They said it couldn't be done... okay. No, they didn't. They don't even know I'm trying to do it. But I am: I'm counting down every song on my ever-expanding list of songs on my iPod... from 1 to 10,000, I'll keep on pushing the rock up that hill even if the hill keeps getting higher. Here they all are... coupled with my thoughts on, you know, stuff.
Life is what happens when you're not working. -- Me.
Jobs vs. Life is my attempt to explore and explain that quote. I've always believed that life happens around work... but there's no denying that a big part of life is made up of work. I've been working since I was 13, and I'll probably work until I'm 70, or more. Hours and hours, days and days, years and years, of doing things that I'd rather not have been doing. What'd I get out of it? We'll see, as I review each and every job I've ever had and what I think about it at this point of my life? Job One: The Paperboy:
Just Exactly How Life Looks: a book of short stories in which you'll be introduced to unforgettable people living remarkable lives.
Cowboys wander in a timeless desert.
Scientists meet in secret to plot a new way to get attention, and money, from people.
A man and his would-be lover try to find lions on safari, and more.
The people and places in this book spring to life fully-formed and full of anxiety and imagination. They worry about the time they have had and the time they have left. They bury their loved ones and look for new friends. They talk and laugh and hope and cry and die, while their friends and family and enemies and Gods watch them, seeing, in their faces and actions and fears, a portrait of just exactly how life looks.
Claudius wanted to be the first man to reach the stars... and maybe he was.
In a stunning psychological horror work, "Eclipse" unfolds slowly, beginning with Claudius drifting through space after something has gone wrong with his mission. As he stares at the only thing he can see, a tiny rock off in space, he mulls the events that led him here, reflecting on his childhood and the mission-turned-into-murder. Or did things go bad? In "Eclipse" s the story, the reader is treated to a twisting, constantly changing landscape created by Claudius' own mind, as version after version of what-might-have-happened pile on. One thing is clear, though: Something has gone wrong, and Claudius may never reach the stars. Or will he?
