THE TITLE IS: THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

And now the Fountain Of Youth photos. And I will try this time not to spell Marsh as March but it might be a little easier this time since I do not think there was much march at this place.

Coffee keeps me safe in certain company :)



My fat butt at the entrance of the Fountain Of Youth.



They had a huge globe showing us the trips across to this place back in the olden days. It started with the begining of the planet. I was watching Mar as she was waiting and I was watching her waiting to see if they mentioned if God created the Heavens and the Earth but they did not. It would have been interesting to see if that big globe would have gotten it's ass kicked or not though.



The last of these photos are all around the place which as it turns out the best part of the trip to this spot was the walk around.













Hey, it did have a marchy spot.

THE TITLE IS: Santa Teresa De Mose

The group of pictures I'm going to show today are from Sunday. I took them so blame me if they do not look post worthy. I enjoyed this trip a lot. The sites Mar picked this time to visit was a lot better than when I picked out things last time to visit. She is also a great person to travel to historical sites with because she usualy knows a lot about them before we even go there.

Below is us on our way from the hotel after checking out and having a free breakfest. And yes that is my thumb in part of the picture. It would not be a truth grouping of tourist pictures without a thumb in one of the pictures now would it?



Our first stop of the day was Santa Teresa De Mose. Mar will probably let me know if I get anything wrong but I enjoyed learning this history that I did not know before. You should look some of this up. It is fasinating and actually shows that Florida has gone backwards in so many ways from better beginings.





Next are some beautiful pictures from the park they are working on. Most of it is march so I do not see them being able to put much more in there but we plan to return to see what is new. The visitor center I think said it would be open in March?





And below are the sights of the over building of modern Florida staining the sights of history. You may not be able to see from our throw away camera but they are building apartments and highways all around the place.





Then I took pictures of the entrance as we were leaving.



Stewey is our co-pilot. God was drunkenly late for work once again so we traveled with Stewey. Stewey and Brian together once again...Where is my martinia though?



I will post on our visit to the Fountain Of Youth later tonight and on whether I decided to jump in, in an attempt to regain my girlish figure from my youth.

THE TITLE IS: SUNSHINE STATE? SEE MY SUNSHINE ASS

I will post some photos from the St. Augustine trip over the weekend tomorrow night. We actually remembered to not only take pictures this time but also have at least one camera developed. Hell, this is big news we still haven’t had the film developed from our last trip there about a year ago. This trip was much better I think because we saw more stuff and I drove there so Mar was not as tired when we got there as before. Though I did not drive back which I really wanted to do because my leg was hurting really bad from all the walking. My body is not for the exercise as you other people call it.

Ok, now to close some windows:

Possessed Books
This would be cool if you could choose which books would make up the device, then people would never see it coming.

The Strangest Sights in Google Earth
Ok, the first time this thing catches me picking my nose I’m going to go all Dr. Evil on the satellites.

'I know I'm not a good celebrity'
I like her. One of the best of Hollywood’s young actors I think.

Neil Gaiman's tales of the mythic
It’s come to my attention that I would probably buy shoes if Neil wrote something on them. Which brings me to one of my recent purchases of these.

THE SUNDAY HANGOVER by WARREN ELLIS
I have come to the conclusion that Warren Ellis’s writing makes my head hurt and smile at the same time and I thank him for that.

ALL AGES READS: SSCC '07
For Mar.

National Stadium
See Mar, this is what I was talking about.

XRay Kiss
Cool.

Most Beautiful Award
Reminds me of the Commandos I travel with from time to time.

Gadget for my addiction
I like, I like.

Universcale
Robbin this is for you.

ROBBIN DO NOT CLICK HERE!!!
If you did it’s your own fault!

Famed 80’s Celebrity remains found
I think one of the Ghosts did it.

Hello and Kitty
For Touch

Hand Sopa
Just a bit creepy.

THE TITLE IS: RETURN OF THE SAINT

Mar and myself just got back from St. Augustine. I will try to get up photos and a blog entry about the trip by at least Tuesday but we both enjoyed the time away from all the other bullshit that has been driving us nuts of late. Now we are just dead tired from walking around everywhere in the Florida heat.

Oh, and Robbin. I got something for you :)

THE TITLE IS: RUN BILLY RUN

Just packaged up a job that needed to leave today with today being a deadline set last night, so sort of in a kind of sort of way… A little last MINUTE! Got everything ready to go and went to my FedEx account online to find out someone tried to log in too many times today and failed so it locked out me out. No time to play with it or people saying I’m just putting in the password wrong, so I rushed over to the shipping department at the pay the rent job with the account number to have them print off the paper work to discover they did all of their FedEx shipments early today…Ok….SHIT! Ran back from the shipping department to map quest the nearest FedEx location, gave the information and package to a couple of my people, sent them out the door to try and find the place and keep all of this shit that has happen from landing on my lap if this does not ship today. Now I’m just waiting to see to hear if they made it there on time…

THE TITLE IS: WRITER BOY LIVES!!!!

I think my biggest problem for years when it came to my writing, besides a slow moving lack of progress on ability, for me was a deep hatred and unwillingness to work hard on rewrites. I thought in the first draft I had written the story, told the story, and I wanted to move on to something else. Then it all of a sudden became fun for me. Maybe it was me maturing as a writer and a person but now I love the 2nd Draft, I love research, and I love working with a good editor, which I have right now. This is writing, damn, Why didn’t I see this sooner?

THE TITLE IS: St. Augustine

Need to get back on a regular posting schedule. Been very busy of late but this blog is important to me for many reasons so I wish to make sure I post more often. Now that being said here goes a bunch of windows that need to be closed out of things I bookmarked to read later. The later time I found to look them over being today.

Lab Grown
This is good news for many reasons but I want a way to re-grow teeth because mine are killing me and the fakes I do not have the money for at this moment. I will volunteer if any mad scientists out there want to shoot me full of gator DNA or something? Hell, I just want someone to tell me why it costs so much to pull them. I mean. I never get the pain medicine anyways but besides that all they do is brake, pull, and put cotton or some cloth shit in there? Someone explain please? And please before you say I’m paying for their experience and expertise, I will just say one thing MY TOOTH IS FUCKING KILLING ME!!!!

…moving on…

Podcast interviews
Peter David and Paul Cornell. Two fine writers to listen to as they speak.

Hosties
For a laugh. Hell, for a few or more laughs.

Farscape on the net
I hope this turns out right because Farscape is one of my all time favorite shows and Sci-Fi could have keep it on the air and funded it instead of those fucking crappy ass TV movies they keep churning out all the time.

Top Five Pop-Culture Tie-In Comics
I would have went with-
#1 Doctor Who.
#2 G.I.Joe.
#3 Conan.
#4 Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
#5 Carl Bark’s Disney Ducks books.
But that’s just my list. Anyone else wish to add something?

The next four links all are a series of pieces on homosexuality in comics. I think they touch on some points that should be further discussed. Worth your time to read I think.
Part One,
Part Two,
Part Three, and
Part Four.

Hey, I did not have as many windows to close as I thought I did? Had a lot of research links bookmarked which needed to be moved over to the research folder in Explorer. Research for the 2nd Draft of Stereo by the way which I’m working on now. Really excited about this draft because with the notes my editor gave me on the 1st Draft and the notes I came up with myself and re-reading it after being away from it for a few weeks I have so many ideas and ways to approach different parts of the book. Added a whole new chapter today alone which wasn’t there in the 1st Draft in any sort of way and adds a lot more hidden depth to one of the strongest characters I created for the book.

Well, I guess that is all from me today. The bosses are coming down to set up a job that has to run perfect. Right. Ok. I will update tomorrow if I go off on anyone and no longer exist in the realm of the employed.
