 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.  ...

Chapter 6—My Friends’ll Never Believe Me Epilogue     Chapter 1—Cyril’s Rogue Logger Bot                 It was an unusually calm day in the Evergreen Forest.    Bert was throwing a party for his friends, namely Cedric.    Sofia Tutu was there, arm in arm with him.     Had it not been for Bert acting as Cedric’s wingman, Sofia might’ve never known that Cedric was even alive.                     Bert had seen his shy aardvark friend blossom, becoming a better man than his father could ever have imagined.   He was an advocate for the forest and the creatures that li...

  I have cancelled my trip once last year looking for a career and currently I have had 2 job offers thus far.  Many of the so-called 'offers' I have had have ghosted me or texted me in return saying they found other candidates.   I am used to this sort of rejection and I continue plodding along, feeling my fortune will improve soon.   I had a call Monday and unfortunately, the job I applied for is commission based and also too lengthy of a drive to even consider especially considering the fact that my car needs maintenance.    Granted, I feel it can be driven around Greencastle with no trouble as soon as my tires are inflated, but I haven't driven in my beautiful Azul for months now.         My latest offer had me being interviewed twice  which I thought was a good sign.  I felt confident about the first interview and a little shaky on the second.    I also awkwardly sensed I was talking far too much....
