I apologize for the extreme lack of updates but life is a big and intrusive thing that most times cannot be avoided so, something less important must be let go to make way.

I will try my best to update more but do not hate me if I cannot.

Also, I apologize for not writing my usually detailed blogs about my relationships but I found it important to try to keep certain thing under wraps.

Anyway, here is a blog that deals with the "Re-Birth" of Captain America.

Enjoy it...

Disclaimer:

The following is based on the small amount of comic book geek relapse I had when purchasing the fantastic Season 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Hey Everybody.

Being a former comic book geek, now a recovering comic book geek, I was for a brief moment caught up in the "Death of Captain America" story line.

It was a cool concept, the Death of Captain America.

As Captain America is killed, there is a power struggle between superheroes in the Marvel Comics Universe.

Basically it's a super-powers versus natural ability conflict orchestrated by the Government.

Essentially, the story line was set up to reflect the current "with us or against us" mentality of the Republican/US Government approach to its citizens and the world.

I did not follow the storyline and didn't think anymore about it.

That is until I read this story on JoBlo.com

The passage that stood out to me was and I quote, "Captain America recently died at the hands of a sniper bullet and will soon be re-introduced into the Marvel universe as a gun-toting, black-pants wearing, similarly patriotic, and completely new (as in not Steve Rogers) superhero in the comic world…"

Captain America, a gun-toting superhero?

Captain America?

WTF!!??!!

The Marvel Universe's fighter for truth, justice, and the American way now carries a gat?

I find this completely disheartening and sad.

How can a symbol of what America should be (image of Original Captain America) become a symbol of what America is now (image 1, 2 and 3 of "new" Captain America)?

The character of Captain America should always be symbol of what America wants to be not what it has devolved into, a country of gun-toting, xenophobes.

But, it is what it is.

And nothing says "America" like a GUN.
