Thoughts of mortality

Sorry in advance for anyone creeped out by this entry.   Lately I've been thinking a lot about dying. Not wanting to die, but just dying in general. I guess more to the point, it's been consuming all of my thoughts and even my dreams at night. I just get the feeling that death might be right around the corner for me, and I can't shake it. Last night I woke up in a cold sweat from a dream that I was being murdered, and a couple of nights before, I actually woke up kneeling at my bedside, and I

Father Pfleger tells it like it is.

After telling the truth about White Entitlement and Hillary Clinton, Father Pfleger puts a FOX News reporter in his place. I swear to God, this guy is my frigging hero.     http://youtube.com/watch?v=F0wvQMqSzTM

If you thought my voice was sexy before...

Just kidding about the title. Actually, Dan is quite possibly the first person to say something positive about my voice. More often, I get made fun of for it, not least because I have a greater degree of control over it. I can pitch it high falsetto, properly, so even that can be easily heard, or I can pitch it low so that it carries through doors and walls. Usually I mumble, which makes those two tricks all the more startling the first time someone hears them. This last week I've been sick, and

Saying Goodbye to a Friend

Today, I took my friend, Lori, to the bus stop. I have known her for over six years now, and she has decided to move to California. She had been in a relationship with my cousin for a while. Anyway, it was not going well and she decided it was time to pack her bags and move for good. Personally, I don't hold it against her, though some might think I would. She is doing what she had to do for herself. It seems that she has had enough of being miserable. In her situations, I'm sure I would have do

Maid of Honor, ebay, hell.

I really kind of regret not going away to college, or at the very least moving out of this house.   I graduated from High School this month. I graduated with honors. My report card came in the mail today. My parents have been bitching at me all night about it. Damn! I graduated with honors! Yes, my grades were not as good as they have been, but I had honors! Isn't that good enough for them? No! Nothing is ever good enough for them! Whatever...   I need to start saving lots of money, because

I have the same birthday as Lily... I finally like Kathleen. Almost done!   I'd finish now, but I'm asleep already... Tomorrow.   Hugs, Viv   PS... Someone do me a favor and tell the sunshine to chill a little... over 100 degrees for too many days than I can count now. :wacko:   PS2...

4 Meat free days...well, almost. Plus, Nafta 4

Ok, so it's been 4 nearly meat free days for me I can't say that I haven't indulged a little, since I had 3 ounces of shrimp with my dinner last night, but so far I'm doing pretty good My diet has mainly consisted of leafy greens, colorful fruits and berries, whole grain carbs and at least a gallon of water a day. I was craving seafood last night, so I had my stepmom saut

To a Child Not Yet Born

I have just finished reading one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life. It was pristinely crystalline. Perfect. I'm still in shock that it was able to make me not stop reading it all the way through. That hasn't happened to me in years.   A Density of Souls, by Christopher Rice   It was just... amazing. I saw a lot of things coming, as usual, but it was so detailed, so complex, so absolutely and indescribably perfect!   Stephen is perfectly written. All of the char

Forever...

Have you ever had a dream you would give anything for, to never end? A dream that's so powerful you remember it for days, weeks, one that bothers you so much all you can do is think about it non stop. :wacko:   What about a song, that has so much meaning, a lot of people wouldn't understand, but to you it's like a light bulb just lit up! A song that you must have listened to for the past 24 hours straight, and no matter how much you listen to it you just can't seem to get sick of it, because

Reflections of Dark Earth: The Prophecy

I have just posted the final chapter of Dark Earth: The Prophecy. You can find it here. I also realize how some readers only like to read complete novels, and here it is from the beginning. For those who have not read it, I have a brief discussion of major characters and my motivations as an author.   Imagine a world where the sun never shines and there is a constant threat of death. Dark Earth: The Prophecy is my first completed novel, and I loved exploring this world and bringing it to life

Grand Island, NE

Way back when the pioneers were slogging their way into the Platte River valley from Kansas, they found a large island in the river, hence the name. Back then, it was a great big island, twenty-three miles long. What's that, a day on a horse? The US Army determined the up stream end of the island would be the perfect location for a fort. Of course, the Platte River was, at the time, known for being "a mile wide and an inch deep," but there was an island in the middle of it and an island is alway

Coming out again

This weekend sucked in comparison to the last. While the company was good,the task was less then desirable.   I spent the weekend - Saturday really - helping my cousin move most of his downstairs into a storage unit in preparation for his move into a new house next month. It was going fine, he came up with the ever so brilliant idea of "Load an object... drink a beer" that worked fine for the first load, but quickly deteriorated from there. needless to say we only got about 5 or so trips to th

Fighting ignorance and educating myself

Finally, after two long months of making my initial request, I can finally say that my work is mine again. I'm not going to mention a domain, but what I will do is caution other authors to be careful where they ask to have their work hosted. Not all site owners will be as willing to take your stories down, and the process could take several weeks. It hasn't been fun, and unfortunately, this morning I had to be very assertive about what I wanted. And as everyone here knows, I hate being assertive

Dark Earth: The Prophecy and Second Chances

I just finished the final chapter of Dark Earth: The Prophecy. I am quite happy about that. I have been working on it since October, and it has taken longer than I wanted it to. However, I think the extra time has allowed me to grow as an author, and that is certainly a good thing. Now I am back to Second Chances. It has been a while since I posted a chapter. My plan is to get several chapters ahead and start posting it again. The important thing is that I know where the story is going. As some

Mmm, Jello

So I went out last night to a house party with my friend Paul. One important fact that I have learned over the years; my favorite alcoholic drink is, by far, the jello shot. Can you think of a more perfect drink? It's not even a drink, it's a snack. That means you can have a drink at the same time. You can't taste the alcohol, only the jello-ey goodness. It's just so convenient, so fun.   I will admit that usually I don't exactly have a lot of fun at parties. I'm always either totally

If No One Notices

...this blog entry I'll just get bored and post a new one. However, I very much hope that someone notices my Anthology entry. It's the first time I've actually finished one AND decided to turn it in, quite an accomplishment let me tell you   In other news, I had an all around productive day writingwise. I bashed a chapter of the BMAD sequel and also my entry for the "Anniversaries" anthology (why not do two in a row right?)   On that score though, and I'll be very busy the next few days,
