Do something goddamn it…….

Hector Pieterson (1964 – 16 June 1976) became the iconic image of the 1976 Soweto uprising in apartheid South Africa when a news photograph by Sam Nzima of the dying Hector being carried by a fellow student, was published around the world. He was killed at the age of 12 when the police opened fire on protesting students. For years, June 16 stood as a symbol of resistance to the brutality of the apartheid government. Today, it is known as National Youth Day — a day on which South Africans honour young people and bring attention to their needs….
After watching the horrific video of the young woman who was shot in Tehran, it made me think a bout young Hector. Why must people die in order for us to realize how fucked up things are. I am saddened and disgusted and crying waterfalls as i type. When will it end?

SAY HELLO……to my lil’ friend. HellBoy’s “Samaritan” REVOLVER. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a huge fan of Hellboy, not just the movies but the comics as well. During my trip to Manila I found a tiny toy store and in the back, glowing like Bruce Leroy and soflty whispering three words repeatedly” Travie, Buy Me…Travie, Buy Me”etc..etc..etc…I couldn’t help my self especially considering the fact that it was being sold for almot 3/4’s less than the asking price in the states or online. I couldnt resist. I dare a motherfucker to set foot in my perimeters acting funny, you’ll be guaranteed to catch some “WHOPPERS” to the torso. Just a little wiki background on my new hand cannon: The Samaritan is an oversized, uniquely large caliber four-round revolver. It fires its custom-made bullets with adequate power to easily penetrate virtually any material. The gun itself has unearthly resistance to almost all forms of attack, and includes grips carved from fragments of the True Cross. The metal of the gun is forged from a combination of Irish church bells, cold iron from crucifixes, blessed silver, and other mystic metals.
The Samaritan only holds four of its oversized rounds, and is difficult to load with the large fingers on the Right Hand of Doom. As a result, Hellboy usually tries to load with his left hand when possible. He is only able to fire the Samaritan with his left hand, again due to the size of the fingers on his right hand.
