Hello You All,
Gonna make this one quick. A publisher called me yesterday about getting my children's books project a-rolling. The beginning of my day yesterday was so bad. After lunch, I procured a date for the Valentine's Day ritual of spending money on chocolate, jewelry, and wine. We went to see Safe House (I am such the romantic). Anyway all these good things made me forget the beginning of my day.
I'll start on a manuscript soon, and maybe I'll post pages on this here blog, just so ya'll will get an idea on how the story works.
Until Next Time

Just Started on My Children's Book
Hello Again,
Aaron here with an update. Just started with my children's book "Adventures of the Superguys". I based the title on my step-sister's beautiful and adorable children. My nephew has these Action Figures he calls his 'Superguys'. He has even named one after me, isn't that awesome. His brother follows in his stead, absolutely loves those 'Superguys' because his older brother does.
I thought my first children's book should be dedicated to them, I love those boys. And besides, I got the name from them. I have an idea that involve the 'Superguys' try to solve problems around the bedroom and the house. Each problem a lesson for young children, of course, that they can comprehend. They help their 'Leader', which parents will be able to insert their child's name in the story, understand cleanliness, off-limits areas, etc.. I think it will be an exciting story for the kids, and a exciting tool for parents.
As I have said before, I don't have any kids, and I'm not around small children enough to understand what parents teach the young ones ages 3-6. I would love if anyone can give me ideas as to what these topics could be. A few things popped in my head while writing this paragraph: using the potty, and different foods.
I know I said I started the book, but I haven't started writing. But I do have a solid theme. Also earlier today, I pondered up a story made for little girls, "A Princess Story". Same idea where parents can replace the name of the 'Princess' with their child's name. I think this sound exciting. Unfortunately, I know even less about what a little girl would like to hear, and how parents teach them to be little angels.
If I can get some help, I would gladly send a copy of the stories to whoever presents some ideas. Be a part of an awesome story for your kids, or a family member's kids, or any kids you know. They always appreciate a story.
Thank you to whoever reads these blogs. I know they are not well published, but hey, I think I'm getting the hang of this.
Until next time.

My life starts new and with you all.
Hello People,
Aaron Vick here, and boy do I have some things to say. I started this blog because a friend, I highly respect, inspired me. You can visit his blog here at www.mrfinklegoestodublin.com.blogspot . Please check out his blog and help him out. Back to the issue of me getting it right. What does that mean....?
Well, I am separating from the military after five grueling years and one deployment. I started thinking of ideas about what i wanted to do to keep me busy while going to school. I came across a few thing that lead into the discovery of: Me wanting to help the youth. Never before have i thought about this, until the recent months.
I made a list of what I want to do to accomplish this. Maybe you all can help me come up with some ideas (they would be greatly appreciated.)
1.) I want to write a children's book. I want to come up with an idea and moral to keep kids entertained, while teaching them a comprehensible fundamental at their stage of life. Me not having kids, is that a reason why I can't Think of anything? If so send me some ideas of what you would like to see.
2.) I want and am going to become a Big Brother. I put time and effort into the research of the organization. I find it to be a very uplifting program, even for me. What better way to stay on the straight and narrow, avoid unnecessary trouble than to mentor and help shape a future citizen's life. I know it will be enjoyable.
3.) I want to film PSA's about some of the trouble out there involving today's youth. When I was in school, we would watch ton of these videos. I've asked around and I've come to realize there is just not that amount of participation from schools in this area anymore. I am not saying they don't teach awareness to the youth about certain issues, just saying it is not that often. I will have to do more research on what's out there and how available it is.
I would love to involve more people in this and create a a network of similarly motivated people. Please read and pass on this blog to everyone in hopes we can shape America's youth into a more positive direction.

4.) My ultimate goal is to grow as an individual who shows they care about what's going on in society and help recreate, what I believe is lost, a society that is focused on the safety, wellness, and growth of today's youth.
5.) Suicide awareness. In the military, there is a quote from former Sergeant Major of the Army Kenneth Preston: "One suicide is one suicide too many..." This struck my heart. In the military we preach this subject. I think it's time to branch it out to society. I am dedicated to finding ways to minimalize this unfortunate thought. Right now i can provide numbers to some national hotlines:

1-800-SUICIDE(784-2433) 1-800-273-TALK(8255)
and a website with listing of hotlines within your respective state.
