While we have the gift of life, it seems to me that only tragedy is to allow part of us to die – whether it is our spirit, our creativity, or our glorious uniqueness.

The author would like to officially state that he did NOT, actually, take over the world, Or the state, for that matter. He was merely using his artistic license to devise a somewhat interesting blog entry. Being in Marsiling can be pretty slow in August.

P.S I will posting pictures of my new book rack later.

In an age where anyone can speak up, and anyone can criticize you, the first reaction of many folks is to hit back hard — even trying to take down critical info. As we all know, that’s exactly the wrong thing to do. But, it’s still quite difficult to turn something that’s negative into a positive quite as well as video game company EA just did.

When last year’s version of EA’s Tiger Woods golfing game came out, some users made a video jokingly pointing out that a glitch in the game allows Tiger Woods to stand in the middle of a water trap and take a shot:

With this year’s version coming out, EA actually took that video as inspiration for a new ad, “responding” to that video, by showing that it wasn’t a “glitch” at all, but that Tiger really can walk on water and hit a golf ball:

Brain.
At any moment it is said we only use 10% of it.
We could have been so much more.
But our desire to worship ruins everything.

Problems.
Everyone has them.
Poachers of humanity often are the first to lend a hand.

Time.
The method of destruction.
No matter what we accomplish Time will see to it.

Rules.
Every civilization since the dawn of time had them.
We obey them.

A few of us are hated because we have what others do not.
Power. Distinction. Purpose.
And so we are hunted and hounded.

Item 1. Today I drew 23 sketches of a nude woman. 700 remain.

Item 2. I’m on a comic reading spree. World War Hulk was great!

Item 3. One of my Secret Plans currently is to buy a Rack from IKEA to solve my book problem

Item 4. I won’t be recommending “Men Behind the Sun” to anyone. It’s really a sick and disturbing film about the war atrocities committed by the Japanese at Unit 731, the secret biological weapons experimentation unit of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II
