Birthday!

So - I started trying to put some of this in today's News Blog, but it got to be too much info, so splitting off the more personal aspect which involves my birthday this past Saturday.   As I said there, birthdays are definitely a time for introspection. I'm now 48 - four full turns on the chinese zodiac (or 4/5ths of one if you count the elemental aspect too).   This past year has caused an inordinate amount of introspection - with so many changes, many at times overwhelming. I long for a

University of Delaware students rampage for "I'm Schmacked"

University of Delaware students rampage for "I'm Schmacked"   Well, it could have been worse. It could have been like Penn State, who threw a hissy tantrum riot because Joe Paterno was fired for allowing Jerry Sandusky to live outside of prison walls for another 13 years and molest even more boys. Check out the party footage here:     It's funny to watch this, considering that I've walked over that pedestrian bridge umpteen times. I also think it's hilarious because University of

Let this party start

I feel very adamant about my situation. Yes, I'm a struggling alcoholic, and yes I feel guilty, but this I do know; I'm getting stronger each and every day. I have a support system, a loving partner that yells at me when I fail, but in a good way. She lets me know that I promised not to do so, that it makes her sad when I don't hold onto my promises. But it's getting easier to say no to the bottle, I assure you of this. I feel stronger knowing that while I share my struggle, I become stronger. I

How we treat dogs

The other week I posted a pic of a dog, clipped to make it seem like it was wearing a certain type of garment.   Someone posted in reply that it was "the cruelest hoax ever perpetrated on a dog".   Well, it wasn't a hoax - it was real.   And it wasn't cruel. Looking at the pic it's clear the "trim" was professionally done - just like this poodle     There's no evidence that the dog whose pic I posted was caused any discomfort, let alone pain. And in time the dog's hair would grow back

Will wait for Anthology to settle before launching new story

Okay, I will wait, because I want to separate the new story I am working on from anthology authors/readers, giving both breathing room.   This is the Modern Eastern Fantasy/Sci-Fi novel, which incorporates myths and legends of Asia, exploring Taoism, Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism, Tengriism, Zoroastrianism, and several other Asian religious/philosophical ideologies with a modern scientific twist.   Within a week or two, I will officially ask for Betas and an Editor. If you guys want to work wi

eBook Review: Second Hand by Cullinan and Sexton

Second Hand by Heidi Cullinan My rating: 4 of 5 stars   Okay, I picked up Second Hand simply because I love this series from Tucker Springs. Of course I’d read several of the later books so I know the pairing would work out, but I enjoyed the story nonetheless. It was nice to get the backstory I’d missed since I started off with Dirty Laundry, book 3 in the Tucker Springs world.   I’m a big fan of Heidi Cullinan and Marie Sexton. I like both of their work singly, and they mesh together quit

Going from Man of Science to Man of Art

It's kind of weird really. I don't know how/why the transition happened, but to me it's like ancient history, because it's so fussy at this point. I recently dig up a story I wrote for an adventure game project (never completed, btw), and it was written in programming language style syntax.... Lots of conditionals and definition declarations. Wow, Ashi was a nerd!!! I mean a full-fledge nerd, not like the half-nerd I am now....   And then I found this story, which is probably the first st

Random Stream of Consciousness

People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles. This is the first thing I hear when I come back to the city.   And that was how Brett Easton Ellis started his debut novel, Less Than Zero. Bumblebee's recent status update sort of reminds me how a fussy past sometimes can come back at the most inconvenient time. Some of you guys know I am a photographer, so I have a huge amount of photographs in my hard drive, many photos go way back to a time I don't want to remember. And today, whi

It Is Necessary To See Death

It is necessary to see death.   It is necessary to see death, stark naked, lurid and wild, Death as it pisses in the dark alleyways drunk and ecstatic on the jumps of drugs that are hard to name and harder to pronounce, it is still necessary to see death face to face. In a breach of society sanctioned lucidity hardwired in our brain, It is still very necessary to see death, To see the violent vandalism of civilization, Of ashes and nuclear death of atoms and atom bombs, Billions of flashligh

One Last Background detail: Leadership

Alright, last background detail and a note for Asamav   Note: In my novel, when he does come into the picture, I split off two separate concepts about the monkey King. In "Journey to the West", it is mentioned that he attained an immortal body due to his consumption of immortal fruits, immortal pills, and other things in heaven. I took that idea and thought about its implications to ascension in both the Buddhist concept and how I want the concept to work in my novel. The monkey king would ne

eBook Review: Sweet Young Thang by Anne Tenino

Sweet Young Thang by Anne Tenino My rating: 3 of 5 stars   Things go wrong ... again, and again. Beware, this review has a whole bunch of spoilers. Overall, I liked the story but felt that it was rather mediocre in my reading experience. That has nothing to do with the drama in the book, but more of my own perceptions.         If you like college fiction, or stories with fireman paramedics, romance and a lot of drama... this story could be for you. I might be a bit picky about preferrin

Background: Demons and Monsters; Gods and beyond

Another Teaser   If I am going to write with eastern mythology, folklore, traditions, philosophies, and religions in mind; I can't ignore the subject of strange beings.   Now, I can write them all off as Aliens, which would work for my scientific premise, but I think that's a blatant act of bad writing and imagination nowadays. Sure a few could have been alien astronauts, but it does not do the ancient stories justice.   In my novel, some monsters and demons are results of ancient Taoist

Background: Five elements

Another Background blog entry, I am such a big tease   This is going to be novel, a real full length one. If it is something that really gets going, who knows.   The Five Elements:   In Asian mysticism, there are several well known elemental concepts that Eastern beliefs based their entire religious and philosophical principles on. There are differences between cultures and views on what elements belong in the cycle. For instance, Japanese tradition have the "Wind" and "Void" elements in
