Brexit: All You Need to Know + Thoughts From an Outsider



Yes, the Welsh flag. Brexit happened, and it's not just England that got affected: the entire UK (as it's presently known)  is affected. That's right: the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish. I chose the Welsh flag to show that it's not just England.

So, I'm dong up this post because I saw an article I saw on BBC I wanted to share with my readers, whether or not they live in the UK. Well, especially if they live in the UK. It can be found here: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-32810887?ocid=socialflow_facebook&ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_source=facebook

And also: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36619817?ocid=socialflow_facebook&ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_source=facebook

Look, I don't want to piss anyone off on my blog. My intent is to inform, and entertain. Something sensitive like politics, I usually tend not to dabble in due to extreme opinions of others. After a momentous event such as Brexit, I saw an article saying "everything you need to know."

I live in Canada, so I don't know first-hand if the UK leaving Europe is a good thing or not. Maybe it's bad. Maybe change is good. Either way, things will definitely change in the future. Will there be a second ref.? Will Scotland go independant because of this? Will there be a United Ireland, in our out the UK?

I love the UK, I really do. I definitely need to go back, and on my second trip I'd like to see more of Scotland and Wales. I'll wait until 'the dust settles', though.

In the end, all I ask of you, whether or not you live in the UK, is when it comes to vote for anything; make an informed decision. Do your research. Weigh the pros and cons of your intended checkmark. You can make a difference. And, if you don't vote (and are able to) you don't have a right to complain. "Oh I should have voted for X!" "Why Did I vote for Y....?"

As you say in the UK, "Keep Calm and Carry On."

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
