Write a Facebook status update for year 2017:

     The way we see things, with doubt and fear, are no longer thought like that. The world used to be a scary and dangerous place. Those thoughts are like little baby kittens now. No one believed me when I told them to be blessed with what you had because one day, sooner than we thought, it would all slip away.
     The talk of zombies lingered in the air for a long while. The wide variety of TV shows and movies did good to scare everyone senseless. But we never saw what came. No one could imagine anything worse than being attacked by flesh-hungry ex-humans. Nothing could prepare anyone for this.
   
     The day the world seemed to change will never be forgotten. It's etched into my brain, scarred with an ever-lasting impression.
     It was the day my decently perfect life rammed hard, face first, into the ground.
     I suppose the world was on a form of hiatus before my own personal world ended. But I was too stubborn, too hopeful, that my life was beyond safe.
     With the world's end approaching, I'm unsure when I'll be able to post next, or if that will even be an option with the way things are quickly spiraling out of control. But here's hoping.

Until next time... hopefully,
Ashley

Marvel's Daredevil

     Okay, I know that Mark Steven Johnson's version of Daredevil wasn't really well received. But I, personally, liked it. It could have been that I spent a year or so of my childhood messing around with sais and loved the character part of Elektra and Jennifer Garner was always one of my more favorite actresses. I was a little skeptical when I heard about the rebooted TV series.

BUT HOLY COW!

     The show was beyond amazing! 

     The cast is great! 

     Matt Murdock/ Daredevil was played by Charlie Cox, who I'd only seen in a few movies previous to this one. He did an amazing job at making you care for the character. I was excited to see the iconic Daredevil suit at the end of the last episode. But the black outfit made Cox's build look very impressive. It created great silhouette's when the lighting hit just right.
     Franklin "Foggy" Nelson was played by the ever missed Elden Henson. When I was younger I had the world's largest crush on Elden. Well, more so on his character Fulton Reed from The Mighty Ducks. But I still find him highly adorable.
     Not to mention that they cast Deborah Ann Woll, from True Blood, as Karen Page; Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple; and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk.
     What I loved most about the show were the flashbacks. More times than not, when you come into the superhero fandom, everyone is well aware of the background of the characters. Or at least that's how the director's seem to think.
     The flashbacks about Kingpin are quite fascinating. They make you understand why he felt so strongly about changing Hell's Kitchen. His childhood was so unbelievably tormented that it almost makes you care and hope for his success.
     But alas, that obviously doesn't happen.
     If you haven't checked out the show, do so on Netflix. It's amazing and you won't regret it in the least.

Until tomorrow,
Ashley

Blogging as a Sport.

     I've been a little lax in all of the things I typically dabble in.

     Work has taken up a lot of my time. At first I didn't like the idea of my life revolving around something so bland as a retail job. But it has grown on me. It could just be that it's Victoria's Secret... and what girl wouldn't love to work there anyhow?!? Free and/or cheap bras. Uh, yeah! Or it could be that the other employees are beyond amazing and friendly and have become my family away from my own. Who knows?

ANYHOW...

     I haven't read anything new (unless we're counting updates on WattPad). Though that has not stopped me from buying every book I have the intention to one day read. They're all currently fighting for dominance on my main book shelf, violently pushing their way to the edges. 

     I haven't drawn anything since... uh, about 5 weeks from today. Which, if you knew me, would think that probably the oddest thing I've ever admitted to. Not to mention, I still haven't even finished said artwork. Poor King Under the Mountain, lying there with nothing but my LePen ink covering his delicate details.

     And I know I haven't even touched a pair of canvas shoes (besides buying them) since I started working back in November. Which is horrid, because my list of Shoe To-Do's are piling up quicker than I can blink.

     I've been so ruthlessly tired that I find myself drinking a whole pot of coffee, by myself no less, into the wee hours of the night trying to get little mundane tasks done (i.e.: laundry and the daily cleaning of my room).

     I need to be better at posting on here. I can never think of things to talk about. Unless, of course, it's been a while since I've posted. Then you can't stop my rambling. 

     So I've managed to buy a book titled 642 Things to Write About. I intend to, instead, make my blog posts about some of the subject matter in the book. Picking a new topic from the book at random each day. I need to get my creative juices, so they say, flowing. And what better way to do so than to write about things you don't typically, to think a way you never do. I'll try my best to post daily, or at least a few times a week, but we all know I'm quite horrid at it.

Until tomorrow, 

 Ashley
