Halloween Edition

     Happy Halloween/Samhain/Fall Festival everyone! I don't have much planned for today really. These days Halloween just isn't that important to me anymore. I did go to a Halloween part last week and will be going to another one this afternoon, but don't plan on dressing up for this one. We had some storms over the past day or so and today started clear and sunny and a bit warm, but grey clouds and cold air quickly rolled in. November is Testicular Cancer Awareness month. In observation men aren't supposed to shave for November. I am interested to see what my beard will look like come December 1st! I will have to post a pic. In fact that will be the first pic of myself I have posted on here I believe. Forbes has placed President Obama as second most powerful man in the world, behind Vladimir Putin. I didn't see that coming. Kind of stings for Americans doesn't it?

     The days we are living in, are very interesting and exciting ones. It is true that reality is stranger than fiction. We live our lives like characters in a movie or a book (like the characters in 'Illuminatus!').  This is your story, live it. There are three things that I would suggest you look into and study, or at least observe. In the Left Behind film series take notice of your reaction and impression of Nicolai Carpathia. LB debuted 12 years ago. In Stephen King's The Stand Randall Flagg is the villain. A sort of Antichrist and one of my favorite (if not number one) villains. I prefer the character from the book, as he is most scariest to me, but the movie version is great too. Also, Oprah Winfrey made a movie called Beloved based off the book. A whole paper could be written about that movie. I encourage you to see it In fact these would make good Halloween movies to watch.

Locked In My Novel


     We had some storms last night. I slept through them. I thought that they had passed that night, but sometime this morning we got a lot of rain and lightening. I am glad to see weather like this again. If you think back to the weather of recent years, you see evidence of climate change. I remember stormy springs, and days and days of rain in the summer here in Oklahoma. Now our weather is so chaotic here, it has become without pattern. Today is grey without the obvious presence of humidity. It rained for a little bit a few minutes ago. It may rain on and off all day. I have no idea what the forecast is. More storms probably.

     I have been reading The Drawing of the Three: The Dark Tower II so I will not lie, that I have spent less time on my Bible and Qur'an studies, but I have kept it up some what. I have a limited time to finish the Stephen King book, so I have been focused on that one. I have been less spiritual focused in the last few days, because of distractions in my personal life. That shouldn't be an excuse,  but that is how it happened. However, I try to live every moment of my life as an act of worship to God.

Is 10/28/2013 A Date to 'Watch For'?
