What Does the Future Hold?

I attempt to consider what the future holds for me and I can only manage to hold a few dozen possibilities in my mind at once. The variations are as our parents told us, infinite. We can be almost anything we wish to be. The real decision which many of us put off, giving one … Continue reading What Does the Future Hold? →

Its Just Past Midnight

It is just past midnight, and I lie here looking into your eyes and I see a beauty like heaven's skies. Your soft laughter and sweet smile are like that of angelic kisses upon my heart and soul. I wish that I didn't have to go, that I could stay here with you in my … Continue reading Its Just Past Midnight →

Never Forgotten

There was never a shortage of smiles, nor a lack of laugh's when he was around. Nathaniel Smith was a husband, father,mentor and hero to his wife, children, grand children, and great grandchild. His actions inspired, while his words spoke of wisdom, both were always intertwined with his unique jovial sarcasm. He viewed every day … Continue reading Never Forgotten →

Mistborn Trilogy

It took some time to finish this trilogy. Partially because I was invested in the hunger games trilogy, and partly for the fact that I didn't want it to end. A very good friend of mine spoke of this series years ago. I brushed it aside like sand, yet it continually reemerged in our conversations. … Continue reading Mistborn Trilogy →

Life’s Carousel

It seems to me, the meaning of life is lost. Maybe that is why no one knows it. As if the human race is on a carousel trying to look out at the crowd. Yet we are all moving far too fast to find our loved one's hidden among the blurred faces. Constantly moving, swirling … Continue reading Life’s Carousel →

Catching Fire

I am hard pressed to say that Catching Fire, book two of the Hunger Games series, is even better than the first book, but it is. Just when I thought I knew what was going on, just when I felt like I had a moment to feel relaxed, everything is ripped away. My world is … Continue reading Catching Fire →

Mistborn Review

According to a very good friend of mine, this is second best only to Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I would have to agree with him on this account. Brandon Sanderson creates a stunning system and follows it up with one twist after another. It was very difficult to put this book down because … Continue reading Mistborn Review →

Hunger Games Review

To simply describe this book as amazing would be a huge understatement. Such a simple description would not do it justice. Everything from the characters to the plot and sub plots were all very well put together. From the first page I was hooked and could barely put the book down. I had to force … Continue reading Hunger Games Review →

More on the way……

I will not try to come up with an excuse to why it has been so long since my last post, but I will attempt to decrease the time between my posts. However, I do have some good news regarding the forward progression of Mile 29. I have decided to quit one of my jobs, … Continue reading More on the way…… →
