Meh... I'm back again. Dunno if I'll hang around long, most of you by now have figured out that I mostly write when life pisses me off. I'm grateful I haven't had to write much lately, heheh....
"And of the lad the world knew naught
till the shadow fell cross his blue hued eyes
And by his blade the pain was wrought
As half a clan in a season died."
-The Espyrian Chronos, Chapter 4
"I think we're goin about this all wrong."
-Me
I'm a big fan of the classics. Dante's Inferno, Edgar Allan Poe, Tennyson, and especially John Milton. As a consequence, I enjoy any music by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It just so happens that one of my favorite quotes from Mr. Milton is in one of Cave's songs:
"Fairwell happy fields
Where Joy forever dwells!
Hail, Horrors, hail!"
-John Milton
"He said, 'Mister motherfucker, you know who I am?'
And the barkeep said, 'No, and I don't give a good God damn!'"
-Nick Cave, The Murder Ballads, Stagger Lee
"Life is like a box of chocolates, but you do find the occassional turd in there." -me
And of course, the obligatory quote from one of my favorite movies:
"Victims. Aren't we all?"
-Brandon Lee (Rest In Peace), The Crow
Some people who have inspired me, or in some cases simply made me laugh hysterically, are:
My Brother William, without whom the Espyrian Chronos, Nahaloth, House Grayblade, and most importantly the Chimauron would not exist. (Confused? Wait for the books.)
My Dad, for being a crazy son of a bitch and for whipping my ass as a kid so I wouldn't end up in prison.
My best friend Adam Menuez, for inspiration in the face of otherwise insurmountable writer's block. HEED! MOVE!!
And last, but not least, my Mom, for always having the world's most disgusting jokes every time I call home. You've kept me smiling for many years.
Oh yeah, and my buddy Darun Ferguson, AKA The Axe Man, AKA SilentStalker. Thanks for showing me this site you crazy bastard! (Did you honestly think I would forget about you?)
If any of you want to get in touch, my yahoo ID is flynnt77. Or you can leave me a DPmail, of course.
