  1. Bloodstained Angel (Part 1)

    Couldn't think of an ending to a poem/song that was to be a sort of inspiration for something or another. Lost junk. I'll leave it here. If you can think of a better ending, feel free to take it... Bloodstained Angel (part 1) Endless dreams that go seeping, Screaming, Down her sides leaving her there weeping, Seething in curtains of all her life’s burdens, Needing, Now she’s reaping her curses And oh... There was the brightest light In her soul... Torn apart by the...

  3. Mugen's Two Words of the Week

    Apply Pressure No matter how difficult a task or situation, consistent attention and forward momentum will eventually break through. As pressure may wane you over time, so you will to that which you apply pressure to. If you want to progress beyond an obstacle, apply pressure.
  4. The Science of Fiction

    No big surprise that there is an increasing presence of actual science in today's fiction. By fiction, I mean those outside of science fiction, also. In fact, science and information are becoming more in demand mainly because asking "why" does not really signify an elevated intelligence in people as a group, but a modern fad. Because of shows like Theater 3000 and various internet and media clowns poking fun at illogical plots and things, directors have no choice if they want to remain...
  5. Moans, Groans, and General Complaining

    Life is a series of experiences. Within them, there are obstacles and achievements. While different people may have varying amounts of one or the other, the other really does not effect how you deal with your own. The other may be the cause of more opposition or more achievements, but it is telling of the character that begins to complain more about the inequality between themselves and another rather than finding a way to break the obstacle themselves. In life, obstacles come in many...
  6. Our Wonderful World

    S omething very odd and absolutely mind-expanding happened to me today...and you'll likely laugh at me for it. I opened an engineering book. A Modern Day Tome of Knowledge It was a book almost as wide as my hand and inside the writing is cram-font. That is to say, your eyesight was less important than getting all the information they could on every page. But just browsing through this book, The Civil Engineering Handbook, which is a paraphrasing of one facet of engineering as a...
  7. Last Note

    Over the past couple of months you could say I have sought of changed. Both my writing and my views were confined to certain genre's and subjects. Overtime, you could say I have been opened up to the full spectrum of life- light, dark, and spectral as a prism. The problem is...how do I say it, write it, or show it? The mystery and the allure of life lies in the inadequate but reaching comprehensions of the mysteries of all these things. Between the past, the present, and the...
  8. Expand Your Consciousness, Expand Your Life

    "If you have a golf ball sized consciousness, you have a gulf ball sized understanding." Loved this quote and so true. One of the things I love most is being able to read, see, and experience things that expand my awareness of things previously unknown to me. Things that open you up to the true breadth of life and make the world seem vast and a startling mystery once again capable of rich discoveries and outstanding journeys. There's nothing so dull as to live within the confines of the...
  9. Sailor

    As a sailor in life you begin in wonder and excitement followed by the rigors of learning, trial, and adversity. Along the way you learn more about yourself, the people around you, the ways of the environment, all kinds of things... You may become so strong and spirited that you set out on your own, looking for a place no others know of but yourself; a place marked in the depths of your soul. Life's treasure- so distinct it is quite unique from another- brings you...
  10. To Master One Skill, Learn Another

    I'm not sure how authentic that saying (the title of this blog) is, but I have definitely found it expanding to momentarily stop writing and pursue other things. Currently I am reading a lot of physics, astrophysics and astronomy, and had started watching a series I downloaded called "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan (who, by the way, is an amazing orator and guide into his subject) I'm also reading a lot about the present day economy, present day struggles and conflicts like the all of those...
  11. Now I Draw

    My little brother is the artist...I like to write. I once asked him to draw some characters for me. He said he would but never got around to it so I decided to draw my own myself. At first they were ridiculous looking, but as I kept drawing and drawing them they began to look better and better. I realized I could actually draw pretty well with practice. Now I drew some of the characters for my story. It's one thing to imagine them but it's quite another to see them before you. Sometimes...
  12. Understanding

    There's a deeper meaning to understanding...beyond caring...beyond empathy. Understanding means a community. A community connected mutually. Individuals existing in unity. We are different eyes from which we all can see the tapestry of humanity. You want to be free than lose enmity; war, hate, and hostility. Love, give hospitality. And what is given from thee shall be given of me. I give it to thee...freely We are lovers, see spiritually eternally inseparably.
  13. Creation

    "The beauty of the world lies in it's creation. The beauty of creation lies in it's mystery." And so I have finished creating a world that has taken two decades to create. Updated innumerable times, revised and altered chronically. After thinking of land, races, histories, when you mature as a writer you realize the power of letting go of the handle and letting the ride go wild. Resist the temptation to control the story and let there by mystery, chaos, and suspense. But I am proud. I...
  14. Consolidation or Diversity?

    In conspiracy theories, one of the major reoccurring themes is an attempt to bring all things under a singular rulership- or the rulership of a single class of people. But this isn't really conspiracy it is history. All the great rulers and conquerors are consolidators. They gathered up numerous peoples and forced them into a singular unit under their control- give or take some liberties. even now, it is clear that consolidation is a clear pattern from the beginning of recorded history. As...
  15. Why AM I Addicted To RPG's?

    Yeah, one day I was trying to figure this out. It's a love, hate relationship. I love playing them but I hate how much time I end up spending on them. I try to stop after I end one but I always find myself looking for the next awesome game. That usually implies addiction, no matter how silly it might sound and I was wondering...why the hell am I addicted to these things? Storyline Nah. There's only three games whose story line ever interested me to a great degree. Final Fantasy...
