Hoarders

You see all that?

Seems like alot.

Yeah, I though so too. It was a wake up call that's for damn sure.

This is a fraction of my collection. But these are the games, movies and GULP books I haven't touched yet. Well maybe a few are exceptions but 90% is new for sure to me.

A whole stack of PS2 and PS3 games. Unseen slightly is the Dreamcast, PS1 and PC games. Stacks of Paperbacks. Hardbacks. Stack of movies and TV series.

Two things are certain. One, I am not buying anything for awhile. Two, I may have found my new years resolution. Cut a large swath into this mess.

Until next time, fly high and fly well.

Abandoned

Ok,

So I decided to abandon my little motivation for one good reason: maintaining something like this is a pain in the ass because I hate dealing with.

Ok two reasons.

It's purpose: To get me motivated again is already working. Currently at 4801. No near 30k but it did its job.

Time to shave away the massive stubble and look human again. The writing will still continue nonetheless.

Until next time, fly high and fly well.

Five o'clock shadow

I haven't been working on my latest novel the past couple days. It is not because I was lazy or anything but some cold like symptoms had made me feel like shit. I'm not 100% yet but thanks to a bunch of sleep and Nyquil I think I am doing better.

As for the book the word count stands at 2450. That needs to change quick. So I came up with an idea. Since I'm sporting a mean five o clock right now how about I continue to let it grow. Until I hit 30k.

It will hurt like a bitch to shave off (the electric is not kind to me) and I'll have to make an excuse or two but I think it will be a nice motivator. We shall see.

Until next time, fly high and fly well.

New work

So it is almost 2am and I need to go to bed for work at 9am but I thought I would write a blog entry first to update the world first.

Work still sucks. That is all on that.

As to other things, I am starting my second novel. Titled "Shattered Glass" it's book synopsis would go something like this:

"David Essex is riding high. As bestselling novelist Janus Stone, he has made millions off the sick and the macabre. But time is running out. David hasn't written in months and he is starting to fear his gift is gone. However, a chance encounter with the sultry Mara may the key to his creativity, or his very destruction. For Mara is not just any girl and she will cause David to reexamine who he is and how far he is willing to go..."

Sounds good? Yeah I would buy it too.

1100 words in, many to go. May the gods be on my side once again.

Until next time, fly high and fly well.

Being Thankful

Thanksgiving has come and gone and black Friday is in full swing already. I have to be up in about 2 hours to work 8 hours at Macy's. I had to stop and think (can't sleep anyway) about what I have to be thankful about despite my hardships. So here we go in no particular order.

- I'm thankful I'm not dead. A month ago that could of been a different story.

- I'm thankful I have a roof over my head.

- I'm thankful I finally finished a novel. When it came to putting up or shutting up, I finally did the former.

- I'm thankful for decent health.

- I'm thankful for a family that puts up with me despite all my bullshit.

- I'm thankful for my friends Kenobi, Hendrix, and DarkSailorMoon. I need you guys more than you will ever know.

- I'm thankful for Delilah. In a world of darkness, she has been a light.

-I'm thankful that I'm still here. Not much more to say.

Happy shopping today, make sure to bring the flak jackets.

Until next time, fly high and fly well.

Contentment

I remember that I was talking to Kenobi about a month or two ago, and he said something along the lines of, "If I die now give or take, I would be content."

My near death experience and recent feelings of blah made reexamine that statement.

He would be content.

The problem is I wouldn't.

Not.

Even.

Close.

I have been given a second chance. Thing is, it made me think about that, contentment and far away I am from it. I look to people around me and see plenty are content with what they have and happy for it. I'm not.

I both envy it and glad I don't have it right now.

The thing is I have something to strive towards, to be better. It can't rain all the time, and this bad misfortune small or large that has befallen me in my days on earth cannot stay. Greener days will come, and I will be content. The difference being of course, that I will have earned it, from appreciation of the struggle.

Until next time, fly high and fly well.

Journey through Hell: Night of the Living Dead (1968)

I jumped ahead in the disc order for Halloween weekend as my friends wanted to watch the granddaddy of all zombie flicks.

Two siblings are going to a cemetery to put flowers on their mother's grave. Unknown to them, space radiation has caused corpses to become reanimated and attack new victims. When her brother is killed, a young woman runs for her life. She finds refuge in a house with other survivors who attempt to survive against...the living dead.

This movie really is as good as they say it to be. Though the zombies are slow, they are not to be taken lightly. Unlike their faster counterparts, they have more street smarts and think in primitive but intelligent ways.

The acting is halfway decent, especially by Duane Jones who plays the hero Ben.

The ending is stark and tragic and not a happy one. But the film is one to be seen.

Rating: Highly Recommended

Until next time, fly high and fly well.
