But Wait!

Some people are just amazing at what they do…

Billy Mayes was one of them.

But I wonder if he told his parents he was going to become a legend from selling Oxy Clean (or countless other products he pitched for), would they all have laughed at him.

Sure he might become rich?

But Famous! Never!

A Legend has Passed.

And yet… Here is he.

The pitchman is a name that we all know better then the products he sold.

And I have to admit I have bought products only because Billy Mayes told me to, and I’ll be if I would accept anything but the fact they were the best things I ever used because Billy Mays told me they were the best things I’ll ever use. He was just that good.

So… if his passing and his life has taught me anything, it is that following your dreams no matter how you start or what you do, the limit to where you go with them, is entirely up to you.

May she rest in piece, and be loved and remembered as the inspiration she was to many.

Life is how you live it, and don’t let anyone put you down or make you feel less then the wonderful person that you are.

She had her critics and her fans.

Both have lost something precious at her passing.

Live Fearlessly!

RIP – To a Legend

What do you say about the passing of a man like Michael Jackson.

He was the epitome of the eccentric artist, that much I will give him. He was famous, rich, and strange in every way a man could be. He invented dance moves, images and all in all he seemed to escape any attachment of race, or even profession, beyond the title “The King of Pop”, like he was just…for lack of a better way to put this, Michael Jackson, an entity in his own right.

Like anyone famous he had his critics, who not surprisingly even on the day of his death, feel a need a kick the man. However we all know that as long as he remains an icon of our society, and name we will remember he will have his critics.

His death will not change that.

But let us learn a lesson from this. When the day comes, if we attract fame and fortune to our name and selves, we will invariable attract critics, and no matter what we may or may not do with our lives they will be an incessant buzzing that we won’t be able to silence, at every angle, every chance and every turn they will be there to try and rip us down, even to our dying day and beyond.

But let us learn from Michal Jackson that fame does not promise life, neither does anonymity, so let us live, enjoy our days in spite of what the critic’s might say.

One thing I have learned from Michael Jackson is that no matter what you do, someone will say it is wrong, so do not strive to please the masses, be yourself, even if others think it is strange, let them gossip and whine, life is too short to abide the pandering of modern day ‘old wives’ and ‘widow’ gossip.

Write and Live fearlessly.

What is “Good” writing?

Now we ask ourselves the ultimate question of all time.

“What is good writing?”

This of course, like “What is good art” is purely subject to the opinion of what ‘other people‘ (AKA: The Notorious They) think is good writing.

I say ignore them all!

Here is the way it works, it won’t matter if you never see your name in print, if you are e-writer, or have sold a bazzilion books all over the world, translated into languages that only six people can read because not only did everyone read your book, these people have heard of you, and now want to buy your book along with everyone else… yes you could be just THAT AMAZING and yet there will always be people that say your writing sucks!

Living Proof is that Rowling Has her Critics and she is the first and currently only writer to become a billionaire from her literary works alone.

So don’t be frazzled by when people say things like, your book is worthless crap, and that a computer program could pump out a good as what you wrote.

So, in the end, Good Writing is purely a matter of personal opinion and in truth you will NOT please everyone, no matter how grand and wonderful your work might be (or how good you think it is).

So, Just because I don’t have much else to say, I tossed in a Geek Flow Chart in case I plan to re-visit this discussion later, I hope that the charts will distract you enough so you would forget what I wrote.

Write Fearlessly!

Some Days you have to Laugh.

I was reading the Blog of Stephenie Meyer, the Author of Twilight, and one of the funniest things she had to say was: “The meanest rejection I got came after Little, Brown had picked me up for a three-book deal”

Now this is something important to realize in life, just because someone says “I am an editor” or “I worked in publishing” or “I have my masters degree in being a pompous snot” does not mean they know what they are doing.

Ponder this, All the editors that sent Meyer rejection letters, did not see what a great book this was.

But lo and behold, it has made quite a stir has it not?

I have seen this book compared to the Legendary Harry Potter series, which Rowling I bet has her list of rejection letters before she got accepted as well. (not to mention the actors in the move based on her book are always on one tabloid cover or another)

Yes, it just that famous.

So remember as you go to publish, What works, what fails, what makes millions and what finds it’s way to gutter can not be predicted, so write what you wanted to write to begin with.

Write Fearlessly!

Online RPG’s

Well it was bound to happen sometime.

I got myself addicted to an online RPG and have been spending almost all time there ‘grinding up the toon’

I would like to say in my own defense, if you could call it that, I did not end up playing a mainstream game, with lots a really great graphics, you see, my system can’t handle that, nor did I end up playing some message board make believe game.

No, see I am playing a text based MUD online. Which I at this time I can’t tell if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Anyway.

I have discovered a few things, and that there is no one that plays an online game that is not a raging nerd or some sort.

From people that feel a need to be all “I am a full role player” to people that memorize stats like they mean something, to just the simple run on the mill power players.

At the end of the day, there are countless nerds that play these games and none of them seem to agree at what makes a nerd, beyond “Not themselves”

If you have an issue with one thing and they don’t, then you’re the nerd and they are not.

but there are a few brave nerds that know they are nerds, they accept they are nerds and are better people for it.

Know thyself (Plato)

To thine own self be true (Shakespeare)

So the next time you hear someone call you a nerd, or making a fun of you, remember they are just as spazzy a nerd as you, about something different, and unlike you, they are delusional that they are not nerds.

be brave! be Tenacious! be proud of what you are!

Nerd Fearlessly!

What is Love.

Love is like a Fire. Where a House  is naught but four walls and a roof a Home is in the Hearth, the Mantle and Fireplace.

A Domain of Warmth.

A fire takes but a spark to start. The clicking of two bits of metal or stone, and poof! you have a flame.

At first it explodes, like a match, searing hot and passionate it burns vigorously!  Then it slows down once it catches on. Slowly it begins to spread and starts to share it’s warmth and heat with the area around it, until at long last, you are left not with licking flames dancing and tantalizing but with amber’s and coal, which we all know is the only part of a fire you can cook on.

Like life and Love, when you meet, there has to be that Spark, something clicked like two stones striking to ignite the flames.

Then you burn for each other, love as you might call it, lust, passion, or just giddy happiness of being together. What ever it will be, it is, and it consumes, and if allowed it will burn the hardest logs.

Then the years pass on, there are licks and flickers of passion with moments of remembering the first flame but this can only be because of the constant even heat that is thrown off, that compassion, respect and care for each other grows.

Until finally you are left with deep low burning amber’s warm, comforting, enduring and filling, that truly heat the hearth of the home for times to come.

Look at love how you want, be thankful when you find it no matter what the forum, and cherish it for the gift that it is.

Burn Fearlessly!

Some Critics…

Can make their point Perfectly…

While others can be rather difficult to figure out.

And some days I can fully relate.

Laugh Fearlessly!

Vampires!

It seems they are the big thing these days… vampires here, there, and everywhere.

Ok She is not a Vampire, But she is Hot! and this Image is kinda Vampy

What is worse is that writers are being mocked for using them so they feel forced to try and find ‘another way’ to have a vampire without having a “Vampire“

Well, far be it from to listen to prattling of annoying voices, if I wanted to listen to voices I’d take drugs.

So with that said, focus on writing a solid story not pleasing the masses.

Vamp Fearlessly!

You Suck!

That is, if you are Lucky, You suck.

Everyone from Stephen King to J K Rowling, from Ann Rice to Stephenie Meyer, it seems they all have someone that says “They Suck”

Entire groups say these people suck and suck hard.

So with that in mind, I sincerely hope that one day, you (and I) can Suck just like them.

So here is to our future Suckage!

Suck Fearlessly
