    Weekly Wrap Up (Jan. 5 - Jan. 11)

    By wildone

    First a disclaimer, I'm tired and none of me editors are around to read the wrap up for me   I hate to say but the first couple of weeks have been terrible for our US friends and neighbours it seems. With LA burning down and the east and southeast getting blasted by ice and snow, I have to say I hope that all of them are okay  I'm sure there is other places too that are having strange and wakey weather too, like Friday we had an actual thunderstorm (rain) and a blizzard Saturday night.

From: The Truth About Thorium and Nuclear Power

Source: The Truth About Thorium and Nuclear Power   I've added some thoughts and comments to the thread already, but I wanted to share some more. I also wanted to post a copy of the letter I sent to Senator Harry Reid. In 2008, he co-sponsored a bill with Senator Orrin Hatch regarding thorium energy. Because the Senators from my state are fiercely conservative and because Senator Reid co-sponsored this bill, I decided to contact him instead of my own Senators. I mentioned several other forms o

Atlas Shrugged... to a full theater

Saturday I saw something that I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would see: Atlas Shrugged on the big screen- in a full theater. It was amazing. They did a very good job with it. Placing it in the near future amid soaring energy prices, a collapsing economy and clueless politicians colluding to make their friends rich and to punish anyone else made it... chilling.   Guess what? The Gulf is open for deep water drilling again. Guess who is first in line to do the drilling? An American c

Loss of Innocence

I don't know, some people might find me condescending, argumentative, and probably a little strange for my views. I will defend and oppose points for both liberal and conservative as I see the merits.   I just retook the Left-Right Compass again, but this time I am actually going more social conservative (Don't worry, I won't join Phelps just yet ). I am still a conservative, but I am less inclined to support what might be considered libertarian principles now as I am getting older and probab

Basics of Internet Security 101: Facebook freaks

OK, Austin Butler is a freak! And I don't mean that teen star of various teen films. I mean the guy who asked all the people from GA to become his friends over Facebook.   Well, I spent all day asking people who this guy is. Apparently, if I used wiki or google first, I'd learn about the true Austin Butler. So I denied his request and reported his profile as fake. What is disappointing and why I'm writing this blog is how many people just mindlessly clicked to accept this freak's request. And

ADELE is pretty damn awesome

If you have not heard this singer, I reccomend you look her up. Her songs remind me a bit of Disco, especially in " ," and I mean that as a compliment. There's songs that will make me want to dance. This song just makes me dance, in the way that I first learned, where I didn't give a flying f**k who was watching or who laughed, it was me and the music and the fire and shadows of everyone else.  Since I've a tendency to recount dreams here, I'll do so again. I was being questioned, demanded an

Review of the Patrick Stump show in LA at Hotel Cafe in March 13th

You Don’t Even Need a Ticket, Just Clap   It’s been said that great things come in small packages, and the moment I walked into Hotel Café in Los Angeles, I knew that truer words haven’t been spoken. The intimate venue and stage only serves to showcase just how much that applies to the man standing in the center of it. It will never stop being surprising how such a big sound and a contagious energy can come from someone so small.   When you first see Patrick Stump, a few things run throu

A Little Project...

Technology is always changing, sometimes for the better, sometimes just to drive us all crazy.   Thankfully there are people out there who know how to work technology to the benefit of all, and today I'm going to explain what I'm scheming, I mean working on.   Thanks to a friend of mine and really good author, I'm going to try my hand at making eBooks using a story of his and see what he thinks (he's really picky with the way he wants things). I'm going to be using two ways to do it and writ

What A Wonderful World

I had a good weekend. I didn't go crazy and rage- I just had a couple of drinks with my friend Seth at this nice little bar on Philly Street. Sang some karoke and all that fun stuff. The next night I went out to Wolfie's and danced. Friday night I got to see the Plain White T's, and that was fun.   But the best part about this weekend was the sense of utter contentment I had. I've made some choices that have left me satisified about where my life is headed, and I just feel good.

driver 8 take a break we've been on this trip too long

The walls are built up, stone by stone, the fields divided one by one. And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We've been on this shift too long" And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away" I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm. The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged. Bells are ringing through the town again, Children look up, all they

Some updates

Finally uploaded the first part of my prequel: Genesis: The Truth 2-4 of 4   Next will be Genesis: The Consequences a 9-part mini-series.   Finally, I will finish with Genesis: Judgment a 25-part mini-series.   On a side note, I am starting to read the Nightrunner series and I don't know, there's something attractive about the fantasy genre.   However, I am pressing to finish the edits of my own stories in the science fiction area as well. It is taking a lot longer to finish the edits th

PIEGATE

SIGH   One of my requests for Mother's Day was a corned beef pie. My daughter asked what was my favourite meal and that was it.   Now... my daughter has been eating this pie since she was old enough to have liquidised food, My grandmother made it, my mother made it and I make it.   Lori and Sam took control of the kitchen all day for the making of the pie. I questioned why they were putting mushrooms in but was ordred out of the kitchen.   At about 4ish (we were eating at 6) I went out t

Does It Ever Get Easier

There have been times in my life when I have felt lonely. I have thought that I would come to terms with it, that it would get easier. Today I think it's probably worse than ever.   I guess I am feeling sorry for myself. It happens sometimes; more as I'm getting older and more and more of my life passes by outside the window (That's not a physical window... just saying )   I was thinking on the train today... there's about as much chance of me getting to be prime minister as of me finding s

- tell me, and I'm yours. -

I can remember the exact moment I fell in love with you. It was about 3 of 4 seconds after we first met.   You looked at me then quickly looked down, as if out of shyness or nervousness. After about a second you somehow found the courage to look back at me and you had a smile on your face that I can't describe in words.   That was the exact moment I fell in love with you. You have me and we hadn't even spoken a word yet.   ...

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, regardless of your own needs. Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no.

Gym Crush, Spartacus, Health & Fitness, & a pat on the butt

Cool stats of mine...   Body Fat - 3.4%-3.8% Resting Heart Rate - 47 beats per minute Better than an athletic 18-25yo. Take that athletic twinks half my age !   It's been a while since I last updated, and unfortunately there's been little progress on the Gym Crush front. We've seen each other at the gym several times and have spoken casually, but no 'moving forward' (which was expected in the 'baby steps' method).   However, for the last month, I've been consistently doing the Men's

My past, about life and death

Within 12 days, I will celebrate an important anniversary. On the 19-April-06, I joined GA.   I wrote my first blog on 26-June-06. Many followed, telling the story of my life, my experiences, good or bad, showing how I learned to become stronger, more patient, and sometimes trying to bring to others the best advices I could from an adventurous life.   Five years later, many former members are gone and many new members arrived.   I'm like some journalists or writers who combine their best a

S.L. Lewis Many Thoughts and Updates

So, can I cry now?

Seriously, can I?   Okay, I bet you're all wondering why I'm not really active. I have my reasons. The post is a repost from my blog on Authors Haunt, and is kinda late coming here since I am in some SERIOUS amounts of pain and I'm waiting for the nice pain killers to kick in.     I'm happy that my stories are so loved but it's dampened by the fact that I'm dealing with some major physical problems, as described below, along with other physical aliments that I deal with daily, i.e. carpel

One of the most influential books in history

The Influence of Sea Power on History 1660-1783 by Mahan is certainly one of the most influential books of modern history.   The period of time that it covers- the Napoleonic War, American Revolution showcase the rise of British seapower and its limitations.   It has been read and studied by generations of officers at military academies and has influenced military men and politicians serving under numerous flags.   The doctrine of one huge battle to own the sea lanes won the first World W
