Weird blog entry, I was just trying to figure something in my head and a sequence of equations came to my mind.
1 x 2 +3 3 x 2 - 1
Both would equal 5 right.
So I thought, pretty cool coincidence, why not test it out on other sequential numbers:
2 x 3 +4 4 x 3 -2
Equal 10
3 x 4 + 5 5 x 4 - 3
Equals 17
4 x 5 +6 6 x 5 - 4
Equals 26
5 x 6 + 7 7 x 6 -5
Equals 37
6 x 7 + 8 8 x 7 -6
Equals 50
....
It keeps working out
I know this is a math
This was going to be a review of James Franco's movie I am Michael, a biopic about Michael Glatze, the former gay youth advocate turned Ex-gay poster boy with a wife turned Fundamentalist anti-homosexual christian pastor, and now deeply lost as both his far right allies abandoned him and he abandoned his old LGBT friends.
I know I am gay, I tried dating girls when I was younger who were more masculine in reflection now (high school basketball forward), but not everyone is universally aligned
I was watching A Christmas Carol on my red Eye back from Vegas and the thought occurred to me. It wasn't so long ago, when employers would give their employees a turkey every Christmas in appreciation of their work, and to ward off the Ghost of Christmas Future The IRS even has a special provision in Publication 525 that indicates gifts of Turkeys, Hams, or other food during Christmas or Holidays would not b considered taxable income. Whatever happened to that nice Holiday practice? Has Ame
I was chatting with some friends on facebook and got an interesting idea if things do go sour for LGBT in affected areas.
What if a new underground railroad was set up to help runaway gay kids find safe havens in states like Massachusetts or California.
My first thought on this, it is basically illegal to help a child under the age of consent to run away from his/her family, so I pointed out that if this were our solution, we'd likely face some jail time just like traditional abolitionis
Well, it might be early, but with the tallies as it looks, Donald Trump is going to be our 45th President.
I don't like either candidate, but I do hope the Mexican deportation was hyperbole along with the trade bans and departing NAFTA/NATO/UN were also just campaigning. I am a Republican, but I don't support those positions.
Now let me introduce the Prologue of Book 2: 0's and 1's

Well before I return to the Pit tomorrow, I should tell you my vote:
So, here's it is, I voted for ...Gary Johnson. I can't vote for Clinton and I cannot support Donald Trump even in spirit.
Why did I not choose either candidate and instead chose a guy who has been ridiculed for his lack of foreign policy experience?
Reality is, I believe in something beyond just candidates and the current election. Despite all his flaws, Gary Johnson is one thing that neither Clinton or Trump is: He

Part IV: The Horror in Truth
As a shout out, I want to thanks Kitt again for the marvelous job of editing she did for this story.
Now onto the main event, can you imagine seeing the end of the world in a perfect 3D image from something like an Oculus Rift or a HTC Vive system. Photo-realistic images have been around for a decade and 3D video for at lest 2-3 years in mass consumption, so a 3D video from a drone is not that far off in our future and I recall

Part 3: The Arcology (aka. Why did all this happen?)
An Arcology is an interesting concept, some of you, like me played SimCity 2000, remember this as the ultimate achievement in the game if you can build a city to the level of creating Arcologies that can house thousands of people with all the necessary elements of industrial, commercial, and even agricultural use combined together in one structure.
I am also introducing the Triumvirs: Edwin, an elderly ga

Part I: Rites of the Fall
I think some people remember wild times, if they went to college. Parties, alcohol, drugs, sex, and just the freedom of the moment without a care in the world.
In this opening segment, which will tie back to the ending sequences in terms of logical progression, it is like the farewell hurrah for all the promises and joys before you enter a "
This is not a political issue, it's not even an American issue, but it is something I do feel strongly about. When it comes to gay rights, I am far more progressive than anyone can guess.
At it's heart is the belief that a pardon for an unjust crime is the best way to move people and society forward from its dark ages of bigotry. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-gays-pardon-idUSKCN12K1BB I don't like the idea of a Pardon for a crime that was unjustly created against same sex relat
Just finished it today: 43 pages, 18K words, broken into 4 parts, and have several picture illustrations that I will upload into gallery as I am posting the mini-series.
Here's some facts:
1. It is a Sci-Fi, Horror, and at times critiques of modern human civilization, politics, and value systems. I also touched on areas of LGBT rights that might be a bit controversial. 2. I started writing this at the start of October in anticipation of Halloween, it was originally meant to be a 4K word
I know, why am I giving up the ability to comment on an exciting period of time filled with every sort of trick and gaffe imaginable, quite frankly, I just feel like people perceives I am only in it for politics and debates. I am opinionated, I am strong willed, and I am aggressive in what I see as necessary and should be done, but that's who I am.
I've grown up on GA, through multiple boyfriends and multiple attempts to write new stories. I've seen many peers rise and disappear into the set
A key piece on the nature of Pup Play: -Pup play is not S&M/Sadism&Masochism, yes there is leather, leashes, and collars, but a pup is not a punishment object, he's your animistic partner and when you guys play, it's for fun not pain.
As gay writers, we do write scenes of exotic sex, but I also feel obligated to give people some pointers and good advice if they want to re-enact a werewolf story of an Alpha and his Beta lover. I haven't written a werewolf story in quite a while, but t
Yes, I am working on its recovery right now. I should have at least 3 chapters ready by next week.
Also, I am really glad that my story is getting some word of mouth treatment, thanks Dark and everyone for sharing this among other readers. I've started getting fan mail again from first time readers
I know everyone wants to hear a few spoilers about Book 2, so I'll give you some character directions:
1. Hunter- Following Book 1, he's lost a lot of direction in his fight for justice.
Weird combo right, but the old ladies did save a group of Australian penguins.
How did they do it?
Why they knit little sweaters for those penguins after an oil spill

I tried dating someone older and for a while it was fun. He was mature, thoughtful, understanding, considerate, and let's face it sex was amazing. He had the experience and I had the energy to go extra innings, let's leave it at that.
So what ruined it:
A simple call to his cell raised a few questions and things just happened from there, you can fill in the blanks. I didn't know he was married to a woman, who he later professed he had no love for, but they had kids. That was a double wha
I saw this around 18-19, when I was surfing the web for gay related items. It was part of a series of Shorts called Boys' Brief 2 from 2002
It still haunts me today at how dark and how tragic this kid's life will eventually become, continuously searching for "him", his abuser through pain and sufferring in a perverse need to be with the same abuser's grasp:

GA authors write a lot about LGBT community and we do write about sex, in different degrees, but we have no area in the forum for sex questions or advice due to the possibility of younger kids getting into it and violating site rules.
This is probably an innocent health question as it relates to me and my current sexual partner, but I do feel like I have to be discreet about it and will not post it to the general forum, and I will use spoiler tags to add a level of discretion.

Brexit is sort of weird and makes you think, but Yellowcard's break up is fucking sad and depressing. I grew up on their tunes from their fun tourhful SoCal melodies in "Ocean Avenue" to their mature tunes in "When you're through with Thinking, Say Yes" and "Southern Air". I am a huge fan of theirs and the fun incorporation of Violins in Rock music.
They're leaving a great legacy of awesome music though:
This song got me into listening to them:
This song makes a lot of sense a
Before I start, I just want people to know, Equality Florida has raised 4.6 Million for the victims of the Orlando attack:
This is an awesome cause and I'm probably going to donate again, when I get my next pay check. https://www.gofundme.com/PulseVictimsFund
Now to the main subject:
I am postponing the publication of Book 2 until October, both because the subject matter is too close to reality and I do not wish to inflame passions with my writing. For my readers, you know fro
If you are able and capable of making small donations online to the victims of the Orlando LGBT Nightclub attack, which killed 49 people and left 53 people injured, here's a few legitimate donation sites:

I am taking my love life nice and slow. I have a lot of insecurities, a lot of unknowns, and a lot of pent up sexual frustrations. That's my life right now.
My 1st question is, do I love him?
I don't know, he's charming as hell though
2nd, Can I settle don with him?
Maybe, but I want to learn more about him

Life, Death, and rituals, there's a lot of things Chinese people do that is strange and alien to many people. In some ways, it is anachronistic and in other ways, it is a sign of cultural longevity.
For 5,000 years, funerals have happened in similar manners for millions of households, if not billions. There's kneeling, ceremonial bowing, a bit of supplicated crawling to the casket, constant chanting and wailing, and lots of origami paper folding plus burning of the folded paper and ghost mon
0's and 1's is coming back soon!
I have been busy for the last two months between a trip to Vegas and some other stuff at work, but I am back into writing Book 2. Currently I have 2 opening pieces edited and ready, but I want to give myself at least 8 chapters lead time just like Book 1, which worked well.
It will be a scheduled release of 1 chapter a week, with an occasional special like Memorial day or July 4th Independence Day.
As for other projects, I had an interesting thought t
I am post timing this blog entry to coincide with Secret Admirer contest, I don't expect to win, but if I did I am really grateful to all the readers that chose my story, despite how different it is from my writing style.
So the big question for all the readers, why did I write a story like this? It's so tragic, so detailed and impact with a subject matter that is definitely Left of even Bernie Sanders , and holds a lot of questions about the nature of national principles versus geopolitica
