Vicarious Overwhelming

I have just gotten to watch what I have only dreamed of doing while I was still in high school. I wrapped up a CIF championship game involving my youngest brother's school. It was an intense game against a bitter rival, Jurupa Valley High School, but in the end the good people survived to the end.

It's such an odd feeling watching a younger brother win a championship when it's quite possible you were the better basketball player, even to this day. I still give him alot of credit! He has been through some tough times with his teammates and I only hope this will finally help him crack down his wall, and let his teammates truly know how he feels. So now my father and my youngest brother are going to get big rings to commemorate this grand accomplishment.

He also gets to live the rockstar life for a few days as he goes to school the following morning and students he didn't know before will now be aware of him! I can only hope he will continue to do and live how he knows best.

From Ashes.

Alrighty, so I have decided to unleash a portion of my story so far. Hope you like it. Also working on doing a few Thrice musings, along with a few spiritual thoughts on particular topics. Here's the link to the word doc of my story :

Working Title(The Actuary).doc

Chew it up, spit it out. Let me know if it's dull so far. Let me know what you think so far. Let me know if it seems to be something that is worth finishing. Are you intrigued? I've written more so far, but it's really slow for me because I don't have a sense of urgency for it. And I have a 10-page paper due for a lame class I have. Blah blah.

~The mute speaks, life comes from death, new arises from ashes.

Devotion & Despair or The Actuary goes down in flames.

Disaster, this short story will not write. I keep trying to put more into it, but I keep wanting to just burn it. I'll print it out or send it off to someone or something with where it is. I just am not liking it and I don't care about finishing it. Troubling that I want to do a short story but am unable to wrap that up. Maybe I'll start regurgitating some political viewpoints? Or just continue to yarn about how absurd our government is and how trivial we really can make a "difference" within the ridiculousness of our government.

Since Money is king, what drives our world? Yeah, cash. If you have some and alot of it you can have your way. So why does the government not work that way? Well it does.

~Controversial Standpoint. If you don't like abortion.... don't do it. Think, chew, wonder how I think about my perspective. I'm sure you can't figure it out.

Troubles at High Noon

Ok so I stated that I would have my short story down within two weeks...

Well, it is alot harder to do that when I've been sidelined with an illness for a good portion of this week. I do have about 800 words down, which basically is a quick summary and setup. I could post that up or post a link to the word file if people are interested? Otherwise I'll try to work on it some more this weekend and early next week.

Please do tell. I might even go a different route, with a different story, completing scrapping what I have so far... who knows.
