Chasing Dreams

Well 2011 is off to good start so far.  I have officially completed my first self-published project.  It is a very unique book entitled "Corporate Liaison" and you can take a sneak peek here but definitely order your copy soon, Valentine's Day is right around the corner.  Corporate Liaison by Garfield Harry | Make Your Own Book This project was in the works for some time now, mainly because of the various creative elements that had to be blended together into a single cohesive venue.  First we have the actual story, which drives everything.

On  Wednesday officials in Kentucky reported the death of hundreds of birds that seem to fall out of the sky, for the SECOND time this week.  Sweden reported 50 jackdaw birds found in the streets of Stockholm and 50,000 dead crabs washed up on the shores of the UK.

Y eah so I thought my first blog of the year was going to be something profound and inspiring... naaaa... it's about James Bond. It dawned on me watching " Casino Royale " with Daniel Craig how the James Bond character is a physical manifestation of the male Id. Now just so we're on the same page, by Id I'm referring to that part of the personality that is pure and basic drive not guided by morals or societal rules like the ego or the super ego. It's the child in us all that just wants to take what we want without concern of consequence and is ruled by the " pleasure principle ", seeking to avoi d pain or unpleasure aroused by increases in instinctual tension. For anyone who has seen the Bond franchise this is not news but the last tw o Bond films, "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace" provides background to why the character behaves the way he does and more importantly it provides a glimpse into why men in genera...
