So if you think you'll be bored reading that, this is just your warning.
So yeah, I'm back. I read all The Walking Dead books my sister has, so up to book 6 of the hardcover series. I really, really enjoyed them although it took 6 of the books to really get under my skin. The cannibalism...
._.
Hard to get to sleep the night after finishing it to be honest.
Watched some Gilligan's Island, spent about 6 hours with my grandparents altogether counting yesterday and today. I learned a lot about my Mother's side of the family and how they all came here to Canada.
OOOOOH
Finished a book about Joesph Stalin and his group of madmen. Holy shit. Holy fucking shit. The Walking Dead is scary but these guys were fucking monsters. Real fucking monsters. I can really see how lucky I am to have had forefathers who got the hell out of there during the Russian civil war.
What else?
Um...
I like fish.

P.S. Still can't get that webcomic program running. -.-

The Farm
I'm on my way to my grandparent's farm. Only my uncle lives there now but it is packed full of memories. This time I'm bringing my camera so I will probably post pictures of it up on here later. My mom and I are going to visit her parents at a nearby town (in a care home) and then we'll spend the night there. No internet so I'll see you sometime on Friday.
Peace,

Current projects
Well, here's a peak preview into what I'm doing procrastinating on.
Hopefully someday novels:
Dome:
Dome is something I came up with at work. Its about a human colony that remains the only stronghold left fighting in an interstellar war lasting centuries. The reptilian race that remains unnamed at this time launched a massive attack on human colonies in the Milky Way after an unprovoked attack by the GA (global alliance).
Dome is set on this unnamed planet. It is a barren wasteland of rock and caves with the only surviving feature being the dome, a white giant structure emerging out of the rock that is impervious to all bombardments. The story is about a man who discovers the conspiracy to keep the war going by a 3rd party and how the social (not to mention genetic composition) of human society has been mutilated in order maintain the stalemate. Only one book is planned for this universe.
The Reliant:
Planning this one as a trilogy, this one came about as an idea for a role play on the Escapist. I've really let this one be neglected and it isn't as fresh in my mind but I'll post what I remember from it.
Logan is a cyborg. He was originally found floating in space, almost dead in his escape pod. The war with the Swarm, an alien fleet of organisms capable of traveling through space to feed on all life, was in its third desperate year. He was created among with others to fight the buglike aliens. He did but like most cyborgs of the project he went rogue, killing the commanders and fleeing. He ended up getting frozen.
Centuries later he was revived by the "Raiders". The clan that revived his capsule enslaved him but he managed to eventually rise to become leader. Surviving humans on the planets all across the galaxy slowly emerged from the safety of the deep caves which had saved their forefathers. More organized and skillful groups of Raiders left the major clans to pray on the newly restarted commerce routes.
Logan joins and rises to prominence in one of these pirate organizations. Unfortunately for him, a larger pirate organization headed by an equally ruthless and skilled cyborg surviver decides to destroy Logan's group before it could challenge his superiority. In the last ship of the pirate consortium Logan crashes after being pursued on a barren desert planet.
Finding a crashed gigantic American built battlecruiser half buried in the sand, Logan encounters the powerful computer built inside which has gained sentience. Between the two a new ship is made, a crew is found and Logan sets off to get his revenge but a greater threat threatening to eliminate the last shreds of humanity left alive from the Swarm war leads him to evolve as a character and save the galaxy.
I planned two books in this universe or two role plays on the Escapist. I'm likely going to have better luck just writing it as a novel due to lack of interest. Safer just to RP with adapted material.
Untitled First Person Narrative:
Something I started years ago, I created a universe where corporations own their workers. Planet names are uncreative and are essentially just random letters and numbers. The basic plot was for a young, frustrated man to join the secret anarchist group set to destroying the corporations and having him a pivotal part of an event that changes future society forever. Very rough, never got past three chapters.
I've had more story ideas but they are old and from my Highschool days. My writing has *hopefully* improved from them. I could post them here, warts and all, if I was asked.
Roleplaying:
I have some ideas for a roleplay to be set in the Golden Sun universe (after having written some anonymous fanfiction about it) but it will take some interest before I really get serious on it. Need to write that thread up.
Film:
I want to make a documentary on my Dad's chiropractor. Not only is he incredibly good at what he does, he has been virtually shut out of his profession due to his ideas being radical compared to standard practice. He's also 80+ years old and far healthier than myself. He really has a good story and I would love to make a film about him.
I also would be interested in doing a story about the decline of music in Saskatchewan and how the push is for sports over music in extracurricular activities in schools.
That's my current creative portfolio. All of them are unfinished, some have been left to fester longer than others.
Feels good listing them out here. Need to get back to them. The stories set in space usually have a lot of politics I have associated with them and also Lego ships I've built... <.<
Anyway, my current roleplaying urges are being fulfilled by something totally unrelated to the picture below. Move along.
