I have walked a mile with my dad around my neighborhood. Today in Miami it was grey and cloudy. We went to do errands afterwards. We got back home around noontime, and stayed at home. It was a heavy thunderstorm and then, a few hours later the day cleared. It turned into a bright beautiful day. It was blue with white clouds. I don’t know if some more will come, but it is hurricane season this year in Florida.

We bought lots of water. We have enough water to give us support.

I was working at the computer doing the architecture plans. I was reading also. I studied in an online class.

Yesterday I was watching about sprites that cause lots of lightning above clouds. They are lights that hover above the clouds in space to bring much lightning on Earth. They look beautiful. They look like jellyfish with lights. They aren’t creatures, but lights that cause clouds to burst much lightning. Some of the scientists took pictures of them, and they look incredible. It is amazing.

Today I was watching about Multiverses, and universes. I am learning much from astronomy. They say that a multi-verse is a place where they carry universes lined-up in every direction. They look like round balls that carry galaxies. It is much to take in, but love it.

Right now I am thinking of what I am learning about the Cosmos.

I was reading Blacklist by Brad Thor. I am half-way into it. I am thinking about reading The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking. I love how astrophysicists explain astronomy. My favorite scientist is Albert Einstein. He made wonderful and great discoveries. Sadly, he died in 1955. I think he was 63 years old around that time. R.I.P. Albert Einstein. He was pondering around an important question he made of I think of general relativity, but I could be wrong. Maybe, he was pondering another question, which including an importance on science.

I want to read so many histories of the world. I love European history and American history. I want to read about Alexander the Great, which I have. Events that have happened before that shaped the world of how it is right now.

Well, I hope most of you are happy and enjoying life as I am. Being happy and loving others is the best thing. Hating people is the worst you can do, because it is venom in your veins. Love wins. Always.

I will read instead of watching TV. I have so many writing reference books that I will love to read. It keeps me up to date on the craft of writing. What I will say is do what makes you happy. I know I am. I am blessed. Stay safe, my friends! 🙂

As with all my other books before, I have created a playlist, an unofficial soundtrack, of songs that helped inspire After Death, the third installment in the Cemetery Tours series.  We still have a little over a month before After Death is released, but I wanted to share the soundtrack with you today!  It’s been such a fun, lovely week.  I hope everyone else’s has been just as wonderful.

If you’re interested, you can find the soundtrack to the first Cemetery Tours book here.  Between Worlds soundtrack is here.  Please note that this is an unofficial soundtrack. I am not selling these songs or benefiting from them in any way.

Movies I Love!

I love Al Pacino and Robert Deniro movies. They are awesome! The best movies they were in so far were The Godfather Trilogy movies. I especially loved the remake of Scarface. Anything that is about crime and cops involved I love to watch. I have the whole Godfather movies in one set DVD box. It’s there if I want to watch it. I also have the movie American Gangster starring Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington. Those movies are great and awesome. Another movie I liked much is Once Upon A Crime in America. This was an excellent movie.

I was reading books today.

I used to like Star Wars when I was a kid, but still love it as an adult. I think other movies we outgrow them, but adult movies, and science fiction we never outgrow them.

I loved American Hustle. I can’t wait to watch the last Hunger Games movie when it comes digital available!!!

The best movie I love so far, which is my favorite is American Gangster, and of course Freedom Writers (because I’m a writer.)

I saw Blood Ties a few days ago and liked it.

One movie I love from history, which is fiction is called Dances With Wolves. I love that movie. Kevin Costner gave a best performance in it. It is a touching movie.

Be Happy And The Next Year Will Be Great For Most Of You

I am happy for everything in my life and am proud of myself. It is hard for me to lose weight, since there is much food in restaurants, commercial ads, and sugary drinks attracts most people like us. But, I am trying to use my willpower against it. One thing that I do is try not to think of foods and drinks all the time. I know this is difficult for most of you, but you can get old and wrinkly while your still fat. It will be harder to do things when your are much older, and can’t do the things you’ve once did before. Eating much foods and drinking cool drinks isn’t cool. I will have a stop on that, but am not obese. This is a very good thing, but still need to lose all of my weight. I will do much exercise and will start again to lift weights and do abdominals. I don’t want to get fooled by sugary drinks and foods when they appear. Fat foods and drinks fool everyone. This time it won’t fool me in the future. I want to drink lots of water.

I have done my class homework. I feel like I have done a good short story. I am focused on my grammar. For all of you I advise you to lose weights and exercise all the time. We won’t be here much longer, so give your full effort to live life, rather then regretting it. Be happy, because you don’t want to be a grumpy old person thinking negative.

This year is great for me, and the next year will be better. I am thinking about exercises and weights. I am fully obsessed over those two important things.

The movie and novel that should be number one is The Godfather. It should be in the literature world and movie world. I know all those characters are bad guys, but it is beautifully written and the movie is well-directed and perfectly-produced. The perfect novel and movie. I know also, that it involves the mafia in both genre, but I love those movies. The best movie and novel of all-time. This is how I view it and it is my opinion.

It is very hard to write a novel like Gone With The Wind, but you have to remember it was written in the early 20th century. Yet it is a great novel and the movie itself is beautiful. I think that the author has stayed true to its novel. She has created characters that will be loved for a lifetime. I think this novel should be number two in the literary entertainment, and then third comes the Harry Potter novels.

I don’t know if the category rankings are correct, but it is how I view it. I feel about my rankings from my experience as a writer. Most of you can disagree with me, and can have your very own rankings of novels and movies. Be happy, stay safe and happy. The Next year shows much promise for the most of us.

I did my errands. I have walked a mile around my neighborhood.

I have watched The Fabric of the Cosmos today. I find it that I understood most of the stuff they were discussing. I now understand how the cosmos is weird and strange. The laws are far stranger.

It is raining right now. I am at home happy.

I did my homework and found it to be educational. I learned much things about writing a fantasy story. I find it that it isn’t as simple as some might think it is.

I am happy for the plants, because it is raining. They are receiving their food. They love this day, because they are receiving water.

I was learning how to drive and now am comfortable driving. Don’t have much experience, but am learning. I am a late bloomer for driving. I know it sounds funny to some of you, but have no problem with it whatsoever.

It all seems so dark at my home. The clouds make it so when the day gets cloudy with grey clouds. Yesterday I was watching a documentary of Charles Manson, and now know part of his story. It shows that he used the 60’s culture to kill people and be an idealist for the decade. It is a very bizarre documentary.

It takes a lot of studying about vampires and wolves to write novels involving them. The best example is Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series. I think these novels are easy to read. It is for young adults, but anyone can read them.

J.K. Rowling has found success with the Harry Potter saga. She has written a novella from the Harry Potter novels. She did the smart move to market these books. In my view it was the best move from her.

I have walked a mile with my dad. I am going to seal the architecture plans. Yesterday I worked architecture work in my dad’s computer. I did my dad’s errands.

It came to me that I seem to understand astronomy, nut not all of it, and most of it. I know, which means a lot. But, not the quantity I would love to know. I guess I have to be satisfied with what I already know, because some other people don’t know it as much as I do. Astronomy is beautiful, but you have to understand mathematics, as well.

There is a lot I need to do. I need to do my class homework, which I will get right on it. The grammar I am studying it, and now love it. I love words, and all of literature. I am obsessed with it.

This is a short brief post, so I will be signing-off, and writing-off for today. Stay safe, friends!!! 🙂

Off Schedule

The two year anniversary of Cemetery Tours! If you haven’t read it! Please do! It’s a very good novel. The best time to read it. Happy anniversary of Cemetery Tours!!!! Congratulations, Jackie!!! 🙂

Those of you who keep up with my blog know that I usually post a few times a week, and I usually publish those posts early afternoon.  My schedule has been a little off this week because I’ve been waking up early to go take care of my god-pup.  Okay, technically, my friend hasn’t actually asked me to be his godmother, but I’ve decided that I am.  As you may or may not know, however, I am a night owl.  My natural bedtime is 3-4 AM.  That doesn’t change when I have to wake up four or five hours later.  This new routine has resulted in midday nap time for me, around the same time I’m usually writing my blog post.  So yeah.  Just thought I’d let y’all know that I am still a live and functional.  I’m just sleeping a lot in the middle of the day to make…

I can’t wait for the Miami Heat basketball to start. They will have a successful year. I can’t also wait for the Miami Hurricanes football and basketball teams to start playing also. I am so excited for these teams.

My parents are here now, but are downstairs and I am upstairs. I am writing this post.

I will study my grammar today. It is difficult, but I somehow understand some of it. I haven’t gone through the most difficult parts yet. I am learning from starters.

It feels great that I walk around the neighborhood with my dad everyday. I don’t mean to repeat myself, but can’t help it.

Class is doing great. I am learning much stuff once I get the hang of it.

Well, I am writing-off. Stay safe, people!

I have found time to be busy in my class and do my blog. I am still studying. I have read the recent lesson twice. I have forgotten about grammar, but will pick it up tomorrow.

I have gone out to do some errands with my dad. I was sealing the plans, and doing architecture work in the computer. I have walked a mile with my dad.

Right now this is a short brief post, because I will be studying more often today. We’ll see If I post the next day, or some other time. Be happy and positive, my friends!!! 🙂
