    Weekly Wrap Up (Nov. 17 - Nov. 23)

    By wildone

    Steve has climbed into his cave and don't wake him up until the end of April.  I think it it is @Slytherin's turn to stay awake this winter   That bear just happens to be the colour of outdoors.  We got dumped on the past week. No road lanes, no sidewalks, no nothing. All buried in snow. It is beautiful if you don't need to go out into it  Also, the temperature dropped into the minus celsius without windchill  Winter is here, I hereby declare. May you all share the wonder of it

So, This Happened

We're in a little bit of a tail spin over here.   In March of this year we were asked if we'd consider adopting our foster child as his mother wasn't doing what she needed to. We said yes and we've been laying the groundwork since then. So you understand, this mother has had 10 years with this child. She is a meth addict who will not cooperate with treatment to get sober. She repeatedly breaks rules, something she taught her son by example, by calling our home, showing up at his school repeate

The King Of Swords: Director's Cut

The King of Swords   '   "Where on earth did you find that?" Andy pulled a card out of the file. It was Tarot card with an Arabic looking man's face and name. The card was the King of Swords.   Gorman got a far away look in his eye. Andy knew that look. For a just moment he was somewhere else.   "It was in 2004 in the big sandbox. Do you remember Saddam's mutts on the playing cards?"   "I was in grade school but, yeah. I remember."   "Saddam was the ace of spades. Uday was the ace o

***out Now*** Love Is Love Poetry Anthology: In Aid Of Orlando's Pulse Victims And Survivors

Blurb   LOVE IS LOVE Poetry Anthology A collection of poems written by over fifty authors in aid of the victims and survivors of the Orlando Pulse Attack.

Is The C Word Still Offensive?

Okay, so I know on the main forum, we can't say cunt. I think we can on our blogs? Anyway, the other day, this dude called these women cunts on another board. They didn't even seem offended. The took the word, cunt, as a compliment. What the fuck? My uncle once tossed his son out of a god damn window for calling his mom that. Is this word even considered offensive anymore, or have the Aussies corrupted the rest of the English-speaking world. https://www.buzzfeed.com/bradesposito/outrageous-words

So, What Have I Learned About Relationships?

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

The Hello Project

I personally believe that the sickness in our society, the one which leads to the upwelling of depression, anxiety, violence, and bigotry, is rooted in the same cause for all symptoms. Terry Pratchett put it bluntly when he said, “Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things.”   Others have expressed the same sentiment in different ways. A famous saying, usually attributed to the current Dalai Lama, is “People were created to be loved, and things were created to be used. The reason

Most Memorable Lgbt Short

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:   http://www.veoh.com/watch/v20430786JdHB7hkx   The Director/Creator of the short is now a Director for Game of Thrones   Here's m

Question On Sexual Health: Do Not Look If You Are Under 18

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.   Here goes

Botanical Garden, Tenerife, Puerto De La Cruz

In 1788, Carlos III of Spain decided that he wanted some of the exotic plants, flowers and trees from his territories in South and Central America brought over to adorn his palace in Madrid. Trouble was the flora needed a stop-off point to become acclimatized to their new environment. The Canary Islands, with their sub-tropical climate, seemed the ideal choice, so Carlos drew up a Royal Decree on August 17th of that year declaring the establishment of an "acclimatization garden" in Puerto de La

Trying To Hang On By My Fingernails

For the past week I’ve been wavering over putting GA on the backburner for the foreseeable future. My mental state is in a total disarray since Rambo bit me and my son had to put him down. Plus, my son has his own mental issues to consider. In effect, we’re both a couple of crazies trying to make do with life.   But, I have a series of stories that may save me. One deals with a boy who was sold by his parents into sexual slavery when he was six. Dabeagle helped me a lot with New York State’s p

49 Celebrities Honor The 49 Pulse Victims

This video technically has a political agenda at the end, though it is not mentioned throughout. As such, I felt it improper to place it in the standard forums. I also didn't want to put it in The Pit, because I believe it should be a bit more visible. It's very powerful, and I hope you'll give it a view.

All This Bandwidth And I Can't Communicate

You're pissed at him.   He's not talking to you.   Maybe... just maybe... he is like me. He just doesn't know what to say.   He knows the words. He needs to say them but, nobody wants to hear them.   I'm closing in on a degree in telecommunications. I know how to make things talk to each other. From two cans and a tight string to super-bandwidth fiber channels. I can move data like a boss. I can connect people across continents. I can upgrade cell towers by replacing a bunch of boards a

Yellowcard Breakup

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

No One Is Alone

No One Is Alone From the musical “Into The Woods” written by Stephen Sondheim Mother cannot guide you Now you're on your own Only me beside you Still, you're not alone No one is alone Truly No one is alone I wish... I know Mother isn't here now Wrong things, right things Who knows what she'd say? Who can say what's true? Nothing's quite so clear now Do things, fight things Feel you've lost your way?

The Year Of Newness

2015 kicked my ass, but I've now come to realize I'm better for it. I lost my job, had very little money, and I could see my relationship of 6 years crumbling. So I did what just about every gay man in his 20s does to cope, and turned to partying and Grindr to help me get away from it all. Predictably, it all ended in disaster that even a blind man could have seen coming. I knew it was coming too, but didn't want to face it. To make a long story short, by Christmas I was single for the first tim

Ever Been A Victim Of Violence?

If you have, you know how much it sucks. You know that your survival isn't guaranteed when you are helpless in the hands of those that have bad intentions.   It's happened to me twice as an adult. I pretty much lived with it as a teen.   Once was a rather serious beating I took as an 18 year old freshman. There was more too it than that but it was bad enough. The second a few years later. I don't remember that one. I was beaten with a blackjack and suffered a severe concussion. Probably left

When Your Other Favorite Forum Becomes A Nightmare

Over the years, I've loved two forums, this one of course and another. The other forum, as of late, has gone to shit. A certain group of assholes started harassing me almost constantly. The staff was almost certainly aware of it and did nothing. They resorted to things like neg repping random posts, comparing me to a member who is a total nutjob who actually stalked another member of Facebook, and just whatever else they could think of to piss me off. Needless to say, I'm done with that site. Bu

Real Statistics - The Truth About Guns And Crime In The Us

As a math geek I can really geek out on statistics.   It is said that statistics can be made to say anything and that is true if you play games with the numbers. I don't.   Those numbers actually say things that don't jive with the political narrative.   Those are the numbers we really need to pay attention to.           Per Capita Gun Ownership: 112 guns per 100 people   The US is #1 worldwide in gun ownership with more guns than people.1       Now- let's look at the US Homici

New Things Are Coming

I am the type of person who likes documenting my life sometimes, so here is a blog post.   I realized that it has been over a year since I posted a story. But this year, two things happened that I am hopeful will get some new work up.   Firstly, I realized that Adderall was completely fucking up my life. I did really well at work (I had the highest productivity back in 2014 and was second highest last year) but outside of work, I was completely miserable. I couldn't sleep well, I could
