Musings, regarding the book and other items...

By -

Hello!

I will be putting up chapter four of Dark Resurrection in a few days, and perhaps a few movies later on; I've been rather busy as of late. I have been editing and recombining the chapters of Dark Resurrection II into the first book, which will then be as I originally wrote it in 2003. 

After chapter nine there will be new material posted that no one here has ever read, and it will serve to explain two points that several people have mentioned regarding the story, i.e., Jesus' propensity for referring to Mary Magdalene as "woman"  in the story, and Jesus' "vampiric accent". 

Regarding the first item, anyone who is familiar with the King James or Douay versions of the New Testament will recall that Jesus referred to her, and to his own mother - as "woman" in the gospel of John.

As far as the "vampiric accent" angle is concerned, the reader will have to wait until I post chapter twelve of the recombined work. It is explained to the reader by a character the vampiric Christ and his consort meet on the Italian peninsula while on their way to Rome.

That said, I would also like to invite other posters, if anyone is so inclined, as personality conflicts have led to the departures of several valued contributors. Hey - it's not like they were getting paid, and they do have the right to come or go as they please with no protest from me.

Oh yes - and please don't forget to mention the Landing Spot to your friends. Perhaps they may be interested in reading my silly book, and if anyone can find me a real publisher that is interested, I will gladly give them a cut of any profits made, with a legally binding contract.

Best regards,

VJ

The Bridge: Suicide Isn't Painless

The theme song to the 1970 movie MASH is called "Suicide is Painless." It isn't, in ways I will try to explain. First of all, let's look at the act itself. Many suicide attempts are horribly botched. I recently asked an emergency medical technician what was the most unusual call he ever dealt with, and his immediate reply was someone who shot himself in the head with a .45 and survived. Rather than getting rid of his worldly problems, the man made them infinitely worse, not only for himself but many others as well. Several years ago, I watched a documentary film called The Bridge (2006) , which was about the people that jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge over the course of a year; 23 of the 24 (known) suicides from the bridge that year (2004) were recorded. Snuff films and/or anything related to them are far from my bag to say the least, but I felt compelled to watch this documentary, as my only brother killed himself by jumping from a bridge elsewhere...
