No title yet........

Darkness had almost become absolute, but again as every long invading darkness had before, it was loosing power fast, the lickens and moss's colos were returning, the fog was giving up its blackness and fading to grey. There was stirring.... only most of it was seeking shelter, the shelter of the all enveloping darkness, only now the abode was underground, and at the entrances of these undergrounds was heard the steps and sounds of the enhabitants. Many a lybranth the resting and hiding places of refuge from preditors of the day. The days had not became fully lit, but were still shrouded with the early seasonal grey of the fog and overcasts and gatherings of rain laden shapes. The coolness would soon make way for a much different setting, one of steam shrouded shapes cast in hues of purples and black. Were it not for his smal oil lamp, it would have still been unnavagable except for touch, and puttin out ones hant to feel their way was known to be hazardous and sometimes themeans of capture. But who or what were these blackish invisable denezions of darkness that laid in wait? Nobody had ever returned in recent memory to tel the tales of meetings with the dark ones. There was no way to know, no one to spread the warnings, only the storries of the ancients were guideposts of the underworld and its dangers. So yu see, we'll come back later and continue....

Who's blog do you follow?

I guess I'm not really interested in anyone reading these blogs, but instead use them as a relief valve for just being in a levelheaded frame of mind. One day someone will somehow come across this blog (blogs) and might find them refreashing, or in somehow simmilar to what they are going through. Theres no instruction meant in any of these, just my feelings and thoughts. Well a couple are for purely writing pleasure or mabe attempts at 'writing'. I'v often thought of writing a novel, and may yet attempt just that. It might be somewhat of a simple worded writing style, something that shows the content rather than trying to impress with dazaling wordage., after all I now have all the time one could want for little hobbies and endevors. It likely will be something of a fantasy-adventure type of story, akin to J RR Tolkien's works, or in that middle-ages scenario. Bits of altered states, magic, ancient peoples and ancient settings. Done in the America's and leaning towards the native American s of old.

FLIPIN"GATE

I am so tired of these lame news people trying to come up with some 'GATE' added to the content of their storries. Come on it's been over thirty years ago the Watergate episode happened. Has journalism sunk so low, or become so populated with sub-efficient wordsmiths that everything need be postfixed with 'GATE' ...? Come on, wheres the creativity? or is that only a memory from the Golden Days of news reporting. Any LOP can add 'gate' to the news item, so it might be worthwile to learn the context to use it, if you must. As for me....I likely skip every news item with Gate in it as something likely to be poorly written and expressed. Another thing as of late is Yahoo's news storries, or better put, 'FAIL' attempts to educate the masses with their usually always numbered expose' ie. 'ten things your mechanic wont tell you' or The seven best salads from fast food or Wallmarts 15 worst sellers.....you get the idea, all these 'OPINION' little tirades from wana'be editors who are barely sufficient to gather news. I'll tell you something...... I gave up TV some years ago, and I do NOT miss it one bit. It's been the pablum of America since the 40's and 50's, taking the place of actually living in the real world, now you can do it remotly without breaking a sweat, be an armchair king. Media in these modern times is poorly lacking, theres no protagonist/antagionist to the plot, it usually a he said, she said, disjointed blabber of whatever little gimick might capture 'itchy eyes', or the cliff-hanger wording to capture your interest, move your curser and click onto it. The times of one rising to their full potential are for the most part, long gone, that and the goverment wanting to regulate our lives and save us from ourselves, life in the USA has become a joke, not something our founding fathers had envisoned. Were quickly becoming the nation of lowered expectations, that is, especially if any effort is required like actually moving parts of your body and risking the unknown condition called 'SWEATING' for a living. Well I'm out'a here, got work to do, yes, I'm actually going to get cardio-vascular........imagine that...........mabe cardio-gate......

Sherlock Holmes

My all-time favorite author is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, responsable for all the Sherlock Tomes. I recently wached the latest two offerings, and found both worthwile and following in the Holmsian style. 2010 Sherlock Holmes was ....... a bit of a streach in that it seemed just a little outside of Sherlock Holmes behavior, at least in all previous writings or movies, never the less well done. Were I to put togather a cast of charictors for a new movie.........and I'v thought of it quite a bit recently over the last couple years, I believe I would cast the Holmes charictors with current actors, and mind you theres room for change, but ultimatly these are who and which charictor they would play. Sherlock Holmes would be played by Phil Colins, Dr. Watson, by Buono from U2 fame. As Irene Alder, of course my favorite actress, the part would be played by none other than Kristin Kreuk. For inspector, it's sort of a toss-up between George Cluney and Nicholas Cage, or even possably Jeff Goldblum. For Moriarty, hmmm, thats a tough one, mabe the likes of Sean Connery or possablyBruce Willis, mabe even Morgan Freeman or Forest Whitaker. Mrs. Hudson..... perhaps Kirsty Alley. An alstar cast to be sure, but without a grand director film maker, the Tallent may go unused in all their full potential so thats why I'v thought that the perfect dirrector would be Stephen Speilburg or even Francis Ford Copola. One can dream I suppose, it would be interesting to present such a cast to a producer along with a sctipt. Mabe with a year or so's time it might be able to be completed.
