Still Alive, Apparently, Mr Blog - But Why?

I look back on dozens of posts from years and years of thoughts, and wonder what was it all for?

I've stopped writing. I've stopped reading. I suppose I've stopped living. I don't do much of anything these days. I don't ride my RC51, I stopped traveling. Where has my creativity gone? I'm glad, in a way, that I stumbled onto this blog. I used to have such faith, in my skills as a writer, in the future - but now, the world is shit. If some far-off extraterrestrial race is rewinding time and surfing the waves of time and finds this tiny, inconsequential site, perhaps they'd be curious to know how far we've fallen, the human race.

President Trump (yes, my friends from Zeta Reticuli, I said President Trump) has ushered in a new world order of indecency, neo-McCarthyism at the Free Press and anointed them all Fake News. Antifa marches violently in the streets of West Coast cities and proudly spews hate speech. The President of the United States of America is a Russian agent; China is marching toward the world's largest economy, a caravan of "immigrants" and "refugees" are crashing the US border with Mexico and the world's most evil corporations are the Silicon Valley Axis: Google, Facebook, Apple and Twitter. They have created an internet where freedom no longer exists and net neutrality is dead. The changes that we're seeing in the world have backhanded us all back into slavery of the mind, and The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave is too busy sitting on fat, stuffed asses with smartphones and social media and have acquiesced to corporate takeover of America.

I think of what the world has become and it's no longer a mystery to me why I have lost creativity, why I have even lost interest in being a part of this world. I've cut myself off from social media as to no longer witness the death of Liberty. In the prophetic words of Real Life, send me an angel, send me an angel...right now. Send them all, Heaven, and cast out the devil and his minions in DC, the Democrats and Republicans alike who have sold out our country to other nation-states and corporations and highest bidders and destroyed this country from within.

What am I saying? This is not what this blog was intended for; I should be discussing my writing, and vampires, and pop culture and movies and music and Halloween, not politics. But it is amazing to me just how much things have changed since I posted on here regularly. Time is even in flux, and seems to be progressing much quicker than normal.



*Update: Today is 11/4/2023. I had long ago deleted this post, because what was it for? But I look back at just 5 years ago and see a different person. I despised President Trump at first, but then really became a fan of his America First policy. We can all see that the Russian collusion stories were completely fabricated. And China is in economic peril today. We had a pandemic that completely changed the world, not for the better.

And good grief the world is in turmoil more than I have ever seen in my lifetime. I'm only updating this old post because it's interesting to see how my perspective has changed about a few things today. How divided our country is about every single topic. Today my opinion is that I completely hate our society in 2023. I have gorged on a spiritual diet of nostalgia because today is just disgusting. Woke culture is pure evil. Today is one never-ending season of Twilight Zone proportions. Today's news headlines are completely designed in the mirrorverse, it seems. God help us all.

I'm bringing this blog back to life. I long ago stopped writing the novels I had created back in the early 2000s. I want to use this platform for more Halloween related stories, and nostalgia for those things I miss from that legendary time we called the 1980s and 1990s. As the world is transforming into whatever this is, I find myself looking more inward, toward spirituality, to God, and to the past. Looking back to the past too often is probably not the healthiest thing to do, but it's got to be better than what is going on now. I want to avoid the evil, divided nature of society and come here to enjoy things that make me happy. Hopefully it will make some of you happy too.

New Halloween Additions

There have been a few additions to the Halloween decorations and bric a brac here at the Haunted Mansion, Rumsey Island edition. While searching my parent's basement boxes for my old VHS collection I came across a few things I kept. My parents no longer decorate for Halloween, which breaks my heart. But now these things are with me now, so.... At Barnes and Noble the other day, T had disappeared for 10 minutes. When we got home I found out why. She had found, at the counter, this really cool Halloween advent calendar she surprised me with. It comes with this lil plush ghost for the days. Just look at 'im; he looks stoned on jack-o'-lantern stuffing or something. Or he's horrified he's stuck on this site because he didn't make it on Dinosaur Dracula... Next is Gerald from Target. I first saw this preppy pumpkin-head scarecrow a few days after Halloween a couple years ago, and when I returned next to pick him up, he was gone. Liquidated unt

Marketing

Is it ever too early to market your book? This question is retroactive to pre-publishing, too. I know very little about marketing. In fact, I guess I know nothing at all. My plan has always been, from the beginning, to get my story out there . To have people read it - that's the point to all of this. That's why this blog exists. And yet now I find myself searching for new, constructive ways to market this book. So far, I've been searching for an artist for the cover. I have it completely planned out, but I could screw up a stick figure, so I'll leave this to the pros. I'm wondering if it's too soon to design a website. Would a website even work for an unpublished work? I don't know. These are things I am looking into to help market my first novel. I've never had much use for an ego, but is self-promotion really egotistical? Or will it only hasten my prospect for publishing? Hmm.

Curse of Crom

Curse of Crom, The Legend of Halloween is a new favorite film. I watched this film last season, and I honestly fell in love with it right away. I ordered the bluray right after watching it on tubi or some other streamer, of which there were many showing Crom. Low-budget Indy flicks have never been my cuppa but this one had me at Halloween. The opening is Halloween 4-style perfection. It's incredibly earnest, for some reason I've used this word often when talking about this flick. What I mean is that low-budget or not the characters are in this film and they own it. I really like every single character. Steve, or Lil Rock, as I refer to him (Halem Medina) is the spitting image of a younger Dwayne Johnson. I do not accept that this guy is not the bastard son of the Rock. I shouldn't gossip, it doesn't become me. The scene where Steve finally sees the spirit is great. The next time we see him he is dressed in a costume of dead animals (or the likeness thereof, to protect
