The World As We Know It

What a time to be alive. A kids movie villain will soon be the American president. GMO's are banned in many countries around the world. A movie ticket costs as much as an entire trip to the movies 20 years before. There are so many Marvel movies that I'm getting tired of them.

I wrote a book.

It's not a great book, or even a good book. It's okay. My grammar, as evidenced by this atrocious blog, is sub par. That being said, it's a great story. A fun read if there ever was one. If you can get past the grammar. Which a lot of people can't.

You want it? You got it here, baby:

Life goes on but not much seems to change. I wrote a book but within a month, my life had become the exact same. I had the same crap job that pays crap and wastes my life. I have a massive amount of student debt and piling up credit card debt. Still no health insurance but now I have to pay to be to poor to afford it.

It's all a bit hopeless, no?

NO!

We can make a difference in this world. YOU can make a difference in this world.

Here's what you can do:

-click the above link and buy my book.
-convince 100 of your family and friends to also buy my book.
-have them convince 100 of their f&f's to buy my book.

So on and so forth.

Eventually, if everyone does this, I will be a millionaire. And boom. You have changed the world. You have made a poor man he didn't believe life would ever work out into a rich man who can relax.
Amazing what $2.99 can buy, right?

I guess in conclusion... Don't be a shit person. Don't just listen to politicians who tell you to hate. Don't listen to the voice inside that tells you to hate and distrust. And buy my book.

p.s. fuck proofreading, this puppy is going out RAW.

p.p.s. and now you see why my book has bad grammar.

Southern Weather

We are finally in Texas. Don't know if I've mentioned this before, don't feel like going back and checking. I'm back to writing in editing at libraries during down time at work. Boo. But also, yay!

So, the real reason I am posting this... post is two fold:

1- I am GARBAGE at grammar. For someone who wants to be a writer, you'd think I could write!!!

2- Related to #1. Sometimes when I'm editing I just say "F**k it" and move on. This stuff is so bad that unless I did severe revisions, basically threw away the first half of the book and rewrote it, it's not going to to get much better no matter how much time I spend editing.

And finally: I came across some fringe "news" website about how Obama is the Antichrist. Great stuff. Google it. It will make your day with how AMAZING it is. I, for one, feel enlightened.

Man editing sucks. Or maybe I suck. Either way it's not getting done. I think this might be in part because we are moving in a couple weeks and my mind is stressed out and rebelling and being lazy helps me feel less shite.

Maybe.

I just finished the Scott Pilgrim series of comic books. It was AWESOME. I would highly suggest it if you like comic books.

That's all for now.
