 * Beowulf, Geat hero, goes to Heorot to help out Hrothgar, King of the Danes, with the Grendel problem.
 * After a rawkus night of partying, Grendel comes and Beowulf shows Grendel what's what by tearing his arm off and eventually killing him.
 * Beowulf later, goes after Grendel's unnamed mother and procedes to slay her also. **TBC...**

Beowulf is a hero through and through. He literally goes out in a blazing glory. You really can't say much else about it. He arrives in Geat, takes care of Grendel and his mother, who had been terrorizing the joint for however long and then, fifty years later, the old man slays a dragon. Of course he becomes king along the way so it's not as if his actions weren't justified. Though some of his actions were unorthodox, he did what he had to do and to the fullest. It was only right for the Geats to send their hero off to the afterlife the way they did; as a king.

Gareth Hinds and his presentation in Percival Hall was one of the most inspirational things I have witnessed since the Shawshank Redemption. I know he didn't crawl through 500 yards of fecal matter after escaping jail, but what he does for a living is almost exactly what I want to, and am trying to do as a career. I knew I could relate with this man almost instantly when he showed the doodle adventures, he had drawn when he was a child, on the projector. I have numerous "books" (pages of computer paper binded by packing tape) at my house that I had drawn when I was a child. My stories weren't about myself though. My stories were of the Ninja Turtles. But that's besides the point. I used to make up stories and illustrate them just as he did and, when I was seventeen I started writing a novel. Writing is tough enough, nevermind drawing pictures complex enough to go along with what I want to say, so, I abandoned sketching to focus on writing. After his presentation I realize that if I plan right and use my time correctly, I can still sketch, //and// by the looks of it, it may help with my writing. Of course I had to go and shake his hand to thank him for the inspiration. Because of Gareth Hinds, I can honestly say that I can really work toward my dream of writing a graphic novel. Thank You Gareth!
