A Work of Fiction: Chapter 8

He burst into the middle of the aisle, ripping open his shirt to reveal a homemade bomb.  How the hell did that get on here?!  I thought to myself, not that I really had the time.  His hand began to reach for the trigger.  “Don’t even try it, I’ll take you down before you even have the chance,” I said, raising my gun to aim dead center in his forehead.  Some people don’t listen.  His hand continued towards it.  One bang, a few screams, and a lot of jumps later, he was down, a trickle of blood forming a pool around his head.  I stood there with my gu

The Green TieJohn Wesley Updegrove, my great Grandfather and my namesake, was a young coal miner, in 1899.  He made very little money in the Allentown mines, but that didn't bother him.  He had a home, food on the table, and his Irish wife was stunningly beautiful and supportive.   Every year, on St. Patrick's Day, which was also his birthday, the German man and his wife would go to dinner after a long day mining.  But this year was different.   The day prior, his wife spent four dollars on a green tie.  It was very simple.  The dark green silk shined in the sunlight.  She cou The Green Tie

Aftermath"Big brother?" A small voice called out amidst the leveled community.  "Big brother?!"  Her strained, scared voice echoed off the monolithic pieces of concrete now dotting the landscape.  "Christy!"  A older male voice called from behind her.  She turned to see a man that slightly resembled her, blood slowly trickling down his face, running towards her.  "Big brother!"  She called as she ran to meet him.  "Oh, Christy!  Jesus, are you okay?"  He asked as he looked at her lacerations and bruises, kneeling down to her level, and finally giving her a loving, comforti Aftermath

A St. Patty's Day tradition

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 17, 2008, 6:59 AM
  • Mood: Love
For those of you wondering, Snow is still going, I just changed it's name to A Work of Fiction!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.

I posted the story of the Green Tie in my gallery (actually, I will, sometime today...I decided I get this up first.) It's a century plus tradition in my family, and I figured I'd share it all with you.

it's pretty much self taught. there are some tutorials online for it. Also some forums and websites about it as well.

AmericanParkour.com is a good place to start, because you can hook up with some people who know what they are doing and can help you out.

The thing about parkour is, it's tough. You really have to prepare yourself for a world of pain. Learn to roll and land first before you do anything else with it. Because then you will be able to survive the epic bails that are a part of starting out.

Don't end up like this guy...

It was a very surreal experience, definitely worth going, seeing it was like a dream, as I'd seen it so many times on videos but never seen it for myself so when I did, it was quite odd.

If blind people had points on their sticks... there'd be a lot less litter.
