Where in the Hell have you been?

Things got dark around these parts for quite some time. Mainly because of a lack of ambition.

This lack of ambition stems from my life changing quite definitively next week.

My wife and I are uprooting ourselves and moving 2500 miles away.

To Pittsburgh we go!

This truly is the right decision and every event in the past few months has proven this fact again and again.

Goodbye California. I won't miss you

Updates up to date

I've been lazy lately.

I post these stupid BHM stuff but other than that, I don't keep up with regular posts.

Oh well.

A few things.





I Woke Up in Pittsburgh is on a small hiatus. Sam got stabbed and he's in the hospital.

The reason why he is stabbed is coming.

When I started the blog I just wrote it. And that's how I've treated it. Just a daily couple hundreds of words spur of the minute style. Well, I haven't been paying attention and a lot of stuff is flowing.

So while Sam is recuperating, I'm writing in advance. Trying to get a straight line through the plot.





I spend my days on the internet with a lot of webcomics. I'm completely transfixed on the artform, mainly because it is so completely alien to my awareness.

Here's a couple of the best I've found:

1. PVP Daily, or near daily, comic strip about a fictional gaming magazine. Been going strong for over ten years and still brings the funny.

2. Goblins Beautifully drawn fantasy based on D&D rules.

3. The Abominable Charles Christopher Fun randomness that is complete art.

The artist responsible for Abominable was commissioned by an indie band, Ragni, to make a short graphic novel for one of their albums.

I rarely use the word Stunning but that's the only way to describe it.

Book Trailers

One of my blog o sphere buddies put up this post that was a response to this post which is a contest based on these trailers.


Never one to back down from new ways to tell the same story, I spent a quiet night at home making a trailer for Sam the Man.



So thanks to the patience of my wife and the suggestion by proxy of Lady Glamis, I now have a trailer.

Enjoy and leave a comment with critiques.

BTW if you like what you saw please don't hesitate to visit Sam's site

Birkat Hachama

Today is a double update because it involves the same thing, Jewish holidays.

Today is the Blessing of the Sun, a once every twenty-eight years event that is a celebration of the return of the Sun to it's location the day the world was made.

So every Jew in the land that remembered or like the wife and I found out about last weekend, got up early to stare into the sun and Bless God for such a wonderful thing.

Isn't that nice?

It's times like these that I feel the real power of my religion. To know that I am a link in chain that is five thousand years old is very humbling.

And tonight is Pesach, or Passover, to the gentiles. Oi Vey!

Toodles,
B

Anniversaries and Birthdays

Today is me and the wife's 2nd anniversary as stated below.


Today is also Sam's birthday. Though by this point he's probably on his way to black out ville

Updates, Get your updates here

The wife and I had a great weekend. Little anticlimactic at the end but through no faults of our own. Something that has been building for over seven years, gasp, came and went like a fart in the wind.

I guess I'm mostly disappointed in my own apathy. I feel like I'm that asshole that sees creation being made from me. The Lord Almighty plucking the threads out of chaos and weaving together a masterwork of breath, flesh, and heart.

I'd be that guy in the back going, "pfftt, crappy cgi."

I've been estranged from particular family members for most of my twenties. I finally ate crow and went to dinner went them all...at one time.

My comments leaving, "meh..."

That's it.

I don't feel as if this burden has left my shoulders. I'm Atlas, bent backed without a globe.

So, good weekend over all, except it turns out I'm an emotionless robot.

In other news, got my ass a new book:One of the most addicting books I've picked up in a long time. A truly fun read, that actually works as pretty deep political commentary.

In Pittsburgh, Sam has another dream. One of flying through the ages.

The Secret Project is Secret No More

I've slowed my posts at this blog because I've been secretly secretly working on something else

Here she goes

Please give it a perusal. It seems small right now but it is tied into my big novel project, this is sort of a setup situation.

More details about the big picture will be here at defconwhiskey.

Please take note that I will be attempting to keep the fiction alive over at the Pitt site.

So any comments referring to me, Brandon or anything else breaking the kayfabe/fourth wall, will be deleted.
