Pictures; The Bane Of This Blog

As the title implies, it seems that pictures, or the lack of them, will cause this blog to be shuffled to the bottom of the top blogger lists. Well so be it then. My blog will contain few to no pictures. And if Blogger wants to continue to let my blog recess at the bottom of its list, I will endure. You see, pictures do nothing but to distract people from the true thought behind the text. That is what I believe anyways.

On to more interesting things. I recently got my hands on one of the various editions of Shakespeare's complete writings. I was flabbergasted (In a good way) at the amount of "books" in that book. I mean it is ridiculous. I did not look if it included his sonnets. But with or without the sonnets, the book is a good 10 pounds. On my blog I am going to start something where every time I finish a play, story, etc. I will mark it down here. So this is the official list (This list will be updated and edited as time goes on)

Hamlet
Romeo And Juliet
Julius Caesar

I do not like to think that this list will remain stagnant. I hope to read Othello and The Marry Wives. Those two I will get done for sure. Also, the whole King Henry series, I was told, is quite a good series. But as time goes on, we will see what happens. Perhaps I will find a gem here or there. And if anybody reading is a Shakespeare officianado, please feel free to drop some recommendations to me. However, please do not try to give me a summary or critical analysis of any stories. Now I am pretty sure that there is a one in one quadrillionth chance of someone actually sending me anything or leaving a comment, I feel better knowing that I at least said it.

Now I know everybody is interested in music of some sort. So that is while I am going to add a small section here. What is this section? If you cannot guess by the obvious intro, it is a section where I recommend an album or artist to all of my musical, or non-musical, readers out there. Well, here goes nothing, or possibly everything.

This is the must have CD for any Alice In Chains fan. All of these songs are awesome in their own respect and command the listener to listen. The best part about this album is the fact that it showcases the bands skills and ability to play in any genre (Save rap and country, but no one listens to that anyway.) So as for my star rating, I must say, besides Melon Collie and The Infinite Sadness, this is the best album I own by any artist. Thusly I shall give it 4 and 3/4 stars as I am only going to award Melon Collie And The Infinite Sadness the 5 stars. But I will review that one at a later date.

On to the last little bit of this entry. I am going to put a link to a short story I wrote entitled "Moonlight Dew". Do not bother me with the title, it was a last minute thing and for what it is worth, it serves nothing but to keep record of it. I was required to title it and that was the first thing I used to describe it. Anyways, it was good enough to win an English Class contest, so I figure I could share it with you people. However, if you steal my story or any of the ideas presented in it, I will find you, and then I will terminate your ass with extreme prejudice for story-stealing douchebags.

Edit: I decided to post my story in my next blog entry instead of linking the file as that way you will not need any other programs to read my very short story.
