This is just one of my many "sketches" in Photoshop I'm working on for my story. . .
I get pics from various sources; for example: Pointy Ear
Prespective of TNA
I'm the kind of individual who trys to plan everything out, and be prepared for things ahead of time; which doesn't always seem to work for me. We're moving to another apartment complex across town. Having come from a much smaller town, (Corpus Christi, 3 years), this venture will seem like another Grand Adventure; eventhough it's just "across town,"(here in Dallas).
Everything's packed up, with one week to go. So, I guess it's pertty much time for the computer and its addiction to be shut down. I'll check my emails, surf and all but I'll hold off here, till the later part of next week... an eternity it may seem, til then.
Some Changes: A new apartment complex, (a townhouse with a study, and a room for the brother-and-law, instead of the livingroom futon), new cable company, phone & Internet provider, Electric bill to pay now, three tenis courts, 6 swimming pools, a new route to work. Hopefully, come August, I'll be going back to college; looking into being a Certified Medication Aid, then seeking a new job closer to home. - Remember the changes I infered? Well these are some of them.
I really get a kick out fooling around in photoshop, and scribbling down the ideas that the pictures spur for my story. However, I can't quiet get anywhere in my writing; so maybe this break, and the new changes will help towards developing new ideas. Please, feel free to leave any comments you wish in reguards to my Story.
This is probably one of the rare places you'll ever find where an author request such an open form on their work - take advantage of it.

Many people come into our lives; only after we have seemingly moved on to other aspects of our maturing self can we, through reflection, devise and reason them being there. The Elodreen, (half elf- half deer) were such for me. A collage of various influences who despenced Truth, enlightening me at various points along my journey in life.
I wish I could thank each and everyone of them for their role. Sadly most I've forgotten their names, or their influence, but I know deep in who I am the other ripples caused things to grow and the changes overall have been positive ones.
Like the manger of the fast food resturant who doggedly drove us to better sales, prepared me to face the drill sargent back in basic, who laid the groundwork for the regimental dorm director at the state school; all who encournged me to be better than who I was the day before - a better example to my daughter. Now, I'm learning how to be a grandfather to another generation. My precious little Savannah has so many lessons to learn, it's going to be another exciting phase of life to witness; as the wheel turns...
THX 1138
THX-1138 is an awesome film flick; it obviously influnced many other films: Star Wars, (of course), Logan's Run, The Matrix - for sure, and a host of others. I remember seeing this as a kid and not knowing what the hell it was about. I watched it again yesterday and was blown away by how many movies since must have been influnced by it. Lucus had such insights.
THX-1138... What's your social security number? Wal-Mart: Remember: Work hard. Increase Production, and Be Happy - We will not harm you. We are here to help.

Trying to write TNA
THE NEPHILIM AGE click picture to enlarge
As a child I use to daydream about turning those wooden spindals. Letting my mind's eye wander, back to those far away times, of heroic events, mentioned on those weather worn scrolls, encased in a box of ancient bark. Oh! I remember how the Elders cherished that book, they were so guarded of its secrets.
Yet, when I became of age, and was I allowed to read from it, my whole outlook on life began to change. For I soaked up every letter and verse, til the day swept over me like a cliff drop - when I came to realize its true meaning. A sudden understanding of all the lies that had been layered over my life. A wave of disillusionment and frustration was my only reward; a heady replacement, for the joy I once experienced in the presence of the book as a child.
In time, I left it all behind to simply find meaning in my own life. Then one quiet day the words of the book came to me; however, the meaning was far richer and deeper than the fallen lies. I had found myself as a man, whole and content - eager to share my experience, and own truths. Yet, a silence fell over me.
Here I am trying to retell the story of that change in my life, but am finding it such a struggle to make it just as meaningful for others. For others have experienced far different paths, than my own. Neverthelss, it is my path that I wish to share; not for conversions sake. When will the end ever come; the story is too long, the words so difficult to find, and the listeners scare. So, I write the tale for myself - that I don't forget the coast my of my present journey.
Namaste. . .
At The MOVIES
WOW! We just got back from seeing Star Wars III. Finally, a movie that lived up to all the hype. I enjoyed the musical score, and how Lucus tied all the lose ends up in preparation for Episode IV: "Star Wars" A New Hope. I had heard so much bad press about this film that I only looked for the worse and was happily surprised.
Now; that that's over - I'm really looking foreward to some other films as well: Fantastic Four,Batman,Narnia, and of course Harry Potter and his force!
Movies are a great escape from the mundane world's pressures and work-a-day stresses, why not enjoy them for what they are. In time these fades fade as well; take your family or a friend, for that's where the real excitement is - is sharing the popcorn, drinks, and juju beans.
