    By Cia

    Wow, November already. With the year almost over, I wanted to keep featuring things that kept readers guessing and challenge the idea of the traditional reading genres and stories. What did you think of Hustle? Share your thoughts below, but first, the interview!! Chocolate or Vanilla? I have to cheat... both! What's your favorite room in your home? Do you plot or write there? I don't have a favourite room and I write where ever I find myself alone and not being disturbed, of

Gay Themed Movie Review "Yossi and Jagger"

I am bias about this movie, I really liked it as an 18 year old trying to figure himself out, and as a 27 year old, I still like it, because it is relevant to our times, which is quite sad and tragic.   I am going to leave my commentaries about Israel and its military towards the end of this review:   Plot:   Yossi is an Israeli military commander and Lior,, his subordinate and a team leader nicknamed Jagger due to his handsome looks, are in a budding gay closeted relationship on a Lebanon

Thanks for the EXTREME pateince!

I just want to start by saying THANK YOU FOR PATIENCE!   It means so much that all of you have been so kind about my long absence. I have been astoundingly busy with getting ready for college and being a senior in school, it's been wearing on me.   There is good news however in that brand new stories are coming SOON.   There is bad news as well and that involves Trigger. I've been able to complete over half the story now, but complications have led to the halt of future writing for this s

Three WW1 Poems, a tribute

Poem 3: Many Vespers   On a road stretching to the horizon, The grey arrow of our marching is deterred By muddy feet and hearts without the sun To troop along behind the line of one life pilfered.   His boots placed reversed in the riding mount Remind us all that we are leaderless, Tho no tears can come from the dried-up fount Where once our sorrows flowed pure and boundless.   The funeral procession will march on, But this fuss for one rankles when many others Received cold obse

Nostalgic TV Shows: Happy Days

Well, I was channell surfing last night and just got a nostalgic itch for watching something older than me   Behold, the king of Nostalgic comedy: Happy Days.   Ron Howard and Henry Winkler had a good comedic duet, Ron's conventional Ritchie Cunnningham and Henry's immortal womanizing rebel, Arthur Fonzerelli, played to each others' characters perfectly. The supporting casts of stereotypical 1950's family and friends were equally comedic in their own ways from slapstick to understatement.

Endings

In a purely technical sense, as of now, I am unemployed. I left my employer this morning having handed in my ID card, blackberry, laptop etc and very much feeling the effects of my leaving party last night.   Obviously this is good news, not least because i will now have time to actually fulfil my obligations as a beta reader.   I now have a week of unemployment before starting my new role - I'm very excited

Lava Beds National Monument

In Northern California, Lava Beds is a rugged beauty created by the Medicine Lake Shield volcano.     The landscape is covered in basalt- a thick, dark lava and many features like hundreds of lava tubes and vents.           If you ever get a chance, it is well worth a look.

What should I watch next?

Suvitar suggestions: I am adding some notes in Blue   Sommersturm (summer storm Germany 2004)- This was actually my first gay non-pornographic movie (I had used Bearshare to download it, because I didn't have a credit card and I didn't know where else I could find gay movies, I wish I could pay the producers for giving me a great introduction into coming out. I saw this movie in 2005, when I was 18 and had left my home for college, 2 week early move in and right before they put the P2P blocks

"Don't Panic!" – or, how to read a screenplay

"Don't Panic!" – or, how to read a screenplay   In a scene from the pen of the immortal Douglas Adams, we are presented with this image:   "Ford!" he said, "there's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they've worked out."   Adams’ The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (London 1981) explains that the situation of the monkeys with movie ambitions is merely temporary, and is one of the unavoidable res

Redwood Highway

One of the places you must see before you die is a highway in Oregon and Northern California called the Redwood Highway.   US 199 runs from Grant's Pass Oregon to Crescent City, CA and points south. It's a frikkin magic ride that takes you past crystal clear rivers running to the sea through canyons that they have cut over the eons. Those valleys are filled with redwoods and sequoias.   That's just for starters. Those woods are full of wildlife. I pulled off the road to an Elk Viewing Area.

Trials and Tribulations

I have decided to end Trials and Tribulations Book 1 The Beginning with chapter 26, Family. I will be taking some time off and then begin the second book, yet to be named.   Thank you everyone that ever wrote me, commented on a chapter, and/or left a review. I never expected to have a story of mine to be so well received by so many of you. I truly look forward to writing again on this and other stories.   It will take some time to gather together a team to edit and beta for me, but most impo

Short Story Anthology Release

Evening y'all, I am delighted to announce that I have/about to have, a second short story published exclusively by House of Erotica. The story is Limelight and Gin: Ruby Rose is the hottest jazz singer in town, and Eugene loves working for her as a backing dancer. He likes the limelight, the bootleg gin, and he's slightly jealous that it's only the girls who get to wear sparkly outfits on stage. The thing Eugene likes most about Ruby, is that she will keep his secret,and doesn't gossip. Unle

Gay Themed Movie "Juste Une Question d'amour" Review

I love french films; their movies provide great characters and intricate plots.   Here is the simple plot:   Laurent is a closeted gay boy attending college and studying agricultural engineering. His family is deeply homophobic and have inclinations toward exiling gay family members, like Laurent's dead cousin Marc, who died of Hepatitis (probably not from sexual activity based on the film's scenes, maybe drug use though). Laurent was close with his cousin and his cousin's boyfriend Alain. L

A Monty Python World - Wensleydale, anyone..?

Ok. It's a classic sketch of TV comedy. John Cleese walks into a cheese monger's shop and wants to buy some 'cheesy comestibles.' To his surprise, no matter how many types of clotted and aged dairy foods of the cheese kind he names, the shop is out.     At one point Cleese kisses his fingertips and cries out "Vive le fromage de la belle France!" and now he has a new product and region to extol. Vive le fromage de la belle Tarim Basin…?   Yes. If you are a fan of well-aged fermented curd

Some Apologies

I have to apologize to a few people. I am sorry this week has been a total disaster and I haven't been able to keep up as I should.   Monday - I really wasn't out to let people know, but my father was in the hospital for tests. There was a concern about some growths found which biopsies had to be done. Good news is that it wasn't cancer, but it was a nerve wracking few days.   Tuesday - I came home from work to find a letter from the insurance agency saying that my back should have been cov

the forest primeval

This tree could be upwards of 2500 years old.   When it was a seedling, the Spartans and the Persians met at Marathon.   When Christ walked the earth, it was alive.   When it was an adult swaying in the cool winds of the Pacific Northwest, Europe was dying of the Black Death.   It was already a giant when Columbus blundered into Sab Salvador.   The two hundred-forty something years of the existence of the United States are as nothing to the giant.   It is timeless and a world apart;

Just Life

You know? I guess I should feel fortunate to have an interesting and progressive life. We had a disgruntled employee threaten to burn the plant down this week. We went on lock down. The local law enforcement visited us many times, and I actually had a pistol in my cradenza. So yeah, life goes on. Ok, so far.   My funny this week was my homophobic supervisor that shares my office space. We have a door between us, but normally, it remains open. He hates gays although, I think I've said it

Some of the World's Greatest AIDS researchers....Gone

Malaysian Flight 17 has gone from human tragedy to something I can't put into words with this revelation.   http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/18/aids-conference-says-100-researchers-may-have-been-on-board-crashed-plane   Yesterday, I thought this was a human tragedy.   Today, I imagine not only those who have died on that plane, but the millions of people around the world, who may die, because such great minds were lost. There are many in the gay community, who are positive, so it

Human Tragedy and the inevitability of human conflict

Love vs Hate

Hi everyone! I hope you all are well and having an awesome day.   Those of you that know me will attest that I am a man of many opinions and not shy about sharing them. However, the recent past finds me trying to be more selective in my trips to the soap box to render a diatribe. I believe I have been somewhat successful in this endeavor, at least until now.   I have never been accused of being a gay activist and I don't think of myself as one now, either. What has happened now to change my

Update on my reviews and some Food Porn

First about my movie reviews, I have decided to review the gay themed movie Juste une question d'amour, Expect to see that this sunday (I have decided to do my reviews on Sunday, so I don't over do it).   As some of you remember, who know me over the years at GA, I can speak and write in french, so it's not a huge issue for me to review and watch French films Personally, I prefer them and German films to a lot of American gay themed movies. I also watch a bit of Chinese gay themed movies as a

Three WW1 Poems, a tribute

Poem 2: The Waltz and the Lance   Every man will dance to his tune, Whether his comrades can hear it or not, And when the music fades too soon, The memory will glue him to the spot. Feted wonder then is it there That to such a man as this, others will stare.   To twist and turn about his fate, Is no mean feat when others are in charge, Inclined to pause and hesitate, A private moment to enlarge. But what's done in equality Is bold beyond words, for all that might agree.

Cleaning up

I am a hoarder. There, I said it. I hoard memories. I keep things long after I should. Today, I started cleaning out.   I was on my hotmail account and there I still had emails from exs, including one who decided to break up after two years via email rather than face to face or even on the phone. I kept his final message and all the rest. I am past the point of caring about it. I opened it and laughed that I still had it. Amazing what nearly twelve years will do to your point of view. What I o
