Changes - As I Saw It. Summer Anthology

Well joining GA has opened my eyes to a lot of different things, and one of them is the Anthology idea. So summer 2012 was the first time I actually came across anything of the sort, and if it weren't for Bugeye pointing it out to me, it'd have slipped by unnoticed as I was caught up in reading some of the amazing stories on the site. But thankfully I was encouraged to give it a whirl and submit an entry. I actually got a good kick out of giving it a go. It was a lot of fun writing a

Technology is Amazing

I was finally due an upgrade for my phone which I've probably had too many years to truly consider myself to be trendy. To be honest I am no technophobe, I've just always figured that a phone is to make calls on and maybe send text messages. Ok maybe a lot to send text messages. Actually I am quite grateful for the 'unlimited' number of text messages that my traffic offers me, as there are times when i can get quite carried away with my textual conversations. However, I was really quiet

Reasons to be Greatful - Art

Art in its basic form should be viewed as a celebration of humanity. Be it paints applied to a canvass, or ink on a paper, music from an orchestra, or motion picture on a screen, it is the giving of pleasure from one to another. Art is something we turn to for enjoyment, pleasure and contentment. I don't think we stop enough to consider how much art impacts on our lives, how it creates in us a world of emotions and expressions, how it helps us to communicate and record our history. It impres

Reasons to be Greatful - Youth

When you are young, you can't wait to grow up. When you get older you suddenly wake up to realise that you can't slow life down fast enough, and dream of going back to the days when you were a wee nipper. I fondly sit and recall my youth. Those wild days of wreckless abandon when I didn't care about what the world thought, where it didn't matter to me if I was bunking off my lessons, or late to finish an assignment. The pressures of the world meant nothing, and the responsibility of being hu

Smiling at our Strange Sayings

I've lived in the UK for a number of years now, and one of the things that's amazed me about this tiny Island in the sea is the number of people and accents that are packed onto it. To name but a few you'd easily think of the likes of the Cockney's, Scousers, Geordies, Mancunians, the Cornish, the Welsh the Irish or the Scots. Yet even within the more commonly known regional accents, there are more local dialects or variances of these, and it can get really confusing to say the least.

The Sexuality Conundrum

I read a blog recently discussing a gay man's response to sex with a woman. I've read a story on GA about a man who finally finds the strength to accept he's gay after 20 odd years of marriage. I've been asked about being gay by youngsters I know. I've been chatting with a friend on GA about sexuality and what they think it means for them. If there is one thing I've realised in 38 years of my life it's that sexuality is no simple thing. Personally I'd consider myself gay. Ok so this is p

Factors of Attraction

So what is it about attraction? To be fair I think if we each made an effort to answer this question, it'd be pretty interesting to see the differences for each of us. Lets not just consider the basic principles of attraction ie. looks or personality, but actually drill down to think about the specifics of what it is that we consider to be the things that make us stop and take a closer look. I've often thought about this, as to be honest, if I go onto a website full of an array of men, a

Does It Ever Stop - Lorien Trust

I'm often amazed at how much I don't know. There is always something new and exciting to read, to learn, to experience. I've had a travel bug for a number of years now, and as a matter of principle do not like to do much in the way of planning or preparation. Spontaneity I believe is very much a spice of life, and a good dose of variety without planning or expectation is a healthy way to keep life interesting and fun. In this way, I have enjoyed some really amazing trips, mainly around t

Life's Moments

I've never been a massive fan of shopping, especially grocery shopping. Unlike my father who would spend hours reading labels and checking out the special deals, I like to get in and get out. I've never been one for waiting around. Mr Impatient maybe. Well in certain situations, alright I admit, Mr Impatient is a glove that fits rather well. I had reason to visit Tesco's this morning to get some batteries, and while I was wondering around I decided to get me some new rope. Ah huh, rope..

Reasons to be Greatful - Drama

As an avid fan of TV Police drama, I am blessed to live where possibly the very finest range and class of dramatical television drama is produced. Undoubtedly, with series like Taggart, Lewis, Vera, Dalziel & Pascoe, Juliet Bravo, Law & Order UK, Luther, Midsomer Murders, Mersey Beat, Murder City, Rebus, Spooks, Sherlock, Silent Witness, The Commander, Waking the Dead, Wire in the Blood, are just some of the many modern British Police Drama's we enjoy on our screen's at various times

Reasons to be Greatful - Summer

Thank God for Vitamin D. I love the hot summer days, when you can walk down the road and everyone is looking rosy cheeked and awfully sexy as they take off their shirts and walk bare chested towards you. It's an excuse to perv long and hard at the glorious examples of humanity around us. Ahem Sorry, just being honest. LOL. Don't tell me you don't window shop during the summer, when its all out there on display. Of course we do, it'd be almost wrong not too! But seriously tho

Big Boys Don't Cry

I guess I grew up in a time and place where the stereo typical trend was to bring up a tough, strong and independent lad, one that easily stood on his own two feet. I can neither say this is a right or a wrong method of bringing up a child, I am no expert on raising kids, but I can say that in my own circumstances it taught me to bottle a lot up, taught me to keep a lid on my emotions , how to hide my thoughts and feelings and I'm pretty sure now looking back that this is not a very healthy

Sometimes the Difficulties Make it Worth It

Sometimes I find myself angry at the world for making life so damn difficult. Then at other times I get irked at the fact that what should be the simplest of tasks is made into a mountain of confusion. But when I stop to ponder and give consideration of the ups and downs of life I am given reason to think that realistically, its these ups and downs that make life interesting. Without them we'd live an easy, boring existence. Think about it. You get a task to do. It is repetitive and simp

Teach 'em Young

I was lucky to at a very young age have been thrown into the wonderful world of Middle Earth as my eldest brother chose to read me first The Hobbit and then Lord of the Rings. Immersed into a world of fantasy like none other I was entranced by the words, inspired by the imagination and transfixed by the genius of Tolkien. For a seven year old lad hearing the words of these stories roll off my brothers tongue as he read to me each evening was my candy fix for the day. I remember rushing home

Reasons to be Greatful - Music

I was thinking to myself as I lay in bed this morning, listening to some music sent to me for consideration for our station, how lucky we really are to have music in our lives. As part of my therapy I've been tasked with focusing on the good things in our lives, the things we can and should be grateful for, and my choice for today is Music. I greatly admire and respect anyone that has musical ability, not only because I tend to scare people off when I try to string a few notes together,

Message For You on a Lazy Day - Feel Loved

How many times a day are you told that your special? You know something, its not something we share with people very much. We pass each other, often as silent ships sailing through the night, never stopping to say how much we care, not taking the time to make our feelings known. For most of us putting into words things that are difficult to utter is not easy. We are naturally shy creatures, wrapped up in learning to survive, understanding emotion, feelings, and striving to heal life's hu
