I hate saying that, because of my childhood dream about becoming a writer.<br />
I guess life is trying to take it's toll on me, or maybe it's my mind trying to hurt itself before anything can happen.<br />
<br />
To me, life is written in chapters, depending on what is going on. School wasn't a factor in my chapters, where I was, who I was with, and the way I thought at the time determined each chapter. But I look back at the memories from each chapter and at times I'm full of emotion, feelings of longing and at times regret.<br />
<br />
But I guess everyone feels this from time to time. Can't change the past but it can still affect your future.<br />
<br />
The real reason for my writer's block is how drastic my life changed after high school. Getting a job, moving out, getting engaged, the list goes on. So much new responsibility, but all with the knowledge of what will happen in the future.<br />
<br />
It's pessimistic, it's a times morbid, but I know that all I have will come to an end. My life, those I love, those I have yet to meet. I'm terrified when it all will end, and if I am ready for any of it.<br />
<br />
These sad thoughts drive the creativity from my mind, darken my mood and attempts to alienate me form others.<br />
<br />
I hope this changes, as I understand this is a phase I will eventually get past. I hope my writing stops suffering and I can get on with my stories.<br />
<br />
I'm going to start using my twitter more often to so I will keep everyone updated as my stories are coming along.<br />
<br />
That about wraps this up, I apologize for the depressing mood, just wanted to get that off my mind a bit.<br />
<br />
The next time I post it will be a more positive update of the next chapter or a new story entirely.<br />
<br />
Till next time,<br />

They you step and it jumps into classic spider death position. You know, the one that they are on their backs and with their legs curled up to a point.<br />
<br />
That is what happened at work the other night.<br />
<br />
So here is the story...<br />
<br />
I work the late night at work, and I work as a cook. Well this was a particularly boring night, (the busiest it got was when I first got there), and we were going to be closed for a couple of hours due to the find of roaches in the dining room, so a bug guy was coming in and pesticide-ing the place out.<br />
<br />
He came and went in, we stayed outside waiting, for about 2 hours, and then he give us the clear and says that he found nothing, nothing at all. Even I have seen at least one roach, but I guess they were tipped off about the bug guy and fled. Anyhow, it went on a bit later and I had finished restocking the cook's line, and remade all the gravies and such, when I heard the server screaming my name from the dining room.<br />
<br />
When I came around the corner, she was yelling, "Kill it! Or I'm leaving!" I immediately thought she saw a large roach (and after the bug guy left!) But it turned out to be a rather large Wolf Spider. That thing glared at me as I put my foot down on it.<br />
<br />
So apparently the server has an pretty bad case of arachnophobia, and called me her hero all night.<br />
<br />
And that is my story, I lead a pretty boring life except for a few moments that could be used to tell a good story with.<br />
<br />
The moment I make up one I will be sure to let you guys know! (Kidding!)<br />
<br />
Now on to the updates.<br />
<br />
I had to push back the deadline for Darunia's fanfiction, I am having such writer's block with it. I have a tendency to write out my stories by hand first and then type them up later, and with this second chapter, I keep crossing out whole paragraphs because that aren't fitting right in my head. It doesn't help that the scene I am working on involves quite a bit of dialogue, which is my weakest writing point. But what can you do but practice right?<br />
<br />
The next update is Pikmin Origins, which is coming along nicely, I just need to wrap up this next chapter (and wouldn't you know it, the part I'm working on is dialogue! Go figure!) I am starting to see a pattern with my writing. But I should have that up along with Darunia on June 5th and if you want to stay informed, just follow me on Twitter @RogerCascaden I update most of my blogs on there the day it comes out with a link and everything!<br />
<br />
Well, I think I have typed your eyes out, so I think it would be fair to let you go now, but remember to keep your friends and family who keep spiders as pets from taking then out to eat with them. The spiders might get left behind and scare a poor server.<br />
<br />
Alright then, until next time I'm still...<br />

This would be Rocket, my dad's black lab who just so happened held this pose for several hours just so my brother could get a camera and snap this shot, captions and all! (Not true, just lucky pic and the captions were added) This would be my first step toward taking over the internet world. As we all know, animals doing cute, funny, or bizarre things are running the businesses right now, even more so when captions are involved. So I hitched a ride on the band wagon and am cruising toward an internet life of prosperity and shiny things... Or the complete opposite... That might explain why this wagon is full of neighborhood news, home videos of boring and poor quality material and an old ipod that needs batteries.<br />
<br />
Yep that is my plan.<br />
<br />
On the next note, I have not updated in a while because last Saturday, my grandfather of 68 passed away in the VA Hospital he was in only the day after my mother and grandmother returned from visiting him. It's been a tough time even before he was in the hospital, since for the past 2 years, he had been swiftly going down hill starting with his legs which had begun to die. He even lost feeling but still drove everywhere himself. He even didn't realize that his foot was on the accelerator and destroyed his carport and the stairs to his house. He put a foot stool in place to get inside. He was a heavy, heavy smoker, and a heavy drinker all from a very young age, so most of his problems came from complications of both of them. Just a month ago he sneezed and fell over, breaking his back and hospitalizing him. What he didn't tell us was that he had fallen again in the hospital this time hitting his head and causing internal problems that gave his seizures and even in his sleep, he was still writhing in pain. For a little bit, while my mother and grandmother was there, he appeared to be getting better and my mother and uncle even found a nursing home they intended to put him in, but once she left, he got worse and eventually passed.<br />
<br />
We are just thankful that it was relatively short considering if he pulled through he would be under constant care, and being a man who once had the ability and drive to do what he wanted, when he wanted, and live completely independent, he would have been miserable for the rest of his days. The worst part about it for me isn't that he passed, I was prepared for it, but how my mother is taking it. She had centered her future around moving north and being a nurse so she could take care of him and make sure he was alright instead of putting him in a nursing home, or worse, following my great uncle Ronald, my grandfather's brother-in-law, who died alone in his house and was found almost a week later already half-decayed. So the hardest part is my mother dealing with her future plans shifting, and being without her father.<br />
<br />
So I haven't had the time to really update everything of mine, I have a bit, but not as much as I had hoped. But before I close out I would like to present you with a link to my Step-mother's art website her calligraphy facebook page, she and my father are in a bit of a financial choke hold and she is trying to sell some of her art, which is getting better and better all the time, so I invite you to check it out as well.<br />
<br />
Well then, until next time, this is Roger and I'm out.<br />

In one of my previous posts I discussed a bit about the Trayvon Martin case and how I was afraid that it would escalate farther into the danger zone then it already had.<br />
<br />
Well I recently discovered that my step-brother's girlfriend's uncle was beaten within an inch of his life. Yeah it happened about a week ago, and I don't know how he is doing. Last I heard he was in critical condition and telling people not to let him die. His sister had watched the whole thing as it happened and she said it was the most horrific thing she had ever witnessed.<br />
<br />
It happened in Alabama and started with the uncle yelling at some kids in the road. They ran off and a group of about 20 adults came after him. They had anything they could carry, paint cans, chairs, anything they could carry, then ran onto his front porch and nearly killed him!<br />
<br />
Now I don't know what he said to the kids to get them to get their family to try and kill the guy, but I angers me a bit. They came after him, they cornered him on his porch and tried to kill him, and to add insult to injury, one of them called out when they started to leave, "Now that's justice for Trayvon!"<br />
<br />
I'm sorry, what was that? "Justice?" by beating someone who had absolutely NO connection with that case? Really? If that is justice then there really isn't any hope for anyone is there? I was afraid that the nation wide "call to arms" that resulted after Trayvon died would spill over into an angrier pre-civil rights period. But it unfortunately is expected, now that Zimmerman was arrested, the call to justice would get out of hand. People are too sensitive and as a whole, they attempt to justify their actions as the right thing to do even though there was no connection with their reasoning.<br />
<br />
In this case, the group believed their actions were right to attempt murder because they were defending the honor of Trayvon, who was killed because of racism. To me, that's stupid, whatever drive they felt to preserve the honor of their race should have been dealt with better than that. If this is the 21st century, why don't we act like it? Aren't we supposed to evolve from our mistakes, and flaws? One type of human theory is that we, as a mass, are continuously growing to a better race, but with moments like these, were they are taking incidents like Zimmerman killing Trayvon and turning it into an entire race war.<br />
<br />
Not everyone is like Zimmerman, but some people seem to think that it is true. It's unfortunate, but it is an ugly truth about mankind.<br />
<br />
Sorry about the rant, I felt like sharing this story and a bit of my take on it.<br />
<br />
Well then, I am kinda curious on your take on the world today, and especially the incidents as a result of the Trayvon case. Leave a comment below and let's give everyone a healthy dose of opinions.<br />

Well...cool? This happens to be one of my favorite childhood movies of all time, I would say it was number 3 on my scale. Tonight I want to make a list, a personal list of the classic Disney movies I grew up with and a little bit about why they spoke so strongly to me.<br />
<br />
Want to hear them? Well just keep reading my friend, if you don't, awe well, this is a personal blog, you don't have to stay here for anyone's benefit.<br />
<br />
5.The Jungle Book<br />
My number 5 on this short list is The Jungle Book. I remember days long past when I would put the rather large VHS Cassette into the VHS player and sat down on my bed and watched the story of Mowgli and Baloo unfold from start to finish. I loved King Louie's song "I wanna be like you", and the elephants. I related to Mowgli as he was being taken to the Man village though he would prefer to stay with the wolves. I have always known that things were going to change, and try as I might, they happened. I felt that I was moved from my family to another place at times. But hey, that sounds like growing up to me.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioEvuAMhNrlbITGkAI9-cv9Oewp5WcVJ9-vkHdpfPS0BxcQ0RAsZfGv38Ym3FmbZjOA_I0PRTs_IUwura19eOhaLtCqd0KRxIQUUP_kWiIAKvp44UxCo_yZT3hAkxHaVCdbOT3k94GSd9F/s1600/the_jungle_book-5051.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioEvuAMhNrlbITGkAI9-cv9Oewp5WcVJ9-vkHdpfPS0BxcQ0RAsZfGv38Ym3FmbZjOA_I0PRTs_IUwura19eOhaLtCqd0KRxIQUUP_kWiIAKvp44UxCo_yZT3hAkxHaVCdbOT3k94GSd9F/s320/the_jungle_book-5051.jpg" /></a></div>4.Fox and the Hound<br />
The Fox and the Hound was a childhood favorite as it reminded me of my old friends growing up. I always pictured myself as Cooper, innocent, fun-loving and a bit clumsy, but afraid of a lifestyle I could be in as it would entail separating myself from my friends. In the end, I lost my friends as they left to live somewhere else.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1OQMrp2kR_F2j0-7QEQEnS0QNpAvfFu8pOlKrgqLYcML53rM9vLP60jMZB8Sz4d5MupiCCJAbjUmJ1HhCEsn8_rD28nwa_qO5J60pTlzQENQz7iA7ZY5qIq8WmRAYchuX9a2rUNNMg0R6/s1600/fox-and-the-hound.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="250" width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1OQMrp2kR_F2j0-7QEQEnS0QNpAvfFu8pOlKrgqLYcML53rM9vLP60jMZB8Sz4d5MupiCCJAbjUmJ1HhCEsn8_rD28nwa_qO5J60pTlzQENQz7iA7ZY5qIq8WmRAYchuX9a2rUNNMg0R6/s320/fox-and-the-hound.jpg" /></a></div><br />
3.Hercules<br />
Now here's a movie I couldn't get enough of growing up. Born great, and became greater. Hercules was my inspiration, even causing tears to sting my eyes at Micheal Bolton's song "Going the Distance". Growing up, I felt out of place, as if I didn't belong there. I was awkward around people, reserved for the most part, and felt like a screw up, like each chance I had to have the spotlight I messed up somehow. But because of Hercules, I knew that one day, if I kept trying, I would reach where I was destined to be.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqce_OLTwGf-fCOxQSJL_WI0iTIAAtYfqMSuiZWp1jePyouSLTxgBGqmc8tPov44wdYF6ZqavznEkSKhvOD7cNRDkzbHT5_FhhRSQN3bGhpxr_3kvrjY2gebDDuTSYyz9XbINnakp5gVVO/s1600/soundtrack-hercules-disney-219523.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqce_OLTwGf-fCOxQSJL_WI0iTIAAtYfqMSuiZWp1jePyouSLTxgBGqmc8tPov44wdYF6ZqavznEkSKhvOD7cNRDkzbHT5_FhhRSQN3bGhpxr_3kvrjY2gebDDuTSYyz9XbINnakp5gVVO/s320/soundtrack-hercules-disney-219523.jpg" /></a></div>2.The Hunchback of Notre Dame<br />
Another movie that spoke to my isolated life. For whatever reason, I started to talk down to myself, making my childhood depression worse. To me, Frolo in the movie was that voice talking down to me, telling me I was a monster compared to others, that I needed it to be safe. I was of course Quasimodo, locked up in my own bell tower with the very key to my lock in my back pocket. I was just too afraid the voice was right.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSIoSiQ8Sb1fssEX3gGhShhm3oAwwxAl-74GwUMhjH-kLmHtv4NtNfR5TLtswKIGScGAR-iVwlZBVMT4fbyz-pyGQTKgyRbcHf_2OfadA39-Pd3lhZz8lRuCupUuBrbFjy44uIV_SxUro1/s1600/HunchbackLitho.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="237" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSIoSiQ8Sb1fssEX3gGhShhm3oAwwxAl-74GwUMhjH-kLmHtv4NtNfR5TLtswKIGScGAR-iVwlZBVMT4fbyz-pyGQTKgyRbcHf_2OfadA39-Pd3lhZz8lRuCupUuBrbFjy44uIV_SxUro1/s320/HunchbackLitho.jpg" /></a></div>1.Tarzan<br />
By far my favorite movie of all time. This timeless story echoes the same message the others did, about not fitting in and feeling like there was more to my life, except in this one, it mirrored my curiosity of what it was like to be apart of a new, and more exciting world. A world free of fear, of self doubt, and willing to accept any hand that reached out.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBYkK8StQ6PqJ-aSusP0xRG71QFKwNdfd3_ZcJ8a5X8ttv6VtnMU-k-Xqb5qbsmeeXfmp05_hFIkzF73Pn5LFsQk4yS7QeEuq8ob_9Lymstju4Ab0ZU6uAzmFbKzQGDzUZGz3NDIk4xhoZ/s1600/Tarzanboek04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBYkK8StQ6PqJ-aSusP0xRG71QFKwNdfd3_ZcJ8a5X8ttv6VtnMU-k-Xqb5qbsmeeXfmp05_hFIkzF73Pn5LFsQk4yS7QeEuq8ob_9Lymstju4Ab0ZU6uAzmFbKzQGDzUZGz3NDIk4xhoZ/s320/Tarzanboek04.jpg" /></a></div><br />
All these movies congregated to make me who I am today, and in due process, will help make me who I should be in the future. Because of the stories told in each movie, I became interested in mythology, classic books, new ideas. And they all in themselves developed my imagination, giving me the greatest joy I could ever know myself.<br />
<br />
I thank you for taking the time to read this, I really do appreciate it. I hope your days and nights guide you well, as we continue on in this ever changing, ever wonderful world we live it.<br />

Want an update on my life? I recently got a promotion at work and as a result, got a boatload of hours that keep me busy and tired to the point were I literally fall asleep while standing. In addition to this, I still have the remainder of my schoolwork to contend with and as a result, the little time I have to myself only gives me enough time to create only a sentence or two on another project of mine.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOUDM6Xz4w67aweZ3o_WkPb_ECw4U2AZBgVfuvIS5l0B8SYzAiXNJHdJir8HwhnrJ9_d3lLDnwzxSAsrvKYXQMUR7qcHvcejkd8OScKZWPjNxUqJhuGLlpxf-xboZEObPJuJ63i0I29rV/s1600/Computer+love.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="202" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOUDM6Xz4w67aweZ3o_WkPb_ECw4U2AZBgVfuvIS5l0B8SYzAiXNJHdJir8HwhnrJ9_d3lLDnwzxSAsrvKYXQMUR7qcHvcejkd8OScKZWPjNxUqJhuGLlpxf-xboZEObPJuJ63i0I29rV/s320/Computer+love.png" /></a></div>(I'm trying out being a bit of a simple artist to help illustrate my blogs. I know I'm not that much of an artist but in the future I hope to get a laugh or two from readers!)<br />
<br />
But in the midst of my hectic life, I have been able to complete my first fanfiction on here. That is right, I have finished Saria's story on blogger and have begun Darunia's chapter. I hope that I will have a better schedule for it and the next chapters in the future, I'm not too fond of my current method of making promises and then failing them completely. I have to apologize again for everything. So what I have decided is to take a small break from updating my stories and work on them at a better pace but continue to blog regularly about progress and whats going on in life and such.<br />
<br />
The next topic, now that I have my plan for the future ready, is that I want to talk about a topic, something news related maybe, or my stand on certain things, and I think I want to chat about the absurdity of the news lately. Remember not too long ago, the Case against Casey? I do feel bad for what happened, both the tragedy of it all, and the verdict that came out of it. I believe (and I'm sure many do too) that Casey should have been punished more for not reporting her daughter missing after a full month. But I'm starting to talk too much about Casey Anthony (I don't need to go on, each new vlog from her gets national headlines) my main topic is the rekindled racial dispute that if you ask me should not have blown up as it did. I'm talking about the Trayvon Martin Case.<br />
<br />
I may not know too much about it, but from what I hear and from other's opinions, it sounds to me like they are trying to reinvent the civil rights movement. I do believe justice should be taken as it would appear that Zimmerman was lying about being attacked and using murder as a defense, but all the hype that has come from it kinda makes a murder and turns it into a revolution, one that has no place, in my opinion, in this day and age. But that's just my opinion, I understand that there are many people deeply offended by this but it seems like an excuse for the news to diverge from the real issues going on in the world today.<br />
<br />
Quickly back to the Casey Anthony Trial, the whole thing became a publicity stunt, a way for people to make money using the lives of real people, including those who are innocent, like Kaylee Anthony. I'm just afraid this will also become an advertising stunt, and not a true way to find justice for whoever is innocent.<br />
<br />
Well this seems to be the end of my spiel, I hope it was at the very least entertaining. (Like my poor attempt at art!)<br />
Before I let you go though, I have a few links I would like for you to check out.<br />
<br />
First one, my girlfriend posted a video on Youtube a few days ago and if you enjoy Mulan 2, Ouran High School (the anime series if you didn't know) or AMV's, I would invite you to check it out. It's actually quite good and she would like that very much.<br />
<br />
And second, my sister has her own blog with which she periodically posts poems. She is quite talented, better than myself in most regards, and if you are in the mood for reading some well written poems, than I would urge you to go ahead and check that out.<br />
<br />
So there you have, one well made AMV you are welcome to view, and a blog of talented writing. Go ahead and check them out!<br />
<br />
Till next time, stay hungry my friends, at least until you're next meal, you don't want to over indulge yourself on snacks and ice cream, then there won't be any room for desert.<br />

And let's not forget to check out my other blogs, links to them can be found all over this page!DayInLifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10391013334775499580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248932014925811347.post-71502346851213555512012-01-19T12:12:00.000-05:002012-01-19T12:12:15.899-05:00Schoooooooolssss Out for Ever! Well not really...In addition to work I have started up my classes again, though they are quite a bit easier this time. Nowadays I work four to five weeks with several hours each day, then come home to a stressful household, and now I have schoolwork to top it all off.<div><br />
</div><div>Math work if that makes it any better.</div><div><br />
</div><div>But on the plus side for it, I have two math classes but only one I have to do now, the other starts in February.</div><div>THANK YOU SANTA!!!!!!</div><div><br />
</div><div>To reduce my ever growing stress level I have decided to make it a strict hobby of mine to find loose change everywhere I go. I now find at least a penny a day either from work, the store, gas station, just anywhere I can get to really. I even found one under on of the freezers at Walmart! only a little bit showed and I pulled it out.</div><div>Lately with it though I have been finding several coins in a day, I found one quarter, two dimes, two nickles, and two pennies at work a few days ago which was quite a nice surprise. I found several pennies the day after that, and yesterday found even more pennies. My little mummy jar is half full now!</div><div><br />
</div><div>I have a jar that I have taped completely with masking tape and that is where I put my change it. I just taped it yesterday!</div><div><br />
</div><div>I finally have a release frame for Abysmal Depths *crowd cheers*. Since I wanted it to be the best book I have on Blogger, I wanted it to be very well written and... how can I say... a better read. I have been writing and will be revising it before its released sometime in the first week of February. I hope readers like you will enjoy it.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Saria's fanfiction hit chapter five not too long ago, and that means only one chapter left for Saria, then at the end of this month, the spotlight switches to Darunia and his story. This is actually exciting for me, I have always been unable to complete a real story I started and soon I will have finished a six chapter fanfiction and begin on the next part. I don't know how long Darunia's will be but I am sure it will be at least six chapters as well.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Pikmin Origins will take a bit longer, I have had too much work to do to focus on it, but I should have it later this week if not today.</div><div><br />
</div><div>So that is about it for the writing section of my post. Not much else has been going on in my life though eventually I will have a post or two about a real life story of mine.</div><div><br />
</div><div>But you will just have to follow or check back often to know when huh?</div><div><br />
</div><div>All right, I might just let you go, but be sure to check back often, you never know what I will have in store.</div><div><br />

Remember the daredevil that climbed to the top of the roof? Well that one hatched and left without saying a word. Yep when we saw the first one hatch, we investigated and saw that one had already left.<br />
Maybe we'll see him one day, just flying around just a bit higher than anyone else.<br />
<br />
Remember these two?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiNH4xqLvanjsffuAbAXG-RE7ZJxnlSeQ4peuhH0wbTiOI5HEEiT8XcfvfPuIbdTeMZVX_HqLQCjxHee927zinCq4Xi_1FHz8Jm0odYcljadwAfVecfuNb_XdtpqkzKlo4O2Z4LDPQTS1r/s1600/PHTO0147.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiNH4xqLvanjsffuAbAXG-RE7ZJxnlSeQ4peuhH0wbTiOI5HEEiT8XcfvfPuIbdTeMZVX_HqLQCjxHee927zinCq4Xi_1FHz8Jm0odYcljadwAfVecfuNb_XdtpqkzKlo4O2Z4LDPQTS1r/s200/PHTO0147.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>They both became cocoons at the same time, and both became butterflies at the same time! Twins! To bad I couldn't get a picture of them as butterflies, but oh well, there is always next time.<br />
<br />
Well that would be about it for this tale of caterpillar turned butterfly, next time I hope to have a page dedicated to them where I am documenting there every move.<br />
<br />
On to the next topic, I have been working more, harder hours than ever before, who knew working in a restaurant in the morning was WAY more difficult that working in the evening. I ended up working two hours longer on Monday (the day AFTER Christmas) than I should have.<br />
<br />
Christmas itself was pretty enjoyable, in the end. I had work, and a few minor annoyances occurred that day, but all in all it was worth it to see my niece open gifts and become completely enthralled in this light up, spinning, bouncing, thing that was annoying to everyone but her and her mother.<br />
Seriously, it was 6 o'clock in the morning, and my niece is wide awake and starts handing the light up spinning, LOUD ball to everyone, expecting us to turn it on. She hands it to me, my girlfriend, and her mom's boyfriend. We all told her no (She's only a year old and when you tell her no, she gives a face that says, "What does that mean?") then she gives it to her mother who begins to push the button, a bit at a time teasing the child who's face lit up with the light and them finally turned it on where the girl grabbed it and ran offf literally shaking from the spinning light up thing.<br />
<br />
It was all death glares to the mom.<br />
<br />
But yeah, that was how Christmas day was spent, waking up early, getting slightly annoyed by a child's toy, and working. Sounds like the time of year huh?<br />
<br />
Well now that the more personal stuff is done, I have a few announcements to make, including a few video I ideas that I want to get to work on soon.<br />
<br />
The first of which is that Saria's fanfiction is almost done, with only two more chapters to go with Darunia's fanfiction coming up in mid January, and the newest chapter for Pikmin Origins in up and ready to be read.<br />
<br />
I have also posted an old book of mine that I originally started out for a fifth grade assignment that I failed. The chapters are broken up to parts that are being published to it's own blog each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If you are interested about it check out the link in the end of this post.<br />
<br />
And now for the video ideas, my girlfriend, my sister, and I have all come up with different video ideas that we think would be quite funny to put online. The first of which is a Jehovah Witness video about the wife of Satan who invite the man in. The next is an animal crossing parody titled "How to live in Animal Crossing" and pokes fun at the more complicated aspects of the games, such as watering plants.<br />
<br />
And I have a Sims 3 video I am trying to get going, that will be about all the ways to die (so far) in the Sims 3.<br />
I hope that one is well liked.<br />
<br />
And I guess that will be it for this post, soon I will be off to work again and probably won't get a chance to post anything new until next year!<br />
<br />
Till then, stay happy and safe for the new year!<br />
<br />

A big comedian on late night tv!<br />
<br />
I actually did want to be a comedian when I was little, I wanted to make people laugh with how absurd something is or something that happened to me in my life. Unfortunatly, I am very, how should I say... quiet. When I was young I was shy, I didn't speak out much and there wasn't much for me to speak about. But now, I can't speak when I want to. It's a strange thing really. When I think of something to say in my mind it becomes more powerful, more accurate. I can actually sometimes write down what the words in my head are saying, words that I wish to say outloud. But when the time comes for me to open my mouth and speak... My voice freezes. I literally can't talk and if I am angry and want to speak it is like someone flipped a switch and turned my anger off. Then, the next day, I bash myself with questions as to why I didn't speak up. I don't like being a mute when I shouldn't be. The voice freezes and the words are lost. In an argument my mind will automatically agree with what the other person is saying if they have at least one good reason in my opinion.<br />
One day this might change, and each day I'm climbing this steep mountain with its tricks and traps. Rocks tumble down to stop me, rain comes down to sweep me off my feet, but in all I am still marching along, still trying to reach the top. I guess that everyone is climbing that same mountain, one that does its best to hinder you along your jouney. So then because we are on this trip together, we should help each other out right?<br />
<br />
It was just a thought that I wanted to elaborate on a bit. Lately I have been running into the same problems I have always had, though, they are getting less and less problemic.<br />
I have had quite a bit of work lately with my job, cleaning dishes, mopping floors that don't want to stay clean at all!, and looking for spare change and saying that that is my tip for the day. Today I found a dime and a penny, that is my tip for a day of five trashcans of trash, three things of spent oil, dishes that kept coming, and silverware that kept getting annoying. The forks kept stabbing my hands and the whole thing was a mess. But in the end I'm ok. And that dime and penny will forever remain as my thank you present.<br />
<br />
I know I am being a bit sporatic in this blog, I just feel like typing something up. Kinda like chronicling my life in this blog so that one day someone would read it and feel a bit happier, either that there is someone like them, or that someone is having an interesting day that amuses the reader. Either way I'm happy with my life as it is, still has a few problems here and there but what life is perfect?<br />
<br />
Last I checked the caterpillars are still in there cocoons and hopefully the random changes in temperature don't harm them. I live in florida, so when it drops down to fifty-five there is a problem for some creatures. <br />
The majority of which are in the human species.<br />
<br />
It would seem I have typed up a good amount today, nothing really interesting I have heard yet on the news or anything, but hopefully next time there can be a news story I could review!<br />
<br />
Happy Christmas! (Harry Potter nerd)<br />
-Roger<br />
<br />
I say happy Christmas sometimes because of Harry Potter, remember the first movie Harry awakens and Ron says "Happy Christmas!" Yeah that is why I say it.DayInLifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10391013334775499580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248932014925811347.post-71905735104567124192011-12-18T01:50:00.000-05:002011-12-18T01:50:27.535-05:00New better way to blog... At least for me.Sorry for not updating my blog recently, been busy with work and also working on my other blogs such as my new writing called the Soldier and the Maiden, and the new chapter to Saria's fanfiction. Both blogs have been remodeled and Saria has her own blog now, in fact, each sage will have their own blog with each one linking to the next.<br />
<br />
Now on to the blog post and the new style I will be doing for as long as I can. From now one my posts will be divided up to different sub posts so to speak, this meaning I will briefly blog about a few different topics in a single post ranging from my personal life, any videos I plan on working on, new writing, a news topic maybe, and some view or idea I support or not support.<br />
<br />
So it pretty much would be like this:<br />
<br />
1. Personal life<br />
2.Any projects working on or updated (this may be more informative in my twitter than on my post)<br />
3.An interesting news topic (local, national, or international)<br />
4.An idea of mine<br />
<br />
And any other subjects I wish to discuss when I start to blog, such as this:<br />
<br />
My caterpillar chronicles!!!!<br />
Well... I wished I could have done that...<br />

Well... the last time I looked I could not find any caterpillars... alive at least... I found a few dead ones that had tried to change. But in my search I found this one hanging from the corner of the roof.<br />

EDITNo, it does not mean that we can just get together and... do things... like leap frog... or red rover...<br />
I think it means its the middle of the week and so that makes it Wednesday!<br />
<br />
This is an actual blog! I know right? It's like soooo weird that I'm like actually working on a blog and not an apology right?<br />
<br />
Yep, I'm a guy and I can type like a valley girl.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I am very pleased to announce that I have finally set up a schedule for my blogs and various writing and I am VERY pleased to announce the already success of my fanfictions Pikmin Origins and The Collected Story of the Sages (Which I might rename soon because I have a hard time saying that name)! Yep, its thanks to readers here on blogger, on the web, and on fanfiction (and maybe even facebook or Gaiaonline) that I have some good reviews of them.<br />
<br />
As for the schedule, I have new writings coming up on Written Works on Sunday/Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays with special ones appearing from time to time on Saturday. My fanfictions will be posted every Sunday in the morning, that is already in place, and every monday (for sure starting this next week) will be a new chapter for Abysmal Depths (sorry for putting it off). One Big announcement is The Life of a Spy will be returning to weekly updates on Fridays starting next week (Friday October 21). Yay!!!!<br />
<br />
EDIT: All of my stories will be up tomorrow on October 25th, 2011 by the end of the day. Sorry... And that's the apology I tried to avoid!<br />
<br />
I have also added a calender to this blog to help you know when the next chapters are coming out.<br />
<br />
And if you haven't noticed I also added a donation bit, you don't have to click it if you don't want to, I just put it there to see what would happen. If nothing happens I will probably take it down. Again, no pressure to donate to me.<br />
<br />
On the topic of money, no, I'm not asking for freebies, but I am asking for you to check out my ebay listings, I have five baby quilts that my mother made that will be expiring in the next few days. If you are interested in them just follow the link:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/190584748290?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1226">http://www.ebay.com/itm/190584748290?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1226</a><br />
<br />
And I guess that's about it, I will also try just blogging from time to time to just freshen up this blog, you know, keep the cobwebs out. That means no more apologizes, (Thank you!) and more meaning full posts.<br />
<br />
Like what I'm eating... as if you're interested in that.<br />
<br />
So then as always, check out my other blogs and if you already have, check them out again. I update on twitter now and if you are interest in following just click on twitter follow button under the twitter updates, or just find me at RogerCascaden on twitter.<br />
<br />
Thanks again,<br />

I've been lazy... I have been working on all my stories but I have not uploaded any text at all... I can't say I will always be up to date with posting but I have a busy life, taking my girlfriend to school, going to school myself, working and getting more hours... I haven't had much time to sit down and type up my stories. As a result, I have not been able to keep up with the dates I have made before. This time however, I do have set dates that I WILL keep up with, such as:<br />
Saria's first chapter, both on fanfiction and here on blogger, will be up this next Sunday.<br />
Curse of the Sea has been rocky for a while now, not much progress has been made unfortunately... there is not a given date for the next chapters.<br />
Pikmin Origins: another fanfiction I am working on, will be available on October 9th, that date is certain, by then I will have all of Saria's story done, and I can work on it more.<br />
Abysmal Depths has been very slow to start up, I hope it will be available on October 10th after Pikmin.<br />
The Life of a Spy will be this Friday, not much more to say about that.<br />
And I will be posting new passages to books I am working on, and short stories and poems I make off and on from now on.<br />
<br />
I hope this set schedule helps, I have then almost ready... just need to work more on them...<br />
<br />
Well then, that's about it for the update... I again, am very sorry for my lack of work on these stories, but I am hopeful for the future!<br />
<br />
have a great day everyone!<br />

<br />
Sorry I have been pretty much just letting everything slip but I have been busy with work as well as just plain lazy. This past weekend I went to Anime Festival of Orlando which was really fun. Except for getting stung by a bee and nearly passing out while driving home. But enough about nearly dying a few times, (the bee sting wasn't too serious but I'm just glad it was only one, not two like it could have been. There were more than one bee out at that time.) I'm here to say that from now on I will try much harder to get chapters up on all my blog stories and add new writings to keep everyone entertained!<br />
<br />
Every Monday I will post a new chapter for my new story Abysmal Depths. Each Friday I will share the next chapter of Life of a Spy, and on Saturday both Hollie and I will post the next journal entries of The Curse of the Sea.<br />
<br />
I'm very excited to share this news, and I hope to stick with it for many months, even years!<br />
<br />
Now on to the best part of this blog. My girlfriend and I have become working on a manga that we plan on posting online then selling in the future. It is called White Lillies and is a romance fantasy about a peasant boy, his little sister and a noble woman. The peasant boy and the noble woman fall in love but because of strict class rules they are forbidden.<br />
<br />
If you want to see the cover page for this manga and check on each update follow this link:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://whitelillies.smackjeeves.com/comics/1272628/vol-1-cover/">White Lillies</a><br />
<br />
This is a cool project I am enjoying working on with Hollie and keep up with this blog for blurts and posts regarding White Lillies and any new manga we decide to work on as well as upcoming stories and news about myself and my work.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />
Happy reading!<br />
<br />

Hollie, my brother, my sister, and a bit myself are kinda... sick. And bad too, no for me right now but at work I was nauseous and ran to the restroom a few times.<br />
Hopefully, Hollie will be well enough to work on The Curse of the Sea tonight, if not we will have it up tomorrow if she is better. Right now she can't move much otherwise she gets nauseous.<br />
As for me, I will be working on some new posts and, as long as I don't get as sick as her, I will have those up later today.<br />
<br />
I finally have a name a plot for my new blog book.<br />
<br />
It is going to be called Abysmal Depths and it will consist of about five chapters give or take. The basic plot is a small group of spelunkers are exploring a cave system in the Montana region when they stumble upon an entire civilization living under ground that originated in the Virginia colony that vanished in the 1700s. This race is living in a world that is more technologically advanced than our own, with advancements in all areas of science. Have the young spelunkers found paradise? Or have they fallen into a dark nightmare, were things are more dangerous than they appear?<br />
<br />
I will have the first chapter and a new blog for it posted on Monday and each Monday after will be a new chapter. Be sure to check it out!<br />
<br />

We WILL have them up on Saturday. I was able to put up the next chapter of The Life of A Spy only because it only has one author and I already had it all written out so all I had to do was copy and paste it to blogger. Yep, so that is the reason why we have no posted them yet.<br />
<br />
Anyway, in other news my brother has started up a blog, one where he is reviewing popular youtube videos and quite frankly, he is doing better than I am really. But hey, that's great for him. This blog of mine will do fine on its own and I know one day this blog may just save my life.<br />
<br />
His blog: <a href="http://viralvideoreviewing.blogspot.com/">http://viralvideoreviewing.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
Because in the future, blogs will be humanoid robots who, when I start to choke on a piece of shrimp (because of love shrimp) it will come to my rescue, saving my life just like I stated here!<br />
<br />
Well, anyway its time to put up some announcements.<br />
First off I will be posting the depressing Christmas story up shortly after this.<br />
Second, I will be posting a new passage about a father who's daughter is about to be married and he is reflecting on their life together.<br />
Third, I will be started on a new blog story. I am not exactly sure which story idea I will work on, but I assure you it will be a good one!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I've kept you up too long so get to bed... unless it's daytime for you, in which case check out my other blogs!<br />

Truth is, the only thing I have actually going right as far as the future goes is this here blog.<br />
<br />
It makes me feel happy to see a new view, and even more to read a comment or discover a new follower.<br />
<br />
Course... I'm not very popular in real life and it shows on blogger, but hey, I did this to express my writing and just to get some stress out.<br />
<br />
My girlfriend and I are working on The Curse of the Sea, a two journal book given in the points of view of my character Robert and her character Sophia. It's turning out pretty well and we will both be releasing new chapters every Saturday.<br />
<br />
I also have my own blog book that I am working on, The Life of a Spy. I will be putting up a new chapter every Friday so be sure to follow it.<br />
<br />
Now I am off to bed and you can find both on my profile.<br />

(sorry!) Ah. well... At least I have a new blog put up about little writings I have. It's at:<br />
<div><br />
</div><div><a href="http://rogercascadenwriting.blogspot.com/">http://rogercascadenwriting.blogspot.com/</a></div><div><br />
</div><div>It's the start to my dream I posted in my first blogger post.</div><div>I would enjoy the views that people give them but I don't mind if they just sit in cyber limbo...</div><div><br />
</div><div>Anyway, not too much has happened since my last post. I got a new job at the same restaurant that both my mother and grandmother work at. And my school ended and my online classes began.</div><div><br />
</div><div>That's about it really.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I guess I'll finish this post up with a head's up for the next short stories that I will be posting in my Written Works blog.</div><div><br />
</div><div>One will be about an old man with a secret that makes you wonder if he is good or evil, a funny short about a aliens, and a depressing story about how Christmas day for the type that believes they don't deserve anything.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Oh, and I will make a new blog for blog story The Life of A Spy later this week and add chapter one and then chapter two to it.</div><div><br />
</div><div>So I guess that's the best update I can give at the moment, make sure to follow and leave a comment!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Till next time, have fun!</div><div><br />

Yep, the big one-nine. Doesn't let me do much, still can't drink or anything but hey! The big one-nine!<br />
Anyway, I wanted to go to dinner and a movie with my girlfriend, it actually was quite pleasant. Better than previous years, especially when you count in the fact I actually hate my birthday.<br />
Don't ask for the long, tear-jerking, kids-choice award winning story that behind it.<br />
I actually don't really know it. Guess I'm just a pessimist.<br />
Any who, my mother was going to take my siblings to the library where my grandmother worked, and she had the only car. Almost puts a damper on the plans for the evening.<br />
Luckly, the Chinese buffet was on the same street. Yes!<br />
So we all piled in the car and headed to the library where my girlfriend and I wondered around for a bit looking at Greek mythology books to check out. She is working a play as well on a book about the Greek Goddess Titan Asteria and the Isle of Delos.<br />
We're looking at the books and just to have fate point at me on a day I don't particularly like, a book labeled "The birthdays of Saints" appears on the shelf. Like fate was giving me a birthday welcome.<br />
So we checked out our books and left in the van. (my mother and sibling got a ride from my grandmother)<br />
When we got to the chineses buffet another mark of fate sounded in the building.<br />
The ending of "Happy Birthday" was sung just as we entered and everyone began clapping. It didn't register at first and it wasn't until I tripped over the table and almost brought it down with me did my girlfriend say that it was happy birthday they were singing.<br />
And if those two signs weren't clear enough we had a third one appear on the little truck we parked next to in the movie theater parking lot. On the pink (Yes PINK) truck, someone had carved the words "Happy B-day!"<br />
Why would fate tell me happy birthday through a book title, a "Happy birthday" song in a Chinese buffet, or a pink mini truck? I have no idea.<br />
But I look back at it and laugh.<br />
And it makes me think about what will happen on my next birthday...DayInLifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10391013334775499580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248932014925811347.post-48495331830351586152011-03-26T22:57:00.001-04:002011-05-22T19:46:34.066-04:00And so I said to the caterpillar...The weeks been pretty simple. Next week isn't going to be though...<br />
Spring break...<br />
I'm not a heat person, anything over 60 degrees is a bit too much for me and I live in The Sunshine State Florida...<br />
Great... At least there are supposed to be rain showers...<br />
I forgot to add another link to my last post, a youtube channel that my girlfriend and I have made to put up funny skits and other videos. It's called TheOneSunOneMoon.<br />
<br />
TheOneSunOneMoon: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TheOneSunOneMoon">http://www.youtube.com/user/TheOneSunOneMoon</a><br />
<br />
Just like the last two channels I would appreciate it if you were to subscribe to this as well.<br />
We have a ton of ideas, several scripts written out, now we just need to get it on film and edited on the computer.<br />
I know this is pretty short but what can i say? Not much has happened.<br />
Except for my old science teacher slapping a student for kissing in the hall and the media completely blowing it out of proportion.<br />
I personally think he shouldn't be in as much trouble as he is in, it wasn't like he beat her or anything.<br />
Well on that note I leave you to your everyday activities what ever they may be.<br />
<br />
P.S. My girlfriend also has a blogger and I encourage you to check it out and she has her own art website which would also be a great idea to check out.<br />

It's all free to do so I did it. The Youtube account I have is called TheCrazyPeep, a youtube channel I made to show off my little videos I did more than a year ago. If you want to see some badly animated, crudely drawn and poorly captured photos coupled with bad voices and even worse plot lines then I encourage you to check it out.<br />
<br />
TheCrazyPeep: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TheCrazypeep?feature=mhum">http://www.youtube.com/user/TheCrazypeep?feature=mhum</a><br />
<br />
But before I had TheCrazyPeep I had an old Youtube channel, one that I had forgotten the name to as well as the password and had just let it sit in virtual limbo. Well I finally dragged that thing though the passages of time (about 2 years, or 3 or 4 thousand in computer years), dusted it off, gave it a new name and a new purpose.<br />
This channel, thus given the name of AccentWriter, would be something I will do involving my writing, mostly my darker or more mysterious writing. I will, for at least the first few videos, be reading my page to 2 page thoughts and stories as I hear them in my head. Whenever I put a new on up I will make a blog about it and give it a bit of back story, you know, where I was when I wrote it, what I think it means... blah blah blah. Just something for me to do in the hopes of entertaining some poor rich kid with a pony as a butler or a rabbit as the chorus in an old Greek play...<br />
<br />

And by doesn't make sense i mean spelling errors, grammar errors, etc, etc.<br />
I'll try not to be boring with my blogs, I hope to have at least one new blog each week, most likely on a Saturday or a Tuesday. Just because.<br />
With that introduction I might as well provide a bit of back story.<br />
I am a global hero, fire proof, can eat metal, fly at moderately impressive speeds (especially when there are no cops around :)) (hah! the smiley is double chinned), a great body, a superior intellect, and a massively huge...<br />
ego!<br />
Ok, that was all lies but I am a writer, a writer who hopes one day to see a book on a shelf (even on the worst books ever shelf).<br />
And when that day comes when I finally walk into Books-A-Million and march my way down the aisles to find a book that I had written waiting for a person to purchase it, I will shed a single tear pick up the hard-backed copy of my own creation, go to the check out lady (or man) and have the following conversation:<br />
Lady(man): Will that be all sir?<br />
Me: Why yes it would.<br />
Lady(man): <i>Scans with cool scanner gun</i>. Do you have a Millionaire's Club Card?<br />
Me: Why yes I do. You by chance wouldn't be familiar with the book I wish to purchase would you?<br />
Lady(man): Not too much, I heard about it on (insert popular television network) and they said it was (good/bad/eh).<br />
Me: Do you by chance know the author's name?<br />
Lady(man): Let me see...<br />
And as s/he reads the author's name I shall squeal with joy and flash my driver's license and shout:<br />
"THAT BOOK WAS WRITTEN BY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"<br />
Now of course I know it's kinda redundant to buy a book you wrote yourself, but hey, I know I will be proud to have done it.DayInLifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10391013334775499580noreply@blogger.com2
