Awww....

Today I saw my high school crush. I didn't talk to him obviously but I checked him out from a distance. He was gone for the entire time last week and I was starting to get worried that he moved away! But today, I saw him with his arm in a bandage. Awwwwwww.....he looked so cute even though he'd disfigured his arm which would've really hurt and it probably would've been a big mess. But the arm in the bandage looked cute, I thought. And that's what I wanted to share today. It's a pity I can't sna

C S R Feature: Where Life Takes Us By Kuragari

June is here already! For many, that means a break is coming from school. What better to do during your break than to enjoy another story with the CSR book club? This month I'm featuring Where Life Takes Us by Kuragari. This is a story about how an orphan finds a new home and a family he might not have expected. Where Life Takes Us by Kuragari   Length: 49,379   Description: Step into the life of Wyatt Luis and find out how he handles his new family and friends. Adopted from a n

Beau Biden Passes Away At Age 46

Vice President Joe Biden's son, Beau Biden, has died at the age of 46.   Beau Biden Passes Away at the Age of 46   It's weird. I'm pretty shocked by it, although not shocked. His health had seemed sketchy for the past couple of years, but I didn't think it was like life-threatening because he was still so active.   I have a very vivid memory of watching the 2008 Democratic National Convention on the t.v. with the Delaware Young Democrats Club at Kildare's Pub in Newark, DE, and just the be

G A's Newest Promising Author: Craftingmom!

Please join the Author Promotion Team in congratulating Craftingmom as GA's newest promoted author! Joining just about a year ago, Craftingmom quickly gained popularity on the site and became a favorite author for many readers. Her Tears of the Neko story, both the original and re-write, garnered a lot of interest on the site and launched her into GA's author and reader community. She also has a lot of other stories, but likes to focus on the theme of hurt/comfort so they have a fair bit of angs

Why Gays Win

Why do we see gay rights ascendant in our modern world? Through hard work. Because gays work hard and support the society in which they live. Because gays are not only okay, but positively good and do good works.   When people are unencumbered of prejudice, in the final analysis, when str8 is teamed with gay in the trenches, and by the Goddess they are in modern America, it becomes crystal clear that the Queers carry just as much weight as the straights. Be proud!   Any gay that is OUT feels

Orphan Black

Yes, I am blogging about a TV show from our brothers up North. Call me random.   I love Orphan Black, although at first I hated it, but it grew on me episode by episode until I realized, and it struck me like a train, that Tatiana Maslany of freaking Saskatchewan of all places is going to take over the freaking World, and the Emmy Awards are a travesty against Justice.

Writing Tip: Grammar Rodeo #4

This time for the grammar rodeo, I thought I'd keep our subject matter simple and maybe even fun! Yes, yes, I swear, grammar can be fun--at least when you're like me and find a wicked glee in rolling your eyes at the grammar fails around you!! First, though, let's take a look at a technical writing tip that seems simple, but catches up more people than you might think! Grammar Rodeo #4 Getting It Write Err...

Seems To Be An Endless Array Of Tests

When you have health issues you like to go to the doctor, be told they found the problem and told how to fix it. Fix it can be drugs or diet, you don't care as long as your problem can be fixed.   Mine seems to just keep going.   My primary sent me for blood work, a sonogram, and other tests. He found new issues but not what was causing my original problem. He sent me to a specialist, a GI doc. Today that is where I was. He reviewed the tests I'd been sent for and then has ordered my first e

Unsure About A Movie Theater Job

I'm just got off my third shift as a concessions guy at a large movie theater. I can't stand it. I don't feel like I'm particularly good at this and I'm just not feeling it. I also don't really fit in as a guy who's 29 among a bunch of teenagers. Should I just up and quit? Or should I just see it through to the end of the probation period, and then quit? I do really need the money but I really don't know if they'll keep me. I'm thinking about asking the managers for advice so they know I'm tryi

Csr Discussion Day: Penguin By Valkyrie

This month we featured Valkyrie's short story, Penguin. It's a story about a chance meeting... and of course, the inspiration for the title, Penguin, plays a big part in the story. Check out my interview with Valkyrie, and then leave your thoughts on the story below! She will be available "live" to reply to comments, answer questions, etc... from 8-10 PM, Eastern Time.   Single people often have more time to write. Are you single? Yes, although I do a lot of volunteer work for my profession an

Me And Earl And The Dying Girl- Movie Trailer

Hey guys, this movie's currently on my radar right now...it's called Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, and it won the Grand Prize at Sundance Film Festival. I'm always on the lookout for a good new indie film, and this is looking good. It's the story of a guy in his senior year of high school, who is forced by his parents to befriend a classmate that has cancer. Here's the trailer:     I'm digging it. It's a well-done trailer- letting you know just enough to know what kind of movie this is,

Meditations For A Fictional Story : Outlines For My Universe's Moral Compass

Writing is more than an exercise in your imagination; it is a meditation on creation and destruction, but not always good vs. evil.   I've come to realize that what I am aiming for in my story is not a traditional story of heroes and villains, but a story of three, maybe even four, potential directions.   Here's how the idea works, there are basically three sides in existence: Creation, Destrucion, and Transition.   On a theological level, since I am musing on Eastern Theology and even por

Dangerous Settlers

One day in New Zealand:   Auckland Settlers: *Settles upon land sitting on 50 unpredictable volcanoes.* Wellington Settlers: *Settles at the bottom of north island where wind blows everyone over and every time it rains, the place floods.* Christchurch Settlers: *Settles on land above and close to undiscovered fault lines that has every potential to cause violent earthquakes and create tsunamis.* Dunedin Settlers: *Settles on uneven rolling hills, with climate so cold it snows ever season.*

Erin Go Brah

A big congratulations to my cousins on the Emerald Isle.   The Irish people now have a freedom many gay people still do not have here in the United States.   It may serve as a major indicator of the great change in our lives as gay men and women that we are on the verge of experiencing. Near universal acceptance in the Western World.   You must understand how deeply rooted in the Catholic Culture Ireland is. Of all the nations in Europe, and most certainly in Western Europe, it has been th

Shi'ite Vs. Sunni

I don't often have a reaction to the incessant Sunni vs. Shi'ite warfare now raging in the Middle East, but make an exception following the bombing of a mosque in Saudi Arabia.   Saudis learn from grade one that Shi'ites aren't real Muslims. And Muslims think it is fine and dandy to kill non-Muslims.So, basically Saudis are programmed from grade one to kill Shi'ites and anyone else that is not Sunni.   The Shi'ites and Sunnis are almost as bad as the Protestant vs. Catholic rivalry than plag

Older Than You Think

This is just the worst.   My Dad decided it would be a good idea to post a picture of our family of four on howold.net As the results turn out, this was not a good idea at all. Can I just say before you laugh at the results image that I'm 16 and Mum is 45ish. She wasn't wearing any makeup either.   (Note: Photo has been cropped to disclude rest of family)
