    Weekly Wrap Up (Jul. 12 - Jul. 18)

    By wildone

    We had an interesting discussion last week with the Weekly Wrap Up. I see the weather has broke in some places and yet others is getting worse 😮  Up here in Canada, it is so hot and dry we are burning up. Over 1000 wildfires going on right now   I wouldn't go camping now unless it was on a river or lake shore.  So back to one of the parts of the camping theme, I mentioned about swimming. So if you never went camping, or you like 5 star service in a hotel or you camped on a lake or you

Brought To You By A Prompt

Prompt #526 may become a one-shot from me soon, but for now it serves as a perfect way to start my stream of consciousness today.   “Damn, where the hell am I supposed to go now?”   I have no idea where I'm supposed to go. None at all. I still haven't found a full-time job. I'm lost and beginning to lose hope for my career prospects. Which I suppose makes me like most millennials. I've definitely given up hope for finding a teaching position where I live right now. Biggest city in the provin

The Bard's Pursuit (2) - An L P W Ballad

This is the second (and concluding) part to my ballad which I wrote to cheer a friend up. If you haven't read part 1, you can find it here: http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/blog/664/entry-16410-the-bards-pursuit-1-an-l-p-w-ballad/ As a reminder, it's loosely based on elements of Last Post Wins, a popular game here on GA. I had enormous fun writing this and I hope you enjoy it.           The bard's pursuit (Part 2)   The bard he came straight to the Queen And found her quite alone. Her

The Bard's Pursuit (1) - An L P W Ballad

A friend has had a trying August (his words) - so, to cheer him up, I started writing this ballad. It is loosely based on elements of Last Post Wins, a popular game on GA. It is a fun piece with the consistency of a meringue and the emotional depth of a puddle             The bard's pursuit (Part 1)   A grasping bard did gold desire, He plotted all the while. He drained his cup all through the night And thought with all his guile.   One cool, bright morn he hurried forth And thou

Small Rant

Well I never thought I'd be here, with a blog, but I found out today that I'm very tired. So I figured a small rant was in order.   Our young Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, said recently that poverty is sexist. There is a large movement to lift women and children out of poverty. Which, while good, still divides us as a race. In that I mean the human race, all people on this earth belong to a single race, the human one.   I’ve been poor. I’ve been very poor. I’ve spent days hungry. I know w

Cult: Time Masters

A Facebook entry made me think of one of the cult animations of my childhood: Time Masters.   As a child, I was having nightmares because of it, it's not really a tale for little kids, more a sci-fi for young adults. The French-Hungarian co-production was legendary to those days, 60 artists were working on it for almost 3 years. Thanks to IMDb, there is a parents guide, what says 6 years and above for Germany, the age 13 for Argentina seems more appropriate.   Synopsis from IMdB:   Piel,

Stranger Things

I finally broke down and got Netflix so I could watch Stranger Things, which is kind of like an homage to 1970's/1980's sci-fi teen fantasy movies/books. It's about a nerdy group of middle school friends in small town America 1983, when one of the group goes mysteriously missing.   Some big nostalgia factor- aside from being set in '83, it's also got 80's teen stars Matthew Modine and Winona Ryder. Winona especially turns in quite the performance as a single mom slowly but surely coming apart

Am I Worthless?

Every time this question popped into my head, you people made think different and made me feel great. But once I go off of this alive space, reality hits me so hard. So hard that my heart will get squeeze to pulp and hurt me so much.   My parents never cared about what I want and they always never give a sh*t about me. And now even my things are became worthless to them. My cloth, my books... my all things became a unwanted stuff in their house.   My Ex. He even flirts with me even though I

Thank You Caz

For the first time in my life I got a package through normal mail, a gift from my friend here, for my birth day. It was not simply a gift, but for me more than anything in my life. My first ever printed poem. I don't have words right now and don't know how to thank properly other than the way I knew, writing a poem for them. And Caz, this is for you...     Sometime simple 'Thank You' was not enough to say our gratitude towards someone special   Sometimes a simple 'Smile' w

A Dental Update

Hey everyone!   So, Wednesday morning, I woke up with an annoying ache in one of my teeth. At first, I was able to ignore it since it was more a nuisance than an actual pain, but the ache began to intensify later that afternoon and really got bad at night (to the point where I wasn't able to sleep ). Well, Thursday morning saw me at the dentist's office to make an emergency appointment, and thankfully they had a slot opened for 11:30 AM, which meant I didn't have to wait that for long.

Fragments

Good stories never end. They just begin a new chapter. Fragments were our destiny. Our fate doomed the first time I saw you smile. Your eyes were filled with the moist heat of the mid summer mango grove's shady effervescent infrangible delight. Your movements took shape in the delicate prowess of a mountain leopard. Your form undulating to the beats that broke down the unyielding barrier of disaffection. And your gentle grace that stoked the hopes of an arid wanderer. But it wasn't to last forev

Update

A lot has been going on and it's been a while since I've been as active as I was before. Listing down the changes in my life seems easier than having to write it down in paragraphs.   1. Just finishing my 1st year degree program in uni. Had 2 papers to resit by the end of the semester, but I nailed it.   2. Finally signed up for a license at the DMV near uni, convenient since the goal is to drive to and from school. ( I should've done this ages ago but money was tight back then.)

Grannies And Australian Penguins

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   http://parade.com/217117/ashleighschmitz/how-knitting-sweaters-can-help-save-penguins-lives/   Thought I'd share funny, cute, and interesting factoid

On Being 67

Yesterday was my sixty-seventh birthday. I got a free B-52 at the Ixtapa in Sultan; plus, I had two shots of Oban single malt Scotch. As birthdays go, it was tolerable.   For all that happened yesterday, I’m bored with life; due to changes in my meds I’ve gained over 30 lbs. in the past year; my cataracts are worsening to the point where I get a new prescription every six months; I've got skin cancer on my ear; I can’t drive more than a couple miles to the grocery store and definitely not out

Current Writing Projects

I wanted to give an update to let everyone know what writing projects I have in the works. Chapter 19 of "The Hollow Hills" is almost complete and will be sent to my team soon. I hope to have it posted within the next couple of weeks. I am very appreciative of all the support I've received for this story. I know my posting speed is excruciatingly slow, but it's very important to me that I focus on producing the best story possible vs. cranking out chapters quickly and not being happy with th

Returning Sunshine

You kept telling me how I took up all the space in our relationship. How you needed to get away To get a way around the things in your head... Blasphemy. I believe I was still in your head. And stuck in the chambers of your heart, Your entrails shackling me to the walls of inferiority.   Understanding your grudging affection Took up most of my daylight, yet you kept Asking for more... more space in your head. More air to breath, you sought out the nearest Island of wasted youth. More experienc

Fun Story Nothing Serious Feel Free To Continue

As I doze out of bed still unaware of the time. I take a look at my alarm only to discover that it is 7:45 AM. "Shit" I said to myself. Swiftly change my pj to my student uniform. No time to shower I thought. Dashing down the stair like a wild stallion try to step up my pace with a bread in my mouth ( ) . I turn the doorknob and open the door only to discover that today is not a normal day .........

I Feel . . .

The ellipses fits my frame of mind right now. It's as if my mind can't complete any of its thoughts properly. I'm constantly locked in this never-ending battle with my wayward brain. It's complicated, and it's starting to screw with me in ways I never thought would happen to me.   I can't write like this. At least, I can't write novels. I can probably still do a short story, possibly even a novella, but novels? It just isn't happening. I sit down, maybe get through a chapter, and then the thou
