And Why Should Anyone Care?

The real answer to that question is there is no reason for anybody to care about who I am. Other than myself, naturally.

But I am moving ever forward towards my goal of a comics writing and editing career.

Besides, when I wrote a charming little piece entitled Why It Fails When Fangirls Attack (http://www.comicswaitingroom.com/vince2.html) last year, it showed that some of people cared about what I wrote. It was mostly slings and arrows. Yet it showed that, with the right topic, I could reach people. And, whenever I engage in the new fad of Googling oneself, that column still turns up as the most popular item under my name.

Not bad for a novice.

As it will come out next week in my column, Omnium Gatherum, my attempt at a large scale format covering a number of topics hasn't gone as well as I would have liked. I don't hide the fact that I'm often out of touch with the rest of the world. I'm still buying CDs while everyone else I know is buying MP3s. So I want more people to read my column. Yet I want to talk about all kinds of subjects, whatever strikes my fancy.

How to do that?

Well, duh, by entering the late 20th century and starting up a blog.

So, here I am.

And so it begins.

In the days to come, I hope to give anyone out there reading this a reason to care about what I say.

In the meantime, check out myspace.com/10_worlds_studio. That's the page for my partners in crime, showcasing our new comic, Lazarus: Immortal Coils. It's coming to a comics shop near you by the end of June. A couple of reviews are online and things are looking good.

Thanks for your time.

Namaste, y'all.

Day 26 of NaPoWriMo

And to send my first NaPoWriMo out in style, I'll do two poems a day. This was fun. Across Lands And Barriers Across lands and barriers do I reach, For someone to know. Someone who my open soul can show, A place upon my beach. It seems my heart has passed away To a beautiful one, With a life afire like the bright sun, And a smile for play. A pen to paper scribes many lines, For her, a love, A princess whose friendship is a dove, As truly is mine. So, an ode to she and I, the desire Across many lands, Reaches for bonds and joins our hands, Our hearts afire. Time And Space Across time and space there are many worlds, Many other homes where life whirls and twirls. Different in form and shape and size, Different to many different eyes. Yet all the same are the core, down in the soul, In the essence of life which is beyond our control. Which why two or more souls can touch and find Each other, finding their lives ever entertwined, Bound together in ways not easily explained, Bou...

Days 29 and 30 of NaPoWriMo

The Grand Finale. Five poems for two days. A Summer’s Day, Part 1 The sounds of the city echo and resonate, Telling of a useless busyness, a rush to nowhere. And the wind, the glorious wind Blows into the sails of my mind, Leading to paths known and unseen. A Summer’s Day, Part 2 A pool of still water reflects The deepness of the world’s soul, Full of the dreams of all, Empty from the strains of the sky. A pool of still water projects The quiet of my own soul, Peaceful within my world, Hectic from the world outside. A Summer’s Day, Part 3 The sun shines down upon the just and unjust, Sharing its light with all. Making no judgments of the kind of men Who bask in its warmth. Yet the eyes that use this summer light to see Judge all that falls within view, Seeing without fully seeing The souls beneath the flesh Nor understanding That karma and kismet tend to all. A Fragrance bittersweetness fills the air, wiping away all my care, strips my soul and lays it bare to all the beauty that’s the...

Omnium Gatherum #85: Killing Them With Kindness, For Their Own Good

Howdy, folks! Welcome once again to the Omnium Gatherum. Or, if you’re new here, welcome to the Omnium Gatherum. This time around I thought I would take you folks on a different kind of journey with a different kind of outsider viewpoint. Right up until the time When Corona-Chan Came To Town, I had been attending classes at one of my local community colleges in English and Journalism, mostly to stretch those formal learning and realization muscles again. Along the way, naturally, I had to write papers on various topics, depending on the class. All of this is to preface this column which will take on a quasi-academic tone as it explores the topic of Ozymandias from Watchmen and whether his actions were or could be justified as good and/or heroic and by what standard.  Let us begin. One of the most classic yet modern time travel story plots is a traveler or travelers going back in time to kill Hitler before he gets going. Many people would easily say yes to taking such an action—in t...
