    By wildone

    First thing first, I really need anyone who is thinking to enter our yearly Anthology, please see Val's Thursday blog and if you fingers haven't started typing, get them going! As you read this, I am indisposed. Read into that what you want . But I'm up by a lake in the mountains looking at the colours change for fall.  So next week in the northern hemisphere, we flip into fall, autumn, whatever you like to call it. Down under the equator, they are about to hit spring   What is y

    Word Triggers

    By Valkyrie

    Certain otherwise-innocuous words can be a trigger for some people.  Maybe it's a negative association with the word - a reminder of past trauma or a social faux pas.  It could be a word that becomes an inside joke - an innocent word given a not-so-innocent meaning.  These words make us cringe and avoid them and not really want to explain our reaction to other people.  For me, a certain spring-blooming flower is a word trigger.  I avoid saying the name of this flower because I have  negative ass

I Feel . . .

The ellipses fits my frame of mind right now. It's as if my mind can't complete any of its thoughts properly. I'm constantly locked in this never-ending battle with my wayward brain. It's complicated, and it's starting to screw with me in ways I never thought would happen to me.   I can't write like this. At least, I can't write novels. I can probably still do a short story, possibly even a novella, but novels? It just isn't happening. I sit down, maybe get through a chapter, and then the thou

Shopping Portland

Thanks to my niece Kristin and her boyfriend Konner, I got to make an epic shopping trip to Portland. They went and chased rare pokemons that hang out in the city.   One thing you have to understand about Portland- it's crowded and traffic is shocking.   Kristin navigated to my first objective: Powell's Books   I'm not sure if Powell's is the largest independent bookstore in the US but, it takes up a city block. It's so big, they give away maps of the store so you can find your way around.

Use Sunscreen!

Just got a call from the dermatology clinic where I had the latest biopsy on my left ear. The pathology report came back today and it's a squamous cell carcinoma. They'll be scheduling with the VA as to whether they or the VA will do the surgery. They will be recommending one of their Mohs qualified surgeons handle the procedure. They VA will probably say that I should have my ear whacked off just to save a few bucks.   Life moves on, as I've got a lot of writing to do, a dog to house train, a

Happy Yet Sad

Feelings. Both happy and sad. They lay beside each other with a thin gap, needle like. Some are happy for some thing and they cry for being happy, called happy tears. Some are sad and again cry here too, called various names. Breaking apart, grieving or just tears.   Happy and sad, both has different roles in someone's life in various situations. Or in every situation. Ever heard about both being in one. Blended. They call it 'Bittersweet'. You are happy yet sad. Or sad yet happy. Different re

MGK. The name tag you know of me. But its not my actual name(no wonder, right?). Its my name that linked with, sorry I linked with my Ex's name(MK) and feel it like my name(GS) got completed. But I was wrong. My love, my lover, and this name all was turned out to be wrong.   Day-by-day, as I am knowing how douche-bag he is!!!? made it all wrong. Atleast I thought love is pure. But I finally understand that what we have is never was love at all. So this name, is never meant to be exist. So that

Somewhere

Somewhere on the other side of the rainbow, in a land far far away, there will be a tree. An old majestic tree it will be, with its red, green and purple leaves, and its ancient curved branches extending their embrace from one horizon to another, standing solemnly in an emerald valley beneath the starry night in a solitary prayer. Underneath that tree old mossy stones will hibernate while snuggling the roots that reach the deepest crevices of earth in search of the sweet moisture and warmth of t

Called A Faggot For The First Time

Today I had a belated first of sorts. For the first time ever, I was called a 'faggot' in a disparaging way. I've always been easily able to pass off as straight, so I've been able to avoid really any direct harassment for being gay. I think too that a lot of (especially straight) guys feel more comfortable around me because they view it as "he's gay, but he's not THAT gay". Its stupid, but just kind of how it is.   Anyway, I had gone to dinner with a friend in the Gayborhood, and we were wal
