apparently i didn't vent my anger enough for some peoples liking so here it goes
What i hate about vampires:
mainly what i hate is this trend that vampires can be your friend, boyfriend, cuddle bunny, or what ever. mostly with twilight and the vampire diaries, look vampires are sexy because they are dangerous and forbidden, if you make them so damn accessible they will loose there charm. so make some damn scary vampire shows/movies and do it now.
as for Edward cullen, your moody emo and you freakin sparkle.. what is up with that?
vampires are not your friends.. you do NOT date them, you kill them. end of story.
the next vampire story i want to see the vampires should be the bad guys, and us humans should be killing them.
now i just ranted about how i hate good vampires, but i am going to talk about some good vampires that i like.
Angel and Spike, from Buffy the Vampire slayer.
Now angel was the first so i will start with him.
Angel was a good vampire but not by his choice, he was cursed with a soul so he had to feel every death he ever caused. it was a bad thing to be the good vampire, he spent decades wallowing in self pity, and the rest of the time trying to atone for his sin's he is the tragic hero in full swing.
but better than him (and yes i said better) is spike. spike was an evil vampire and a friend to angelus (evil angel) and his journey to being a good vampire was much different.
it started with a chip... computer not potato, put into his brain to stop him from hurting humans. he had to survive on pig and donated blood. after a while he missed the action and the fight, and in this he found his chip could allow him to hit demons and vampires and the like, one step in the right direction
the he fell in love, with buffy (who i must say is not worthy of all the people who seem to fall in love with her in that show) so with this new found love he eventually wanted to make him self a better person, someone buffy could love back, so he took part in the demon trials, and when he won he was granted any one thing he wanted, and he wanted his soul back.
this is why i like spike better, he chose and fought to get his soul back, he wanted it more. this is shown in the 5th season episode of angel where spike beats angel to a supposed magical chalice, where who ever drinks of it is truly the vampire with the soul who was written ab...blah blah blah you dont want to hear all that.... point was it was a trick and it was filled with mountain dew, but spike sill one.
so i hope that rant helped fill the void left by the last vampire post
hope you all have a happy Halloween

warning this one may suck (hehe)
in honor of all hallowed eve i have decided to do my planed blog about vampires... more importantly the difference between the more popular interpretations of said vampires, and the new trend of the cuddly vampires.... some who sparkle *barf*
lets start with my favourite vampires
Buffy the vampire slayer vampires.
These vampires are demons who inhabit the corpse of a dead human.
they are super strong and fast,they also heal quickly but generally they have no extra ordinary powers like flight or shape shifting (not including Dracula, who you find out in season 8 comic run, actually got his powers separately from becoming a vampire) they also have super senses.
they need to drink human blood to survive, but can also survive on the blood of other animals like rats or pigs.
personally they are the human they were before but with out a soul and inhibitions.
there weaknesses are fire, sunlight, having there heart penitrated by wood and having there head severed from there bodies.
they are without souls thus they feel no remorse for there horrid actions until they are re souled like spike and angel, some take it better than others, some spend decades in guilt, some spend a month in a school basement.
though they are without souls they can still feel feelings of love and hate.
when they are killed they turn to dust... for easy clean up and avoiding those pesky murder charges from police officers who are out of the loop.
now that all being said they don't have the cool powers like some vampires do, so they may not win in a fight with some of the other vampires
secondly let us address the very similar
Blade movie vampires
they are similar to the buffy vamps, in that they have the same powers and turn to ash when they die.
as far as i know they can only survive on human blood or blades serum.
they are more scientific in origin, claiming that vampirism is a virus that is passed on from either from birth or bite.
they also have different weaknesses instead of a wooden stake to the heart they can be killed with a silver stake to any vital organ, also they are week to garlic. they are still weak to sun, but in the nature of being more scientific they are actually reactive to uv light natural or man made.
they are much different then there counterparts in marvel comics that blade is based on. i am not going to get into that because comics have way to much back story to try and sum up lets just say they were created by priests in atlantis before it sunk ... yeah told you
now for another one of my faves
night watch/day watch/twilight watch/final watch vampires.
the watch vampires are similar to blade vampires by way of being able to be born or turned through bite.
they are weak to sunlight yes but more so they are weak to high levels of alcohol and magic
vampires are licensed to hunt humans and are given a seal , if they get out of line the seal can be used to kill them instantly.
most vampires are just common low level dark others who are looked down on by other..uh others... yeah. they have no real power besides strength longer life and speed. the one power they do have is the ability to call humans to them like a siren.
some vampires can reach the level of higher vampires but it is hard to achieve as you have to completely drain 100 humans of blood. when they become higher vampires they are able to use magic in ways that lower vampires can't.
they are not inherently evil and some even choose to live on donated blood.
now for the trendy vampires
the ones you can take home to mother, sure angel was a good vampire, and so was spike eventually. but they were cool becasue they were unique and hell it was not even angel's choice to have his soul.
lets get into the new wave of vampres
Twilight vampires
yes everyone's favorite golden eyed smooth skinned sparkly vampire boyfriends
they can survive on animal blood but it takes years of training not to eat every human who walks by.
they are super strong and fast have all the senses as the other vampires but they have no weakness that the average human can take advantage of.
to be killed they must be dismembered and burned... a feat only another vampire can do, which is actually kind of cool in the way that it makes them scarier but it also means that us normies have no chance if they get hungry.
some of the vampires have special abilities but only if they had some sort of ability when they were human.
they are really way to popular for people who sparkle
now for the similar
The vampire diaries vampires
so far i don't know to much about them sept they seem a little bit more based on original vampire ideas but with the whole lovable vampire twist
they are strong and fast. when the feed on human blood they get faster and stronger and the ability to contoral human minds, summon mist and crows.....
i will learn more about them as the show goes on. till then i will with hold judgment.
well there are some vampires... there are WAY to many to get into so i stuck with tv and film
vampires (and even then not even close to all of them)
hope it was informitive

525 948.766 minutes
as of tomorrow it will have been one year since my wife settled for me :)
yes a whole year of marital bliss
and what a year it has been. bought renovated and set up a house, have a baby on the way. we both have worked our little butts off to keep our lives happy.
sure there have been disagreements and the such, but every day i get to go to bed beside my best friend and the most beautiful woman in the world, so obviously it is all worth it.
my child will be here in a matter of months and i could not be more excited.. and a little worried
i am mostly worried about when the child becomes older and i have to be the parent, discipline them when they are doing something bad, even if it is adorable at the same time. i have to not laugh and be stern ... not easy to do.
then there is the obvious changing of diapers that i am NOT looking forward too but that is obvious.
what i am looking forward to is playing with him/her, raising them and trying to teach them wrong from right, and that green lantern is the greatest superhero ever and not jack bauer like some people may think (sorry hunny)
also i am looking forward to rising to the challenge, i don't know if i will be a good father but i do know i will never stop trying to be, i just hope when he/she grows up they can look at me like i look at my parents and know that even though they are not perfect they did the best possible job and i am proud of them.
that right there is they key, to let them know you love them and you are doing the best you can for them, hopefully it will be enough.
well heres hoping i make the grade.
