death of the one armed pony
the wind was very brisk, almost like a knotted rope in the air. An air that was meet with the bustling and vibrant sounds of nightlife. Nightlife like that of an urban oasis in the middle of the Navadan desert.Wind blowing the palms so hard you think you might have to start ducking coconuts. you decide to walk in to John Wilkie's Homestead. entering what seemed to be the brightest place in town. you are meet with the loudest and most drunken yell of "JACKPOT" wondering is this a barfly Casino."would you like a complimentary drink" said one of the hostesses of the Casino. she must have noticed the thirsty curiosity on my face. to tell you honestly I think she says that to everyone entering the casino. There is nothing like a drunk person in the casino with a lot of money and I looked like a million bucks. you see; you can't tell how much money a person has; just how much they show." no thank you Dear" I said politely. chaling,clang clang ting ting ting all the sounds you hear in passing. when my eyes arose to see a scruffy man, pale, bald except for you average straight white, peppered with gray horseshoe. seeing that smoke billow out of his mouth from that half smoked Cuban I knew exactly who it was. " good ol' Johnny boy how ya been." I said with a s#!t eating grin." "how ya' been Jerrod" "well I'm back in town." Jerrod said with an even tone. " Well I got a story for you that happened when you were out of town." just like Johnny, he always has a story for you no matter what. I guess he feels it brings him luck. "Okay I'm at the poker table. the running pot is 1,000,000 bucks. a woman walking by drops he ice cream and it goes twat on the floor." "don't you mean twaught" said Jerrod. ya' sound like ya' across the pond. it went twat o.k. anyway the river came; I looked at my cards and I was sitting on a Royal Flush. One of the best nights here at my casino" john said. seeming as he said that a man with a crazed look on his face stepped to the table. he had a nine millimeter in his hand with an extended clip. Johnny out the corner of his eye noticed me pull my pants leg. which was his cue to draw Tony's attention and focus on him." now Tony what seems to be the reason for this rude interruption of my poker playing. I run a justified casino. if you lost your money that's your fault not mine. I didn't know the were going to evict your family if I didn't give you the marker for that poker game. how was i supposed to know that your wife was gonna commit suicide in that motel room?!" john said. as tony responded I knew this was my only chance i had to move and move quick. in one i kicked back in the chair i was sitting in and pulled the snub nosed 38 I had in my ankle holster. i knew i was gonna have one shot so i had to make it count. Tony was quicker than i thought. he got a shot off. Fortunately, his just grazed me and ended up in the $10 slot machine behind me. Fortunately for Johnny mine landed squarely between Tony's eyes. night, night Tony! still haven't lost me touch. always had a knack for shooting blind and never missing."Jerrod i knew you could shot but not like that" " well Johnny I'm one point unlike so many others." said Jerrod." you looking for a job." well if the community supports it I may take you up on that offer."" well at least get that pay out from that $10 slot machine for saving my life."said johnny." right now you have to get out of here so I can clean this up." as I started to walk out of the casino. johnny stopped me."hey Rod, good to have you back""alright fellas lets wrap this up" as I continued to walk out of the casino I realized this homecoming is definitely not going to be boring. well with a little reinforcement this might actually be worth it. now it's time for a nice long shower.

"Vib"ranium
First off "Spoiler Alert" just watched the new Captain America movie. So......there will be some references to the movie. there are a couple perspectives of Vibranium i will touch on. The most obvious is the cosmic metal that was used to make adamantium. Ok I'm 16 walking into Wegmans'; where Alec Baldwins mother shops for her groceries; to purchase a Marvel Universe update 89' comic. I walked to the magazine isle to see the selection of comics. while I was thumbing through my thoughts."lets see Wolverine, Uncanny X-men, Fantastic Four, Thor. Wow! whats this!" I came upon a gem. See I hadn't planned to purchase a Marvel encyclopedia; but when I saw it I knew. that It was exactly what I wanted. You see the encyclopedias' detailed out certain things like A character's names: like Blade's,which was unknown; teams history: like the Avengers and X-men headquarters were located in upstate New York; and super descriptions: like Adamantium is a combinations of metals. 50 percent and 50 various other metals. the advance of the various metals should be 45 percent Uru and 5 percent Titanium. Why Uru? Uru is tied to Urusalem in the Arc of the covenant; but I digress. You see in the comic books, and a wolverine origin story in the movies. Adamantiun was created by Stryker in a Canadian Research facility. Where he placed on weapon X of Alpha Flight's bones. when you know this comic book info. It makes it difficult to reconcile that adamantium came from space in the form of a Celestial AI being. this is exactly what happened in the Captain America a new world movie. I wonder if viewers of Harry Potter and Twilight had the same trouble as I did reconciling. Fortunately, the presence of Wakandan Tech and Vibranium in the movie was well represented. Now that we have dicussed the objective perspective of Vibranium. next we will discuss the subjective.
