Dark Thoughts and Good Books

I woke up this morning to another day. I bet you thought I was going to try to say something clever. Nope, not me. If you are looking for clever you are at the wrong place. I am listening to Time after Time By Ozzy Osbourne. I find that listening to good ol' Oz helps soothe me. My mind has not been a good place lately. I feel like dark closing in. I try everything in my power to keep the storm clouds at bay knowing  regardless that I will be consumed by them in the end. Sometimes I wonder why do I fight a never ending battle that I know I can not win? Then I look to my daughter laughing at something her father told her. I listen to my son who has is discussion making a cricket farm, to use as bait for his latest obsession, fishing. My youngest niece who still thinks I am the smartest and best aunt ever. I know that what I am gonna say may sound lame but they are what keep me going. Music helps. Music helps use to help more that it does now. But I think I have damaged my hearing with all those years of music blaring as loud as I could get it go. So, now books have taken the front. A good book that can draw me and take me on an adventure outside of my head. My head is dangerous place to be sometimes. Here lately more so than it has been in a long time. If only I was talented enough to write but as you can tell my grammar sucks and I think the I love the genius who invented spell check.
   This morning I started reading, The Sentinel By Jeremy Bishop, it is different from what I have been reading lately. I a little over half way and it has just picked up to the action. Mr.Bishop has so far spent the first half of the book letting me  get to know the female protagonist, Jane Harper. I find that so far I like her. I will let you know when I am done if I still like her.I am reading it on my Kindle, who I am currently having a love affair with, and I have not skipped any pages at all. Here is the information on the book:
 In the frigid waters off the Arctic Ocean, north of Greenland, the anti-whaling ship, The Sentinel, and her crew face off against a harpoon ship in search of Humpback whales. When the two ships collide and a suspicious explosion sends both ships to the bottom, the crews take refuge on what they think is a peninsula attached to the mainland, but is actually an island, recently freed from a glacial ice bridge.
Seeking shelter, the two opposing crews scour the island for resources. Instead, they find Viking artifacts, the preserved remains of an ancient structure and a stone totem warning of horrible creatures buried in the island's caves. Facing violent, frigid storms, a hungry polar bear and the very real possibility that they are stranded without hope of rescue, Jane Harper leads the two crews, who must work together to defend themselves against an ancient evil upon which the modern stories of both zombies and vampires are based.
The original undead are awake and hungry. Beware the Draugar.
Its in the Horror Genre which is something I don't normally read. I am a fantasy chick. Here lately I felt like I was ready the same couple of books over and over again. Just change a couple of the "monster" and bam! Oh I digress ( I have ALWAYS wanted to say that in a sentence!) What was I talking about? Crap I forgot..anyway thats enough for today.. See ya around next time... Leave me a comment or two..

Am I overreacting?

I was just told something that happened that I was not told about.. That earlier in the week Matt was outside cleaning some fish he had caught. A police officer stopped and told him that he needed to stop cleaning the fish because there was kids in the neighborhood. Okay first off where he was cleaning them at nobody could see him. Number two only one other house in our neighbor has children and they weren't even at home. Number three its my damn house. This makes me mad. What do you all think? Should I be upset or am I overreacting?

Funky Rambling

I have been a funk lately. I hate it when I get in a funk. Why you ask? Well, because frankly it really sucks. In case you haven't noticed from my posts I have what is called "Manic Depression". Along with a side order of "Social Anxiety". Now add in all my other issues, throw in a dash of peculiarity and top it off with dark sense of humor and you have ME! 
  I know am far from perfect. What you thought I was? Why thank you, I am awesome. Where was I ? Oh yeah, perfection. Most of us have many flaws. Some we admit freely and others we don't even want to admit to ourselves much the world. I mean who wants to admit that they have flaws?  
  I have many flaws, imperfections if you will. I have terrible grammar. I tend to be impatient. I have little or no tact at all. As for physical imperfections I am not going there today. See there is another flaw. I own up to though and don't portray myself as something I am not. That annoys more than I can express. When someone acts like they are perfect. I am a lazy person (ha see another flaw) and it would take too much work to be perfect.
  How did I go from being in a funk to perfection? See another flaw, no I don't refer to them as flaw but quirks. I have many quirks. What about you do you have any quirks?

Turning 37 and ranting

Over the weekend I turned 37. I have dreaded turning 37 for the past ten years, since I turned 27. Why you ask? Well the answer may not make sense to anyone but me. My mother died when she was 37. My father died when he was 47. My grandparents also died with the number 7 involved. So, I have the fear of turning 37. Of course if I think about I was born on 07-06-1976. So that already has a couple of 7's then add in turning 37. It scares the beejee bee's out of me. Is this irrational? Without a doubt it is.I try not to dwell on it but I just can't seem to not think about it. 
  On to other things.. I have been looking through the e-books over on Amazon. A lot of the ones I have been sifting through are those that are free or the 99¢. I have never heard of most of the authors. Some of them have been good but a lot have been awful. I like the fantasy genre along with the fantasy sub genres. Here lately most of the books I have came across are like the same book! Maybe change the supernatural being around or something is the only difference. Maybe throw in several sex scene. Now don't get me wrong I like a good steamy sex scene but come on people if you are about to be slaughter you really don't have time for a quickie in the shower! Or leaning on tree.. really a tree?Another thing I can not stand is the "insta love" . You know what I am talking about...One look across the room and our eyes met and I knew that was soul my mate and I can not live without them. Really?I also don't like those that take over half of the book to convince the main character of the paranormal or supernatural exists. What about those that have the main character's family was killed in an auto accident/murder/abandoned at birth? Its like the same book over and over again..Maybe I should find a different genre to read for a while...
   I suppose that is enough bitching for one post... Till next time my friend..

Worst Body Part?

Yesterday I asked Matt, Mandy and Kenny if they received a body part what would be the worst part to get?
I said "Eyes"
Matt said "Gentilla of any kind"
Mandy" Vagina"
And Kenny said " I hope never get none. What is wrong with you three? You guys didn't even hesitate to answer."

Review: Child of Ghost by Jonathan Moeller

I really liked this book but it does have some editing issues.

Child of the Ghosts is the first book of the Ghosts series by Jonathan Moeller. 
I came across if for free on Amazon. It is about an eight year old Caina Amalas whose childhood is awful. She is often tortured by her mother but adored by her father. Her mother sells Caina to a necromancer so he will teach her more dark magic. The plans goes wrong but not before Caina's mother kills the whole household, servants and her father. In return Caina kills her mother. The Necromancer shows up and takes Cania anyway. The do awful things to her but she manages to escape and meets up with the "Ghosts" and her life changes once again. Now that is all I am gonna tell you about the book. You have to read for yourself. I would personally give it  a solid 3-1/2 stars. Its still free on Amazon today so go check it out.

My two cents worth and Zombies

I always tend to censor myself when I post something online. I don't want to intentionally hurt someone's feelings. I don't want for someone to think that  just because my political,religious,spiritual or even taste in the opposite (or same) sex beliefs will offend them or think I am belittling them I tend to just keep my trap. Now after  years of silently listening from the sideline I have decided to jump right in with my two cents worth. If you don't agree that is awesome you DO NOT have to because its my personal opinion. My views, likes, dislikes ,beliefs and just because I don't get up in your face screaming or trying to ram them down your throat they are just as important to me and yours are to you. Now with that being said...I have found I really have nothing to yammer on about....I am sure I have many things but right now Zombies have been on my mind alot lately and I am not sure if we are ready yet for my thoughts on Zombies.. maybe next time...
