    Secret Author - Rewind!

    By Valkyrie

    The posting of this year's Secret Author Contest will be delayed indefinitely due to Cia going through a tragic family emergency.  Please respect her privacy and do not reach out to her and ask questions at this time, especially about when the SA stories will be published.  We apologize for the delay, as we know this is a highly-anticipated event each year, but family matters take precedence, especially during a time like this.  Thank you for your attention and understanding.  Stay tuned for mor

Hey you, I miss you

[personal rant, I just let everything flow out of me. Not really a poem, didn't even care if it made sense. But this is mine, all of it and how I felt after dealing with a heartache.] I look into the mirror and I ask myself, "Please stop crying -- don't you know that you are absolutely beautiful?"   What can you do when your good isn't good enough? Everything we've done has made a mess of things.   I guess I felt it for awhile, that sudden urge to cry, but I've been detaching my

Childhood Dreams

I have some acquaintances from high school. One got an article write-up about landing a role in a professional production of Romeo and Juliet. The other one, who works tech, is apparently going to work scifi effects for a Disney movie. Another hasn't had anything big happen, but she is really working toward her goal of breaking it into the movie business in Hollywood. It just had me thinking, about when I was fifteen years old and really wanted to be an actor. I wanted to be in movies- maybe

Found out something about my tenant

I feel odd right now. I've been doing taxes for people left and right and offered to do my dad's elderly tenant taxes as well.   After some simple research in property history, I discovered something about this guy. He's a convicted catholic priest with several decade of child molestation charges against altar boys. I didn't know this before I did the research and now I wish I didn't dig too deeply.   I am left at a moral and ethical divide. I know he's a good man; he does volunteering for t

Springtime, at last !

Lately, the days lengthen, the sun comes early and stays late at the top of the terrace. We changed our watches to summer time and it's nice!   My old muscles are rejuvenated and the urge to run and swim itches. The parks and their jogging trails are calling. I resumed my subscription to the public pool (partly covered for warm-up and an outdoor pool to enjoy the coolness of the water with the sun reflected on its surface.   I am glad to get out, walk in the city, watching all these teenages

the largest and most energetic structures in the known universe

X-Ray Emissions from Perseus Cluster Solve a Dark Matter Mystery Source Link:Daily Galaxy Galaxy clusters are millions of light-years across, and most of their normal matter comes in the form of hot X-ray-emitting gas that fills the space between the galaxies. The Japanese X-Ray space satellite Suzaku explored faint X-ray emission of hot gas across two swaths of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster and made a discovery that solved a vexing mystery.   "Understanding the content of normal, bayronic ma

Advising for Year 2

I had my talk with my advisor with my proposed plan for the second year of grad school.   Some things came clear. I won't be doing a thesis. I might work on some publications, but it's not really where I want to go.   I also don't want to go into a PhD program, at least for a few years. Which pretty much means I really don't have a chance of working in the community college scene because the job market is so bad that PhD's are fighting over jobs in that field.   I want to work in a museum,

- Please don't forget me.

- I've been giving up on people too easily. If they don't call, if they don't try - then I don't. It's not fair to lay the blame on them when I'm not calling, either. I'm just as much at fault. I've got a lot of resentment for old friends - for letting me go without a fight.   ...   I just want someone to call and say, "I miss you, how are you?"   I just want to call someone and say "I miss you, I'm sorry."   I want to be brave enough to stay in one place, but it's hard, and

Baby Momma Drama Update

So today started out like crap, seemed to get better then ended like a ginormous turd.   First I got written up at work - first time in 20 years - guess I shouldn't be too upset. While yelling at my supervisor in court with the judge on the bench is wrong and I guess I deserved to be written up for it, her being completely incompetent and screwing up my case - I ended up losing btw - seemed perfectly reasonable to me. The big boss did some checking - thankfully she IS competent [she didn't

Operation Hammerhead- a preview

Task Force Hammerhead 1st Carrier Division Fleet Carrier Saratoga   Two Weeks out of Epsilon Indi     The stress of two weeks navigating the great fleet through the galactic halo was taking its toll on Danny. They had managed to make great time. They had made a little over forty-five thousand light years in a series of long jumps and had managed to do it without losing a single ship. Even Admiral Bassett was impressed and had sent his compliments to the whole navigation staff.   Behind

Wondering about writing

Sunday has come and about to be gone, it's a nice enough day. I have no complaints about where things stand; although, my aspirations have not been fulfilled. I guess there really isn't much to talk or write about except in my stories.   Exodus is finally getting more traction as I will probably be ready with the next half week after April 18th. The short Genesis series should hold any loyal fans over for the time being.   I am also starting to think about my older stories. I kind of surpri

Socrates' Gad Fly

< LULZ     In any community of like minded people, there is a serious problem: they are LIKE-MINDED. Discussions invariably reach the same conclusions, the facts are all agreed upon and rarely challenged.   The danger involved is that such a once dynamic community faces a serious danger of becoming static. Anyone who has a dissenting view is an idiot. Dissent itself is discouraged and shunned.   The truth becomes lost somewhere in the sickly sweet goo of good intentions called politic

Update

Hey everyone! It’s been far too long since I’ve been around GA but even longer since I posted a blog but I promise to keep this short. For the past few months I’ve taken a step back from the site in order to get my personal life in order. I’ve been through some rough spots lately and I’m still not sure where exactly my life is headed right now. I’ve been in and out of physical therapy for about 3 months now but I’ll most likely have to go back in for more surgery. Nothing serious, just a minor s

Ouch

No need to sound so amazed. I don't have an exceptional memory. I just remember what we talked about last time we chatted even though it was 5 months ago. Of course I paid attention to what you like, to what your interests are, to what we have in common, to what is dear to both of us. That's what I do when I have a crush on someone. I'm stupid like that.   You obviously don't feel the same. I guess I should have known when you said I wasn't really your type but that there was no harm in

I’m proud !

I’m proud to be what I am, proud of my successes, proud of my errors, proud as well of my qualities as of my defects, proud to have arrived at my age with scars at my heart and at my body but alive, with still sufficient forces to enjoy the life and to ensure my place among the warriors. I’m proud of still being able to help around me, to be accepted by my peers, to have been able to preserve some friends, not to have forgotten those who left us for always. I’m proud to have released myself f

- I fell in love with a Crack Addict. -

[Not a poem, this is like a personal diary entry based off a recent event in my life. Give it a read and tell me what ya think. (: ] I was shopping with my mom when I encountered him. We were in an upscale boutique, admiring the elegant, but not particularly eye-catching clothes. A boy wearing a pair of skinnies and some brand named sweater came in. I had seen him earlier, on a street corner, shouting lewd comments at some respectable-looking man. He edges up to us, looking around frantica

Whacko for Flacco

I was at a bar tonight. Some DC business dudes noticed my University of Delaware flacco sweatshirt. I got it back in fall '09 when I was drunk at Homecoming. This one guy wanted to buy it off of me, because the Baltimore/DC area apparently doesn't sell Joe Flacco UD swag. I wound up selling it to the guy for forty dollars. Plus the two drinks I got, and the tip I would have given the bartender, I wound up clearing about 48 dollars.   The best part is that the sweatshirt had almost little to

She's not there

I've loved this song my enitre life. I usually think of the original version by the Zombies, but I've heard others that I've liked as well. I didn't even mind when "Glee" did a cover, though like all the times they've done a cover of one of my favorite song, I've been wary (though twice I feel their interpretation improved it on the original, such as "Bad Romance").   And in all the times I've loved and thought about this song, there was one reading of it I never considered, and that stopped m

Even if you want to sigh; smile for me, for the world, for you.

Melange Lavonne is one of my favorite lesbian artists. <3 If you need some inspiration, then give these music videos a watch. <3 Things definately do get better, but only if you want it too (:         and yes, I cried (surprise surprise)!

Tiger Poo Effective Pest Repellent

Study: Tiger Poo Effective Pest Repellent 03/10/2011 Source Link: Animal Planet Blog     Researchers in Australia have discovered that the smell of tiger feces is a great deterrent for crop-chewing creatures like goats and kangaroos. The idea is that the smell of a predator nearby will keep these animals away from certain plants.     A team of researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia spread tiger poo collected from zoos near the feeding troughs of goats and found it t

Army of Shadows (French: L'armée des ombres)

Army of shadows (French l'armée des ombres) is a 1969 french film about the fights of the French resistance during WWII. I saw this movie recently, which reminded me of my own memories of the period 1939-1945. I was 10 years in 39 and 16 years in 45. Living in a neutral country, surrounded on all sides by German forces, we expected every day the Nazi invasion. Our army of 600,000 soldiers
