Emma Johnson, who blogs over at wealthysinglemommy.com, wrote a post recently saying that the institution of marriage was dead and instead of a marriage people should be embarking on 10 year contracts with a pre-nup and a well defined goal. One of the comments she posts to someone who agrees with her was, “Right? Who could argue with me?” I can argue with you, and I will by saying your entire premise is flawed. You say that marriage is dead [Click Comments To Continue]
While Abandon is all about setting the character relationships, attitudes, and history, Savior is all about fighting zombies. (Seriously, I’m only 20K in and I’ve already got three fights – this book is going to be action packed.) One of the things that I’ve been having a little bit of trouble with is the whole, getting the weapons right thing. You know, what kind of guns do they have? In Abandon I just made a mention that they had weaponry [Click Comments To Continue]
My entire life I’ve been a writer, and last year that all culminated in me publishing Abandon. Unfortunately, after writing Abandon I found myself burnt out on writing, on the story, and everything to do with my blog – which is why I took such a large hiatus. During this time, I found myself beginning to hate the story and I often spent time opening the document to look at it, and thinking how much it sucked. (In fact, as many of my friends [Click Comments To Continue]
As I write this, I’m laying in bed where I have been since 5PM. I’ve been in bed because I need to rest my leg because I pulled or tweaked a muscle in my leg that is making it impossible to walk. Of course, me being me, I tried to power through it Sunday afternoon at the bar, and all of Monday during the day. This of course, only made it worse so now I’m annoyed that I didn’t make it to the gym and that because I didn’t make it to the gym – [Click Comments To Continue]
Many people suffer from the fear of finding oneself alone, and so they don’t find themselves at all.” ― Rollo May, Man’s Search For Himself Many moons ago, when I was just a youth in college I was getting drunk with some friends. We had started a funny conversation about our greatest flaws, and I had been mostly silent trying to think of something witty and funny to say. When it came to my turn, out of my mouth popped something neither [Click Comments To Continue]
So as you guys know, I have been doing Title Boxing as a way to get in shape. When I signed up in January I got this little kit that included my gloves and wraps and everything I would need for the adventure. The gloves weren’t cheap – but they weren’t top of the line gloves. At the time it was fine because my punch was pretty weak, but as time goes on I’ve started to get more of a punch and the gloves I had were starting to cause me pain in [Click Comments To Continue]
There are a lot of universal truths in life. You know, the fact that it’s easier to get a job when you have a job, the toast will always land butter side down, and apparently, guys are all about looks. Let me explain. In the past couple months I’ve been working out. You can read about why I’ve been working out over here but it’s definitely not to get the attention of guys. I have dropped around 41lbs, and definitely slimmed down, although [Click Comments To Continue]
Before I get into what happened with me and A.H.Helmi (sorry for the name change – he’s constantly making me write not his real name in here), let me explain a little about me. I play video games (my current obsession, Sim City 5), I love music, I write. I design websites, I love to drive fast, and I like to spend money. I’m an immediate gratification kind of person, but I try not to rely on others to provide me that gratification. I have [Click Comments To Continue]
As many of you know, at least those of you of on facebook, I have been on a recent kick (ha!) to lose weight. I have been eating healthy, and I joined my local Title Boxing club and try to go three times a week (at least). What many of you don’t know was the motivation behind it. It all started around my birthday, I found myself having these horrible night sweats. At first, I just thought it was because I was constantly saying at Amr’s house, [Click Comments To Continue]
A while ago Amr and I got into a heated discussion about the state of politics today. I said something akin to the fact that I have become apathetic towards the political process because the rest of the United States is. I proclaimed how the elected officials were supposed to be OUR representatives, and if one person wanted change, and got enough people on their side, it should be able to cause change – but that people were so stupid being lead [Click Comments To Continue]
