Well here's a surprise

Among the many, many things in this world that make me furious and sometimes even nauseas there is a small collection of things that I enjoy. I must apologize, however, this is probably going to be my shortest post ever. That was a little attempt at humor. And now I am both telling unfunny jokes at my own expense and talking to myself through a diary-like website. If this was a dating site this would be the point where, if you were a girl, you realized that if men like me exist; lesbians are your last hope at happiness. By now you may have realized that I am merely doing this to take up space in an attempt to make me look less depressing when i realize the part about what i enjoy in life, is only about 2 paragraphs long. And now to quote a song that is far before my time and probably far beyond my understanding, let the good times roll.

Writing has always put me at ease no matter what is going wrong in my life. It has a way of putting me at ease much in the same way a warm shower soothes you after a difficult day of work. I have always found some comfort in being able to put a piece of myself into words and occasionally sharing it for the amusement, or better yet aggravation, of others. A large portion of my writing, which i don't do here, is inspired by the books i read. Which is part two of my likes.

Books have always been important to me, and in many ways have made me who I am today. I am relatively picky about the books I read. In my younger years i dabbled in a bit of everything. However it wasn't until I was in eighth grade and I read "Enders Game" by Orson Scott Card that I found my true calling. The book I am referring to is of the science fiction genre. This furthered my interest in this specific area of reading, and later on in my life writing, so I looked a little further into it and expanded my area of enjoyment. I then read the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy by the ever popular J.R.R Tolkien. Who regrettably has been undermined by the also talented Peter Jackson, who did a fantastic job with the movies yet he does not deserve as much credit as he was given and is most definitely not as talented as Mr. Tolkien himself. But that is a rant for another time.

After having read the trilogy I began reading other books of the fantasy genre and discovered i was, in fact. A total nerd. Once I came to terms with this i found the two authors that have inspired almost everything i have written to date, minus all you see here this is 100 percent me and no one else. The two authors I speak of are the inventive John Scalzi and the imaginative Terry Brooks. I was turned on to both, at separate times, by a family member who has a similar taste in literature. I first read "Old Man's War" by John Scalzi which is a Sci-fi book and i fell in love with the idea, the characters and everything else that came with it. I then read the remaining books in the series and I have become a life-long Scalzi fan. After having read these i began writing stories of my own and i have continued ever since. I then read "Armageddons Children" by Terry Brooks which was a sort of futuristic fantasy book and I am currently reading the second book in the trilogy along with other series he has masterminded. His writing has made me envious of him and has shown me that writing is more than just an ability. It is an extension of your creativity, your being and in some ways your soul.

There are some minor things that I enjoy in this life such as music, so long as it has a message even if that message is that there is no message. I enjoy people in general, much like the court system with me you are great until proven worthless. I also love being able to have people close to me that will here out my very much unnecessary rants and will always sit patiently and intently as I read my latest literary creation. I love being able to make people laugh and to be with people who will do the same for me. Other than that I am a rather cynical person who enjoys the misfortune of others so long as it isn't life altering. Unless, of course, it was deserved in one way or another.

And that my avid readers is all for now. And as always, if you don't like what you see that don't mean shit to me.
