Quirks

With the game of heroclix there come some quirks or some superstitions. I myself when playing with switch my dice after a couple terrible rolls, one of the guys I work with will not pick his own boosters and half the time he doesn't open them. It must be working because he's pulled a parallax two zombies, and a superboy prime. When asking about superstitions most revolved around dice, not having anyone touch their dice, specific dice they use, even rubbing them together to heat them up. One thing I believe in as some one punted out on Facebook is good Karma. Passing on figures you win if you already have them. Including extras in trades. One of the biggest superstitions I know is dice are always more lucky when given to you. So in that world of good karma I try to throw some dice in with my trades. Are they lucky? I do not know, but I do know that I love sharing experiences and good time playing Clix.

Let's try this again

Life just sometimes gets in the way. With that being said life is usually more important. I have a few things that I really like to do, spend time with my family, write, play games, and overall be social.  It has been a long time since I had written anything of my own opinion so here it goes with this new post. In the coming days, weeks, months, and hopefully years more opinions will be made known. 

Comic Con

In Utah we are relatively new to the Comic Con game, we have had other expos such as Anime Bonsai, geex, just to name a few. Last September was the first comic con which I attended and it was awesome. The first comic con here was the third largest opening of a comic con. The very last day the convention center was over capacity and they had to close the doors. Less then a month ago Utah had Comic Con Fan Expo, where they brought tons of celebrities including Nathan Fillion, Patrick Stewart, just to name a few. It was absolutely crazy how many celebrities and people came. The Saturday of Fan Ex we had 100,000 people attend.  This shot us from the 3 highest opening Comic Con to the 3 largest Comic Con in the nation. Obviously the largest is San Diego, then there is New York, Emerald City, Chicago, Wonder con, Boston, and only two of all of these are above Salt Lake in cons. At Fan Ex I was privileged to take my big little dude, we were not able to see any panels but we were able to see the Kids Con they made specially made an area for kids. My big little dude was so excited to go, he was a trooper, and cannot wait to go back. In fact he wants his mom and brother to go the next time. Look out world, Salt Lake's Comic Con is something to be reckoned with. 

An Escape

I love to read, it is something I do to escape the hum drum world I live in. That is to say I love my life I have a job that can pay the bills a wonderful family and a roof over my head I cannot be more thankful for all of this. Sometime someone just needs to get away. Reading does this for me, whether it is running through the streets of London on a chase to get back the latest clankerton device or exploring a world that is made up of all the worlds from books.  From heroic character like Kaladin Stormblessed to The Thorn of Cammor and the Twins of legend.  I love the escape reading gives. Where have you escaped to recently?

Dragons

This week I sat down and watched How to Train you Dragon, one of my all time favorite animated features. The movie is loosely based on a children's book series starting with the book of the same title. Both the book and the movie are completely different but good nonetheless. I look at the world and try to find things to inspire me or to help
Me be a more creative person. I want to end with that thought, what have you done that is creative recently? What are you going to do to be creative or inspired this week?

What inspires you?

This simple question, what inspires you? Is forward to the point and logical. I asked myself this question a lot lately and especially these days less and less people are feeling inspired. I now begin anew not discounting what I have already done but looking forward to more and even better creative projects. Until next time what inspires you?

Busy

Life is super busy so what keeps you busy and what do you dread in your every day life?

Guilty pleasure

Books are something I really like especially stories that are well thought out and complex. That being said Mr. Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorite authors. I have not had a chance to read all his books but fell in love with mistborn continued with The Way of kings( which is one of my all time favorite books) and started to read The wheel of Time series just to see what he added. I just finished a book in a series that I know is terrible the book could have been made into multiple books and the writing is very passive. I have not published a book though I would really like to. So the point what is a guilty pleasure of yours and how much guilt do you have for liking that thing?

Prompt#1

It has been awhile but I will be trying to do more prompts again so here it goes. Find a public place, sit down, observe the people around you and take a conversation from them and wrote with that in mind

About time

I'm back. It has been awhile but I am planning on posting more. Currently I am reading the wheel of time series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. I will post more on that later. It's good to be back and I will be doing writing prompts and some short stories soon, I hope.

It's been a while

I know it has been a while, and I promise that it won't be nearly as long until I post again. Last year lots of stuff happened in my life and I was unable to keep up with the blog. I won't way it will not happen again, but i will try to update more often. Within the next week I will be posting the books I read in 2011. Until that is up I want to know what inspires you? and when was the last time your were inspired? until the books come up, ponder on your inspiration.

Memorial day

This prompt is for all those who have given part of their lives to the service of this country. What could that have entailed, and who does it affect?

End of the World

I know that yesterday the world was supposed to end, or something like that. So this is the prompt for a bit. How would the world end? Who would help this about? And what happens to the world, does it become some sort of wasteland or what?

Ink on the Brain

I have another blog called inkonthebrain.wordpress.com, it is all about writing and everything related. I will be trying to post more on both this and that blog. Thanks so much!

Writing

It is no secret that I like to write, I have a lot of stories bouncing around in my head at all times. I just submitted a story for the 2nd anthology of the Crimson Pact which is about demons and other really cool stuff. They guy who is the editor has helped me out with stuff recently and told me to think about submitting, I am glad to say that this is the first of many stories I hope to work on, and hope that it will make the cut to get into the next book. That is all for now, until I have somthing else to ramble on about.

Anti slacker

With life being as it is I have decided that I will not be doing everyday prompts any more. I will be making weekly prompts, they bay be a little bit apart, but I will be making weekly prompts about things that have been on my mind. So this week I was at work and after talking to my lead about him doing his job he told me "don't tell a man how to do his job." Now I have no problem not telling someone how to do their job, except when they aren't doing it. The prompt this week is have you ever had to someones job, and never gotten credit for it?

School

School is out now, though that really doesn't mean a lot to me because I am going to a technical school. The point is moot. Whenever school gets out I think of summer, and the adventures I used to have, and the things I used to do. This weeks prompt is what adventures do you remeber from your childhood, and how can you relive, or recreate those memories?

Slacker

I know I have been a super slacker when it has come to my daily prompts so I will not be doing daily prompts anymore. I have tons of excuses and none that really matter, all you need to know is I got sick and was battling a cold for longer than anyone should be battling a cold. As soon as the school semester is over I should be back to blogging about every week, I will try to be doing short stories from the prompts I have already posted and maybe some new short story ideas. I will try to get on here and post some interesting info from time to time, but for now I won't be posting every day.

Frogs
