My novel: update

My novel is actually coming along quite well. Except for the fact that i am still working on it and it has been about three years of work so far. I guess that is an unfair statement though because it has not been 3 solid years of work. Just about the only time that i get to work on the book is when i am at work, at the restaurant. Funny how that works out. But despite the limited time i have to focus on it i consider it a top priority of mine to accomplish in life. Plus i am excited about it. I am pleased with the work so far. I just need to go back and give the characters a little more depth and physical attributes that shine through the pages. Make the characters a real, tangible, picture them in front of you person. People that have realistic mannerisms and thought processes. Like an Harry Potter real, or Twilight. Its getting there. -Kc

Trading card games

I must admit that even though i might seem like a normal guy, a guy with a family and a normal life. i have a secret. A deep dark secret. I am a huge nerd. although this news would not even faze my other half, most people could not tell by looking at me. That is unless the notice my Lego Star Wars Chewbacca key chain. Or my Super Mario Bothers 3 hat that i wear religiously. Let alone what i have stashed away at my house. For instance my collection of trading card game cards. I could use the excuse that I only have trading card games to play with my 10 year old step-son, but that would be a lie. I started my addiction with Pokemon cards. I was one of the lucky kids to have a subscription to Nintendo Power Magazine. One day i received an innocent vhs tape in the mail from Nintendo. It was a promotional video for Pokemon. It was then, after watching the video, that i became a Pokemaniac. I could not wait for the release of the video game, which got as soon as possible. My addiction spread rapidly and i sucked up anything Pokemon that i could get my hands on. this included the trading card game. While i had never experienced a trading card game before, i loved it. I collected and played for several years. Then i sold my collection one day at school luckily right before the fad dropped off. I was out of the loop for several years before i got me step-son into pokemon cards which he picked up on right away. This eventually led to us trying the Warcraft TCG since we all played and enjoyed World of Warcraft at the time. Now since we have stopped playing Warcraft i have been feeling the itch. The itch to collect, and trade, and match wits on the field of table combat. we have picked up the trading card game magic the gathering. Any time we would be in the store the magic decks would beckon to me like a faint whisper. Eventually the whisper began growing louder until i could ignore it no longer. I got a starter deck for my son and i. I consider it a polished version of the Warcraft game. While i do understand Magic came first i played magic after warcraft. I am loving this new and relatively easy to pick up card game. Except for the fact that my other halves' planer, deck we got her, stomps me 3 out of 4 times. Oh well, go figure. -Kc

Amazing. in a word this is my kind of movie. It was the perfect balance of gritty action, suspense, and suprise twists. I loved it. of course it was one of the movies that Kristy (my gf) wanted to see and i did not. I ended up being on the edge of my seat the whole time while she did not even watch it. She is kicking herself now for not watching it especially because i keep bringing it up when i see previews or another film that Gerard Butler has been in. Now as a disclaimer i will say right now that the movies that i like are not because they are award wining, Oscar nominated, films. I am not a critic by any means, nor am i able to go in depth about a movie and why it was a great film. i can tell you what i thought, what my opinion of the film was. With that said, go see this movie, it was great and totally worth the 2 dollars i spent at the red-box machine. -Kc

P.s. If this post seems a little sloppy, that is because it is fueled by a Glenlivet and a few Jamison's. :)
