***TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS***
I prepared two speeches tonight. Hopefully, I’ll get to use
the one in my left pocket. No, I have no idea what that means either; I just
heard it on an episode of The Shield. Let’s get started, shall we.
***LUNATIC JUSTICE***
First and foremost, it finally happened. My third collection
of poetry, Lunatic Justice, is currently online in paperback and (soon to be)
Kindle format, though it’ll take a few days for the book to actually be
buyable. The poems cover a wide variety of topics whether it’s politics, anger,
violence, drugs, bullying, or even something as simple as being stuck in
traffic. There are a few comedy songs in there too whether it’s the David Bowie
parody “Ground Control to Uncle Tom” or the ridiculously put-together “Conspiracy
Theory”. This book is geared towards mature audiences due to the abundance of
cursing, sex references, and delicious bloody violence.

***SILENT WARRIOR, CHAPTER 7***
Remember how I said a few blogs ago how I would never post
sex-oriented chapters of Silent Warrior online? Well, my lovely beta reader
Marie Krepps suggested that I post them to a safe haven for this kind of
content, Wattpad. I wrote chapter seven two days ago and it’s there now if you
want to read it. I should warn you all that it’s not all hot and spicy action.
There’s some heart-wrenching drama shortly after Scott George gets done
stroking his meat. Your hard-on will be dead by the time this chapter is over.

I’d give you all the direct link to chapter seven, but I’m
exercising a little caution with this one since this blog entry is going live
on my non-mature social media accounts.
***SILENT WARRIOR SIDE NOTE: TITLE***
The further I get into writing this novel, the more I
question whether Silent Warrior is the best title for it. Sure, it sounds cool
and all, but Scott George is neither silent nor a warrior. He’s very outspoken
about his opinions and the most violent thing he’s done in this story so far is
strangle Alan Young over the back of a bus seat (not to mention that Alan lives
through the whole thing). Maybe something I can do tonight is brainstorm a list
of possible alternatives for titles. One that I’m thinking about is “A
Community of Worms”, which is a reference to the nightmare Scott has in the
opening chapter. And yes, that nightmare and its characters will factor into
the novel later on, in case you were wondering. I can’t think of any other
title ideas at the moment, so I’ll leave it to you guys to let me know what you
think of all of this.
***LYRICS OF THE DAY***
“I don’t want to spend the rest of my life looking at the
barrel of an Armalite. I don’t want to spend the rest of my days keeping out of
trouble like the soldiers say. I don’t want to spend my time in hell looking at
the walls of a prison cell. I don’t ever want to play the part of a statistic
on a government chart. It’s dark all day and it glows all night. Factory smoke
and acetylene light. I face the day with my head caved in looking like
something that the cat brought in. And they’re only going to change this place
by killing everybody in the human race. They would kill me for a cigarette. But
I don’t even want to die just yet. There has to be an invisible sun. It gives
its heat to everyone. There has to be an invisible sun. It gives us hope when
the whole day’s done.”
