    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

Interesting SF may rename airport after Harvey Milk

http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/15/travel/san-francisco-harvey-milk-airport/index.html?hpt=hp_bn10   Nothing groundbreaking or politically charged, at least for gay guys. It seems interesting that the SF airport may be renamed after one of the first openly gay politician in the US. It's also a good sign for international recognition in small ways that SF is open to all walks of life. (Though Boston is still a good alternative ).   Who knows, maybe Boston Logan Airport will be renamed the Gerry S

Space - The Final Fronteer

So, Space is the last real place that mankind is engaged in real pioneering exploration right. So does the idea of space inspire you enough to want to get involved in this exploration? Does the idea of being involved in the discovery of something new, unique and completely unknown make your juices flow enough to make you excited enough to want to take part in making some amazing discovery?   Meh   That all sounds too expensive, difficult, time consuming, and frankly Mr Yettie, I have no inte

Nature

Nature   Silence disconnected, Wrath unleashed.   Beneath your playful surface, I fear I sense a dead man, who wants to be alive once more; To feel the passion, the anger, the greed and the lust; All that connects one to life. Silence disconnected, Wrath unleashed.   Create a world of meaningful challenges; One, who creates all, hadn’t been true to his soul when he created our world. We need a new world; a world of peace and silence. Silence disconnected, Wrath unleashed. Why create anothe

Who wants a Death Star that costs $850 Quadrillion?

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/01/11/white-house-responds-to-death-star-petition-no/   So who wants to build a Death Star, I mean we might need slave labor and a fleet of star destroyers to guard it, but hey it can blow up planets (We need to get rid of a few dwarf planets anyway, like Pluto )   For contractors, we definitely need a Sith lord, we will offer generous terms like a dimly lit throne room near the power core (Guard rails optional), and if he does a good job, who knows

Longing

Longing It’s raining so hard up here, like someone has opened a floodgate in Heaven. I miss you, my love. I wish we could just be in bed entwined together, me in you and you in me, You are whispering in my ear while I nuzzle into your neck, Without a care in the world… Just you and me.   Why is life so cruel? Why do we have to wait for all the good things in life? Why is that two souls self-realized and revelling in their love, have to wait for mandates of petty governments, while mandates of

So i haven't updated in forever...

Sooooo   I haven't written anything on this blog in a few months.   I had a phrase of like zero writing. I just didn't have time or motivation to write.   I'm going to try to get back into the groove though. I'm putting time aside as often as i can to write.   What's in the works? 'House No. 654: London's Best Little Whorehouse' Pearce takes pen to paper and decides to tell his story. He didn't know how anyone would take it; but it was time for the world to know what happened to hi

Gun Nuttery

I have learned that there is a significant difference in culture between the cities and the country.   In the country, we are raised around guns. We grow up hunting. A great many of us are veterans. Guns aren't an object of fear. They are simply another tool.   Locally there are two serious nuisance pests: wild hogs (wildpiginfo.msstate.edu) and nutria rat (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coypu). Wild hogs are dangerous and cause huge amounts of crop damage and kill and eat everything in the woods. Nu

Greed Will be the Death of Us

I am lucky enough to have grown up in a place where I was able to be close to nature and bare witness to some of the most remarkable animals on our planet.   I consider myself honoured to have been close to elephants, been charged by a rhino, stood eye to eye with a water buffalo, watched a pride of lions devour its kill. I've stroked a cheetah, albeit a baby one. I have listened to the hyena giggling outside our tent in the dead of night.   I've taken pictures of the cutest jackal (i never

Where did it all Begin

So when did you figure out your sexuality either one way or the other?   You know what I got to thinking about it today, and got curious. When was it in my own life that I became aware that gay was the way I was hardwired?   Right so I guess I became sexually aware of what sexuality was all about around 10 or 11. I mean as a kid growing up, the difference between girls and boys was obvious and something I explored a bit as a kid, but it was only when I moved to a special Christian college th

I want this

It's not that I don't want to be with you. It's just that... We met at the wrong time. That's what I keep telling myself anyways. I wish this could be easier. Maybe one day, years from now, we'll meet in a coffee shop in a far away city somwehere & we could give it another shot.

May you live in interesting times

Apparently an old Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times"; well I now in very interesting times thank you very much.     My cousin (Nancy) and her boyfriend (David) split towards the end of November, and a few weeks back I found out that David is now going out with another cousin of mine (Sarah). A very bizarre quirk of fate, as neither of my cousins even knew each other until this happened; Nancy is a cousin on my Mum's side and Sarah is a cousin on my Dad's side.   My Mum's fam

2013 is Making a Reader Out of Me

Well, I've taken some time out from the regular daily grind over Christmas to spend some time focusing on reading that I've been wanting to do for ages.   I also used the break to dedicate some really much needed time to writing, and chapters for my latest adventure continue to take form and roll off the press as it were, something I'm really chuft about, as I've been waiting to get this one of the ground for ages.   I got to do a full rewrite on my anthology entry, which I've been told by

Hammerhead preview

Aramus Depot Irulan 350 System   The Aramus Depot orbited the third planet of the Irulan 350 star system. Like so many Alliance military facilities, it was an abandoned commercial concern. The big space station was originally a refinery and trans-shipment point for the minerals mined in this and the surrounding systems. When the mines were no longer commercially viable, the company had abandoned it. The Alliance Fleet took over the station when the war broke out. Now it was the graveyard of h

i dislike cutting throats to get noticed in this town. step over the next bloody corpse. moving up that line. it feels strange, trying to out-do. but nobody says it   but if it gets me somewhere, it must be okay.   its hard to create something without thinking of the consumer. to appease someone i don't even know. fuck   i think different is secretly accepted. which is good, good for me, good for you, good for us. but i still don't understand why its such a killing field. many a rapist is

What a month [or two]

Lately I've been doing most of my blogging on my website/blog, but since this is geared more toward my friends and acquaintances on GA, I figured I'd put this up here.   Normally holidays are hectic. I'm learning they are more hectic when you have a toddler. This year was particularly bad. First I had to work Christmas day - 'had to' is a relative term. i volunteered to do it this year because my 'turn' was coming around and this is probably the last year 'lil q won't remember the day or und

New Year's Resolutions: To Blab or Not To Blab?

Maybe it's just me...but it seems like New Year's Resolutions are a lot like wishes. They're alike in the sense that whenever you go telling everyone about the New Year's resolution that you've set for yourself for the coming year...that's it, your resolution is now doomed to fail!   What do you think - am I blowing smoke on this one, or is there perhaps some truth to it?   Discuss.   Mike (Who is NOT revealing his New Year's Resolution for 2013 to anyone - just in case. )

Giv'em hell Christie, I can't believe he went all out

Just my two cents in support of Christie's short speech and press conference:   I have to make a political comment on this, because it is so rare and something that needs a round of applause from everyone. It was unapologetic, strong, and aggressively real. Things that the Republican party of the 21st century seems to lack. It also did something I was hoping to see more from Northern Republicans, be blunt about the Hypocrisy of Southern Red States and the federal aid that goes there. I never e

A reflection on 2012 and looking ahead to 2013

2012 is almost done…wow, just a few more hours and a ton more wine. I’m so ready. I think I’ll walk around town with the camera tonight, if it’s not too cold, take some pictures of the drunks staggering out into the snow. What a way to ring in the New Year huh. 2012 was fun for me and full of self-discovery and adventures, conquering fears and discovering new ones. I decided to list my five biggest triumphs of 2012, as well as a list of things I plan to do in the 2013 in the hopes that listing t

Writing more than one story

I rarely use this blog, but I figured this may be a good opportunity to resurrect it, even though it's not Easter. Some of you have been asking me about my Bridgemont series, wondering why I haven't posted a new chapter of Odyssey. Wondering if I've given up on the story.   I haven't given up on Odyssey, I just haven't felt like writing it. That probably sounds pretty strange. I mean, I created the story and the characters, so why wouldn't I want to write about it. What I'm finding is that my
