V for Vendetta

The Gunpowder Treason

“Remember, remember the fifth of November.
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot.
I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.”

Years ago I first watched the movie V for Vendetta. V for Vendetta is a 2005 dystopian thriller film. It is an adaptation of the V for Vendetta comic book by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. Set in London in a near-future dystopian society, where Hugo Weaving as V is attempting to get revenge and start a revolution. Watching this movie was my first introduction to the real Guy Fawkes and the Gun powder treason and plot.

Novembeard!

November is here and it’s time for my second annual participation in No Shave November, or Novembeard. A great time to connect with our scraggly ancestors. It’s good practice if the apocalypse happens and there are no more Mach III razors to shave with. You will have more facial warmth during the cold month. Mostly it’s just fun and you get to compete with friends on who can go the month without shaving off the beard. Keep reading and I’ll give you a few reasons why you should participate too!

Rough Year Coming

I’ll share why I’m thinking this and urge you to make (common sense) preps a priority for a few months at least.
