Sunday
I am so amazed that I actually got a couple of good comments on this little website of mine. Every once in a while as I take my break from working on the NPM or scoping the web for new writing projects that I can get into I stumble across new comments as I prepare to write a new post or add something new. I cannot take all the credit, for if it wasn’t for my buddy Mr. Steve Bozzone for pushing me to do this there would be no peakjohnson.com. And Mr. Steve if you are reading this, I’m planning on putting a link to your website in my blogroll.
Sundays are now my lounge days, this means that I sometimes do nothing but lounge around all day in bed thinking of new projects that I want to pertake in to get my name known more in Philadelphia and new ideas about the NPM. Of course sitting in bed all day is not very productive which is why sometimes I use Sunday as also a day to write, however, since my laptop has recently caught a virus its been a daunting time for me. So sometimes I work on layout for the paper even though some say I shouldn’t work on a Sunday.
Though if anyone has any thoughts as to what I can do on Sundays don’t hesitate to leave a comment for me or email me. Once I get a new break for my bike and a couple of other things I’ll be moving around. I’ve been thinking of going to the Art Mueseum soon, no reason in particular, but going there has given me an idea for a possible theme for the next issue of the paper.
Also as I was lounging around Sunday at home I found that Robo Cop 3 was on, I have never watched Robo Cop fully through only seeing bits and pieces so this is my first time watching it all the way through. I liked it and there was one scene in it that I think kind of made fun of police. There was a scene where this guy comes into a restaurant to rob this guy and as soon as he pulls out his gun, all of these cops who are eating there pull out their weapons.
Now as a report is going out for another crime that is presently happening none of the officers want to go and are passing the job to other officers where the criminal then says, “Doesn’t anyone get arrested in this town.” Makes you wonder, doesn’t it.
This also gave me an idea for the new story I am kind of working on for the NPM and myself. I actually started working on it way before I started on the book series and you should see how much detail and notes I have for it. I actually finished it up a while back, but it needs a lot of tuning and more detail and cak story which I could never seem to get right.
But one piece of the story was published in issue 7 of the NPM. It is also at the Librairy of Congress, I actually have to check on this because I think you have to renew it or whatever. But in order to this story justice I have to ride around philly and take a couple of pictures, so of you know about the story though until its in the NPM I shall say nothing else.
I have to get back to laying out now, but I think I’ll write something else today or tomorrow revolving around the book series and how I got an idea for a good scene this morning as I left for work or more about authors who inspire me and my stories.
