Using the word "Maybe" to tease is a crime.

Personally I'm okay with most people and their behaviors. However, what really annoys me sometimes is the word "Maybe" and the phrase "Maybe your right". I mostly cant take it when a guy says the latter part. I'm not sure why but it feels as if their challenging my intelligence or just teasing me.

"Did you know that people breath air?", I said.

"Hmmm, maybe your right…."

or

"Do you think we can go out to eat?

"Maybe..."

"Awww that sucks..."

Oh and another one is, "suppose" and "I suppose your right"


"Did you know that Earth has gravity?"

"Hmmm, I suppose your right"


Well, maybe the latter part is forgivable. I mean really, gravity might not exist on Earth. Everything we learned in school might all have been lies. You never know.

'Star Wars' my eyes love this movie

Its an underdog story and a redemption story at the same time.

A young Pilot not learns about an an ancient order created to keep pecies throughout the galaxy and becomes the last Jedi to take down a horrible emperor.

It's funny because this movie came out so long ago before I was born and was such a huge hit. I didn't get a chance to see it until I was a teenager in early 2000s. Whats amazing the most about this movie experience above all others, is before I saw the movie no one told me anything about the plot. Nothing at all.

Whenever I asked about the movie fans would just tell me that it was "amazing and I needed to see it".

I would reply, "Can I at least get some sound clips or or a hint?"

"Nope nothing, you need to see it"

And when I finally saw it was amazing. It was one of the best Science Fiction movies I had ever seen in my life.

The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede

Summary

"Dealing with Dragons" introduces Princess Cimorene, youngest daughter of the king of Linderwall. Like most medieval tomboys, Cimorene is considered rough, unseemly and stubborn -- she wants to fight with swords and learn magic. On the advice from a magic frog, she goes out in search of a dragon to
be housekeeper for. But when she's not sending away valiant knights, she's dealing with some very troublesome wizards...

"Searching For Dragons" picks up when the dragon Kazul goes mysteriously missing. Cimorene is, unsurprisingly, very concerned about this and wants to find her. Enter Mendanbar, a young king as unconventional as Cimorene -- not to mention in need of a wife. But even though he goes along to find Kazul, with wizards and laughter all around, he'll find that he's much more interested in Cimorene.

"Calling on Dragons" skips ahead to when Cimorene and Mendanbar are mrried, and Queen Cimorene is pregnant. All is right, right? Wrong. Magic is vanishing in the Enchanted Forest; the king's sword has been stolen. To combat the troublesome wizards, Morwen the witch teams up with Cimorene, Kazul, Telemain the Magician, and a rabbit called Killer.

"Talking to Dragons" skips ahead even further, to when Daystar is sent off by his mom Cimorene with only a magic sword. Poor kid -- he has to help King Mendanbar escape from an evil wizard's spell, without knowing that Mendanbar is his father. He teams up with a hot-tempered firewitch, Shiara, a dragon, a lizard, and a rather annoying princess. Can Daystar clue in before all is lost?

Review/Comments

When I found these books I had a set idea of how fantasy was supposed to be written. There would be a princess that would need to be saved from dragon and a prince that would save her. Or if it follows Arthurian tales, it would be filled with great hope and later betrayal and tragedy. The enchanted forest chronicles would shatter all those myths. I got a better understanding that fantasy standards could be broken to create something fun and remarkable. Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl series would follow Werde’s example of creating worlds based on fantasy/folk myths and adding their own essence to the genre.

I’m a big fan of web 2.0 and how its capable of making life easier. I love comics but I don’t have the time to keep up with new releases. For years now I’ve stopped going to comic book stores and started using Amazon.com to find new reading material. Unfortunately, Amazon can be biased to what material I find. On comiXology all the big titles are fed when they are released and I can find new comics to read “pull them onto a list” or purchase right then and there.
