Based upon Mark Millar's explosive graphic novel series and helmed by stunning visualist director Timur Bekmambetov—creator of the most successful Russian film franchise in history, the Night Watch series—Wanted tells the tale of one apathetic nobody's transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008, the world will be introduced to a hero for a new generation: Wesley Gibson.
25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut.
Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie).
After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad's death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself.
With wickedly brilliant tutors—including the Fraternity's enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman)—Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny.

Lou for Lucifer

Desc: So lots of people are doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this month, which is really exciting and impressive! Alas, I'm not giving it a go, but this is an excerpt from a novel that I'm writing at a much more leisurely pace!
The novel's called Lou for Lucifer, and no, it's not about the Devil :) |

"MAN IN WHITE" by Johnny Cash: Prologue 002 of 002
![]() |
Desc: Johnny Cash. The Apostle Paul.
Two Legendary Me
Two Thousand Years Apart
Yet Remarkably Similar
Both struggled with a "thorn in the flesh." And both had powerful visions from God.
Paul's encounter with the Man in White knocked him to the ground and struck him blind. It also transformed him into one of the most influential men in history.
Johnny Cash's vision was of another man entirely - his recently deceased father - a vision that helped spark his imagination to write this HISTORICAL novel about the amazing life of the intriguing figure with whom Cash identified so deeply, the Apostle Paul.
See Paul as you've never seen him before - through the creative imagination of one of the greatest singer-songwriters America has ever known. Subsequently see Johnny Case, the man in Black, as you've never seen him before - as a passionist novelist consumed with the MAN IN WHITE.
Note: This book is out-of-print but you can still pick up copies on EBAY and AMAZON.
While I don't have a voice like Johnny Cash, I'm going to do my best with this. I don't have a professional microphone or anything so what you get is what you get and I hope some of you will be blessed by it. :-)
I believe both John and June are in Heaven and I can't wait to meet them someday. Johnny Cash was annointed by God just as Keith Green was and I'm sticking to that!
This is my 2nd all time favorite book, aside from the Holy Bible. |
NaNoWriMo Songs

Desc: First off, 'What is NaNoWriMo?', I hear you all cry. National Novel Writing Month. A creative writing challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. I got these songs from one of the NaNoWriMo forums. And here they are...
PINKY AND THE BRAIN
We're writing all the time,
we have a real good time
1k after another,
it's simply sublime
We make the dream come true,
a book out of the blue
We're doing the Nanowrimo
now now now now
FLINTSTONES
NaNo,
NaNo/WriMo,
It's the time to be a word machine.
One month
For a novel,
It's the greatest thing I've ever seen!
Let's all
Gather at the coffee shop
Where we'll
Pound away on our laptops.
When you're
Doing NaNo,
You'll forget about your laundry,
And obligations,
You'll have a WriMo time!
IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT
If you're creative and you know it, write a novel
If you're creative and you know it, write a novel
If you're creative and you know it, then your words will surely show it
If you're creative and you know it, write a novel
If you're crazy and you know it, do it in a month
If you're crazy and you know it, do it in a month
If you're crazy and you know it, then your life will surely show it
If you're crazy and you know it, do it in a month
If you're lonly and you know it, try November
If you're lonly and you know it, try November
If you're lonly and you know it, your word count will surely show it
If you're lonly and you know it, try November
If it's November and you know it, then it's NaNo
If it's November and you know it, then it's NaNo
If you're not writing and you know it, and the forums surely show it
And it's November and you know it, then it's NaNo

Will be done 'fore you know it!
WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Write away

Chug coffee
It's NaNoWriMo
Rejoice
It's almost December
