Growin' up, my mom didn't believe in corporal punishment; my dad would slap me once in a while, and he totally let his parents wail on my little brother once for a minor offence (when my bro was 3, he opened a fridge door at our grandparents house.…
For my funeral, I'd want anyone attending to suffer through "Casey Jones" by The Grateful Dead. (A personal favorite song of mine, actually). Why? Almost solely for the line: Driving that train, high on cocaine.
When was the e-mail sent out? I don't think I got it. But much like everyone else here, I've been kinda slidin'on TWB lately (so maybe I'm just that behind).
I sort of agree. But like James said, this is what we grew up with and know. However -- I do agree moreso now that Disney has acquired the rights to Marvel Comics than I used to.
Okay. James has some really interestin' ideas here. I'd be willin' to participate.
Oh: And I also joined your Facebook fanpage, and I recommended it to a few people.
Haha, Doctor Who is awesome! Look forward to readin' more.
This guy might have something here. Also, Joe Author is a good penname.
I'm game. But ya'know, I have never considered self-publishing...as I have zero funds at the moment and zero completed work. Could be a way to go if I ever get my act together.

WHO AM I?
That seems a simple enough question to answer. I am...Cary. I'm a writer, like so many others here. And I'm an avid reader, which seems to be something I only rediscovered a few years ago.
My dream job is to write comic books. And, in my weaker moments, I've unsuccessfully submitted to...MAD Magazine. But thanks to a lack of artistic talent on my part, my outlets are very limited.
What, you may be asking yourself, does this Cary fellow do other than writing? Well...not much else. I'm a sports fan...I enjoy baseball and some football. I collect shot glasses, among other things. I wear a lot of hats, but I'm not balding...yet. I'm a homebody (there really isn't much to do where I live anyhow). I love Star Wars. And, uhm...I suppose I'm into the usual stuff.
There, that's me.

ANGEL: A SONNET
So iced and cold this woeful winter morn;
This slate of earth beneath trembles and quakes.
This humbled man before you, lying torn,
When great stone monuments yield to the shake.
The earth, gone, overtaken by a mist.
The place known as yesteryear demolished.
All the worlds, in rocky shards, lie adrift.
Tell me, where may I seek some great solace?
A vice, it tightens around beating hearts,
Spy-eyes tearfully spot, lips unto lips.
From the symphony, play for me mourn harp… Continue

Blindogg said… - I've read the first fifteen chapters of Pilgrim's Banner and it's pretty good. It moves right along and it's got an interesting premise. I would recommend it.

James Waters AKA. NineSpeed said… - Okay Cary, Blindogg has posted his chapter. Your up. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I know it is going to be great. Good luck.

I'm curious. What did your mother consider to be blasphemous about the screenplay? Am I doomed to hell in her eyes?

Roswell_IcePrincess said… - As for skiing, I can't stand the cold. I have gone downhill skiing and cross country once. If you could ski when it's warm, then it would be awesome. I do like to waterski.
Have you been to Disney's Hollywood Studios in Disneyland? I have some pictures of the Star Wars stuff I will have to dig up and show you. The ride I remember was kind of lame. They have Star Wars weekends this summer which look really awesome but I have too many other things going on, doubt I could go.

- I wouldn't mind hanging out at Borders but I prefer Barnes and Noble. I love the bookstore. Do you ski? Don't they do that in Pennsylvania? I probably don't have a clue what I'm talking about because I have never been to Pennsylvania in my life but it sounds nice.
Would you mind sending me your myspace web address so I can check out your Star Wars pics? You can send it to Roswell_IcePrincess@yahoo.com if you don't want to broadcast it to everyone. I have a facebook page but no myspace. What else did they have at this Star Wars festival? I would love to go to one sometime. Where was the one you went to?

- Cary, I am also a huge Star Wars fan. I dig your picture. You say that there isn't much to do where you live. Where do you live? In the middle of nowhere? That is actually my dream place to live unfortunately I live in the suberbs.

- I did a report in high school on the Bermuda Triangle but the Chupacabra is much more entertaining.
