Inner Peace

Hay there all... how was your days today?
Mine? Cold, but at least the sun was out and the wind has stopped, seriously, worst couple of days with the wind kicking up, and tearing down everything that it felt like, power went out of an hour or two the other day, but that wasn’t as bad as further up the mountains, and being that it’s been like 0 degrees during the day here, and drops chronically when it’s dark, no power would have sucked for all that had it. me and my house were alright though it was still cold (even with the fire on) and the telly decided it wasn’t going to give great reception so we were stuck on analogue which only gave us the main four channels, that sucked. But like I said, at least we still had power.
But so not the reason I’m writing today.

Anywho... it’s school holidays, two weeks of my son not going to preschool (though next week there isn’t even family daycares, so I’ve got them all day every day! yeah, can’t wait! She says sarcastically). But today it was just me and my son, so like all times when it’s just us, we went to the movies (much easier to pay for the two tickets than only one).
  So we went and saw Kung Fu Panda 2, which wasn’t all that bad, and I must say the only movie that I like Jack Black in (can’t stand him otherwise).
  And so it was like all other movies, kids or otherwise—there’s a bad guy, he has a crappy past, then wants to take over the world, and like always the good concur over evil. yadda yadda, it’s more about the lines and the characters than to actual plot that you go and see these movies for. Really like why you read books, and all that. It’s really all the same crap just said differently. And like if you were a fan of the first one, than the second one wouldn’t be all that bad to read. More like the next step.
  Which, funny enough, is why I’m writing this
  So the Panda’s storyline—you know, other than win—was to find his inner peace, you know the thing that lets you become one with the world. But is that really true? Is inner peace something that helps us connect to the world? I know that it’s defiantly about finding out who you are and being good with that. Loving who you are and all that crap, but then what? how do you know that you have inner peace, and is it something that comes from struggles, from hardships? But I don’t really think so, ‘cause why do you have to go through something like that in order to find yourself, to be happy with yourself.
   Is it when you can think about who you are and wish nothing about you needs changing? If that was the case, than I’m there, it’s not that I don’t have down times, but there isn’t anything on by body that I would truly change. Yeah there are times when I think... ‘I wish my boobs where were they were before,’ but I don’t practically want to change them, it’s not like a good bra can’t lift them up.
  Is it about you mind? About the person you are? The personality you have? ‘cause I’ll say again, I like who I am, my mind, I like the fact that I will say anything on my mind, to anyone around me. I like my bitch. Hell, I like the fact that I hold grudges, that I hate with passion. that I laugh at anything, ‘cause laughing at something not even a two year old would find funny is who I am, it’s something I’ve always been. Like really, I like the fact that I wear my emotions on my sleeves, but my history, the things that are truly me never really come out.
  I like who I am. I like that fact that I’m a Gemini when no one else around me likes them, and I fight anyone that says something bad about how we change moods too quickly. Hell, doesn’t every woman. But I understand what they are truly saying, I just like conflict and misunderstanding people lets you have small amounts of it. Also being passionate about a point you know is wrong, and the other wants you to know it with a passion as high as yours, fun!.
  So have I found my inner peace, I’m happy living, though I haven’t truly found out what I am in the world. I’m okay with what I have, and I’m moving to get what I want.
  Like I don’t really believe that I have it, not in any way, there are way too much about me that isn’t perfect, and then again, maybe for me it is.
  But I like who I am, even if others around thinks it’s not a great way to live, that I shouldn’t... yeah, there are lots of things about me that others would change. Like I care, really, why can’t they just like me for me? I am not Mother Teresa not will I ever be, hell I don’t want to be. Why would anyone? Perfections in the eyes of those around us that want a world that has never been and never will be perfect. Selfishness, greed, jealousy are what they are, and if everyone was the same, what kind of world would we live in?
  A boring one, that’s what it would be. There would be nothing but a day to day of the same thing with the same people at the same time, and place, we would be less than animals in a sense of going on with our business. But how it is now, there are interesting things around us; you aren’t sure what’s going to happen with anyone you know. There’s worry yeah, and tragedy but there’s also adventure and passion.
  And there’s always something new.

One last thing. I also got two new books today, though it’s not that... nah, when I read them I’ll do a review, like I will with all the books that I mention in any blog that I write. I’m always reading something different, and yet it’s still the same. And at least that way, you guys can have something new to read. You can know what I like, the books, and all that and I’m sure eventually you will have all of them in this for you to see (just search reviews and there they’ll be).
  Anyway so one book is from a series I have been slowly reading it’s No Rest for the Wicked by Kresley Cole, it’s from her Immortal After Dark series, and an Adults novel—hell they both are. The second in Fever by Christine Feehan, it’s a novella and her first book in one. So I’ll most likely read them in the next week or so and have them for you soon.

Thanks for your time; it actually means a lot to me. Until next time, keep living and dreaming.

Book Reviewing

This post is all about telling you how I'm going to be reviewing my books, 'cause it's what you need to know, maybe, maybe not. but I'll tell you anyway. 

So.. it's a easy process really, I'll get a pic of the book, so you can see what it is (mostly the pic will show the cover of what I'm looking at in the flesh, if not than it will be the first cover the book was published in)
    then comes the important info. though I'll tell you know, if it's wring you will have to tell me, cause I'm going off the info I can find and what I think along with the book in hand, and since I'm Australian I get a few of the book like months later, especially if they aren't popular yet. but I try my best to get it all right, if not there will always be a '?' so that you will know it's my thoughts not the truth. 

Next is the summary/synopsis which is what's written on the back of the book, or if there isn't all that much infor and I now there is on the hardback then I will look up the long summary too for you. its clearly marked so you know they aren't what I'm reading, or where it's coming from. 

Then the review. 
   I review things off the heart, strait out of reading it the first time and I wont tell you what in the book, the page to page shit, the plot and twists, or any of that I actually hate that about some reviews, ecpecally if the summary had enough information in it to tell you what's actually going on. sometimes I find that it doesn't and in those part I will tell you, but again you will know why I'm telling. or if, say the book bored the crap out of me because of the plot or anything really, but it's written in a way that I hope you will understand.
    I will review everything I read even if I don't like it, but I will spin it in a way that isn't bagging the book, I hate people that do that, but more I will tell you why I didn't like the book, why I though that and who I believe will like the book I haven't, because I feel its important to know what everyones veiws before you decided if you want the book or not.
    I will also have been reviewing my books for awhile though no one but me has seen them, and so when I put on up that I read a while back it will be clearly labled that this is what it is. and that

Last is what else is in the series, the ones that is coming up next (the next to be published) and whats before this in the series and what's after. I will also - if it's important, or noteworthy - tell you what other series/books the author has out so that you can look them up. 

Anyway it's basic and I know that, there isn't anything in my reviews that isn't in others, since I took all my thoughts and ideas off there reviews to make mine better.

Also when I feel as if a book needs it I will have my favourite lines in it. this will most likely only happen with the romaances because... well, they have the best one liners in it. ones that squeeze your heart even if you haven't read the book. I give them to you because I think not only is the line a great one, but it also shows you guys what I like in a book, and so maybe if your the same the reviews will become something more...

so that's what my reviews will be like, it's not that hard if you have a look you've got the concept. but it's here are a look in my brain while I'm reviewing and maybe it will help with you enjoyment of reading them.
