    Secret Author Contest-Forbidden Is... Revealed? Nooooo.

    By Cia

    Ha! Did you think it was time to share the stories and authors? No!! Total clickbait. Heehee! That's right, time to vote on your favorite! Now, to be fair, it would be ideal to have read ALL the stories. Can you vote without having read them? YES! Because this is about your favorite use of our theme of Forbidden Knowledge that you read in this year's Secret Author Forbidden Knowledge stories. Pick a SINGLE title, this isn't your top three. It doesn't even have to be your favorite overall st

Detroit Tigers & San Fran

The Detroit Tigers are on a winning streak again ... well, it's only two games so far, but it sure beats how crappy they were doing the past couple weeks. AND, it looks as though Gary Sheffield will be back in the line-up tonight. Now, all they need to do is get Joel "Zoom-Zoom" Zumaya off the DL (aiming for Aug. 21st, baby!) and get Kenny Rogers back in shape, and we've got a good shot at the World Series again. Woo-hoo!   I got my plane and hotel reservations today for my trip to San Francis

The Down Escalator

I wish I could figure out how to make money with this. There should be some way to get this thing to be productive.   I hit my peak a couple days ago.   I'm still pumping out the words on The Pastel Cowboy, finished Chapter 15 and got it out the door. Chapter 16 is muddling right now. I need to make a time shift. I need to be a couple months forward, but I also need to use the gun introduced a few chapters back, get two boys back together, get two other people (note how I don't say who) toge

Coolest thing I've seen in a while

This is Old Faithful at Yellowstone erupting in front of a June skyscape featuring the Milky Way to the left. The bright object at the top of the plume is Jupiter.   You can find really cool astronomy pictures like this at Astronomy Pic of the Day.   This one comes from Astropics.com

Just a second

First off let me appologize for my last entry. I was really upset when I posted it, and the more I think about it, the angrier I'm getting. Mainly at myself for buying into a bunch of crap that I shouldn't have bought into. I won't get into the details of everything, but what I will say is that I was told some pretty hateful things by someone last night and I let it all get to me when I should have just brushed my shoulders off and held my head up. To be honest, what was said to me made me rea

you know those sayings?

Anything that doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. God only gives you what you can handle. When the going gets tough, the tough, get going. Etc...   Who decided I needed to be this able or any stronger than I already am, which if I do say so, is pretty damn strong already. I have had one heck of a time since Wednesday. Let me see if I can explain this in a way that will make sense... So, where I live, across the street is a neighbor, Jesse, and he has been my neighbor for the last 27 years si

Oh man.

Today has been an amazing day. Although what happened was pretty great, it's not so much because of what happened as more of how my mood has been.   I wake up to go to work today, and my roommate finally moved in. He actually got here 5 minutes after I got up. It was good to see him again, and after I got out of the shower (I haven't shaved, so I have a little bit of stubble) his girlfriend said "that's who you remind me of--JOHNNY DEPP!" I have never gotten that before, but man did i

Taking Some Time For Myself

After a very stressfull 18 hours, I've decided to take a little time off of the internet and just chillax. I won't be writing and I won't be reading. I'll just be living my life. Going to work, spending time with my bf, friends and family and trying to remember what life was like before I got caught up in the grind of keeping up with stories and all the drama that comes with it. When I get back, I just want to write and send my chapters off to Joe. Nevermind me, I'm just venting. Anyway, I ju

Doctors suck and so do squirrels and other tomato thieving creatures

I'm going to whine now, so be forewarned.   My hand hurts. Well duh...I suppose it is supposed to hurt still. But it hurts when I do stupidly easy things like folding towels. It also hurts while typing and driving. The driving is a joke because really, Sam has to turn the key in the ignition and shift for me--but it still hurts to steer the damned thing.   So I asked the physical therapist this morning and he said I am doing things that are pulling or pushing... Well...in general mos

Alone

Alone   From childhood's hour I have not been As others were; I have not seen As others saw; I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I loved, I loved alone. Then- in my childhood, in the dawn Of a most stormy life- was drawn From every depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of t

Yipee!

I'm spending the night in Southeastern Minnesota, which is a lot like Iowa without all those Iowans. Tomorrow its on to Wisconsin for a delivery and a pick up and then on to Upstate New York for delivery on Saturday morning. I hate going to New York because New England is so close. I've heard horror stories about taking a big truck into New England and one of them was from a trucker who lives there.   If any of you have read my LiveJournal blog, you know the depression I suffer with is cyclica

Songs of my life

I just across this on Kevin(afriendlyface)'s blog, and thought it intriguing enough to try it out for myself. Especially since, towards the end, I had an idea.   IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? So, here's how it works:   1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc) 2. Put it on shuffle 3. Press play 4. For every question, type the song that's playing 5. When you go to a new question, press the next button 6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're

"The same person I'm in love with"

WOW   That about sums up my thoughts about the conversation I had this afternoon with a friend of mine.   So basically I stayed very close with two of my friends from high school. One of course is my girl Claire, the other we'll call Sandra (not her real name but I feel as though I ought to carefully protect her anonymity). Anyway, Sandra and I went to the same university and kept in touch throughout college (and since we've graduated). Now obviously I was already out to Claire (she was t

Who are we? Who am I?

Who are we? I mean, who ARE we, really? Are we our feelings, our thoughts? Are we our bodies? Which defines us?   The answer would seem to be that we are a combination of those things. But what about those people who are mismatched? What about people who look out of eyes that don

Nature's Fury

In a normal year, Arizona's Monsoon season (summer thunderstorms) starts in mid-july, and ramps up by mid August, often resulting, here in the high mountians of northern Arizona, thunder daily, but rain once ever few days at most.   This year, a years-long drought has broken, and we've had rain daily, over a foot between mid_July and yesterday.   Yesterday, I had major damage to my house (wish I was joking on that). A thunderstorm hit, and in the mountains they can be very violent. This on

I wanna blog this converstaion I'm having right now...

... with Steve. For some reason, he and I always seem to find a way to discuss the fundamentals about things, and I find it rewarding and fascinating. Uplifting, and the moments of clarity that come from thinking things through, seeing all sides of it, are immensely valuable. I think I'll ask him when we're done if I can post it... FANTASTIC   Anyway, moving on for now...   I made a resume OMG! I'm only partailly sure why I even did that, but there are times when I think to myself, 'dammi

Damn Tape!

So I did really well on moving day. I didn't cry once all day, and we were just about finished. In fact I was literally trying to tape up the last box. Then it just sort of hit me that this was the last box, then the stupid tape got stuck to the roll, and it was the final straw, and I just started crying. All in all the day wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be though, and we made plans to see each other for Christmas and next summer.   I've also been spending time with other friends and I t

I fail at life

Why does MS Word 2007 have to be so complicated??? I'm trying to go back to my already completed stories and indent my paragraphs without actually having to manually click on each one and hit the space bar. I was always able to do it on Word Perfect, but for whatever reason, MS word won't let me. So anyway, I'm frustrated and need to vent a little. Oh yeah, after much thought, I've decided to start the third installment of the saga of Jarred, Phillip, Andrew, Kyle K, Kyle P, Renee and Jerem

I need a hit, baby give me it.

So they are officially GONE. They did end up waking me last night, but I didn't get up until like an hour later. Went into the kitchen, and he sent in one of the girls to try and butter me up. I was really nice to her, but I wasn't fooled. So he came to my room and we talked. I told him, they have to leave. He tried to switch it up on me, saying that he cleaned up after me a couple times too. Uh, no. I told him upfront that I cleaned up every single time. I have witnesses. lol. He s

Perfect

Have you ever listened to a song's lyric, and were able to relate to most of what the lyrics say?   I know most people base there music on themselves or something that has happened to them, so sure a lot of people would be able to relate right? I know on many occasions i've listened to a song and thought "Hey, thats just how i'm feeling."   But this one song really got to me. :wacko:       Hey dad look at me Think back and talk to me Did I grow up according to plan?
