Pop Goes The 80's Playlist, Part I (1980 - 1985)

So I need a pick-me-up, and what better way than to listen to great 80's pop? Let's start!   Pop Goes The 80's Playlist, Part 1 (1980 - 1985)   1.   2.   3.   I remember seeing an interview with Madonna where she said that had she know this song would have branded her the Material Girl for the rest of her life, she might not have done it. LOL.   4. "Let The Music Play" by Shannon   5. "Cars" by Gary Numan   6.   7.   8.   This is one bat-shit crazy video.

Knowing the Difference

Facebook has always been a pain to me. I only keep my account open because of family, nothing else. But, how do you know you're in a good place? I'll tell you.   I find myself worrying about friends on here during the day, hoping they are ok. Did they get their job? Has their relationship gotten better? Are their health issues being resolved? Are they just ok? When you join a group of people, you keep an open mind, and an open heart. GA does that for me. It's not stress worrying about you all.

Story update and my thoughts about Kansas' gay Jim Crow law

First, something readers want to hear, I am writing a new chapter for Causality right now. It will be a full chapter that ties into the multiple storylines that I had left off in hte last chapter.   Alex, the Taoist Technomage (basically true in my story, magic is science, now James savik will be throwing cats at me ), is heading into a meeting with the Shinto members from the prior chapter, who were hunting ghosts and seeking out something. Japanese Shinto and Chinese Taoist traditions are p

Valentine's day

Not a very happy Valentine's day. The weather sucks. Not just here in the America, but generally, except perhaps in Sochi.   My son has finally admitted he is a complete fuck-up and has broken his mother's heart.   He has been a financial and emotional drain for almost all of his adult life. It started when he was just eighteen and just out of highschool when he decided he just had to get married to a seventeen year old highschool dropout. She was a bitch from hell. Devious, controll

Thorn's Edibles

Very Garlicky Garlic Butter

This is super easy! All you need is fresh garlic, butter and a little bit of parsley (fresh is better, but dried is just fine).     Ingredients:   50 g butter 1 clove of garlic 1 tsp chopped or dried parsley   1. Soften the butter. If you use a spreadable butter that's part cooking oil you can skip this step, but don't use milk free butter replacements if you can help it; they tend not to melt as nicely on the bread.   2. Press the garlic in a garlic press and add it to the butter.

2014 Story News

As many already know, 2013 hit me and my family hard. It made it difficult to do much writing and I did the one thing I hate doing, I put some "In Progress" stories on hold. I have some big plans with my stories for 2014, so I'm really hoping that this year goes better than last. Some of my plans for 2014 include:   [sharedmedia=stories:stories:3540] Thwarted has been "In Progress" since May 2013. It is currently at 24 chapters and I'm still not sure how many chapters it will be, but it will

Recent extreme weather and Climate Change - update

After two months of incessant and record breaking rainfall Britain is now waterlogged. Literally. All ground aquifers are not just full up, water is being forced out of the ground under pressure at the same time as rain continues to fall from the sky.   We're famous for talking about the weather in casual conversation but it has been headline news now for weeks. Every day. Things are now so serious, and in so many parts of the country, that the government has cleared other business to focus on

The Fantastic Mr. Wilde

To Russia With Love

Personally, I'm boycotting the olympics this year. Sadly, the gay rights aspect isn't even the worst of it. There's corruption at the very heart of the whole thing, more than a third of the money spent is unaccounted for, and guest workers from Kazakstan had their passports stolen by their employers and were deported without getting paid. Basically, the whole thing stinks.   But given the nature of this website, the LGBT issue is the most relevant, so I thought I'd share this little th

Grief and the Messed Up Things It Does To People

I got pretty unsettled tonight. My friend Ethan, who was really close to our friend Steve who died, called me up to talk. Pretty soon it obvious that Ethan was completely and totally loaded, and on the phone he admitted to me that he was on cocaine, Adderall, and Vodka. We just had this ten-minute conversation- well if you could call it that- and he just kept saying these snippets of things. Like about what Steve meant to him, how I'm one of the few people that got Steve, and telling me about ho

Writing, Musing, and Valentine's Day

Alright, no one jinx me, but I've been a bit busy. Yes, my muse found me and has kicked me right in the ass. Last year I could barely get the anthologies out. This year, for whatever reason, I've been finishing one project and jumping right into another.   At the moment Last Christmas is at its mid point. People seem to be reading and enjoying it. For me that is time to do the happy dance. I'm glad when people take an interest and comment. Lets me know where I did right or where I went off the

Scotland nearer to independence

It seems increasingly likely Scotland will vote for independence in September and become a separate nation state. Most people in England and Wales don't seem too bothered at the moment. Maybe that will change between now and September's ballot. Not that it will make any difference because only Scottish residents get to vote   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   A lot of people have asked why is Scotland being given this ballot, including on this site. Well, if you believe in democracy then you must also

Why I'm Not Patriotic

I'm proud to be Canadian, but I'm currently not proud to be a Canadian, at least not domestically. Why? Well:   Federal Government   1. There's the ongoing Senate scandal. Senators on suspension are having criminal charges placed against them for, effectively, stealing tax payer money. Many things have happened as a result of this:   a. The NDP want to abolish the Senate completely. They feel as if it's a complete waste of time and energy. The Senate is so muddled by party politics that no

New Year, New Look, New Things

Time is a precious commodity, you never seem to have enough. Vacations seem too short, work takes up too much time. We all long for that mythical 'someday' - you know that day when we won't have anything but free time to do all the things we want but can't squeeze into our schedule. I know I've been waiting for many years and I'm not totally sure it will ever come.   The last couple years I realized my dream to become published. It's both thrilling and exciting as well as something of a let

Yet another (narcissistic?) update

HI There. I've had quite a busy few weeks, and since you haven't been around for it (Where have you BEEN?), I thought I'd update you here.   Last time we spoke, i think I was looking at completing a major client software upgrade, and so I will start of from there. The awesome thing about this particular client is that their offices are back in my home region, which means I get to see my family. The terrible thing about this client is.... well, everything else.   Everything that could have

I Felt Guilty For Having A Future Because My Friend Doesn't

Today, I spent time putting in job applications...a whole revamp of my CV and resume and cover letters...it's the first time in awhile I put in so many applications and the like. It felt nice.   And then...something strange hit me. I felt inexplicably sad for some reason. Part of it had to be that I had just gotten through helping my mom do home loan modification papers, and that's kind of iffy and unpleasant.   But the other thing...probably the main thing...it made me think about the fact
