Welcome to my foray into the magical and mystical world of bloggery.
And please, don’t take anything you see here too seriously. This is my take of the world, the way I see it. If I come off a little aggressive or arrogant sometimes it is just that there is no one’s opinion I value higher than my own. There is no one I had rather love to hear voice those opinions than…well, me.
I treasure truth over illusion, God over chaos and fun over the grim outlook that seems to permeate so much of the world today. So sit back and leave the driving to me. Check your prejudices at the door and embrace mine.
Come on in and have a look around
Today's Hogwash:
I've been busy writing another book. This one is a contemporary young adult fiction about a high school football player, (Strangely enough, not the quarterback. There have to be at least a million of those). But, while we are on the subject, did you know that over 3 million boys between the ages of 6 and 14 play organized tackle football each year and 1.14 million more play high school football. That's a hjeck of a lot of Friday night lights, isn't it?)
I figure with that many boys and a gooodly amount of girls who have at least a passing interest, if not in football, at least football players, there should be a market out there. So, I'm off to find a leterary agent that is willing and experienced young adult fiction for boys. I must say that I find it encouraging to find that not all boys is this country have been relegated to the Glee and Chest clubs.
Being smart and making good grades are possible for boys with a touch of masculinity, you know. Brain and braun together is still a pretty good combonation. I know, when my daughters are out on a date, I'll feel better to know if something were to happen, they wouldn't be left standing there alone fighting off an attacker wondering where there date ran off to.
Call me a Neanderthal if you like, but I'm just saying, masculinity isn't as much of a negative characteristic as it seems to be depicted so much these days. There ought to room for all types.
I'll let you know how the search for an agent who handles young adult contemporary fiction goes. I keep hearing the publishers are getting tired of wizard ghost zombies fighting vampire wereworlves in the Fairy world, but they keep cranking them out.
Love, peace and

There is, however, one exception. Johnny has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks him why he has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a Cowboy's fan" he reports. "Then," asks the teacher," What are you?" "I'm a Houston Texans fan," boasts the little boy. The teacher asks him why he is a Texans fan. "Well, my mom is a Texans fan and my dad is a Texans fan, so I'm a Texans fan too," he responds. "That's no reason," the teacher says. "What if your mom and dad were both retarded? What would that make you?" Johnny smiles and says, "Then I'd be a Cowboys fan." |
An Oldy but still funny.
The CEO
The secretary was leaving for the day when she saw the CEO standing at the shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. He looked perplexed, so she asked if she could help.
He said, "Listen, this is a very important document. Can you make this thing work?"
The secretary reached around the CEO and pressed the big green "ON" button on the side of the machine. She said, "There, just put the paper into the slot up on top and the machine, and the machine does the rest."
The CEO says, "Great" and watches the document disappear. With the echo of the machine's whirring still in the air, he asks, "What do I do if I need to make three copies?"
