From a Reader Not a Writer

If any of you happen upon my little corner of inter-space and if you happen to look through myspace page or my twitter's you will notice that I have written on several occasions that i am not a writer.
You may have this thought.."If this guy isn't a writer then why the hell is he writing and blogging so much."
The main reason for my writing and blogging is because at time's I think i have some good ideas, and i would like to share them with people even though most of my ideas aren't about business or any kind of enterprise they are just ideas i have about strange and irrelevant things.
It's also a good way for me to practice typing which as you can see isn't very good either.
I figure I'll post stuff if someone happens to like what i write maybe they can expand on it and use it.
If they do maybe they'll give me some props for it, if they don't then all just as well.

Movie's andTechnology

After reading the news about "Spiderman 4" coming in 2011,it sent my inner child into a hopeful frenzy.
It made me realise that now more than in any previous year movie making technology has caught up with the story tellers,to such an extent that any studio with a reasonable post production facility can bring to life any comic,sci-fi or fantasy novel/novella to life.
Even art work can be turned in to scripts and shot as a live action piece for a t.v. show or anything that a creative mind can create from any one of a numerous sources.

poems can be written in to film or video , that no one would dare to do even 7 to 10 years ago,Haiku,prose and verse can all be translated into film/video no matter how extreme the surroundings or enviorment the poem might be cause... it can be created now!
Combinations of computer animation, live action, digital photography and editing can create the inner minds wildest most fanciful images and sounds.
Giving the long dead ghosts of writers and actors, stage performers,a very real voice in the modern age.
My most fondest hope is that Marvel and D.C. will continue to unlock their storage vaults for old and new hero's,bring them too life.
complete with their philosophical and social view points from the time they were created in and adding the new to coincide with them.
What a great era we live in for the story tellers!

Earth,Chaos,Destruction..?

Carl Sagan pointed out in the series "Cosmos" that we are the only species on our planet capable of totally annihilating ourselves from the face of the planet.
So here we are closer to a date that according to a Mayan calender puts us closer to the destruction of life as we know it.
Whether or not that destruction is going to come from a divine source or if it comes from the abuse of planetary resources and waste,or from some political regime in the form of a weapon of mass destruction is any ones guess.
Then we have our own independent forms of destruction, greed , fear, jealousy,rage that allow people to believe that to solve these problems they must kill.
That is in itself the true down fall of humanity.
We are destined to destroy ourselves as long as this remain the prevailing means to solve problems whether real or imagined.
According to biblical scripture two brothers were the first to kill for feelings of jealousy, does this mean that we are all too succumb to the same feelings as well and commit the crime of murder?.
Does this mean that it is a natural occurrence with in our species and to be expected?.
Their are people who would love to hasten the end of the world/civilization as we know it,because they believe that this is the only answer.
Maybe it will be as the science fiction writers have written about for a long time that it will take near total destruction of the planet before we get it right within ourselves to see that killing is not a solution to anything.
I do believe that this is what it is gonna take for us too get our act together as a species,because we refuse to listen to one another because of our racial,ideological and religious differences especially those religions that say too their followers that they are the only ones who will live.
Until that time i think it is incumbent upon us all to live the best that we can, try to spread as much compassion as we can,that means not only compassion for people but for the planet we live on.
Their are too many people with power who like the status quo and would love nothing better than to make the rest of us believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong and that we should go on about our business as usual, so that they can continue to have wealth and power the way it is.
Until those people who represent industry realise that we are polluting the planet on a massive scale things on the planet will continue to worsen.
I don't know that it means complete abolishment of all the things that we have created in so much as we have to step up the management of those things.
Myself included that I have grown accustomed to having these things in my life as much as anybody else.
There are alternatives and we know it, if only greed wasn't so intertwined in industry so that they would start really trying to change.
Is the earth gonna be destroyed anytime soon?, i don't know but that it will happen I think is probably so, and it wont be from any divine source..It will be because of us.

(this blog is very disjointed not very linear or concise..so i hope you can read through it anyway)

First Time Blogger!

Well at least here on Blogger.com.
I am hoping to use this site in conjunction with another social web site in order to convey ideas that I have from time too time.
Although I am not looking for any real accolades or monetary gain it would be nice to get a little perk for an idea or a thought that I write,that maybe somebody can use.
Mostly my ideas are here so that maybe someone can take them and make something of them,as i don't have the talent or connections to make any of them work but I like to think that,I have some good ones from time to time.
Just thrilled if someone can make them take flight.
Sometimes I imbibe a bit of alcohol and it can me make very melancholy,so there might be a few of those moments blogged here as well.
Also I want to explain that I am very idealistic somewhat rather simple in my views and more than likely will sound incredibly insipid and inane,trust that when I say that I am not a complete ninny... I am in earnest!
It might take a great deal to change my views on something might even be a bit stubborn, however I realise that learning is what I have a lot of to do!
