That book was crappy

I was looking back at the hundreds of posts that i have done (3) over the past year, and i saw that i was reading the book Law of Nines by Terry Goodkind. For the record, dont read that shitty book. Terry Goodkind did a fantastic job on his initial series called "the sword of thruth" series, the first book being "Wizards First Rule." That series consisting of about 12 books was phenomenal, with a great opening book and a great story throughout. Law of Nines was a desperate attempt to make some quick cash off the backs of loyal readers. They even made a sad sad tv adaptation called "Legend of the Seeker." Fans of the series everywhere slit their wrists. Reminded me of the Dresden Files series that SCIFI tried to put on. Another great great fantasy series by Jim Butcher, completely cut up....by the apparent need to make money and not a good show. I read 40 books on deployment, I have a list of them around here somewhere, ill go thru them and maybe hit somehighlights for a few decent series.

1 Year Anniversary Blog of Blogging

I dunno if this is a habitual lack of commitment to writing but ive been thinking that i should pick up my blog, So i sign in and look around. Its been 5 days past 1 year since ive posted. Its like i didn't even give it a good try. As if my blog had bad breath on our first date, i just look at the caller ID and click Ignore. But a lot of shit has happened in the year that i've been gone. I deployed with the 15th MEU to a whole slue of countries and had a decent time. I've melted my brain with hours upon hours of primetime television programming that was passed around like cheap wine on my ship. I've seen seasons of Dexter, Weeds, 24, Sarah Connor Chronicles, House, True BLood, Greys Anatomy and House. As well as a dozen or so anime series. On a boat when you are in the infantry there really isnt much for you to do besides the generic heaping of bullshit that comes with the usmc. Ill get into more of that shit later, i just wanted to dust off the ole blog. Caio
