Everything DOES Happen for a reason

Hi everybody sorry for the late blog. Been busy with making an advertisement for the novel which I am going to launch very very soon. If you have not seen my latest blog or creation Check it out at: http://aceofblades2014.blogspot.com/

That is where you can see my advertisement for my upcoming new novel " ACE OF BLADES" I know I have not posted lot about it. It's because I am busy working on it and editing which has been consuming me among other things. But I am moving along. 15 chapters right now as we speak. that is 75% in my head complete. We are nearing the finish line people. ^_^

 Okay so working on the advertisement I was little frustrated if you could't tell by some of the posts I left last week on FB. But I still accomplished what I needed to accomplish. And working on this ad for my book it made me reflect on my college days when I didn't know my head from the hole in the ground. Comp graph design. Back then when I took those classes my mind was out of control and I didn't have an idea at all what I wanted to study for a life career. But the main reason behind that I was going through  massive life changes. ( Don't we all love change? *cough* nope *cough*)
   But when I took the classes I knew from the jump it had nothing do to with my life career. However I always wanted to educate myself in the computer tech field somehow someway that way I would have some knowledge.  I thought maybe it would give me some light in where I needed to focus on. Sadly I felt like I wasted my time there and lost a semester of my college career. But now I do not regret it. If it wasn't for that class I would have not known how to make an ad using programs such as Pixlr or Gimp. So I am very humble and content that I took the time to educate myself in that class. and I was glad it came in handy. So my message for you today is " EVERYTHING DOES HAPPEN FOR A REASON". For those of you that thought what ever you did was a waste of time now. Reconsider the thought. Because you never know the skills you learned today, yesterday, or previous years could be a component or a stepping stone to your success. So count your talents and blessings and be grateful for what you know...And if you don't know about something...Educate yourself because a wise person never stops learning.

Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.

Valentines Day

Hey Everybody how's everybody doing? I've been busy...busy busy busy.If its not my job keeping me busy. My novel is kicking me in the butt. But mainly my job. So I'm seeing on the calendar Valentines day is 3 days away....I can't believe we're in February...SHEESH...I missed Chinese New Year due to work. Happy New Year of the Horse...Yahoo!!!! And I shall be missing Valentines Day....Yeah.. :/ Valentines Day I despise it with a passion. Me and my friends were having a conversation about this and here I thought I was the only one but it seems there are others that feel the same about me. One of my best friend she glorifies it and I mean her and her fiance they go out the way to celebrate it. More power to them. I can't. Here is my thing. Why in the world should I have to wait for the significant other to show how much they appreciate me and our relationship? If I'm in a relationship with someone everyday should be Valentines day in my books. I think Valentines Day is too commercialized and too artificial. Those commercials on tv with " Buy this ring to say you truly love her this V Day.... Every Kiss my @$$ with K.... Get Real. Unless proposing marriage; I don't think so. And some people and you know who you are use Valentines Day as a day to apologize for being a douche. Are you serious? Come on. And then I've had some people tell me the only reason why I feel that way is because I'm not in a relationship. In my last two relationships I felt the same way and told the male counterparts don't get me anything for Valentines Day you're wasting your time and money. I don't mean to be a scrooge but I'm not into artificial love. I'm into the real love the kind that has no boundaries. Does not set it to one day out of the year to show and express how the other feels. No... every day in your relationship should be Valentines Day. Both should be doing the equal work to make it feel like Valentines Day. And that is where I stand... Until next post...And free time I have to check my mail and junk.... Hang Lose and Happy V day for those that do celebrate it and for those like me that dont....Have a Awesome Friday. Keep Dreaming and Keep pushing hard to make your dream come alive. Do something Awesome this year. M. Yori

Do all things with love.

I remember one of my guy friends had this pick on his laptop and I died every time looking at it. It explains exactly how I feel for Valentines Day.

1st crush

This morning I woke up early and saw SAO for the very first time...I am impressed I want to watch more...But any who watching SAO made me think about the first time I had saw my very first anime...So I had to blog about this. So when I was younger I fell in love with anime at I would say at the age of 7ish....watching my first anime which surprisingly was not Sailor Moon. It was actually Vampire Hunter D. I remember pressing the channel changer ( it was before the cable box and remote control came into play.) Pressing down each button and then I cam across Vampire Hunter which I think was on the Sci-fi channel at the time...I don't know can't remember but crazy right?...Any who andI was watching the movie where D had saved some girl and she had offered herself to him and I saw D with his fangs hanging and all but yet he was conflicting with his conscience. I thought that was really really cool and among other things it was something different from the traditional cartoons I watched. After that I was like WOW....I want to watch more of this. After that I got hooked onto anime like it was a fricken drug...After that I had to get my fix watching Speed Racer (old school) , Ronin Warriors, Voltron ( old school), all those Amazing shoes. And as I got older and all I thought to myself wondering if I'll ever be like them some day...(It's going to happen one of these days....I know it.) And then when middle school moving into high school and Toonami launched...( ya'll knew what time it was 4pm to 6  C'mon( its shut up I'm watching Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, Card Captors, Pokemon ( Original) Yu-gi-oh ( Original), Tenchi Muyo, Cowboy Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Reboot, Gundam Wing and best of all DBZ time. I!! But anyway I fall in love with anime all over again every time I watch a new anime that aired. But in high school seeing all of it...I jumped on the Otaku train and said " I want to make manga and live in the anime world...." I haven't made any progress yet but I am a writer so hey better something than nothing I am heading somewhat into that direction. But I still will push forward for that dream to come alive...Because that is where my heart feels and knows where I belong and feel the most comfortable and my passion and inspiration to write.   What was your gateway anime?
