Update On Books In My Future

     People have been asking me because of all the monthly projects and the monthly work that goes into them when will my next book come out? The answer is, December of this year. The next book in the Tin Universe Middle Grade Series will be out in December of 2014 as I plan to write one of those every year and I'm currently working on this years as  I type this... or I stopped for a few minutes from writing it to type this.

     If you're wondering about my next adult book I'll be diving into an already written zero draft of my next adult book in 2014 and it will either be out in 2016 or 2017. Right now I have three zero drafts which could be slotted into that spot with one being a short story collection, another a collection of related stories, and the third a regular novel... saying regular novel makes it sound boring but I just mean one story straight through. There's probably a proper way of stating that but that's not how my brain works.

     Also a lot of things when it comes to my next adult book depends on what the full response to Tin Universe Monthly is. Right now the download numbers are going up with every issue and if that continues I will keep it going in 2015. If the response drops off a lot I might take a year off from doing them monthly.

     And everything everything depends on if I find a job somewhere. All schedules of releases will change then because that will take seat one in whats important because a mans got to pay his bills or at least not feel like a worthless part of society.

     Ok, lets get out of here before I get too emo.

Update On Books In My Future

Brain Leakage from Vegetarianism to Writing to Neighbors

     Puss From Facebook:

     I'm a bad person because I anger people? Ok, here. I think Vegetarianism is mainly a white privileged mindset when it comes to food. I think there should be limits to how long you can draw unemployment. I think its a shame that most churches don't get the attention they deserve for the hate groups that they are. The worst thing that happen to many people who lived after The Revolutionary War was us winning. Banning any word is a stupid shit idea. Oh, and don't tell anyone but I've touched another mans penis, I guess we can't be friends now.

     The only thing I will say on the whole Colbert Report blow up is a question. Why aren't all these people so pissed off about the Colbert segment also really pissed every time the Redskins have a game on TV? People are attacking him and the show and not going after the real racism that he was addressing.Its internet distraction bullshit and the way most people handle the discussion of issues these days. They really can’t defend their racism so they say look over here instead. All of this tells me a couple things. Racism is fine in America as long as tackling it wont hurt my FOOTBALL and its fine as long as its against Native Americans.

     So many people, including myself, see the Affordable Care Act overall as a good thing but many are just tired because of what Florida has done with not expanding Medicaid. A friend told me the other day "The Florida government has basically said go ahead and die so we can make a point." I have to be honest and say I'm starting to feel the same way. You don't want to think politicians want people to die to make a point but it starts to feel that way. Tragic that the circumstances of what state you live in will decide life and death.

Just cut 4k words out of something and that never gets easy. Still feels a little like failure but time to get on with things.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 21

I'm up at 2am writing. I could be up at 2m planning the destruction of every thing within my touch. THREE CHEERS FOR DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR!

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 21

Today was a shit bag day so tonight move on and get stuff done

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 21

Really love writing right now more than I ever have. Doing monthly releases is teaching me so much. Might be stupid but I like the learning

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 22

It's the night before a release because I'm sick, coffee at 2am, thinking about taking my clothes off walking into ocean Douglas Adams style

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 22

I just had the top half of a double root canal break off. Lucky I didnt swallow it because it has two small screws sticking out.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 22

I need a couple hundred beers now.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 23

Im just going to sit outside and write in a notebook while listening to Set Fire To The Rain and everything else can be fucked.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 23

Mar was talking to me and all of a sudden "Squirrel!"

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 23

"You are my master and I loove you"

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 23

Me"Im starting to feelings, I need another beer" Mar"Feelings are hard"

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 23

Beer, why the hate?

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 23

Friend took me for drinks as a distraction. Worked but headache now.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 23

Now Im doing what any sane person should do when finding themselves in a bad spot, watching Doctor Who.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

My fav answer from writers when it comes to not writing diverse characters is "I'm afraid I wont do it right" Well, in fact that is a cowardly way to write and also research.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

If you make a mistake. Take in the words of others and learn from it.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

I'm not happy about the change from Kitty Pride being the lead character in Days Of Future Past to Wolverine but I understand it.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

I'm channeling my time in Philosophy classes in what I'm writing today so its long winded, uses big words, and says absolutely nothing.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

Projects are the painkillers for poor writers. Just added a second poetry collection release for 2014. One in June and then another in Oct

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

TMNT, ice cream kitty? This episode is twisted and great.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

"Smell the cheese!" I love this show.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

"You're my hero, and you taste so good"

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

It was really good. I didn't think I'd like this show as much as I do. Can't wait until I get season one from the library.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

Been reading up on a lot of local apartments and many are saying cats must be declawed. Thats fucking bullshit and cruel.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

And many are using outside companies to overcharge for water, sewer, and such.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

And I live in a state that protects companies over people at every turn.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

Looking through public domain image. The mindlessness of it is keeping me from screaming.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

Im making a cake at 9pm because the rest of the world can kiss my ass and cant have any of my cake.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

Chocolate yellow cake with creamy frosting. Asshole neighbors cant have any. The fuckshit complex people, none for them. Only us.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

I hate noisy neighbors with the white hot hatred of eating a whole cake.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 24

Said it before and I'll say it again. I don't think most people are good. I do think the good people outshine the bad ones by miles though.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

Love when someone blasting their music until almost 3am and when you bang on their door they act like sorry man, didn't know it was so loud.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

It's 3am. One, yes, very loud. Two, doesn't matter IT'S 3FUCKINGam. And I'll add a Three in 3 Scarface posters in one living room, lame.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

I could be friends with a murder. A serial killer for that matter. But if you think its ok to blast music at all hours. I don't like you.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

I'm so pissed off my head is pounding and heart racing. I don't know if the music has totally stopped or I'm just pumped with anger.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

Friend"People talk about going to jail for free healthcare but no one ever seriously thinks about it." *I raise my hand*

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

I watching The Bob Newhart Show today so I can hear Edna Krabappel's voice while writing.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

Talk of privilege of any kind is twisted back to saying people are attacking someone. It's a bullshit cowardly defense really.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

People want this convo to crumble into a spam war so the real issues are never talked about in detail to get to the real problem

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

Reminder: Talking about white privilege isn't saying all white people are racist.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

Talking male privilege isn't saying all men are evil.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

Talking about first world problems isn't saying your life problems don't matter.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

That response is showing your stupid.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

Just heard back from a job I thought I had locked up. Was even told it was basically mine but nope. Fucking shit.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

So this is what a breaking point looks like?

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

Friend"Is writing a book hard?" Me"Not the way I do it" Mar"You ripped that from Oz" Me"Also even a shitly written book is hard"

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

Mar"I wont wait for you if you go to jail." Me"I wont wait for you in jail."

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 25

Reading DMZ and watching Scott & Bailey because, you know, I needed some cheerful things.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 26

Anxiety has been bothering me all day. A feeling that if I don't keep moving the world will cave in so I'm working on six projects at once.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 26

While working watching The Secret of Crickley Hall. It has Arya Stark and the T.A.R.D.I.S in it.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 26

I haven't even gotten through the first episode of American Horror Story. I'm already more interested in The Secret of Crickley Hall.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 26

American Horror Story to me seems like it trying too hard to be edge and dark and sometimes that's all it has in its moments.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 26

After a cucumber sandwich for lunch I changed my viewing to Meatballs. I haven't seen this since the 1980's

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 26

Will start doing 30 Day Shred first thing in the morning to say sunshine to our asshole neighbors. Might get into shape also.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 26

I'm embracing the darkside of the force.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 26

If youre on the first floor blasting music I'm going to be hit with the desire to dance. Also pick up and drop litter bag.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 26

This exercise through hate of those downstairs might be the breakthrough workout trend of the season.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 27

That Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle trailer....so humorless, basic, and boring looking.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 27

I try to give stuff a chance but that didn't give me anything to say this TMNT has a hope of being good.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 27

Presenting stuff to a wider audience outside its fan base is one thing but I don't know... That had nothing TMNT about it.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 27

And I know people will say the original TMNT comics weren't like the cartoons...

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 27

Ok, the original Batman used guns. There is good change and then there's Michael Bay.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 27

Even though I can enjoy the Transformers movies, though they don't have the spirit of the source materials, it's because it's giant robots.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 27

A TMNT story is still a street level story. It's a human story with humor and character development. Doesn't any of that ring Michael Bay?

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Mar 27

A friend"If you had Michael Bay as a second unit director doing the action and put him with another director for everything else. Hit movie"

     My Tumblr Spit:

Mar showing off her Expecto Patronum bleach pen shirt. She found the design for it online. She told me at first to cut her head off the picture before posting but I told her that wouldn’t be right because that would make her a YA novel cover.

I made the shirt below to cheer myself up inspired by my favorite zombie book This Is Not A Test by Courtney Summers.

Mar cheered me up by writing this on the mirror while I was in the shower. Take a guess what it said.

     This has been a very fuck you week for me. Things started with a email from someone who was part of a community I use to be a part of online and then went to instant messages. I hadn’t heard from this person in years and never was huge friends with them online but it was nice hearing from someone from that time since I destroyed most of my friendships from that time when I disappeared from contact during a breakdown. The conversation was good for the most part until I got this message “Of all those talented people its too bad you ended up the one who failed the most.”

     And then the next day in an email from someone I use to go to school with and was pretty close with at one time responding to something I wrote on Facebook about finding a nice dinner jacket I liked and buying it even though it was a women’s jacket. “I really hope you weren’t serious about wearing a woman’s dinner jacket. I’d hate to think bad things about you Brian.”

     And another case of a email from a former friend, this one responding to me saying me and Mar don’t want kids. “I think you’re being selfish.” Me”You know what’s selfish…. listen my choice or Mar’s to have or not to have kids is our fucking business but if you want to be a asshole in high waters lets swim. Who is being selfish me for not wanting to have kids because of the world we live in, my financial situation, and the probability of my genes passing on a lot of the health problems I’ve had all my life or you? You have the money to have four kids and good for you and them but you could have also adapted a child already in the world. You could have adapted two. You could have adapted three. So fuck you and your self righteousness.”

    And when I thought man that part of the week just sucked ass here came the weekend as half of a double root canal I had a few years ago decided to brake off.

     For a long time the screws were stabbing into my gums every time I chewed so this is in a way better. Still hurts like a fucking fucker fucker. The second half of the double root canal is still there but I don’t think it’s suppose to function on its own like this. I check on getting the rest of it pulled and will be selling off a bunch of stuff soon to try and get that done but for now its over the counter meds and trying to find ways of distracting myself.

      I few years ago, seems like so many, but was probably just a few, but a few years ago I had a breakdown. Things in life just tumbled out of control and I checked out. I deleted my online presence which was one of the few places I had to turn for help in a purely self destructive action. I cut off contact with all friends- losing most forever. I stopped paying bills = the main reason I’m in unbreachable debt. I mention this now because I’m feeling the same thoughts now. I want to delete my Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, and all other sites. Stop writing. Give up. Find a hole to crawl into. I’ve been unemployed going on ten years. I know to some that seems unbelievable but I’ve tried everywhere and anywhere. I left my old job because they were doing illegal things, things I thought were immoral, but I also can’t get unemployment because it only works if you get fired. Great system. I have health issues out the asshole but mainly I need to have an operation to correct my jaw that’s been needed for years and the main reason my teeth are all slowly dying. Pain is starting to become a shouting in my ears that I can’t turn off, ever. I’m tired of being worthless to those I love. I’m not suicidal. Not suicidal. I’m just ready to stop, to quit, because I don’t know what else to do. That last job I spoke of I begged them about a year ago to take me back. I went to them and in front of others because that’s how my former boss wanted it and I begged to get my job back and they laughed. I can’t get healthcare because I have no job and I live in a state were the government has decided to make a political point and not expand medicaid so screwed and screwed. I finally broke down and tried to get full medicaid but no there also. What else can I do? I can keep fighting, keep surviving, but surviving for survival only? Survival when I’m adding nothing to the whole or more selfishly to the me? They say depression lies and it does but it also uses hard truth within those lies and that’s why its so hard to fight. Something will happen, the days will keep coming and things might turn around or they might not. What I do know is this isn’t easy. I’m at a point where I don’t care what people think as I talk about how things are in my life.

Brian Leakage from abandoned buildings and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Perler Beads

*unedited views from the past week of the brain puke I placed into the hands of the internet.

     Leakage on the face of Facebook:

Why more abandoned buildings aren't able to be reused for other business and housing I don't know. Well, I do. Money. Companies can write off abandoned and unused properties at a profit than letting others use them. There should be laws that either pay with tax breaks to companies to let unused properties be used for housing and small business outreach or governments should tell them all these empty houses and abandoned places either use them or give them up. Where I live there is constant construction on housing and small shopping areas and there are also tons of empty housing and empty shopping buildings.

As companies like Netflix kneel before companies like Comcast and their prices rise they will learn that they are such a big business now because of their low prices. They are alternative to high priced cable bills. Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube seem to forget sometimes that a large part of their success was that they weren't the failures of TV, a different approach, and different way of thinking, but the more they try to be TV online, the more they will fall through the same holes.

So this person out jogging was lucky she wasn't raped and beaten up by police?

To be fair you could yell assholes to every state in the country right now as it seems everyone is just losing their minds right now with racist, sexist, homophobic, anti intelligence bullshit but we can pick on Georgia because its slowly moving up the charts.

I don't miss watching sports on TV because I have the John Green FIFA videos

Florida... Florida, come here. Come on. Just a word. Don't worry, not going to yell. Your making Texas look smart again Florida. We have talked about before Florida. Now go into a corner and write I WILL NOT BE STUPID AND MAKE TEXAS LOOK SMART AGAIN 82144557888 times

Marriage isn't about love. Marriage never has until modern times. Now before my married friends go after me this isn't a personal attack on your choice to marry. My opinion here. But marriage has in the past and still is today a financial agreement. In the past it was basically a slave trade off of children for lands, goods, or money, and now its a financial agreement because of the benefits it offers couples in some aspects. If you want to say marriage isn't about love and it isn't a secular belief then take the benefits it holds away. Benefits that in some places allow tax breaks or breaks in rent or the right to make choices for the person you love or even visit them in a hospital.

I have jackhole neighbors. Half are FIT fucks who cant even cross the street and the other half are fake rednecks.

Was looking forward to watching newest TMNT series on Hulu Plus but found out it just haw S 2 starting with ep 3. Going to watch anyways.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

One of Hulu Plus things is shows as they come out but the way people like to marathon shows kind of makes Netflix a better choice for some.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

I didn't know if I'd like the animation of TMNT because CGI shows have been crap of late. Talking to you Green Lantern. But I like.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

Watching the Barry Allen episode of Arrow.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

That's for all those people who say I'm not doing the internet right and need to promote stuff more.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

Trying to catch up on Arrow on Hulu Plus while writing, though I missed some episodes they don't have on here.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

watching Caper as a migraine has taken over my night.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

writing while watching Doctor Who: The Sun Makers

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

The Sun Makers is one of those stories people yell WORST THING EVER about when its just a story with good ideas that didn't hit the mark.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

Doctor Who fans have a long history of yelling WORST THING EVER a lot without really thinking about it.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

By the way I'd rather see a story fail in an attempt to do something different than succeed in doing the standard.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

8 more pages I need to work on tonight and in the back now Doctor Who: Underworld.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

I have no idea what Underworld is about? What its suppose to be about? Or whats happening?

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

I can usually follow a story while writing but this??? I haven't a clue besides slave mining and the reason Time Lords don't interfere?

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

Anyways back to my own story that makes little to no sense and leaves people shaking their heads.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

Now Invasion Of Time. With this story I do know whats going on and why. Though some of it is crap, like the ending. I love the beginning.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 21

Though the marrying off of Leela still makes me angry The Invasion Of Time is one of my favorite Doctor Who stories.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 22

Finished tonights writing by del 2000 words. Might use them later. Some good crazy in there.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 22

And my migraine returned the second I turned off the computer.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 22

Tonight we are crafting with Perler Beads. Mar is making Minecraft stuff and I'm doing 80's thingees.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 23

Went to Greek Fest today. Good food and music.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 23

Now watching Game Of Thrones and crafting.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 23

Not much worse than being seated in the bathroom and the power goes out.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 24

Waking up with a migraine and asthma attack. What a way to start a day.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 24

Later today I'm doing some daywork cleaning mold out of a house.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 24

Will be wearing a mask but God. Going to be a fun day.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 24

Daywork mold clean up at a house was quick and easy. I just had one cabinet area to work on. Will see if asthma goes into overdrive later.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 24

These people were better than most in Florida. Usually all anyone does is wipe down with bleach and then paint over.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 24

And that was the weekly police visit to our apartment complex. Getting it in early this week.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 24

I want the WWE channel but wonder if its worth $9.99 a month with live PPVs and shows?

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 24

Mar"What other crafting can you do?" Me"Crotchhatching" Mar"I just dont know about you"

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 24

Me"I thought that ad said The Pangea Hotel" Mar"Sometimes I think you're trolling me"

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 24

3 out of 5 stars for Batman- Detective Comics: Emperor Penguin

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

Mar woke me up, put a peanut butter taco in my hand, and shoved me out the door to do some early morning laundry.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

Or am I still asleep? Why is Black Hole Sun soundtracking? Oh, that would be my Wonder Woman earbuds in my ears playing Soundgarden.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

Mar"What are you singing badly?" Me"Dont Stop Me Now" Mar"ITS ON RANDOM!" *we do the zombie beat down dance*

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

I got bored with the Walking Dead comic right after the prison and the show after season one. Zombies as a whole are very dull to me.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

My thing with Walking Dead is its base concept. It's a show not about zombies but about people. That borrrrres me.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

Realistic fiction tends to bore me. I don't consume much r fiction because I want to escape. Walking Dead is a masked r fiction

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

Plus so many people in these types of stores do VERY stupid things and its never exposed for the most part which frustrates me.

rian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

That's what I mean. Why hell would anyone listen to this guy? I mean really, my cracked out neighbors have more leadership skills

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

To your conv earlier today. It's Don, Leo, Rapl, and Mi with Michelangelo being a character I haven't liked much at all.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

People got mad at me once for saying I would have followed the Governor before I would have followed Rick.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

I think in ways Mikey seems like a crotch for weak writing in some cases in the history of the characters.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

In a pure survial sitution which is what people hold WD up to be I would have followed Merle or the Governor any day over Rick.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

My survival skills don't include spelling :)

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

 I started watching on Hulu Plus though only have in the middle of season two on. I've liked so far.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

Her or Daryl or even Carol but not Rick. Carl more than Rick even. Carl's my favorite in the comics.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

Youre right about Andrea. I just love that Carl is way more logical and badass than his dad in the comics.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 25

watching The Sarah Jane Adventures. I've only seen season one.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 26

Something I just said to a friend, "You can change things when you become President Snow."

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 26

Was just sitting watching TV when I saw a big spider crawling up my leg. I didnt even feel it. Holy crapple burgers!

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 26

I dont like spiders be them big or small.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 26

So much for sleeping tonight.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 27

The more I watch it, the more I like the new TMNT show. Watching the first Casey Jones in action ep right now.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 27

The action is good and this ep had a really good chase scene.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 28

I think if I woke up in a zoo I would notice right away I wasnt home because the neighbors would be better.

Brian Williams ‏@hangofwednesday  Feb 28

watching Parks & Rec: Season 6 to calm my hatred for humanity.

     Leakage through the eyes of Tumblr:

Last night was a crafting  night. Mar made Minecraft stuff with Perler Beads while I made a 80’s themed coaster.

While crafting we watched Around The World In 80 Days With Micheal Palin.

A Minecraft sword Mar made.

The rest of her nights work.

The coaster I made for the office. I put a real disc under it to make it more solid and play up the real/art thing.

Mar sent me a rant she had to get out of her system after we saw The Lego Movie. She said I could post it on here.

      "I have a bit of a rant today.  I finally got to see the Lego movie.  And it was fantastic!  It was a lot of fun and really creative.  I hadn’t been able to go see it right away (because of stuff and things)
     but in the couple of weeks that it has been out I have had many conversations with my kids and their parents about the movie. Mostly it’s been about how AWESOME it is. Legos are kind of a big deal. But one of the more, shall we say, odd comments that I have heard numerous times is that the Lego movie has a decidedly anti-business/anti-capitalism subliminal message that is indoctrinating our children. Because…drumroll…the bad guy’s name is Lord Business.
     Now, I really couldn’t comment at first when these things were said because I hadn’t seen the movie. So I would smile politely and say I had to see it. But I was put off by the statement. How can Lego (think about it, the insanely expensive toy) be anti-capitalism? The movie is essentially an hour and a half long commercial for the toys (even we “adults” left the theater thinking “Hey, I need Legos!”). How in the world could the Lego movie in its insane glorification of consumerism, in fact, be anti-capitalism? The thing is that there is a too literal reading the villain’s name.
     The thing is, if you watch the movie, you can see right away what “Lord Business” is a reference too (and it basically hits your over the head by the feels-inducing end). Business refers to Legos not being a toy with which you play. They are serious business, life like modeling tools (to one builder). You are supposed to use Legos to build. They are not an imaginative toy. Essentially, the Lego movie is about conformity vs. individuality, structure vs. creativity, and rules vs. free thought.
     As somebody that works with children, the way I saw it was that it boils down to structured play vs. creative play. Essentially Lord Business is telling builders that if you don’t build following guidelines you are “messing everything up” and the heroes are showing you that you can build whatever you want (“SPACESHIP!!” did I mention that Charlie Day is in there???). The heroes are showing you that, yes, in fact Legos are a toy for play. For super fun, exciting, imagine anything you want play.
     This is actually a huge challenge that kids face right now. With a greater emphasis on quantifiable, measurable educational outcomes kids are being forced away from creative thought processes. Kids are being told more and more that their play has to be productive or that they are not “playing right”. Creative play is a valuable developmental tool for children (as well as a valuable bonding experience for families) and I think that is the real message there. Not anti-capitalism. Children need to exercise their imaginations.
     Also, without creative, imaginative thought you wouldn’t have human space flight, 3D printed prosthetic limbs, or electricity supplying windmills made out of junk. So that’s the big message here. If you want smart, forward thinking kids you have to let them imagine. To paraphrase Neil deGrasse Tyson, let your kids break stuff. Let their curiosity run wild.
     The thing is, when kids are engaging in imaginative play they are really up to serious business. They are building (and destroying) exciting new worlds and characters that less imaginative people just can’t see. Play is serious business all on its own.
