WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER BE?

I have recently read www.erhinspired.blogspot.com/ newest post, and I have to say she put a very good question out into the world. A question that I have asked people many times before. I know full well that people's personalities link in with the animal they choose.

So I was thinking, what animal most represents me, so here goes:

There are wolves, they are Pack animals and live in families, I love my family so it fits. They are good hunters and they are very cute, in my opinion. They have a leader, their Alpha, I think of myself follower in some ways. I prefer to go off on my own sometimes so that would make me different from other wolves.

So leading onto that I would be an eagle, they can fly and have a free spirt, they look at the world in a different way, from high above the land we see and even though i am scared of heights I think if I get up there I would lave. Eagles are beautiful animals, they are graceful and me personally I'm not that graceful so maybe thats were the similarities end.

Erhinspired thought that she was an elephant because the never forget, I think that she is right, she doesn't forget, but me I am useless and would forget my head if it wasn't screwed on tight. But then I was thinking, if there was any animal in the world it would either be the eagle because they live somewhere far away, they are free, they can fly high above the clouds and see the moon every night. Or it would be the wolf, because they are beautiful animals and they can run free amongst the trees and smell the wet grown after it had rained. Or trudge through the snow in winter and watch their pups play.

If someone said tomorrow there is a drug that they can give you to make you into anything you wanted then I would be torn between the eagle and the wolf. I don't know what is more precious to me, they are both beautiful animals and they both represent me in ways I don't think that people see me.

So give it some thought and get back to us, have a look on http://www.erhinspired.blogspot.com/ to see what she said, it is rather amusing, as always.

Thank you and have a wonderful evening.

Me and E.R.Hardcastle of http://www.erhinspired.blogspot.com/ have made another challenge, like we did a few weeks before using The Scripts Science and Faith Album to create a poem. We have changed it a little.

Instead, this time she came up with a better idea. We are using films that our favorite actors or actresses have been in. I have used Cameron Diaz for mine. It isn't very good, but here goes:

The Box is the only think i keep dear to me.
The Bad Teacher is the key.
If i were In Her Shoes I'd make a cup of tea,
Made of Very Bad Things. 
The Mask of her will just stop people from seeing who she is.

Yes, terrible i know, but it's still a laugh to do. Try it and send me your own through email or through a comment to that others can see.
Thanks,

If you write than you know that its a leap of faith, you jump off a cliff of normality and you create a world around you with words, imagery and everything that you can to change people.

I know that being a writer is hard, it is because at first your not sure that your doing the right this, when really you are just programmed to think that because of rules and regulations around the places you've lived and been too. You cant touch that because it isn't yours, you cant eat that because it your brothers. At school you wear what you want because it isn't smart, you have to go because its law.

But in your writing you cant take those rules and regulations out and you can create a new world for yourself to escape to at the end of the day.

You take a rick, you open yourself up and let words flow out of you. You take a chance, you open yourself and sometimes it doesn't work out. You make a change, you chance people and yourself, once you embrace the words of writing, the words of feelings and then what that things flow, you cant let go.It will be a part of you and i know that i wouldn't change that for the world.

I's never want to do anything else, everyone else is just normal, but me, I'm different because i want to be, i make my own world of insanity and i make what i want to happen in my characters life. I take inspiration from the world around me, from the people i know and i use that in my novels and ideas, draw what you want from the world, don't be scared to scratch away the normality of life, there is always a hidden meaning of the life that you lead and others around you.

Don't be afraid of who you are otherwise there is no point in writing, there would be no point. Have faith in who you are, don't forget who you are inside and who you want to be. I know that telling your family is hard and telling your friends is harder, but take it from me, there are going to be moments that people don't believe. But you know what i say? Stuff what they think that believe, if you want to be a writer then get your ass into gear and do it, because there is nothing better than to write what your heart desires to read.

I was reading a sample from 'The Marriage Of Hell and Heaven' from William Blake.
I have been thinking, I'm not really a religious person so i don't really have views on God and beliefs. But i was reading this nit said that Blake was happy to believe that man was the creator of God.
See that got me thinking, do you think that its possible to imagine such a thing because we don't want to face out own mistakes?

People said that it was the will of the Gods that things happen. But isn't it what we do that predicts the life that we will lead?
Why do we think of such a being from thin air that created us, when there are people who blame him for everything bad that happens in the world?
To me, i think that people blame a God for their own mistakes. I don't know if there is a God, to be honest, i don't really want to know, there are things that are meant to be left unknown, is there is a life after death a life of hate and misery that we call Hell? Or a place so pure its only for the purest of people?
Is there where we came up with the idea of God? Angels and Devils with Demons as their right hand army?

Me being me i get swayed by the simplest things, but in this i am sticking to my guns. In my view there is no God. There is no proof that we walked the earth, too much science has progressed to make me think that anything is different than evolutions made us who we are today.
So, when there are so many different divides amongst the world, have they seen things that are different than what i have? Do they believe in a God because they are too afraid of facing their own fears? Or is it that i am too scared to embrace the purity that we call Our God?

I don't know if God is read or just a fragment of the human imagination, if so then how did i get started?
I have just begun to realise that there are too many questions for one person, there must be others who think the same that can put their comments across so that i have hear your views. Or from people who do believe in a God, it would be very interesting to hear why you believe in a God.
So to all of you who believe and to those who don't, i would be very helpful to hear what you think and feel about my ideas. I would love to hear your ideas and thoughts about this.
Thank you,

I have mentioned before that i am going to do something really sweet from my brother who is going away to University. Well, I thought that I'd keep you all updated and I have finished.

I am ready to get it done and published, but I'm worried, sometimes I get the feeling that my brother doesn't really appreciate things like i would, I don't know if he will like it. I try to reassure myself that things are okay and he will like it. But on occasion, like tonight, i got a serious case of the jitters. To be a writer, I am donating some of my best work towards my brother and i had a serious thought: 'What if he doesn't like it?' I have found that i have asked myself that so many times over the days I've been working on the master piece for him. But the answers keep swirling in my head like a shark in water. All i can do is HOPE and sometimes i have a lack in it.

 I have tried my hardest, but you must know that inspiration doesn't come when asked for, it appears when you never have a bleedin' pen. So i have tried everything. I have walked around my favorite places and my worst. But then I found retreating inside myself in a quiet spot on my own and remember all the good times I've had with my brother instead of the bad I have got to where i am right now. I remember all the laughs and ignored all the arguments. I have remembered everything good about him, but used a few of his bad points, but I'm sure he wont mind.

Well, that's what i did and that's how I have got to where I am right now. But you may ask why i do this for my brother, the answer is this: Without my brother, i wouldn't be who i am today and when i think about all the good points of my life he has been there and i want him to be the star of this one. But then when i think of low points, he is always there to pick me up again when i need him too.

But please, just let me have one last nag before i leave you tonight, i told my parents and they didn't congratulate me on my greatest achievement then were more interested in their program rather than say well done to their child on her biggest moment in life. I sometimes wonder why i bother telling them anything. I don't know if i have don't this because I wanted it, or because i wanted my brother Jake to have it. I just hope o am doing the right thing here for him because I don't think that there is anything else i can give him other than my words in this book for him.

I just wanted to say thank you, again, to E.R,Hardcastle of erhinspired.blogspot.com she has helped me out a few times for this as well. Please look at her blog, i am sure you will feel inspired to go ahead and write something of you own.
Thank you,
