New Direction

Like Axl Rose said in the song by Guns N Roses November Rain, "Nothing lasts forever and we both know hearts can change." 

I don't think I'll ever stop with motivational posts, they are just something that comes natural from within. 

But I recently got to thinking. And I'm coming to realized something. I'm feeling a change. 

And that's okay. 

Maybe I'll stick to a schedule, or maybe I'll post when the feeling strikes. That might even be more than three times a week--once you release yourself, the flow is greater. 

 At this point I don't know yet. 

 I still think the art is a good idea, incase you don't enjoy the words, you can at least get something. 

Just like that job you ask why they had to go through hell for, everything is for a reason and I feel you can find the good in just about everything. 

 I'm not really changing anything pre se,just maybe the timing and execution. 

 Plus I wanted to mess with different styles and such--with writing and the blog. 

 Try new things. See what works. 

With that said, I'm a writer. 

A writer. 

I paint a picture with words and provoke emotion. Good. Bad. Exciting. Sad. Happy. 

I make a thought come to life--make one who reads my words think. 

Hopefully I touch a heart, or excite a mind. Maybe someone will take to action and do something positive, or start writing and creating themselves. Hopefully I can motivate and get you into the same mood to think positive. 

There will always be those motivational posts, or posts on something I've learned along the way in this journey. But as I moved forward there will be more posts about the way I see the world. 

What I am thinking about when I see the trees rustle on a breezy autumn evening. What it excites in me. The smell of the air. Freshly cut grass. The chill succumbing to a slightly warmer climate. Seasons. The seclusive smell of a freezing winter day. 

What sort of olfactory memories are ignited by these stimuli? 

Can I bring you back to a time when these things provoked a thought inside? 

Can I insight a feeling that makes you remember youth? 

These are things I will aim toward. 

Maybe some days just something I'm thinking about that affects the way I'm thinking or feeling that particular day. 

All these things and more are to come. Because as a writer I am not stagnant. I am growing and thinking of new things to put down onto the paper. 

 And there will be questions. 

Hopefully you'll come along for the ride. 
Let me know in the comments below or on Twitter @WCMarchese.

 Hope to see you there.

The Brightest Flame

Image
The brightest flame burns quickest. Or like Lao Tzu said originally "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long."  Sounds about right. You push too hard and you burn out. There you go. Burn. Candles.  Get it?  Well, it's true. Pushing yourself to achieve a goal is a good thing, but to over exert one's self is not.  It's not only disaster that can take place, but total burn out--and then it's just not as fun.  A little extra work never killed anyone, until you take it too far, you neglect your family, life.  Yes, you're doing more, but now your spouse despises you. Your kids don't know you, and you may be getting sick.  Now it's too late. You've gone and pushed yourself to the limits. And in the interim you've neglected a lot of things. Probably even your health.  Now you're sick, about to cash in your ticket. And you look around. What did it get you?  Your kids are grown a bit, maybe spouse left you. You

The Local Spirit Halloween Store Popped Up Again

Image
I recently stopped into a Spirit Halloween store to check on something Halloween  related and it was all decked out with ghoulish goodness. The year has gone by fast, and it fast-forwarded to the best time of the year in my opinion. The leaves change color, a chill in the air. The holidays are just around the corner.  Take it slow. Try to savor these moments. And if your time of the year is summer, try to savor that, too. When you can.  This Spirit store usually rents the space out annually. Back in 1999, Spencer Gifts acquired Spirit Halloween. Spencer Gifts is a novelty store that you can find in a lot of malls. They do mail order and have those nifty gadgets and gifts you can't find just anywhere. I always used to remember them for posters, musician t-shirts, and lava lamps.  There are some great decorations at Spirit. I always love how freaky these things are. What they represent. Old horror tropes and stories that take shape in the screwed-up, twisted faces on the frightful la

Dying Light -- Will's Nintendo Switch Review

Image
It's been quite a while since I last immersed myself in the world of Dying Light. I originally played this gem on the PS4. There's a special place in my heart for the horror genre. As there is for video games. Both are a great escape from the insanity that is life. And horror brings you to the realization that sometimes life can be just that. Horrific.  Here enters Dying Light on the Switch.   As the sequel to this franchise has recently debuted on next-gen systems, its predecessor was released on the Switch not too long ago. Say what you will about Nintendo's system, to play these blockbuster games natively on a portable, and not through Playstation's remote play, is an amazing feat. I remember playing Dying Light on my Vita through Remote Play, and of course there was a hit in the graphics and frame rate department, so this looks leaps and bounds better than that experience--which was still great even for what it was. Everything I remember is here, and I could be wron
