 Chapter 5 of Arcana: The Shuffled Fate--The Emperor, Everyone's Favorite Dad is now available on Amazon.   I will be penning Old Master in a New World and Rose-Colored Hope as I complete the series.   It is my utmost hope that I receive the assistance that I have been looking for when it comes to webcasting since my roommate and I have no other particular places to go or be so hopefully, we will be setting up the studio to record webcasts (I only have a few back up reviews and parodies and those are dwindling).    I finally saw Forbidden Planet.    It had a lot of the technology I've seen in sci-fi movies of its ilk, but it often tickles me how optimistic 1960s science fiction was.    Too bad we haven't colonized other worlds, let alone figured out lightspeed (we'd have to understand Dyson spheres, good luck figuring all of THAT out).        Gideon was an enjoyable character to flesh out.   Now I'm goi...

 Currently in my seven-part tale, I have completed  1.   What a Fool Believes  2.  Black Coat, Top Hat    My current tale in the saga is 'Fierce, Fearless, Female', then 'Gilded Crown',  'Everyone's Favorite Dad', 'Old Master in a New World' and then 'Rose Colored Hope' that brings our entire group back together to put an end to our old rival, The Devil, Beltharian Noir.   Beltharian takes upon a lot of aspects that create a compelling villain.  He is a true masochist, Machiavellian, malignant narcissist that wants nothing more than to create pain, misery, strife and suffering.    What's interesting about him is he is an actual vampire that has one known weakness and that is permission.    He seems to be indestructible, but he never bargained on facing the entire Arcana at once.  So far, I am really enjoying fleshing out these characters since they are all so unique.   Each has their own relat...

 I recently finished 'BytheWay, Rick'.   The only reason it isn't here on Blogger is because of the profanity (it wasn't anything like my Sopranos fics) but Blogger is very persnickety when it comes to vulgarity.   Nonetheless, it is now available on Kindle and can enjoyed by everyone.    My next big projects are 'Death Takes a Holiday', which is a sort of 'Freaky Friday' swap comedy between the Grim Reaper and a punk who accidentally summons him.    The next story is called 'TLDR' which concerns a woman who has worked tirelessly on becoming a cinematographer only to have her work mocked and panned constantly until she writes a totally different script that makes the naysayers take her seriously.  It's also a love story.  Then, there's Elegant Lies, which will be an elaborate madcap dramedy.   I have an idea for a memoir (I've written so many memoirs already) when I am a little older entitled 'Right Where I'm Meant to Be',...

 I made a massive mistake recently with Borderless Visits.   I went into it thinking it was 'all expenses paid' when it clearly isn't.   This is the 'side quest' side of Japan.   You're already visiting and you can visit with a family or individual close to where you are to see local sites only the natives know.   I was incredibly sad when I had to tell my main family that I couldn't come but I was prompt and honest.  Maybe when I visit Japan in the future I will keep Nozomi (Borderless) in my mind because it seems like a dream come true for a Japanophile like myself.     Also, I am hoping for a pick me up through McDonalds since they collaborated Godzilla and Hello Kitty (its a dream come true for me even if it sounds ludicrous but as a collector I can't resist).   My roommate said he 'might' because money is an object so...who knows ?    Also, I am waiting for my trust money to come my way and being p...

  Journal entry from 7-7-16                 Vibration & Frequency in All Living Matter                 I felt the life force of a tree’s sap heading to its roots.    It was more than that though, I felt a vibration, completely alive and we shared an understanding and respect.     I knew I was a part of that Cypress, and it was a part of me.     Some people don’t ‘see’ this.     They’re far too separate, cut off by devices.      It only numbs and limits them.    People need to awaken again and reconnect.     I feel the same when it comes to violence.     We should have forums, like the Greeks and Romans did.      Everyone will have their own opinion on an issue, and the community can solve it.  ...
