Let's Predict the Near Future: uncensored edition

We had a Let's Predict the Near Future thread. It was killed because unless your were joking, you couldn't help address political issues.   Politics comes from a Greek root word that means "of, for, or relating to citizens".   It's everywhere and it's difficult to have a substantial conversation without touching on it to some extent.   I find it very, very disquieting that politics has such a dirty, divisive word that we have to censor any tangential mention of it. That is something we nee

Welcome

Dear all (or to the few who will read this ;-),   Thanks for joining me on my odd journey of writing about not so topsy wolf shifters ... While I'm stuck at MetaWolf Book IV I am following the old tradition of procrastination by doing something else which promises quick gratification.   In this case, I was admiring a photo which shows my perfect CE (see character in MetaWolf): http://www.pinterest.com/pin/221591244139597694/ ...   And before I will attack chapter 12, I will continue to mu

New Beginnings

With apologies to Bleu, from whom I stole the title of this blog shamelessly from one of his comments....   So it has been three weeks in the new job. There are good things, there are bad things. Let's start with the bad things, because it is by far the smaller list. The main thing is, that however much more money and status this job has, it is considerably less challenging than my last one. While some people might relish the idea of a better paid job that is considerably easier, for me it

Over One Year

Can you believe it?   It’s been over a year since I posted Chapter 6 to Hercules III.   Well, Chapter 7 is coming out soon. It’s out of the laptop and ready to stand on its own. Other than extreme bipolar type 1 issues, the drugs for that have pretty well shot the shit out of my creative being. So, it takes time, a lot of time, but one year is too much.   I can’t make any promises for Chapter 8, except to say it will have a thorough going over before it’s sent out, much the same as Chapter

Update: Saying Good-bye and An Unfortunately Sidetrack

Hey guys,   I talked to Tim Saturday and he's doing as well as can be expected. He lucked out and was able to get the charges reduced to a misdemeanor after some cops were talked down. (It's good to know some cops, I guess.) He has a hearing to try and get his car back, and he'll have his hearing October 1st, but things are looking good for him, thank god. He'll just have to pay a shitload of court costs and the like.   He'll be alright, I think. Tim told me he went back on

First Kiss

First Kiss   Imagine this:   You are seated with your fiancée in a movie theater in the late 1920’s. Your arm is around her but your eyes are drawn to the man sitting a few seats away. You’ve had these feelings your whole life, but you can’t act on them. It’s illegal. It’s immoral.   It’s wrong.   You played around with your best friend as a kid. Those feelings evoked a response that aroused you like no girl ever had. The movie is about to begin. It’s a story set a few years ago d

Race: Does the color of my skin really matter?

I'm not black, I'm not White. I am just a Chinese boy, who happens to like boys and is blind in one eye. Being gay and blind is already a rarity, race for me usually does not become a major subject. Yet, I know there is racism in the world; especially in the deep south.   My oldest childhood friend is black; we're both blind in one eye and we're both highly intelligent. (I have a 132 IQ, he has 138). However, our lives diverge from there. While I got my Masters' degree and currently make upper

Back to skool

Monday I go back to skool after all these years.   I got my computer science degree in 1986. There have been a few developments since then that I need to brush up on.   I'll be learning about the finer points of next generation fiber optics, ip/pbx systems and other new hardware.   I have plans and the certifications on the new gadgets will help.   Imagine that- an old geezer like me in school again.   I wonder if the freshmen are as dumb as they used to be...

How Long Till It Feels Like Home?

So I've been living here in my new place in the "new" city now for a month and a half. Everything that was new and exciting before has become routine and comfortable, and no longer has that "oh wow, this is so different" factor. And that I think is a good thing because it makes daily living more comfortable. Riding the subway, driving in insanely aggravating bumper-to-bumper traffic every morning, going to a new gym, living in a very dense neighborhood, finding new places to shop, etc. have all

Tribute To Trebs

In Memory     Last week, on August 7, we were all stunned and devastated at the news that Robert (aka Trebs) had lost his battle with Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Anyone who knew Robert knew what a truly genuine and caring person he was. He was always willing to help, always willing to lend an ear, and just always willing to be there if someone needed him. We were all certainly better off for having known him.   Earlier this week, we were approached by a GA Member who wanted to ask if

Rip Robin Williams

Okay I have to let it out. I'm crying my heart out right now. I'm broken. My favorite actor Robin Williams has died. The second I saw the headline I started crying. My brother was making fun of me for crying but I don't care. See everybody growing up watching him I was amazed how much talent a person could have. He could play any thing. He could a hundred voices and all of them spoke to me. He could make us laugh . He could make us cry. He could make us feel. Watching him, made me want to make

Saying Goodbye and the Unfortunate Sidetrack

So, I took the Greyhound up to New York City on Friday, with the plan that I'd stay with a college friend that lived in Long Island. Another friend was coming, and we'd all go down to Steve's memorial the next morning. Well, that was the plan, anyway.   The Greyhound was over an hour and half late- the New York City Tunnels are an absolute nightmare of traffic, though it was cool to see the New York City skyline complete with the new World Trade Center. The one and only time I had set foot in

My Friend Robert, Rest In Peace

I have been trying to think how to put into words what I feel about my friend Robert since I heard he passed away. It is difficult, to say the least.   I have been friends with Robert since not long after his arrival here on Gay Authors. We bonded over our shared love of the stories written by dkstories. In fact, we both loved the one story that we never posted here on Gay Authors. It's over on Nifty if you want to figure it out.   When the time came for me to finally break Gay Authors away
