Tell your gods to ready for blood


I am a relentlessly optimistic person. I always expect to be surprised, usually pleasantly. I dont know where this comes from, but I have been really lucky to have this weird personality trait as my constant companion.


Well, my faith has been shaken.


Apparently, "John from Cincinnati" sucks. The reviews are starting to leak out, and they are uniformly awful. For those of you following along, "JfC" is the series from David Milch and was the reason that he ended "Deadwood" early. Cocksucker. AnywayI thought the series seemed confusing ("surf noir" anyone?) but now I am officially depressed. It is possible to disagree with critics from time to time, but I fear on this one, my optimism has run out...


I love this quote from Milch.



"I am an instrument of purposes that I don't fully understand. Time will tell whether I am a wing nut or a megalomaniac. The difference between a cult and faith is time. I believe that we are a single organism, and that something is at stake in this particular moment."


Clearly a wingnut.
