I was just looking around and couldn't find a book group here. Whats up with that? I read a good deal of books and thats what has been using up most of my time lately. 

I just finished the Hunger games books and read to kill a mocking bird this week also. Lets see what else. The dragon tattoo girl books were good. I have read a few Woodhouse books (I just love Bertie).

Anyhow thats all I've been up to.

I know... boring. lol

I was told that he died for my sins.
And then by way of sincere reply I said "It could of been my only hope that he would of lived in spite of them".

The path that I am on today is the hardest road that I have journeyed

upon throughout my entire life. It is the path of learning. It is the

path of discovering the truth about the world around me and the essence

of my own being. It is a path that is made clearer by the people around

me by showing me new ideas and bringing forth different ways to look at

the things around me. It is a path that would be unbearable without the

I would like to share with you a story about making a difference. It is a true story that happened a long time ago in a place that means a lot to me.

After conquering Trinidad he had set his sights on San Juan and landed his well trained troops on the beach at Cangrejos near the capital.

Okay so I got a speeding ticket. No big deal right? Well then you don't know me very well. I have to make it a big deal. Because that's what I like to do. Make things a big deal, and I wasn't disappointed with this.

So I have my ticket in hand and call the court. I find out the fine is $170 dollars. "Well I wasn't speeding" I say, "I would like to fight the ticket".

"Sure" says the clerk "just show up at the courthouse on the date printed on the back of the ticket".

Fine. So I… Continue

This is the first story I have ever wrote ( and it shows). It was never meant to have an ending but was just a weekly installment to a writing challenge. Almost all the character and plot grew from that challenge. It was meant as a fairy tail noir lol and went together with my icon photo.

Are you afraid to die?
Or are you just afraid to live?
Or could it be like most people, that both are somewhat true.

2. "Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it."
3. "Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things."

Douglas Adams

The only one wasting time is the one
who runs around and around the mountain,
telling everyone that his or her path is wrong.
