And how is it going for you?
Sylum Inspiration: Robert Neville
Serenity: Scientist
Robert Neville was born in New York, his parents always telling him that he could do whatever he wanted. Made sure he got a good education, to stand against prejudices and racism.
His ambition got him into the University of New York, where he earned a degree in biology and physics. He later was recruited into the US Army, moving up ranks while working in the labs to come up with new ways to defeat the Vietcong.
When he transferred to a secured location in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness he knew something was wrong. His new commanding officer, Colonel William Striker, made sure he understood that he worked for him now.
Sylum Update: Important Information
This is an important message.
I’m sure many of you have read about what’s going on with Twitter. It’s basically a shit show of epic proportions.
Social Media hasn’t really been a big thing for Sylum, for many different reasons, but we always had a couple so people could receive notifications of posts.
Through Advent we’ll be leaving things as they are, but in January of 2023 we’ll be shutting down the Twitter account. Just can’t be part of ‘waves hand around’ all of that.
(Edit: That is if Twitter doesn’t actually implode in the next few weeks. Personally, I had thought it would take at least six months … I’m wondering if it will last six days at this moment.)
The best option to be notified of posts is to actually subscribe to the Blog, and then you’ll get the daily blog post in your email!
To subscribe, go to the front page – on the right hand column and you’ll see ‘Subscribe to this Blog’ put in your email and walla (hopefully everything will work and you’ll get daily emails)
Sign up now and get all Advent in your inbox!! I will post a reminder in January, when we’ll be shutting down the twitter account.

Sylum Inspiration: John McClane
Serenity: Head of Security
John grew up in New York, and the moment he graduated high school he joined the police academy. While on a patrol he met Holly Gennaro, who had witnessed a crime at her college. The two started dating, and soon were married.
Two years later they had a son, then two years after that a daughter.
John figured they were pretty settled until Holly informed him that she got a job offer in Los Angeles.
He stated he couldn’t just leave, due to the fact he had cases pending. She informed him, they needed some time apart, that she was having a difficult time with him being a cop, especially one who ended up always in the middle of any dangerous situation.
John let her go, banking that she would change her mind. Weeks turned to Months until it was almost a year. Wanting to see his wife and kids for Christmas, John traveled out to Los Angeles.
It all went to shit.
Hanz Gruber had taken the building hostage, including John’s wife. McClane refused to play ball and set out to take down the terrorist, only to find that they weren’t simple thieves. In the end he saved his wife, and watched in shock and triumph as Hanz fell to his death.
(Dilios Note: You might have seen the movie? Bruce Wayne made franchise series a while back much to McLane’s dismay)
Afterwards John moved to Los Angeles, joining the LAPD, settling back with his family.
Until he started seeing Hanz where ever he went. Holly worried about his eradicate behavior left him, and took the kids. He ended up suspended from the force. It was then he was at his lowest that Hanz confronted him and Turned him.

November 5th
Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, ’twas his intent
To blow up the King and the Parliament
Three score barrels of powder below
Poor old England to overthrow
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King!
Coffee House Friday
And it’s November.
I heard a phrase recently: A day is slow a year is fast.
So how is everyone doing as we head into the last couple months of this year.
