    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

Botanical Garden, Tenerife, Puerto De La Cruz

In 1788, Carlos III of Spain decided that he wanted some of the exotic plants, flowers and trees from his territories in South and Central America brought over to adorn his palace in Madrid. Trouble was the flora needed a stop-off point to become acclimatized to their new environment. The Canary Islands, with their sub-tropical climate, seemed the ideal choice, so Carlos drew up a Royal Decree on August 17th of that year declaring the establishment of an "acclimatization garden" in Puerto de La

Trying To Hang On By My Fingernails

For the past week I’ve been wavering over putting GA on the backburner for the foreseeable future. My mental state is in a total disarray since Rambo bit me and my son had to put him down. Plus, my son has his own mental issues to consider. In effect, we’re both a couple of crazies trying to make do with life.   But, I have a series of stories that may save me. One deals with a boy who was sold by his parents into sexual slavery when he was six. Dabeagle helped me a lot with New York State’s p

49 Celebrities Honor The 49 Pulse Victims

This video technically has a political agenda at the end, though it is not mentioned throughout. As such, I felt it improper to place it in the standard forums. I also didn't want to put it in The Pit, because I believe it should be a bit more visible. It's very powerful, and I hope you'll give it a view.

All This Bandwidth And I Can't Communicate

You're pissed at him.   He's not talking to you.   Maybe... just maybe... he is like me. He just doesn't know what to say.   He knows the words. He needs to say them but, nobody wants to hear them.   I'm closing in on a degree in telecommunications. I know how to make things talk to each other. From two cans and a tight string to super-bandwidth fiber channels. I can move data like a boss. I can connect people across continents. I can upgrade cell towers by replacing a bunch of boards a

C S R Discussion Day: Things We Lost By Dabeagle

June has absolutely flown by, but I hope you found the time to read this month's CSR story, Things We Lost by Dabeagle. This novella-length story has a ton of drama, but it's not the usual teen story at all! Check out my interview with Dabeagle first, and then share your thoughts or reviews on the story below.   What is the worst thing you’ve ever eaten? That would be, I believe, sweet bread. The name is deceiving. We were at a dinner at the Italian American Community center and this was one d

Yellowcard Breakup

Brexit is sort of weird and makes you think, but Yellowcard's break up is fucking sad and depressing. I grew up on their tunes from their fun tourhful SoCal melodies in "Ocean Avenue" to their mature tunes in "When you're through with Thinking, Say Yes" and "Southern Air". I am a huge fan of theirs and the fun incorporation of Violins in Rock music.   They're leaving a great legacy of awesome music though:   This song got me into listening to them:     This song makes a lot of sense a

The Year Of Newness

2015 kicked my ass, but I've now come to realize I'm better for it. I lost my job, had very little money, and I could see my relationship of 6 years crumbling. So I did what just about every gay man in his 20s does to cope, and turned to partying and Grindr to help me get away from it all. Predictably, it all ended in disaster that even a blind man could have seen coming. I knew it was coming too, but didn't want to face it. To make a long story short, by Christmas I was single for the first tim

Ever Been A Victim Of Violence?

If you have, you know how much it sucks. You know that your survival isn't guaranteed when you are helpless in the hands of those that have bad intentions.   It's happened to me twice as an adult. I pretty much lived with it as a teen.   Once was a rather serious beating I took as an 18 year old freshman. There was more too it than that but it was bad enough. The second a few years later. I don't remember that one. I was beaten with a blackjack and suffered a severe concussion. Probably left

When Your Other Favorite Forum Becomes A Nightmare

Over the years, I've loved two forums, this one of course and another. The other forum, as of late, has gone to shit. A certain group of assholes started harassing me almost constantly. The staff was almost certainly aware of it and did nothing. They resorted to things like neg repping random posts, comparing me to a member who is a total nutjob who actually stalked another member of Facebook, and just whatever else they could think of to piss me off. Needless to say, I'm done with that site. Bu

It's once again time to take a look at what has happened here on GA this past week. Emotions have run high after the news about the tragic shooting in Orlando, Florida. While many of us couldn't find the words to say how we felt, Steve managed to do what we couldn't, and shared some thoughts on what happened in Orlando. Some authors, both here at GA and others, are putting together a Poetry Anthology to benefit the victims of the Pulse shooting. If you're interested in participating, you can che

Real Statistics - The Truth About Guns And Crime In The Us

As a math geek I can really geek out on statistics.   It is said that statistics can be made to say anything and that is true if you play games with the numbers. I don't.   Those numbers actually say things that don't jive with the political narrative.   Those are the numbers we really need to pay attention to.           Per Capita Gun Ownership: 112 guns per 100 people   The US is #1 worldwide in gun ownership with more guns than people.1       Now- let's look at the US Homici

New Things Are Coming

I am the type of person who likes documenting my life sometimes, so here is a blog post.   I realized that it has been over a year since I posted a story. But this year, two things happened that I am hopeful will get some new work up.   Firstly, I realized that Adderall was completely fucking up my life. I did really well at work (I had the highest productivity back in 2014 and was second highest last year) but outside of work, I was completely miserable. I couldn't sleep well, I could
