It works.  I am now stalkin... errr.... I mean following your blog.


The set up to your story kind of reminds me of a short lived TV show from a number of years back.  Funny enough it was called "New Amsterdam" and it was about a NY cop who was several hundred years old thanks to some sort of Indian magic.  He went around solving crimes using his knowledge of the history of the city since he was there watching it grow.  There are also flashbacks to times in the past as they related to the episodes.  I liked the premise but apparently it wasn't making its network enough money.

^Well obviously you are much less weird than Migs :) ...but you new that.

I think I turned the doohickey on that allows the riff-raff to follow the blog if they want, like Arctic and Martok :)

Can anyone confirm?

Kind of pathetic that I work on an intranet for a living but whatevs...

I just plugged the blog feed in to Feedly, so I haven't been anywhere near your doohickey. And I'd frankly like to keep it that way.

I'm subscribed as well. Do we get automatic links when you post an update?

EDIT:There was also a book about 10 years ago along the same lines: Forever. It was about a man who was immortal as long as he did not leave the Island of Manhattan.

^Thanks so much for the love guys. It means a lot to me and I am flattered! I watched New Amsterdam when it was broadcast and remember it being kinda meh...I wanted to love it but just didn't.

Forever, on the other hand, is one of my favorite fiction books.

And Arctic my doohickey is real and spectacular! There's actually an application out there called Feedly??

Gus I'd really like it if you could crank up the intensity quickly as I'm copying everything you write and submitting to a producer as my movie idea  :D

That's what I love about this forum, Migs.
Everybody is always thinking.

I liked your blog on FB. So if you have some western canadians coping a read of your blog.... 'from far and wide, Oh Canada..."
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

^Thanks Breezy! I haven't had a chance to start my own FB page with the holiday this weekend but the family is going to be out of town...I should be able to put together a page for myself then.

Next immediate goal is to get the first storytelling post up on the blog, with images. Trying to make this simple to both read and write. Each post will have 1-3 images and 500-1000 words. In theory.

Will be kooky to see where this goes. Maybe after a year I could make a book out of it. Unless of course Migsy has already stolen my thunder :/

Then the True Apocalypse has come and gone already. And we didn't even notice...
