Maybe... maybe not.

Where have you been?

I flaked out on you guys out of lack of interest, probably not a flattering answer, but forums get old after you've been on them for so long. You start running out of things to talk about, and things to give your thoughts on. Also, I've kind-of been disconnected from much of anything. I decided with the start of my new YouTube channel, working on my new book, and getting into shape that it was time to come back.

Know how you feel, I get like that sometimes too.



And stressing about my health problems recently not been up to foruming.
 
It's absolutely freezing cold ( 9F) outside. Glad I was off last night as it was -8F!



How are you today?
 
I've been going to the gym for the last three weeks, and I've lost eight-pounds so far, and I haven't weighed myself since the second week, so I've been on a 4-pound per week deal recently.

So yesterday I visited a village called Ee, it would almost (it's kinda in the middle of nowhere) be worth living there just for the name.

Nice going.
 
Well bloodtests have come back all clear. Doc has referred me to a Neurologist. Still is rather concerned about my shakes but he's glad it's not liver or thyroid problems.​

Excellent and keep up the good work! How much weight are you trying to lose?

At least you ruled that out. Now, hopefully, the Neurologist can find the cause.

Enough that I look the way that I want, as for how much that is in stones, I have absolutely no idea, I don't think that I'll ever change my diet back or stop going to the gym. I am afraid that it's probably going to be my life-style from now on.
 
Morning, no gym for me today, my ear is having the day off :/ Bloody thing, been a pain ever since that ear infection.



Hopefully will be cleared up enough to go tomorrow.

Good for you and I give you a lot of credit for doing what you need to make yourself look the way you want. It's not easy to change eating habits but from what I read, you've got the determination to make this work for you.

Hope it feels better tomorrow!
 
I think that I'd like Korn so much more if Jonathan Davis didn't look like a dork in all their videos, he has one of the voices out there, ... anyway, what's going on with you guys?
 
Hello EE and Nicholas!



I had a very busy morning but it's calmed down now.
 
I feel tireder than usual, figuratively more than literally, I don't feel like doing anything that's part of my usual schedule, I think that I am probably going to end up spending the next few hours writing. In the last two months, I have actually wrote 225 pages to a new fantasy book that I am working on, and the story has enough to it that I am only about a third of the way done.
 
Hi, Jazzy. What's been keeping you busy?

O.o Go you.

What's it about?
 
@EE: I have a UBS Flash Drive plugged into the side of a digital picture frame. When I turn the frame on, the pictures auto play. I wanted to put the frame on a timer BUT when the timer comes on, it says unable to play the selected pictures. I tried 10 times to get it to work and then gave up!

I almost missed this. Wow, that's a lot of pages so far. I'd also like to know that the book is about.

In a manner of speaking, it's a mythological fantasy, that analyzes the possibility of God's actually being weaponry, like I said, that's in a manner of speaking. Basically, I described the world as being something reminiscent of the scenes that were documented in El Salvador, they said that they saw things like kids carrying their own mother's heads because they didn't understand what was going on, and that they were dead. There were body parts hung up in trees, and anyone who'd try to take them down would be shot. I think that all of that has been greatly exaggerated, well, maybe not exaggerated, but I don't think that it was quite as deliberately sadistic, that sounds like something out of a horror movie, but I describe the word as complete chaos. Then, there are these people looking down at all of this from the top of a mountain, they are watching all of this pain and all of this suffering, and they know that as themselves, they can do absolutely nothing to stop it.



They are very, very powerful people, but they can't really do much, so they shed off their shells and fly to the sky, sacrificing themselves and providing for the greater good. I know that it comes off really romanticized, but it was supposed to come off as kind of biblical and magical at the same time, basically, now the world is in peace-time for the people. Every major town of the area has a God that they use to shield their city from threats until one day, one of the people uses their God to kill another, and now the world has slowly but surely gone back to Hell. I want for it to be a take on historical events in the world, like the Holocaust, for example, one of the doctors that is in the story, I based on Dr. Mengele, a doctor that used to experiment on twins in camps.



There's a whole lot more to it than that, but all I can give about the story is that very, very vague description. Basically, it's supposed to be a fantasy-novel but with moments of comedy and horror. I don't want it to come off as something like Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings, but something all of its own.





... You asked.

Intriguing. And rather vague indeed.

Weird, sounds like a cool thingy though. Don't have a manual or something?
