Pirate's Game

In the long run, I believe that nothing great is achieved over night and that things should just fall into place if one is 'destined' ( big word - :D ) to do so.

Well, I don't think I'll ever have a carrer on stage, but I do have a part of the Simsbury Light Opera Company (Sloco) over the next two weekends - playing a pirate and opening the play. :D I'm not saying a thing, just shoving four boats across the stage and try to look as goofy as possible (since it's sorta a funny play) (don't know if I agree with that.. :D )

Anyway... It's fun and I am very proud to be part of the tradition of Sloco to show a stage-play ever year at the Simsbury High School. :D Besides the fact that the students look upon you as stupid walking in all dressed up - but that is part of being an entertainer - making people react in any way possible - and hopefully make them laugh out loud!

Book's Story

There are many things I wanted to do over the last years. But the one I wanted more than anything else was to get my story published, people reading and enjoying it.
My book has now been published for almost a year. I’m not doing a thing with it – why is a post by itself…

What I have to settle more for myself at the moment is that fact that I can’t explain what my book is all about in the first place.
“Tell me, what is your book about?” – I heard that question so many times, and every time I answer, I never have the feeling that I hit the spot – so, I got to find the spot without starting to tell the hours of the history concerning the world my book plays in.

My book tells the story of a universe, as we know it, which is torn between two sides. The side of the Gods, who rule the nations of the universe; and the Shasar, who live to bring down the power of the Gods and allow the nations to live free.

Still, the nations cannot relate and truly trust either form of godly presentation and have therefore been given the Prince of the Universe.

He is destined to rule the universe in the place of the Gods, one, watched over by the Shasar and the mediator between the mortals of the universe, and the immortal ones, who have been there before time.

On his journey, he must learn and do many things, including the decision to be on either side of the powers of his world. Yet in the end, everything evolves around one question even he cannot answer.

There is a power greater than him – one who called him to be Prince of the Universe – one who could do his job so much better and with ease. Why? … Why was he made the Ruler of the Realm in the Shadow of the Stars when does who protect him have the power to do the same?

Hurting to help?

It is hard to do things for somebody else - especially when it involves helping somebody. Or hurting them... How often has it been said?
It is ok to hurt somebody if it helps them. Like, leave someone if he or she is using you. Smart? The right thing to do? Probably, but not easy...

Stupid!

:) You know - this really sucks! I had just now a few paragraphs written - nice ones too - about the story I was writing, the book that is published and... I deleted it all. Why? Because someone who would read it could steel it and publish it!

How stupid was that? That is so not possible, (in a sense) because the story is published... but it really gave me a jolt and I thought it was for now more important to post that fact than the lines I had written about my story.

Really strange... It is amazing what fear can do to us...

Wedding-Pastor

I have been looking for a pastor who is ging to marry Josh and me for some time now, but it was not until today that I knew who it would be. :D Josh's old church has a new pastor and I went there to meet him and see how the church was doing... and I was struck by him.
He, Pastor J. doesn't know it yet - but in my head - he's officially the wedding-pastor. :D

Random thoughts...

I always thought that having plans for the future is a great and important thing... It is, but at the same time, they give me a lot of problems. Why? Because I got too many of them.

I want so much - and I know that everything is attainable - yet, I seem to get nowhere. Maybe I'm just impatient, maybe I should focus on one goal at the time to atcually get somewhere instead of floating around, barely moving foreward in any of them.

Then again, I think it's just like teaching a child multipe languages from the start. They will be much slower compared to the children their age, but as soon as things click, the child is fluent and makes a much smarter impression that the others - with all due respect!

So, what do I do? Stick around and just wait for things to happen? Don't know. I just know that my speed - or lack thereoff is driving me mad. ^^;

Every goal...

Every goal comes with a path. One needs to walk the distance and do what one must to get where one wants to be.
The higher the goal, the longer the way and usually, the steaper the cliff. But ...
one likes to hang on the wall - just sit there - exhausted, overwhelmed - thinking of letting go and just falling. It's so easy to fall - it happens by itself. You move without moving - but what does it do? Nothing. You move downhill.

You want to get on top of your aspirations. You need to work for it. You need to learn to have patience, perservirence and confidence that nobody can stop you. Because frankly, nobody has the right to stop what you want to do with your life. The only one who can is you!
