So...

So I came to the library intending to study for a test for three hours.

I learned all I needed to know in fifteen minutes.

SWAG

Angry.

I am as angry as I have ever been.

But it doesn't last. Only a flashed preview of what could be. Its always that way. Growing angry for me is difficult. Real anger, that is. Not competitive anger. The angriest I can get is in those flashes, because I am nearly convinced that if those flashes were prolonged, I could conceivably hurt someone very badly.

I feel better now.

Goddamn different people.

I am Jack's burning psyche.

How does one disagree on certain social issues? Abortion, I can understand. The idea makes me uncomfortable, but I support the woman's right to choose what she wants. I even understand stem cell research; I disagree with the people against it wholeheartedly, but I can at least understand the argument.

What I am speaking of is the topic of gay discrimination.

How can we pretend we are this fair and balanced country when we deny people that are no different from us the basic rights we have? How can we pretend to to be the moral high ground and the social rock that other countries look to when we cannot even protect our own citizens from their brethren?

Matthew Shepard was brutally beaten, tortured, robbed, then tied to a fence and left to die, which he eventually did after slipping into a coma. Yet, anti-gay protestors still thought this was the correct course of action.

I mean, what are we going to do when faggots become equal citizens? It'll just be like the coloreds. They'll rise up in social standing, take our place, our jobs, and then what will we be left with? Nothing. Goddamn different people.

We don't need this kind of bullshit discrimination in a country such as ours. We owe it to ourselves to treat everyone as equal. We are past this kind of biological imperative to wipe out competition. We are all one people, and we need to act like before we drive each other so far apart that there will be no turning back.

A spin off?! Ludicrous!

Welcome to the Hunter Bishop spin off blog! I know, I know. A spin off blog before your original blog has even got its feet wet?

Apparently so!

The reason I am making a blog of my own is because there are topics that I want to discuss that are not film related, and thus not really applicable to the production company I am a part of. So, I created Sideways.

Truthfully, I have a previous blog, called HunterBishopBlogs2009, or something of that nature. Its still up, but I have all but abandoned it. If it wasn't for the fact that I have some writing on there that I would like to keep but am too lazy to transfer, I would have deleted it. I feel that I am sort of experienced in the blog world, but not to the degree that I would like. I would like for this blog to be read by many people, and that those people take some sort of joy from it. I write for an emotional release, and people enjoying my writing has always amplified those feelings.

Now, this is just an introduction. My plan is to post every day until I settle into a comfortable rhythm, then scale back the posts. Obviously, Holier Than Thou productions has my full attention, but this blog will also be attended too.

I hope that you enjoy the forthcoming posts!
