    By wildone

    First thing first, I really need anyone who is thinking to enter our yearly Anthology, please see Val's Thursday blog and if you fingers haven't started typing, get them going! As you read this, I am indisposed. Read into that what you want . But I'm up by a lake in the mountains looking at the colours change for fall.  So next week in the northern hemisphere, we flip into fall, autumn, whatever you like to call it. Down under the equator, they are about to hit spring   What is y

Two Weeks Later and My Friend's Official Obituary

It's been two weeks since my friend Stephen died. I checked out his FB page, and found a link to his obituary.   It's so strange. I've actually had this habit since I was 11 or 12 years old of reading obituaries. This guy in high school said I was morbid for doing so, but I've always liked reading about the interesting and long lives of people who lived through things like World War II or the Great Depression. I also like to visit cemeteries, check out tombstones, read the dates, and imagine

A song that didn't make my list for stories but is still awesome

Blink 182- Won't Be Home for Christmas was one of my favorites for a long time; irreverent, edgy, and real     It's a good song for all the opposite reasons that Christmas Shoes is good song to me. I like Music that is deep and emotional or Irreverent and satirical. It complements my personality traits; I am very traditional conservative guy, but I also have extremely Socially Liberal views and aggressive opinions. I'm not Bipolar, just a quirky guy with a taste for opposition.   Here's

Bully and a Black Eye

This is absolutely crazy. My eight year old grandson is sporting a black eye. "real black eye" His eye is almost swollen shut, and black puffiness below. He was defending the same little boy from a few weeks ago. The teachers told my daughter that they were looking into it. The little guy Kyle defended is very young and naïve. What is going on here? Kyle's teacher told my daughter that the bully hit the younger child and Kyle jumped up and punched the other boy in the face, resulting Kyle

Two steps back for India

So with more and more countries making progressive steps to equalize rights between homosexual and heterosexual persons, I guess it is unfortunate that there are some countries that will try to reverse that direction.   First, Russia made international news making the promotion or homosexual lifestyle illegal.   Now we have India's Supreme Court overriding a lower court ruling in 2009 that ruled an 1860 law outlawing "carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or anim

The problem with "democracy"

asamvav111 posted this depressing news item today   http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-25329065   India's top court has upheld a law which criminalises gay sex, in a ruling seen as a major blow to gay rights. The Supreme Court ruling reverses a landmark 2009 Delhi High Court order which had decriminalised homosexual acts. The court said it was up to parliament to legislate on the issue. According to Section 377, a 153-year-old colonial-era law, a same-sex relationship is an "unnatur

Twas the Fight Before Christmas

It's no secret that I am a Christmas idiot. When Halloween ends, I'm all about Christmas. I start planning to put up my tree, start my shopping, and plan my Thanksgiving Dinner so I can get it out of the way and concentrate on Christmas. This year it has been a nightmare!   Thanksgiving was at my house, so I assembled my tree, left it in the porch house until the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I had about twenty folks for Thanksgiving Dinner, and out of the five women over twenty there, my t

Why do people hate Christmas Shoes so much?

Alright, after a few days of tear jerking, instead of my usual kind of jerking I started to research the history of the song that was recommended to me by my Youtube (I was browsing Christmas songs for new things, Clarkson's "Grown up Christmas List" is on my playlist as well). I found out it is ranked as the worst Christmas song ever by several people and Gawker.com     As a gay man, yes, overly Christian dogma is scary, but I really don't get that from this song even though the band th

Holiday Punch - POW!

I'll admit it. Punch seems forever relegated to our grandmothers' generation of teetotalers, but there is a reason why our great, great grandfathers called it Punch - the real stuff packs a wallop!   There are hundreds of recipes for both boozed-up varieties and virgin ones too. But, the thing that is true of every punch is its sweetness. In the 17th century, sugar was a luxury and saved for holidays like Christmas. One of the best versions, whose recipe dates back to the 1690's, is Fish Ho

Trials and Tribulations

I'll be wrapping up Trials and Tribulations with the next chapter.   Will there be more to come? In a word, yes. However, the time frame on that is up in the air. The big mistake I made with this story was not having it written before I started posting. I won't make that mistake again. Whatever I write to continue this story will be completely written, beta read, and edited before I start posting it.   I'll say more after the last chapter is written.   Thanks everyone!   Billy

The Kiss

You can move mountains, they say If only you ask with love I found it true when my Softest touch moved your reluctance away And I saw the sun rise Though before I was blind And its warmth pierced my heart In million rays, in million ways I felt it burn, I cried out “Gloria in excelsis Deo” Every kiss tells a story Ours was the beginning       ©asamvav111

eBook Review: No Flag by Liz Borino

No Flag by Liz Borino My rating: 4 of 5 stars   I tried to read this, stopped in a few pages, tried to read this, stopped in a few pages... The early hook with the dramatic scene into the past plot line drives me bonkers. It colored the story for me and let some of the initial romance down.   That being said, I'm so glad I read the story. Once I got to a certain point the character's bond and the pain/drama they went through reached me and kept me reading. I've had a bit of a thing for mili

Time - Where did it go?

Since Thanksgiving I have been on the run. I haven't been sleeping well or keeping up with much.   My father's surgery went well but he is still recovering and that goes slowly.   It seems the post office is playing hide the mail. One of my bills sent out over two weeks ago still hasn't arrived. I got a call today if the bill isn't paid by tomorrow I lose my insurance. Now I have to run there and pay it. Watch me pay it in the morning and check clear in the afternoon.   I finally got my ho

EDM with great vids

Great song, hilarious MV, with a message that really rings true to me.   1) Avicii vs Nicky Romero - "I Could Be The One (Nicktim)"     Transgenderism (lol not a word) in EDM. JEAH.   2) Avicii - "Silhouettes"

Old, Familiar Carols

Christmas carols played repleatedly in our home during December when I was little. We had three albums of carols and I would stack the wax records up on the spindle of the record player so they would drop automatically at the end of one side of the disc. I don’t think we ever had more than three albums. If my parents ever possessed tapes of Christmas music, it was after I’d left the house. Money was always tight when I was growing up and music was not something my parents spent money on. My

It has to start somewhere.

Once in a while I believe that I have something worthwhile to say that doesn't quite fit in my profile feed or the forums. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen. But as everything needs to have a beginning, I will start by offering the beginning to a story that I am working on. It has no title so far and I don't think that it deserves a sneak peek forum entry just yet either. As the story progresses I will have more of an idea of what genre it belongs in and what tags to attache to it.

Biphobia, monosexism and pansexuality

I was browsing Tumblr the other day when I came across this quote:   It's a quote by a woman named Amy André, from a speech on bisexual health.   I was reminded of it when this thread emerged in The Lounge, regarding olympic diver Tom Daley. Now, Tom Daley has said that he's in a relationship with another guy. Good for him. I think this is awesome. He also says he still fancies girls. As far as I'm concerned, this places him pretty firmly in the bisexual category as far as
