Meditations For A Fictional Story : Outlines For My Universe's Moral Compass

Writing is more than an exercise in your imagination; it is a meditation on creation and destruction, but not always good vs. evil.   I've come to realize that what I am aiming for in my story is not a traditional story of heroes and villains, but a story of three, maybe even four, potential directions.   Here's how the idea works, there are basically three sides in existence: Creation, Destrucion, and Transition.   On a theological level, since I am musing on Eastern Theology and even por

Dangerous Settlers

One day in New Zealand:   Auckland Settlers: *Settles upon land sitting on 50 unpredictable volcanoes.* Wellington Settlers: *Settles at the bottom of north island where wind blows everyone over and every time it rains, the place floods.* Christchurch Settlers: *Settles on land above and close to undiscovered fault lines that has every potential to cause violent earthquakes and create tsunamis.* Dunedin Settlers: *Settles on uneven rolling hills, with climate so cold it snows ever season.*

Erin Go Brah

A big congratulations to my cousins on the Emerald Isle.   The Irish people now have a freedom many gay people still do not have here in the United States.   It may serve as a major indicator of the great change in our lives as gay men and women that we are on the verge of experiencing. Near universal acceptance in the Western World.   You must understand how deeply rooted in the Catholic Culture Ireland is. Of all the nations in Europe, and most certainly in Western Europe, it has been th

Shi'ite Vs. Sunni

I don't often have a reaction to the incessant Sunni vs. Shi'ite warfare now raging in the Middle East, but make an exception following the bombing of a mosque in Saudi Arabia.   Saudis learn from grade one that Shi'ites aren't real Muslims. And Muslims think it is fine and dandy to kill non-Muslims.So, basically Saudis are programmed from grade one to kill Shi'ites and anyone else that is not Sunni.   The Shi'ites and Sunnis are almost as bad as the Protestant vs. Catholic rivalry than plag

My Interview With The_Jordanator

Hi everyone, welcome to the self-interview! Thank you for joining me today as I talk to The_Jordanator about his story which is fast rising in popularity, Someone Like Me.   Me: Thank you for agreeing to do this   J: It's a pleasure.   Me: The first question we want to ask you is not on your story, but for yourself. You're a new author to GA, and 16 years old which is quite young. You've also told us that you're bisexual as well. Have you ever been bullied for your sexuality?   J: Well,

Older Than You Think

This is just the worst.   My Dad decided it would be a good idea to post a picture of our family of four on howold.net As the results turn out, this was not a good idea at all. Can I just say before you laugh at the results image that I'm 16 and Mum is 45ish. She wasn't wearing any makeup either.   (Note: Photo has been cropped to disclude rest of family)

An Interview With Oneself

I have already made suggestions about this, but now it is official. I will be interviewing The_Jordanator about his story 'Someone Like Me.' The interview will be blogged here at the JordanNation Blog in two days time. The author promises information about the story that is a MUST know for all readers.   He's also taking questions, and the first question somebody has already asked to tell him is: 'Have you ever been bullied for your sexuality?' The_Jordanator will be answering that question a

Rising Star

Recently I checked out my status and reputation points. Now I know I'll sound egocentric when I say this, which I have proved to be in previous posts, but I think I'm getting popular. With a reputation of 129 with the caption 'Moving on up', is say that is a good on-track position to be in. Some other reputation levels are below that, which I'm confused about for some as they are really cool people. I think it's my story. Every chapter published gets a healthy growth spurt from the reputatio

Trust, Not Lust

Lonely people need to get a grip. I'm looking at you, gay men. Also single women. Looking for love is okay, but trusting strangers on the Internet is not. Let me tell you the first rule about strangers. Everything they say is a lie until verified by ten different pieces of evidence, at which point it can advance from lie to simple exaggeration. Never do human beings utter truth. Truth is elusive, not something that can be spoken.   If you are browsing matchmaker-for-gullible-people.com, and th

What They Don't Tell You

When I was a kid and adults were trying to scare me out of my nasty homosexual hobby, they used to tell me stuff designed to scare it out of you. They said all you could ever hope to be is a bartender or a prostitute. Homosexuals always end up in prison. Homosexuals are useless, can't have families and other delightful things.   Of course that was all a product of the WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) society that I was immersed in. Some of it was self fulfilling.   Many young gay men in t

Forced Vaginal Exams

So what are you learning up there in college, dear?   Lubricated transvaginal probes, indeed. That was a lawsuit waiting to happen if there ever was one.   However, it is an open secret in medicine that students practice on one another. That includes some touching, grasping, occasional disrobing, listening, feeling, and probing. I still find lubricated transvaginal probes surprising, though. Especially when sexual stimulation is needed to insert them properly.   Clever students! They may g

Forgive Me, Please? :(

I just wanted to say sorry for what I said in my last blog.   Yesterday I posted an entry impersonating America for allowing their citizens to have guns, and comparing them to ISIS. I have realized that this was not a wise thing to do, and it has been made clear to me through your comments. I apologize for upsetting or riling up some of you because of my post, I want to say that I had no intention of making you feel upset about it. If you want me to, I can take down the entry.   I did this

In Guns We Trust

*America:* Boy, look at all the American fatalities that have happened over the past year, especially with all the shootings and gun-related murders. How could this possibly happen?   *America:* It can't be because our citizens are legally allowed to own and use guns for 'self defense', a rather loose and uncontrolled law that has every potential to go very wrong and blast our nation into a pile of blood and smoking guns and at the very least, significantly decrease the global population. No i

I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke- Mad Men's Finale

The iconic show about advertising ended with the most iconic commercial of the 20th century. In honor of the finale...check out the single version of Seriously though, I'm thrilled Mad Men referenced that ad. I think it's such a brilliant piece of advertising with a message that still resonates today- share a Coke with a friend and make a bond for a little while regardless of who they are. Here's the real origin story behind the ad- Bill Backer was on a flight layover, and noticed that the

Haters And Bigots = Changes To My About Me Section

Just a short rant I promise. I have had to make some changes to my about me section and here is why..   I had a visit today from my church pastor and like I expected it was about… yep you guessed it, my writing. Apparently I am leading my readers down the wrong path and maybe am heading there myself. *cue the eye roll*   I won’t bore everyone with our conversation, but needless to say he wants me to stop writing gay/paranormal romance and I very nicely told him to get stuffed. I told him I

Wine In Trouble

This is embarrassing.   I do a lawn mowing job for my dad's employee. The employee Mike gave me a bottle of wine for Dad coz he owed him for something. Anyway, after the job, I began waking home with the lawn mower with the edge clipper and broom on it, with the bottle in hand which was wrapped in plastic wrapping. I only got around the corner when the bottle slipped from my hand. Yes, I dropped and smashed it. So as I stared in complete fascination at what I'd done, I thought about telling m

Where Have They All Gone?

Warning: This is a message that may offend middle-aged to near elderly members. No offense.   I just want to know where all the teens arehere? You know? Practically all my friends here are between 40 and 60 and that's awfully disturbing. They're great but they'd be better if they stayed a teenager. I know a couple in their twenties and I know ConnorWhite who is 17 (hurrah) but that's like the only teen here I know.   If you are teen near the age of 16 or know of anyone who fits this categor

Electric Innuendo

On the way home today, I saw this hilarious thing I have to tell you. We were behind a van which looked like it belonged to an electrical company. On the back of the van however it said: 'We remove your shorts and turn you on.'   I nearly died with laughter right then and there.

Gay For A Week

This is going to be interesting. For the first time, I'm letting you into the bizarre and crazy world of me. Welcome, take a seat and get comfy.   Now, today something wierd happened.   I have been friends with a boy called Chris since 2012 at high school. He has a half right arm which extends only to his elbow where his stump is. He is fit and us a national swimmer representative. He is quite smart, obsessed with Game of Thrones and Greek mythology and is quite opinionated. He's average l

The Broken Beautiful Boy

I posted this on Reddit, in a sub that talks about pleasant encounters you've had with people that left a good impression on you. Here's a tale of an platonic stranger encounter I had when I was 21...   *** When I was in high school, I was a hormonal gay teenager who had two minute crushes on any cute guy that crossed my path. There was this one guy, I can't even remember his name now, who was a senior when I was a freshmen. He was an artistic type, with auburn hair with sideburns that framed
