I am so thankful for the opportunity to put my thoughts and feelings out into the world where potentially ANYONE in the world could read it. And with that thought, I sit here finding myself wanting to share with the world, my life.
I’m not going to bore you with my whole life story, like where I was born or when my parents divorced… No, that’s been done. Instead I want to share with you one very big, and very prominent part of my life. I’m a geek. And, yes, the word geek these days is thrown around a lot, and I think it’s lost it’s meaning. But I assure you, I am a GEEK. Books, shows, movies, comics, music… All of it, it’s my world. And I am also a Christian, which believe me, is a bigger deal than I will make it out to be in this blog. But the reason I bring it up is because for this next part, it’s vital you know that.
I have been a geek longer than I have been a Christian, and don’t get me wrong, becoming a Christian was the single greatest decision I will ever make, and although I stumble a lot, don’t read my Bible enough and go through things, I love God with all my heart and soul. But I need to ” make myself abundantly clear” – some of my best friends are fictional characters, I get to travel the world and the galaxies without leaving my room, I get to feel the heartbreak of a singer’s words, and rejoice with them when they find love; I have the most spectacular opportunity to live my life in an extraordinary manner. Someone commented recently, that I shouldn’t read/watch/listen to what I was because it isn’t the Bible or God centred, and I will give them a point, as some of the things I watch, are not what you call “God centred” — but I cannot count the amount of times as a young girl where my books would block out the yelling and the fights, the belittling and the insecurity I felt in real life; or the music that drowned out my tears and sang to me, to not give up. And, I didn’t know it then, but God was with me then, when I escaped to those places, with those characters, I would feel safe, and secure. And as much as I watch, and escape into science fiction, fiction and other genres, I am not affected by it, I am safe in it.
And so my life is different from yours, and that person that told me to stop reading. They don’t know how many books I have read that have not only taught me how to live, but have saved my life too. I read books because they teach me wiser lessons than the adults around me, they give me strength when they are strong, when they are weak, you understand humanity.. When I watch shows or movies, I am transported into that world, but also crave knowing the illustrators of these worlds, relate to them, hear their heart for their precious world, and find encouragement in their love for these people and things that made them safe and secure.
My music range is quite sparse – My favourite bands are The Script, Fall Out Boy and Backstreet Boys. I listen to Classical Music, Rhythm and Blues, Jazz, Classic Rock, Indie. I play the Harmonica and think I can sing (but am often contradicted on that last statement).
It’s really hard to explain into words the life I live and how the things I ‘obsess’ over are the very things that give me joy, make me passionate for life, and encounter the same people as me, who feel the exact same way I do.
So my point of this… We all lead different lives, but never underestimate the power of a person when they encounter their souls delights, no matter what they may be.

So basically the English Government commission an English Secret agent, Tom Lowe, to pose as a physician on the ship the navigation system is on. He then gets taken to the secret island Blackbeard lives on, and his double mission is to destroy the system if Blackbeard had it and to kill him.
Anyway, this show deals with the political and legal side of all hospitals with the conflicting beliefs of the doctors who just want to save lives. It makes for great TV, and I really think that it can go a really long way. Let’s see where it goes!
