Captain's Log:

This is my first attempt to post on my blog with my Blackjack. I hope it comes out all right.

First, to all of the critics that said FF: Rise of the Silver Surfer was boring and poorly done...You are all idiots. I thought the movie was excellent. It was much better than the first one, and the storyline of the Silver Surfer was extremely well done. They stuck to the original story of the Surfer almost entirely. The movie was very, very good. Do not listen to the critics, for they are all morons.

Today is Cliff's wedding, so I am getting ready to head over to the church. I just finished my People to People meeting, and that went well.

I finally finished the sixth HP book, and I am waiting for the last one. That is only the first book of the month for me. I need to hurry and finish a couple more before the end of the month.

I was reading the winning stories in the Proteus Review, which is a competition at BCC for the students and staff. They are some of the most poorly written stories that I have ever read. Anyway, while reading the awful, winning story I came up with a new idea for a short, which I hope to start writing soon. It will be title (tentitively) The Teenage Experience, and will follow one high school year in the lives of at least six students of varying ages. Discussing, with the help of a fictional setting, the problems, difficulties, changes, and experiences of a teenager.

I will not enter it into the competition, because it will be too long. I did submit a story last May, but it did not do that well. If you type my first and last name into the Google search engine it should bring up my story as one of the first few results. I am still trying to decide whether or not I want to enter another story, because it seems the judges only appreciate gay storylines and hand out first place to papers with many, many errors and poor content.

I do believe that that is all that I will have time for today. So, until next time, goodbye.

you should definitely submit a story! Who cares if the judges stink! Everyone who's read your writing knows you're a GREAT writer. Submit it for yourself. Besides, you already know the judges don't know good literature, so unless they actually have decent judges this year you shouldn't care if they don't pick yours! Besides, then we your friends can read your work!!!

I, for one, love to read your stories. I think they are incredibly well-written and your patented sarcasm always draws a nice chuckle out of me. I know I do not have to list the names of now-famous authors which had no meritous awards or even credibility before writing their first "big" novel. Keep at it.
