Breaking Through the Ice

Hi friends!  It has been a few weeks since I blogged.  Today, I am trying to get back in the groove.  In my last posting I got political and I hate doing that.  Politics serves no good purpose and I really try to stay away from such debates.  I don't like to question the integrity of stupid unless it's due.

Nope, not today!  Today I am shaking off the tattered looks that discussions on politics leaves behind as a residue on our beings and I am opening the door to another discussion.

I am a writer!  More precisely, I am an author of two novels and am entertaining ideas for the third.  Writing is an art and like most writers, I've had to work hard at it.  The good thing about writing is that everything I put down on a digital piece of paper is subject to review before it is read by anyone.  If you were able to read my first draft of anything, that writing would expose me for the idiot that I am.  When I talk I do not have that protection and whatever I say is out there for all the world to wedgie me with.

Thank God that we now have computers.  The software helps me to preserve a measure of dignity by correcting errors or at least pointing them out to me so that I can make the needed improvements.  I remember the typing course I took way back in high school.  That was a chore!  We learned to type on worn out Underwood typewriters that no matter how hard you tried or how careful you were, the machine would mess it up for you and the teacher would always say it was my fault because the typewriter only types what I tell it to.  Oh, the mendacity!

I failed or almost failed many a test because of the evil Underwood.
thoise days are now in the past and typing hasn't goptten any easier fro me.  Oops!  I meant to type, those days are now in the past and typing hasn't gotten any easier for me.  The previous sentence is evidence of the mental damage that was created by the wicked manual machine.  I don't remember the location of all keys of the keyboard and if left up to the expertise of my fingers I often type badly misspelled words.  I have to watch my fingers do the typing.

Enough of that!  I am leaning towards a sequel to my latest, The Thorium Endeavor.  I left some things in the story unsettled specifically for this purpose.  I've not yet decided on whether to do the sequel now or later after I've seen how well received is the original story.

I could do a takeoff of Rescue of the Heart, too.  I've thought about Colleen and writing about her life after Jonas.


I don't know.  Tell me what you think.  Please leave your comments in the space below.

Thank you all for helping me to break through the ice and kick start my brain.  I must write now.  I will see you later.

This Reeaally Chaps My Hide!

Hi there to all my superfans!  I hope you are having a great day and really enjoying this week, cause it is awesome!

I say that, all the while knowing that my elected leaders are not leading us down the wrong path; they are just not leading us, period.  Most likely, that bunch of miscreants will not avoid the sequester and on March 1 we will all have to learn Chinese.  Why is that going to happen, you ask?  Well Charlie, Lucy, Patti and Linus, it will happen because we educated the wrong people.  

It is not likely that any of our politicians paid their own way through college.  I'm sure that at least some, if not all of them, received a grant or were given scholarships at our expense just so that they would one day get elected to office under the guise that they really cared about us; the people who paid for that education, voted for them to get into said office and make the world a better place to live. (Deep breath!)

That is all well and good except for one thing;  they don't give a f@#$ about us or this country or anything except for themselves and they are doing a good enough job at it, so much so that if they were working for anyone else in the whole world they would be fired!  

There should be an amendment to the constitution that allows us, the people to do just that if any of our elected officials are not performing duties as they should.  There should be a quarterly court of justice where they should have to give an accounting of what they've done and why they did or did not do something. That quarterly court of justice should be populated with 12 people from their own constituency; 4 people from lower tax brackets (including the homeless), 4 people from the middle class tax brackets and 4 from the filthy, greedy rich.  Each person will have the same amount of influence.  None will be able to override anothers vote.  No one will have more influence than anyone else.  After the quarterly court of justice has met with the politician, they will meet amongst themselves, discuss and then vote between them as to whether to allow said politician to remain in office.  Their decision would be final.  If the politician is ousted  he/she will have 3 days to vacate the office or be arrested for trespassing.

The time for the little people to rise up and show their numbers is well overdue.  We have been, for far too long, bending over to take it from the wealthy and those in a position of public trust.  This country was founded by the little people and its time we take it back.  

If this group of leaders can't get their $h!# together and do their jobs, then I say we throw them all out on their ears, accompanied by a good swift kick in the ass.

Do I sound angry?  You're damn right I am angry!  You should be too.  We've stupidly elected a whole bunch of self involved idiots.  

This should be the last straw.  Are you hearing me in Washington, D.C.?   Are you hearing any of us?

I try not to get involved in politics, but this reeaally chaps my hide!
