Hi friends, Today, I'm going to talk about God and how to appease Him/Her/It. You can replace the word God with "The Force" if you have problems with that word. I use the word, "God" for ease of usage. Whether you are a believer or an aethist, it is almost impossible to deny the existence of a powerful force
which runs this Cosmos.

I am a Toronto-based writer and actor. I write web content, fiction, research/articles, essays and poetry. My acting has mostly been in the theatre and runs the gamut from experimental & modern to improv to Shakespeare and although I haven’t performed in a while, I’m hopeful of returning soon. (Shekar, are you listening??) I have two online blogs – one at MySpace for professional purposes and also a personal blog at livejournal .
