A Story Within The Music: Sneaking Around

A New segment that I wanted to start in my Storytelling Blog. Where I will put on a link to one of my songs, there will be a story that will follow with it. This is a story that the song is telling me and I wanted to share it with everyone. And to get some feedback from it. So here we go with the first selection:

In a tall building in a city of corrosion, and power, and greed rules everything a woman is mysteriously walking around an office building. This office is one of the top Fortune 500 companies in the world. This woman knows that there is some wrong doing going on within these walls of her environment. But everyone that she talks to and tries to get on her side something mysteriously happens to them. So on her own she has to find out whats going on here. She sneaks in the tall dark and mysterious building without security knowing that she is even there. She finds the stairs in the building and runs up them quickly, but also silently as she could. Now she has made to the floor that she works on, now getting in the next part of the mission. So she hides in the shadows until one of the security guards goes in, when that happens she quickly run in behind the guard without him even knowing she is there. She knows the guards that work in this building and knows where all the security cameras are, and all the hidden spots for these cameras as well. She knows getting caught by the camera wasn’t going to happen. Again she hides, and wait for the guard to leave, while the guard was leaving the room, he stopped for a moment for known reason by the woman. So she sneaks up behind the guard and knocks him out with his own flashlight that she picks up on the floor that he had dropped. Sneaking Around Music Please my advice if you can play the song while you read this post and let me what you think.

Guest Post – What Drives You to Buy Independent?

OCTOBER 7, 2014 BY LINDAGHILL

With the abundance of self-publishing that’s going on these days, much of what we run into when browsing through e-books are novels written by independent authors–writers without traditional publishers. Being that it’s relatively easy to upload your own shiny new novel to Kindle and Kobo, and it’s potentially a free enterprise, everyone and his mother are doing it, with or without the talent to back them up. The quality of said self-published works is a fairly hot topic, but not one I want to discuss today. (Been there, done that, wrote the blog post.)

My question today is a little more simple: what is it that compels you to buy an independently published book? Is it the normally $2.99 or less price tag? Or is it something more friendly?

With so many self-published authors blogging on sites like WordPress, everyone has the opportunity to get to know his or her favourite writer on a more personal level than ever before. The way I see it, this is a bonus for everyone involved. Not only do the readers get to see, potentially, what inspires the characters and places they enjoy, but for the writer I believe it supplies the opportunity to sell more books. Getting to know an author as a person and not just the shadow behind the words we love to read is a treat. If you haven’t looked them up by way of the website they provide in their novels, do! It’s a situation that just doesn’t happen with writers like Stephen King and Danielle Steele. They might give up a little of their personal lives, but not enough that we can relate to them or get to know them as real people.

Do you “know” any independent authors – and has knowing them compelled you to buy their books? Is it the price tag? Is it to support the little guy in the big world of publishing? Or is it something else altogether that drives you to buy independent? Please, share your experience!

Some old post

I had an idea about bringing up, and republishing some old posts that I have that I never posted on this web page. But if you have followed my other blog page “Studio 1215 News” here on WordPress, you may have seen and read these before but anyway I’m bringing them here to this new blog page of mine for everyone to enjoy. All these posts had been around March – February of 2012.

No work No Money 3

Well here we go again, with this segment of No work, no money. I’m actually surprise this is actually becoming a good segment on this blog of mine. But for real this is a bunch of s**t here. This will make the second time that I’ve been laid-off. I’m telling ya 2011 is ending with a bang, of bad luck for real, for real. So ending my official last day at my current job that was seasonal, which I was aware of. Yes, I am disappointed that it had to an end, but yet the problem isn’t that it ended it is the fact of when I’ll be hired back. At first it was a two weeks, to a month lay off. But now it has become to be two months. Which actually kind of pissed me off. Cause the way my boss had told us. We had work a slow, but productive day to come find out that everyone in my department had volunteered to work on Christmas eve, for an hour, or so. I didn’t really care cause it was extra money in my pocket. But also, my last day of work. So basically, I’m not trying to have this ruin too much of Christmas spirit, which I’m trying to get back slowly, but surely. But I’m not going drinking my sorrows away. But yet there will be drinking going on. But after, New Year’s I should be ready if not before then hopefully. This won’t be another two-year drought, like last time. This time its worse, with bills and everything. But I shall survive this, like everything else in life. So dueces, for now, and again I will keep everyone posted of what going on. And please give me your opinions, and comments. Later!!

No Work No Money 2

Well from the last post, I did say that I would keep everyone posted about this crazy ass situation. Which completely,and utterly f***ing crazy. Let me slightly recap what was going on. Ook now to briefly sum everything up. Ok I had transferred from my current job that was in Baltimore,MD, to Gettysburg, PA. Everything was fine until I was told not to come into work 2 weeks ago, to come to find that my current job had not transferred my working profile, or data whatever you want to call it from Baltimore to Gettysburg. So I was told to stay at home until the situation was settled. Now let me remind you that I had already worked 3 days in Gettysburg to begin with. The problem also was that if this wasn’t settled I could not work, also won’t get paid either. So I’m thinking that this was minor problem which ended up a BIG problem. So I kept calling the human resources manager throughout the time I was out of work. Which ended up being a whole WEEK. So of course my next question was of course. “Am going to get paid for the time that I did work ?” So what had happened was that they did keep track of my hours. “Thank God” cause if they didn’t that would have been a whole nother story right there. But everything was cool, I did get paid for those days. But what’s f****d up is the fact that whole time I was off there is not check coming for me on Friday after Thanksgiving. A time that I could most definitely could have used the money. Going on the fact that I would be working all or least a few days this week before Thanksgiving. But as of right now that’s not the case. It’s one thing that I apparently as of right now don’t work on Monday’s, and Friday’s due to the lack of work that is not there. But now as of the date that I wrote this post, that I didn’t work either which is usually a busier day. But same answer I’m use to hearing. “I don’t need you to come in tonight.” So for right now I’m wondering how the holiday work schedule going to be like in December. So until then I will keep everyone up of this situation. Feel free to leave comments, comments always welcome.

Cant sleep 4

Well after surviving a terrible year ending to 2011, it is finally 2012. So January of the new year, starts off miserable. Not like I expected it to start off with a magic wand in my hand and puff. So I can wave it and all the bad things that had happened to me in the 2011 will all disappear. “NOT!!!”, not here dawg, not in the least. But getting back to my story. I had moved in with a woman friend, that I was seeing back in September of 2011. But I had left my wife, in September as well. Because of some major problems that we were having at the time. So I had moved in with my lady friend at the time. And I had lived there until the middle of January, she had stated that there were problems within our relationship. So I had moved back with my parents, which I thought I would regret. But actually my parents had been very supportive of me. While yet let me remind you I haven’t worked since Christmas Eve of 2011. While yet also I have not seen or heard from my adopted (not legally adopted) daughter. She is 6 years old now. Me and wife were talking when I could see my daughter, at this time I was living with my friend. But no sooner that I got kicked out of her house, and back to my parent’s house. “Puff” here is my daughter, at my parent’s house. Also, at the same time the period that I didn’t see my daughter, my parent’s have not seen her either. So when I moved in to my parent’s house. My daughter was there for a visit for a few days, so me and parent’s had thought. But we had found out that she had moved in with us as well. Her mother, my wife had said that she was coming to get my daughter, but till this day she is still here. Me, and my parent’s believe that she (my daughter) is not going anywhere at all. So we gone through January still looking for work. I had went to the welfare office by my parent’s house hoping to get some food stamps so I can get some food for myself, while yet bring in food for my parent’s house as well. Not like my parent’s need food or anything but it was for the thought that counts. Ok so after visiting the welfare office, I was denied of food stamps. At that time I was shocked, and mad cause I was going to school at the time. The welfare office had told me that if I was going to school, and not working any kind of job that I would be denied. My first reaction of course was “if I had a job, then I wouldn’t need food stamps in the first place” DAH !!!! But all in all that had fell through. So from that point on I was more determined to find a job then ever. So as of 2-14-12 I had started a new job. Hooray, hooray !!!! for me. So I started this new job where my orientation was at 8 am. Something I haven’t done in a minute at a job. But I sucked it up and got to my new job bright and early, thinking that I was getting out early, even though everybody at the orientation thought the same thing I did which was orientations don’t take all day for no apparent reason. But in our case that day, so after 2 pm that afternoon our orientation was over. So we thought we were going home “WRONG”. So we were put to work for the remainder of the day. Which was from 2 – 5 pm, ok so after I got through orientation. So I start working the graveyard shift at my new job. My hours are 10pm – 8:30am yes you see it correctly it is 10 hours. Something I have never done before until now. So I embraced this new shift with open arms, taken whatever is given to me at this time. In desperate need of a job. So after being there a few hours I had realized how ridiculously slow the time was moving. And keep saying to myself “I have to be here for 10 hours, 10 hours WOW!!!”. This is so tedious what my job description is. But after a couple weeks of doing this I finally got use to doing the job. But it didn’t help my sleep much. When I got off work, from day to day I couldn’t sleep at all. And then when my days off came around then first day of my 3 days off. That’s all I did was sleep all day, and all night. I was so use to sleeping for a few hours and then getting up to do whatever. Not this time I went to bed after I drove home from work. When I got off work that morning. All I did was sleep from the time I got home, for a few hours. And then when I did get up I got myself something to eat and after sat down watched tv with my daughter, to fall right back to sleep. And then after I put her in bed. I went back down stairs again to watch tv again, to do the very same thing again. Fell right back to sleep. I was very amazed at myself. Those days at work had knocked me the **** out!!! So again after working there for a few weeks my body got use to it. So I thought, so now recently I can’t stay up all night when I off work. Normally I would sleep most of the day away and be up all night. Not now!! Hopefully this won’t turn into anything real bad. But as always I will let you guys, my followers, and readers now what is going on. Later, Dueces for now.

Can’t sleep 3

I have recently started a terrible habit that I hate. Insomnia, hate with a little passion. Because it like takes almost forever me to get rid of for me. Well it started like this I was off work this morning I don’t remember when it was but it really doesn’t really matter just the fact that it was in the month of December. So anyway getting back to my random thought, my girlfriend wanted me to go with her to see her 6-year-old son in a play that his kindergarten class was doing at a senior citizen home where we live at. And I agreed to go. So I decided to stop at Sheetz, if anyone doesn’t know it’s a convenient store/ gas station. So I went in a got Red Bull so I wouldn’t fall asleep during his play so I drank it, and watched his play. And if anyone wanted to know he played “Max” the dog in the play “How the Grinch stole Christmas” by Dr. Suess well at least the book is. But anyways, the play was great, and he was adorable in the play. But the point is that after all that I could not get to sleep til at least 2 in the afternoon that day. Which kinda made me mad. And ever since then I have been up ever since then after I get off from work in the morning. But with me not working now maybe I can break that cycle up, you can read that post in “No work, no money 3”. Last time I had this problem, I was working with a friend of my ex-wife’s boyfriend, and at that time, I was in between jobs then too, but this was like almost over 10 years ago. At that time me, and him and his other co-workers of his would always stop at 7-eleven to get drinks and etc. So what I always did was get at least two bottles of ice tea with gen sing in it. And I had drunk them faithfully for a month, the length of time I was doing roofing jobs before I found out that this is not my line of work. So yea I had energy for the whole day, and was tired and slept during the night until the next morning. But what I didn’t realize was that it stayed in my body, even when I stopped drinking it. So I think it took me like 2 to 3 months for my body to stop reacting to the gen sing from the tea. So that’s my story about me drinking anything like Red Bull, so hopefully this will end soon. Since now that I have the time to let my body rest. So as usual please leave me your comments on this post. Or on any other post that I have. So Dueces for now later.
