I just came back from across the Atlantic and I have a lot of new takes on ideas and thoughts.
European culture is something American too often ignore, sadly, but it is very integrated to everything that the US in terms of our customs and ideas are about. American so often neglect or reject anything to do with Europeans, but in reality, the US holds a lot of the traditions with Europeans in different areas. There's also a European issue about their own infrastructure problems that I have wit
I know I can't finish this story before I will have to leave on vacation.
Maybe, I should not have started playing with my tablet, but I just can't resist a new piece of tech, especially one with such sleek and elegant form.
I will write again after I come back, who knows, maybe I will write a travel blog.
See you all next year
My creative juices are flowing along with coffee and urine, but it feels good.
I will attempt to write a story before I head off on vacation for fun. It will not be edited perfectly as I am not sure whether my favorite editor is around (Yes, Dannsar it's you, I did really like the way you edited my anthology story).
It will be a retro-fan fiction story that I got in my head recently after watching an old show.
Did anyone take a notice at what stories seem to have the most length?
I know, I know, it doesn't matter how big the word count is, but how you write your story
I just noticed this by accident, but Bill W., Altimex, and W.L (me), were the three longest in word count.
Also, all three of us wrote science fiction stories, using different ideas and different points of view.
Just an observation

Well, it is now up for your reading pleasure.
Consider this my return to active writing again and science fiction. I have been holding back my ideas for a very long time and now I think I can explore them.
It is a social commentary brand of science fiction, so I hope it does not detract from readers. For all those who have waited, almost 2 years, for a new chapter in W.L's science fiction universe or meta-verse, this will b
I probably am one of the strongest adherent to conservatism and have fought many on principle. Yet, I feel like maybe we should take a breath to relax. I know how hard our lives can be, how difficult circumstances have made us colder and more alien, but in the end, we're not here to write and focus our ideals into something greater than ourselves. We are here to write out our creations, whether they are based on our thoughts, motives, political ideologies, symbolic histories, or whatever your he
Just wanted to share a classic poem for my thoughts on the day, it might sound religious, but at its heart there is a deep humanism:
THE SECOND COMING
By William Butler Yeats Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of pas
I just had a very odd story in my head, but it seems to work.
I don't know what prompted the story, maybe, it's me trying to recapture my youth, my love of old Nick shows, or maybe my desire to give stories a finality.
I won't say what my story is until I actually write it and edit it, but by just my simple description, you guys can guess at the possibilities. I don't know if my story will be interesting or maybe it will be widely chided as too retro to be readable by most audiences. As
I vented a bit in my poetry today, I haven't done something like this since I was a kid.

I had a very long day at work with really great ups and really bad downs. I just don't know anymore what I am and what I want to be anymore. I am feeling confused over my life; I don't know where I fit anymore.
Being gay isn't the only question people get about their lives, I also have a lot doubts about what I am doing and my work. I try to be a decent huma
Well, I just updated my profile image to give readers a few puppy dog eyes
I thought the image was cute and since I have been using Garfield for so long, I might as well move up on the old animal chain before I actually reach man.
Glad to see it now up and open for everyone:

Enjoy the reading, I also added a writer's commentary in my blog for the story, so you guys know why and what thoughts came up during my writing.
For horror readers, I hope that I at least gave you a taste of my kind of horror; psychological and knowledge based story.
For people looking for a tantalizingly sexual tale, it's my first foray into blending psych-horror, tell me what you guy
I mean I look at something and I remember a connection between point A to point B, but people seem to not notice it until you start pointing it out to them.
One thing I noticed about people who have a really bad cognitive reasoning, they also have a very deep dislike of history. History to them is just words and stuff that happens without reference or meaning. I wonder if there's a link?
On some other notes, I am branching out with my own private tax and business consulting business in a
Well, I promised to challenge myself to write a different kind of story and I did just that.
My story is called Reflection and it is split into three parts: Part I Symmetry, Part II Mirage, and Part III Revealing.
In a few words, this story has sex, power, depression, kindness, and a life fulfilling concept embedded within it.
The next couple paragraphs might be a little too literary, but I want people to understand why the story is like that:
If you read my story from beginning
My heart is no longer in my stories; I don't know why.
It's like I know the words to write, but not the words to speak to my soul. When I use to write, I felt for my characters and wanted to give them a world to live in, but now, I don't feel anything.
My heart is growing dimmer and I don't know why, except perhaps my life has become so cold from work.
I sit here typing out this blog and wondering what is our purpose. Is there a purpose to everything we do, somethings, or nothing?
Some days, we hope for rewards based on our actions; either good or bad actions, but nevertheless some think the purpose is based on rewards.
However, should we base our lives on rewards?
What ever happened to doing what is just and right for the reason that it is for the greater good. Rewards should not drive human actions, nor is it purpose.
Then
For those of you, who know what I do and those who don't, I had a very weird day today.
I am a head of accounting for a health management firm that manages community health centers, in European equivalence, these health centers are similar to a local clinic combined with an apothecary and outpatient services from a traditional hospital.
I work in tough neighborhoods in Boston, making sure the accounting works correctly and people are not trying to rob the organizations blind. Today, whi
I was pondering this thought as I keep hearing the radio responders, chiming over and over again about how the US is a Democracy and their voices matter in the decisions.
This lie to people might maintain order and this dream of democracy has been with many for a long time, but the US has never been a democracy, nor has any of her current allies. Sure, every nation has varying forms of representative government, but no nation has had a direct universal democracy as the primary form of govern
I know, it's odd that I watch Woody Allen movies, but even though, I am conservative and this film is very overtly anti-conservative and extremely liberal.
However, I still enjoy it despite the fact for several good reasons:
1. Few movies today have any hint of wit or satire on a level like Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. In essence, he is satirizing what we have come to see in Time Travel genre stories, a desire to live better through the past, while ignoring our future and present. A
Well, I am still single and searching.
The modern gay dating world is large and wide, but I feel like there really is a lack of communication and more hip grinding than actual understanding.
I also have come to the conclusion that I really need some one to balance me off; it's sad to say it, but I really need a more liberal voice in my life
My past few boyfriends have been very similar to me and we usually hit it off, but our relationship sags as time goes on. I need someone to comb
Just a quick thought:
When looking around the city, I am usuallly confronted by a dozen people asking for money with a strong scent of alcohol in their musk or incoherent descriptions of their plight. There is even a infamous women on the mass transit system, who claims a new story every other week like I've lost my wallet, my friends left me here and I can't get home, and others. The first time I felt bad for her and actually did give money. At that point in 2009, I just graduated from coll
In a little part of Western New York State, which has traditionally been a Republican Stronghold, an interesting event is unfolding.
The polls show a three party race of even odds between Democrat, Republican, and Tea Party candidates. When people tell me that the Tea Party are no threats to conservative, I can now point to New York's 26th Congressional seat election as my call to Arms.
Oh yes, Jack Davis is not a conservative based on his record, but the Tea Party Coalition group of We
As I said in my prior blog, I was going to write a more erotic story, but I wanted to go against the traditional nifty erotic story format of quick sex.
I don't know how many of you guys actually still read Nifty, when I was a teen in the early 2000's, Nifty was the place to read both the sexiest and fun gay stories on the web. I recently re-read some of my old favorites and I looked into the older writers work. The erotic element in their stories were more pronounced and most of them had so
I got some free time and thought about it long and hard, well hard as the idea for this new short story got my loins stirring a bit
I know I have never wrote anything sexual or erotic even in my stories with some minor sex, sex scenes usually are either fast and hard or deeply introspective for plot purposes like a passing motion or thought.
Thinking it over and reading from other gay writers, who I admire. I am neglecting the sex in gay storytelling, so I want to try it out for my own
What has happened in the last few days will shape the course of World history for years to come. The last few months have ushered in the so-called "Arab Spring" on one side is inspiring a new democratic movement in the middle east and the death of Osama Bin Laden is a significant blow to terrorist organizations in that region in both symbolic and material sense.
There are many things now that are open for the people of the middle east to choose. Yet, it is probably best that the choice be fo
I noticed this in my thread after we started talking about health care in the Soapbox and I am thankful that you guys support my points, but please don't neg people for their opinions even if they are not well informed on what I am talking about.
Quite recently due to my contention against Tea Party movement, I've been removed from the Gay Right forum, because honestly, I don't see their movement as conservative nor Republican as my beliefs and others run counter to their ideas. I challenge
