This is Memorial Day weekend, 2014 and I think it behooves us all, no matter what nationality, race, creed or religion to take a moment and thank all those who have served and who are serving in the armed forces of their countries. Without their sacrifices, without them doing the job they either volunteered or were drafted into doing, we wouldn't have the freedoms and privileges we have now. Some returned from far off battlefields and some didn't, but we all owe every one of them our thanks, our gratitude. Let's also not forget the Merchant Mariners.

Here are ten of my random thoughts this morning.

Is there a problem with the CrystalHall Forum?
Suddenly, I am unable to access it.

So, it all began a few days ago when my modem decided to limit my time on the internet, dropping the signal and kicking me offline. It did it three or four times in one 24 hour period, so I called my internet provider, Time Warner and informed them that my modem had somehow developed an overzealous and random sense of trying to keep me offline. They set up an appointment for someone to come and check the modem or replace it, if necessary. Pretty cool, right?

Thanks to everyone who pointed out the mistakes in last chapter of Darin Dares. The post has now been revised to take into account several mistakes in the original version. Nothing has changed plot wise, but I did fix a few things:

Seems like there is a holiday for everything nowadays.

Don't forget to dress in black!

*wonders if anyone will post any Goth stories.

I have grossly overestimated how much free time I would have while moving to my new apartment and my mother visiting.

Chapter 3 of Kregg's Story is almost complete.

Two subjects came to mind for this, my first blog entry in months. As the first is a bit too short to warrant its own entry, I'll include it here with subject #2, the main thing I wanted to discuss.

Hello all,

I was wondering what would be the general consensus if I redid Maiden of Magic, as I kind of remastering. Any thoughts?

Well, I just got home from my group therapy session, and once again, I am in tears.

I want success in my life. I really, truly, honestly do. And yet, for some reason I find myself continuously sabotaging the opportunities given to me to obtain it.

Hey folks,

It's been several months since I last posted anything on BC. This is because I went to see my doctor about what I thought was a minor medical problem. Within hours I was admitted to hospital with a serious, life-threatening illness. I have spent many weeks in hospital and am now having treatment as an outpatient.

As I general rule, I always picture myself as a bottom rung kind of person who is trying to get to the next level but always seem to have some difficulty. I hardly ever see myself as popular or good at something and that mindset helps me continue working and improving. I oft times have this theory that something bad is going to happen and that people general dislike me for various reasons. I know my writing doesn't appeal to everyone, but whose does?
