Oldest Rivalry In The World
I loved The DaVinci Code and Angel and Demons By Dan Brown. I still have yet to read his new book Inferno but when I do then I'll write a review on it. The main reason why I loved these books, it's because they approach the oldest debate between two rivals. Fact and logic or Faith and Belief, that is the question. Which one do we follow and put our trust in is a question I'll leave up to you to choose.
Anything that causes a controversy, at least in the United States, is pretty much guaranteed to get attention and probably lead to some profit. When Dan Brown hit it big with his novels about Catholicism and it's dark history. Some who are deep believers would consider such works, blasphemy such as The Vatican whom when The DaVinci Code urged Catholics worldwide not to see the movie. Others would consider the history and facts and just come up with their own assumptions.
Another movie that approaches this rivalry is The Exorcism of Emily Rose, a movie about a poor girl who was supposedly possessed by the devil but others believe that she had a mental defect. Emily Rose was having delusions and acting unusual while doing sadistic things to her body and speaking in dead languages that she couldn't have known about at her age. It's based on actual events that lead to the poor girl's inevitably death and question, was she really sick or infected by the devil. It's like a coin and there's a 50/50 chance of whose right.
This isn't like most rivalries where there is a good guy and a bad guy, these are both ideologies that are meant to guide people to do what is right. Some would say what is the definition of what should be right and who gives that being the right to tell us and the other side would say he is divine and higher being so he must no better than us. Again, two sides of the coin and both have evidence that backs up their claim on how human beings should behave. It's a rivalry that will go on, probably till the end of time.
Human beings have come up with many origin stories of how we arrived here, what our purpose is, and where we are going when we die. Some see this as guidelines to how human beings should act and behave while others see it as a form of control and restrictions. When you grow up at some point in time you'll have to make a decision on which side of the road you want to step on or stay in the middle. Which ever you choose I only hope you do so because it's your choice and not a predetermined one by someone else.

The Merlin Show is available on Amazon. If it doesn't make you laugh then you're dead inside.
When I was growing up I always believed that the legend of
King Arthur was something out of a modern day talk show. Think about it, a child
from a king who manipulated a woman, who then rises to be king himself and marry
a woman who would only cheat on him with his best friend. To make matters worse
he would be manipulated into having intercouse with his half-sister and they
would have a child of incest. If that doesn't sound like something that would
make a great talk show topic then I don't know what does. With the hardest
working wizard in talk shows with his trusty troll by his side, The Merlin Show
is something good to read if you're looking for a break. A short and sweet piece
for you to pick up, laugh and finish to put you in a better mood and enjoy your
day.

specific events in my life. This poetry book is also about the people I've met

This isn't just a book of words coming together to fill a page. It's a book containing vast emotions experienced by several people who have experienced the recession in their own way. Some of these poems will make you laugh, some will make you cry, and some will even terrify you.

My screenplay, "The Wall" is available on Amazon. Only $0.99!
There is a secret society known to many as The Wall. For
some, people who are working behind the scenes to maintain order when the law
fails those that depend on the system for security. To others, a ruthless group
of vigilantes that are taking the laws into their hands and destroying the very
image of Justice. A eager reporter gains the opportunity to interview a leader
of a Wall cell and during the interview, he listens to tales of members that are
seperate but come together for a disturbing conclusion. In a country where not
everyone can get justice because of reasons outside of their control, there is a
place to go.
When criminals break the laws and are freed on technicalities and cracks in the system, they soon find that there are no technicalities or no cracks when they face The Wall. Nobody can hide behind a flawed system that protects the rights of those who don't deserve them. The guilty may appear innocent but with resources provided by unknown sources, they all break when they go head on with a society of vigilantes. When the system that's meant to protect the people it serves fails them, how do criminals not expect the people to fight back?
This is my first screenplay that I've written because I like to test my skills and take them to a new level. Everyone loves a person who works outside the lines but let us see how the world reacts when it's a whole society. Could we handle the possibility that there are people who forget about "systems" and "rights" for the "greater good?" Is it worth the risk of falling down the "slippery slope" that we are afraid is going to happen? Buy this ebook and decide for yourself and thank you for your time, until the next is written.

Sacrifice.
I was involved in a deep conversation today with a group of my friends and the subject in question was about why all the wrong people seem to be in power. The problem I have with that claim is that it's inaccurate. If they are the wrong people then how did they get to that position in the first place? I know everyone would like to make their claims about how people got places and I'm sorry to break hearts but it's nothing but irrelevant complaints.
They inherited it, they know somebody higher up, she slept her way to the top, he kissed ass all the time, and the list goes on but guess what, has all this complaining gotten you anywhere? At the end of the day it happens and you either have two choices, you can either sacrifice your pride and move on with your profession hoping your time will come. Or you can sacrifice all the hard work you've done and quit your job but at the end of the day, you will sacrifice something. I'm not telling people what they should do or how they should get ahead in life because it's your life and you'll have to live with what you've done.
Any business is like politics, if you want to get ahead in life you will have to sacrifice something. You can't be the boss of a company if you can't look a man who needs a job and tell him he's fired and you can't lead a nation if you can't tell parents your sending their sons to war. I'm not saying that what it comes down too but bottom line, if you're not willing to go certain places then don't plan on becoming anyone in life. Ask anyone who runs a business or a country and tell me if they don't have graveyards. If you found one then I would be surprised but I'm pretty sure I'm right on this.
There has to be a sacrifice for success whether it's giving up a food or a lifestyle. Ignoring your heart and listening to your head and what's better for business. Life is all about sacrifice and the question you face in your life is what are you sacrificing for? If other people are doing things that are considered to be "Dishonorable" then loathe them for it. But don't say that they are the wrong people because at the end of the day, it got them somewhere. Whether it was the right thing to do or not I'll let someone else decide because I'm not here to judge.
