Fascination is now published and officially available for purchase in paperback form! It can be purchased from the same site/section as my other books. This makes book number 8! :-)

 Keeping busy, keeping busy. Hard to believe it is December once again. The holidays are upon us and I for one consider it a good thing. I know plenty of good things still await the human race.
 Of course I am still writing and publishing and posting and writing. I've neglected posting on here only because I once again find myself without regular access to the internet. Nowadays I do most of my posting via my Android smartphone.
 I published my seventh poetry novel quite some time ago. It is titled Pythagorean and can be purchased from the same site where all of my books are available for purchase. A few days ago I completed work on my eighth poetic amalgamation. I've titled it Fascination. It is not quite yet available for purchase but only because I am putting the final touches on it. In addition to it being another poetic feat it will also include some of my short stories and other prose works which have never been gathered in book form before.
 In regards to the status of my novel, Aperture, I have already passed my own expectations. Meaning... I have only the final chapter to flesh out. I cannot say exactly how it will end but it promises to be very engaging and introspective. If you have yet to download the free preview of Aperture I encourage you to please do so. The link is right on the home page.
 I may post another couple of updates soon. Thanks for viewing my site and blog(s)! Peace. Later.

  Chaos seems to be a requirement these days. But not in the way we’re used to. Much has been lost and much is to follow. Let’s not forget that each future moment contains the potential for more future moments. Moving, walking, dancing, running. These are all simple methods by which we expend and share kinetic energy.

  There is perhaps more unused energy within us than there are gas guzzling vehicles on the road. True. How much are you willing to bet that we will advance to the state of pure energy? By which of course I mean shedding our physicality permanently and effortlessly.

  I know it sounds foolish. But it is foolishness that keeps us going. Well, foolishness and oxygen. I once tried to stare deep in between the space between existence. You know… the dark matter which divides and supports all celestial bodies.

  It takes some getting used to but is well worth the strain. If only every human being could stop focusing on material things and devote more of themselves to constructive goals and aspirations. I understand that we all have our own personal paths to maintain and whatnot. But I also know that most of us do whatever we can to deny this fact.

  Drowning our sorrows and fighting all the wrong fights for all the wrong reasons. War and poverty then dilute us and tear at what is left of our souls. Not to mention all the mundane minutiae we’ve been forced fed from day one. Is this really what you believe in? Surely you know there is another way.

  You must know. We must know. Our barbaric ways did help us out back when we had to hunt and gather our food. But do we really need to cling to such states of aggression today? Maybe we do but I am more than willing to do away with that and all negative emotions.

  Society is a funny system.

“ If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water. ”

    ― Ernest Hemingway

I can no longer allow one ounce of my energy to be wasted on things like vanity, insecurity, blind relationships. I know that because I am only human I will often succumb to many energy drainers. So, I've decided to at least make a concerted effort at controlling the types of energy drainers I become involved in.

 On another note, I have my second dental cleaning scheduled for tomorrow. I must admit a part of me does not want to go but not because I am afraid or anything. Well... it is the expense that frightens me the most. But I know that I should just buck up and get the process over with.

 All is going according to plan. Yes. Not much else to divulge at this juncture other than the fact that I am currently alternating between my painting and writing. I approach both in the same way; with pure spontaneity. To see examples of my artwork visit my art blog here: www.maniacalartist.blogspot.com

 I've uploaded two new works to the WORKS section. They are titled The Bar and Familiar Self. Please feel free to download them, read them and share them.

 My other blogs have been receiving the bulk of my attention lately. I rarely post here because up until recently I had no viable means of connecting to the site. But just yesterday I finally got my own wireless home signal setup. I got a pretty good deal with my local cable company; at least as far as the rest of this year is concerned.

 One of my blogs, http://budhhkist.wordpress.com , was just recently nominated and awarded the Versatile Blogger Award. It is more of an honorary title than monetary. And it also serves to give a blog more exposure and viewability throughout the online blogging community.

 In other news, my sixth self published book Rufescent is now available through lulu.com. Just click on the My Published Books section of this site and you will be transported to my personal author's spotlight. I just received my own copy a couple of days ago and it turned out great. I really admire the cover design I created. I am still working on many other projects but also making sure I don't tackle too many at once. My novel Aperture seems to be slowly gaining an audience via the two chapter preview I made available for download. I am very, very close to finishing it and I suppose I am taking my time with the ending because I've grown too attached to the characters and twisted plot. Rest assured, I WILL finish it!

 I'm also reconsidering redesigning my whole site but I'm reconsidering a lot of things at the moment. For now, I like its core simplicity.

 I'll post another update soon and a few more poems/stories. Stay cool all you marvelous humans! :-)
