Da Dominion: Home of DOMINIONCAST!

It can be said that the most talented, gifted and exceptional among us can find themselves lonely so far above the mediocre. Such isolation can inevitably lead them to a state of mania where they attempt to reach beyond their power - to bring us into their vision. When brought low by ill fame, suspicion, rejection and the inevitable hardships of time, our failing to accept their alieness, they may overcompensate in seeking a world better than any of us can imagine being real, or ever hope to visualize.

This is the case of Michael Jackson - singer, writer, artist, King of Pop Music. The pain of the difference between the world he could create in his music and that we all dwell in was too painful, and likely led him into abuse of shallow chemical relief.

May the beauty he gave the world forever remain the impression we hold of him, more so than the idiosyncrasies of a pained spirit. May he continue to inspire us to a better world of our own making.

You regular readers may have noticed the absense of articles on their scheduled days.

I’m sorry for this gap in ribald writing, which is caused by adjusting to a new job, sleep schedule and work on da Dominion Revamp. The re-design, re-focused and re-imagined site has already sucked Hunin (remember the fat guy on Dominion Cast?) into the matrix and I’m fighting for it not to absorb your Dominus.

Expect articles for TV Tuesday and Wildcard Wednesday this weekend.Thanks for you patience.

Thai authorities found veteran action actor David Carradine apparently hung in his Bangkok hotel room last night. Despite the circumstantial evidence, we at da Dominion do NOT accept this explanation.

Sifu Carradine himself once had this to say about his life’s work:

“It’s always seemed to me like a mission. A holy one, like the Blues Brothers. It’s a marathon. You can’t quit; even coming in dead last has honor. Quitting doesn’t. Look, I had absolute faith in my future when I was starving in New York and no one believed in me besides me and my girlfriend. I’d be stupid to lose that faith after I’ve become a fucking icon. Oh, yes. And I love the work.”

Regardless of whatever happened, we respect Carradine for the man that he was as well as the legends he portrayed.

Pronounced “SHED-jewel”, cause Jean Luc Picard is gangsta.

Da Dominion will now have scheduled daily topics. No more grab bag issues covered chaotically, but still ascerbically and hilariously. Tune in to these days for the topics that tickle you:

Movie Mondays
TV Tuesdays
Wild Wednesday - what will be covered? New Dominion Cast? Top 10 Celebrity boob jobs? Social commentary? Come and see!
Music Thursday - no alliteration, just the jams
Gaming Friday - advice to run your weekend table top adventures or just video games to eat up your weekend.

This is what things will eventually devolve into.

We will be taking a break for the holiday weekend, but will be returning Tuesday the 26th with a new arrangement in posting - including a return to daily posts.

May you have a sober and reflective Memorial Day (although many may be getting drunk up until 2 am Tuesday “for the Holiday”).
