On Your Own Ladies

Sorry Ladies. I talked to your man. He said you're on your own for Valentines

Sadly this is totally true. Not even a little bit in jest.

Just before Christmas there was a really good sale for Origami Owl, the best customized locket system you can get. It was an amazing deal, actually a bit better than a BOGO offer. I messaged 40 of my own personal friends on Facebook who I knew had wives, daughters, and moms, and suggested that they take advantage of the great offer, thinking that I was doing them a favor. I know my wife loves last minute bling gifts. That's saved the day a number of times in my past.

What did I get in return?

Every single reply was something like this:

"My wife doesn't even like or wear jewelry, so don't bother me."

Unfortunately, I have met many of their wives, and know that to be untrue. Be that as it may, women, it's up to you. This level of denial and disdain has given you the freedom to do as you wish. Get yourself one of the most beautiful and meaningful gifts this year.

If you buy from THIS LINK I'll even send you a free mountaineering or fitness paperback, you know, to pay him back for his kind generosity. Even the score a bit.

By January 15, minimum $75 purchase to a USA address, and books from this list:

Carstensz, Stone Age to Iron Age
Elbrus Race 2013
Summit Success: Training for Hiking, Mountaineering, and Peak Bagging
My Sweet Infected
Finding Time to Train

If you don't want the book, I'll send you a 2 free charms of your choice. Some are in stock here, some I have to order in and might take a couple weeks. Let me know!

Every Book Holds a Little World Inside

When I'm in full on writing mode, I can crank out up to 10,000 words a day.That's not normal though. I try to set a goal of getting in 2,000 words a day, like the old Stephen King writing advice states. “I like to get ten pages a day, which amounts to 2,000 words." Stephen King Goodreads I got quite a few books written in a short time span last fall, then settled down into normal daily life. The intensity required to write a book like "My Sweet Infected" was unexpectedly devastating. I became my protagonist in so many ways as she crept into my psyche and took over for me as I channeled her every thought as I created the story of her awakening. Read the book if you want to know more about this ruined world with humans on the brink of extinction. Find the clues, sort through the chaos, and realize the end is inevitable. The little world inside this book is doomed. Check it out, get the free sample for your Kindle - On Amazon My Sweet Infected (My Inf...

Review: The 10 Biggest #Workout Mistakes

The 10 Biggest Workout Mistakes: Are one of these mistakes slowing your progress? by Dr. Len Lopez My rating: 3 of 5 stars So/So. Average. 3. yep. If you took a handful of bullet points, wrapped them in repetitive catch-phrases, and added in some links to your other projects, you'd have this book. Would it be at all helpful to anyone? Yes, if you are needing to do actual aerobic exercise and need to be smacked in the face with it over and over and over until it works finally - this might be the book that does that. If you're trying to get in shape or achieve some specific level of fitness, then no. View all my reviews

Revenge Of The Cat Woman: A Short Story Set in Old Japan [#short #horror]

Revenge Of The Cat Woman: A Short Story Set in Old Japan by Yael Eylat-Tanaka My rating: 3 of 5 stars I'm not certain what happened here. It was pretty short, and not much happened aside from depressing cultural attitudes and events that were pretty much historically correct. No one here was particularly easy to empathize with. The "Cat Woman" was pretty passive. The Cat was pretty passive. The antagonist was stated to be aggressive. It ended in a "he got his" way, but it was still unsatisfying. The ghost was merely a suggestion, perhaps a shadow of guilt. It was free, took only a few minutes to read, and was probably worth both the money and time. View all my reviews
