A few quotes I love

Hello all! Here are some of my most favorite quotes. Enjoy!

"The gulf's enchanted, where the Sirens sing--- and coral reeds lie bare, where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair." (I do not know who wrote this, sorry.).

"Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves." ~Abbe` Dimnet

"What i like best is a book that's at least funny once in a while... what really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though." ~J.D. Salinger

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts as for that subtle something that quality of air that emanation for old trees that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit." ~Robert Louis Stevenson

"Thank goodness I was never sent to school it would have rubbed me of some of my originality."~Beatrix Potter

"It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind; but when a beginning is made -- when the felicities of rapid motion have one been, though slightly, felt -- it mist be a very heavy set that does not ask for more" ~Jane Austen

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me." ~C.S. Lewis

Got milk? series two, part two

No need for sugar or tea

A gentlemen always takes some time for leisure, even in the middle of a war. So what better was to spice up your tea time then with 3 servings of dairy a day? Studies suggest the nutrients can help you maintain a healthy weight, plus the protein helps build muscle for a lean body. I don't have a bad feeling about this, why would you?

Drink well. Live well.

Cloud Warriors

Here is a short story I wrote in November. I was on vacation and I had just got a new digital camera. So I was taking a bunch of photos. I had taken the photo and the story was inspired by it. I am hoping to do some drawings to go with this. Enjoy!

Have you ever looked at the clouds and tried to see what shapes you could find? Well what you may not know is that some of the clouds in the sky are really ships.

In the Beginning of the world, after what is known at the Great Betrayal The Mighty One felt that the sky must be protected from the enemy who craved to take control of all life on Earth. So He selected a man and woman who was brave and strong in spirit to become the first air warriors. They founded the Cloud Warriors, a advanced race who flew in ships covered in clouds and created amazing technology and weapons.

Their ships appear to be mere clouds but if you where to really see them up close you would find a whole ship, amazing vehicles complete with guns, force shields and living quarters. Young CW are trained in aerial combat, weaponry, science, literature, including the Word of The Mighty One, and knowledge of life on Earth.

These humans have never lived on Earth, only visiting it on their missions. Angels help the CW in their fight, wearing white robes and silver high-tech armor. Where their armor comes from or what it's made of only a few know.

The angels and CW fight against the Clouds of Darkness (COD), a army of the Enemy. The Prince of Darkness stole the souls of humans twisted and broke them to be his dark warriors. When you see dark brooding clouds you are looking at the enemy of the sky.

CW and COD are always fighting for control of the Earth's atmosphere and the human soul. You know what thunder and lightning storms are like. They, in truth, are fierce, intense sky battles. Armed with the latest in ASG (Atomic Space Gear) the CW are always on alert, keeping the sky free from the COD's grasp.

So if you ever look at the clouds on a sunny day, think of the brave Cloud Warriors fighting to keep you safe.

In honor of National Writing Month Michelle is doing interviews with writers on her blog. She has kindly asked me to do a interview with her. You can find the interview here.

The Clone Wars DVD review with Chris and Edward

Hello friends! I just got The Clone Wars season one DVD set. Chris and Edward were so excited to get it they insisted on doing a review of it. So take over guys!

Hey! This is Chris!

And this is Edward.

So here we go with our review of The Clone Wars season one.

So to start the set comes with four DVD's containing 22 episodes.

And a 68-page production journal with original sketches and artist notes.

It would have been nice if the booklet came out, but it is attached to the box.

That is true. But it's cool to see the artwork, most of it has never seen before.

Some of my favorite episodes are Destroy Malevolence, Dooku Captured and Innocents of Ryloth.

My favorites is Rookies, The Gungan General and The Hidden Enemy. The most shocking episode in my opinion is Hostage Crisis. Cad Bane is a very tricky bounty hunter.

Here are even hidden easter eggs on the featurettes menu. Here is a example.

Make sure you are at the top of the page and click the left arrow twice. A small area to the left should light up. Then click enter.

There are commercials for Star Wars things, like the website and season two.

Look! It's you!

There is a feturettes for every episode. They are great info about each episode.

It's funny, I don't like behind-the-scene stuff. I just like to enjoy the movie.

He's kinda weird that way.

Thanks!

We can't wait for season two to come out. Of what we have seen so far it is so awesome!

I have been very happy with the way both seasons have been going.

OOOHHH! Shiny!

Agreed.

Overall we are very content with season one.

It has been so much fun to watch!

Well, thanks for letting us share out thoughts with you all.

It has been a pleasure. Take care and May the Force be with you!

Very funny. Chris.

*Snicker!*

Thanks guys! That was fun to read! Have a great week everyone.

Got milk? Part four

Being small is not bad

All my life I have wanted to be a pod racer. My mom says that having at least 3 servings of dairy a day will help me be a better racer. Studies suggest the nutrients can help you maintain a healthy weight, plus the protein helps build muscle for a lean body. Maybe there would be more human pod racers if we drank more milk. Or maybe I am just special.

Drink well. Live well.
