80's Babies Are Getting Old

Over on my friend's facebook, this has been making the rounds amongst us vanguard Millennials. Pretty scary, no?     It's a weird thing. I remember back in 2003, I used to tell people I was born in 1985, and they'd go, "Wow, you're so young!"   Now I tell people that I was born in 1985, and I get, "Damn, you're old." It's weird- I think my mind pretty sees the mid/late 2000's as being about yesterday, and that my peers (i.e. those born around 1984-1989) are the "youth peers", and the real

Secret Behind 1St Chapter

The thought of Suicide will come from the pain that never ended. But for me it came out of misunderstandings. Yeah, misunderstandings... By knowing the consequences, I don't wanna be a Gay. At least not in front of the people I Love. Its not that I am ashamed of myself, but... You know its complicated to answer.   Coming to the story, the first chapter itself named as the story title. So many, not so many though, said it was very emotional and tough write. I don't know it was that deep but it

Saying Goodbye

When a friend or other loved on leaves us behind it leaves a mark. I know that when my father passed away in 2003, it was expected - he'd had cancer for more than a year by then and when he came home with hospice, we knew our time with him was limited. That was very hard on him and on us, emotionally, but we got the chance to say goodbye and he knew how valued and loved he was.   I made a friend almost a year ago who wasn't always very nice. He could be, frankly, a jerk. I know why he was the

Ghostboy Aka Cj

Can anyone tell me what happened to Chris?   And someone has now answered my question. So I have a few things to say.   Chris is someone I met, what is now, years ago. He has a strong mid-western stubbornness, but also a heart that allows him to bend a little from his held beliefs. He is a contradiction of beliefs, but that was because of his bending for his heart. He is a human being first, before anything else. He isn't much for labels and that quickly gained my respect, since I don't beli

C S R Feature: The Rainy Day By Graeme

The weather has turned, and it's rainy... which reminded me of a story from a past anthology I really enjoyed. Renee has announced a special anthology redo for 2016 allowing members to pick any--or all--past anthologies they didn't participate in to feature a new story. One of the older anthologies I really enjoyed was "Worth Fighting For" and my favorite story of that series was this one, so I hope you'll enjoy it too!   The Rainy Day by Graeme   Length: 7,598   A Reader

Unfinished Work

When someone dies, there is always some unfinished work left. Usually it's something the deceased started. Today I found something I started for my brother when he first got sick 9 years ago. I was knitting a prayer shawl that should end up like this, only in denim blue heather:     The pattern, http://debbiemacomber.com/knitters/alixs-prayer-shawl, was slightly beyond my skill level. I can make it, but can't recover from a dropped stitch without tearing out rows. About 5 years ago I was b

Some Things Off My Chest

As I start my long weekend of reading and writing due to the labor day holiday, I've hit upon something I should have done a long time ago, but I feel like I never could do, I want to say "I'm sorry".   Confession is good for the soul and after thinking things over, I've got to confess my soul:   As an author, I've been at GA for many years without a single great hit or an ugly negative story, as a gay man I have been out for 4 years without having a stable relationship for more than 3 month

Official National Languages: My Take

Alright, one political post a week   An issue was raised about the use of Spanish in communication versus using English, which is the majority language of the US currently. It's a really provocative question about language and people.   I do believe that an official language in some countries are necessary to create a cultural identity. It's a good idea for nations that want to establish some kind of hegemony over customs and standards. For the United States, it's a little more complicated.

How A Student Chose A Shakespeare Sonnet.

M. has to memorize and recite a Shakespeare sonnet for school.   Most important criterion: No ‘thee’, ‘thou’ and ‘hath’ and shit.   My comment: I never found ‘shit’ in a Shakespeare sonnet before, so I googled it. I didn’t find any, thank God.   His final decision fell on Sonnet 130.   Next step: How do I pronounce this shit? Again with the shit… Anyway, for a German student that’s not an easy task. He needed some help and he found Stephen Fry:   http://sonnets.touchpress.com/titles/sh
