So I finished Phillip Pullman's masterpiece, His Dark Materials, last week and the final words are still ringing in my head. The culmination of the beautiful and defiant story is that the Kingdom of Heaven is over and is not what mankind needs. It is instead our responsibility to construct the Republic of Heaven here on Earth. The goal of which ( Read more... )

I'm currently working on a new short story that I'll be posting a clip from next week. Stay tuned ( Read more... )

Ah St. Paddy's, a great time to be a quarter Irish! I had a great night even considering I spent it with the same five friends I do everything with here. I started the day by calling off from work, which was immensely satisfying. Then after running around to buy party supplies and wait for the guests to arrive we got to having some fun! We ( Read more... )

Okay so I was waiting until things were final before I posted about this. My best friend, Griff, is a brilliant man. He's a tallented graphics artist, an even better photo manipulator, and he knows his way around a computer even better than I do. He's intelligent and dilligent, having worked hard at even the crappiest of jobs. Due to his family ( Read more... )

So I went to the midnight showing of Frank Miller's 300 last night. I expected a movie about the life and creation of the worlds best soldiers. I expected a story about overcoming insurmountable odds and keeping one's integrity in the face of certain death. I did get those things to a certain extent, but what that movie was really about was PURE ( Read more... )

So yeah, Valentine's Day came and went. The saddest thing about that is that all day on Valentine's day the only human voice I heard was that of my manager at work. My friends all have thier own significant others to spend the day with, while I found myself sitting at home trying to convince myself that I am not interested in dating anyone now ( Read more... )

Yesterday I finally got my wish. I got to finally see Pan's Labyrinth on the big screen at a local theater. This movie completely blew me away. I expected a lot from it and I went in wondering if I might have overhyped it. But the movie lived up to my expectations. There are a lot of movies coming out recently in which you can see horrible and ( Read more... )

Wow, it took a really long time and I almost depleted my savings, but I am finally working. Actually I have two jobs now. One is a full time job. I have already been accepted to begin training at Ebay, however I am seeing a Law Firm on Monday who might be interested in hiring me, in which case I'll turn Ebay down and work for them. I'm also ( Read more... )

I'm feeling pretty terrible right now for what I've done in the last couple of days. Mostly involving that last post. Though I still stand by my ideas in that post, the truth is it was meant as an attack on a certain person. And the attack was not well founded. I took some small parts of her lifestyle and blew them out of proportion in my anger ( Read more... )

Okay there's something I need to get off my chest right now. I am sick of hearing certain people complain about their lives and their lack thereof when they aren't doing anything to fix it. If you want to live a passive lifestyle then fine. But if so you have lost the right to complain that you are pathetic and haven't done anything. I can't ( Read more... )
