Spidey's Divorce
As some of you may have heard, Spider-man and Mary Jane are no longer married in the Marvel Universe. Many of you probably do not give two shits about this, but whatever, I will talk about it anyways.
First off, I have to say that I have not been reading the Spidey books lately, especially not since JMS took over the writing duties. Anyways, this storyline is called "One More Day" and takes place after a few crushing things happen to Peter. In support of the Super-Hero Registration Act, he unmasks on national television. Later he switches sides and becomes an outlaw, fighting alongside Captain America. The Kingpin hires a hitman to take out either MJ or Aunt May. Needless to say Aunt May catches a bullet and becomes a vegetable.
With absolutely no hope of restoring her life, Peter decides to make a deal with Mephisto (Marvel's devil), which basically forces him and MJ to erase their marriage from the world's memories. Luckily for Peter, his negotiation skills must have been pretty good because he got Mephisto to get rid of his unmasking and also the weird new powers he recently found himself with, such as organic webbing (like the movies)...
I remember back when the first movie came out, their was a story that Marvel wanted Kevin Smith to write a Spider-Man story that would get MJ and Peter out of marriage without having them divorce or killing her off. I always pictured Kevin Smith walking out of the room muttering, "You want the impossible" before slumping off to watch his
I have absolutely no real problem with this story. My only concern is that it will just be a quick gimmick, like when DC did something similar with the Flash. It started out great, and then after six issues they went back to the status quo...
Only time will tell...

Best of 2007
I blatantly stole this idea from Greg's blog, which I am absolutely alright with and have nothing better to come up with on my own today.
Book of the Year
I read a bunch of books this year, and it really comes down to two: Rant and Crooked Little Vein. Both books were absolutely incredible, but in the end I have to say that Rant by Chuck Palahniuk beats out Warren's first novel.
Comic Book of the Year
I will break this down into subcategories.
Best On-Going Series: Fables by Bill Willingham.
Best Vertigo Book: Cairo. Even if you do not read comics, I think people should pick this up. It's different.
Best Mindblowing Thing to Come Out This Year: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier by Alan Moore. As with the first two LXG books, you could spend years studying each panel and dissecting where each little thing comes from. As with the other books, this one does not just present itself in comic form. Moore writes one part in the form of an unfinished Shakespeare play, and some other interesting stuff tossed in there as well.
Best Movie of the Year
I think this one is pretty easy for me and you should all be guessing it right now. 300. I am sure some of you will disagree, but this is my list so screw you. Also though, Superbad and Knocked Up were both hilarious and very close to be being the best.
Alright, that's about all I got, anyone care to share theirs?

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to those of you who still celebrate the Julian Calendar. For those of you unaware, it is Christmas time for all those folks in the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
In other holiday news, the folks of Cambodia celebrate Victory Day Over the Genocidal Regime. So some people are celebrating the birth of Christ and others are extremely happy that Pol Pot finally got deposed.

My Bucket List
What kind of things do I want to accomplish before I die? Instead of following the example of the guys in the movie and wait until I am about to die, why not make my list now? This way it gives me plenty of time to fulfill them and to add/remove things over time.
1. Have sex with 100 girls. I know this sounds pretty bad, but let's think about this for a second. I am already a little over a quarter of the way there, and if I can average about two girls a year for the next 35-40 years, it's really not that big of a deal. This is also one of those goals that will probably be removed if I were ever to get married and be replaced by something like "Have kids."
2. Travel. I do not really have much desire to go see the sights of America. They just do not call out to me. I will really have to expand upon this more later. In fact, it really deserves it's own post. Let me just say this for right now, I do not want to be a tourist, I just want to go somewhere and spend time and then return home.
3. Get into a sword fight or a gunfight, like an Old Western gunfight.
4. Go to every Major League park. My step-dad has been to a bunch of them and I would love to be able to say I have done the same. Parks I have been to: PNC, Camden Yards, Jacobs Field, Three Rivers Stadium...I have a long way to go. Hmm, I guess I could take a summer and combine this with number two, and probably help whittle away some of number one as well...
5. Hunt and kill either a vampire or werewolf. They ultimate big game, a much harder prey than humans or polar bears. Unfortunately the whole mythical monster thing makes it tough to accomplish. Also, I would probably look rather weird wearing leather (apparently if you watch enough of these kinds of movies, you know that hunters always wear black leather).
I think this is very nice to start to my list. Let me know what your five things are so far in life.
