Ever since I was (emphasis on "was") insane, I've been doing a lot of thinking and learning. We all have our problems. We all deal with them differently. Me, I love to imagine my stories. I spent most of my days in college imagining myself to sleep imagining epics battles, the emotional turmoil of my characters, and how everything would turn out. I love that. I always want to do that.

I'm thinking of starting a series called "Flashes of Death." I would use different weapons to charge at the camera and then cut the film off at the last moment. What do you guys think?

In this story, I am the "one." Technically, I'm only about 25% German.

"If you will, I will give you a true story of two people. Both hail from Germany. One missed WWII by months, the other, years.
Both are tortured by the reality that is the War. Their ancestors killing millions of innocent lives without knowing better.
One tried to comfort the other, only to discover that the other can only be tortured by a past they never made.
Years, months, days...
They all fade with time.

Yeah... This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands.

I am starting a company called "Shirts Against Humanity." What we'll do is use these shirt making companies to print funny sayings on shirts, order them in mass, and ship them to individuals. So if you have any ideas for a saying, leave them in the comments.

Here are a couple:

"If zombies ate your brains, they'd starve."

"You may be going to hell, but I sure as hell ain't."

"I took my meds this morning. They make me feel normal."

A few weeks ago I went clinically insane. Yeah... Um... All I can say is it is no fun being clinically insane.

To be more specific, I went into what is called an "Anxiety Loop." It's when you enter a "flight or fight" mode without reasonable justification. To put that in English, I lost all trust in breathing organisms. Yes, breathing organisms. Luckily, no one go hurt. But it was scary.

If you were anything like I was starting out, you have come across the phrase show, don't tell quite often. If you were to ask what that means, most would not be able to tell you. I, on the other hand, might have figured it out.

I want to start with what is called an editorial*, or a statement used in opinion-editorials (op-eds) to quickly convey information:

"He regretted his decision."

As the title so deftly states, I am cancelling A Ghost Story. The thing is, I am interested in a good story. A Ghost Story just isn't it. I did not do nearly enough preparation to write anything of that caliber. To put it metaphorically, I tried to build a house on a pebble. Obviously the house quickly crumbled, and with it, my will to write.

Anytime I post a story update, it ends up being only one line. Today, it will be three.

1. New chapter of "A Ghost Story" is up and running if you want to read it.

2. First one-shot, "Applejack Cornered," is leveling the magical playing field.

3. Cutest. Freakin'. Stuffed Pig. Ever. Just saying.

I placed the last of my groceries on the turntable at the checkout, filling it to capacity. I could not help but feel a little guilty for spending so much of my parents' money, but I did have to take care of myself. A well fed mind gets A's after all.

As the clerk scanned and bagged the items, I put away the shopping cart, whipped out my wallet, and pulled out my green credit card. It had my name on it, but it was really never mine. I just had permission to use it.
