End of the Year Thoughts

In the last few days, I've had a few conversations that caused me to reflect about various songs and their lyrics. After hearing "St Elmo's Fire" on the radio, I talked with a new friend about how it and Breakfast Club were the movies that defined my high school/early college generation. I graduated high school in 1983 so both movies were very topical for me. The rebellion of Breakfast Club, and the tight friendship circle of St Elmo's Fire were reflections of what I was living.

A look back at 2013

I sit after having done some of the things my mom always did for the holidays. I put a coin in the window as wish that I wouldn't ever be totally broke, had a piece of fish for good luck, and I was going to watch Dick Clark's Rocking New Year's Eve but just don't have the desire to see the new hosts.   I look back at this year and am ready to see it go. There have been many issues. Sometimes I wish I could have been better prepared. My back was the main and over all issue of the year. From the

happy New Year to my boy...

Sonnet No. 142 [December 31st, 2013 – 2:21 pm]   As it ticks its arbitrary passage, The new year's countdown makes me think of them – All those young men, and the time they bridge, For their beauty stays, though the years condemn. And you and I? – How will we remember The fullness of this vanishing moment, From the vantage of many years' number, Together for the lifetime that we've spent? Youth may fade, but perennial as New Years, The fresh-faced count replenishes like grass – The

the ones and zeros of existence

Sonnet No. 141 [December 31st, 2013 – 8:09 am]   Like a curtain of scintillating sheath, The ones and zeros of reality Matrix themselves flatly in our belief, Then settle in forms of finality. Hindus conceive of all experience As being set down upon the pages Of Akashic knowledge that we may reference, If our hearts are pure enough for the ages. And so in living code I have writ you Large in the great book with its sacred seal, Whose transparent veil can only be seen through With t

There's this guy I like but all we ever talk about are raves and school. Also he hasn't gotten back to me when I asked him out.

Csr Discussion Day

Happy end of December! As 2013 comes to a close we have one of my stories for the Can't Stop Reading book club. You can read Bonds Unbroken, the first story in my Carthera Takeover trilogy in Stories if you haven't already. Renee was kind enough to interview me for the blog, so we'll go straight into that!   First a few more general questions:   If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor? Hmm… I don’t know if I have a mentor about writing. Nephy gave me some amazing tips

2013 Be Gone

I know it’s a little before the new year, but considering recent events, it seems fitting to reflect on the events of the past year. It has been quite a rough year for my family and I will be so glad when 2013 is behind me and I hope for a much better 2014.   There have been major gaps in posting this year and there have seriously been times that I had considered giving up on writing as I wasn’t in the frame of mind where I could compose a story. There have been times where I wanted to go f

Special Review - 2004 Winter Anthology: Christmas

So, I'm sure a lot of people noticed that I was asking for reviewers for a special project. Thank you to everyone who responded. With Christmas being this week, I thought it might be neat to take a look at the first ever anthology on Gay Authors. The theme for the 2004 Winter Anthology was "Christmas" which seemed rather fitting considering the season. I asked each reviewer to pick a story from that first anthology and review it for this special review feature. I hope you enjoy reading these sev

What do I believe in?

I finished writing my Christmas story and while writing it, I expressed some stuff that has been festering in me for a while.   https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/christmasthemedstoryalifesworth In terms of my faith, I really can't be considered a mainline Christian, because to me, I think Christianity as it is in today's religion is incredibly diluted and deluded.   I don't like how Christianity has taken the route of power by manipulating political figures and movements, creating strife

Retail's insanity quest, holiday or otherwise

Is there no limit to retail greed? It just seems that they'll do anything for a buck these days. One of those things has to do with business days and hours. Walmart, for instance, operates their supercenters 24/7, 364 days a year. They bow only to Christmas Day. This even includes stores in smaller, rural locations, such as communities of 15,000 or less. How many people in these small towns realistically shop at 3 in the morning? But this isn't just about them. There are plenty of guilty

Criminalization of Homosexuality in India: All that is black is not coal!

Ok, I have stayed silent for long... for too long it seems. There has been a good number of blog posts in GA and thankfully all of them are in favour of the LGBT community of India. This was expected. GA is a safe space and a close community of great solidarity. In today's hateful cyberspace, this is a truly unique oasis of love. I am really thankful for GA. But, regarding this matter, there has been some amount of confusion and misinformation as well. I want to target those and clear the air a

Musings From Me

Hmmm....

So i wanted to get some help from you guys. Or even just advice.   I'm having a few problems around the house and in my life that I don't really know how to deal with. I've spoken with my bf about these things and I just wanted some other ears.   firstly. My mum. She is... unique. Just she seems to be under the impression that i'm not gay. For example, i bought this beautiful scarf in Camden the other week and its probably my favourite thing i've ever owned. And today she turns around to me

Missing Holiday Spirit

It is official. This was the year without any Christmas spirit for me.   Since I have gone to work in retail, life as I knew it was over. This year though work has pushed the idea of holiday over the edge. I worked 51 hours over six days. The store has been closing at eleven or midnight, and opened by seven am. There is a marked lack of customers but that hasn't stopped the non-sense. I listen as other stores this year have gone twenty four hours a day till Christmas eve, like Toys-R-Us and Wa
