I Can't Believe That This Happened In Canada

I am really in shock of the current events of today in Ottawa in our Nations Capital and on Monday in Montreal. I guess I always knew that this one day may have come, but still, it doesn't lessen the deep sense regret that our lives will be changing going forward.   I will try to sum up the events of the past 3 days, based on the latest news reports and the just finished speech from our Prime Minister Steven Harper.   On Monday, two Canadian Armed Forces members, one in uniform, one not, wer

Absence and Life

First of all, hope all of you are doing great and life is going well for you. I miss being here everyday. It's my enjoyment. But, life took a sudden turn and I've had to focus on day to day real life, supporting family. I know I don't need to explain most of it, but I just wanted all of you to know that GA is still my happy place although I've not had a lot of time to spend here lately.   Still, no promises for tomorrow, but hopefully I can soon direct more of my time to GA and my duties he

Author Interview: Renee Stevens

In honor of this month's creepy critters theme, we featured Renee Stevens' story, Joined by Blood, with our October Signature Background. Who doesn't like vampires, right? If you like your vampires bad... this story has them! If you like your vampires good... this story has them! But figuring out which is which...? Maybe not so easy! If you haven't read it yet, you really should, but first, read this interview with Renee where you can learn some more about Interview: Renee Stevens on Joine

Current Reads- "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Me Before You"

I just got finished with two books, very different, but very enjoyable reads.   The first was The Wolf Of Wall Street by Jordan Belfort, where he details his experiences as the leader of the circus that was his stockbroker firm Stratton Oakmont during the heady days of the 1990's economic boom. Its 500 pages and pretty dense, and it took me awhile to read...I started back in August, took a break until a couple weeks ago, and then go to the end. It was a pretty eye-opening read, dealing in a wo

Some General Observations

i like to think I am like most people. i am a social animal, someone who likes to talk, read, observe life. I try not to force my opinions on others, like to hear the good and the bad, the good to feel better, the bad so it is shared and made a little easier.   From Facebook and real life I see enough anger and lashing out at others. I try never to do that. You'll find I post a lot of Peanuts, Garfield, and recipes. I make Happy Birthday comments, congrats on the good news, and offer condolenc

Lost Toys

Very seldom I have much to say, but twice in one day? I do go on!   Sending a note to AC Benus just now reminded me of some of the fun things from childhood--things which due to an over-protective government now, kids will no longer be able to experience. Our children are being robbed of adventurous times and attempts to learn confidence by a schizophrenic society: overly-permissive in some areas, overly-protective in things which should not concern them.   For those who grew up before 1980,

A Tough Weekend

Okay, first off, thanks for all the positive replies to my first entry! I must be getting sentimental in my old age, but it means a lot to me that those who are/have been perfect strangers can find something in my scribblings to comment on. I'm not the sort of person who stands out in a crowd, and don't want to. I let others be the centers of attention while I sit back and watch--not from detachment or lack of interest--but because it's who I am.   Last year I found a copy of my high-school ye

Live Love

The following video by Clayton Jennings is not a pro-gay film; however it does point out the hypocrisy of many self-described "religious" people.

Weekly Wrap Up!

Wow, what a week! This week was supposed to be Signature Week, but due to the situation regarding Google Adsense, Signature Week was put on pause and moved to next week. As a reminder of what I'm talking about, on Monday, our Signature review was taken over part way through the day to feature an important site notice regarding ratings being given to stories. GayAuthors was dinged by Google Adsense for a story that was rated as Everyone but had content that was considered to be unacceptable on pa

Addendum to Methodwriter's Class of 2005

Methodwriter keeps excellent lists of popular songs of yester years in his blogs. If you haven't read them, please do. They're often good choices that reflect the period those songs were first performed. This list is an addendum to his latest list: The Class of 2005 Playlist- We're Here, We're Alive, We're the Class of '05!   Anyways, here are my additions (mostly alternatives and punks). Most of them are from around 2005 but not all (ones in parenthesis are recommended songs that may fall ou

COINCIDENTAL or something Beyond Me?!

I've Known. I've always known. I would say something and it'll happenen. Id think of a movie that's never played on tv or that hasn't played in a long time and the next day I see the add that it's playing. Sometimes while I type the very word is being spoken on tv.   But these are small occurrences. I'm pretty sure all of us experience this in our life but I've had three very REAL things happen that I spoke about by chance.   First occurence.   I think this happened May-July. Mom and I

The truth about Vampires

They do exist but almost everything you know about them is wrong.   Every myth has its beginning in some truth.   About 35,000 years ago and alien expedition was marooned here on earth. They were faced with an impossible dilemma: die out or mix with the locals.   They changed humanity and themselves. Neanderthals died out almost over night and modern man suddenly appeared. It was as if the Neanderthal had a complete upgrade that made them much more intelligent and with language skills.

Annoying Commercials

While watching the Major League Baseball Division Series and now the League Championship Series we have been subjected to some of the most annoying commercials on television.   The Dodge Dart commercial is the worst:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctZsLiAV9eg   The Creepy Rob Lowe Direct TV is also right up there.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMfzh8Zfi5U     I can't understand how anyone would think either commercial could possibly sell those products....

The Class of 2005 Playlist- We're Here, We're Alive, We're the Class of '05!

I just got a FB message from a former classmate, who wanted me to pick up to 20 songs that make me feel nostalgic for high school. So, here are my picks:   1.)

Featured Story: Joined By Blood By Renee Stevens

It's a rerun! Due to the sudden alert of stories being rated incorrectly and Google being a PiTA, (read more here) we preempted a lot of the blog last week. So, to be fair, Renee gets her feature day back again!   Something a little different this week for the review for Renee Steven's featured story, cause I like being different, lol. Most of the time a reader would be the one to do the review, but this time, I'm going to do it. I had the great pleasure to be a beta reader/editor for this st

I Hate the Dentist

Did I mention that I Hate the Dentist?   With all of the fear and loathing and the insane panic that small animals in critter carriers get when they smell that antiseptic smell of the veterinarians office.   I want to flee. Run away, very fast with heart racing, sweating, rapid breathing.   I'm not an easily frightened person. I just have a phobia of men with sharp objects poking around in my mouth.   The gas is fun but it is but a cruel, cruel lie. The gas makes you just a little high.

Prolific

Yes, I understand completely if you all hate me after reading this.   With NaNoWrimo coming up, all of my IRL writing friends are planning their novels and gearing up for, what is to them, a challenge of such enormity that it is all they can think of. Now, don't get me wrong, I spend a disproportionate amount of my time both awake and asleep thinking about my characters (because I am a writer, and that's just what we do), but unlike some of my NaNo friends, I don't try and take my holiday time

What am I, 15 years old again?

I don't usually like to talk about guys in terms of "types"--it seems unnecessarily reductive. But, if I must say that I have a type, I would say that I like my guys extra gay.   You know what I mean. I like them on the nellie side, I like them sparkly, I like them singing musicals and quoting RuPaul's Drag Race and wearing skin-tight pants because for so many years of my life I pined for the straight ones and broke my own heart with it.   I came out fully the summer before college, not beca

To Write or Not To Write?

I've been reading here for over a year, but only got the nerve to write anything in mid-July after getting out of the hospital. I've been an avid reader all my life, mostly sci-fi and history, but I hadn't written anything since college. In high-school I wrote science-fiction and fantasy since those were my favorite reading material, but in college my professors said I had a very good grip on writing more historical stuff, so I did that for assignments.   It took twenty years for me to discove
