Rebeling against Security

 ...And how about this?

Yes, what we all want is happiness, but how do we get that? Security. In our life, in our pocket, in love. When we feel secure we will all be happy. And there are many times in our lives when we ARE happy, but then when something comes along which either destroys that security, or shows a potentially stronger security for us, then we move towards what we think will make us happier. Of course, when people are in danger, this is the only option. However, most of us live dull, mediocre lives. Some of these people realise this security is a prison of their own creation and rebel against it, some don't realise it and yet still rebel. Addiction, compulsion, obsession. Whatever. We're just on this spinning rock, with the miracle of life and the finalisation of death.

So... while you're dealing with your security and happiness, how about reading a few books?

Still waiting on a review one reader gave to Amazon about two weeks ago. Do Amazon treat their larger customers like this? Nope. Clearly a class / monetary system here.

Civilisation Should Die

So... how about this?

It doesn't matter what you do. Whether you work 9 to 5, unemployed, whether you're a wealthy businessperson, or some corrupt politician. We're all in this prison we have created and allowed to take our lives. We have one life. One. And yet we've given those ignorant of their own selfish needs and desires to find a purpose in this life to dominate and 'deliver' our lives the way they think they should be. 

Isn't it time to stop and think? The hole we have dug ourselves gets deeper every day. Isn't it time to realise that is there is no God, there is no religion, and for sure there is no nation? There are no 'ism's. There is only humanity, nature and the spinning rock we find ourselves on. Deal with the problems we all face. Forget the beliefs you hold so great and realise the emptiness of them all. We are beings on a planet, running around in our 'civilisation', trying to find that 'happiness' whether it be money or power, or whatever, which are all meaningless. 

While you're thinking about that, here are some books for you to buy and read...

Russian BOTs are off my back!

Well, got that 54th rating for Shade back, PLUS... it seems the Russian BOTs have left... for now.

My cup runneth over. I think I have another meaning for that now. Must be the age. Anyway...

I've got a ton of books. I really don't know how much longer Amazon will allow me to sell my own books on their website. So get them while you can...

Got a Sale, Lost a Rating...

Thank you to the person who bought a paperback of Man by a Tree! My first ever book. It's strange for me how people are only just finding my stuff.

And thank you to Amazon for taking a 5 star rating off Shade! Why, thank you! Is there anything else you could do that you already haven't tried? Banning me from my own books, you tried. Deleting my books from any category lists, you tried. NOW it's taking my ratings away. And why a 5 star? Why not one of the lower ones, the ones where the people didn't actually read the book? Nah, Amazon, you took a 5 star. Sure. Thanks.

So, anyway. Another short rant. 

Oh look! Some books! I don't know how much longer Amazon will allow me to sell my own books on their website. (I. Have. Done. Nothing. Wrong.) So get them while you can...

New Review for In the Midst of Fools!

Yeah! A new review for In the Midst of Fools!... oh, hang on, no, not yet. Apparently, although other authors get 100+ reviews in less than 24 hours from their ARCs/paid promotions/family & friends, one of my readers has been given an email which says it could take up to a month to put the review up. What? First Amazon try to prove that my books aren't mine - like, who the hell else would write them?! Then they try to prove that I put them into the wrong categories - those categories they mentioned don't even exist?! And now I can't get reviews? Yep, it isn't what you know, it's who you know / how much money you can make. Small independent authors such as myself have very little support, and then Amazon walks all over you too.

Anyway... rant over.

Gabacsi Dulu STILL needs 2 ratings for the 100, so if you have read it (we're talking 4 figures here, people) and haven't rated it yet, could you please swing on over and add a few, that would be great!

Pussy Riot: Protest song about the war

 More Russian BOTs, so...

Pussy Riot's protest song about the war, watch it here...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr0GN2llJaY

Actually, Putin IS a pussy. He's like one of those bullies in the playground, stealing other people's lunch money, except now he's stealing land and spilling blood.

When I first heard of Putin, I knew he'd been a top member of the KGB or something, and there were many stories and images of him being strong and holding his country together. Now I know that was all propaganda. Strong. If he were strong, he wouldn't need to terrorise other countries and make threats with nuclear weapons. "My Dad's bigger than yours" kinda shit. And now that Ukraine is STILL fighting against him, he keeps making more threats about nuclear weapons, says he'll never give in, etc., just like that bully in school who never knows when to back down and accept that they are in the wrong. They never know. They can hit you but when you fight back, they scream and shout and try to get you into trouble, or at least give that as the reason why they 'retaliated' to your actions... even though they struck first. It's just that they have a bigger mouth, and that's what Putin has. A big mouth. Especially within his own country. Long live Pussy Riot!
