It’s been a while and I haven’t forgotten about you Smokin Sevens. I will be back with a vengeance. You wait and see.

I’m thinking about video. That would make for an enjoyable time. Hmmm…

SmokinSevens.com is by far the coolest domain name on the Internet.

The Bruce Lee Movie

Are you interested in a good movie? I was just reminded of a good one that I haven’t seen in a long time. It is Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. It’s a great movie, a great story, and a reminder of a great tragedy. Check it out if you haven’t seen it.

The Hunted

Have you ever felt what it is like to be hunted? I remember reading The Most Dangerous Game while going through school and it made me think, but that is about it. Then I got in to playing paintball and it became much more tangible to feel what it is like to be hunted. What a rush! I can see why some people get hooked on the game. I can also tell you that I have a much deeper appreciation for the men and women in our Armed Forces.

My heart got to pounding. My mind was as quick as it has ever been. My vision was incredible. My hearing was at its best. I was closer to the ground than the grass itself. I noticed the tiniest bit of elevation changes. A tuft of grass all of a sudden becomes “cover”. A wall of twigs breaks up my silhouette and breaks up the incoming shells.

So have you ever been hunted?

Write It Down or Lose It Forever

I am sure this goes without saying, but if you don’t write down your idea as soon as you have it then you will surely use it and it will be lost forever.

Ask me how I know.

Like the Kansas wind, the direction of this blog has changed again. Check out the About Smokin’ Sevens page for more information. The long and the short of it is that this place is going to leave the SEO coverage to another blog. This blog is going to focus on not being focused. It is going go be fun and random.

Let’s get this party started right.
