“You should get some chickens.” He suggests, scooping one up into the palm of his hand. He nuzzles the tiny bird against his cheek, bumping his nose against the chick's beak, and then drops it into Dean's unsuspecting hands. “Wha- I don't need chickens,” Dean protests, blinking down at the ball of fluff cooing gently between his palms. “You need eggs don't you?” Castiel counters, bending to pick up two more chicks.

Prince school to be built in Malawi

IAPW Founder, Manuela Testolini, announces that school to be built in honor of late former husband, Prince, will be constructed in Malawi.

Malawi, a landlocked country in southeast Africa, is home to nearly 14 million people. It is one of the most densely populated and least developed countries in the world. Malawi claims one of the highest rates of HIV/AIDS, with 15% of adults age 15-49 already infected, and a growing number of children orphaned by this disease. The vast majority of people live in rural areas in community where up to 90% of adults are unable to read and write. Malawi is also a country rich in history, culture and MUSIC. Plans are for the school to break ground in July.

IAPW is helping break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy by constructing and renovating schools in the world’s most economically poor countries. IAPW has funded the construction of 22 schools thus far. The school in honor of Prince will be the 3rd IAPW school in Malawi, and the 23rd school overall.

Projects: Or a Handy Guide to my Pretentiousness

Most of you that follow me do so because of my original posts regarding Buddhism. Lately, I haven't been posting as much about Buddhism and this is a trend I expect to continue. This is not the result of waning interest or practice, it is actually the direct result of the opposite. I'm too busy learning to adequately present myself as some kind of authority. I have discovered that volume of my ignorance is vast indeed, and for now I'm going to specifically avoid trying to fill that space with the sound of my own voice. This is not to say I won't be posting about Buddhism, I will, I just won't be doing it as frequently. I recently begun practice with a new Sangha, and thus far it has enhanced my practiced and added a new level of depth; I intend to explore this for the time being.

That said, I will shift focus somewhat and post more about my various projects I'm working on, most of which are of a literary nature. You can expect more posts on writing -the process, etc, and more posts OF writing as I leak samples of my various works. 

Because I enjoy being cryptic, all of my projects have code names, and I'm loath to even divulge the actual names of these projects at this time. All posts will be tagged accordingly, and in case you haven't been paying attention (you haven't) AND you are interested in staying updated on the state and nature of my various endeavors (you aren't), you can use this as a general reference: 

Project Delphi: My newest project. This is a sit down RPG (think D&D) project I'm working on with a friend. The title is still under wraps because the game is based on an existing video game series. We don't have the rights to the intellectual property, but we hope to start negotiating the terms of the IP at some point this year. Wish us luck.

GFbD: This is 'the novel'. The details are scant but it's about a man, his dog, a talking monkey, a samuraiess, and their inexplicable adventures. It'll make sense later.

iaPW: The 'other' novel. It's on the back burner at the moment. The story is: Boy meets girl then time dilates and gets all 'wonky'.

There will be the usual stuff as well. There will be posts about Buddhism, probably more about writing. The occasional posting of a band or musician. You know the drill.

Musing and other vain pursuits

Apparently I'm writing two novels, at the same time.

They are vastly different too. I may focus on one over the other, using the stand-by project as a change of pace from the primary one.

Rotational writing if you will.

I was working a novel that was a twist on the guy meets girl, in a very confusing way.

Now however, I've started working on a another project that's a meditation and celebration of life through the perspective of dying. 

I think I'm going to work on the latter for now.
