Book review: Ayal the Arrow Boy by Erik Stedil
Currently reading the fall of numenor
Awesome! That's the next Tolkien one on my list. How is it?
@@strangerLeumas interesting, i learned a lot about the kings of numenor, i was expecting unfinished tales vol 2 but i got a more comprehensive story. I do recommend and the art on the hard cover is haunting
@@carlosmedina3794 Thanks for sharing! I'll have to let you know what I think when I finish.
I read The Great Gatsby bc in high school we were required to write on a book from a list. And I fell in love with it. Now that I'm 27 and have been working for some time, the themes in that book still carry with me and in some way helped shape my materialistic lifestyle. Now that I have more time to read I've been debating which book of his to read next. Whether This Side of Paradise or Beautiful and Damned.
Thanks so much for commenting! My story is a little similar. I read Gatsby in high school and I was okay with it but I know I didn't understand it all then. I rediscovered it when I did my student teaching (age 22) and fell in love with it then. I even wrote my Master's thesis (at age 24) partially on the book. Now I'm 34, and it's still one of my favorites! I've now read all of Fitzgerald's novels except for The Last Tycoon (I'm working up to that one). Both are good but I think The Beautiful and the Damned is better. This Side of Paradise was his first novel, and he was still getting a feel for things.
Have a safe trip and eat lots of good Mexican food
Thanks so much! I did!
@@strangerLeumas That’s awesome. I’m glad you had a great time.
What is your favorite book, sir?
The Holy Bible! But when it comes to fiction, I'd say The Great Gatsby. Lord of the Rings is high up there too.
I hope you have an amazing trip bro be safe
Thanks so much! It was safe and amazing!
I'm reading A Clash of Kings by George R R Martin. And btw Tolkien is my most favourite writer! His books are just excellent!
Nice to meet a fellow fan! What's your favorite by Tolkien?
@@strangerLeumas I haven't read much of him.. just hobbit, lotr and silmarillion. But I'd say I enjoyed The Return of the Kings most, by far!
@@somamajumder3218 Those are the classics for sure! I hadn't read a lot more than that until recently, but I'm trying to branch out for now.
@@strangerLeumas me too! I'm finishing The Silmarillion and I saw the history of middle earth set in my public library. Gonna read that after finishing The Silmarillion.
What's the noise in the background?
My office, probably.
Good on you for keeping on keeping on, your channels longevity is commendable and I hope you find your audience. Good luck out there!
Thanks so much for saying so! I think I'm finding it little by little!
Looks sick I'm trying to read more too, reading pendragon, the quillan games.
I read part of that series a LONG time ago. How do you like it?
@@strangerLeumas I like it a lot, i read it once over ten years ago. The author sort of repeats phrases a lot but i love him for it. he will repeat a funny statement and then say, did i ever mention that?
P R O M O S M 😊
I got the night diary, the eighth day, when I hit the road, spirit hunters, and linked
I'm not very familiar. What genres are those?
@@strangerLeumas the night diary is sort of historical fiction and is told in a diary format, when I hit the road is just a light hearted fiction, linked is told in the present day and it isn’t as lighthearted, spirit hunters is a mystery type with a bit of a fantasy element, and the eighth day is compared to Percy Jackson and Harry Potter
@@lucyrosekenney Sounds like a diverse collection! Enjoy.
@@strangerLeumasthank you, enjoy yours as well
Congrats good for u!
Thanks so much! Hoping for good things to come.
It would be better if they had the series flash in it
Fair. It wasn't perfect, but I still liked it a lot!
It is ok
It's mid
I enjoyed it a lot! Not saying it was Oscar-worthy, but I thought it was fun.
How'd you like it by the end
I liked it pretty well! Check out my full review here: open.spotify.com/episode/2hmpkb911y1HUnNQEoQkUv?si=cCkhUEVZTGaYBvzg7EvHtA
I haven't taken the family to see it either. May go soon tho. We go see every Marvel Movie. But Marvel's movies and Disney Plus shows have been trash lately.🤢 Updated: We finally seen the Movie... 5 star, 2 thumbs up!! Best Marvel movie I've seen in years!!
Oh, I've still enjoyed most of them--including this one! You should go see it when you can.
Dont give up man, you got this, keep it going brother❤
Thanks so much for saying so! I'm keeping at it!
You ok?
You didn't upload in a long time
Are you ok bro?😊
Yes, thank you! I've fallen off with this site and let other things take over, but I'd like to start uploading again!
Giving blood while watching you. I miss you.
Wow! I'm honored. Thanks for watching!
Hi Sam! It's Chris from Facebook who's now your 25th sub! Biggest struggles with writing are staying in flow state while writing and yes, finding time.
Thanks for sharing, Chris! Yep, we all have some of those struggles! Some of my other talks have focused on specific challenges within the writing/editing process, and those are also worth a separate discussion. But when I ask people what their biggest writing challenge is, "finding time" is always one of the first answers.
Are you a Christian?
Yes, I am! Why do you ask?
@@strangerLeumas Just because I've seen your behavior and harassment campaigns on Facebook and I am surprised to find out you are a Christian.
@@yellowblackbird9000 I'm not sure exactly what "harassment campaigns" you're referring to. But part of being a Christian is speaking truth to those who need it--and that often even includes other Christians!
@@strangerLeumas On multiple occasions you've been blocked by people after you repeatedly harassed them for disagreeing with you in debate groups. Then you sent their family members threatening messages. This means that you stalked their profiles and kept lists of their families before they blocked you. I don't think that stalking is part of being Christian.
@@yellowblackbird9000 I don't know where you've heard that, but you're wrong. I haven't threatened anyone. Whoever told you that is lying. And you seem to be confused about what "harassment" is. Disagreeing with someone isn't harassing them. Correcting people with facts and evidence isn't harassment either. The Bible does give specific instructions for how to respond when a fellow Christian says against you (Matthew 18). These instructions include first going to the person one-on-one, and then, if they won't listen, bringing in one or two others to talk to them. There was a recent instance where someone was spreading lies about me in a public group because he didn't like the facts and sources I was sharing (he even falsified screenshots of my conversations and shared those around, etc.).. This was a Christian group, and this person claimed to be a Christian, but he was lying and slandering me to others. I messaged him one-on-one and asked him to repent for his actions. Instead, he blocked me. So, in accordance with the Bible's instructions, I sent messages to his wife and a couple other family members to explain the situation to them and ask if they could talk to him about his sinful behavior. Nowhere at any point in this process did I threaten the person who was lying about me or any of his family members. Christians (including me) are far from perfect, but we do our best to follow the Bible's guidelines for living. That's what I'm doing too. I'm sorry if you don't like it. But I'd also recommend (per the Bible) that, if you have a problem with someone (like me), you talk to them one-on-one first before believing gossip and bringing false accusations against them. I hope that helps to clear things up for you!

First! I'm so cool. I like your beard.
You sound exactly like Yoda.

Rip off from Arrested Development...
I totally agree that the original ending sucked. I really hated that they didn't even mention "The Line". Instead they danced around it and basically reconstructed a longer uglier phrase that he decides to completely ignore.
if this is star wars now I'm watching the fault in my stars
He was showing off his Spider-Man cup. The damn thing was empty. Hollow sounding ass cup.
It takes away from credibility.
Cool! THAT is devotion! "Twip"
virgin
this is going to sound mean but seriously get a life right now
NERD!!!!!!!
You say that like it's a bad thing...
Awesome room! O.O :O I'm VERY impressed! Also, good ending. XD
I liked this concept a lot, but seriously, could there BE anymore Spider-Man paraphernalia in this room?
Cool
I like that he scribbled on a beard! LMAO
Very good lyrics! Although I think I'd hire a singer. ;) Please actually get a band to perform! Then repost it. That would be awesome!
"Obi-Wan Kenobi at your service." That sounded almost exactly like C3PO: 3:37
Pretty awesome... in an amateur nerdfilm kinda way... You put a lot of heart and effort into it. It really shows! :D
this must be the worst video ever.
This sucks in every possible way.
You know, in the actual "HISHE" videos, they don't say the dialogue word for word.
@ 0:41 "And the sweet and innocent civilians" They all look so pissed lol
