T'Keya and I have been looking forward to the day when she's finally freed from her seven year incarceration at the Florence McClure Women's correctional center, but for some reason the parole board is dragging it's heels. I don't know who's more frustrated, me or her. I'm going to guess her because she's really sick of the place. I'm sure after seven years the "novelty" of being there has worn off. She's sick of the lousy food, the uncomfortable cots, and the politics of the warden and guards and the correctional system in general. I don't blame her as I'm sick of their politics too. I can't tell you the times where money, or the care packages I send her get held up for stupid reasons or laziness on the parts of the officials in charge of the mail rooms. I just hope that soon the give her release package. She's earned her release and served her time. It's time for my fianceè to join me and start her life again.

Joss Weadon ressurects Buffy from the undead
As many of my friends know, I'm a huge fan of Joss Weadon's supernatural action vehicles Buffy:. The Vampire Slayer and Angel. I've watched both shows and read almost all the comic book "seasons" of Buffy. The news came down that after twelve seasons (both on the air and in the comics) the original team's story will be over. Soon after that another announcement came down from the man himself that he's taking a writer from agents of shield and executive producing a new Buffy series. Okay, fine and good. It's been 21 years since Sarah Michelle gellar had donned the leather jacket and weilded a wooden stake for the first time. However what's surprising is the uproar from the fans about a major change in the title character. She's going to be African American. I've been disgusted by rabid fandom before. Prime examples being star trek, star wars and more recently the CW arrowverse fans vs comic book fans. Of all the fandoms I would never have thought the Buffy fandom to have so many racists. Granted I had the same knee-jerk reaction as other fans. "Buffy should be white!!!". However since the old guard will be "dead" at the end of this "season" in the dark horse comics I can see the possibilities. Since alternate universes exist in Buffy (The wish and dopplegangland) why wouldn't an African American Buffy exist somewhere? Joss has never made a flop when he had control, so he won't steer is wrong now. Have we as Weadon fans forgotten our mantra "In Joss We Trust"? Why should we change that now?
