Peter's Will

Well, I know I haven't posted on blogger for a long time, but in the instance that you missed the news I published my book on paperback, here it is.

Dear russellpennwright.blogspot.com readers

I want you to know that you are awesome and I thank you for being with me through the years, through my Asian Athletes blog, through my movie blogs, and now through russellpennwright.blogspot.com. I write to you this to inform you that I have moved my author page to a new website:

http://russellpennwright.wordpress.com

Thank you for the years of readership and patience. I am writing a lot more these days and I am trying to get another book published.

Humbly yours,

Russell Pennwright

Wow, my novel in Amazon Japan!

I never even knew about this. I wish I could read in Japanese. It is kind of cool. I absolutely love it.

My Newfound Love For Tweeting

I have been on twitter since 2010, but only now have I actually used it to this degree. I realized that twitter is fun, giving me an opportunity to interact with people who know more than me about certain subjects. It has given me a brand new perspective on social media.

The layout of twitter has greatly improved over the years and it has made the website easier to use. I commend the twitter team on increasing the word limit on tweets. This definitely is one of the reasons why I had began to like tweeting more and more. I suddenly find myself not worrying about word counts. 

The people on twitter are great passionate people who like to learn just like me. It was all serious for me back in the day, which is probably why I never got to appreciate what twitter actually can do: that is, to learn more than to teach. And, in the past, I was teaching; however, teaching can also be learning when one is humble and is willing to admit to himself that he may not know everything. It has indeed been a humbling experience.

Are You Kidding Me, Ekaterina Vandaryeva?

Looking for some cool kickboxing clips for some updates about the kickboxing world, I stumbled upon a female boxer named Ekaterina Vandaryeva. I couldn't believe that anyone this beautiful could be a kickboxer. It is something definitely not common. Simply unbelievable: like a supermodel, like an angel. 

I know, I know. It is not like anything I had ever posted, even back in the day on my other website. But, boy, I am simply just surprised. And, rightfully so, she deserves the claim to be called 'The World's Sexiest Boxer'.

Why or why Microsoft Word?

It is an oddity, to me, that no matter how many writing programs there may be, and, I had indeed tried many of them, I end up going back to Microsoft Word. There is just no substitute. If indeed there are other writing programs out there that you think is better, please feel free to share. 

Movies: Red Sparrow, Death Wish, Annihilation

I saw all of these movies in the last 3 days or so and I must say that despite all the hoopla, only one movie managed to entertain me. I will let you be the guessers here on which one I like. And, many of my readers practically know what floats my boat.

I do watch a lot of movies, mostly on my spare time when I am not writing these days, and, I do seem to be doing a lot of writing these days; I hope to publish another book this year or so.

In all, I do think that it has not been a good start to movies in 2018, as the only movies out there, with an exception of the blockbuster 'The Black Panther', have simply stood out as a film that can make you go 'Wow!'

I say this in the outmost respect: much of the films I have seen are quite slow and are quite difficult to follow. A viewer should never have to say to himself, "What in the world is going on?"
