Recently got my hands on the latest ERAGON series of book, BRISINGR. The whole book series surrounds the life of this young boy who was chosen with a unique destiny to be a Dragon rider, with a dragon, strong powers and an army of soldiers to defend the forces of darkness and unite the races on the face of the earth. Typical fantasy war, fighting story. I was drawn because of that but I thought to highlight the author because few would know how inspiring his story is.
Christopher Paolini was homeschooled by his parents. As a child, he often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. The idea of Eragon began as the daydreams of a teen. Christopher’s love for the magic of stories led him to craft a novel that he would enjoy reading. The project began as a hobby, a personal challenge; he never intended it to be published. All the characters in Eragon are from Christopher's imagination except Angela the herbalist, who is loosely based on his sister.
Christopher was fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon. He took a second year to revise the book and then gave it to his parents to read. The family decided to self-publish the book and spent a third year preparing the manuscript for publication: copyediting, proofreading, designing a cover, typesetting the manuscript, and creating marketing materials. During this time Christopher drew the map for Eragon, as well as the dragon eye for the book cover
Some question you might wanna ask yourself:
(1) What was I doing at fifteen?
(2) Did I ever thought about my dreams being accomplished?
(3) Do I know what I was good at doing?
These were the questions that came to my mind when I read about Christopher Paolini's profile. Sometimes we just need to know what our dreams are and even find means and ways to accomplish them.
You really won't know what your wildest imaginations will lead to.
Just imagine!!! *winks*

'Date rape': The incident allegedly occurred at Whisky Mist club at the Hilton Hotel in Park Lane.Police are investigating the alleged rape of a model who believes her drink was spiked at a Park Lane nightclub popular with young royals.
The 18-year-old says she felt dizzy and disorientated and was led down to the cellar area of the Whisky Mist club at the Hilton Hotel where the attack took place.
She claims a 23-year-old man she had met previously at the club gave her the Rohypnol-style 'date rape' drug before sexually assaulting her.
She went to the police the next day and the man was arrested later that day by officers. He was bailed to return later this month pending further enquiries.The model, who is a regular at top designers' shows in London, New York, Milan and Paris, said the alleged rape happened when she went to the club last Wednesday evening.
A close friend said: 'She was having a drink at the bar and enjoying herself. She was also given a drink by the guy she says went on to rape her. Then she suddenly felt dizzy and disorientated.'
She has a hazy memory of what happened but is convinced she was spiked with some kind of drug.'After that, she remembers coming upstairs in the club and realising something dreadful had happened.'
The above is just a story that I got from a colleague's blog that report a real story that's been happening in the clubbing scene. However, it appears to have since evolved where perpretrators use something called epidermical celotape drugs. Basically as long as someone touches you with this drug, you'll be knocked out faster then you can say "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".
What can we say???
(1) The pharmauceutical scene is fast evolving. We have very good drugs.
(2) Danger can lurk everywhere !!!
(3) Want to drink, drink at home better. Can K.O. on bed straightaway.
THINK TWICE before you have to PAY TWICE.
