eBook Review: Finding Home by Diana DeRicci

Finding Home by Diana DeRicci My rating: 5 of 5 stars   Sometimes, I like a feel good story. Diana DeRicci's story, Finding Home, starts out rough for our main character, Parker. He's gotten the crap kicked out of him by life. Sometimes, pride is all a person has left but Parker takes the ride and the $20 offered to him by a well-meaning older man. Even more amazingly... just a short time later, he takes the help offered by a local gay couple, one of which is a local cop, to stick around for a

For Halloween

Sonnet No. 95 [October 30th, 2013 – 7:07 pm]   We are only made of matter that dies, Of bones and marrow; of skull and of brains, And every thought we had will end in sighs, As those who bury us mourn our remains. A Roman mosaic of a skeleton Shows him toasting fate with pitchers of wine – His memento mori is a ghastly grin To remind we toil under a heavy fine. But, finite as the threat hangs on our head, Our necks are blessed with freedom, and with choice, For those who have loved

The Grunge Era Playlist

So, grunge is something I remember and love from my childhood. Here are some great Grunge Era tunes.

That Boy With the Far Away Eyes

That Boy with the Far Away Eyes     I was drivin’ home late Saturday night Through Pearl, Mississippi Listening to bluegrass music on the redneck radio station, And the cowboy said: “You know you should always have your .45 by your side” And I was so pleased to be informed of this That I shot twenty stop signs in his honour, Thank you Joe-Bob, thank you lord   I had an arrangement to met a boy, and I was kind of late And I thought by the time I got there he’d be off, He’d be off wit

Zombies: My Halloween Story

I will freely admit, a certain green fellow on this forum made was on my mind, when I chose to write a Zombie story.   I have seen many zombie movies in recent years; they are the best social commentary devices, second only to Star Trek strangely enough Currently Walking Dead has the best cast, writers, and overall feel to a zombie story and I know I can't equal it in a short story, so I want to go another quieter route for a zombie story.   I know Jamessavik is writing Case Black, so I am

Happy Autumn

Sonnet No. 85 [October 26th, 2013 – 10:16 am]   Around me, baking apples scent the house, While outside, burning leaves smoke in the clear – And the season to my mood is like spouse, For autumn is a cozy time of year. But, now with you, my bundled warmth I'll share, And chilled fingers will soon be warmed by yours, As hand-in-hand we will walk anywhere The bracing wind wends our steps out-of-doors. The smoldering leaves and sight of orange pumpkin Takes me back to the joys of childho

Reduced Stress

The last few months have been interesting to say the least.   For those of you who don't know, I work for a County owned and operated Nursing Home in southeastern Pennsylvania. When the current set of Commissioners took office, they slowly began down sizing and consolidating different departments. The even sold off one of the County office buildings only to turn around and lease it back. I think the main reason was to get out from under the debt from the purchase incurred by a previous adminis

5 Years Gone- Dan Kincaid

This week marks the 5th anniversary of the passing of a very lovely online friend and member of the community, author Dan Kincaid/Sam. (He died, I believe, on either October 25th of 2008, or October 26th.) I only had the privilege of corresponding with him for a few months before he died, but I'm really glad we did. Back in those days, Adam and I were...well, let's just say that we had somewhat of a personality clash going on, and Sam was really good at being a mediator.   He was a very swe

Vampires

Vampires. Since they started to glitter you think you read it all.   I loved/feared vampires since I secretly watched Christopher Lee with my best friend Natasha and hid under the comforter when it became too much. I think I was eight. Count von Count was one of my favorite Muppets. Later I got the shivers watching Count Orlok, tried to imitate Bela Lugosi's accent and wow how I loved 'Lost Boys'.   I could go on and on, telling you about 'Blade', Vlad the Impaler, Irish myths or even admit

Batman Under the Red Hood Review: An example on what American Animated movies can still do versus their Live action counterparts

Based on my reviews, yes I am a Batman and DC fanboy (I will do Marvel from time to time, I like the Hulk storyline and Marvel CCivil War storyline between Capt. America vs. Iron Man's factions)   However, when it comes to Cartoons, I prefer DC and here's a good example why: Batman: Under the Red Hood   The wiki has spoilers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Under_the_Red_Hood   The Plot summary is very obvious to most Comic book readers, but the short version is simple: the 2nd Robi
