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 [...]

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.

Looking for Fearlessly.

Few things in this world encompass every trait of human greatness as Dogs do,  Hence my Avatar being a dog toy, the Cuz. Good Cuz/Bad Cuz.

Something I just stumbled upon.

Well, I was wandering the internut like I normally do in search of subject matter to discuss, well, really I am trolling around looking for how creativity is being extinguished or attacked and lo and behold I met this wonderful dynamic person named C.F. Jackson.

That is so cliché

Have we all heard this line in our life? Maybe a bit one too many times? Hummm? What gets me if how it is used too. I think it is about time for a good old fashioned language lesson. (Gotta love Dictionary.Com!) with something called cross-referencing!
First of all,I bet most people do not [...]

Get the Torches and Pitchforks!

Well lo and behold I was checking out thins and came across someone called Kenneth Goldsmith, a person that makes the claim creativity is dead or something equally stupid.
Which sounds like a rip off of:
“Everything that can be invented has been invented.“
– Charles Duell, Commissioner of US Patent Office, 1899
