First Father's Day Without Dad

I lost my father last September. This is my first father's day without him and its a very weird feeling.   Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, you spot the shark-fin of unresolved feelings.   Toward the end of his life my father was profoundly disabled. He was partially paralyzed on his left side and could only walk short distances. It was difficult to see age and failing health strike a man who had always been so physical.   His favorite Father's Day meal was at O

Going on an Adventure Tomorrow

I'm going to the coast tomorrow to do some research.   The little town of Kreole, MS is just west of the Alabama line. It sits along Highway 90 and is close to hundreds of square miles of salt marshes, bayous and wetlands.   Kreole plays a key part in one of my upcoming books- call it on the scene research. I'll be taking photographs, talking to locals, walking around and will be taking roads off into the bayous and wetlands.   If you want to see where I'm going search for Kreole, Mississ

My SyFried Network Rant

God knows I love Science Fiction. I really do. I read the masters like Asimov, Clark, Gerrold, Heinlein and Herbert. I've got all the Star Wars, Star Trek movies and Babylon 5, Battlestar episodes on DVD. I've even tried writing some Science Fiction, not that I'm GREAT at it.   I have seen science fiction as a force for good. It gets kids and adults excited about science and willing to learn. Millions of people pursued science and technology after being inspired by a short lived science fictio

A simple plan

It was a simple plan.   Simple. Just like my cousin Phil.   Unlike my cousin Phil, it just might work.

Sneak Peek- the Zombie War comes to Mississippi

< listen while reading We heard the rumors and saw the weird stories on the Internet. To be perfectly honest we thought that it was the same sort of run of the mill insanity that had some people believing in aliens or outlandish conspiracy theories. We would have been caught completely by surprise just like everyone else if we had not had a break. The summer before the Great Panic, none of us had even heard of a zombie outside of a horror movie until one literally drove into town. A pair o

Another good reason to keep a cat

Cats are immune to the virus that cause zombies.   They can sense a zombie from a mile away and will become agitated. Since the Rising, cats have become the must have pet. No telling how many survivors owe their lives to ferocious feline soldiers named Fluffy or Mr. Biscuits.   In fact, cats really hate zombies. It must be something about the way they smell.   Many cats will attack zombies and attempt to claw their eyes out.   One of the funniest damn things that you will ever see is a z

invisible worlds

There is an invisible world that surrounds us all. Actually there are several of them. People walk around them and through them all the time never notice. These worlds are only known to a few and are hidden in plain sight. They are everywhere but you will only see them if you know what you are looking for or if those worlds collide.   _________________________________________   You know I tease story ideas in my blog. Anyone intrigued?

Food porn, music and disaster

Food Porn     I tried the new Kentucky Fried Chicken Double-down sandwich.   It's frikin' awesome. Where else can you find all the awesomeness of fried chicken, cheese and bacon in one mouthful?   I had one and... no chest pains!     Cool Old Videos   My facebook friends know that I post a cool old video from youtube every day with a special on Saturday night and a theme for the week. This week theme is the blues influence in early rock.   Because Mondays suck and I want it to s

the Second Time Around

the Second Time Around     1979   I first met Randy when we were sixteen. I met him at Frank's house- a guy from my football team that I screwed around with from time to time. He enticed me to come over by telling me about a kid from his neighborhood that wanted to join in.   Randy was a shy kid. He wasn't big or athletic or a jock. He was cute and a lot more feminine than most of the guys I previously messed around with. What caught my attention was his bright, intelligent blue eyes.

Not doing so hot

I took an insanity day and went fishing. I didn't tell people and some folks panicked.   No- I am not doing so well. No- I'd rather not talk about it.   Yes- I have a boyfriend named Randy who was a little irked at me for vanishing. We haven't been together long enough for him to know that I occasionally have to get away from people or go off on somebody.   When I get this way getting out in the country is the best thing for me.   I'm going to be gone a while. I've got some stuff to fig

Human Rights Campaign

I have issues with many organizations that champion gay rights.   Some are all about gay marriage and I don't give a damn about that. I'm ugly, old, ain't going to happen for me. f**k it. Gay marriage is never going to happen anyway so we might as well pick battles we CAN WIN. Battles that will make a substantive difference in the quality of our lives.   The kind of gay rights focus that I want to see is more practical. I want to see the sort of thing pushed that a) has a snowballs chance

Disposable

I decided a long time ago that I was no damned good. I got all sorts of messages growing up that told me so. First and foremost was the way that I was treated by people that I thought were my friends.   Most of you know I never chose to be out. It's something that most people wait until they are ready for. I didn't have that choice. Someone else made it for me at the age of 13 deep in the heart of the bible belt in the mid seventies. What followed I wouldn't wish on anyone.   The thing that

Seven Ex-boyfriends that you don't Want

The Drunk     Fun and charming, the drunk loses some of his appeal when you sober up. After he's drank all your booze and pissed on your bed, the puke in your closet is the last straw.   The problem with drunks is that they forget that you threw them out. You have to break up with them dozens of times for it to take. Even then, they show up drunk and horny at 2am or make those wonderful calls in the middle of the night.   The only sure way to get rid of them: tell them about how well yo

Back to Billy Joel

Thanks to the wonders of YouTube, I can explore some tunes I haven't listened to in decades.   Oh... you don't like Billy Joel. Yeah sure, I doubt you've heard much of it.   Try it. You'll like it.

In Your Facebook!

I'm going to invent anti-social networking.   Instead of friending people, you flip them off.   Instead of "poking" people, you key their car or egg their house.   You don't have a list of friends. You have a list of punk-bitches that you can trade for cigarettes, tats or sex.   You don't join groups. If a group interests you, you have to call one of them out and beat his ass. Then you have to pass their initiation. If you survive, you have to wear their colors and tats.   Then you get

One of the best songs ever

All Along the Watchtower lyrics by Bob Dylan   There must be some way out of here Said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion here I can't get no relief Businessmen they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None of them know along the line What any of this is worth   No reason to get excited The thief, he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who think that life is but a joke But you and I, we've been through that And that is not our fate So let us not talk falsely

New Avatar

I don't change avatars very often. In fact I've only had two since I arrived in 2003.   I want to make sure that I've got just the right one.   Here is a history of my avatars:       The original Beast avatar, cirica 2003.     The new improved X-Men 3 Beast from ~2006     The new annoying drunk avatar...     ...from the classic Lolcat cartoon.   Which just goes to show you that some people can be an annoying drunk stone cold sober.

*Sneak Peek* Twilight Chapter 25- Peace

When the President approached the dais, he looked tired and haggard. He seemed a step slower than he usually appeared but confident and resolute despite the black circles around his eyes. It took McMahan forty-five minutes to tell the entire story. At each critical point he provided the evidence to validate its veracity.   In conclusion, McMahan said,

How I feel all the time

I'm tired. Being the local freak-tard is exhausting. I have reached the point to where I despise them as much for their pity and charity as their ignorance and superstition. Humans really are despicable and disgusting animals. It is better to be a beast.
