Writing: It wouldn't be fixing /my/ destiny per se...

But I want to start writing some alternative endings to certain stories I've read - not anyone in particular... just go along and see what I can come up with. Anyone got pointers on where I should go to start posting chapters when I'm ready?

It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)

Except that I just paid 10.50 for a pack of Newports. I don't feel so fine about that. I hate New York. So, clearly my best option is to move clear across the country and see how California treats me. I'm wondering how much 'ports are there... I can probably find that out somewhere. I know its unhealthy and all that but honestly? No one that smokes right now doesn't know that so I'm assuming that means we all need a better reason to quit. I'm also assuming that since a pack a day habit wi

Tribute to a Lady

My aunt recently passed away. She's been fighitng breast cancer for almost five years, and we've had a few close calls this last year, but she finally asked to go home the week before christmas. I was working, and wasn't able to break away until Thursday of that week. She died that Wednesday. She was my mom's little sister and best friend. Smart as hell, pretty much the Tax expert for all of the relatives. And beautiful. Most of that side of the family has more looks than sense, but she had

Back on the Chain Gang

I started my second semester of grad school this week. The workload is pretty intimidating, but I think I got it down by this point. I hope, anyway. One thing that struck me is how much more relaxed I feel as opposed to that first week of grad school. Everything- god I just felt like I couldn't breate. I spent the night before my first classes that semester reading the reflections of a woman who dropped out of her PhD program. I was positive that I would flunk out. And I did pretty well.

28) Indecisive Longing

It wasn't until I talked to you on the phone That's when I realized just how much I missed you Your voice brought back so many memories I haven't thought about the "thistle" incident in years And for a time it was like 1995 all over again When we were still an "us" and mostly happy It wasn't until we both hung up the phone That's when I realized just how little I missed you We both know that this life is ever changing This is a fact based on a principle we both understand Friendship

Life is worth an entry

Oops, did not even check that my sig links

I just realized that my link to Exodus lead to nowhere. Just fixed it to redirect to my off site story page. Now to something more interesting: New Orleans was fun and the food was awesome. The Psychic reading at Jackson square was weird, but cool. I wonder if any guys I know are Scorpio, black haired, and 5'8 to 5'5. Supposedly, I will marry him and our romance will begin soon. Cross your fingers. Food wise, I highly advise trying the crawfish, shrimp , and Crab Cakes in

Everybody's Wounded

Everybody's Wounded, by Duncan Ryder, is an award winning story here on GA. Link: http://duncanryder.g...org/stories.php This story was a very complicated yet refreshing love story - yet to describe the story with mere words like intimate, intense, shocking... all just sounds too bland to properly give a description as to the powerfulness of how DR presented the novel. I think Duncan Ryder has brought me outside of the realm of dkstories finally and I think I'm going to begin moving

Reading Dawn of Tears

I've read 28 chapters of Dawn of Tears and so far I've loved it as much as I've loved the first Do Over novel. Although I really would have liked the specifics to be a little more consistent along the storyline, from simple things like calling Dylan's jet first a 797 and then a 787 to more important details along the plot, I really would had a better time reading if the story text was better edited and reviewed. I wonder if people could help Dan edit these stories and republish them?

My Addition to Wolfram Alpha

A while back I was asked to comment on Wolfram Alpha. See what's there. See what I like. See if anything is missing. Never missing an opportunity to comment on anything, qualified or not, I said: For those who don't know or care what a bloody Green's function is, check this. It will build character. Green's Function, formal definition Well- today this was added to Wolfram-Alpha's data bank: My pleasure. I admire old George Green. Anyone who drops out of se

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

It wasn't until I wrote Chronicles of An Academic Predator and 1968 that I really understood the significance of this holiday. I lived in my white-bread suburban world, aware of racial issues and tensions, but not impacted by them, at least not significantly. Then I read about the civil rights movement (riots in Birmingham, the Freedom riders, etc.) as part of the research for those two stories, and was amazed at the courage and fortitude of the people of all races, but especially African

Getting better

Well, I'm getting better in both the physical and mental sense of the word. I've gotten things under control at work which has lowered my stress level and also my anxiety level of trying to get things done in a short time. I'm doing better also with job hunting and getting my things ready to move to the burbs of Philly PA. I talked with my doc and he gave me some advice on how to work things out and how to start with things and he also gave me an insight into what's going on in my head. He s

Best Classic Rock Station Ever

Because I'm old enough to remember when the oldies were new. From Memphis, TN: home of Elvis and great Barbecue, I give you WEGR-FM 102.7 Rock 103. I discovered it in Memphis this week and took them home in the handy streaming audio. This is the email I sent them: Driving home on I-55, I could hear them all the way to Grenada and they played: Pink Floyd, ELP, Journey, Boston, Styx, Aerosmith, Foreigner. Hell- I didn't even think radio stations had albums anymore. Listen i

10 towns, 5 days, 7 1/2 grand

This has been my single best week ever. I won a contract from a big company to roll out a change to their network statewide and replace old network hardware. It all had to take place in one week. Ten sites, state wide. No excuses. Get her done. That's what I did this week. ALL WEEK. ROAD WARRIOR! < now with 35% less kRaZy I have been all over the state. Top to bottom. From the Suburbs of Memphis to the Gulf Coast. Vicksburg in the West to Meridian in the East. I got i
