Oh, damn! Going to be one of those days.

I know I can't be the only one. I woke up this morning with a song stuck in my head. I wouldn't mind if it was a happy or upbeat one' but no. I got up and the song "Smile" is running through my head. Usually when this happens the song indicates what sort of day I am in for. Wonder what sort of heartbreak I am in for?   For those who don't know it, one of my favorites sings it here

Pizazz

I have this thing with Pizazz Mini Fruit Slices from Cavalier Candies Ltd, Winnipeg, MB R3B 0R4 (Product of Canada, obviously). Yesterday I received a 24 oz. package of these delicious candies. I ate most of them yesterday and finished them off this morning (no, I did not eat them for breakfast, but it was close).   Then this afternoon I put together a new playlist on iTunes containing some of the songs I like best. It a couple hours, but I’m fairly satisfied with the results. There is a lot o

i don't like when i dislike my friends. especially the ones from home.   but they are all stuck there, kind of stuck in high school. nothing is going for them. a part of me wants to keep the friendships but another part of me wants to cut them off. they are a block to my creativity and progress. is that worth sacrificing though? they make me mad, they seem immature. i notice their immaturity. its nothing outlandish, just small things. moral things that my parents taught me to do right but they

Couth

So, I was not going to tell this, but it is eating me alive. My brother is retired out of the military. He asked last weekend if he could bring his girlfriend to stay for the night. Of course, I said it was fine. They got to my home around three in the afternoon and we grilled and visited while my hubby cooked. They had probably been there about two hours and she started telling about someone that had been to her father's business and wanted to buy some of his offerings. The person wanted t

Weekly Review: Prince Claimed by Amber Kell

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17450349-prince-claimed" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px"><img alt="Prince Claimed (Thresl Chronicles #2)" border="0" src="http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1362032155m/17450349.jpg" /></a> This story really is a 3.5 star rating for me. I liked Soldier Mine quite a bit ... but was really anxious for the overall story to be further in the sequel. When it finally came out as Prince Claimed, I was very excited. <br /><br /&

Life isn't easy

I have begun physical therapy. I've only had two sessions so not looking to go dancing or run a marathon. I realize this isn't going to heal overnight and I have to be patient. Just wish that while one part of my life was out of kilter the rest would remain on course.   Just feeling really old and alone lately. Life marches on and rather than be run over, I find a way to keep on going.   I offer this one piece of advice to those who might read it. Be careful what you say. You never know what

Need a beta and Editor for something old and new

I know people waiting for Big Squeeze, but I can't release new chapters without some aid.   I also have begun writing a new Sci-Fi story, one that I really like and hope intrigues people with its ideas and hook.   Take a look at my request and a short example of my sci-fi story, if you want to offer help:

Safety Board Wants to Lower BAC Driving Limits

Safety Board: Legally Drunk Should be .05 instead of .08   I'm pretty against this. When I was in college, I had a system of having four drinks within an hour, which created a nice little buzz, and then waiting two hours while eating before driving myself home, and I never at any time felt like I was impaired. Four drinks + two hours of waiting around was perfectly responsible and safe.   I think the recomendation as written would mean that a typical male could only have 3 drinks before bein

Fragile Breath

It is a murmur A quite touch, a gasp, a quiver; A simple sign A rise and fall, an in and out.   It is so fragile So precious, glorious, special; A delicate marvel That points to all we hold dear.   Yet, but a moment Is all time needs to snuff it out; A simple second To tear, and rip, and take.   Gone In a fleeting instant, escaped; To grace another's lips To dwell in another place.   Please treasure this gift Revel in its particular joys; Love, smile, laugh Take time to en

The long road to recovery

While I've done my best to be as transparent as I possibly can with all of you. I can't honestly sit here and say that I haven't been lying to myself, because with every alarm that’s to wake me for the beginning of the day, I proclaim: Today will be the day I don't get alcohol, I swear to God, and by all that is good and Holy, I MEAN IT!   Then as my work day comes to a close.... All I want is that one sip, that luscious taste hitting my tongue. The sweet bitter goo going down my throat, and I

Remembering

Time has a way of moving on and not always do we notice. Unfortunately we seem to mark events by the good or bad events in our lives. Overall I guess I cannot complain.   I have events that are great milestones. Graduating high school, then college. Going for my Masters degree (okay it is just the damn thesis I need to finish). The birth of my godson. The marriage of my brother. The marriages of so many friends.   However these are offset by the passing of some important people as well. The

Am I Allowed to be Scared?

People's perceptions within society has always been something that's interested me.   It is quite funny actually, without even meaning too, we develop these pre conceived ideas about how life and our place in society should look. We get this from our parents, social norms within our culture, social trends within the world around us, our peers, the media and the way in which this vast array of information that hits us as we grow up is interpreted and received by those that have the biggest infl

My own blast from the past

So tonight on Challenge TV, two of the greatest children's shows ever are being shown from the beginning.   Both were shows that every 80's child in the UK wanted to be on.   Funhouse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fun_House_(UK_game_show) and Knightmare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knightmare   These two shows were on when satellite TV was practically unheard of in the UK. In fact, we only had four TV channels when these two shows were first broadcast.   Knightmare was probably the most

Heading to San Diego, any tips

I know it's not San Fran, but I can't resist the call of the wild and shamu III   Any travel tips or ideas? Any gay travel things I can do in the city, like shows or clubs. Not looking to hook up, but I wouldn't mind meeting some So Cal guys either

Mother's Day

I was sent this by a good friend and I thought it was worth passing on to the GA community. Dave     JUST A MOM?   A woman, renewing her driver's license , was asked by the woman at Registry to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.   'What I mean is, ' explained the woman at Registry, 'do you have a job or are you just a ...?'   'Of course I have a job,' snapped the woman. 'I'm a Mom.'   'We don't list 'Mom'

Gay Marriage in Delaware

Delaware to Become 11th State with Gay Marriage   Pretty cool. I honestly thought that this wouldn't have happened until I was at least in my mid-30's.   I remember back around 2004, I was a camp counselor visiting the Delaware Legislative Hall with my middle school charges. We brought up gay marriage, and one of our tour guides said that with the gay marriage ban in our state it'd take a long time for that to happen here. Pretty incredible how fast things changed.   I am in n

Colonisation

Ghostboy posted a comment in "Gorilla Glass" "There is nothing that can be imagined that can't be accomplished. It might take a long time for some things to reach the point of viability, but it will happen. The only thing that worries me is there might not be enough time to do it all. One of the things that we seem to be failing at is maintaining the planet we depend on for survival. The big idea in that respect seems to be figuring out how to colonize other planets in time to save a few humans

Growing really old is not so easy

I have read with great pleasure MikeL's blog 'Growing Old is Awesome' posted a few days ago. And then I went to look at his profile and I noticed that he was in his 71st year. He still has therefore some 15 years for having the same age as me, 84 years next month.   I remembered how I was myself 15 years ago, in 1998. I too could have written the same blog as him, with the same title. I knew to enjoy my life without worrying about the future. I rejoiced in the morning to know that I could make

Internet Sales Tax may be coming, it has passed the Senate

http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/06/pf/taxes/internet-sales-tax-vote/index.html?hpt=hp_t2     Goodbye tax free shopping and Amazon Bulk purchases, online shopping may be getting taxed. I get it from a tax perspective, it has been a gaping loophole in the US and international tax jurisdiction that people can buy a lot of items online while avoiding sales tax. It isn't fair to brick and mortar businesses like Best Buy that I go in there to check out the newest gadgets, then go online to buy it at a

You are Who you Are

Well, hell, it has been a good many moon's since I've sat and had a plonk away at the keyboard to fill out some space on my blog.   Where the hell have I been you ask?   Good question really. Things in my personal life have kept me really busy of late. Some really weird shit, some pretty exciting stuff, and of course, there is the stuff we get up to here at GA that keeps us out of mischief too.   Haha.

Bigot Americans worsen the position of gays abroad

Bigot Americans fighting against gays abroad.   I am disgusted that this is happening. It's revolting, I really don't have any understanding for this. Funnily enough, they would never move in to those countries. But they have enough guts to spread their venomous pile of crap there. Great how American notion of free speech and religion gave birth to one of the weirdest parade of lunatic churches, cults and gay-bashing freaks that are influencing lives of people in other countries that don't get
