WHAT A SAD DAM DAY!

You know, today was a very sad day to one man, however, it was a very victorious, justified day for millions-THAT's WITH An "M"-of other men and women. Death is never beautiful, or good, but sometimes, death is the only way to show others that they can't do the most un-human acts capable of man. I believe that millions of people were flim-flamed today. Hanging a man that has commited the crimes proven before nuetral courts of law such as publically proven against Saddam is an injustice-he should have been slowly toasted by ants like the Indians used to do to their enemies out west, allowing them time to enter every oriface available, slowly exploring the tunnels of ignorance so profoundly available in the skull of such an ass-hole. I don't know why he was provided mercy, but I hope nobody will ever say another word about him-may he rest in hell-forever and ever-being tortured as a well deserved reward for his injustice to mankind. Happy New Years you MF-enjoy it like no other! To all of the countless families of Iraq which had to endure the suffering of his totalitarian rule-have the most wonderful New Year in 2007 ever possible and total luck in your future.

MERRY CHRISTMAS READERS!

I've been busy lately shopping for Christmas and trying to get some odds and ends accomplished before the new year begins and it has been the catalyst of my tardiness in updating this blog. I am sure there are many beliefs all over the world about Christmas, Santa Claus, etc., however, this being my personal blog site, I write about how I perceive beliefs and the season to be. I was raised believing that there is a God and we celebrate the birth of his son on 25 Dec. I was never taught anything about Honnecca, Koran, or any of those other religions that claim to have supreme power over protestant beliefs. Having said that, I personally believe today's' paranoid concerns for being politically correct in everything we do is a huge crock-o-shit! If I want to spread a little cheer and shout,"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" to the top of my lungs, then frankly I don't care what people of other religions think. I don't tell the Jews when to light their candelabra, and I don't set my watch or tell Muslims when to turn and prey to Mecca either, so frankly I don't think they have any right whatsoever to say jack-shit about how I feel about Christmas or any other holiday I choose to celebrate. Therefore,





MERRY
CHRISTMAS
TO EVERYONE
WHO BELIEVES
AND HAVE A
HAPPY
NEW YEAR
TOO!!!








If you don't believe in new years, then please let me know how you set your watch.

THE POPE TALKS TURKEY IN TURKEY?!

Did the Pope say what I thought he did? Was it clear enough for all to understand? His speech in Regensburg, Germany was around 30 minutes long, but it basically said the Islam religion was spreading by violence of the sword instead of true conversion which required reason. As usual, the VERY SENSITIVE Islam world got all excited because - THE TRUTH HURTS WHEN SPELLED OUT SO CLEARLY. He further said that Christian religions deserve the same rights to practice their faith in Muslim-majority countries as Muslims practice freely in western countries.
I personally believe the Pope's speech was as Bart Simpson so clearly stated in a classic cartoon during a family analysis after Doctor Monroe determined Homer was the family problem, "Right on Doc, another successful analysis."
The Muslim religion has provided people with an excuse to commit atrocities for too many years, taking advantage of people ignorant in their interpretation of the Koran or messages provided by muslim priests-those guys in charge of teaching Gods will. If someone told you-a Baptist, Methodist, Catholic preacher/priest-to go and strap yourself to a megaton of explosives in the name of God, would there be a cause you would do that for? Would you even do that to save your own family? Think about the question...Many times we say we would do so-and-so if this-or-that happened in our lives, but when shit actually hit the fan, which option would you choose?
I feel very strong about the self-sacrifice bomber. I believe bombings of any kind-either from a plane, strapped to a person, or any other method of delivery-are cowardly and only show how little courage a man actually has to stand his ground. Come up to me and punch me in the face-show me you have guts, balls, and sufficient confidence in yourself that you can kick my ass face-to-face. Blowing up the little girl eating an ice-cream cone in the arms of her mother, permanently injuring another that lives to never walk again in the name of Islam is not only the highest level of lame possibly known to man, it is the icon of Satan, and quite frankly, that can't very well be considered an act generated by the name of God can it???

DUB-YA SIGNS ANOTHER BAD CHECK!

Today-according to the associated press out of Washington-our illustrious President signed into law yet another debatable issue to further confuse the American people. As if we weren't scared enough already with the invasion of terrorism, mail bombs, gas agents, etc., etc., we now have the right to lose our rights. That's right, you heard me right. The police state, excuse me, the official law enforcement agents of our proud country may now come to your house-simply by the testimony of another person mind you, (kind of like when we were hanging WITCHES in Salem), and take you under custody and you DO NOT have the RIGHT to protest that action. I could be missing something here, and I don't want to start any rumors either, but if what I read is true, then we are but one step away from throwing our INALIABLE RIGHTS right down the toilet like so much paper.
There are laws drawn up and passed, signed by the president, you know the BJ, but at the end of the day, someone has to enforce those laws or they don't mean anything at all. Our constitutional rights are laws which were drawn up, signed by the president, etc. Many years ago, and although some of them may be debatable, they are still in place and are SUPPOSED to be UPHELD, however, like I said before, what good are they if not enforced??? MAMA MIA, talk about your spicy meatball.....

IS TELLING A LIE WRONG??????

Remember when you were little and your parents told you not to lie? Maybe they even told you it was a sin, and even if it was a "Little WHITE lie", it was still wrong. If the act of telling a lie is wrong, then what level is it considered to be on from a scale of 1 to 10 for example? Does it depend on the results of the lie, or are all lies considered the same? If one lie is worse than another, then to what levels of punishment are they supposed to have administered? Lets try and define this from a simple lie to an all out 180 degree BOLD-FACED whopper. First lets try and define an example of a little white lie: The little child who takes something and later says they didn't do it, but after the guilt-that built in mechanism which lights up inside our minds when we do something obviously wrong-demands reprieve, the little child confesses. Now the punishment to fit the crime would probably be anything from no TV for a while to time-out in the room.
Moving right along to the whopper. Let us say that someone in our government tells us anything about anything-well we know that immediately it is a WHOPPING BIG LOAD OF BULLSHIT! Now, how do we, (as citizens of the country), punish the individual with appropriate levels to fit the crime? They aren't told that what they've said is a lie, they are simply allowed to go on as if nothing has happened, like turning the head from the child and playing make believe as if they never took anything from anyone. Well you'd better wake up AMERICANS! Those liars are taking a hell of lot more from you than your pride, your money, and your freedom-They are taking away your children when they grow up to go fight their wars over nothing more than this:

A BIG FAT WHOPPING LIE!!!

When are they going to have to be accountable for those lies?
What is the punishment for telling lies?
Who will ever help us correct this problem?
How will we keep rape, murder, and other lie originating desasters from our government in the future?
When will the people who make the laws ever become responsible for their actions of telling lies and breaking the laws they actually make for the masses?
There are much more than little WHitehouse lies going on in capital hill folks and it has to stop or we are all going to play the part of sewage and get flushed down the toilet in the near future.

BACK TO SCHOOL LITTLE DUDES!!

Don't know how the schedule is where you are located, but around here the kids started back to school this month and are now going full-blast, (unlike the sound being made around American schools), and learning faster than ever before. There are no metal detectors or police walking the hallways, no special office dedicated to investigations or other sordid crimes. The teachers are mostly young and out of college starting careers and giving it all they've got. The children actually have to study their subjects over here and there are absolutely no multiple choice tests. When a question is asked, it has an answer, and although many times the answer is subjective, that's why the teachers go to college! HELLO!!! They are supposed to be able to determine if little Johnnie's answer sucks or not. You send your children to school to learn and that's what they do. There are no lockers in the hallway. There are no soda machines, candy machines, or any other machines clogging the hallways either. The children take their books home every night-no need for lockers. They get out from 12:45 AM to 3:00 PM to eat a well prepared lunch at their home-the one they walk to and from. It's not all hard work and no play either because they have lots of recreation and run and jump like any other kids in the world. Some of the finest physicians originate in this country and provide health care throughout the globe. Many of the number one sports personnel on today's circuits are from Spain. I don't have to list names like Nadal, or Alonso because everyone knows where they stand at the tennis court, or the formula 1 race track. I hope your children are getting a good education also because that is the end result we all desire to achieve. Some schools are better than others, some more comfortable, some with more financial backing, and the best transportation and eating facilities available to the board of education, however, all of those things are really just brighter color on the painting when it boils down to the job interview after college-the brightest light always shines the strongest when it has been charged with the most potential.
Education is imperative to the survival of our world-no matter where you live-so take an interest in your child's education. Don't let their teachers pass out the multiple choice TAKE YOUR BEST GUESS TEST. Get involved in the PTA and let yourself be heard. Demand that the children be tested in a way to increase their potential, to challenge their minds instead of pushing them through the system so they can work at a minimum paying job without a future. My children may never get a super job either, but it won't be from me not trying-they do some type of homework 365 days a year. They either read a different language, study games developed by JumpStart programs on the computer, or do their required school work scheduled for that day, but they are so accustomed to the system, that they treat learning like the thing it is-just another part of everyday life............

Soooooo Much to Write-Soooo Little Time....

I discuss writing techniques, methodology, thought patterns, creativity, and anything leading towards production of morphing an idea into a final printed novel with fellow author/writers, and their experiences are very similar in nature. Although the strange individual emerges infrequently-totally misunderstood by anyone listening-the majority not only write, they actually imagine themselves as the characters they write about, trying to emulate feelings, emotions, and capabilities to be more understanding about the subject at hand. Writers with established characters which repeat themselves in each new novel tend to almost possess the writer-they wake in the night with an idea rushing to write it down before sleeping again, or dream about the individual character being themselves, even creating voices to coincide with their image of the being they have formulated. I personally don't have repetitious characters yet because each novel I have written has absolutely nothing to do with any of the previous ones. I know there are many authors which will argue this, because each one wants to be original in nature and be unique in their field. I believe that the great authors of this world we currently strive in will be determined long after they are gone simply due to the plethora of reading material available to mankind. We simply don't have time to read all the great novels out there in our lifetime. How will anyone know my writing is fantastic if they never read it? Eventually, someone will pick up one of my paperbacks and shuffle through it, but until that happens, it is simply a dead tree on the shelf collecting dust. I will write all my life, or until I go blind, or get writerscramp, but after I die, there will be many novels to read that someone in the future will benefit from. My intentions are to provide realistic possible issues to the surface for discussion, events unknown to many, daily tasks to others. I have heard several situations where authors get stuck and can't come up with subjects to write about-writersblock-but I don't know how that is possible with the unlimited possibilities flying around us every day. My problem is having too many subjects to write about and not enough years to complete them... Any authors running short on ideas feel free to ask and I will fill you with enough situations to last you a lifetime. Happy reading and good luck writing.

LIFE IS A MOVIE and WE ARE THE STARS!!!

Today's episode turned up another XXXXX number of people dead around the world. That's right. Everyday X number of people die. Dead people are everywhere. Bodies over here, carcasses over there. The reason why? Does it matter? Does anyone even care anymore? Has death become so mundane that it doesn't even phase the mind anymore? X amount of people were killed in Baghdad today from car bombs, X amount of people died from malnutrition in Zimbabweh, hundreds died when their boats overturned from trying to escape Africa and get to the shores of the Canary Islands, thousands died in the World Trade Center buildings when they collapsed after being bombed by 747 airliners, etc. etc. etc..... When did we decide to accept these numbers as normal everyday life? Why do we allow these events to happen, yet become so passive, and so caring, and concerned when criminals are treated less than perfect? You know what I mean!! We know what is right and what is wrong. Many times the writing is on the wall, but we ignore it because of some bullshit law that was designed, written, and placed into the books by criminals themselves. What we are doing by accepting these "LAWS" or policies that DO NOT protect the innocent citizen, but instead prevent ENFORCEMENT of the LAW by either tying the law officer's hands or the judges ability to actually judge, allowing criminal activity to GET AWAY WITH MURDER!! What can anyone do that isn't a lawyer, judge, lawmaker, senator, or representative do? Well my first solution to this issue would normally be to vote the bastards and bastardeses out of office and find someone honest enough to get back to sincere law enforcement but that can't be done when electronic voting has been clearly seen as unreliable and subject to total manipulation. Since we can't get the criminals out of politics, then what can we do as a collective society? Are we simply hosed? Do we just make sure our guns are fully loaded at the house and shoot any body that tries to get past our electric fences and killer dogs? The little lady comes to mind across the street bringing an apple pie to welcome the new neighbor into the neighborhood and gets shot before she can reach the doorsteps. Has our country lost it's FU%^(ng mind? Have we gone so far off the edge that we are living a damned Arnold Swartzennager movie to escape reality? I don't accept all the dead bodies....I don't accept my daughter getting raped because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time....I don't accept my family being punished and forced to live in a terrible neighborhood because my representative considers their yacht and lambrogini more important than our living conditions...I definitely don't accept a president that puts his own personal gains far above and beyond the terrible living conditions he has placed the entire world in by acting like a spoiled brat instead of a man in control of the most powerful country in the world...I don't accept ducking my head in shame when I venture outside the USA and am considered the lowest of dung under the boots of a pig farmer...and most of all, I don't accept my fellow Americans in arms losing their lives every day for something that makes no sense whatsoever in any shape, form, or fashion-NO CAUSE!!!!!!!IF we are watching life, and it is a movie, then it would appear to me that this one is going to have a hell of a bad ending..............

LIMITING BOOKS TO A MINIMUM!

What if tomorrow someone introduced a headline which rang throughout the world with the power of the sound of bells from Notre Dame screaming, "THERE WILL BE NO MORE BOOKS WRITTEN ANYMORE-ANYWHERE-IN ANY LANGUAGE-WE ALREADY HAVE TOO MUCH TO READ!"
Would these simply be words on the front page cover? Printing factories would have a few things to say about it I'm sure, (since it's their bread and butter), but we could easily survive on current parchments indeed. There are so many avenues to read from today covering every subject imaginable-and many which aren't-that no one alive today can possibly read everything that exists out there if they did nothing else again in their lives except read. Hell, no body will even read this waffle I'm typing now, so why do people insist on expressing their opinions, elating us with their charms, and persisting to seek out that ever lingering desire to be placed into the eye of the ever watchful public? Why do more and more books on rubbish keep leaking into the system which cover items such as Watching Bumpers Rust, or Have You Ever Looked at Life Through the Eyes of a Cow? People are publishing their own books through PODs left and right-since breaking the ice with a publishing company is next to impossible-and the level of writing has diluted the industry so harshly that people only read the first chapter or so, then throw the book away if there is no interest. I have written several great novels which tell stories of the wildest imagination one could hope to find, however, without the publisher's push, they remain lost in the world of Bumper Rust and Cow's Eyes. The bottom line is that we have to chose what we read in today's society since there are so many viruses mixed in with the good, better, and best novels and making those choices can be hard. Walk into whichever bookstore you want to today and watch which books reach out and grab you, verses the ones who meekly hide on their quiet shelves, hoping no one will disturb their peace. The books which grab you have cost someone a very large amount of money to produce COVERS that REACH OUT and SLAP YOU IN THE FACE! Those babies cost a lot to have the sparkles, and the vivid movement, and even the voice that speaks to you as you pass by from the micro-chip embedded in the cover. Whatever it takes to get your money, it will be done, amen.
SOOOOOOOOOOO, would you give a damn if all printing stopped around the globe?

FOUNTAIN OF WINE

Today I had the pleasure of driving my son over to a small village where celebrations were taking place to give thanks for this year's bumper crop of grapes. The method they use is simple: They fill a huge fountain in the middle of their downtown area with wine and everyone fills their cup. The fountain spews the crimson liquid out of an angel's mouth straight into the air about a yard above it's face, then drains into the huge 2nd story bowl where bunches of concord colored grapes hang off the edge allowing the current bounty to drain into the lower-much larger-bottom level of the fountain. There is no cost. There are no fights. No body gets drunk-unless some stupid American tourist happens to stumble into the city accidentally. There are 40 to 50 booths available along a shaded promenade providing various items one might find at a flea market. The fiesta celebrates, however, it also promotes the local wine industry and provides a great excuse for everyone to get out in the street and relax in a world so full of violence that everyone is sick of hearing about it. What a pleasant Sunday, I think I even heard the church bells ringing as well while I sipped on a taste of the first red wine of 2006. I hope you will also find a way to relax your mind wherever you are, and turn off the tube long enough to smell the wine.

AMERICANs & GEOGRAPHY- DOESN'T MIX

I AM PISSED! Did you hear what happened in the upper regions of Hesmaklamcha? When I first read it, I thought it had to be a miss print. How could a nation of Lamsemions treat their own people like that? It was openly admitted by the cabinet of international nations for peace, that the borders of Hesmaklamcha would be securely guarded by troops from the peace keeping forces in Europe until their people could evacuate the country. During this period of exodus, the Tramposeenie faction attacked it's own people with hand made Molotov cocktail bombs, burning innocent women and children trying to race to freedom. Shots rung out in the air during the skirmish and disaster ruled the streets when finally a car bomb went off and cleared the trail of freedom seekers in half. The bloodbath went on for only a few minutes, but little time is required to quench the thirst of disaster. The Hesmaklamcha released a DVD to the press and will be aired tomorrow night on the evening news. I guess what gets me the most is why would a people attack their own kind in order to make a point? How could someone murder their own people for whatever they did? And most of all, WHERE THE HELL IS HESMAKLAMCHA?
The news is smothered in reports about people being attacked here, and killed there, and even with their simple maps they use to EDUCATE US STUPID AMERICANS IN GEOGRAPHY, the majority of us could give a rat's ass where Hisbalue or Peshbachan is located. We don't have family there, nor investments, or anything else there except maybe a family member fighting a war to free some bunch of foreigners that will only turn around when we leave and start cutting each other's throats again as soon as the last soldier gets on his transport home. The only reason we are fighting anywhere is so easily understood by the common person, that the nightly news insults us more than the occasional middle finger one points in our general direction on the occasional traffic close-call, IT IS ABOUT MONEY!!!!
Do you see American soldiers fighting in Africa down in the jungles to supply all of the starving tribes with food, technology, etc? Are we fighting in the jungles of South America to end the production of plants creating cocaine, heroine, etc? No way man!!!! Are you shittin me????? Capitalistic rich only go where the benefits are. If I take over your country and get petroleum, then watch out cause I'm going to kick your ass!! If you can provide me some type of geographical advantage, watch your back!!!! Those with power have always-throughout time-bullied their way into more and more riches.
When America falls, and every super-power which has ever existed on our globe has fallen to either time or other more powerful nations, it will do just what my father always told me growing up as a young man:
Son, if you get in a fight to protect yourself, and the other guy is twice your size, looks mean and maybe even growls at you while punching his fist in his hand, always remember this, THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE HARDER THEY FALL, AND TAKING OUT THEIR KNEE WILL ENSURE THAT THEY SQUALL!
My dad was generally a pacifistic person, but he hated bullies, and always prepared me in self defense while growing up. I grew up during predestined wars among blacks in the south, school district separations, and many other social changes that added fuel to the fires of life. My dad was a veteran from WWII and only taught me techniques resulting in immediate results-non of this Haaaaa, Heeeee, shit you see on the Chinese movies where Kung-Fu experts fly in the air and walk on water. More like Stephen Siegal moves-Break first and talk later. I am just around the corner from 50 years old now and during my life, I used those techniques to save my life and the life of a friend 3 or 4 times. It always worked, and I always walked away-Thanks DAD.
Anyway, back to the issue-America is the biggest Giant to ever emerge in the history of mankind. Rome had many roads built, but I don't think they competed with the Interstate infrastructure the USA has. Our nation is powerfull-without going into detail, SAM'S GOT SOME POWERFUL SHIT! BUT, The bigger they are, the harder they fall, and I don't know who's gonna take the knee, but I hope I'm not around to hear it SQUALL.......

How Much Time Do Our Senators Waste?

I was scanning a little info today referred by a friend and discovered that our Senators have been quite busy over the last year proposing bills for various reasons and realized why our system is so coagulated. How do they have time to do anything if they are proposing hundreds of bills-which must go through the process of a bill to become law, (Remember Bill on Capitol Hill?), instead of spending time trying to better the area they have been given responsibility for-the state their constituents live in FOR EXAMPLE?! First let me say that I am not a graduate of political science and my opinion probably means absolutely nothing whatsoever, however, I would think that the people that read this are capable of READING and can come to their own conclusion, so here is only one example out of thousands which exist at http://thomas.loc.gov/ and can be reviewed at your own discretion.

102. S.AMDT.1660 to H.R.2862 To establish a congressional commission to examine the Federal, State, and local response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Region of the United States especially in the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and other areas impacted in the aftermath and make immediate corrective measures to improve such responses in the future.
Sponsor: Sen Clinton, Hillary Rodham [NY] (introduced 9/8/2005) Cosponsors (16)
Latest Major Action: 9/14/2005 Amendment SA 1660 ruled out of order by the chair.

Maybe I'm just completely in the dark on political issues, but what does a senator in NEW YORK have to do with problems in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama? Don't those states have their own elected Senators? Isn't it their responsibility to create the paperwork for bills dealing with their specific states? I just made a simple mathematic equation to estimate how many bills must be reviewed and it is simply 50 x 100 = 5000. Poor Bush, no wonder he makes such FU$^@D up decisions-he's busy vetoing, signing, or passing over 20 bills a day.

While I'm on the subject, have you written to your Senator or Representative today, yesterday, ever in your life? You have the right-as a free American citizen-to write to your representative and find out exactly what they are doing for you and how they represent what you THE PEOPLE want done for you!!!!!!!!!

WORLWIDE HELL!

Let me think just a minute here. Wasn't that guy Hitler the one we studied about in European history that committed genocide against people called JEWS? I believe-correct me if I'm wrong-his soldiers eliminated JEWS by gassing thousands of them in concentration camps. Are they just now getting pissed about that? Are they confusing Germans with Palestinians? Are we talking eye for an eye or what? It sure as hell doesn't look like DO UNTO OTHERS kind of stuff. READ MY BOOK PEOPLE!!! It explains where all this crap ends up and why......
I promised myself I wouldn't fall into the radical corner by watching the news since our fiestas ended yesterday, (my head still hurts from the music, heat, and mostly the good wine), but there is nothing good on the news at all. The whole world is going flipping mad. Read the epilogue of War and Peace, it kind of sums up the funnel effect our world is being tugged into-like a black hole in outer space but worse. No matter who is elected into power, now there's a great term, (INTO POWER), they will take up where DUBYA leaves off and sink us deeper in debt, closer to the inevitable, and ruin the most powerful country in the world. Can you imagine that? The greatest country ever formed by people with great intentions coming to the highest power ever known to mankind, ending up totally collapsed by incompetent people making major decisions for whatever personal gain they might attain. A country only being independent for a little over 225 years, then failing the test of time and bowing it's head in shame for not listening to it's people and doing the right things to better manage itself. I hate to see a country so proud with such a great track record fall from the pedestal, but people, unless something is done to prevent future leaders from having such total control over our lives, then the good ole USA-our country-is going to end up in the toilet, and outside influence will have their hand on the lever that will flush it straight down the drain.
You ask yourself, "Okay Mr. SmartyPants, what do you suggest we do?"
Considering the current situation America is in, I personally believe that anyone could do a better job-no matter what their party is. Even I could run the country better than what the current office is doing and I know very little about political science, however, if senior graduates with 4.0 averages coming out of college were appointed to positions by a quality controlled team of scholars, on a random basis-I don't mean taking every high and mighty richy rich from the Ivy league-and placing them in all public offices from the senate and house of representatives down as many tiers as necessary for publicly elected personnel, then our country could start fresh with new ideas, improved methods of procedures, and no outside influences would have a part in the decision making processes. All would have to be native born Americans with clean records and a committee would be created to investigate any government department to eliminate possible outside criminal influence from taking place. All government expenditures would be made public record accessible through the internet by anyone filing taxes in the USA-we the people have a right to know how our money gets spent-and if enough taxpayers disagreed with how it was being spent, we could bitch about it formally and have it eliminated or a legitimate justification provided-just like the IRS makes us do, SHOW ME THE RECEIPT. The bottom line is this people: There are many ways to get dirt out of the house, but someone has to pick up the broom and push it or it will never be removed!!

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US?

What has happened to our manners? You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones like do unto others, thank you, your welcome, etc. Remember when it was second nature to correct someone when they forgot those manners? Remember when you wouldn't think twice to help someone who was being picked on at the playground-to stand up for them? What happened to those manners we used to have? It seems as if-AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG-our country appears to have forgotten their manners as well. Many whole countries have forgotten their basic manners! How come we allow our fellow man-people with eyes, noses, and throats-to be so openly supressed by bullies and not help them from being picked on? Quite clearly someone throwing rockets and missiles at a group of people which only have rocks for defense seems somewhat lop-sided doesn't it? Why are we as Americans so willing to bow our heads-as if in prayer-and give a great big huge smacker right dead on the ass of Isreal? What did the Jewish community do for America that was so great we have to give them BILLIONS of US Dollars every year? What happened to our manners? Where are they? Will we get them back or simply go on kissing behinds?

TOO MANY FIESTAS!!!!!

Running next to bulls, running in and out of little caves packed with barrels of beer and wine, eating way too much and sweating like a worker in an enclosed building during the summer in the south, I'm quickly becoming burned out on fiestas. A person can only enjoy so much before the common everyday activities of waking, dressing, and turning oneself wide-open until crashing at night become droll. I have a break this week from fiestas, however, my kids will still have to be taken to the pool, their summer activities school, then tennis lessons will complete their vacation. Next week DAROCA, SPAIN-the little town where we currently reside-will begin it's medieval festival where we all dress up in clothing used during the period known as the dark age, or the dark ageS, or the middle age/s, or medieval, mediaeval, mideaevil, and the time frame was between the "ANCIENT TIMES" and "MODERN TIMES" .
Many theories have been presented by historians attempting to determine the exact periods these time-frames fell into and after many hypothesis of varying natures, it seems to have originated somewhere around the 5th century and ended around the 15th century when the renaissance period began-depending which historian provides the information-influenced by various historical events occurring during different time frames providing factors for basing dates associated with said origins and endings.
Basically nobody knows exactly when the period began or ended, historians simply base their information on what they apply as the most important events at the time which would influence a world change. Kind of like today-no body can agree on anything in Europe because everyone is after the interests of their own personal country-imagine that! Oh well, I guess that whatever time in history the midiaeval ages began and ended, we're going to try and dress up like people from those times "best guessed", and eat, drink, shop in the streets and be merry-for two whole weeks. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it, might as well be me.........

WORLD CUP ICING

WELLLLLLL, whadayaknow??!! FRANCE GOT THEIR BUTTS WHIPPED! Not really-I just don't like the team that much and am glad that someone else won. I have to give it to them though-they really know how to wrap up the game with a BANG!How about their leader, Captain "Head-Butt Zinedine"? That was probably the worst thing he could have done, but the guy he did it to more than likely deserved what he got. The player from Italy has a reputation of being a trouble maker, and on the other hand, Zidane has had an entire career known as a "Gentleman". It would appear that in order to have been driven to a state of complete aggression, he must have been provoked with words of trashy quality, personally profound, and absolutely socially unacceptable. He would have been awarded the most valuable player of the entire competition if the event had been avoided, however, because of one heated moment-his very last contribution to the football league of soccer-this great athlete was stripped of due recognition, and presented a red card to be sent off of the field of play forever. Myself, being a southern redneck, by God I salute you for not hesitating to demand respect. Why the guy said anything derogatory is beyond me anyway because hell, they had already won the game, so why rub it in his face???? I think what happened will only make a sort of martyr out of Zidane since this year's world cup will always be talked about in the future as "That year the French player head-butted that guy at the end of the playoffs".

Wimbledon Has Too Many Players

I tried for a day or two to sort out the complecated mess awaiting some helpless git whose job it is to schedule hundreds of people to play tennis for a couple of weeks in England. The best thing I found was software that may be downloaded from http://www.tennisnavigator.com/ and it appears to have all the info necessary to quench the thirst of any tennis buff.

You Want to Publish What???

I am still frantically seeking to have one of my novels published after completing it on-just a second, let me check my records-10 March 2005, and the only response received by the masses of agencies out there "Seeking New Clients" appears to be a clone of the one before it-Don't call us, we'll-well never mind, just don't call us. Maybe they are only looking to publish writers that can guarantee them a 7 figure sale, like the college grad seeking employment where they say you must have a degree and 2 years experience. We will represent your book, but you have to have already sold at least 1 book which marketed over 10,000 sales. I really got frustrated one day at all the red tape, the false excuses, the let downs, etc., and replied to an agent asking them just WTF they wanted from a writer. I asked how come the same shit comes back every time in a response about how they don't have time to read every proposal, how they receive so many manuscript synopsis letters per month that they have to be selective yet none have even requested to see a manuscript.
The agent was super professional and answered me as if I were a child being scolded for something I had done wrong and actually explained to me in detail what I already knew, but wasn't ready to accept. That was the most truthful response I have received from any agent since taking the first step towards publishing and it was a wake up call for me. I admitted my probable faults, purchased several "How to Publish" type reference books, re-wrote my synopsis and proposal letter exactly how they suggested and nothing has changed. I need suggestions.
Is this like trying to get employment with the state? Do you have to wait until a published author dies before the agent needs another slot to be filled for you to become a selectee? Is this a lottery where agents must be bought as a ticket and hope for the best? Does anyone have any legitimate feedback for what is necessary to get a few words placed into print without mortgaging the house and giving up the kids? I am so confused...............

WOW!!!! VIVA ESPAÑA!!!

What a great time!! We just had almost 2 full weeks of fiestas here in Daroca, Spain and let me tell you something-If you haven't been there and done that, then you have no idea what a party is. These are the most hospitable people I have ever known. I was welcomed into one private little club after another and told to come back whenever I wanted, drink or eat anything I wanted, and made more friends than I ever knew existed. There were rides, fireworks, food, drinks, games with unimaginable capacity, antique games, bullfights, etc, etc.......Anyway, I'm hung over-feels good too. Time to write down some of these ideas busting to escape my brain, enlightening what a little party can do to the imagination, huh?????

!!!!FIESTAS!!!!!! AT HOME BASE!

Don't have time to really go into anything today, we are celebrating this week-going inside one private little underground cool environment after another where all have beer, and many have loads of food-MAN I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!! Spain is a fantastic place for traditions, celebrations, and general vacations. Nobody really likes to work over here, but we do. For now however, the party started on the 10th, and will go until the 18th Sunday night. I'm getting older so it's harder to stay up with everybody as we walk up the steps of the old 17th centry wine bodega and make our way towards the next pena-(pronounced pen nia)-to toast the next round for the religeous celebration of Corpus.
See you Monday, until then, Cheers............

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE CORE PROBLEM???

Forgive me for not placing issues in the right place, but although I'm having a hell of a time publishing novels, I can't help but notice that my country is crumbling quicker than the twin towers of New York....
I live in Spain and receive information thru the net, TV, newspapers, etc. like anyone else in the world, filtering the opinions from the facts, observing the results of actions taken by the powerful, and it appears as if MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE has turned into MY COUNTRY TIS OF ME-GEORGE W. BUSH.
What are we allowing this person to do to us? So many web sites dedicate themselves to freedom of speech/press and produce an uncanny amount of evidence against him that as a minimum, I repeat-AS A MINIMUM, WE THE PEOPLE should be able to impeach this guy if he isn't doing what WE THE PEOPLE want him to.
At what point did the public John Doe lose his power to rule the country as WE THE PEOPLE? Don't give me that horse-shit either about, "You could have elected a representative for congress that shared your ideas like everyone else," because of 2 major factors: (1) We all know that elections have been tampered with to a level that hardly anyone trusts them anymore-they vote out of CIVIC DUTY, A CHANCE TO GET OFF WORK TO GO VOTE, OR THEY ARE SUFFICIENTLY BRAIN WASHED TO CONTINUE AS THE INNOCENT SHEEP THEY ARE. (2) If you are not RICH, then you MORE THAN LIKELY won't be elected. Let's analyze: I am a great person, know every possible constituent in district (No. X). I work hard, pay my taxes, have a family, meet age requirements, and born and raised in the USA. Never moved, eat apple pie and drive a Chevy. I make a simple wage like most citizens and I love my country enough to represent them in congress. I can only afford to campaign with the little money I can struggle to attain and CANNOT AFFORD TIME ON LOCAL TV-MUCH LESS NATIONAL. My opponent is a big fat slob who moved here to be in this district from wherever long enough to establish residency-i.e. Hillary Clinton-they meet the same requirements I do, however, they don't know hardly any of their constituents, (much less what their needs are or what they want represented in Washington), but one factor will get them elected every single time: MONEY!!!!!! Our country has turned into one big fat embarrassing WHORE. A prostitute takes money for favors, but the client gets something in return. What are we getting in return for the WHORE officials representing us in congress???????????????????????????????????????????
Why can't people who truly want the best for our country be elected??????
What has to be done by WE THE PEOPLE to turn this MONSTER WHORE around so we are looked upon by outside countries as the respectable, powerful but considerate freedom driven country we once were? I love my country and miss it very much, and hate to see the continual blasphemy thrown at it every day from around the world.
I live in Spain for the safety of my children, driven away by the gangs, the racial hatred, the drugs, and the hopelessness of a decent future in a nation gone mad.
Don't get me wrong, this is no utopia, and will never have the comfort found in the lifestyle shared in America, but our peace of mind cannot be tagged with a price which had to be paid daily in the good ole USA.
I am still an American, and always will be. I was raised in the south and am considered a high-tech redneck wherever I go. Europe has totally lost faith in the USA. China laughs at us as they make trade left and right. The fuel prices are so high that people are wondering if purchasing a vehicle is worth the investment anymore-considering anything as an alternative-even quitting their jobs because of the high cost of transit to and from work.
WE THE PEOPLE had better do something soon or we are going to become WE THE SEPARATED and civil dispute will arise as it has so many times before throughout history. I don't know who has the power to challenge the rich WHORES, but somebody had better do something because from all the media sources we have over here, the good ole USA ain't so GOOD anymore. I used to vote every year, but since the voting system has been tampered with so much, I don't even bother anymore-WHOEVER THE RICHEST WHORE IS WILL BE ELECTED ANYWAY-UNTIL WE THE PEOPLE DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE THAT AROUND.

IS EVERYONE PUBLISHED BUT ME??????

After looking at Ebay, Amazon, and other famous book distribution sites on the net, I realize there are so many books about so many things that evidently people are simply giving books away in order for someone to read their production. Maybe if enough people read their book, the next one will be more known, etc. With so many books available to the masses, how does one of the mass elect which one to read? AHHHH!!!!! One of those questions that twists the brain ehh? Like how do I know which guy to talk to in the crowd? Which girl will dance with me? Let's analize this just a tad. When you met your spouse-if you have one-what was the first thing you noticed about them? Here's another one: What was the first thing that attracted you to your girlfriend? In case the message isn't clear yet, allow me to point it out-The first thing people subconsciously and impulsively respond to is.........

IMAGE!!!!

My theory is to put most of your money into the cover design of a novel, and watch how it sells much quicker than the typical, everyday, (we offer our covers in these 9 designs) book covers. I'm having my first book cover designed by a world famous cartoon artist which is going to literally splash the market. The cover will stand out in a room with thousands of other novels around it. People will be purchasing the book solely for the cover-although I consider my novels original stories developed from the depths of extreme imagination. Check out the first killer novel to hit the public at www.kgbass.info and you can simply touch the left button on your mouse when the curser glides over the button marked FREE SAMPLE. Don't expect a typical happy little story with bells and jingles-oh contrar-my novels hit reality in the face with a sledgehammer and paint the color with vivid pixals. If you want little tingly lies and chats, read someone else's stuff, but if you want hit the ground running reality, then tune in baby, cause I've only just begun.

Bitch and Complain-All I Ever Hear-WHY?????

I AM A DAMNED GOOD STORY TELLER & ALTHOUGH SOME CALLED ME A LIAR WHEN GROWING UP, I´VE ENDED UP WRITING SEVERAL NOVELS!
HOW ABOUT YOU? HAVE A WRITING STORY TO TELL? BEEN SCREWED BY THE WRITING MAZE FROM HELL? TELL ME ABOUT IT AND SEE IF SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE ANSWER. MAYBE WE SHOULD START A WRITERS GUILD CALLED ---THE CATCH 22 UNPUBLISHED AUTHORS---PUNISHED FOR NEVER HAVING BEEN PUBLISHED--- INTERPRETATION? PURE AND SIMPLE: PREJUDICE.

WRITING SEEMED TO ALWAYS TUG AT MY PANTSLEGS BUT I NEVER TURNED AROUND TO SEE WHAT IT WANTED SINCE I WAS TOO BUSY WITH LIFE. WELL I´M NOW ABLE TO TURN AROUND AND HAVE BEEN WRITING FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. I HAVE SEVERAL BOOKS WAITING TO BE PUBLISHED, BUT IT SEEMS AS IF WRITERS DON´T MEAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE. IF YOU HAVEN´T BEEN PUBLISHED, HOLD AT LEAST 5 DOCTOR´S DEGREES, A MEDEL OF HONOR, AND MARRIED TO A FAMOUS ACTOR/ACTRESS, THEN BASICALLY YOU CAN GO F%$K YOURSELF BEFORE AN AGENCY ASKS TO SEE YOUR WORK. THERE IS THE SLIM POSSIBLILITY THAT YOU COULD HAVE THE NUMBERS THOUGH, LIKE THE LOTTERY, ONE IN A MILLION GET PUBLISHED BECAUSE OF THE INCREADABLE PENMANSHIP DISPLAYED FROM THE START----THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE, OR MAYBE YOU PERSONALLY KNOW SOMEONE IN PUBLISHING---THE "IT´S WHO YOU BLOW REALLY SEEMS TO APPLY HERE. I HAVE READ PROBABLY 20% OF THE BOOKS ON THE MARKET INSTRUCTING HOW TO AVOID PUBLISHING ERRORS AND SAIL DIRECTLY INTO THE AGENCY´S GREATEST CHANCES PILE, BUT AFTER FOLLOWING ALL OF THESE WISE AND IMPORTANT PROCESSES PASSED ON BY OTHER WRITERS THAT HAVE SOARED TO THE HEIGHTS OF PUBLISHING, AFTER PAYING NO TELLING HOW MUCH CASH FOR THE BOOKS, I´M COMING UP WITH SNAKE EYES--NOTHING. I CREATED THIS SIGHT TO FIND OUT JUST WHAT IN THE HELL A WRITER HAS TO DO IN ORDER TO PUBLISH A BOOK! ARE THERE ANY WRITERS OUT THERE THAT CAN GIVE ME ANY TYPE OF LEGITIMATE DIRECTION? PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IN GOD´S NAME I HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO GET AN AGENT TO HELP PUBLISH A BOOK? I´M AWARE OF ALL THE SELF-PUBLISHING AGENCIES, THE SOFTWARE FOR PRINTING AT HOME--NO THANKS. I´M INTERESTED IN COMMERCIALLY SELLING A DAMNED GOOD GROUP OF FINISHED NOVELS!!!!!!
I´ve read many different viewpoints from fabulous, published writers, and their basic message is to keep being persistent, make up a fantastic pitch letter, do exactly what the agency requires in their submission requirements section, and insure all grammar is perfect. After that, it is who you know, who you are, and how unique your idea is. Okay, now that I know that, where do my odds stand at publishing?
1 in oo (infinity), it´s not gonna happen.
I don´t know anyone in the publishing business, don´t have a doctor´s degree, and I´m just a plain kind of person with some killer stories to tell.
SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO GET A DAMNED IDEA READ!
I HAVE SENT THOUSANDS OF EMAILS, HUNDREDS OF SNAIL MAIL AND HAVE ONLY RECEIVED 3-COUNT EM,(SWEAR TO GOD), REQUESTS TO SEE MY WORK. I'M VERY EXHAUSTED.

Turning Rejection into MONEY

A Homosassa, Florida resident got tired of all the rejections he recieved from agents unwilling to process his work of art and this is what he did about it:



My appologies for the small type-should be able to simply click for a larger version.
If not, the bottom line to the story is wiping away misery with a clean sweep is easier than you think.

My Fingers Hurt

I've been writing so long my fingers have calasis on the tips of them, my back looks like someone who has picked a garden all his life, and I still haven't published a damned thing. Agents must be able to see into the future, because they treat my manuscripts like cow manure-They smell the manuscript before it even gets close to them and somehow know that whatever they do to it, it will always turn out to be a piece of shit. I'm not totally disappointed and if you like to draw your own conclusions, check out a free sample at www.kgbass.info and tell me what ya think.
I have started this blog site to find out if other authors exist that have run into problems while trying to publish for the first time.
Let me hear from you-please.
