Doesn’t the poor old lady across the street that died alone deserve our compassion and companionship?

Doesn’t the unknown Joe or Jane Doe that was murdered last night deserve our sympathy?

Every time that there is such a big deal about the death of a celebrity I think, doesn’t anyone else see what is wrong with that way of thinking?

When a celebrity dies to me it’s no different than when a stranger dies, after all, why should the life of a celebrity have more worth than the life of a homeless person that died and no one noticed.

Perhaps it is just the way I think, either way when you send that prayer or shed that tear for Michael Jackson, please don’t forget the thousands even the millions that perished without a consoling friend or family member by their side, after all they too are/were our family.

If you really want to express your condolence perhaps visit your local hospital or hospice and spend some time comforting someone that is about to embark on this unknown trip called death.

Perhaps one day we will evolve to see death as a simple transition, like a long trip to a far way place, a place far more interesting than here.

Are you a twitter addict? If you do or know any of the following below you are an addict and tweetvention may not help you at this point.

• You purchase your wife an iphone so she can keep in touch and know what you are up to.
• You use any of the following 3 or more times a day; tweet; twit; twitter or any word having a twtr in any order.
• You wake up in the morning and before going to the bathroom, having breakfast, kissing wife/kids you say good morning to your tweeps.
• if you have more than 1000 followers or are following more than 500.
• If you like myself dream with bit.ly, tinyurl, ping.fm, tinypic and tinychat, in fact if you know what all of those things are, you are past the point of no return.
• If you check your twitter stats more than once a week. (If you check it everyday, seek immediate help.)
• If you can’t help but wonder what is twitter.com business plan or model.
• If you blog about twitter like I am doing now you are probably a goner as well.

So you must be asking yourself what do I do now if I can’t be saved, I’ll let you know.

If fact you have very few options, here they are;

1. Run naked in the street asking for mental help and maybe will get locked away in a facility with no internet connection, however watch for wifi and 3G networks they are creeping up everywhere, like the Verizon dude says “we have 3G there.”.
2. Call your representative and complain about the health dangers of twitter.
3. Call twitter and ask them for the phone numbers of the psychologist they consulted with when creating the service, maybe they will have the cure but they most likely will not give it to you.
4. Call the pentagon and see if they have the cure, again they may not help you unless a twitter zombie infestation is imminent and likely to occur.
5. Other than that just hope that your brain will be full of useful and useless information and you will eventually leave your room again, but remember start slow, sunlight can actually hurt your eyes once you been away from it for so long. (And no, spending time in front of the monitor does not equals time in the sun or outside.)

Hopefully this post help you in some way if nothing else a little bit.ly laugh.

Threshold

 or

Dweller on the Threshold

Threshold is the name of the world in which most of the story takes place, Dweller being the needed antagonist of the story.

I am almost in the middle of outlining the story but for a change of pace I figure it is safe to write the introduction to the book, here is what I have so far;

“Threshold is a world of unsurpassed beauty, where our physical laws breakdown. It is a world ruled by a delicate balance between good and evil, a world with many wonders and mysteries waiting to be discovered, a world where dream and reality wed and become entangled, change one and you will inevitably change the other.

Life in Theshold continued as usual, with each race doing their job like they have been for hundreds of years, while unknown to most races, the Dweller on the Threshold had a master plan that would change the landscape of the land for eons.”

This as far as I got being a bit lazy today, well actually I have done lots of refining into the outline of the book, and you know how it is, time spent preparing is never time wasted at least I hope not.

Please let me know what you guys think.

Regards,

Adrian

Another book I working on is called North Horizons, this is a fiction thriller, I am just starting this one I have like 3 pages done
And my latest addition to my work load is a fiction fantasy book called, Dweller on the Threshold, this would be my very first fantasy book and so far the most challenging. However I believe that I am better prepared to write this book than the others for one this one is fun since it exercises my imagination a lot more than the other two books and also I am actually preparing to write this book doing lots of research on mythology and I have already defined the Main character, basic plot, how it will end, I have drawn a map of the continent which the store takes place, I’ve named names and places, created different regions and their races with their uniqueness and weaknesses.  So I feel better prepared to write this book the problem now is that I am trying to create the outline but I can’t stop myself from adding too much details in the outline, may neurons just keeps on firing like it is a machine gun and I am afraid that if I don’t write it down I won’t remember later.

Anyone got any tips on how to solve this problem?

Well here I go back to researching, currently taking a break from outlining in a attempt to slow down my mind a bit.

Regards, Light and Peace to all.

Unfortunally I took too long to find the camera, however next launch I’ll be outside waiting for it to happen with a tripod and all.

One is only required to be alive to learn new things everyday.

Lots of light, love and peace.

I think and dream in English, however it is still my 2nd language and I feel sometimes that my vocabulary is not as broad as Portuguese for example, I can be more creative with the choice of words in Portuguese, but then again I have been away from Portuguese especially writing for 16 years, so what language should I use to write my books in?

I just feel that either way it will be though, but say Portuguese is the choice then would an editor excuse some more common mistakes because I have been away from the language for so long? Or if it’s even the opposite would English editor take into account that English is my 2nd language and help out, or would it make things harder. I just feel that either way there are con’s I just don’t know what to do.

I am thinking writing a book both in English and in Portuguese however they would not be translations each would be it’s own version of the same story since this is for a non fiction book.

Or should I just write in Portuguese and have it translated into English? Maybe even the other way around it?

Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated it.

PS: I just wrote this as I think, I haven’t gone back to revise it, I want to give the reader an idea how I normally write without the hours I put into revising and editing the errors I make, however I fell that this will help gauge expertise or lack thereof in the English language.

Thanks for any help.

I wasn’t until recently that I found the perfect service to house my pictures online and better yet it’s completely free and by a well know company Microsoft, in fact I am surprise that more people don’t know about it, since to me it is better than all the other photo sites.

You must be eagler to know what service that is I’ll let you know it is called SkyDrive and you already probably have a username and password to access this service if you have a MSN account you automatically get access to SkyDrive visit them at: http://skydrive.live.com to login or to get your free account.

SkyDrive offers a whopping 25 Gigabytes of free storage, that is alot of free storage in my opinion and if you need more you can always have more than one account for example one personal account and one professional that would make for 50 GB of free storage.

The best part of SkyDrive is that it is not just for photos, you can upload any type of file you like, I use mainly for book storage, photos and some music. It will also let you share your shots with friends and family and is especially easy if they have a MSN account as well. 

Please take a moment to leave a comment below with your thoughts and if you have any questions I can be found here on this blog and or twitter: @adrianvolts feel free to follow me and/or ask me questions.

Regards,

Adrian
