Phone Screw-Up

I just discovered that I racked up a $953 phone bill. My mother is, of course, pissed, and I feel pretty guilty.   When I was 16, I used to have scorn for the people who lived their lives on their cell phone. Now I'm like, one of them. So weird. I never thought it would happen to me.   This is what happens when you make your social life revolve around your phone.

A War for Oil

Two nations and their allies fought a tremendous war over oil.   One of them was militaristic and aggressive. The other was more interested in building their economy.   It started when the militaristic nation attacked a weaker, backwards nation that could barely defend herself. The militant nation turned their war machine on the weaker nation, slaughtering her population and looting her resources.   Horrified by the attack on a nation that could barely defend herself, the economic powerhou

Apparently, I'm a jock

That's a bit of a stretch, even for me. But when someone calls you that, you can't help but smile (or giggle like a schoolgirl). Apparently, there's trail cred for running with the fast/long distance guys. I was introduced to a runner from a different group who remarked "Oh, you're a Kenyan now". I had to have her repeat that because I didn't know what she meant at the time, but then someone explained it to me. Kenyan's

What do Author's want to hear?

Just a bit ago I was asked by a member on a yahoo group about my favorite stories here on GA. I could have gone on forever and I probably sound like an advertisement.   But it got me thinking.... of how I read ALL of these great stories and I hardly/rarely leave the author's any feedback.   It got me wondering what the author's want to hear... sure they probably get a lot of "Great Chapter", "Excellent Work" or "Darn you CliffJames".   I feel like I am being redundant when I mention what o

Not entirely certain where I'm going with this

As I say, not sure where this is headed, and the beginning may be screwed to all hell. Only thing I know for sure is that all this sounds different happening to someone else.     ***Untitled Piece*** Funny how life works out.   Two months past, I was curled up in his arms, trying everything I could to not think, 'There will not be too many more nights like this.' He was going into the Army within weeks, and within days I had to leave to start college. Because of his grades and my heart, ne

*Imagine that this is a really cool title that I came up with and you guys all love it*

Hey, f**ktard! Yeah, you! You f**ker!   How are you buddy, how's it hanging? (Mwahaha, *Camilo laughs at a joke no one else gets but he does so that's all that matters*)   Hehe, well I truly forgot pretty much about every single online friend that I have. Well, I got my typical excuse, I was soooooooooo busy,   It's true! I really have no time to do shit! Plus college applications are starting and it's one of the most painful processes you can ever go through. First, you have to take t

good weekend

I went to San Francisco last weekend to visit friends and participate in Lovefest, some gay ass dance festival.   It was probably the best weekend to date, of my life and I shall lay it out for you.   Friday -   I left Friday morning around 4. Easier to drive that way especially getting through LA which is a huge choke point of traffic once all the working class people get out of bed. It would probably put me behind maybe 3 hours of my journey just to get through LA county.   I flew th

Good News, Pinched Nerves and Computer Failures

Okay, to start off on a positive note, I had my one year anniversery with Matt over the weekend where we did a whole bunch of things and he got me one of the cutest thigns ever, a fishey (and the tank, food, etc.). I decided to name my fish Sushi because I love irony of late and thought it would be in good taste (no pun intended).   Also I got to be a computer genius by helping my sister connect to the internet (our router was FUBARED dunno why, but it's not my fault! I SWEAR! ) from memory.

Broken Squeeze Toy

It was shaped like a Turkey leg and was a most unappetizing gradient of orange and yellow. I remember it smelled sweet of soft vinyl, the way a Madam Alexander doll does. Like any chew toy, it made the most horrendous of squelches when ever it was squeezed and released. Christy however, wouldn't settle for that. As he did with almost every toy he ever got, he chewed at the weakest part until the squeeze was rendered useless by a larger hole...   I remember the first time I saw him, it was moth

Infatuation, and Love

You meet someone and you're awestruck by them. Here's how I think it can go- the first is that you meet the person, and you think they "hang the moon", to use one of Adam's phrases. You're blinded to their faults in that initial rush of attraction, but as you get to know them, you realize that something's off, and they're not as perfect for you as you thought they were. It could turn out they're downright horrible people with an initial charm (aka Neal in ISWB), or it could just turn out they ar

Week 5

Four Win Teams:   Vikings- Looked strong against divisional rival Green Bay. Play the Lambs week 5 and then have the Ravens.   Broncos- Will have to continue to play well because they have the Pats, Chargers and Ravens over the next three weeks.   Colts- Have the Titans, Lambs and 49ers over the next 3 weeks and may have a legit shot at coasting to 7-0.   Giants- Play the Raiders and get the Saints in week 6.   Saints- The Saints won with something that they aren't known for: defense

Blow a Poison Dart at THE MAN

I started my first full time job three weeks ago. And it's such an adjustment. I went from college life of commuting, skipping classes, goofing off, to bumming around for a year, also goofing off....to sitting in an office 9-5, dealing with bitchy employees who like to play tattletale and teacher's pet...GAHHHHH, and seriously the day just crawls by!   In reality, it's not so bad. I spend most days surfing the net, and this past week, I didn't do anything since the nurse and research director

Voices

I was walking through the halls today and this guy was standing there talking to another guy. He was ordinary looking; I hadn't really noticed him. But when I got close enough to hear him, his voice just drew me in. It was so deep, really really deep, with a melodic quality to it. Suddenly this ordinary guy was transformed, in my mind, into an adonis just because of that.   That made me think about guys and their voices. There are guys with nasally voices. Some of them are cool, in a s

Racist pigs, stupid drivers, and zesty Italians

Okay, so I went up town to do a bit of shopping. That's not all that unusual. As I was walking from my car into HEB (a grocery store), I noticed a couple of African American women chatting in front of the store and didn't really give it a second thought until... The stupid asshole was walking into the store itself when I was when he whispered something to the effect of "stupid n***ers talking". I wanted to knock out his f**king teeth, but I kept my composure. And this wasn't some old-looking red

five years

Today I've been clean and sober 5 years.   I've been through a lot of changes in that time- not all of them for the better. Seen some difficult times that I would have really rather been somewhere else.   It's not easy starting again after 40. If you use drugs and alcohol, I suggest getting clean and sober earlier. People love to give second chances to young people. When you are older, I guess they figure that you should know better. It's much harder and takes more grit than most people have

Twitterpaited. (this has nothing to do with brief updates)

I thought this was supposed to happen in spring?   Oh its not me mind you, rather my sisters. One is all stupid for one of the guys working on the freeway, the other ... well the other is just stupid, but more on that in a moment. Im kinda happy for my older sister, she is into this construction guy, he seems to be into her, in that whenever he is in the station he watches her, no matter who he is dealing with. The two of them went to lunch yesterday, it went well, he asked if she would be wor
