Fatal Festivity

My last post here said how happy I am to go home. Ironically, last night I recieved a call from my mom telling me, my childhood best friends dad has died. He was suffering from Parkinsonism for a long time, had a mass compressing his spinal cord, which was found to be thankfully benign and he was bed-ridden since early last year. But, he was recovering well. The physiotherapy was paying and the last when I saw him about six months ago, he was able to walk on a surface but couldn't take stairs ye

Seriously, this is the east coast not LA. It's stuff like this that makes you think we are nearing the end.

Festivals and Cold

This is my first blog entry here in GA, and I must tell you I am a lousy bloger. I have started three blogs in my online life and abandoned all three after a while because of lack things to post. Then, why am I doing this now? Do I have more things happening to me now? Well... for starters, I am indeed going through a period of change, no not Sex change, but a change regarding my career, my life, my surroundings and what not. More over, I have matured over the years to be able to find few stuff

Why am I still such a Romantic, when I am so Rational? fixed typo

The job is ugly, my numbers don't see any light at the end of the tunnel if we keep this up. I am awaiting a Board meeting to make a presentation of my findings and hope some of our outside directors can see the inherent flaws in internal management. Heck, even portions of senior management are siding with me (partially to save their own asses, sad but true). Outside of work...I have just found my new favorite gay movie: From Beginning to End http://youtu.be/BH6vtx3HVB8 This movie wa

Story Review Featured Story: The Art Of Walking In Snow

What better way to start off a week, than with a review by Radiant Renee Stevens - and especially when the review is of Hosted Author Libby Drew's The Art of Walking in Snow. Enjoy! The Art of Walking in Snow By Libby Drew Reviewer: Renee Stevens Status: Complete Word Count: 10,666 Scanning through Libby’s story, the title of this little piece caught my eye.

The Cloud (2)

University of South Dakota Vermillion, SD “Throughout the fossil record we can see that evolution proceeds in stops and starts. It does not and has not proceeded in a straight line.” Dr. Jerry Cassidy drew a time line on his white board and put five tics on the graph. He knew that half his students were asleep and the rest only cared because they needed a mid-level science elective to graduate. “The great extinction events have had a major effect on the biological world.

Interview Blast From The Past!

Looking back on old newsletters, I'm reminded of a program that we had of Author Chats. This was before we had a regular chatroom, and so it was a special occasion to schedule a time that an author would go into chat and talk to the community. I very clearly when DKStories had such a chat time, and I got to ask him some questions, that led to PM's and eventually meeting him for a movie. Unfortunately, now I'm stuck with him ;-) So with these fond memories, here is an article from our October

Reflection

Recent events have had me thinking about a lot of things lately. One thing is what lead me to this site. A little over 6 years ago (tax day 2006) I decided to follow the link to the site from Nifty. The link was at the bottom of my favorite story from author Vance aka Vlista20. When I joined the site I didn't know what to expect, nor did I think I would find some many different stories. I eventually branched out and found some really cool stories to follow and authors. I eventually became a

Will have to be off GA for a day or so....

Crazy shit happened today as I just found another $250,000 in costs and problems with cashflow with these contracts that senior management agreed to. Need to do a cash flow analysis, sorry if I am late with Chapter 2 of Big Squeeze. Here's a little reminder of me for you guys:

Big Bird had two gay dads! I'm serious

The two creators of Big Bird were a gay couple, Christopher Lyall and Kermit Love (Nope he didn't create the frog) http://www.queerty.com/turns-out-big-bird-is-the-child-of-two-gay-dads-20121011/ I didn't know that, now all those years of adoring the big Yellow Bird's mannerism makes sense, I think

First, Happy National Coming Out Day (NCOD)! First started in 1988, with the date picked as the anniversary of the 1987 March on Washington, the simple theme is to come out - to those you love, those you know, as people's opinions of LGBT persons and rights is better if they know someone who is LGBT.

ER

I was going to just do a status update, but it was getting a little long for that, so I decided to do a blog entry instead. I kinda hate myself for doing this, but I finally went home and left my Mom at the ER with my dad and sister. I didn't want to leave, but my Mom was worried about me being able to drive home safely (I work 10 hours shifts and by the time I get off of work, I am exhausted). So after the fifth or so request for me to go home and get some rest, I went. I am getting
