This honestly made me tear up.

Star Wars VII Characer Reveal - Andy Serkis as Supreme Leader Snoke

Well, today it was finally announced who Andy Serkis would be playing in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Serkis will fill the role of Supreme Leader Snoke.

Now, to me, this sounds like the name of a villain, and my prediction of what this character will be is the new "Emperor" figure for the new trilogy, acting as leader of the Empire - now known as the First Order - and being the one who took over after the death of Palpatine in Return of the Jedi.

Serkis has somewhat of a history of roles as secondary villains in movies, and this Supreme Leader could be the one signing Kylo Ren's cheques.

These are just my few thoughts on this reveal, and I think bringing Serkis onto a project of this magnitude was an excellent move. I'll probably talk about more Star Wars stuff in the future so stay tuned.

Godspeed, and may The Ancients watch over your travels.

Picture Thoughts - May 27, 2015

Stumbled across this picture on Twitter a couple of days ago, and it really made me think. It's a great quote and it really applies to my life right now. I've been afflicted by probably one of the largest writer's blocks in the history of the universe, and it's really harmed my writing process. In school, I had envisioned myself having movie deals and speaking in front of students trying to inspire them to follow their dreams by now, and well, I haven't exactly gotten there. The "What I'll do with my life if my writing career doesn't work" question has to be answered soon, and I just don't see it as being a simple answer. Teaching, writing for tv/film, and working in computers have all come to mind, but a decisive conclusion hasn't been made. I WANT to write for a living, and I've got to realize that despite this block, truly spectacular things are eventually going to happen. I have to keep praying, and telling myself I need to do this and then this downward scenario I find myself in will launch me into a time of prosperity, just like an arrow being shot at a target.

Whoever reads this, keep me in your prayers.

It's much appreciated
