Under The Training Book: Talking To Mar about flavors and poops
An example of morning conversations and some of the things that come out of my mouth which puts Mar in a state of having to hear these things before going to work and just facing the world. It's hard for her dealing with my insanity and then the worlds.
Mar-“I threw up corn, apples, and peas last night.”
Me-“So a melody of flavors?”
Mar-“no.”
Me-“No right?”
Mar-“Nope. It’s medley.”
Me-“Same difference.”
Mar-“STOP SAYING THAT!!!”
Our conversations in text messages can be even more insane and are like this when one of us is sick and the other one cares so much :)
Mar: i'm bored
Me: dude, I got the poops bad
Me: really bad
Me: Its probably to do with my nerves and the migraine I had all yesterday and last night.
Mar: you need to make sure you drink water
Me: I'll try........BUT ITTTS WATER
Mar: no buts
Mar: hehehe, butts
Me: oH, go read a book
Mar: blah blah blah
Me: But I'm also craving hamburgers, fries, and a soda. Funny ant it?
Mar: "I kind of like eating shit"
Mar: that's you
Mar: Nick Frost
Mar: In The Worlds End
Me: One, that's a compliment and two, watch it or I'll stuff a birthday cake down the toilet.
Mar: "fuck off, you big lamp"
Me:
Mar: you do that
Me: I would make a good sad, old, pathetic, man who still is holding on to the last strings of the thread that his life has meaning.
Mar: you are so emo
Me: I POOPED AGAIN!!!
Mar: Lunchbox
Me:
Our text or private message conversations almost always include memes these days. I like it, it's a quick way to be a smart ass.

Under The Training Book: Talking With Mar and Pandora, Continents, and a Bingo
Saturday we spent most of the day reading and listening to music on Pandora. At one point Mar was dancing around singing, "Whats cooler than being cool, ice cold!" My day was golden already at that point. It had to only get better from there.
We needed to go out to run errands but first decided to stop off at Denny's for breakfast since neither of us remembered to eat before leaving the apartment. I go to Denny's BECAUSE its a old people hangout. These youngins that were there were just too loud.
Damn you young people, get off my yard and stop with the louds, my ears, my ears.
Denny's is also a good place to eat all your feelings in one sitting.
After eating and running errands we got back home and were playing Scrabble and listening to more Pandora when Ready To Die: The Remaster came on and the day was cranked up another notch. Mar was playing DJ using Pandora and for the most part wouldn't let me have the remote. It was a power trip of Pope proportions.
I was cooking as she had moved the soundtrack to a, And Then There Was X "Up in here" feel.
But the lady had to take a bathroom break and I jumped into the living room to quickly pick some things to add to the shuffle.
Me-"I added Outlaw Country to Pandora shuffle."
Mar-"I should have never woke you this morning.".
Me-"Mom brought me into the world and you into the day. Blame lies with you"
She responded by What's The Story Morning Glory?ed this place and we both jump to one side and started singing.
Music is a good thing.
Mar almost died laughing when I said, "I had this on tape" when a AC/DC song came on.
As we both did our things Pandora played Avril Lavigne, Black Sabbath, Kelly Clarkson, and Hank Williams among so many others.
Voice from bathroom when Santeria came on, "DONT SKIP IT !"
I love that lady.
With appetizers of grilled tomato humus and crackers we went back to playing Scrabble.
Me-"My letters suck. I have nothing but vowels, no continents."
Mar-"Consonants hillbilly."
Me-"Those too."
More music of Maroon 5, Johnny Cash, Pearl Jam, and others.
Mar got a Bingo to start a game with WHEATEN.
"Wheaten!!!"
After that I went back to the kitchen to finish dinner as Sherlock Holmes: Game Of Shadows played replaced the music but we continued to play Scrabble during the movie. By the end we had eaten eel sauce BBQ chicken, smashed potatoes, and corn on the cob.
Tin Universe #12 The Tin Universe series that started it all...all being one novella, one novel, and about nine short stories, returns this month. And a plus it's free. Ever month you get free me to plug into your brain holes.

Under The Training Book: Smaug, Faux documentation, and Delusions Of Grandeur
I have a couple of things to say about The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and almost all of them contain the words "really" and "long."
I enjoyed the movie but it was really long. I would have normally needed two pee breaks and a snack break because these days every fucking movie is really long but there is a big difference between other director's films being really long and Peter Jackson's films being really long but since my bladder was empty and we just ate brownies before heading to the theater I sat through the whole thing uninterrupted, and again, it was long.
Though, BLADDER ACCOMPLISHMENT ACHIEVED!
It was also a movie that very much felt like the middle movie of three and that isn't a good thing. The things I spotted that suffered from the stretching into three movies was the town stuff and the dragon stuff.
And that's the talkingish dragon ever in the ever of ever.
Today To-Do List will be dishes, putting stuff in the slow cookers for slow cooked bbq chicken and slow cooked Rosemary beef stew, do a bunch of laundry, clean out vacuum, vacuum up all the glitter from Sundays gifts giving, and write some shit.
The Interstellar trailer was stock footage, boring voice over, and two seconds of film, and on my don't see list already. I would rant about not liking Nolan and how he's full of himself as a film maker but I've done that enough in the past so I wont even mention it.
BUSTED! Mar was caught crafting when we were suppose to be cleaning.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer was ok, but whats this about and whats going on? *Note they had this trailer before the Hobbit and it looked better on the big screen and I spotted more things I missed watching it on the Nook but it still looks like it might be a mess of trying to weave everything together. I didn't see the first movie on the screen but not because I didn't want to. If I have the cash at the time I will see this one at the theater.
Then I got something thrown at me. Mar-"Where's your cleaning, off interneting trailers and you talk about me."
The Jupiter Ascending trailer is pretty, very pretty. A very pretty that will be another dvd from the library viewing.
The only trailer I watched yesterday morning that was more cringe worthy than Noah was I, Frankenstein. Both seemed to be over thinking all over the place.
There pics of my not cleaning. More stuff thrown at me. Mar-"Your Tweets are the evidence dumbass"
Out of context quote: Mar-"I like the faux primary source documentation on that tweet you favorited." Me"*stares blankly*"
Random Twitter Thought:
I have like five friends in nursing school. I hope they know I might be sending them pictures of moles when they graduate... because I will.
Since my next book is coming out on my birthday I'm telling the hundreds of friends I have to buy it in lieu of a gift. #delusionsofgrandeur
Speaking of which. Now for some shameless self-promotion.

Yesterday morning with a Special Christmas Sunday Movie Night ahead of us; while I should have been cleaning, I watched a lot of movie trailers online. Here's some quick short comments after viewing them:
The Godzilla trailer was blah but I'm interested because its Godzilla. A dvd from the library watch.The Interstellar trailer was stock footage, boring voice over, and two seconds of film, and on my don't see list already. I would rant about not liking Nolan and how he's full of himself as a film maker but I've done that enough in the past so I wont even mention it.

From the Tin Universe Store:
Above is the 4th poster I made for myself as inspiration. I created these and printed them out and had them around my desk while writing this year. A lot of it is puffing up my own chest but that's needed sometimes. I decided to also make them available in the store because you never know, they might inspire someone else also.
There are also a lot more Tin Universe materials in that store, many featuring the covers to my new book coming out on the 22nd of this month. It will be available for download on my Smashwords store for $1.00 per download. Like I've said before if you buy something from one of my stories I'll email you a PDF of Tin Universe Middle Grade Series #1 for free. All you need to do is put STORE ORDER RECEIPT in the subject box of an email with a copy of your order confirmation attached and send to hangofwednesday@gmail.com
If you are interested in being part of the street team to get the word out go here and learn more.

THE TITLE IS: FRIDGES ENOUGH FOR ME
I'm make this short since I'm not feeling that well today.
After a interesting night of being sick and others being sick, Someone casting down some nasty stuff on some Christmas decorations, and me spending the early morning hours watching a, As Time Goes On, marathon with the two sets I have three other sets on leave from the library.
Then I spent the rest of the morning and early day watching, That 70's Show, on DVD with Robin and I am slowly making it through the tons of stacks of notebooks of stories, moving them over onto the computer.
During the day I went over to the complex offices and got a copy of our lease and also told them about our leaking refrigrator. They came over to look at it and said they needed to replace it. They did so. And now we have a new one but I got in trouble for throwing away some things that were not spoiled yet. Hey, I can't be left alone I guess.
Then when Mar got home we went out for Sonic, I almost throw Robin through a wall when I was trying to hit the bed with her, and surfed the net for a bit.
That was my day. Loads of the high adrenline life style I live.
Remember not knowing who you are is no excuse for not being who you are,

THE TITLE IS:ONCE I WAS LOST BUT THEN I FOUND MYSELF and it felt good...
bI have not spoken here much about writing of late. Really to be honest I have not been doing much writing the past two months. Just recently though I came into contact with an artist and we will be working on a project together within my company structure, hopefully several projects together and that has given me new energy towards my own work on the book also. I am currently finishing up the 2nd Draft of the book which should be finished before the end of the month. Then it will be turned over to an editor who hopefully will tare it apart in good ways so I can put it back together and get it out into the hands of readers.
Nothing new to announce company wise either, except that the first project we should be producing appears in my eyes to be something special. But that project is in the early early planning stages but talking to the artist involved has me nothing but excited about seeing it start to mature into the actual production stage of things.
I had the weekend off from the pay the rent job and spent it for the most part spending way too much money. Stops off at BooksAMillion, Hot Topic, and other places had me a little tapped for cash when you throw in business spending also. Got the first bath of character sketches from a artist I'm working with and also put aside money for an editor when I find the right one for the book. Wave picked up what she needed for a costume she will be wearing, and not just for Halloween but that is for her to reveal. I was sad though because besides going as a vampire there really is not much of a choice for what to dress up as for someone without any front teeth. I was even thinking of going as Doctor Who but I don't know. Just something else to make me depressed about being a toothless wonder. Cry me a river later, I know, Poor me.
Speaking of crying. Paris Hilton. Enough said. Here is the truth. I enjoyed seeing that and so did a lot of you. Admit it. We hate human suffering except when it hits those we do not like very much. It has to be a terrible experience for her being she has never went through something like this before that is that much out of her control and that sheriff did her no favors. He pulled her out of jail and put her at home where she probably felt safe as most of us do at home but then she was jerked back to jail. The person I hate in all of this is that sheriff. Paris deserved what she got but she did not deserve to be put in this struggle between figures of power them being the sheriff and the judge. Hopefully she will come out of this a better person but I do not really belive that. Sorry just my view. Here is my advice, Paris at least have someone drive you places. Hell, if I had her money my ass would never drive myself anywhere. The main difference would be me having a driver driving me around in a pick up truck instead of a limo. Not that I usually drive anywhere not but for work but that is because my truck is a piece of shit.
Oh, and as for comments left here and elsewhere.
Mar,
You really should not talk about such sinful things. Go ask for forgiv....Sorry, could not even complete that. Johnny is hot but come on Orlando is just a classic Hollywood screen idol.
Robbin,
Glade I did something that made you feel funny in your pants. And I do belive that maybe the most non meaning to be but turned out to be perverted thing I have ever written.
I haven't purchased the GGP's CD. I thought I would give them a shout out so to speak anyways. I plan to but keep forgetting every time I get paid and before you know it, no money left. :(
John needs to update his site. His fans are demanding it! :) John needs to ready this blog because I need fans :(
Is there any news outside Paris? Lets see.
Turkey Shells Northern Iraq
Tension remains high on the border of Iraq and Turkey. The Iraqi Foreign Ministry has accused Turkey of intensively shelling Kurdish areas in northern Iraq. The shelling reportedly caused wide fires and large amounts of damage. Meanwhile four Turkish soldiers were killed in a roadside bomb 45 miles north of the border.
Turkey
Who else sees this as one of the signs of the whole region turning into one large cluster fuck? Thanks George, grateful to you for making the world safer for all of us.
Computer has locked up again. And once again on Neil Gaiman's site. I think this computer has a thing for him. That or it just loves reading about his new dog.
The computer is now unstuck but it closed down all my browser windows while doing so. Be right back, have to open up a lot of things again I was working on.
While the computer is running slower than my brain early in the morning I will mention that starting this Sunday I will start posting reviews here of books, movies, and such I have watched, read, or such. I wish to start doing this for two fold reasons. One, it will stretch some writing muscles I usually tend not to work out that often and two, I think it might be a fun way to introduce some people to some things I enjoy. Ok, with that being said do not look for any New York Times sort of reviews. One these reviews will be honest, the Times hasn't been that in years and these will be my spoiler free thoughts of things I have recently purchased, borrowed, five fingered, or checked out at the library....ok, no five fingering action but it fit in the list I was making and I was on a role. I hope everyone enjoys them though and I hope you find something to enjoy through me writing them. The first review will be on Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman: Derailed by Peter David. See you on Sunday for the review. Hope you enjoy.
'Gay Bomb'
**Shakes head** **Bangs head against desk** Ok, I think I'm officially going nuts. Did I just read that. I found this on Warren Ellis site.
I think I will stop the online surfing before I run into something that really pisses me off. Plus, I want to work on the book tonight. Maybe hit at least three chapters before the night ends.

AND THE TITLE IS: THE PENGUIN AND THE FAT MAN
Work is really draining me dead. I have put in for this weekend off but if they call me I swear I may go off on someone if we have no shows like last weekend. And you know what? The work itself is not what is killing me, it is having to hold so many peoples, i e, we are talking adults, hands as they do their jobs to make sure they do their jobs. The past month I have been thinking of some business ventures I have been approached about. At pay the rent type work I just do not know where my head is at right now.
From Work Whining To Responses To Comments Left:
Again, You do not get a response Mar because you are mean. M - E….oh?… - A - N. MEAN!
Geek Speak:
Grindhouse's McGowan Got Leg Up
I really want to see this movie or movies as it may be. I love Rose McGowan too. The only reason I ever watched Charmed. Though that series was only a few ideas and a couple better writers from being just as good as Buffy and I believe Buffy was one of the best television shows ever I think they just decided we are just going to do entertainment and fun and nothing is wrong with that. But it could have been better. Did I mention I love Rose McGowan?
Cover for final 'Potter' revealed
This cover says one thing. We are not telling.
Back To Reality:
I did the fall asleep on the keyboard thing last night. Though it was really more head bobbing while trying to stay awake writing in front of the laptop. I was dead tired last night and fell asleep in front of the screen trying to get some writing done. I think I only got about 500 words done. I will have to go back and see tonight if I wrote anything good while dozing off.
And In The News:
'Meth Candy'
Is it Meth Cotton Candy? Now that would be cool. Why didn’t any drug dealers think of this sooner? Oh, yea, dead or stonned out of their minds. I see.
WHO agrees HIV circumcision plan
I just do not see how this will really help much? Sorry, don’t see it, maybe someone can explain it to me? I see the real issue in most countries and how it spread so fast in this country as a social political one. Though with all the dumb fuck stuff the Bu...Mr. Presidents Administration is doing to try and fight against HIV and AIDS this does sound…well, sound. And I’m stuff pissed my parents went snippy snippy on me when I was a baby.
Why do hated bands top the charts?
Because people like different things because…wait for it….wait…People are different. Fucking critic created bullshit.
Judge Dismisses Rumsfeld Torture Suit
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for the torture of prisoners in US custody overseas. The American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights First had brought the case on behalf of nine former prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan. The suit said Rumsfeld had tacitly or directly authorized a series of abuses including beatings, stabbings, shocks, burnings and sexual humiliation. In his dismissal ruling, U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan acknowledged the men had been tortured. But he said they do not have constitutional rights to seek redress and that government officials are immune.
Democracy NOW!
Our government officials are immune. Immune from their own humanity. I just want to spin my chair in circles yelling, “BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!” Until I get dizzy. Maybe then I will understand how our nation has let these people bring its foundations down around us without much resistance at all from its people.
Business Use of Terror-Watch List Shutting Out Innocent Customers
A civil rights group is reporting an increasing number of innocent people are being denied transactions by businesses checking their names against the Treasury Department’s terrorist watch list. The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights says credit bureaus, health insurers, car dealerships, employers and landlords have denied business to customers bearing similar names to those on the six-thousand plus list. In one case, a California man was denied a home loan after his credit report flagged his middle name, Hassan, as an alias for one of Saddam Hussein’s sons.
Democracy NOW!
This is like not allowing me a beer because my last name is Williams and you are afraid I will fall off a rocky cliff somewhere. That was for all the Hank Williams Jr. fans out there. I know you are there. Right there sitting with that poster of David Allan Cole behind you.
Gonzales Bolts Press Conference Following Attorney Questions
And finally in Chicago, a promised fifteen-minute press conference with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales turned to less than three minutes Tuesday as Gonzales ducked questions about the firing of the eight US attorneys. Gonzales left the podium after taking just three questions.
Democracy NOW!
‘What? I didn’t know they would ask me about those things? They said we would be talking about the start of baseball season and how they just killed Captain America.’
Hey, look. I actually did the labels this time.

I was dead tired last night and fell asleep in front of the screen trying to get some writing done. I think I only got about 500 words done. I will have to go back and see tonight if I wrote anything good while dozing off.
And In The News:
'Meth Candy'
Is it Meth Cotton Candy? Now that would be cool. Why didn’t any drug dealers think of this sooner? Oh, yea, dead or stonned out of their minds. I see.
WHO agrees HIV circumcision plan
I just do not see how this will really help much? Sorry, don’t see it, maybe someone can explain it to me? I see the real issue in most countries and how it spread so fast in this country as a social political one. Though with all the dumb fuck stuff the Bu...Mr. Presidents Administration is doing to try and fight against HIV and AIDS this does sound…well, sound. And I’m stuff pissed my parents went snippy snippy on me when I was a baby.
Why do hated bands top the charts?
Because people like different things because…wait for it….wait…People are different. Fucking critic created bullshit.
Judge Dismisses Rumsfeld Torture Suit
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for the torture of prisoners in US custody overseas. The American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights First had brought the case on behalf of nine former prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan. The suit said Rumsfeld had tacitly or directly authorized a series of abuses including beatings, stabbings, shocks, burnings and sexual humiliation. In his dismissal ruling, U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan acknowledged the men had been tortured. But he said they do not have constitutional rights to seek redress and that government officials are immune.
Democracy NOW!
Our government officials are immune. Immune from their own humanity. I just want to spin my chair in circles yelling, “BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!” Until I get dizzy. Maybe then I will understand how our nation has let these people bring its foundations down around us without much resistance at all from its people.
Business Use of Terror-Watch List Shutting Out Innocent Customers
A civil rights group is reporting an increasing number of innocent people are being denied transactions by businesses checking their names against the Treasury Department’s terrorist watch list. The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights says credit bureaus, health insurers, car dealerships, employers and landlords have denied business to customers bearing similar names to those on the six-thousand plus list. In one case, a California man was denied a home loan after his credit report flagged his middle name, Hassan, as an alias for one of Saddam Hussein’s sons.
Democracy NOW!
This is like not allowing me a beer because my last name is Williams and you are afraid I will fall off a rocky cliff somewhere. That was for all the Hank Williams Jr. fans out there. I know you are there. Right there sitting with that poster of David Allan Cole behind you.
Gonzales Bolts Press Conference Following Attorney Questions
And finally in Chicago, a promised fifteen-minute press conference with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales turned to less than three minutes Tuesday as Gonzales ducked questions about the firing of the eight US attorneys. Gonzales left the podium after taking just three questions.
Democracy NOW!
‘What? I didn’t know they would ask me about those things? They said we would be talking about the start of baseball season and how they just killed Captain America.’
Hey, look. I actually did the labels this time.
Written at the pay the rent job,
