    November CSR Discussion Day: Hustle by Talo Segura

    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

The Grunge Era Playlist

So, grunge is something I remember and love from my childhood. Here are some great Grunge Era tunes. (I deem the Grunge Era as being about 1991 to 1996, with the Grunge Era officially over when Hanson and Spice Girls ruled the charts in 1997.)   1.   2.   3.   4.   5.   6.   7.   8.

That Boy With the Far Away Eyes

That Boy with the Far Away Eyes     I was drivin’ home late Saturday night Through Pearl, Mississippi Listening to bluegrass music on the redneck radio station, And the cowboy said: “You know you should always have your .45 by your side” And I was so pleased to be informed of this That I shot twenty stop signs in his honour, Thank you Joe-Bob, thank you lord   I had an arrangement to met a boy, and I was kind of late And I thought by the time I got there he’d be off, He’d be off wit

Zombies: My Halloween Story

I will freely admit, a certain green fellow on this forum made was on my mind, when I chose to write a Zombie story.   I have seen many zombie movies in recent years; they are the best social commentary devices, second only to Star Trek strangely enough Currently Walking Dead has the best cast, writers, and overall feel to a zombie story and I know I can't equal it in a short story, so I want to go another quieter route for a zombie story.   I know Jamessavik is writing Case Black, so I am

Happy Autumn

Sonnet No. 85 [October 26th, 2013 – 10:16 am]   Around me, baking apples scent the house, While outside, burning leaves smoke in the clear – And the season to my mood is like spouse, For autumn is a cozy time of year. But, now with you, my bundled warmth I'll share, And chilled fingers will soon be warmed by yours, As hand-in-hand we will walk anywhere The bracing wind wends our steps out-of-doors. The smoldering leaves and sight of orange pumpkin Takes me back to the joys of childho

Reduced Stress

The last few months have been interesting to say the least.   For those of you who don't know, I work for a County owned and operated Nursing Home in southeastern Pennsylvania. When the current set of Commissioners took office, they slowly began down sizing and consolidating different departments. The even sold off one of the County office buildings only to turn around and lease it back. I think the main reason was to get out from under the debt from the purchase incurred by a previous adminis

5 Years Gone- Dan Kincaid

This week marks the 5th anniversary of the passing of a very lovely online friend and member of the community, author Dan Kincaid/Sam. (He died, I believe, on either October 25th of 2008, or October 26th.) I only had the privilege of corresponding with him for a few months before he died, but I'm really glad we did. Back in those days, Adam and I were...well, let's just say that we had somewhat of a personality clash going on, and Sam was really good at being a mediator.   He was a very swe

Vampires

Vampires. Since they started to glitter you think you read it all.   I loved/feared vampires since I secretly watched Christopher Lee with my best friend Natasha and hid under the comforter when it became too much. I think I was eight. Count von Count was one of my favorite Muppets. Later I got the shivers watching Count Orlok, tried to imitate Bela Lugosi's accent and wow how I loved 'Lost Boys'.   I could go on and on, telling you about 'Blade', Vlad the Impaler, Irish myths or even admit

Batman Under the Red Hood Review: An example on what American Animated movies can still do versus their Live action counterparts

Based on my reviews, yes I am a Batman and DC fanboy (I will do Marvel from time to time, I like the Hulk storyline and Marvel CCivil War storyline between Capt. America vs. Iron Man's factions)   However, when it comes to Cartoons, I prefer DC and here's a good example why: Batman: Under the Red Hood   The wiki has spoilers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Under_the_Red_Hood   The Plot summary is very obvious to most Comic book readers, but the short version is simple: the 2nd Robi

Lou Reed Died Today

Unless you're an old hippie or druggie you probably don't remember Lou Reed.   He was a rock and roll bad ass before it was cool. He wrote songs about dope and cross dressers back when Jimmy Morrison was banned from doing concerts because they thought he shook his Johnson at them.       I'm limited by the number of videos I can post but there's a couple more you can look up:   Sweet Jane, Pale Blue Eyes and Heroin all by the Velvet Underground.

Annabel

This is a giant leep forwards. I think it's excellent, superb, and amazing that an musical artist chose to show the plight in a way for intersex people, children. What an amazing music video. Please check it out and be inspired.

I don't know what title to put here

Well I've had 3 counseling sessions already - everything is now open with my counselor. I'm comfortable with the confidentiality agreement but beyond that...i'm hitting a brick wall. I've even gone and assigned an "alias" for the gay thing. Something I can type - funny enough - but can't say aloud. Yet.   She has me focus on breathing exercises (taking deep breaths to return to the present moment instead of going back and forth from past to future thoughts) which is effective in the very very

eBook Review: Illumination by Rowan Speedwell

Illumination by Rowan Speedwell My rating: 4 of 5 stars   Illumination was a fascinating eBook. I was worried the subject matter would revolve around the day in and day out of a rock star. While it did matter, quite a bit, Adam wasn't really the focus of this eBook.   Miles is, by far, the driving character behind the story, though we don't meet him first. He is complex, and has a personality behind the personality. I don't want to give away any of the lovely complexities in this story via s

Retro Cartoon Review: BTAS Appointment in Crime Alley, the perfect episode

I thought I would review a classic, something many of today's kids and even GA's readers will not know about.   Here is a link to the show, but there are commercials (Still worth it for the wonderful episode and story)   http://www.thewb.com/shows/batman-the-animated-series/appointment-in-crime-alley/f3d24d04-d421-4790-bb86-eb6e72336ae2   General Plot (Spoilers):   Daggett, a corrupt real estate developer, is hatching a plan to blow up a slum called Crime Alley, which is home to thugs, d

Ok, Just One More

Hey All--   So, after re-reading Chapters 12 & 13, I decided that I would post Chapter 13 before my 'hiatus' as it is a more fun chapter and is a good ending point. Chapter 14 starts a very long week for the boys (5 chapters and counting) so those who have complained about me 'rushing' things...be careful what you wish for.   Another reason I am posting this chapter is it's the first one to really deal with the rescue and that has been on my mind a lot in recent weeks (more than usual).

The education system is fundamentally flawed.

The statement that is the title is an opinion. To determine if a system is flawed, the purpose of the system must first be established. Once it's established, and only then, can the determination be made if it's functioning correctly or not. So, this prompts the question: What is the purpose of the education system? To educate, of course! But the deeper and real question is, to teach what?   Currently, the education system roughly works like this: Elementary school teaches you basic English

Congratulation New Jersey on being the 14th State

I want to congratulate the state on being the 14th to have gay marriage.   Gov. Christie stopped his legal challenge, so the way is now clear.   Technically, I know he's not a gay rights' supporter or even advocate, but at the very least, he stopped fighting it and let the course of history be the judge. It might cost him the Republican Nomination for President, but he has my praise at least for being a leader with some balls to take on things he doesn't agree with, but his constituents over

Carolina style BBQ sauce

You can buy all sorts of BBQ sauce at your local Kroger and lot's of it is pretty good. Most of it is pretty generic but I've yet to find any based on mustard or vinegar outside of a good BBQ house.   If you are up for a culinary adventure try this one on for size:     Carolina Style BBQ Sauce   Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup Yellow Mustard (French's or Heinze) 1/2 cup Brown Sugar 3/4 cup cider vinegar 3/4 cup beer (dark is best) 1 TBS Chili powder 1TEA black pepper 1TEA white pepper 1/2

eBook Review: Light by Nathan Burgoine

Light by Nathan Burgoine My rating: 4 of 5 stars   Light surprised me. I was expecting something a bit more intellectual, technical, I guess you might say. The cover was very 80s-esque, but the plot is very much within the current trend toward superhero fiction. The blurb really plays up the story's overall plot, and the style, so I wasn't disappointed, just a little surprised at the contrast between the cover and actual story.   I'm not going to go over the plot. It's covered really well i

Chapter 3 is Live, No politics in this entry :P

http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/story/w-l/Causality/4   Time to get into the case, but first, we must get into a little more complexity.   There's a lot of set up here and some interesting things to think about for the next few chapters.   You get to learn more about Sid, Alex, and Patrick, plus flow through their psychological issues surrounding the past, present, and future   Also, since I was told I should not use too many non-english scripts too much, I had to adjust the story.
