The Art of Sight

This post is a very focused exploration of art and should not be taken as an exhaustive history, thus I will be ignoring some of the rather unusual and fascinating styles out there such as Impressionism, Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism, and other such avant garde tangents. I’ll do a post on those at a later time. …

The Sensible Seeds of Art

The first form of art was likely a simple story. We don’t know what the story was about, nor can we say who told it. I imagine it began naturally as a response to that age old question, “how was your day?” This would have been the first time one dared to ask the…

Shadeskin is Out

Today, while clasping our glasses of chocolate milk, Jason Craft and I have made a celebrator toast to a year and a half’s worth of literary work (Amanda White not here at the moment). All three of us aspiring authors have worked and toiled, written and rewritten, fought aver and compromised for a brand new…

I love writing in multiple genres at the same time. It works my brain all the way around, sloshing the creative juices everywhere. Now that Supremacy: Reformation is officially off the ground, I need to tell you about my cross-pollination with urban fantasy. About three years ago, I…

A Nerd Rage Rant: Subject… Shaky cameras

Hello world. It’s me— Representation —a nerd enraged. It’s been a while since my last rant. That’s because I couldn’t find anything worth ranting about. Our little Earth is oh, so perfect. And here was perfect, little ‘ol, six-foot-five-inches me, going to the movies to watch the newest sci-fi flick Lock Out. It’s about this…

Supremacy: Reformation—Episode 1 is Here

My best friend Jason Craft has many things in common with me. We both like to play video games, we like the same types of movies, and both of us are aspiring to become science fiction authors. Something I have finely achieved in mid September 2011 with the first episode of Void Voyage. He has…

If Only Star Wars Remembered Me

Source One of my fondest memories in the mid 1980s, is sitting on the brown carpet in the TV room, building an X-wing fighter with Constux, all the while, watching the real X-wings destroy the Death Star in Star Wars: a New Hope. I don’t know how many times I saw the flick. It was…

The Next Void Voyage

This post is spoiler free Void Voyage 1: I Shall Not Rest in Peace has been out for the last few months. I have sold 19 copies so far! Not bad for an unknown author. It is kind of weird to finally have a book out. I’ve spent more than eleven years, writing off and…

Culture Shock: Beware the Belly Dancer Amidst Tasty Lebanese Food

Over the last few years, the cities of Shreveport and Bossier have experienced an influx of families moving in from India, East Asia, and the Middle East. As a piano teacher, I can attest to this fact. Many of my students are from India, and one family is Kurdish immigrants from Iraq. All of…

2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 55,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 20 sold-out performances for that many…
