I have a purple crystal.
It is magic. It moves
and talks. It says all
kinds of things. It can
fly and it can climb walls.

One day my purple
crystal went inside
a snake hole.

Then, it went
inside of a
bear house.

He flew upon the
bear’s bed. The bear got
up and the crystal
went under the bear
and bear sat down on it

The bear went back
into the cave and slept
Through the day

Suddenly, a snake went
inside the cave and woke
up the bear.

Then the crystal
tried to kill the
snake.
The crystal won
the snake fight.

Then the bear and
the crystal
became friends.

I may not be a great writer, but I think I was meant to tell stories.

Damn….

Not much to say. The implications of this short read hit me hard. I was a little bored reading it for about ten minutes till I figured out where it was heading, then BAMMM mind fuck.

Go read it. http://filer.case.edu/dts8/thelastq.htm

This book was tits. Damn it was good.

I haven’t read much of the future sci fi stuff. I read Enders Game and most of that series a year or so back, but that’s about it. Oh I did read a couple of the Ringworld books. Those were all good. However I gotta say this one took the lead for me.

Told from the perspective of two lead characters in alternating chapters. Both characters of which I was eager to read about. I found myself reaching the end of a chapter and saying to myself..”fuck whats gonna happen” then after flipping the page being completely enthralled in the other character..it was a beautiful amalgamation of perspective processes.

I’m switching to reading the first Dark Tower book. The Gunslinger now, but just to clean my pallet before I dive in that next book. Already have it on my shelf waiting for my greedy, eager little paw tips.

Another long grind of green puppy death bubbles. I had to even push a new zone that encroached on my comfortability of killing green whiz.

Holy shit another year. Where did the tim…cliché….cliché.….cliché.

First things first. I successfully bewitched my lovely special someone with my mad chimp ju ju. Without her this year would have been a quite depressing and an utter failure of what life and happiness should be. I am a very lucky man to have found such a competent human that puts up with my severely failing maturity.

Residing in a New Country

Moved to Deutschland to be with said aforementioned uber special person. Best decision ever. Its cold. I love it. It rains. I absolutely love it.

New Position in the Same Profession

Working for a small company as a wordpress gibbon jabbering away at custom fields. Not much to say. I do get to work for some cool clients once in a while. People are chill. Its a good gig.

New Igloo with a Space Heater

Got me one of them schmancy fancy homes. A smart built eco apartment building. Love it. Has a modern look and feel. I even have a Trek and Star Wars Classics Posters framed up on the wall next to the tv (again my significant other’s ability to make me know happiness in its purest). Built from cement and solid wood, its the perfect kinda fungi shui to get my geek on.

Some Other Tidbits of Scheiße that Happened this Year

** Had a New Years goal of reading thirty books this year. Nailed it, and still pushing for more!

Game of Thrones is still awesome even though they killed everyone.

Refactored my over redundant shit facade of a portfolio into this blog. With its minimalist design, built strictly for writing has made me quite happy-proud.

Went and saw the real Disney castle. The story behind why the castle is unfinished isn’t exactly a fairy tale however.

Realised I suck at foreign languages. Its aggravating. I’m a pain about it, but its coming along.

Went to London, and saw the “Real” Platform 9 & 3/4. Was at the snake exhibit that Dudley fell into at the London Zoo. Pygmy Hippos. Big Ben. The Eye. Shit ton of fish and chips and air temp beer. Die Hard with Ninja’s. Hell of a trip with my best bud und meine Liebling.

Switched to Android after years of Apple loyalty….they have propriety power cables too. Head slap, there all monkey taint eaters.

The Walking Dead season opener was ehhhh ….still not gonna stop me from watching.

Took a trip to Berlin. Saw the Wall. Took pictures. Saw Brandenburg Gate. Berlin Zoo (I really love Zoo’s). Museums. More Monuments. Beer. Lotsa snow.

Missing family and friends. Soon the family missing will be rectified, friends TBD. Come visit!

Had my first white christmas. Christmas market in Hamburg is amazing, you should come visit if you can.

Went to the Hamburg Aquarium at the start of the year, and the Zoo more recently.

It’s been nearly a year since i’ve driven a car. After working in LA for a couple months, a year off from driving was exactly what I needed.

For that matter its been about a year since i’ve tee’d off. Ill have to remedy that one as its far more pressing.

New Friends, Acquaintances, and a new Me.

So how am I Spending my Birthday?

For one I’m sick, however not worried about it. Meine Girlie bought me the Die Hard funfe-trilogy. Yippie Kay Yay Mother Fucker. Beer. Friends and love. Couch. Games. Writing. Dinosaur chicken fingers. Not much more to say about a good day

This book just felt honest to me. I’m not sure how else to put it. Being the first book that I know of published by this guy I can definitely say he achieved a most intriguing machination of plot.

Identifying with the main character then a plot that consistently tries to fuck him is exactly what I was looking for this last weekend when I took a trip down Bavaria to Neuschwanstein.

Trust me, seeing authentic old cities while reading a book like this was fucking awesome. My girlfriend and I took a route down from Hamburg to Bavaria, or specifically Neuschwanstein. Took us 3 whole days and lots of driving. Well driving for her, my license doesn’t work in Germany, something about californians can’t drive so we have to take all the classes/exams/tests….I guess I can’t blame ‘em.

Anywho, was walking through the castle of Ludwig II and all I could think of was how to trick the tour guides and get to the off limits 3rd floor…The brilliance of the plan however would have left my girlfriend in jail, and the payoff probably wouldn’t have been worth a damn.

But its all about the game. On to the second book.
