Its so easy to lie ...You are one sick individual. <br /><br />Its so easy to lie to those who dont know the real story, but let me assure you there are two sides to this story. <br /><br />And since you wont tell anyone what happened I will: Joshua Cooper stole a few hundred dollars from his mom during christmas. When confronted, he stated his innocence and agreed to a lie detector test at the local police station, that he did in fact FAIL.<br /><br />Josh will never be a MAN, and admit his wrongs, that we are all capable of. Instead (like the guilty often do) he points his finger at the everyone else to remove blame, and remain the victim. After all these years he is still beating that drum.<br /><br />Let it go man, you failed a lie detector test, nothing will ever change that, move on. These stories you are writting are false, and even though you may have fooled those reading, you and I both know the truth. I was there too, and no abuse ever occured. This is kind of sad, how dillusional you have become because of this. Stop your crying, grow up, and move on. Everyone else has. <br /><br />Its easy to write words on paper, and call it the truth, aint it? Nothing drives someone further than guilt. <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128874336258389695.post-181814108306008352013-04-28T00:14:46.180-04:002013-04-28T00:14:46.180-04:00Thanks Travis, and I'm always accepting hugs a...Thanks Travis, and I'm always accepting hugs and you've always been a good friend, almost like a brother to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426217286230740355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128874336258389695.post-46851255020795504702013-04-27T19:07:09.341-04:002013-04-27T19:07:09.341-04:00This just makes me really sad man, and kinda makes...This just makes me really sad man, and kinda makes me want to give you a hug...but not in a weird way.

I listened on a radio today, where a man felt that God had allowed him to fall into a life of drugs and sin. Then he was sent to prison and once there he found God and now helps people with their drug addiction. He believes God pulled him through what he had, so that he could turn his life around and help others. In a round about way it's the whole reason behind this series I started. <br /><br />Thanks again for your kind words.

Bittersweet really.<br /><br />Some of the things you said up there made me grin, and some of them made me wanna have a good cry because they remind me how underrated the occupation of writing for a living or for a reason to go on living at all, really can be in the eyes of those stuck groping in the dark halls of the prison called reality which we all get sent to at some point once we grow up, only to keep dreaming of ways to escape into a bigger world with better and brighter possibilities.<br /><br />(And this is the point where my thoughts scatter.)<br /><br />I need consistency.<br /><br /> I admire the fact you have such a detailed system of writing when you get involved in a lengthy story. It’s a point of chastisement for me really, because I just can't seem to commit deeply enough to anything to get into the novelist mode.<br /><br />It's like I can keep the mojo going long enough to finish a poem, and I can write a song if I've got a hook and a tune. But when it comes to long stints of writing requiring detailed work on characters, plot...the whole 1000 yards, I just get dizzy.<br /><br /><br />And I can't seem to focus long enough to bring any of my (good but could be more original) ideas to life. <br /><br /><br />But enough of my frustrations.<br /><br /><br /> I know writing is a personal journey and growing process, and getting impatient with my (rather feeble) expertise (and grammar/spelling control) is no good.<br /><br />But I can't help it! I adore writing and I want to improve my own. It's just taking too long for my liking. <br /><br /><br />And on top of having a lot of the eccentricities which you mentioned, including (not limited to): talking to myself, writing whenever the mood strikes for however long or short a stint, being paranoid about keeping backup files safe (maybe not to the extent you've gone, but I am TERRIBLY sympathetic), avoiding evil phones, and becoming a hermit to further the writing process while staying online to save my soul from a life of eternal mundaneness, condemned to the real world after going beyond the point of no return...<br /> **cough**graduation**cough**EXILE**cough**forced attendance of college for degree unrelated to writing**cough**<br /><br />(And here is the point where I lose my point and decide to wrap things up before being dubbed a certifiable loon by a writer whom I cannot help but respect and would certainly not like to be blocked by any time soon due to excessive running of the mouth and being unnecessarily long-winded on a page I do not own)<br /><br /><br />Ahem...basically, I thoroughly enjoyed this peek into your (intriguing) lifestyle devoted to the writer's craft, and I thank you for making me feel like less of a weirdo for my own odd habits in regards to my writing practices.<br /><br /><br />I've learned a lot in the way of future referencing whenever I happen to dive into the shell of a novelist and hole up against the world.<br /><br />Call me old fashioned, but I've always loved the smell paper rustled between the covers of books on shelves, just waiting to be opened and devoured by greedy escapists such as ourselves.<br /><br /><br />Again, before I start ranting, I've enjoyed this post. And now I simply must stalk you elsewhere.<br /><br /><br />It seems you've gained a fan. I'm now horrifyingly interested in your works. <br /><br /><br />Be afraid. And flattered if you can manage beneath all the shaking and sweating and paranoia.<br /><br /><br />Pleased to make your acquaintance.<br />Raheema Muhammadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13344823430364898002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128874336258389695.post-37635131184799842013-01-16T22:22:21.543-05:002013-01-16T22:22:21.543-05:00Thanks you very much, it's very good to hear. ...Thanks you very much, it's very good to hear.
