Developing story..


The attack of the flies took place yesterday. President Obama was speaking when a fly (at least one) continued to land on his face during his event.. photos snapped of the event and prominently placed on the Drudge Report with “Fly guy” as the headline show the President with the insect on his forehead, his cheek, and his lip.
The HORROR REPORT wrote last night that conspiracy theories are sure to rise..
And last night, the HORROR REPORT received an interesting theory through email, reprinted below without edit for your enjoyment and discernment:
I read the story from the telegraph that you linked about flies having constant battles with obama. i think everyone has it wrong. sure, maybe its proof that he’s a reptilian or something like that, but i think it’s even weirder! I think it is a small drone landing on him! a spy drone, maybe from the middle east or russia. we do it, right? why can’t someone else. they make drones as small as gnats so a fly wouldn’t be a big surprise. I don’t know what intelligence they gained, though, landing on obama i am sure little intelligence could be gathered.
This site has some creative thinkers, like ‘Rob’ who emailed me the thought that drones are to blame .. So has Obama been attacked by drones since his first campaign for president? Or does it reveal a paranormal side to the president.
Or maybe just this: It was a fly that was getting a meal and that’s that. Period.
End of story.
But the story never ends.
And that’s the rest of the story…


He was speaking today being menaced by a fly.. At one point it landed squarely on his four head. But it is not the first time he has been attacked by the insect, there just seems to be something very strange about President Obama and how flies are attracted to him.. I’m sure someone in the paranormal or conspiracy world will say it is a sign that he is the beast or the antichrist.. Maybe he just needs to wash his face?

CNN reporting this tonight:
North Korea said Thursday that it plans to carry out a “high-level nuclear test” and further long-range rocket launches, all of which it said are “aimed at the U.S.”
The statement from the North’s National Defense Commission was carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency

A little personal issue tonight is on my mind..
I have become aware of some troubling news tonight … a friend of mine and a fellow graduate from the class of 1999 somewhere in Pennsylvania, somewhere in time, has passed away way too early after a long battle with breast cancer. I won’t give details of her full name or location, but I decided to write something about this to share some thoughts…
Her name is Lori. And she was filled with life from the moment I met her way back in my high school years. I saw her about two years ago for the first time in ages .. she was in a darker place, battling cancer, and fighting for her life. But living each moment..
I did not speak to her for several months, but that last time I did she seemed ok. She seemed happy, and truly joyful to have moments of life to enjoy.
Today I came to understand that she passed into the next realm, whatever that realm may be..
She is gone too early.. she is gone to fast. The class of 99 is without someone –already. I pray for Lori and her family.. I cannot imagine the grief.
A few months ago I had a Facebook chat with her, in which she was asking me about my then 17-month-old and she was telling me about her 9-year-old. It would so happen to be that last time I spoke to her, unfortunately. During our conversation she explained she just got done having chemotherapy that very day. But it is what she said about family that stuck with me.. Lori said something that now haunts me as much as it does inspire me. Talking about her own children, children she loved, she said, “I wake every morning for them.”
I don’t know what will happen tomorrow when she does not wake for them. I don’t know the rules about death. No one does.. We don’t understand life let alone death. We seldom realize that the final hours could be at our doorstep, waiting and lurking to take us.. We don’t want to come to grips with our own collective demise. And why should we!?
We have people to wake for. We have things to do. Lori did.. and she turned away from the darkness that so many would have succumbed to and embraced light instead. She embraced hope and happiness, and stopped counting down the days and instead began living each moment to the very fullest..
Life takes turns we never expect. Sometimes you meet someone who is living proof that you can live each day with joy and wonder, and live it like it’s your last..
GATHER ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying :
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he’s a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he’s to setting.
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer ;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may go marry :
For having lost but once your prime
You may for ever tarry.



“I want to look out one more time because I’m not going to see this again”

This is the mid-winter slump, if you did not know that already. Today is supposedly the most depressing day of the year (bills are due, and somehow we get treated to AP and Reuters dispatches each January 20ish to stories about how we should all be sad right now, one month or so after the upbeat time of Christmas).. I am not sad, so I guess as usual I am not marching to the beat of the drum. If there is a drum I’d love to know the drummer..
Nonetheless, I just wanted to put out that every now and then on the top part of HORROR REPORT, you may see something that says “lines are open” or “call me now.” I am being literal. When that appears, it means I am available for phone calls if you are using Skype. You can simply click on the link and you can call me through Skype.. I will try to answer all calls I get, and it could be a great way for me to interact with readers..
Even when the lines are closed, I am always available at Bryan@horrorreport.com. Every now and then, once in a blue moon, you can find me on AOL using the name Loomicide. But I’m told AOL instant messenger is too 20th century to keep using..
Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day.
And happy Inauguration day, America. Let’s hope the next four years are a little better than the past four..
