My (slight) Return

I've been over this well over a thousand times in my head, how in the world was I going to restart this whole thing off, after all this blog is mostly for my thoughts and not much else. I know that there have been those that have read this and the past stories that I wrote on here. However each time that I seem to start this off, it seems to keep starting off as a false start. Basically I would start it, write something down, didn't matter what it was, and then I would kill the document and then just kill my writing program never actually putting anything down.

Now for me, it's been a few years since I actually wrote anything for this one and put anything down. Hell pretty much almost gave up on the writing considering that with the exception of one of them, all the rest of my inspiration has left. It's not like I don't know where they went, believe me I know exactly where they went, it's just that one of them I'm wondering if I even had in the first place.

You see for each person that happens to be a writer, there's always one thing that helps them and keeps them going, for a few it's that one place that they love to travel to in order to be able to find that peace to be able to write, however for most, it happens to be that certain someone that happens to be the one that is needed in order to be able to write. I'm actually one of the mixed types, I have those places that I go to in order to be able to find peace, however at the same time I need that certain someone in order to bring that help to me as well.

For me, that's where this story starts up. You see I had that certain someone, or at least I thought that I did, turned out that I was wrong and didn't even know it. I'm a science fiction writer, and I get a lot of my inspirations from what's around me and what I tend to watch, which for me lately I've been doing more watching than paying attention to what's around me. Don't get me wrong I do pay attention to what's around me, however in a writers sense I've been out of it for a little while. So it's because of this that I haven't been able to write for a while, I need that special someone in my life, and I don't have her, not like I thought I had.

Look for me, there's only ever been what I call two lightening strikes. What that is, is someone that comes into your life and the moment that you see them it's like lightening just hits you. Yes some would call it love at first sight, and others something else, however for me it's only ever hit twice. Both times I knew it, but in the end there was nothing that I could do to be with them at all. Plus both times had been when I was a kid in school, and both times it was a girl that I was too shy to ever approach. Yeah I know idiotic, but that's part of my life problem.

You see back then I was shy, it wasn't that I couldn't talk to a girl, believe me I had them as friends, however once my mind crossed that line, that's when things changed for me. Basically when I saw a girl as something more, then I got tongue tied and couldn't say anything, even when I was talking to them and wanted to ask them out in the first place it was extremely hard for me to do that. Even to this day I've still got that problem, for some reason I can't actually put anything into words, at least speech wise, however I can write everything out. Sure that's me, being right next to a girl and having to text everything out because I can't put ANYTHING into words, typical of me. Of course my problem is that I've never done that before, but I do know if it ever did happen, that's the only way that I could actually ever ask a girl out.

Anyway, back to the two girls. The first one, EVERYONE knew I had a thing for her, it was that obvious. However she was dating a guy that I thought to be a complete idiot, but I couldn't say anything on the matter, I didn't think that she would believe me at all. Years later it turned out that I was correct in my thinking. Personally I never got on her radar and I honestly wish that I had, all I've ever wanted was that one chance, only problem is these days I'm still as shy I was back then so no help there on that note. Personally I actually would like the chance to go out with her, even if it's only for one date, but considering that she's married and the guy could kick my ass, that's a bit of a problem there. However she can also kick my ass considering that she and her husband both is martial artist, a sport that I have extremely great respect for. However if I got that one chance, believe me it would not only be amazing, but for me it would be life changing as well. Now what we would do on that date, I've not a bloody clue, but I do think that it would be interesting to say the least. I think for the most part it would be a walk through a park that I happen to love since it's the closest that I can actually get to being in the forest, and believe me it would be serene. Hell just being with her any place would be serene. However for part of that first date would be there.

Now you'll more than likely notice that I haven't said any names at all, well put a yet at the end of that, because the name will come, but not till later, at least for the first one, however the second one is not going to be put in.

This second one is the only ever other lightening strike that I've ever had in my entire life. This one here was literally just like the first; however it was a few years later. The first one happened in elementary school, back then everyone called in puppy love, and even I knew that wasn't true, it was actual love. When the second bolt hit me, I had been in junior high at the time, and this girl walked in dressed exactly the way the first one had been dressed. Both of them had been dressed as either a princess, or a bride, either way, my jaw had gone through the floor both times.

Now unlike the first time, I had been a complete idiot this time around, to the point that even her friends had gotten between her and I to make sure that I didn't ask her out, not that that was going to be an issue since I still had that problem. Suffice it to say, for this one it was a look but don't' EVER touch (yeah a look from several thousand miles away).

Anyway, without going down a bad memory lane right there, basically it was these two ladies that I had the lightening strike with and haven't had one since. I thought that I again, but it turned out that I was wrong, and even I'll admit that, but for me, it's hard to write my science fiction without that correct someone in my life.

Now the question is, will I ever get that certain someone in my life, personally I'm hoping that it's a yes, now how soon is anyone's guess. Now that first girl that I was talking about, the one that's married, I will say her original name, Amy Hughes, however I will not say her married name (and yes I do know it, but I will not put it here). I would like the chance to have one date with her, but even I know that's not going to happen, after all she's married and could kick my ass. However since this is a blog and my own personal crap, it means that it's going to stay that way.

Look I would like to keep writing in this blog, as well as the stories that I write, but let's face the truth here, even a writer needs that one thing in order to be able to keep writing, and right now I honestly don't have it right now. There will be more to this blog, but for now I figured that I would get this out there for right now.

Revamping of two blog worlds

In truth it's actually not revamping, but more like a slight upgrade to them. I've decided to give the two fictional blogs that I happen to have Ninja Chronicles and Ninja Chronicles: The Return something that they should've had ages ago, and that is there own Facebook pages. So if you've been reading them, the next episode installments will only have the links to their Facebook pages below at the end of the stories, which means what you see below on this entry right here, well it'll no longer be on the two fictional ones at all.

Now does this mean that I'll be wiping out the signature from all of the blogs, ah no. Both this one and My Political World will still have the signature that you see below, however for the coming future those links on the two Chronicle blogs will no longer be on there, it'll only be the link to the Facebook pages for that series only.

Now here's another thing that's going to be changing for both the Ninja Chronicles series, and that is an image will be getting introduced to each of the episodes, think of it like a book cover for that part of the episode. Now some of the images might repeat depending on where the story is going to be taking place, but for the most part, there'll something new each time, and that same image will be appearing also for the cover image on the Facebook page as well.

So be sure to check them out when the new one comes out, and stay current with each adventure and episode.

Till then, let's have fun :)

A birthday Green Lantern

A birthday is one where the person should be able to do as they wish and wear what they want to, well I'm doing the wearing part and wearing a Green Lantern costume as you can see in the photos here. I mean it's not every day that one can be able to do this, and normally I don't happen to do this myself, but considering what the next two days are for me, I figured the hell with it and just went with it. I personally don't care what anyone happens to say or think.

Besides half the time it's not like I'm going to be wearing it every day, I mean unless the ring actually worked (and yes I own a Green Lantern ring, just not the battery, though I would like to get that, but not the movie version, the comic version is the one that I'm loving), then I could just recreate the suit and actually do some helping out when needed. However it doesn't, so I can't.

However in the mean time I figured that I would just be what I wanted to be and to hell with the rest, and so far I've already been talked to about it three times, and loved it each time. Who knows, I may get asked about it more today, in fact I have a feeling that I might just get asked before the day is out.

What about our dreams?

Considering that this is my second blog entry for today (and that's saying something for me), I figured that I would write this one considering that I had just finished watching Hot Tub Time Machine and it actually got me thinking about the whole if I could change the past deal and what might've been different.

Well the classic question just got ask, or at least partly, if you could go back into the past and change anything that you could to make your future better, what would you change. However that always seems like a loaded question right there, that's usually why they end up saying about one thing that you could change. For me, it's not one thing, it's several. However since I can't change the past (namely since time travel isn't possible, yet), I figured that I would think about my present time and why I'm not where I should've been in the first place. Personally I thought that by now I'd not only be a published writer, but that I would have my own film studio and would be kicking ass in the book publishing department, however that is not the case, and right now I have no idea as to how to get there, even some of those that I would consider friends (even though they don't consider it themselves) ended up going off the main trail that they were on in the first place. Those two people I've mentioned before, which are Amy Hughes (who's become a martial arts wizard and has married a John Glover look like basically) but I'm wondering if she's actually gotten to where she wanted to in life. The other is Corinne Wieben, who right now happens to be a professor at the University of Colorado. This girl was one amazing actress, what the hell happened here.

It's things like this that make me wonder what the hell happened to everything, and is there any chance that we could be able to fix it before it's too late. Personally I believe that anything is possible to get done, but the only thing is, how do we actually get that done, after all aren't we now a few years off, who knows at this point. I only know that I'm going to keep trying and that you should keep trying too.

A life update

I know that it's been a LOOOOOOOONG while since I last posted to this blog, but considering that I don't happen to have any followers (other than someone else and me on there), I figured that I would give a long awaited updated here.

I know that there's been a shnoze load of things going on in my life, hell sign dancing for 8 months only for the company you worked for to move out of town and you can't follow them doesn't happen to help things at all. But I'm now currently looking for work right now, and that might actually help out if it wasn't for the fact that my resume doesn't exactly sing with experience in areas that are now mostly outside of sign dancing at all, I mean come on, I do look, but when you end up getting calls for selling the one thing that you've never sold a day in your life, then you know that it's pretty bad. Personally I really don't know what I'm going to do any more, and what doesn't help things is I'm not getting paid the right amount for what I do. I know that those of you that have seen me out on the side walk, you all know that I do a damned good job, however the problem is, I end up not only having to go with what they want to pay, but their hours as well, and that right there really don't help things at all. Right now I should be getting paid at least $10 an hour for the sign dancing that I do, and about 4 to 8 hours a day for it, but no one around here in Contra Costa knows what they really have thanks to other sign "holders" (since they don't do anything to actually attract attention to those passing by at all) that don't do a damned thing.  I know that I happen  to have friends right now that are actually trying to help out, but in this economy EVERYTHING is up for grabs. Take for example my own mother, she wasn't making a dime for the job that she had, because she was only on an as needed basis. However when I talked to her and convinced her to actually go for the job that she has right now (at least till tax day), she took it, and is now making more than I currently am. That hurts right there, but there's nothing that can be done for it.

So in the mean time I scour the net looking for work, and yet get no calls back from anyone at all. Personally I know that this can't be it, but it looks like this is going to be it, and I really don't know what in the world to do. I don't have a driver's licence and those that I know (from my mother-in-law to my friends) aren't able to help me at all (and I did post that asking for help in that). So I really don't know how I'm going to get the one thing that I know that I'm going to be needing for a job in the end. The college education is the one thing that can come later, but in the mean time, I just really need that driver's licence. I've already got the permit to get my experience back, but it's actually getting that experience back that I'm having a hard as hell time with right now.

I know that this entry (and possibly the last one as well) may seem like a bitch fest, but I don't really have that much of a choice in the matter any more. I'm a writer and I can't even concentrate on writing at all, I've got two fictional blogs (listed below), I've got two books that I'm trying to work on, but I can't do a damned thing any more :(, and all because of looking for a job that I can't even get because of the need for one little item. I mean come on there's one of two places that I would love to work at, either FedEx or UPS and wouldn't mind working in the warehouse till I can get to the truck level, but the one thing that's needed in order to be able to get to the trucks, hell the job, is the driver's licence, and that's the one thing right now that I don't happen to have right now.

Oh well, enough with my bitching, you've read enough.

Martinez Little League Youth Baseball

Today was a day here in Martinez for everyone to come together to share in the love of one major sport and that's baseball. the Martinez Youth Little League had their start of the season parade today going from Martinez City Hall to Downtown Martinez to the Marina, now there were no floats for this parade, just the teams coming by and saying hi to everyone that turned out in attendance here. I'm currently piecing together video footage that I've shot of the parade, but to let you all know that happen to read this blog and get the notices, I will post up a notice about the video when I get it finished, and I will be posting it up to both Facebook and to YouTube for all of those that would like to see it.

This is something that happens to bring the entire city of Martinez together and helps not only teach the kids about team work, but also at the same time it helps them make the friends that would sometime other wise be sometimes hard for them to make on their own. Believe me I know this first hand with how my life ended up being during my own youth, with no friends outside of school, and no one other than a Star Trek: The Next Generation toy to help me get through everything during that time, and the only two friends that I did have were a mother and a daughter (and the daughter I often times think seriously didn't want to have anything to do with me in the least at all, but I guess that's how things ended up being back then). Beyond them I had no one in my life, yes I had friends, but the only time that I ever met them was during school, beyond that I never got to be with anyone, never went to any parties or anything. Hell I couldn't even have a Nintendo back then, my mother wouldn't even go for it at all.

Anyway, Baseball season for Martinez is a major thing here in this city, and it's something that's taken very seriously, and the only thing that I know that these parents and their kids would love is for a team to go all the way to the Little League World Series, but then again I'm just thinking it, but it would be something for one of the city teams to actually get there. But who knows at this point.

If I can, I'll try to post the schedule for the Martinez Youth Little League (all ages) so that way you can try to keep up, along with links to each of the teams either their Facebook pages or web sites.

Just couldn't come up with a title here

The sad fact is, I really couldn't come up with a title for this entry, I know that on both this one and the political blog that I hadn't been putting anything down there as of late, and the only reason for that is because I've just been way too bust not only dealing with my fictional blogs, but at the same time I just really didn't know what to write about when it comes to this blog, however after everything that's been going on in my life and the breaking point that I'm just damned near about to hit, I figured that it was about time to write something, other wise I'm on the verge of exploding here. Not only is my personally life sucking like rocks right now (and yes this entry will be getting very personal here), but I'm starting to think that everyone is thinking that I'm a bit nuts, or not bothering to...oh hell who knows any more. Just to let everyone know, if things on this entry read a little off, I'm going back and forth between writing this up in my email where I write and post them from in the first place, to Facebook right now, so my train of thought is on two different things, and I'll be answering the why of that really soon.

One of the current things that has gotten me so upset right now is a game that I've been taking part in for the past month, it's called "Injustice Battle Arena", and I've been voting for different characters in the match ups, and usually I'm always voting for the one that wins, however this week of the two fights that were there, Superman v. Sinestro and Green Arrow V. Hawk Girl, I was going for Sinestro to win the fight, but it looks like we're heading towards a World's Finest between Batman and Superman, and that's the one thing that I'm currently trying to fight against, considering that at the rate things are going to be going, both Superman and Batman will end up getting shows and movies only and none of the other DC characters will ever end up with anything. Maybe tiny figurines, but that's about it. It's gotten that bad right there. Personally I'm so tired of it that I just really can't stand it any more. I mean they won't even make a new Flash series, because of the last one that they had back in the early 90's only lasted for one season, but then the time slot that it was placed in didn't help things when everyone was already in bed to get ready for the next day, even I had to sneak episodes to watch. The one thing that I've noticed is that when ever they make something that happens to be of a hero that's not either Batman or Superman, or is related to the two of them, then the show lasts for maybe a season if that long, but then gets canceled out, and then they tell people that about two of three seasons is how long any animated show happens to last. That right there is crap considering that the Simpsons have been on for a little over a decade now and there's no chance that it's going to get pulled off the air any time soon either, so that line just doesn't work any more, even though they keep using that same said line.

Of course that right there is just one of the many things that I happen to be dealing with today, the only reason why that's on top is because of how sooner (as in came in today) that hit than everything else did.

Right now I'm also trying to deal with the fact that I'm out of a job right now, I'd be working on my book if it wasn't for the fact that the one job (which is listed below in the signature) I'm currently partly in right now doesn't EVER have me working now because they have no hours to give me at all for working at all, so I got screwed over on that. I went for a job yesterday, however I have to wait on that one as well right now, namely since I have to wait to hear back from the owner when it comes to that job, in the mean time I still continue to look, and right now I have not only no idea where to look, I have no way of getting around any place, mainly because I don't happen to have either a car or a driver's licence (and yes I will be harping on that one right there as well). So I'm pretty much screwed out in just about EVERYTHING right now. These days there's one of three things that someone needs in order to get a job these days (though this doesn't apply to one that happens to be as low as I happen to be right now), 1)A driver's licence, 2)Certification in something, or 3)A degree from a college, or a combination of any of the above, mostly the licence is majorly needed these days no matter what any more.

On the licence part, I've had one before, but that was a little over a decade ago, and since then, I've no longer got it. Now when I do try to go for it here in California I pass the written test with out a problem, because the majority of the answers were all common sense ones, however it was the road test that I screwed the pooch on considering that I don't have the one thing that's needed and that happens to be the experience needed in order to be able to pass the road test. The one person that I'm asking (since I can't ask anyone else for help) is giving me every excuse in the book not to help me out at all, and that happens to be my mother in law. Originally I asked her for help in both the experience and the test, but the car won't fly under a test, so all I've been asking for in the mean time has been to get the experience that I need in order to pass the road test, I've text her and left her messages, however the problem has been that she refuses to even answer at all when it comes to that, so I now know that I have no way of getting my licence, which believe me would solve several job hunting problems at once. So I'm seriously screwed on that note.

Now there's another problem right now that's going to be coming up next month (considering that we happen to be in March right now), and it's one that I doubt I can actually change. It's dealing with that one time each year that everyone celebrates, yes my birthday, and out of everyone that I've invited (invited 113, 5 are going and 1 is a maybe), I can't get anyone to look at their invites so that they can let me know if they're going or not, so I feel like I'm getting screwed over in that note too.

On a more extremely personal note, one that I can't seem to change no matter what in the world I do, it seems that my love life with my wife has not only gotten staled out, it's frozen in place, and there doesn't seem to be a damned thing I can do about it either. I have no clue how to change this, and when I bring it up, I get nothing back in response (and my wife may end up getting pissed up for bringing this up in the first place, but hey I don't know what else to do here). They say that this is something that is never talked about in something like this, but if that was the case then no one would do it, but that right there is a church lie, it's talked about all over the place considering everything that's currently going on in the world these days. Plus the one thing that I can't even do these days (doesn't matter if her son is with us or not), I can't even have a make out session with my own wife, it's gotten that bad now, yes we kiss, a peck on the lips, but that's about it, nothing else. I really have no idea what in the world to do. 

I'm getting frustrated and completely screwed over in almost everything of my life, and there doesn't seem to be a damned thing that I can do about it at all. However if you dear reader happen to have any advice, please feel free to share it, other wise I'm just venting here and there really isn't anything that I can do about it.
