Here Is A Sampling Of The Book Stuff We Will Do

Here's a taste of what we will be doing for the book segment of the podcast. I have had a few short stories and poems published over the years nothing serious but here you go with one such poem. Written for The Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans 1998 edition. That was while I was still in school and forced to be a Christian. I am now an Atheist so for the parts about religion are void now but the other stuff is true. I still believe no matter who you are you can still be a nice person and I try to every day. Enjoy

The Magic Of Christmas

Christmas is the most magical time of year,
A season full of warm wishes and good cheer.

Christmas is a celebration of Christ's birth,
A reminder of what we are all worth.

Even Though Christmas comes but once a year,
The message it sends is really quite clear.

The spirit of Christmas should always be alive,
Not only when Christmas is to arrive.

The homeless can go to a shelter for company and food,
Hopefully this will put them in a Christmas mood.

Carolers rejoice in song,
Letting us know where we belong.

The lighting of the tree is a Christmas tradition,
Which can coincide with giving to the missions.

People exchange gifts as a symbol of love,
For each one here and the One above.

Christmas Eve Mass is special to me,
Receiving Christ fills me with glee.

Kids give Santa their list of wishes,
And also get lot hugs and kisses.

Children eagerly wait for St. Nick to arrive,
To bring a present or maybe four or five.

Christmas isn't about getting what we desire,
But the giving of ourselves to the one much Higher.

Believing without seeing can be a problem for some,
But for others the mystery is half the fun.

It's Time

Hey guys and gals out there in internet land. I know It has been awhile since my last post. Over this past year some things have come up. We are back and stronger than ever. My original 2 co-host of Voices are back and we are trucking along. From the first 4 show that we put out you gave us some good feedback. We are planning on going in a fairly similar direction as before. We plan on having 1 show devoted to talking about Social and Economical things affecting our lives as 18-30 yr old's. The show will be called Voices of Our Generation.

We also plan on having another show focusing on Movies and Music and other forms of releveant media. It will be called Media Masters our Voices from the Street. let us know what you think sounds better. Who out here doesn't love live music. If everything goes as planned we plan on from time to time having band spotlights were we will go around to different venues around the city and record live music and interview the band our musician playing the music. It could be anyone from a band playing in a cafe to a solo saxophonist out on the streets playing because he loves it. We will also review music we like and new music as it comes out. We will also cover new and old movies we love.

Our 3rd show will be all about Books and Cooking. Haven't come up with a name for it yet maybe Voices From The Home We will talk about our love for good books. A book can take wherever you want to go all you have to do is imagine it. Anyone out there that loves books it is your duty to watch and read Inkheart one of the best movies out there. We will from time to time go to local poetry reading our ask a certain writer in our city to read us a little something they have written. Who knows we may even regall you with a story our 2 of our own. We will also give you recipies and tell you how to cook them. That episode will have a bonus download our youtube video where you can actually see us cook what we are talking about we will have guest on from time to time sharing recipies.

The 4th and final show we will have will be about Gaming and retro stuff. Current games our games from back then. Things from the late 70's 80's and 90's. If there is something you would like to hear about our hear us discuss with any show let us know. We still haven't found a perfect name for shows 2-4 so any suggestions would be welcome. We plan on putting 1 show out a week starting with Voices Of Our Generation the 1st week Voices From The Street the 2nd and so on.

We are also looking for a 4th co-host to help anchor the show we had a 4th co-host but due to getting pregnant She will not be able to be on. So if you are someone who is knowlegable about polotics all opinions are welcome. Our if you know some about books food music movies our games drop me a line at Thinkinggames@live.com and we can talk some more.
