Lookin' Good And Feelin' Fine

I feel great I received my certificate award for passing ten achievement standards at excellence, in front of the entire school with a whole group of people. Attached was a cheque for $40.00 (hooray!) The other thing was I had class photos today. I'm just hoping the picture came out good. Well, more importantly, I'm hoping that I wasn't blinking in the shot because of the sudden flash of white light just before the camera clicks. So that was my Wednesday today. And I'm doing alrigh

Ramblings About How Frustrated I Am :p

Okay, so I'm currently working on a little project that I have had in mind since...I'm not really sure how long I kept the idea in my head and I'm doing fine so far except when I realize I'm having trouble with my characters' POV A short explanation on how the story goes; two guys talking about the past in front of an audience. Originally I've decided to write in third person but was having trouble as I find my sentences to be bland and boring with a lot of 'he does this, he said that a

The Lessons Of Steel

The Lessons of Steel Steel has some very profound lessons to teach. It is hard and cold sometimes but, if you learn these lessons, they will serve you well. Steel is not magic. It's work is not accomplished overnight. It takes commitment and continuous, sustained effort to make that magic happen. In the beginning there will be pain. You will be sore and want to quit but, if you persevere, there are rewards. It won't happen ov

Vicious

I object to the gay critics of Vicious, the Brit sitcom starring Ian McKellan and Derek Jacobi. The oh-so-vicious critics declare in reviews printed in the Daily Mail and the Telegraph that this is an old-fashioned show, a throwback to the worst shows of the 1970s, and that the characters are ugly and mean, and that they are gay stereotypes from the bad old days, and finally, the Coup de grâce, they don't Represent. That's right, McKellan and Jacobi do not serve as flattering ambassadors fro

Worst Morning Yet

Okay, so today's friday and my class starts at 10 so i could get enough sleep and wont have to rush about like every other morning. So i took my time getting ready. I was tagging along a friend in his car for the ride to class and he said we're off at 9:50. Cool. No worries. But then my bestie texted me complaining that the friend that we're tagging along with asked him to finish the appendix of our report (all 3 of us are in the same group) at the very last minute (due date was that day).

Unexpected Positivity After Screaming To Myself In The Shower

Freaking out over what is probably the millionth busted earphone did me some good. After tearing the wires apart and angrily dumping the bits into the trashcan, I went to take a shower and there I lost it. I don't know what set me off but I was feeling pretty shitty all day, so a meltdown was to be expected at some point. I whispered-yelled at myself about how miserable I am throughout the school break, unable to go anywhere and rotting my days off in the house that isn't even mine. Then I don't

Wit

I like people who style themselves as witty, letting fly with the snappy comeback like Oscar Wilde was said to have done back in the gay 1890's. Bless them, because they entertain. Wit is not exclusively a gay talent, although I suppose being gay might nurture the wit in some way, in some cultures. I put a cork on the bottle of wit a long time ago and put the bottle on the shelf. I don't trust wit and don't wish to use it, anymore than I do liquor. Wit requires speed in execution, and speed

Musings From Me

I Feel Like A Role Model...

So I teach in a Middle School, one day a week. Been working there since september with the same group of kids. One of the boys I work with, lets call him Jack. He's very socially awkward and a bit of an outcast from the rest of the group. He reminds me ALOT of me at that age (12). He came up to me at the end of the lesson today and asked if we could speak privately about something personal he's going through and me being the good Samaritan that I am said sure let's go in the staff o

Ebook Cover Contest

So I'm part of a group of authors and readers on Facebook called "Queer Sci Fi". They had their 2nd annual Flash Fiction Contest, just 300 words in a speculative fiction theme incorporating the subject: discovery. Last year in the contest I took 2nd place. This year, I didn't place in the written contest, but the group is putting out the submissions in an eBook so they also ran a cover contest. Out of the 10 covers submitted, I took 2nd. I do get a $20 cash prize, but they won't be using my cove

Teacher's Delight

Today I was walking with Chris toward the school gates after school had finished. I passed my English teacher Ms Patterson who held a stack of folders. "Hey Miss." I greet. "Hey Jordan." She smiles back. As she is wearing something new today, I say: "That's a lovely shirt you have on today. Or is it a dress?" "It's a shirt." She replies rather pleasantly. "Thank you anyway." We part our ways happily. Chris says: "That was nice. You're a genuine kind of guy, you know?" And

When We See You Again - The Final Goodbye

So my brother's memorial happened, despite mother nature's best effort. The nasty rain here delayed my flight, The unusual snow fall, plus cold wet spring prevent the bush for my brother from being dug until two days before the memorial. Which meant we didn't have the sign ready since we weren't sure what we would be able to get. Rather fitting I think for my brother and our family. We never quite fit the mold that society expected of us, my brother more than the rest of us. Many people who

Good Scores For Money

Today at school, I was read out in assembly as part of a list of roughly 50 people or more who did well last year and scored excellence (America's A grade) in 10 achievement standards (which I did). As a reward for achieving this, me, Chris (who is the same person who intended to be gay for a week) and others on the list receive a monetary reward for this by the PTA (Parent-Teacher Association). Last year, it was $30 each for these students. I'm wrapt, but I have no idea how to claim the cheque.

My Writing

I have been writing short stories since my mid teens, sadly all of my original stories from back then have been lost, i guess i began writing as i found it to be a way to escape from my world of worries, pain, depression and anxiety. Now with a far different world from back then, when i use to use writing pads and pen to write my stories, then in my early adulthood moved up to using a typewriter, and now using my laptop computer, my stories have changed dramatically. Thankfully with the world of

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder- The Scars That Don't Heal

A ton has been written on the subject of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Unfortunately, most of it is quite abstruse and to make matters worse, it has a vocabulary of its own. In this blog entry I want to give my readers a basic understanding of PTSD, what it's like and how it's treated. PTSD is a psychiatric condition that effects millions of people world wide. It is quite literally a mental scar left on your consciousness by traumatic events. When I use the word trauma, I'm not just ta
