Behold! My most recent sketches! Pretty impressive, eh?

Facebook

Well, I said it before that I would never get a Facebook or a Myspace, but now, I decided to become a member of the former. Reason why I'm a member of Facebook is because I'm sick of not finding anything to do on the internet beside lurking forums like 4chan and other blogs like Topless Robot and Japanator. I guess this way, I can keep in touch with my friends and all that junk. I guess that social networking isn't that bad after all. But I'm still not getting a MySpace. Ever.

Musing #1: Nat Turner's Rebellion

Okay, back when I was a Junior in High School, I caught a glimpse of Nat Turner's Rebellion, which involved a slave from Virginia named Nat Turner who killed over 50 whites, including women and children. I remember saying to myself, "There goes one of the first black people to fuck everything up for his race." Now, I'm black myself, and I don't see everything in black and white; I see things on both sides of the coin.

Fast-forward 4 years later, and I decided to read up on the whole thing. And I read had to be the most embarrassing thing ever to happen in black history, in my opinion. So what I gathered was that Nat Turner was an intelligent preacher who saw himself as a prophet. One day, he claimed that he had a vision; a vision saying that God came to him and told him to slay his enemies, which in this context meant the whites. All of them. So, as said before, he and his crew hacked up over 50 whites, in order to free the slaves and strike fear into white people, but his plan had failed miserably when he and his crew were captured and executed. Because of this, more than 200 blacks were killed, and they weren't even in on the plan, which made it even more fucked up. Plus, this led to the whole teaching slaves to read and write being outlawed at the time. I was done.

I would understand his motive if he didn't kill anyone, nor did he listen to a "vision" from God. Now being a pagan, I'm having a hard time trying to understand why God would tell this man to kill his enemies, EVEN though in the Bible, killing is wrong.

I'm sorry to say this, but if there's a Hell, then Nat Turner is BURNING like an overcooked fish.

Introduction

2009-09-08T11:39:00.000-07:00

For years, I have been into anime, manga, cartoons, art, electronic, hip-hop and rock music and a lot of writing. I call myself "Tan-Sau", a Wing Chun term meaning "dispersing hand", but actually named after one of my favorite Plaid songs. This is my blog; I chose to create a blog instead of using two the big devils of the internet, MySpace and Facebook (Though I would use Facebook, and plus I have a deviantART page). From this day forth, I will post my artwork, my literature (even though I pretty much can't write for shit), and mainly my musings and rants.
