    Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 15 - Sept. 21)

    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

American Debt: 16.738 Trillion Outstanding 11.976 Trillion "Public"

Here's some updates:   Nothing good on my Grandma's eviction, SSA still is closed so I cannot get her benefit verification. The Housing Administrator still refuses to negotiate (I am this close to writing an editorial in the Boston Globe, damn it I don't want to be labelled as that Gay RINO, but if I have no other choice, I would rather choose family )   I am very pissed off, but what got me to write this is not anger, but fear. Republican members in the US House are openly suggesting to not

False Epiphanies

One of my favorite authors is Alan Hollinghurst, who won the booker prize for The Line of Beauty. His prose is what captivates me the most, lush and lyrical and beautiful.   I was working my way through booker prize winners when I first came across The Line of Beauty. I didn't know what the plot was about when I opened it. I thought the first couple pages were boring. Just when I was going to put the book down, the MC puts out a gay personal ad in the paper. And bam I was hooked. Yeah ... I

eBook Review: Orbital Decay by Allen Steele

Orbital Decay by Allen Steele My rating: 4 of 5 stars   I wanted to read this book because the description is so relevant to today. Set in 2016, we aren’t stuck with things like stone washed jeans and bulky cell phones that could double as exercise weights. Of course there are a lot of things that haven’t become as advanced as we are currently, but then again, authors don’t own crystal balls. Yet, this is a classic genre feeling book that drew me back to my first love of science-fiction with

10 Years Clean & Sober

10 Years Clean & Sober   A.K.A What a Long Strange Trip it has Been     October 1, 2013 I got this nifty little medallion.     It means after years of fucking up with the assistance of various chemicals, I wanted to change the downward trajectory of my life. It means I am no longer the life of the party. I don't have cocaine in my underwear. There's not a bong under the sofa. There aren't any bottles under my bed, in the pantry or under the seat in my truck.   It didn't work out

I'm A Lucky Man

As I type this I'm sitting on my patio, watching 'lil q grew up before my eyes. Gone is the infant/baby/toddler who I had to carry around to do everything. She's walking around, playing with her new sandbox, then her mini big wheel [okay so it's a barbie version of it that grandma bought her but still] and then she set out to explore the yard. Not once did she require my help as she marched off, looking to see what was to see. I hover between a smile and tears as I watch her find her way. I know

ACA and me.

Well this healthcare.gov website has to be the glitchiest website I have ever tried to use. I've encountered at least 5 DIFFERENT errors when signing up, logging in, verifying my identity, uploading documents or just navigating!   It's so frustrating...   I'll probably drop by the med center here on campus some time this week to talk to someone. I'm not really sure what to expect.

Where I am, Where we are heading

After some rest and some evil plotting from me with my new story ....I feel a little less angry, but it is still there.   My grandma's problems have not ended, my feeling of betrayal has not subsided, and my anger directed towards the Tea Party movement will probably not diminish.   Honestly, I don't know where I am in terms of my life or politics. I hate what the Tea Party movement has done to my party; I warned as many people back in 2010 that it's a mistake, but few people listened to me

You Should Be Dancing - The BeeGees   4.   5.   6. Night Fever- The BeeGees   7.   8. I Feel Love- Donna Summer   9.   10.   11.

Pro's and Con's: My day

Okay, I should first announce that my new story's 1st chapter is going live tonight. It's definitely a love child of passion, interest, and even a bit of comedy I could not have done this without Kitt's help in editing.   https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/Causality/2 That's the Pro of my day, next comes all the Cons:   Son of Bitch! is all I can say about my grandmother's housing administrator.

October? Already?

There are few things going on right now that are driving me nuts. I can't believe we are already in October. Seems this year is in fast forward. How did the time slip away so fast?   I am going to bounce around, so those who read this, I apologize in advance.   First up - The government shut down, again! I can't be bothered to point fingers and say whose fault this is. What I can say is if those elected to represent the people decide to put their polices before the welfare of the country we

The Shutdown and Me

I've seen enough to make up my mind about this shit.   Alright, most of the people around GA have only mentioned news stories or circumstantial issues with the government shutdown, let me give you all a real life experience, but first let me lay down three points:   1. I have never been a fan of the Tea Party. The members of the GA Soapbox and GA Right Forum can attest to this fact.   2. I am actually applauding President Obama's no negotiation stance. He is showing courage and leadership.

Juan Linz is dead and US government is getting worse.

Article   I usually stayed away from politics since the Soapbox got closed but this article, linking the passing of a great political scientist and the present crisis of governance in the US, got me nodding in agreement. So I thought I would share it with you in case you wanted to know what you are up for.

Really? "embarassed"

So. All of you know that I should have been born a blonde. But, as I get older, it is becoming more obvious. My antics are almost unbelievable, but true.

Nope, I'm still me evidently.   "back at the farm" A couple of weeks ago, hubby was over at the lake, filling the fish feeders, cutting the dam, etc. I decided to try to help him with the outside chores, an

From A Single Man by Chris Ischerwood One adjective hahaha. Two adjectives hahaha. Three hahaha, four, five, six, seven, (Work it Chris!), eight, nine adjectives hahaha. **Cue lightening and thunder** Sesame Street anybody? On a minor thought, the book is ok reading, if you don't mind literary fiction. I prefer the movie version then again the movie version is very different from the book. For one the MC in the movie is a lot nicer than the MC in the book. While the MC in the book does hav
