I have decided that Comic Con is made up of 2 totally different conventions. The first is the Industry Convention filled with authors, artists, editors, publishers. The panels that involve these people are amazingly interesting and often educational. What's more, you normally don't have to wait in a HUGE line to see them. Then there is the second convention - Hollywood! This is the movie studio's opportunity to drum up interest in upcoming movies and TV shows and to give back to the fans.

I had a very interesting moment however, that changed the way I view things. Stasi (Anastasia as she's known professionally) was asked by two people to give an interview for documentaries about the convention. The was for Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me). The second was for Dig Comics' Miguel Cima. What was interesting was that we went upstairs to the video room for Spurlock's shoot and I walked within about 10 feet of Hugo Weaving (Matrix, Lord of the Rings). I looked at him and my first thought was "OMG it's that's guy from the Matrix" - but I couldn't remember his name (I'm bad like that). He was wearing glasses so I wasn't 100% sure it was him and I wasn't about to go up to him and say "OMG you're that guy from the Matrix" only to find out I'm wrong. Anyway, once I had the name, I went around the corner again and he was now sitting down in the MTV booth to film the MTV News or whatever. Then as I sat back down, Morgan came out and I mentioned to him how Super Size Me disturbed me for a long time (I still don't like McDonalds so much). He replied "Great, then it did its job". Then the production assistant mentioned that Anastasia was one of their industry experts for the documentary. This was where I had the aha moment. Morgan's eyes got big, he smiled, shook my wife's hand and said "It's so great to meet you. Thank you so much for doing this." Now whether he was sincere or not, though I believe he was, the role of celebrity changed and suddenly he was just a guy who happened to make Documentaries for a living. As we walked back to leave, I didn't even care if Hugo was around the corner. Yes it was cool to see him but he's just a guy that is able to act.

So back to the convention - as we walked toward a panel we wanted to see, we passed line after line that extend down the hall. One is for Star Wars Old Republic - a panel from the creators about the game. It wrapped clear around one side of the building. You had to stand single file as close as possible. And not everyone there has discovered deodorant yet. Then we passed a line for a panel that had actresses from Scott Pilgram vs. the World, Fringe, etc. As they started to let this line into the panel room someone mentioned "I've been waiting for 4 hours". I couldn't believe it. Wait 4 hours to sit in a room with 6,000 other people to hear some actresses talk about a show you've already seen every episode for speak for when just down the hall is a room with maybe 300 seats with Marv Wolfman (New Teen Titans, Crisis on Infinite Earths) who spent an hour with us teaching us about writing and the structure of Story. Or the panel with the creators of Amelia Rules, and Babymouse telling us about how they feel about trying to get comics into the classroom. What's even more amazing - THERE WERE NO LINES! There is something definitely for everyone but as for me, I think I'll have a 30 min conversation with the creator of Ax Cop or An American Born Chinese than wait twice that to get a poster signed by a TV star (but I'll still take pictures of them as I walk by)

"She's the only one." who sees this train wreck coming. And through that alcoholic haze no less!!!

Of course there could be anoher possibility:::::Due to the legacy of hatred for the Gods, since I am guarenteed a spot on the next Planet Earth I will be the original "bad seed":::The Lucifer-figure of the next reality. Unlike Christian dogma, he may just be some disgruntled asshole, representing the only target of the God's ire early, the proverbial "apple" of the next reality, beginning the infectious process which leads planets to where we are today.

Outstanding clue generously offered by the Gods:::
There are clues the Gods have a symbol that represents them. As Christians recognize the upside down cross as the sign of Satan so do the Satanist offer an upside down star with a circle surrounding as their symbol.
I believe the star with a perimeter or bisecting circle is the symbol of the Gods. As a "disgruntled future Lucifer" I enjoyed all things "Piss on the Star".
Including Cowboy haters who sang a nice song with this topic.
The 11-5 2009 Dallas Cowboys are currently 1-6.

I suspect many attempts have begun already, but as time goes on the Gods will test people's religious resolve with an insurmuntable positioning stating Christianity is the one true religion. We've seen their efforts in Latin America, in the Philippines and most recently in Vietnam, India and the demonizing of Islam.
They intend to test your resolve as Muslims, for those who sell out and flee to Christianity will be subject to their positioning.
Blacks are the most disfavored of all people. We see it in their temptation-ridden culture, in their sexual behavior, which the Civil Rights "assimilation" has allowed. The Gods used their position of the Italians to do their dirty work, implimenting the crack epidemic, the black civil war of the 80s and 90s, AIDS in Africa, "pimp" subculture, etc. The Gods created this positioning of Italian's preditory behavior on Africans to reflect their own disfavor towards that group, allowing them to get what they want without accepting culpability, convieniently. As such, come the Apocalypse those who abandon their true selves, their religion and their dedication to it will be victims in this deceptive Christian theater.
Blacks that opt for the "easy way out" will ironically lose their lives in the Apocalypse. Only those who remain true to their religion, its strict methods and lifestyle, and resist the outside temptations stating their are going the wrong way will emerge out of the carnage of The End of Time. They are highly suspectable to temptation and they need their religion to help them be strong and resist it. They will be better people for it and superior to the Christians in the end.

Full Metal Jacket:::"You know what I hate? We're trying to help these people and they shit all over us." Because you're destroying their way of life, introducing poison into their culture, like JFK's Catholicism.
The same ocurrs with Peace Corps and other volunteer/missionary efforts offered. These people have a better chance of ascending into heaven, and Americans unwittingly are being used to reduce/eliminate this chance with their misled good intentions and later their intentional preditory intentions, maximizing the damage they incurr from the Gods.
Another loss for liberals.

This is the life of utmost importance. People need to listen, understand and learn from me and make the changes I prescribe. Without, they will have no chance at ascending into heaven before the Apocalypse, and the only hope they will have is 1000 years with Jesus, which is no sure thing.
Even so, assuming they are rewarded with 1000 years with Jesus, they will be offered all manners of temptations, for it will be THE Big Party at The End, and if they don't address these problems now, while they have this chance to learn this activity is evil, before society declares it socially acceptable, they will be granted some fraction of 1000 years and be disposed of thereafter, when the party "dies down", pardon the pun.
Also, disgusted by their behavior, the Gods have created a subculture which celebrates partying in the black community, guarenteeing that "requirement" is satisfied so they are never "invited".
Only those people who never began the temptations or who addressed these issues and remedied the problems will move on to the next Planet Earth. And we are still approximately 4 lifetimes away, most of which I expect to be revelry years. By that time even the most conservative Christian will be tested to see if they can establish this destructive legacy of revelry.
Move on to a new Planet Earth. This is their second chance::::They have to start over. Either they ascend into heaven from their planet of origin or they don't ascend as all, and that's how the system works.
It's a very small population which exists at the dawn of agrarianism because most have sccumbed to temptation and failed to achieve their second
