    Author Guess Who #21 - Reveal!

    By astone2292

    Ah, the fourth Thursday of the month. We all know what that means, right? It's time for the Author Guess Who reveal! Did y'all have any guesses as to who the mystery author could be? If not, time to take another look at the interview...   > > > HERE < < < So, we have someone who is a fan of both Alan Alda and Jerry Seinfeld, has two Bachelor degrees, and is allergic to dogs. Well, that last part is pretty tragic. How awful! Unable to pet floofy doggos... Those poor, h

All or nothing...

I don't understand it. I guess it isn't something that can be understood, because in order to understand, an uncomfortable conversation would have to take place. Questions would have to be asked... questions that in all likelihood have no answers.   So, in turn, we accept silence. Silence is easier...   Well, silence sucks; the void created is only filled with self doubt.   I thought I was over this years ago. I thought the whole angsty part of my life was far removed from the routine of

Not sure if this can be called a poem

I was addressing a point made on my prior blog entry from Old bob and somehow I broke into a poetic verse. The nature of conflict:   To ignore conflict is a human reaction to seeing too much in their lifetime.   To accept conflict as a burden needed for the future of mankind is to have hope   Well that is divine   Peace will not occur in your time   Peace will not occur in my time   It comes to whether we are ready to fight for this concept, we call peace   Knowing it may fail

Open Source/Closed Source/Both

After a night of not being able to sleep (bleh to that) I did some research concering both areas of software development.   For those who are scratching their head with what I'm talking about, Open Source is programs formed under the various GPL licenses authorizing people to distibute/edit/add/detract from software under the condition that the source code (the mechanics behind what makes software work) is made available as well. Closed source programs are what prevails on the market right now

An update

So, I've been busy between my new job and school lately, and organising my thoughts on Sunny's Angel. I've temporarily placed SA on hold for awhile I think until I become way more organised with it, but in the mean time I'm in the process of gathering my thoughts and such for a new story that I'm probably going to write. After writing the outline vs. No Outline post and seeing other individuals thoughts and such on it, I've decided to try my hand out with a new approach on writing stories. As su

The world is sad, but we must fight on

This might be my shortest entry, but I just feel like saying it.   The world is sad. You hear far too many tragedies created by human beings.   There are far too many injustices in this world and far too many false beliefs that must be fought. Yet, how can we struggle against such a sad world.   I am going to place here, President Kennedy's Inaugural address on why we must continue to fight:

b to the log, SOS, and also, I miss you...

I had to return my car to the dealer today... our lease was up and since Rich isn' t working, they wouldn't finance us to buy it. In turn, we got a new (to us) car, a HUGE car payment each month, and completely screwed over with a 23.5% interest rate... awesome.   I read this today and was pleased to see something that wasn't about their hair styles, or some gay/emo bullshit, in case anyone's interested.

Eurotophobia (Fear of Vaginas)

Okay, I didn't think this particular topic was appropriate for the forums, so I decided to use my blog instead. Okay, I totally don't get it. Vaginas don't do much for me, but I am not in fear of them, nor am I repulsed by them. I personally think this fear is irrational even for gay men. I mean, it's just a vagina. It's not going to hurt you. So you don't want to stick your dick in one. I could live without doing so myself, but why should anyone be afraid of them?   By extension, there is ye

Haunting me

Every time I blog it seems to be a plug for my stories; Damn! I don't like to blog like this, but this one is scaring me.   Well, let's see, talking about my new story, which is haunting me. I can actually see it happening and unraveling in my mind so clearly that it gives me the creeps. It's like sympathy, horror, and an inner sense of satisfaction, when I re-read what I wrote and posted. There's something in that story that makes me feel like I really constructed my own world; a tragedy comp

On Leaving an online site....

I've been involved in lots of online sites, anything from this one to my Yahoo group. There have been times in the past when I've felt the need to move on, either permanently or temporarily, for various reasons. Sometimes someone pisses me off, sometimes I simply grow tired of the group or bored with the posts. In fact, there was a period of time when I took a sabbatical from this site. Why? It falls into the "someone pisses me off" category and revolved primarily around someone who's name

I know, I know ... I'm horrible

Yes, I know I've been horrible about keeping in touch lately. Things have been crazy at work, and I'm in the process of buying my first house, which is a lot more involved than I'd expected. But, home prices and mortgage rates are low, plus that $8,000 new homebuyer tax credit ... so, now is a good time to do it. I've put in an offer on a place about an hour from work. It's kind of far, and a little bit out in the sticks (a nice, newer development, though). It's a short-sale, which means about 2

What to write? That is the question

OK guys (he says, using the asexual version of the word "guys"), I'm having a dilemma. I'm writing two stories now, "A Summer Love," and "The Gunroom." My original intent was to write them in tandem, to try to publish alternating chapters of each. That's not working for me, primarily because I need to write where my muse takes me.   I've been enjoying "The Gunroom" lately, and have done more work on it than ASL. I decided that I'm going to go with it, which means I'll probably publish mo

Fighting over politics

Well, yesterday I got into a fight over the phone with a friend of mine over politics. She's vehemently Republican. I can respect that. However, I criticized the Bush administration and talked about the video I linked in the Gay Left Forum. I tried to tell her that NO president should have the type of power that the Patriot Act yielded. Quite frankly, the thought of a mad man with the power to have people arrested just by calling them traitors is quite frankly unacceptable. That is so similar to

The Way Things Don't Always Work Out

I guess everybody who writes narrative, from the Pulitzer Prize-winner to the hack, has a niche. Granted, some writers demonstrate a wide range of narrative interests and can treat a lot of themes, but there are also very very fine writers who spend most of their literary careers exploring a fairly clearly circumscribed plot of land, so to speak.   I've been tremendously fortunate in my life. I grew up in a great family, I have a decent set of personal resources and abilities, I always had a l

F$%#&&%$#$%

My desktop computer just decided it was time to stop working and just shut off. I try turning it back on and just get three beeps. So I'm on my labtop now =(   Did I mention all of my stories and just about everything was on that computer and that computer only?   I'm having the worst f**ken week.

Spring Break and Nude Beaches

So...   I just got back from Spring Break. We cruised around the Caribbean for a week, and got to spend a couple of days on St. Barts. If you haven't been to St. Barts, you should go. It's awesome. The towns are cute, people speak French and/or English, and they drive really fast on these narrow, concrete roads that look more like paved goat paths.   So we went to a beach that is known for being clothing optional, which is cool because then you get to see lots of boobies. The guys te

A Bright spot in a bad string of events

Ok... if you should know I'm a big animal lover, and if you hurt them or do anything wrong with them, expect me to do something about it! RWAR!   I went to work today and across from my job is a house and on the porch was a dog who was out side. Her name (I later found out) was Dolly. I'm not sure what type of dog she is, but she was really cute. Now I could hear her barking and at first I thought it was cus she was outside. After an hour I look outside and her bark is getting more panicky (yo

Fans

Those of us who have any kind of authorial presence on the Web clearly have the expectation that our stuff is going to be read. We want you to read our stuff, and we love it when you e-mail us about our stuff...usually...and we even enjoy getting to know you. Well, some of you.   Sometimes, though, I get taken by surprise. I've had two readers whose presence in my e-mailbox has caused me some discomfort.   Several years ago, back when the "author's notes" at the beginning of Crosscurrents ad

Frustrated

I'm just writing this because I feel the need to rant, mostly at myself. So, prepare for a slight whine fest.   I just looked at my notes for Sunny's Angel and realized I haven't been following all of them, and am entirely unsure of how to fix the chapters. I feel so bad about this that I've come to the point where I'm preparing to write an outline just to get to an ending point for the story, and yet I know if i do this there will still be a couple chapters or so before I hit the end of Sun
