Blogger's new comment verification, the new one, put on all of our blogs without our knowledge, the one designed to figure out who is a robot and who is a real person, is very difficult to make work. It is so difficult and annoying it has me questioning whether I am a real person or whether I actually am a robot.
I can't handle such a metaphysical line of thought when I am blogging, so I am urging all bloggers to do yourselves and your readers (and this sad robot) a favor and turn off your comment word verification.
I'll bet most of you didn't even know you had it on your blog. I didn't know. Try leaving yourself a comment and see whether or not it comes up. Blogger should be a free and easy conversation among like-minded individuals, not a hassle where you have to prove who you are all the time and end up questioning your very existance. That's what dealing with government offices is for.
How do you do it? Well head on over to J. A. Bennet's blog and he will tell you how.
I've been here and there. I've drawn a lot of pictures. I've written a bit, too. I'm not good at this self-promotion thing. Look, you want to know about me? just visit these websites. Okay?

Despite this day`s legendary genesis, the only winners, it seems to me, are the greeting card companies and the chocolate manufacturers.
My question is this: Why do we need to set aside one day and one day only to tell our loved ones that we love them? In an average lifespan, why is it that you can only give someone flowers, cards or chocolates seventy-five or eighty times?
If you love someone you should have told them yesterday. Tell them today, but tell them tomorrow as well and the day after that. There is precious little love in the world. If we start setting aside a mere day for its expression, then we are all sad and lonely people.
And don't worry if you're not in a relationship. Tell your Mom. Tell your Dad. Tell your kids. Tell your cats. Who do you love? Let them know. Don't wait for this one day. Do it when you can.
Maybe the world will be a better place.
I know I sound like an old hippie, and I don't want to make love sound like some mystical power or force, but telling someone that you love them just because it's Valentines Day and you're 'supposed to' seems kind of lame to me. It's only slightly better than being told to 'have a nice day',
Telling those you love that you love for no other reason than that you love...?
Well, that beats a kick in the teeth, doesn't it?

Here is a piece of cover art I finished recently. It was for the book THE SPEAR OF DESTINY by Jason E. Thummel.
Investigator Lance Chambers takes the unbelievable cases. The ones that involve magic, the supernatural, and things that go bump in the night. It's not an easy job, but it pays the bills. And since most people don't believe in that sort of "mumbo-jumbo" there isn't much competition for business...which never hurts.
But when there isn't any business at all, it doesn't really help that much either.
So when Lance is offered what appears to be a simple missing persons case, he leaps at the chance. But what he finds in the zombie-infested jungles of South America is anything but a simple case, and he's soon to learn that the old adage about looking before you leap makes a hell of a lot of sense.
Unfortunately for Lance, it's already too late.
You can buy the book HERE at Amazon.com.
