The only true measure of courage is perseverance under pressure.

I once asked him why he smoked the world's most expensive cigarette, and he told me it was because he was a man of wealth and taste, at least according to Mick Jagger.

The secret lies of manipulative folks, however hidden and cunningly twisted shall eventually come out. Never trust manipulative politically motivated, sly liars while they pretend to be "true friends" with noble and just cause. ~ Angelica Hopes, K.H. Trilogy

Move away from Machiavellian hearts. Manipulative people can frame you up even if you have a humble, simple and generous heart. Question their motive. ~ Angelica Hopes, K.H. Trilogy

People spread gossips, calumny, and false accusations to destroy their subject victim's integrity. Question the motive of people who erroneously, offensively, defensively, intrusively, abusively and intentionally brand you as a threat, a risk or a danger to life or security. ~ Angelica Hopes, K.H. Trilogy

Ya, Tuhan akukah insan yang bertanya-tanya? Ataukah aku Mukmin yang sudah tahu jawabnya? Kulihat tetes diriku dalam muntahan isi bumi Aduhai, akan ke manakah kiranya aku bergulir Di antara tumpukan maksiat yang kutimbun saat demi saat Akankah kulihat sezarah saja kebaikan yang pernah kubuat? Ya Tuhan, nafasku gemuruh, diburu firmanmu!

Pure honesty" is dead in a jungle of eternal, bloody impunity, rampant corruption and dirty politics. ~ Angelica Hopes, K.H. Trilogy

Cyber trolls' deceptive manipulative, political power play, duplicity and devious hypocrisy cannot equate to true friendship.~ Angelica Hopes, K.H. Trilogy

True understanding involves sincere honesty and holistic, deep listening without the political corruption of evil power players. ~ Angelica Hopes, an excerpt from my book K.H. trilogy

A few years ago, while visiting or, rather, rummaging about Notre-Dame, the author of this book found, in an obscure nook of one of the towers, the following word, engraved by hand upon the wall:— ANArKH.

In the soul of all liars, the unparalleled truth is a sickness. The unparalleled truth shall come out but first the liars will stretch their calumny. His past crimes shall haunt his heart. His evil ways shall torment his soul. The web of lies will fill up his brain cells. His secrets however hidden shall eventually come out. ~ Angelica Hopes, an excerpt from my K.H. Trilogy

Why croak with dishonesty when your target subject discovers, listens, and witnesses beyond the veil of your duplicity? Your proliferation of misinformation, disinformation, gossips, polemics, planted intrigues, lies, calumny, misjudgement, and all other forms of smear campaign, may deceive gullible hearts but you cannot destroy the unparalleled truth which is in the hands of your target victim. ~ Angelica Hopes, K.H. Trilogy

Security means the state of being free from danger or threat. Danger means the possibility of suffering harm or injury. The possibility of something unwelcome or unpleasant happening. There are times I have to stress as I express the correct, precise, real and honest definitions; so that the deceptive, politically motivated folks who destructively branded me as “threat to danger” would realise their double denial duplicity, dishonesty and hypocrisy. Have you at least questioned the personal motives and faulty malicious and intentional misjudgment or at least be honestly curious to discern the motive of a cunning person who warns you against another as a danger, a threat or a risk to life or security? Did the political harridan mean political threat to her political coalition or a danger to reveal the harridan's creative deception matched with her political ambitious power links? ~ Angelica Hopes, K.H. Trilogy

The unparalleled truth shall always outlive the lies. Goodness can prevail depending on the unwavering courage of those who hold the unparalleled truth. In a very corrupt culture, I am not so sure that justice can always prevail because the power lies on who is manipulating and who are being manipulated by the most powerful hand that can destroy you, kill you or spare your life. ~ Angelica Hopes, an excerpt from my K.H. Trilogy

I observe that many abusive netizens and insidious individuals kidnap the truth. Their hatred and calumny spread, feeding disinformations like daily toxic bread, feeding fallaciousness to the unread. ~ Angelica Hopes, K.H. Trilogy

In order to know something, you must go back to the source. You have to be critical and wise what are the original roots and not the corrupted outcome but in order to know the truth, you have to examine all angles, all sides, all possible traces of deception, the fortress of protection of hidden elements camouflaged with what it seemed overlapping masks along a river of clear or dirty water. The water flows in varying speed depending on the atmospheric factors and men’s interventions in using the flowing water however, the stone remains. Think of the truth: many would hide it, distort it, change it, bury it, or even destroy it but the uncorrupted truth, the unparalleled truth shall always come out. How do you seek the truth? When you seek for the truth, are you guided with an honest heart? Why do you seek the truth? Or, are you among those folks who prefer to hide or bury the truth thinking that the majority won’t find it out? If and when the truth comes out, are you among those persons who will target sacrificial lambs for scapegoats? It is wise to remember that the truth however hidden shall eventually come out. A Cameroonian proverb says, "Water always finds a way out." The same thing I can say about the truth: the truth however hidden shall eventually come out. The water flows, the stones remain. The lies flow, the truth remains. The truth thrives forever." ~ Angelica Hopes, an excerpt from K.H. Trilogy

As if grabbed by strong arms that were not there, he felt himself being lifted. Raising skyward and spinning, he fought to regain orientation. The winds were holding him and carrying him higher. Spinning him sickeningly, senses askew, his focus was being lost.

Non avrai le mie lacrime, non avrai la mia rabbia, non avrai neanche gocce d'oddio, non avrai i miei rimorsi, non avrai la mia porta aperta, ma ho sempre aperto l'orrizonte verso la verità e quella verità non c'è nelle tue mani, quella verità è il tuo incubo, quella verità è la tua tribulazione, quella verità è il tuo fallimento, quella verità è il tuo nemico, quella verita è il tuo veleno, quella verità è la tua fine. ~ Angelica Hopes, via dei pensieri belli #poesia © Ana Angelica Abaya van Doorn 2019 Introduzione del mio libro giallo, The K.H. Trilogy

Don't let cycles of violent crimes, uncontrollable, rising cases of bloody impunity, evil puppets in a crippled judiciary, marionettes in a corrupted legislative system manipulated by a fascist executive system and its annihilative corruption be the incurable epidemics of the disintegration of the environmental, emotional, social, intellectual, physical, professional, occupational, moral and ethical destruction of your homeland. ~ Angelica Hopes, K.H. Trilogy

Madame Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society of the era in Berlin, New York and India were in constant touch with Maria Orsic. Early writers of the Theosophical movement corresponded with her, and some Theosophists linguists offered her their linguistic expertise. It was a well-known fact in the metaphysical and spiritualism circles of the time, that one of Blavatsky’s associates who was an expert linguist in Hebrew, Phoenician and Sumerian took a leading part in the translation and explanation of the extraterrestrial messages Maria received in an unknown language, later to be revealed a  dead language of the Middle East which contained Ugaritic, Phoenician, Akkadian and Sumerian scripts; some passages were written  in cuneiform, and others in a script almost similar to the Byblos Script, and Ana’kh, a language the Anunnaki used to communicate with the early Mesopotamians and Phoenicians.

They rarely look at Baba -- the teenagers -- and then only with cold indifference, or even subtle disdain, as if my father should have known better than to allow old age and decay to happen to him.

Try picking on someone who can handle you, you worthless little limp dick of a shit." In retrospect I could have picked my taunts a little better. Obviously, the Horned God was very sensitive about his equipment.

One who knows nothing, can understand nothing...

It's about time you learned what real hurt feels like!

Even after locking you away, here you are, haunting me again.

This could have been the other way around...

Beautiful world, isn't it? Almost like a dream...

Aren't hearts great? Steer us wrong every time.

1986年夏，苏霍伊设计局完成了T10-24验证机的改装工作，该机也是第一架装有鸭翼的苏-27K验证机。但是T10-24仅仅在“尼特卡”完成了6个架次试飞后就于1987年1月20日坠毁，试飞员普奇科夫跳伞逃生。由于T10-24意外坠毁，该机的大部分试飞任务改由双座型T10U-2来完成。 第一架真正的原型机T10K-1于1987年4月完成总装。该机其实是由苏-27原型机T10-37改装而成。1987年5月22日该机进行首次高速滑行试验。在地面试验中该机出现了一些技术问题，试飞进度延后达2个月。1987年8月17日，著名试飞员普加乔夫驾驶T10K-1完成首飞，这一天也被视作苏-33的首飞日。1987年9月8日，T10K-1在“尼特卡”开始进行飞行试验。1987年12月12日，T10K-1返回莫斯科进行检修，至此T10K-1完成了241架次飞行试验。 在T10K-1进行试飞的同时，苏霍伊设计局于1987年11月29日制成了第二架原型机T10K-2。该机是由苏-27原型机T10-39改装而成。1987年12月22日，T10K-2完成首飞。与第一架原型机T10K-1相比，T10K-2装有适合海上飞行的航空电子设备。1988年4月，T10K-2开始在“尼特卡”进行飞行试验。利用这个时机，T10K-1返回莫斯科改装可折叠机翼，于1988年8月完成改装。1988年9月，T10K-1重返“尼特卡”进行试飞。但是在1988年9月27日，T10K-1在试飞中坠毁，试飞员加登内斯在弹射跳伞时脊椎严重受伤，只得结束了飞行生涯。这次事故导致T10K-2承担了大部分重点试飞科目。1989年春，T10K-2也返回莫斯科改装折叠机翼。1989年6月，T10K-2在库宾卡空军基地向戈尔巴乔夫进行汇报展示。1989年8月至9月，T10K-2在克里米亚的多个机场完成了一系列试飞。至1989年10月初，T10K-2完成了多达479架次试飞。试飞员对T10K-2的试飞情况给予了高度评价： 验证了飞机的强度、稳定性和操纵特点； 验证了飞机的机动性和加速性； 验证了飞机的起降性能，包括滑跃起飞、拦阻着舰能力，尤其是确定了最大起飞重量和最大着陆重量； 验证了空中受油能力； 验证了海上飞行能力； 验证了机载导航系统与航母导航系统的兼容性。 上述试飞结果证明，T10K-2具备了上舰试飞的条件。 1989年11月1日，试飞员普加乔夫驾驶T10K-2在“第比利斯”号（后改名“库兹涅佐夫”号）航母上进行了苏联第一次航母拦阻着舰试验。苏-27K的国家验收试验于1991年至1994年间进行。1993年4月，共青城飞机生产联合体向俄罗斯海军第279舰载战斗机团交付了第一批生产型苏-27K。至1994年8月共交付24架。1998年8月31日，俄罗斯总统叶利钦正式签署命令将该机定型为苏-33。 与苏-27相比，苏-33增加了一对前置鸭翼并缩短了尾锥，机翼和水平尾翼改为可折叠式，增加空中受油装置和着舰钩。为了适应在航母上起降的需要，苏-33的机体结构进行了加强，导致该机的结构重量增加，飞行性能下降：最大速度为2.17马赫（苏-27为2.35马赫），最大航程3000千米（苏-27为3500千米）。苏-33的固定武器为1门30毫米机炮，有12个外部挂架，可携带R-73近距空空导弹、R-27中距空空导弹、Kh-41反舰导弹（仅出现在莫斯科航展地面展示中），以及各种炸弹和火箭弹，最大载弹量6500千克。 苏-33的机体结构与苏-27基本相同，只是为了满足采用拦阻着舰时的纵向过载，对苏-33机身主要承力结构和起落架进行了加强，并且改用了双前轮。主起落架可以承受着舰时6∼7米／秒的下沉率。着舰钩安装在经过强化的中央桁梁上，为保证飞机在大迎角状态下在舰上起降的安全性，缩短了尾锥的长度。 在“库兹涅佐夫”号航母上降落中的苏-33舰载战斗机。 在“库兹涅佐夫”号航母甲板上系留的苏-33舰载战斗机。该机的机翼已经折叠。 苏-33机翼部分改动较大，增加了主翼的面积，把苏-27的整体式襟翼改为双开缝增升襟翼，提高了苏-33的机翼升力。在外翼内侧的2块双开缝增升襟翼之间的位置上安装有机翼折叠机构，通过折叠机构把机翼分为固定段和折叠段两部分，并通过安装在机翼折叠机构开缝处后段的液压做动筒来控制机翼的展开和折叠。 该机的水平尾翼为了适应航母上的空间限制，也设置有折叠机构，可以与主翼一起折叠。而且主翼和水平尾翼折叠后的宽度相同，此外苏-33的空速管和尾锥也可以折叠，进一步减少了苏-33在航空母舰甲板上的停放面积，增加了战机容量。必要时，苏-33的机头雷达罩也可以进行折叠。 苏-33采用了苏-27的AL-31F发动机改进型，在不改动结构的情况下，通过改进发动机控制系统来增加推力。苏-33在舰上起飞的最大重量达到32吨（极限起飞重量，有一定风险），最大有效载荷达到8000千克左右。但是由于缺少弹射器，苏-33正常的滑跃起飞重量为25-28吨，无法达到地面起飞时的最大重量——33吨，这就意味着苏-33在航母起飞时无法实现其全部作战能力。 苏-33的雷达和主要电子系统与苏-27基本相同。其雷达采用了苏-27的N001雷达的改进型N001K，重点提高了对水面目标的探测能力。在对空作战中苏-33可以使用中距离空空导弹来进行截击作战或者使用短距离导弹来进行空中格斗，在对海上目标作战时主要使用常规炸弹和火箭弹来攻击水面目标。

米格-29K舰载战斗机 20世纪70年代末，苏联海军要求米格设计局研制一种固定翼舰载战斗机，以便部署在正在研制中的1143.5型大型航空母舰上。1978年，米格设计局正式立项研制米格-29K舰载战斗机。由于米格-23K舰载战斗机未能完成研制，因而米格-29K继承了米格-23K的研制代号——“旋风”。当时米格设计局已经展开了为空军而研制的改进型第四代战斗机米格-29M（内部代号9.15）。于是，米格设计局决定在米格-29M基础上研制舰载型米格-29K（内部代号9.31）。 为了适应在海上使用的需要，该机加大了机翼面积，将机翼改为可折叠式，安装了着舰钩和空中受油管，起落架和机体机构也进行了加强。全机还进行了防腐蚀处理。米格-29K的武器系统也进行了较大改进，采用了新型“甲虫”多功能雷达，并且可以使用新型R-77空对空导弹、Kh-31A超音速反舰导弹、Kh-35亚音速反舰导弹、Kh-29空对地导弹等先进制导武器。 米格-29K舰载战斗机侧视图，高飞绘图。 出厂时的米格-29K舰载战斗机原型机。 1988年7月23日，著名试飞员奥巴科罗夫驾驶米格-29K进行了首次试飞。1989年11月1日，奥巴科罗夫驾驶米格-29K成功地降落在“第比利斯”号（后改名为“库兹涅佐夫”号）上。此后米格-29K的试飞进展顺利，苏联海军准备为每艘1143.5型航空母舰配备28架米格-29K和18架苏-33。但是随着苏联解体，俄罗斯海军在1992年放弃了采购米格-29K的计划，以便将有限的经费集中到苏-33的研制上去。 但是米格设计局并没有放弃米格-29K的研制计划。米格设计局坚持认为米格-29K的体型较小、价格低廉，更加适合在航空母舰上使用。为此，米格设计局积极向国外推销米格-29K，最终获得了印度海军的青睐。 米格-29K舰载战斗机在“第比利斯”号（后改名为“库兹涅佐夫”号）上进行测试，摄于1989年。 飞行中放下着舰钩的米格-29K舰载战斗机。 莫斯科航展中的米格-29K舰载战斗机。 米格-29K/KUB舰载战斗机 由于米格公司坚持不懈地推销米格-29K（内部代号9.31）舰载战斗机，到1999年该机终于引起了印度海军的兴趣。但是印度海军认为该机的技术水平已经落后，需要进行较大的改进，于是米格公司立即启动了新一代舰载型米格-29的计划，其中单座型仍称为米格-29K（内部代号9.41），双座型称为米格-29KUB（内部代号9.47）。 此时的米格-29K/KUB已经被定位为多功能战斗机，能够完成空战、对地攻击、对海攻击、战术侦察等多种任务。尤其是米格-29KUB还兼有教练机的功能，可以为客户培训舰载机飞行员，因而米格-29KUB的研制获得了优先权。当时米格公司还在研制新一代的米格-29M2和米格-35战斗机，并在这两个型号上应用了大量最新航空技术。米格-29K/KUB自然就采用了米格-29M2和米格-35战斗机的电子设备、武器系统和机体结构，被西方视为米格-29M2和米格-35的舰载型。特别值得注意的是，新一代米格-29K/KUB应用了低可探测技术（隐身技术）。机体大量应用雷达吸波材料，雷达信号特征仅是基本型米格-29的1/4至1/5。 米格-29KUB舰载战斗机侧视图，高飞绘图。 米格-29K/KUB装备了“甲虫ME”多功能有源相控阵雷达，对于雷达反射截面为5平方米的空中目标搜索距离达到120千米，能同时跟踪10个空中目标，并对其中4个目标进行导弹攻击。“甲虫ME”雷达还具有对地、对海探测模式，可以探测120千米外的桥梁和300千米外的驱逐舰。米格-29K/KUB的载弹量达到5500千克，8个武器挂架（共9个挂架）可以挂载各种俄制空对空导弹、空对地导弹、反舰导弹、精确制导炸弹等现代化机载武器。该机还能挂载战术侦察吊舱成为战术侦察机，或挂载空中加油吊舱成为空中加油机。 莫斯科航展中的米格-29KUB战斗机原型机。 飞行中的米格-29KUB原型机。 2004年1月20日，印度海军与米格公司签订合同，订购了首批4架米格-29KUB和12架米格-29K。2007年1月20日，米格-29KUB在俄罗斯茹科夫斯基试飞中心进行了首飞。2009年9月28日至29日，该机在“库兹涅佐夫”号航空母舰上进行起降测试。2009年12月4日，首批4架米格-29KUB散件运抵印度，这批飞机将由印度斯坦航空公司完成装配后交付印度海军。2010年1月，印度与俄罗斯政府达成协议，印度出资12亿美元增购29架米格-29K/KUB。 2010年2月19日，首批4架米格-29KUB正式加入印度海军服役。2010年6月，俄罗斯北方机械制造厂对正在改装中的印度“维克拉马迪亚”号航空母舰进行了舰载机兼容性测试。参加试验的是1架苏联时期制造的早期型米格-29K原型机和1架米格-29K全尺寸模型。2011年5月，第二批5架米格-29K/KUB和飞行模拟器交付印度海军。首次订购的剩余飞机将在2012年交付。按照印度海军的计划，由俄罗斯改装的“维克拉马迪亚”号航空母舰将在2013年服役，该舰将装备24架米格-29K/KUB。印度正在建造中的国产航母“维克兰特”号也将装备米格-29K/KUB。 2011年6月23日，1架机号为947的米格-29KUB在俄罗斯坠毁。机上两名俄罗斯试飞员丧生。事故发生后，印度国防部临时冻结了米格-29K/KUB采购项目。而俄罗斯方面表示，事故原因是飞行员操作失误。2011年8月，印度国防部同意继续执行米格-29K/KUB采购合同。第二次订购的29架米格-29K/KUB将于2012年开始交货。 由于米格-29K/KUB具有相控阵雷达、数字化座舱和多用途能力，俄罗斯海军认为米格-29K/KUB的综合作战能力已经优于苏-33。目前俄罗斯海军的苏-33战斗机的寿命将要耗尽，预计于2015年退役。俄罗斯海军希望以印度型米格-29K/KUB作为替代机型，计划采购24架部署在“库兹涅佐夫”号航空母舰上。米格公司和俄罗斯国防部于2009年底开始了米格-29K/KUB的采购合同谈判。米格公司建议俄罗斯国防部采购的米格-29K/KUB采用与印度海军型相同的配置，这样可以节省研制和生产费用。按照米格公司的计算，24架米格-29K/KUB的总费用为10亿美元。但是俄罗斯国防部认为报价偏高，双方从2011年8月起开始了“最后阶段”的谈判。 米格-29KUB舰载战斗机在“库兹涅佐夫”号航母上进行模拟降落试验。 印度海军涂装的米格-29KUB舰载战斗机在莫斯科航展展出。

KH: My new novel, Night Road,

Recently, two target satellites were launched from Jiuquan. The test attacks by Red Coast were completely successful. Temperature inside the satellites reached nearly a thousand degrees, and all instruments and photographic equipment onboard were destroyed. In future wars, Red Coast can effectively strike at the enemy’s communication and reconnaissance satellites, like the KH-8 spy satellites on which the American Imperialists rely, as well as the KH-9, which are about to be launched. The lower-orbit spy satellites of the Soviet Revisionists are even more vulnerable. If necessary, we even have the capacity to destroy the Salyut space station of the Soviet Revisionists and the Skylab station that American Imperialists plan on launching next year.

KH Khorshid stopped the President of Pakistan Ayub Khan at the place of Mangla in 1960 and said that from here onwards I am in the President, drove his car ahead and said Ayub Sahib, take off the flag, gave the flag of Kashmir from his car and said follow me It is my state from here on, that I am its head, this thing is a part of history.

The “F Word” My cousin’s name, Farbod, means “Greatness.” When he moved to America, all the kids called him “Farthead.” My brother Farshid (“He Who Enlightens”) became “Fartshit.” The name of my friend Neggar means “Beloved,” although it can be more accurately translated as “She Whose Name Almost Incites Riots.” Her brother Arash (“Giver”) initially couldn’t understand why every time he’d say his name, people would laugh and ask him if it itched. All of us immigrants knew that moving to America would be fraught with challenges, but none of us thought that our names would be such an obstacle. How could our parents have ever imagined that someday we would end up in a country where monosyllabic names reign supreme, a land where “William” is shortened to “Bill,” where “Susan” becomes “Sue,” and “Richard” somehow evolves into “Dick”? America is a great country, but nobody without a mask and a cape has a z in his name. And have Americans ever realized the great scope of the guttural sounds they’re missing? Okay, so it has to do with linguistic roots, but I do believe this would be a richer country if all Americans could do a little tongue aerobics and learn to pronounce “kh,” a sound more commonly associated in this culture

Meenoo decided this was a good moment to remind his human staff that he was missing something in his life. Eileen and Katy's eyes were on each other when Meenoo jumped up onto the table, giving them both a start. He went to Eileen and put his left front paw on the paper she was holding in her hand, lowering it to the table: He'd chosen which human was going to have the privilege of feeding him. “Frickin' fleabag”, muttered Eileen. Katy tried to conceal a smile. “Ah, but you're so cute”, said Eileen, rubbing him under his chin.

She will leave me. It’s six AM. Breakfast for one. Eggs, sunny-side-up, like the morning outside; two-cheese English muffin, melting in the toaster oven; already humid outside; coffee will be a little bitter today, no matter how much sweetener gets put in it. The OJ will stay in the fridge – my stomach can do without the citric acid bombardment this morning. She will pack her things and leave me. Coffee brews. Radio station plays then breaks from classical music, telling me what's already evident about the weather. She will complain that she cannot get along with me. Eggs pop and sizzle as the news comes on.

He hit a local café just one street over and down from his place, ordered a coffee, and tried to draw something on a sketchpad. Nothing came to mind. Time passed more quickly than he'd imagined. On taking a sip of his coffee, he wondered if he should’ve cut to the chase and ordered iced coffee in the first place. He felt restless all of a sudden. “Down to the beach!

She put the letter down on the table, choosing to ignore it. After three seconds, she glanced at the letter and picked it up again, re-reading it and giving the event a bit more thought. She smiled little-wicked before putting it back in her bag. The Eventual Novelist looked directly at her, bee-lined to her table, stopped stock-still, and said, “Whatever it is, don't be like me and put it off”, before scurrying back to his table to do whatever he was doing before. Seanna decided that it was to time to drink up and go home.

Off to the immediate left of the garage was a dead-end road down where the parents of one of her exes lived. She wondered if Aidan had returned at any point, perhaps, like her, even to boomerang home for a bit. She also wondered if she was projecting. “Probably nowhere near Hatzquiam.” If she had been curious enough about passing by Aidan's parents' place, then it must have been brief enough that she decided, like waiting for Vince to show up, that it wasn't worth the time. Being curious was fine, but she didn't feel like venturing down a dead-end road.

They talked about this novelty called “e-mail” and the Pine System, only available at institutes of higher learning and some libraries. Marcus got his first e-mail address recently but Aidan had gotten his three years earlier, so Marcus considered Aidan “a veteran”. Marcus mentioned that his college had warned its students that e-mail was for “research purposes only”. “Yeah, we all laughed at that, too”, quipped Aidan. “But just a word of warning: Don't get too much into newsgroups or IRC, or you'll wonder where the last 24 hours went.” “What’s “IRC’?” “’Internet Relay Chat’. It’ll be the end of us all”, joked Aidan.

You are not yourself in autobiography. It is never going to be you, it is only words on a page. Memories are unreliable, so adding the magic of imagination will make your story come alive.

The quintessential thing to remember is no matter how good of a writer and storyteller you are, you are going to piss off someone somewhere.
