Oscar Pistorius - from hero to zero

Today the prosecution completed their case with the final summing up. The defence summing up starts tomorrow.   This trial's now been going on for over 5 months and I am sick of seeing the face of OP. The sooner this trial is over and this dangerous psychopath is locked up "for life" - 25 years - the better.   There, I feel better already

Rip: Trebs

Rest In Peace We must share the sad news that Trebs, or Robert, as he was known to many long-time friends on GA, has passed away, far too soon, from his battles with lymphoma. As a board member and administrator, he has been involved with GA for a long time. He was a big presence in the site blog in recent years, but he was so much more than that and often active in quiet ways. He was always willing to help others whenever, and however, he could. So many of us here were lucky enough to

As GA-members, Why Do We Read?

As of late, some of you GA members may have noticed that I have been sharing some quotes about books, the value of reading in general, as well as some inspirational citations by famous and not so famous people as regards the value of books and reading in general, as personal “status updates.” As I happen upon these “quotes” in articles and books, as well as on the Internet – I’m an incurable bibliophile with an unquenchable thirst for a good narrative – I find myself getting excited by these lit

Gay themed movie review "Yossi"

This movie makes me feel so happy and depressed, because gay guys deal with a lot of these issues of moving on after a relationship. Yeah, most of us don't have to face the death of our partner, when we separate, but the same issues persists that "Yossi" highlights.   I'm not going to give you guys a full synopsis or plot overview: I will simply say this; after Yossi lost Lior/Jagger, he became a workaholic doctor and has a lot of issues with his sexuality, guilt over his dead lover, and simpl

the humble trilobite

See this little guy? He's a trilobite. His family of marine arthropods first appeared in the early Cambrian era (520 My). They formed the class Trilobita and flourished in all the worlds oceans. They flourished for millions and millions of years in all the worlds oceans. There were a dizzying variety of trilobites- numerous species and sub-species that adapted and specialized in their local environments.   Suddenly at the Permian extinctions, they were gone. One of the most successful marine a

Rollercoaster of Emotions

*passes out cigars* Well, it's a boy! My little nephew was born 10:29 p.m. EST weighing in at 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Mother and son are doing fine. He makes number 6 in his generation- I now have 4 nieces and 2 nephews ranging from 19 years to a few hours old.   It's been a crazy week. I had to deal with the fallout of my internship loss. I had to deal with the reality of setting up plans for getting to my friend's memorial on the 9th. And then I got to see my little nephew born, who's middle na

Age.....

So lately I have been asked how old I am.   I don't understand why it is frequently coming up and I am fine with my age. Really.   So the issue has been people don't believe me when I tell them I am 32.   When I joined the Y they didn't believe me and I had to show my license. I told them who would lie and make themselves 32 to be older? Maybe I would put myself in the 20's bracket but definitely not 30's,   This has becoming increasingly annoying. So now when people ask I think I should

After School Special Lessons

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I went ahead and got through the humiliation of turning back in my state I.D., badges, uniforms, and signing my exit papers. It was difficult and upsetting, but also pretty illuminating as I tried to put into words what failed about this internship- on my side as well as on my supervisor's side.   It seems as if there are two guys that I can be- there's the responsible one that developed in grad school, through four successful internships, and can be pretty

#amwriting - All About Twitter

As some of you know, I am a fairly recent and fully immersed convert to the power of twitter. I have discovered cool new art through twitter, bought awesome things, been amused by cats and found new horse-based free to boot. And boots, the guy who sells my western boots often posts pictures of new arrivals on twitter – it’s generally delightful.   My twitter feed is made up of three things: general and often strange musings; #cowboyhour, a weekly event I run where each Friday we indulge in som

Questions? PC v Laptop, manufacturer v dealer

I'm looking for advice here. I'm in the market for either a new pc or laptop. Money isn't the over-all issue. I want a device that has windows 8.1, i5 or i7 chip, 8-16 gb of ram, 500 gb-1 tb hard drive, that comes with whatever is the best word processor. Where would be the best place to look, the manufacturer or a dealer? And which would be better, a pc or laptop?

When Things Don't Work Out

Well, my internship with the state park did not work out. I'm pretty shocked and sad about it.   Long story short, they felt like a particular incident showed that I had not gotten over my behavior problems from a decade ago, and given that I had a lot of baggage with them from that time period, they did not feel like I was a fit with them. I was given a second chance and I blew it.   It sucks and I'm pretty angry at myself. I know I'll move on- I closed a door with ever working with the sta

Gay Themed Movie Review "Yossi and Jagger"

I am bias about this movie, I really liked it as an 18 year old trying to figure himself out, and as a 27 year old, I still like it, because it is relevant to our times, which is quite sad and tragic.   I am going to leave my commentaries about Israel and its military towards the end of this review:   Plot:   Yossi is an Israeli military commander and Lior,, his subordinate and a team leader nicknamed Jagger due to his handsome looks, are in a budding gay closeted relationship on a Lebanon
