Part 2, merged with the first part.
Happy reading!

Catharsis, Part II, and other things!

So, in several parts, I will catch my readership (if I still have any) with the goings on of the past year or so.

Firstly, I uploaded some videos. Check those out.

Secondly, I finished the first part (of six) of Down to One (that’s a working title for the work overall). It weighs in at about 903 kilobytes, and you can get it right here.

Thirdly, this isn’t just the first planned book, it is also merged with what was planned to be a second book (not a direct sequel, but an interquel, if you will). It was cannibalized, and put in sorta chronologically throughout the text. Enjoy that.

Fourthly, the second book as it is currently planned is about 8,200 words along. It’ll be released when it reaches the “word floor” (in this case, the size of a novella), which is 10,000 words. It is called the Apocryphal Portions, which picks up soon after the first book lets off. About six months after, with the UASS Oppenheimer wrecked upon a mysterious island. There’s a new ensemble of characters added to the current cast. The Apocryphal Portions are intended to dissolve some things I didn’t want to put into the first book, so they’re here in flashbacks and whatnot.

Fifthly, and lastly, I’m now a senior in high school. I plan to finish the next few parts of the book over the summer, giving each roughly a month.

Sincerly, Robb

P.S. See you in 1,800 words

Been a long while. Might as well post this video that I put up. Enjoy.

New Posts Inbound!!!

I am going to start posting again. That is all.

God. Give me a break.

So… I just realized something. But I think I’m getting ahead of myself.

Hey, Robb here.

Over the past year, or perhaps the course of the Iraq/”Liberation” wars, American xenophobia has increased to becoming almost culpable to a matter of satire. Think about it; the past two months, there’s been like a single consistent headline for the whole 24 news network fiasco that runs mainstream America. GROUND ZERO MOSQUE and then there might be a panel… Or a crazy tea-bagger protesting that “The damn Muslims are spreading their X and Y in XX,YY”.

In my honest opinion, how much of a theocracy does a population become that they feel entitled to make blanket statements of another religion? Despite being a atheist (I believe there are higher powers, though. This should be noted) I see that our current trend might be the worse than that Nazi Germany, or even Spain during the early years of unification. Now there are a few ways to take this issue. I’m taking this from a neutral perspective. If you disagree, feel free to use the comment thread to tell me how I’ve got it wrong. CITE SOURCES, seeing as ideas are sparingly rational without any evidences or thought behind them.

So, Ground Zero “Mosque”. Interesting concept to the American people, the culture of which “Al Qaeda” descended from “making it’s mark” on an otherwise victorious spot. Now see, this is where we lose sight of the fact that Islam isn’t a contiguous hive mind. Islam doesn’t tell it’s peoples to “Kill X, they are guilty of Y, and thus are infidels. Jihad.” Now see, Jihad is a funny concept to America. Fighting a defensive war? How? See, as far as we see… Any person who’s ever been in the same room as a Qoran, or so much as read it, gave way to them picking up illicit rifles and turning against “us”. Where “us” is the unifying point of my argument on Xenophopia. “WASP”. White Anglo-Saxon Protestants; face it, they’re everywhere, and at one point, I was one. But this remains beside the point. Our current culture embraces only the certified American Zeitgeist. The spirit of this time, though? There are people (who could/might be of another race) who think their different (and if you listen to other WASPs against this) ARE HELLBENT ON KILLING ME.

Now back up.

Point 1: America is a bunch of racist hypocrites.

Point 2: America has people who really don’t care to set out the door to encounter other cultures.

Point 3: These factors have brought tragedy to a once great experiment.

That’s what I thought I said.

Now, if you’re reading this just because you disagree with the idea of religious freedom in America… Well, guess what? You just heard: THIS GUY LIKES MUSLIMS! GET THE PITCHFORKS!

This is exactly the problem with Americans now of days. We have an uncultured aristocracy teaching an equally uncultured proletariat that it’s bad to be anything but a WASP. Now, in any way, this sums up the past 400 years of any, and all villains America has ever faced.

Nazi Germany didn’t want Jews in it’s future (or Romanis, or the feeble, or Jehovah’s Witnesses, or… God. They wanted it white washed, didn’t they?).

Japan didn’t want China to be China. This is pretty obvious.

Russia didn’t want Russia to be capitalist.

England didn’t want Americans to be Americans.

Vietnam didn’t want undue influences on it’s people.

But this is all beside the point. I shall entertain you with a single anecdote before I state my final point.

During the last few summers, I’ve met a lot of people, and kept in contact with a lot of family. Now, there’s crazy evangelical Christians, then there are cultists.  My Uncle, whom you might remember from “Five Bad things on Religion” otherwise known as “Spirituality. I know. An agnostic with a opinion of religion.. Real original.” Well, he’s gone through something of a spiritual rebirth… And it’s sort of atypical through this that he gained a new sense of pride, where he looked down upon all other “brands” of Protestantism, believing his to be the only true “Church of God” and he’s gained a hard on for the book of Deutoronomy. Taking on a god-friendly diet, among things… Time went on, and I didn’t really care for it, besides that he held his church above our heads, and thought himself better… But this really isn’t the point. I remember one time he cited that “all the other religions out be destroyed, and replaced by ours” this is paraphrasing. But this is the crux of the problem in a way.

When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations — the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you — 2 and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. 3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, 4 for they will turn your sons away from following me to serve other gods, and the LORD’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you. 5 This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the fire.

Now, I’ll leave a link to the wiki on that, but see… This is, as I said, the crux of the matter. We want a homogeneous reality for America. I don’t want to walk down the street, and notice that all the men wear suits, and all of the grand cathedrals, mosques, and other places of contemplation to bear a singular crucifix. I want a world where I can walk down the street, and see the people in their burkas, and in their classical attires, smiling at those who chose to wear their Sabbath’s best. I want to be able to say “Qu’est-ce qu’un grand, belle mosquée.” Or “La synagogue est une présentation de l’architecture pratique.” I don’t want to have to say “Combien de fois ai-je vu la crèche dans la classe de teint?” Now, I come from the depths of my heart… Please, we want to have a place for all religions. I may not be of one… But, in reality? I believe the best religious philosophy is “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Now see? We all have freedoms we must respect of others. To meander another’s plans, no matter how bad you dislike them, is a hatred for your American government that in fact gave you the right to express that.

DON’T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS. Also, God likes people who are nice. Just word on the street. Totally.

P.S: I hear they’re building a Mosque in Robbanaco. Or was that Murfreesboro?

Today Is the Greatest….

Today is the greatest
Day I’ve ever known
Can’t wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I’ll tear my heart out
Before I get out

I think I’m in love. No, I don’t mean with another person, although the people I have met here have been the most amazing…and we’ve gotten so close so quick, and I believe me and my roomie have a little bromance blossoming. I mean with the U of M, with the whole college experience.

You know that one guy, who is an absolute badass, but also is an awesome, nice dude…that’s exactly what UMich is. Don’t have a car? Bus stops are ALL over the place, free to students, and once when I asked which way to the nearest, this guy GIVES ME A RIDE. Life just keeps getting better and better.

And the sheer volume of people you meet, it’s enough to fill your phone in a weekend. I’ve already put in dozens of numbers. All my life, having a huge network of great friends has been a goal, and UMich is the catalyst that has undone my introversion and near-hermitage, and brought me into the light.

Just hope I don’t get sunburned.

Faithfully yours,
JMill
