Busted chapter 56

[Ah... I got nothin']   "Yes," Joe said. It was a reflex, the word coming out before his brain was at all engaged.   "Don't I get a say in that?" Chris said from behind them. His voice was almost a growl. This was how things had gone with Megan. She'd always done what she'd wanted, and made sure he'd done it too. Whether he wanted to or not. He'd hated that, how insignificant it made him feel. How insignificant he'd let it make him feel.   Joe turned and gave Chris a smoldering look. "Alwa

Liers

What to do about liers and people who talk about you behind your back?   Last week, I started a project at work that hasn't been done for awhile. I started taking the wheels off of the carts used and removing all the crap that has accumulated over the past couple of years. I was only able to do it a couple of days due to meeting a good part of the week.   I started out by getting several different size wrenches from the tool cart, different style carts have different size nuts and bolts.

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Out of the depths of despair

It had to happen eventually. I simply had to wait for the right moment, the right set of circumstances.   Until early Friday morning (like about 00:30 in the morning), I hadn't written anything of significance for too long. More importantly, I hadn't gotten any appreciable distance into a story for the Spring Anthology. Then it all came whooshing out and a story, a workable story inline within my proposal, started to filter out of the dismal depths of a very serious bout of depression.   No,

Busted chapter 55

[From the mouths of babes, and suchlike things]   Joe came downstairs, his hair still wet from the shower. Chris had gone first, as he needed to get ready for work. The smell of fresh-brewed coffee hit his nose as he walked into the kitchen.   Toby was sitting at the table. Chris was at the stove. Joe could hear sizzling.   "Breakfast?" Chris asked. There were two coffee cups on the counter next to him.   "Thanks. What is it?"   "Scrambled eggs and toast. You like them soft, right?"

Life's a Conflagration

Life after Death

I'm not entirely sure why, but until now, I had decided to drop off the radar (in terms of this site). I was going through a really bad time in my life, which I hope I never have to repeat. I think I've learned from my mistakes--and yata yata.   It always perplexed me that I never really got that close with anyone through this site. I'm sure it was due to preoccupation/lack of effort on my part, but yeah...I guess I'm going to try again.   Hope everyone (who I knew briefly) is doing well,

Busted chapter 54

[Less angst here than I expected. Chris is taking this all remarkably well]   Joe woke with the sun in his face and a warm body spooned up behind him. It was a nice way to wake up, and the erection pressed up behind him was nice too. They'd gone to sleep back to back, but at some point Chris had rolled over and wrapped himself around Joe. It was something he hoped he'd have a chance to get used to.   He shifted a little, so he could look at Chris. The motion made Chris stir, and his hand sli

Hockey games are NOT canceled because it snows!

Sam and I are going to Binghamton tomorrow to watch the Albany River Rats play the Binghamton Senators. Yes, that is a very exciting thing for us. For Sam, the most exciting thing is that they sell Dipping Dots at the arena there. Our arena doesn't. So he is psyched The boy will do just about anything for Dipping Dots. I find them a bit freakish. Ice cream that doesn't really melt on your tongue is just wrong.Though the root beer float ones are pretty good. But I actually am psyched abou

Busted chapter 53

[And we get all cuddly. Awww... ]   Joe yawned. He was surprisingly comfortable, sitting on the floor, his head on Chris' lap, with Chris stroking his hair. He probably could have stayed there all night. Chris needed to get up in the morning, though.   "Chris?"   "Mmm?" Chris had fallen into a daze. He was feeling secure in a way he hadn't really ever known. Everything just felt so right, in ways he'd only ever felt with Toby. This was different, but just as good. Better, really. He felt

A Moment of reflection

Some people might not understand what this blog entry's about, and if you don't, count yourself as one of the lucky ones. For those of you who know what's up, well, you know......   The last few days have been tough for me. I took a bold step and walked in to the unknown, a place where I felt unwelcome and unwanted, mainly because I gave myself a sentence of purgatory in a moment of rage and isolation. People who know me on this site know that I'm a stubborn asshole. I have my ideas and no on

Chronicles of My Life

I have somewhere to live!

So I suppose it seems like I hardly ever think about this blog anymore considering that I only update it once or twice a month . Actually, I always want to update it and have like 10 different entries I want to write, but I never seem to find the time :wacko:   Anyway, I thought about all the potential things I wanted to write about and decided that in terms of simple information this was the way to go (although you should probably skip it if you don't feel like reading a fairly shallow,

Busted chapter 52

Chris just watched Joe dumbly as he walked past him and into the living room. It was like he owned the place. That felt natural. It also annoyed him a little.   "What are you doing?" he asked.   "Sitting," Joe called back.   Chris moved to follow and found Joe in the recliner.   "What are you doing there?" Chris asked.   "If I sit on the couch, I'm going to be next to you," Joe answered. "If I'm next to you I'm going to touch you, which means I'm going to be kissing you, and from there

It's been awhile...

It's been an interesting seven days and far too long since I have made a blog entry. For any of you out there that actually read. I've gone and finished my spring anthology entry and sent it out to be polished. The beta feedback I have received has been nice and I can't wait to see what everyone else thinks of it. I'm also getting ready to start wrapping up Living in Surreality. There should only be about four more chapters left to go even though I have tried to push it to at least 25, but why d

I can feel the love

I got a really encouraging email from someone who must be reading Bodega Bay on Nifty. Here's an excerpt:     My guess is that the guy went to the No Sex section of Nifty by mistake, got mad because there was No Sex (go figure) and lost his temper. Anyway, if you're a reader of mine who's(not whose..see Razor, I do know the difference) easily frustrated by a lack of sex, don't read any of my short stories, and don't read Time In A Bottle.....the ironic part is, if he would have just been pat

Busted chapter 51

[The beginning of this harkens back to the missing chapter 45. Chris ran into his ex, and the guy she'd cuckolded him with, and caught enough of the last encounter between Joe and Alex to realize they'd split, just not the exact circumstances. Short section too -- seemed like a good place to stop, and I've not had a lot of time to write]   It was late, and Chris was lying on his couch wondering how things had managed to get where they were. He wasn't a bad guy. He was pretty sure of that. He w

Little Buddha's Thatched Hut

Kevin Zegers is H-O-T!

So, I've decided that the hottest guy alive is Kevin Zegers (he was the kid in those cheesy "Air Bud" movies - but now he's all grown up, and boy has he grown up!) His most recent movie, "It's a Boy Girl Thing," was actually produced by Elton John and his partner, David Furnish. If anyone doesn't know who he is, go Google him ... trust me, he's F-I-N-E.   I was soooooooooooo disappointed last week when Sundance got booted from "American Idol." He was definitely my favorite of the guys, ever si

Monitoring the situation

First of all, I'd like to apologize to anyone I offended with my recent user name, MikeH*wk(*** it ****). I agree that it was in bad taste, and I hope it hasn't caused any troube for the Administrators of this site. That was the last thing I wanted to do....I admit that sometimes I can be a real jack ass, but I'm working on that   In the interest of striving to change my ways, I've made a few decisions....I think it's time for me to just sit back and monitor things around me for a while. So,

Romance

Are you in a long term relationship? Do you think your partner has become complacent?   The reason I ask is, Chris and I used to do loads of really romantic stuff all the time. Now it feels a little like we're an old married couple lol. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, hell no! I wouldnt change what we have for anything. Just maybe a few more romantic nights would be nice   I got to thinking about this after a dream I had today, We were on holiday at this beach. It was evening and we we

Busted chapter 50

[so much cliffhanger material, so few words to make it work. This is definitely going to need a good edit and rewrite. It's very rough, and didn't quite go where I had planned on it going (mostly, but not quite) but it's solid enough to work with. Later.]   The remainder of Monday had been miserable. Joe had tried drinking in his apartment, but that hadn't worked too well. He was feeling abandoned, and lonely, and drinking made that feel worse. It helped numb the pain some, but not enough.

The rose

It is strange how things trigger other things. I will admit to being somewhat gin soaked at the moment, so bear that in mind if you choose to read further. But someone mentioned to me earlier about my difficulty letting go. It was in relation to something I won't discuss here, but it must have stuck in my head--out of context. And then there was the chat room conversation. I have learned--or remembered, because I think I DID once know this--that a chat room is always more interesting when y

So, I'm sorry if I haven't been around much this week... we had family visiting... read... driving me absolutely crazy! But have no fear, the countdown has begun... less than seven hours until they are on a train headed back home! I don't mean to sound... well, crappy... but OMFG! It's just unreal... I mean, if I took my kids to visit somewhere for a week, I would be all over them to pick up their stuff, and not leave a mess everywhere, and be quieter, etc... but I swear to you... I have picke

Grad school... a far off dream

... that may forever remain so.   Its not that I couldn't do the coursework, I could. Its not that I can't complete all the prerequisites... I can. Its not that I lack the ambition to try courses actually requiring thought, or that I lack the writing ability to do a master's thesis. I excel at analysis and have no problem writing.   Its that I don't have the funds to sign the check to the school, nor is my credit history sufficient enough to merit borrowing against my soul. I would have to b
