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.

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.

Let Me Just Say This

You know the saying, "It could be worse," right? And I understand it. Hell, I live it! I am absolutely the last person you would call ungrateful. I feel blessed, for lack of a better word. But I wonder sometimes just how mental I really am. Maybe it's just American culture. I'm the bi-product of decades of televisional (did I just create a new adjective?) violence and heroism and drama and love. So I often wonder what the big deal with life is all about. Before I get too deep, I'll explain. Via television or comic books or novels or whatever, only ghosts, robots, vampires, aliens and probably God exists. Here, in our reality, all of this stuff is science fiction. Well, that leaves a sour taste in my mouth sometimes. I mean, how boring is our reality really? While the cosmos completely make me rethink everything that I know and believe, here on Earth life is far from extraordinary. There are no men in blue and red tights flying through our soaring skyscrapers and ...

White Out!

Right now, it's a white-out; snow has covered everything. And lightning is lighting the earth up in blinding white brilliance - I'm in awe. Thunder now, rattling windows and echoing into oblivion. Candles are lit and I'm reading a ghost story and I'm feeling euphoric now. Diet Pepsi and Op, what a feeling.
