Justice... in the USA?

The Initiative

2007-10-20T04:41:41Z

Well, The 50 State Initiative has been under way for a few months now...

And the only redeeming thing about it is...

Oh, wait, there isn't one.

Losers.

Gah! And I'm part of it.

I hate myself, I do, but I feel like I'm the only one looking out for these kids. They're what really matter.

I miss Angel, she could really help here.

The dust has settled

2007-06-13T17:45:01Z

So the Civil War is done.

And my default icon is more appropriate than ever.

America just isn't the same without The Captain.

It's diffucult to swallow my pride and work alongside some of these people. You know what I'm talking about. But the benefit of helping these kids certainly outweighs any of my issues.

The secrets, though, have got to go.

And they will.

I'll make sure of it.

Civil War... it keeps going, and going, and going

2007-01-21T21:10:47Z

When will this bullshit end, huh? And then it looks like it's going to drag on a bit even after that. GAWDDAMMIT and a half! How the hell am I supposed to do anything when I'm hiding in some forsaken oblivious corner of the Marvel Universe from everything going on. Seriously, the House of M was better than this and the House of M sucked donkey cock.

Even crankyoldastro isn't having any fun and he usually loves it when everybody else is miserable.

Civil War... shenanigans!

2006-12-29T19:58:34Z

I'm tired of this Civil War brouhaha. I don't even know if Robbie is alive or dead at this point. It's enough to make a guy want to go "alternate universe." I'm met people through the nexus, maybe I should make a run for it. Hey, Ben went to France.

Being written up for loecbc (The League of Extraordinary Comic Book Characters.)

astro_american: "Look, you'll be safe here from all that Civil War nonsense."

crankyoldastro: "WHAT IS THIS RUNDOWN SHITHOLE?"

astro_american: "It's the old Avengers West compound. Nobody's using it and all the action is out east."

crankyoldastro: "THIS PLACE SUCK MONKEYBALLS. I WANNA GO HOME."

astro_american: "I can't take you home. SHIELD will come after you for being an unregistered superhero."

crankyoldastro: "I'M NO GAWDDAMN SUPER-HEEEE-RO."

astro_american: "You know that and I know that, but SHIELD'll just see a guy in a funny suit who has powers -"

crankyoldastro: "STUPID FUCKWITS."

astro_american: "No argument here. Anyway -"

crankyoldastro: "THIS SUIT'S THE ONLY THING KEEPING ME ALIVE."

astro_american: "I know that -"

crankyoldastro: "AND I JUST USE MY POWERS TO ANNOY PEOPLE!"

astro_american: "And you're very good at that. But SHIELD doesn't give a shit so sit tight here while I go back to Cap."

crankyoldastro: "THAT'S RIGHT, BOY. RUN ON BACK TO THAT FASCIST FLAG WAVER."

astro_american: "Uh, he's on the side against the government."

crankyoldastro: "WHATEVER."

astro_american: leaves

crankyoldastro: "NOW, LET'S SEE WHAT'S AROUND HERE."

There is the truth...

and then there is denial.

Proud of myself.

2006-09-09T18:25:41Z

That's right, folks. I said "Fuck off!" to this hero registration bullshit.

I'm just really glad that She-Hulk wasn't the one that came to me, I have a tough time being rough with ladies... especially ones that can totally kick my ass.

Huh.

2006-08-04T02:03:30Z

Well, the House of M has ended, evidently. So I find myself kind of lost. Nobody I've spoken with remembers it, but I haven't spoken to any of the main players yet. My head is full because I remember both lives. It's going to take some time to sort it all out.

I don't have time. As far as I know Clint is dead again, like he was before the House of M. And the New Warriors... I... I can't even talk about THAT. With all that's going on in this country I think it best if I just lay low for a while.

(((updated profile)))

Uhm........

2006-07-04T00:32:42Z

Yeah, I've, uh, been hiding out since SHIELD raided my apartment.

I'll try to be back to being my active resistance self soon.

Question...

2006-05-11T21:45:22Z

If you woke up and I was in bed with you, what would be your first thought?
Reply here, then post the above line in your own journal.

2006-05-09T22:09:14Z

Uh, if you happen to run into crankyoldastro please try to not get too offended. Remember, humor him, he was alone in space for over 1,000 years so he's a bit... cranky.

I have to put up with him, he's a future me! *shudder*

I spent far too much hanging out with Xander, aka heartofscoobies, over in this Nexus-thing called sages_of_chaos. He is far too much like me. Maybe he's his realty's version of me?

astro_american @ 2006-05-08T18:58:00

2006-05-08T22:56:46Z

I made a complete idiot of myself with an utterly fantastic, sexy, interesting, and somewhat, but nicely, frightening woman. Ah, it's nice to know I can save peoples' lives and yet still be tongue-tied moron. I may be a mutant but I'm still human. Oh, I didn't mean that to sound racist! I'm sorry to all of my sapien friends.

astro_american @ 2006-05-07T23:03:00

2006-05-08T03:02:53Z

I'm annoyed with myself. I know the truth now, that someone has completely changed the world but no one remembers how it used to be (except for violet_arrows). But I need to do something about it. I HAVE to because if I don't work hard to correct this travesty then I'm not worthy of carrying the Shield that Steve gave to me.

Only 'cuz #8 said I had to and I do anything the internet gods tell me to do.

1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal so you can do the same for other people.

Excuse me, I need to go kill somebody. Back soon.

You know I like redheads, right?

(I know it doesn't look like it in the photo but her hair really IS red.)

She keeps me from being totally depressed.
