Okay, so I have two formal rejection letters, a second place nomination for a contest (but no actual award or prize, it was only for the first place winner!), and three stories I'm working on. One's horror, the other two sci-fi/fantasy. Hopefully someone will read one of them and like it enough to publish it.
It would be nice.

I'm so lonesome I could cry...
Today was a really crappy morning. The train was late, the bus was late, the friggin everything was late. Except the crazies that walk the streets near and about Union Station here in L.A.
It still amazes me that sane people really want to try and have mentally ill people believe that they can be sane by believing in Jesus Christ, their Almighty Savior and Lord. What a bunch of crap. And that is when I truly feel sorry for the mentally ill being preyed upon by the Religiously Ill. Why can't Bible thumpers leave everyone else alone? This country was partially founded on the ideal that you can get away from religious persecution, yet here we are in the 21st Century and we haven't changed any since the Dark Ages.
We're such pathetic lifeforms at times. It's amazing that we've survived as long as we have.
Amazing what happens when you're allowed to say what you want on the net when you've had the beginnings of a bad day with very little sleep.

On Writing
Whatever writing is to most people it isn't to me.
It's a chore,
It's stupid and a waste of time,
I hate writing,
I suck at writing.
That's typically what I've heard from people who LOVE to read but Hate to write.
I love both to the point that I've amassed all these notebooks from Staples and the 99 cents Store just to keep up with my output of ideas. I don't just hoard them like some crazy loon though, I write stories, some connected to this epic I'm writing, not to be confused with the Great American Novel that every red blooded American is supposed to write. I think that's a bunch of Shite, plain and simple. There will never be one Great American Novel. To many Americans have been trying and will try. Despite what the rest of the world thinks, we are a very talented lot, even if they do think us barbarians.
Sorry for the tangent.
anywho, this is yet another form of getting rid of the crap that's in my head so that I can write my story. If anything just to entertain myself, don't really care if no one else in the world reads this, it's here if you want it, it'll be here if you don't. The beauty of the Internet.

What ya say, what ya say?
So, this profound statement my brother said was this, upon talking about stories and nightmares and angels and demons he said this about the Devil, and yes we believe in him, to not is rash and foolish.
The devil can give you anything you want, but can he give you Heaven?
In that moment I realized how much thought went into that question and realized how brilliant he is. My brother, not the devil. so that was the thinking behind the blog's title. Just a well thought out statement and question.
Genius is sometimes hidden in what is decaying
and what was decaying was our family.

In the Beginning...
There was a conversation I once had with my younger brother. He said something so profound for someone his age that I never ever forgot it.
