Well, on 10 January 2007 I crossed that major threshold in life. Age 40! I'm still trying to figure out how I made it. I was able to envision myself at age 30 and below. Age 40 seemed some far off mist that really didn't exist. I'm here now and with a 4 month old to boot! What a wild ride!

For the big 4-0, I went to see the Rockets vs. Lakers. My wife totally shocked me with that one! Kobe vs. T-Mac! Yeah, baby! Plus a night at the Westin Galleria hotel. *shakes head* My wife totally got me on that one. I had no idea she was pulling this off! Everything was perfect. The only thing that would have added to the whole thing was for Momma to be here. :(

Alas, I pray that this 40th year of existence will be a year of increase for me and my family. Thanks to all those who remembered my day! My God bless you with overflowing joy!

Yipee!! The Storm/Black Panther mini-series goes on sale this week. I'm saving every last penny I can find (in the couch, under the bed, in the car) to buy TWO copies.

Naturally, this has inspired me to write another drabble. It fills in the missing scene from Black Panther 10 to Black Panther 11.

It's getting closer!! The Storm/Black Panther series is almost here! I'm gonna buy two copies of each issue!! In anticipation here's another little drabble:

Ancient History really has me thinking. So, I've done another musing. Mild Spoilers for 'Ancient History'

I'm so excited about the Storm/Black Panther upcoming events! I can't wait. I think I'll buy two of each book, so I can have one to read and one to put away for posterity. Here's another drabble:

( NOT TO BE )

Just another little drabble for the Storm/Black Panther shippers out there. And you know who you are!!

( Time, Time, Time )

I've decided to start a series of drabbles in anticipation of the upcoming Storm/Black Panther series of comics as well as current issues of the Black Panther. Enjoy!

I've really been into the Black Panther lately. I like Rex Hudlin's take on him so far. He makes T'challa not only kingly and bad black to the bone, but he has him arrogant almost to the point of recklessness,even Rogue pointed that out. However, Rogue and Storm and agree that T'challa is HOT! I'm also glad to see that Ororo and T'challa almost seem to know that they are made/destined for one another. That payoff at the end of Black Panther 9 made my month!

Now to the other side of the coin, the Boondocks animated show. Wow! I can't explain how crazy that show is. I've read mixed reviews, but I think Aaron McGruder is now to able to show more graphical his satirical wit. If you haven't seen the show, especially those of us who are of African descent, check it out on Sundays at 11:00 EST or 10:00 CST. WARNING: THIS IS NOT FOR KIDS!!

( NOT FOR THE EASILY OFFENDED )

Southern trees bear a strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black body swinging in the Southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant South,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh,
And the sudden smell of burning flesh!

Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for a tree to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

Nothing major going on. I'm contemplating writing a couple of JLU pieces. I know one I definitely want to do that is quite romantic and sensual. I hope to have it completed in the next 2 weeks.

Now for a rant. I'm so sick of the Terrell Owens situation. I like TO, and I'm ambivalent towards the Eagles. All of this bull**** could've been avoided had Philly simply said we'll examine the contract. That's it. But no! I'm not saying Philly had to pay any more, but they could've smothered the fire by simply saying we'll talk.

I know I'm in the vast majority, but I'm a guy who likes Vixen/Green Lantern, so sue me.

Well, I posted my first fic here. I chose something fairly safe. It's one of my better works (at least in my opinion). We'll see what the pros have to say about it.

This is my first entry on any type of blog. Thus, I'm not sure what to say. I recognize a few folks here, and I want to thank mtgat for inviting me.

A little about me: I'm a large Justice League fan. I am especially fond of John Stewart and his strange amorous affairs. Along with that, I enjoy reading good fanfiction about the JLU. A little secret: I'm a closet SM/WW shipper. ;)

On a serious note, I'm looking for other fanfic involving African/African-American heroes. There's a serious lack of material for these characters and even moreso with them involved in a serious relationship with each other, although no slash please.

That's enough blabbing for today. I'll try to be faithful to the community. Thanks for the time.
