The Philosophy Of Will
My new 6 scene miniplay is a Biblical based work that I worked out based on the question about faith that puzzles me the most. What is free will? How the concept seems to so different from Jehovah's and Satan's perspective. Whether it is real or not? Whether it is a good thing or not? The play is these ideas being talked out in my head assigning the thoughts to what I think is God's and Satan's point of view and resolving within myself how I really feel about the issue as far as I can understand it.

New TV Show Idea: Bible Tested
This idea for a tv show is for the History Channel specifically and it's called Bible Tested. It's about putting extraordinary Biblical texts (Old and New Testament the canonical 66 books) into context and figured what is meant by the writings and seeing if there is literal truth or a symbolic meaning and seeing the truth that was meant to be seen in the Holy Scriptures. For example a first season guide:
1) The Flood- look into the measurements of the Ark see if it was practical in making and also in surviving a world deluge based on the material and structure of it described in the Bible and whether the ancestral parents of all Earth's land animals could fit inside.
2) The Ark Of The Covenant- looking into what this key structure of the Old Testament would look like and what was it's functional and symbolic significance the meaning of the colored threads, gold bearrings stones and recurrent numeric themes
3) The Garden Of Eden- looking into where it would have likely been by the 4 rivers and where they meet up testing the geologically and geographically location of it while contemplating whether it was before or after the continents drift. Whether a debate over Asia, Africa or Europe being the birth of civilization would make sense if the Garden only existed on the super continent Pangaea
4) City of Sodom- contemplating where it was and what happened and what were the specific sins that supposedly destroyed including how it originated the term Sodomy and what its original meaning was as well as understanding it's accusations of pedophilia, rape, bestiality, xenophobia and a cruel violent militia
5) The Whale Of Jonah- understanding the probability of a whale being in the Mediterranean Sea during a storm that would swallow Jonah and carry him 3 days before throwing him up and why would Nineveh scare Jonah that much and why it would it end up being forgiven by God
6) The Writing On The Wall- looking at how Biblical history and secular history collided at the Persians taking over Babylon in a single night and whether they match up reliably
7) The Genesis- looking into the sequence of the Creation Account and whether it agrees with what science describes as the beginning of Earthly life and whether the Account is literal or symbolic in the term "days"
8) The World Of Isaiah- Looking at what the world under the Prince of Peace would mean and whether heavenly or earthly and whether real or symbolic specifically the texts of "beat their swords into plowshares" "no resident will say I am sick" "the lamb shall lie down with the lion" "He did not create it merely for nothing"
9) The Four Horsemen- looking into what are the details of the End and seeing whether it is an End or a New Beginning taking a historical and sociological view of how the first horseman would lead to the next and what this implies about future events and how they would differ from other catastrophes or whether it would go by at first undetected
10) The Day The Sun Stood Still- is there an astronomical account of an extended Earth day or whether this could happen and why does it say the Sun stood still when it always does was it ignorance or simplified metaphor for current civilization's own understanding.
11) The Matriarchal Line- looking at the female ancestral line of Jesus and why such women were part of the lineage of the Divine Seed; Sarah, Rebekah, Leah, Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and Mary
12) The Circumcision- What was it's significance and was it self-mutilation or a medical procedure
13) The Kosher Diet- looking at its practicality and whether it was knowable to any other civilization at the time and whether it is an overall truly above average dietary law
14) Blood Fire and Water- What Judaic law had to say about hygiene and how it was practical and how it predated Hippocrates' theories which would confirm it's law
1) The Flood- look into the measurements of the Ark see if it was practical in making and also in surviving a world deluge based on the material and structure of it described in the Bible and whether the ancestral parents of all Earth's land animals could fit inside.

No Offense Taken "Annual Contracts"
(a national reservation park office with the head of human resources and a worker)
Mr. Milton: Hello Ahmed
Ahmed: Hi Mr. Milton, what is it you wanted to talk to me about? Pardon the informality I'm just nervous because I heard this wasn't going to go well.
Mr. Milton: Probably. The reason why I called you in is because of your annual contracts you have to sign to continue working in a government funded enterprise.
Ahmed: Yes I signed it.

Movie Idea: My Father The...
Title: My Father The...
Genre: Dramatic Action
Plot: A father and spy (Jason Moon) is thought to be killed during espionage work according to enemies in North Korea. The North Koreans report him as dead to the country's media outlets outing him as an example of their mission's success even though they know no absolute proof he is for a fact dead. The American government discreetly tells his wife that her husband may be alive but they cannot leak out that information because if they can find him before the Koreans they'll need the information he got. So the mother is instructed to raise her 2 year old son to believe his father walked out on them if he is still missing but not confirmed dead as he gets older. He can only know the truth if he makes it home or is confirmed dead. The father Harold Jackson did survive the assassination attempt by blowing up the building he was in before the Koreans did from the other end of the building less weaker explosives causing the building to fall down in a dynamo effect which the Koreans wouldn't notice because the screen in which they see the detonation can only shown an explosion of some relative strength went off assuming it was the back end of the explosion which has weaker force rather than thinking it was the initial point of a weaker explosion. Having survived Harold now realizes what the CIA would do in this scenario giving similar situations he saw in training and initiation. Not wanting his young son to grow up with the scars of thinking he was abandoned he decides to do the radical thing and not try to cross Korean borders to another country's American embassy or contact a meeting to be pick up there by radio signals. Instead he boards a boat deporting Koreans into human trafficking to a different parts of America some will be sent to places from California to Maine from an undisclosed port in the Pacific Coast. From there he will find his way home to Annapolis, Maryland. However trying to escape pass the human traffickers he noticed and simply shot and discarded as unknown unwilling slave with no background check obviously, thus leaving him to die a more humiliating anonymous death and a family that doesn't know the truth.

The Cat Connection
In your wild eyes I see my reflection
My dreams of freedom and protection
You have achieved a life of perfection
Yet you still seek out our affection
Thus no ulterior motives in our connection
You and me live free and love free
Simply for the joy of each other's company
Only for matters of the heart do I need you or you need me
And yet this is the secret of our compatibility
Two solos merging a duet harmoniously
Delusions Of Fantasy
If you pay a fee
To indulge in a fantasy
Keep a little mystery
Don't look for intimacy
It's only suppose to feel not be perfect
But getting too close you'll find a defect
Something that makes the situation seem suspect
Conflict & Domination
Whites who don't support the whites are called traitors
But blacks who don't betray their own are called white haters
A man supporting his wife is called henpecked
But a woman who raises doubts is regarded as unchecked
Anyone can choose polytheism, monotheism or atheism
As long as the principles don't contradict with militant patriotism
It just seems like the conflict isn't man against man
It is just a matter of domination of the other man
In your wild eyes I see my reflection
My dreams of freedom and protection
You have achieved a life of perfection
Yet you still seek out our affection
Thus no ulterior motives in our connection
You and me live free and love free
Simply for the joy of each other's company
Only for matters of the heart do I need you or you need me
And yet this is the secret of our compatibility
Two solos merging a duet harmoniously
Delusions Of Fantasy
If you pay a fee
To indulge in a fantasy
Keep a little mystery
Don't look for intimacy
It's only suppose to feel not be perfect
But getting too close you'll find a defect
Something that makes the situation seem suspect

Kohl's Lingerie Model
Beautiful in a way
That's too subtle to say
Your smile could mean a million different things
Wondering if you understand the desire it brings
You look like the every girl next door
But somehow unlike any I've seen before
You have a look that is its own trend
As you look like the ultimate girlfriend
Your natural beauty playing tricks on my mind
Wondering how a beauty so natural be so hard to find
The End
Bulging gut and atrocious teeth
Not much to hide the frail psyche underneath
Alone stewing in my own insecurities
No gifts of golden opportunities
Shameful inside and out
A will succumbed to doubt
Reflections Of Temptation
Deep inside I know I'm no good
Even with knowledge I don't do as I should
Maybe fleshly intimidation
Hinders my spiritual meditation
That I actually know is true
But it doesn't make a defense easy to do

Don Quixote's Blues
Why do I believe every cliché
Like truth will prevail and love will find a way
It only fertilizes my cynicism every day
And each day it's chances passes ever more away
If believing against reality makes one insane
Then idealism is the world's greatest pain
Because it works on what isn't there to maintain
While you're not able to make yourself sustain
Ode To The Madness That Brings Suicide
Suicide comes when pain has no relief
And when one dies it spreads a fire of grief
As one questions life there comes disbelief
So much damage in a time so brief
Because suicide's contagious
It robs us of life's stages
Expurgates life's pages
Bringing madness to wise sages
Shallow Heart
Mirror Mirror On the wall
Can you make this judgment call
Mirror Mirror tell me what is true
Tell me what I'm suppose to do
I have no conscience of my own
I'm only right if I'm not alone
I cannot make it or pull it through
Every situation appears brand new
Shallow Shallow Heart I must disown
Shallow Shallow are your ways prone
Why do I believe every cliché
Like truth will prevail and love will find a way
It only fertilizes my cynicism every day
And each day it's chances passes ever more away
If believing against reality makes one insane
Then idealism is the world's greatest pain
Because it works on what isn't there to maintain
While you're not able to make yourself sustain
Ode To The Madness That Brings Suicide
Suicide comes when pain has no relief
And when one dies it spreads a fire of grief
As one questions life there comes disbelief
So much damage in a time so brief
Because suicide's contagious
It robs us of life's stages
Expurgates life's pages
Bringing madness to wise sages
Shallow Heart
Mirror Mirror On the wall
Can you make this judgment call
Mirror Mirror tell me what is true
Tell me what I'm suppose to do
I have no conscience of my own
I'm only right if I'm not alone
I cannot make it or pull it through
Every situation appears brand new
Shallow Shallow Heart I must disown
Shallow Shallow are your ways prone
