Okay everyone I have an idea. I have begun a story on my blog. However this is a story that involves everyone. We are going to write it together. You are going to comment with different ideas and I will choose the best ideas to continue the plot. If this story grows and I decide to publish it all the proceeds will go to charities like Saint Jude and other children’s charities. I have posted the first 500 words that is in need of a title, so start commenting.
The night was like no other as the storm descended upon the small New England hamlet of Edgar Bay. Yes, this was a massive storm unlike the small town had ever seen with sustained winds of over one hundred and thirty miles per hour and gusts reaching as high as the breath of God. The storm seemed to have a mind or a life or even a soul of its own as it barreled unto the coast. There was no escape for remaining the residences of the town only the hope that they would all see tomorrow.
The streets were empty of all life as even the local hardware store had sold ever piece, ever inch, of wood to help board up the town. Yet, a storm this late in the year seemed unheard of. Storms of this magnitude were for citizens of the shores of some Caribbean Island to worry about, not a town that’s beach is of jagged rock and not of soft sand. There was something else at work, some higher power which seemed evil to those caught here in the pathway to oblivion.
Some of the two hundred residences fled further inland hoping that the storm would lose its almighty strength as it smashed onto the shores of Labrador. Still there were some who felt they could weather the onslaught of wind and rain that was sure to bring devastation.
However, winds of such high velocity and homes made of wood were no match for one another. As told long ago in a child’s fairytale, the storm would huff and puff and destroy anything not made of brick.
Closer and closer the storm approached, stirring up the surf to record heights and winds forcing there way upon the coast like a Roman Legion. The sounds of the winds intensified as it rattled the protective boarding upon the windows and weak spots of the humble bungalows.
Those left behind where truly in for something unlike they had ever experienced or to say those still alive as the last monster that destroyed the village happened some three hundred years earlier, upon the death of the long seated Magistrate named Gene Stanley Snider.
Justice Snider was known as an unfair and somewhat horrid individual who seemed more interested in his own evil than that well being of the town’s folk of which he was entrusted to oversee. His record of execution overshadowed that of any other man in history. His cure-all even for the youngest or the slightest infraction was that of death. To him everyone was a witch and everyone deserved to die as such a servant of the Devil deserved to die, by that of water.
Some of the elders of Edgar Bay even in a day of science still mumbled under their breath that this was somehow caused by the long since vanquished Justice Snider. Some even went as far to accuse the Justice’s only living relative Ms. Natasha Loveless as being responsible for this coming evil, as she had only recently returned to the town and her family’s homestead.

Answer to Facebook question...
Is it just me…
or have others noticed that we have become a nation of only our self? I have noticed a trend (mainly since I moved to the West Coast) of individuals forgetting that we are giant family. I have noticed a trend of individuals losing the long held believe in common courtesy.
Just the other day I was driving home when a Range Rover pulled in front of my mustang forcing me to slam on my breaks and then stopping dead in its tracks twenty feet up the road before turning to the right and performing a three-point turn right in front of me on a public street. I was the only car on the road and the Range Rover could have let me pass (As I did have the right-of-way) before it made its maneuver. Yet it did not…no, the driver was to important to wait five seconds for me to pass. And we all wonder what causes road rage? I would say it is individuals like this.
Earlier that same day I had a run in with a salesman who was rude and attempted to bully me as the customer. All I asked was can I see a certain product and he acted as if I imposed on his life. I left without him making a sale and without me making a scene. However before I left I did give him a bookmark for both Zechariah and In’Ferno I explained that he should attempt to treat everyone he meets as if they were a family member because you never know who you are rude to. I have thought about going back and speaking with the manager and explaining the events; but then I remember that jobs are hard to come by right now and I am sure that my point was made without the salesman losing his job.
I guess my point is that everyone should treat everyone else with respect because you never know who it is that you are dealing with. You know the whole love thy neighbor deal. Or treat everyone as you want to be treated, not as you have been treated (Maybe we can start a politeness movement- ---yea I know… bats flying out of a certain body cavity). Anyway American is divided enough right now to have individuals divide us further by acting as if the world revolved around that individual. Here is a hint... the world does not revolve around you so do not act as if it does…

I promised to show different views...
This is my recent activity on Politics Daily....

First let me tell everyone who reads this that I am a registered Democrat who has only crossed the aisle twice and voted Republican. And one of these times was in 2008. The simple fact is that my party has turned to insults and character destruction instead of leading with facts and programs.
Could one even imagine if the news media would have scrutinized Barrack Obama the way they scrutinized Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin. (For the blogger who goes by the screen name pundit, scrutinized means: to examine somebody or something closely and carefully. As I am sure you are ill informed.)
Individuals have brought forward 21 ethics complaints against Sarah Palin that have no merit. Is this because she is guilty…no… it is because those individuals disagree with her views. Here is secret, all views matter and there is always two sides to every argument.
Now if the media would have scrutinized Barrack Obama they would have uncovered deeper darker secrets that Sarah or Hillary. I ask you… is it not unethical to have the CEO of GE on your board of economic recovery after the Federal Government has found that company guilty of fraud and has fined that company 50 million dollars?
Is it not unethical to award GE hundreds of millions of dollars in Federal Contracts after a company owned by GE better known as NBC used false reporting to assist Barrack Obama to victory?
Is it not unethical to accuse those who disagree with you of being Un-American and mobs? We as Democrats have been using these tactics for many years and now that the tables are turned we have no idea how to deal with it. Remember this the fortieth anniversary of Woodstock; where those who protested that war or this war or that program or this program also organized by insurance companies as well?
Is it not unethical to cut the toxic sites clean up by have of what it was under George W. Bush? And is it not unethical for the environmental movement who complained with every breathe George W. Bush took yet stays silent about Barrack Obama’s cuts in funding.
This is AMERICA!!! And in America people have the right to protest their Government…In conclusion embrace those who disagree with you. Their opinion is just as valid as yours. Stop with the hateful terms and stop with the character destruction or in 2010 the majority will once again fall back to the Republicans. If you do not believe me pick up a history book…http://dailywhaley.blogspot.com/

"The In'Ferno Affect" teaser...
"Along the windswept sandy beaches hidden by rocky outcrops of a medieval coastline, a beautiful maiden stood in the chilled air. Beautiful, silent and still she stood like a marble statue carved by the finest artist the world has ever seen. The wind that flowed from the ocean tossed her long curly brown hair that could easily reach the curve of her lower back when not in motion.
Her eyes, a bright shade of green were in stark contrast to the approaching storm which she looked out upon. She witnessed what seemed to be a large storm of the darkest in gray skies that could bring sorrow to the least sorrowful. Yet not to this young maiden of English descent who had a spirit that was unfaltering.
She wore a long red dress made of the finest pure cotton chiffon that flowed from her exposed cream colored shoulders down the endless pathways that were her soft legs. To keep her garment from touching the sand she held the seams just below her exquisitely curved hips in her hands creasing the front causing the red color to cascade down her perfect form like a majestic waterfall.
With a half crown of freshly cut red and pink roses and a pewter cross that hung just below her thin neck and atop her lusciously curved breasts, she smiled out upon the storm. She smiled a smile that could tempt the holiest of men. Yes, a smile so beautiful that men would war in the summers just for the slightest glance. This smile was not to tempt men into battle, no this smile was reserved for her lover alone whom she watched as he approached from the north.
Her lover approached in black dressing matching his dark olive skin. He appeared foreign to this sun deprived land of mountain and sea. As her lover came closer and closer she could no longer keep her composure and she turned, lifting her dress high above her sculpted ankles and ran to him. This was her man and there was no other, and she knew that she was his woman and there too was no other.
“Oh Anthony,” she spoke as she stopped in the loving arms of his warm embrace.”
“My Jordan, as long as it takes mountains to crumble to dust, as long as it would take to sail the full ocean, I have longed for you. For you are the woman who haunts my dreams, how I have missed you.”
“My love Anthony, I have dreamed of this moment for so very long, not only as I slept, but all the long days as well.”
Anthony pulled her tighter, “My love, without you my life is meaningless, and with you I have purpose. I shall never leave your side again. No, even if the Lord came down from his throne and asked if I was ready for heaven itself, I would turn him down for just one more kiss from you my queen.”
“And you my king.”
“How I love you Jordan, words escape me when I even attempt to put them on paper. No, without you my pen has run dry nor is there a tree in the forest for me to write upon.”
The star-crossed lovers, with Jordan firmly grasping Anthony’s right arm, turned and walked upon the cold waterline. She gently put her head of hair that smelled of lavender upon his prominent shoulder as they journeyed. A journey in which all time stood still and all creation ceased its forward motion."
I guess you will just have to read the entire book to see how I connect this sappy love story to the firey demise of the earlier character (see August 3rd teaser)...

"The evil that men do lives on and on..."
This is absolute sickness... I always like to read what others say when combing the news stories on the web. While reading about a Holocaust Survivor who was strangled to death in New York City I came across a blog that made me sick and should make you sick.
I am only presenting this to you so you too can see what true hate speech is...
“gideon458-----01:44 AM Aug 08 2009 -----The Holohoax Lobby did for a time claim that evil Germans made soap of Jewish bodies.. They even had displays in their Hoax Museums.. Then DNA was discovered & they removed the displays.. They have admitted that lampshade claims are false too... All these fables came from very depraved sick minds... Sigmund Freud is an example of their very sick perverted minds.. "I am normal to theorize about penis envy.. You are sick because as gentile you just think of silly things like fishing or football or camping.. Jews know that if the world knew what they were planning & thinking they would be hunted down like rabid animals that they are.. Real Jew News.com”
This is the type of hate that Jews must face every day and in every corner of the world. Next time you ask yourself why America needs to protect Israel from countries like Iran just think of this person’s hateful blog…
One other thing that has me steaming that is related to this type of hatred is Nancy Pelosi’s comment about rightwing protesters carrying swastikas inside the town hall meetings. Excuse me Mrs. Speaker but the rightwing radicals that you are talking about are mostly senior citizens who have fought to protect the world from those who did carry swastikas and did kill 6 million Jews. (And remember this; the rightwing has more of a history of supporting Israel than the leftwing, just ask the man who executed that American hero at the Holocaust Museum. That murder’s hit list was made up of rightwing targets.) So get your facts straight Mrs. Speaker before you lose that title because of such absolute ignorance...

JIm Morrison... Prophet? You make the call...
If anybody truly wants to know what is wrong with this country, they need not look to Washington. No... what is truly wrong is not the Republicans or the Democrats. It is not the heated town halls in which a proponent of health care was assaulted by SEIU union members. Yes that is bad; however there is something much-much worse.
In Tulare California, an eight-year-old girl named Daniela had her lemonade stand closed down by city officials for not having a permit. You have got to be kidding me!!! This little girl was attempting to raise money to go to Disneyland; one quarter at a time. I hope every resident of that city runs to the polls and votes to unseat the officials who seemed to have destroyed the American Dream in that town.
Yes... America is lost on the open ocean without a star chart or a compass. Every time the government steps in and closes a child’s lemonade stand an angel loses its wings.
Everyone needs to step-up and quote Twisted Sister in cases like this, “We’re not going to take it, anymore!!!”
Or maybe we are just to busy quoting the Prophet Jim Morrison, “This is the end…Beautiful friend…This is the end…My only friend, the end…Of our elaborate plans, the end…Of everything that stands, the end…No safety or surprise, the end I’ll never look into your eyes...again…”

"The Machine," teaser... (Unedited version)
Mr. Hamilstein’s heart pounded and his veins pulsated as he known his end was near. For Mr. Hamilstein, neither a reeducation camp in the Badlands of the Dakotas or a prison cell in the Salt Flats of Utah lie anywhere in his future. No, neither a FEMA camp in the once fertile land of Nebraska or a forced labor camp in the deserts of Texas lay ahead. In a land where the President had become King and the rich have become poor through redistribution programs, freedom of individualism had been silenced. And it is this lack of silence on one particular issue that had condemned a man who dared question his United States Government.
Hamilstein passed a US Department of Citizen Oversight poster with the image of “Uncle Sam,” and a statement that read, “Questions equal Weakness, and Weakness equals Treason.”
As he continued down a darkened and nameless street he watched as the cameras followed his every movement. In some sick game of those secret individuals controlling the cameras each time he pasted another dimmed street lamp, the lamp illuminated. This must be to assist with his location to his DOW pursuers he believed. This ability of the grid was something far beyond even what he had uncovered while secretly investigating the Government’s planned smart grid.

What does everyone think? Will this be good in my new book “The Machine?” Do you like the two new ideas for my Totalitarian form of Government in the book? I think I did a great job coming up with these two really-really Orwellian concepts.
Oh wait, I was just told that I cannot use either one of these two big-brother programs, because they are already in use. Apparently they are both programs by the Obama Administration.
The first one was taken from the “Cash for Clunkers,” website… The second was taken from the “White House,” website.
Wow, and we were all steaming when President Bush (The one who started us down this road) was possibly listening to our phone conversations.
For those of you who think I am a rightwing nut, well I do lean right in my views (On lower taxes and smaller Government) and I believe more in the Libertarian Party principles (live and let live), however I AM A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT!...

Bill Clinton"s trip
Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, you have to admit Bill Clinton can get things done. He takes a trip North Korea single and comes with two journalists. Way to go.
What is the most isolating phrase in the English language?
“You need,” you need to do this and you need to do that… you need - you need - you need… When someone attempts to beat you over the head with the Hammer of Thor by way of this simple phrase you turn away from them. Yes you may agree to quiet them, or you may start a fight with them, or you may even end a friendship with them.
This happens in all forms of culture and everyone, including myself, uses this phrase. Politicians tell you that “you need” to support this program or that program and they repeat the “you need” phrase over and over again. Then after they isolate you they call you un-American or un-patriotic if you do not support whatever they are pedaling. What is the difference between, “Bush: You are un-patriotic and do not support the troops if you do not support the war;” or “Obama: You are un-patriotic and are a racist if you do not support Nationalized Health Care.”
The truth is there is no difference; they are both attempting to beat you over the head with their points of view. And what happened, Bush’s ratings crashed and Obama’s ratings are crashing. Most people supported the war and most people support some form of health care for all; however, the hammer was dropped and people stopped listening.
Now back to the racist word, another fighting word, that was used on MSNBC. April 15, 2009, Janeane Garofalo called everybody who attended a tax protest a racist on Countdown with Keith Olberman. Her point was they did not support Obama because he is black man, well look at the footage of the protests, I guess (In her words) the black men and women who attended are racist to other black men and women. See how stupid this sounds; well this is what MSNBC traffics in. At least Fox and CNN (whether right or left) do not traffic in hateful terminology.
This also goes for those who attempt to convert others to their style of faith (Christianity, Judaism or Islam). Under full discloser I am a Christian, but have issues with others (even in my on faith) who attempt to shout their views from the mountain tops while silencing others. Beating people over the head with your values and views have lead to more people leaving faith than joining faith. So my view is to share your view but do not force your view. When you tell people “you need” to subscribe 100% to your viewpoints or they are going to burn in a lake of fire; well you have just created one more person who will wage war on religion. And that is one more person who is fighting the system to make the system make me tear down my Christmas lights. (And I want my Christmas lights)
So in conclusion, do not stoop to ridicule when others disagree with you and do not call them hateful terms if they do not use such terms in their daily lives. The beauty of the human experience is that we are all different and have different views to bring to the table. And also remember that faith is personal and share how faith has affected your life and do not tell people they are destine for Hell if they disagree.
And finally “YOU NEED” to vote on the posted polls.
This happens in all forms of culture and everyone, including myself, uses this phrase. Politicians tell you that “you need” to support this program or that program and they repeat the “you need” phrase over and over again. Then after they isolate you they call you un-American or un-patriotic if you do not support whatever they are pedaling. What is the difference between, “Bush: You are un-patriotic and do not support the troops if you do not support the war;” or “Obama: You are un-patriotic and are a racist if you do not support Nationalized Health Care.”
The truth is there is no difference; they are both attempting to beat you over the head with their points of view. And what happened, Bush’s ratings crashed and Obama’s ratings are crashing. Most people supported the war and most people support some form of health care for all; however, the hammer was dropped and people stopped listening.
Now back to the racist word, another fighting word, that was used on MSNBC. April 15, 2009, Janeane Garofalo called everybody who attended a tax protest a racist on Countdown with Keith Olberman. Her point was they did not support Obama because he is black man, well look at the footage of the protests, I guess (In her words) the black men and women who attended are racist to other black men and women. See how stupid this sounds; well this is what MSNBC traffics in. At least Fox and CNN (whether right or left) do not traffic in hateful terminology.
This also goes for those who attempt to convert others to their style of faith (Christianity, Judaism or Islam). Under full discloser I am a Christian, but have issues with others (even in my on faith) who attempt to shout their views from the mountain tops while silencing others. Beating people over the head with your values and views have lead to more people leaving faith than joining faith. So my view is to share your view but do not force your view. When you tell people “you need” to subscribe 100% to your viewpoints or they are going to burn in a lake of fire; well you have just created one more person who will wage war on religion. And that is one more person who is fighting the system to make the system make me tear down my Christmas lights. (And I want my Christmas lights)
So in conclusion, do not stoop to ridicule when others disagree with you and do not call them hateful terms if they do not use such terms in their daily lives. The beauty of the human experience is that we are all different and have different views to bring to the table. And also remember that faith is personal and share how faith has affected your life and do not tell people they are destine for Hell if they disagree.

"The In'Ferno Affect" Teaser...
Chadwick dropped the thermometer on the ground as he heard the sound of glass shatter from the direction of the bathroom. He looked in that direction before turning back to his front. Now with his heart pumping so hard he could feel every vein in his body, he witnessed the shadow again. The dark form with two fiery red embers for eyes descended upon him from the far burgundy colored wall with a high-pitched screech echoing, “It is time!”
In intense pain and fear, Chadwick looked down as he felt his upper right thigh burst into flames. Through his aging eyes he looked down and witnessed fierce and violent bright red flames engulf his right leg and then engulf his left leg. He batted at the aggressive flames trying to extinguish the fire to no avail. Chadwick thought himself crazy, yet the pain he felt was so very real. The flames grew larger and began to consume his body, racing up to his neck and face. Chadwick then screamed at a level so loud so deep and so ferocious in nature that it seemed inhuman.
The room filled with black smoke and the repulsive smell of burning flesh and hair. His lifeless body began to melt under the intense temperature. His aged skin turned to ash as every piece of evidence of his existence was erased from this world. The flames so hot and unstoppable consumed everything they contacted. Yet the fact was that they only contacted Chadwick and nothing else outside his immediate control.

Life is like a pendulum…
it is always shifting its direction. This could be found today in our country. If anyone is watching the news they can see this. Back in the sixties we as a nation attempted to take back our country from the politicians, leading to the history changing Woodstock. This is happening again.
Over the weekend an estimated 8 to 10,000 people showed up for a TEA party in Columbus Ohio. This is the estimate given by the local law enforcement, and there is pictures and video to back up this claim. Now those who trust the media may have this trust shatter when they hear that the media purposefully underestimated the crowd as 100 to 300 people. Even Chris Mathews on Hardball, a man who does not deny his liberal views, has realized the next shift in the pendulum, and has become scared as a result.
People have taken to the streets and taken to the town halls of their prospective representatives and have voiced their concerns. This is a good think as our freedom of speech is a freedom we must all cherish. The majority of citizens of this country have spoken, and they have spoken against Nationalized Health Care, Cap and Trade and another Stimulus plan. So many people have spoken against these programs that you cannot even call your representative because the switchboards are down in the Congress.
My fear is not that Republicans will seize control in 2010 and 2012, this is the history of our great country, and my fear is not the Democrats who are not listening to the voice of the people. My fear is what Neal Young once sang about, “Four Dead in Ohio.”
These rallies keep increasing in size and our elected representatives are calling the police and having those they represent arrested outside their Congressional offices. And everybody knows what happens when those without guns, but with a cause, meet those with guns.
Another thing that happened over the weekend is that the Obama Administration by way of Secretary Geithner has stated that everybody’s taxes will be increased to pay for this craziness that most could never have imagined.
Yes, the pendulum is shifting back to the right like never before. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, you need to let your voice be heard, because as of now, it is the Republicans who have lit the fire and sparked the shift back to the center from the far left.
And let me leave you with one final thought; is it not amazing how the Stock Market has rallied as Obama’s rakings have crashed.

Update on In'Ferno
The In’Ferno Affect is nearing the proofing conclusion. I hope to get the finalized edit to the publisher by mid August which will all but guarantee a late fall release. I think everyone who has read Zechariah will be in shock by In’Ferno, as it is more suspenseful and the content is darker in nature. Here is the working description of In’Ferno
“The famous mystery writer, Mr. Jackson Chadwick has been found dead by the Eugene Oregon Police. All that remains is a human outline of ash, a lower unattached foot and a ring with the “Square and Compass” insignia of the Freemasons. The detective assigned to the case, James McCullough is shocked by the resemblance of the crime scene to images of alleged cases of Spontaneous Human Combustion. With no leads, a Funeral Director educates McCullough about the cremation process and a theory known as the “Wick Effect,” and recommends that the Detective speak with the local Catholic Parish Priest. The local Priest, with the Detective’s blessing, notifies a Catholic Investigator, Father Anthony Rispoli, who is investigating a similar case of alleged Spontaneous Human Combustion involving a famous Professor in Chicago.
The Police Detective and the Catholic Investigator, along with an older and more seasoned Catholic Investigator, Monsignor Milani, combine their investigations and realize that both victims were members of the same Seven-Six Order of the Freemason Lodge in New York City. They also discover that this secret Order has four other members. The Investigators soon uncover a sinister plot involving macabre rituals, and bloodletting contracts with the Devil himself. Has the devil now come back to collect? With vivid dreams and his own inner demons the story revolves around Father Rispoli’s personal battles.
This 95,000 word novel becomes a race against time to locate the other four members of the Masonic Order before they meet the same fate as their former lodge members. This novel utilizes many conspiracy theories that have revolved around the Freemasons throughout their history. The story takes many twists and turns that will keep the reader guessing until the climax in which Father Rispoli comes face to face with the Devil himself. Then in a Faustian ending…well you will just have to read the novel.”

Welcome Everyone
Hello all… and welcome to my new blog. I will discuss my writing along with my views on everything from culture to politics to music. All names from Sarah Palin to Iron Maiden will be discussed.
Now with that said… I must warn you that I am a Christian and a Libertarian who believes in small government, low taxes and personal freedoms. I must also warn you that I am what was once called a “Metal head,” back in the 80s. I like to joke with people and say, “Jesus is my Religious Advisor, but Jim Morrison is my Spiritual Advisor.”
I also like to joke with people to get a rise out of them, for example I recently told my mother my chain of command, “The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit and The Dee Snider.”
Yes, silly I know but through laughter and sometimes pointless debates the truth can be discovered and one can learn more about one’s self.
I will offend some… as this is inevitable, because everybody is different and everybody has different views. I will argue my points-of-view here as I argue them in my novels. I will answer questions I receive and will not ridicule those of whom I disagree with. I will lay out the facts as I see them.
With that said… I do hope you tell your friends about my blog. Because here I will question President Obama’s programs and I will question the lack of Republican ideas. I will question the failing news media and I will question failing policies.
As far as music goes… well I like my long hair and my spiked wristbands... plus this is my blog… so 80s rockers unite because “We’re not going to take it.”
