New Additions to My Library

On Writing Horror by Mort Castle ISBN 978-1-58297-420-0 reading   I'm not sure if I buy everything in it, there are some interesting tips for writers interested in trying the waters.     Feed by Mira Grant ISBN 978-0-316-08105-4   Set 25 years after a zombie apocalypse was unleashed by some well meaning but dip-shit scientists, the world is much the same as it always was.

Why do so many people live in Houston?

I just checked. The heat index there is 115 F compared to 96 F here. It blows my mind. It has to feel like a constant steam room in the summer. I think I'd develop a freaking migraine disorder if I tried to live there. It's actually a beautiful city, but summers there are horrible. So how do so many people stand living in the largest city in Texas when the heat and humidity is that horrible?

Support the anti-IBLD movement!

Apparently, the boy love community has a holiday about the support of consensual sexual relations between men and boys. I find it shameful and appalling, but there's something that can be done. Stand up against these monsters who promote child abuse. In support of anti-IBLD light a white candle! The day is tomorrow in the US, and already today in some parts of the world. Just to clarify, IBLD is 6-26-10. Light your white candles in protest of these sick bastards who promote molesting children! T

been thinking about my uncle a lot...Miss him a lot.

Hey,   I never updated about my uncle's death because I had a hard time believing this new. Often a lot of time, I have been thinking about my uncle. His death was all sudden and unexpected. My uncle passed away in December last year. June 12th was the most difficult one because it was 6 months and it was on Saturday, which was the exactly same day on Dec 12th last year that my uncle left this world. It's hard to believe that it's been 6 months since he left. Heart attack really sucks a l

New Blog Launch

On in your facebook I did something that I called My Cool Old Video of the day. Every day I posted links to classic rock songs on YouTube. It was very popular. I've decided to move that service to a free standing blog.   You remember music videos don't you? They are what MTV used to play before they went to their all bullshit, all of the time format.   YouTube has a fantastic treasure of videos- some good, some bad and some amazing- it just takes a little sorting to find the really good stuf

First Father's Day Without Dad

I lost my father last September. This is my first father's day without him and its a very weird feeling.   Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, you spot the shark-fin of unresolved feelings.   Toward the end of his life my father was profoundly disabled. He was partially paralyzed on his left side and could only walk short distances. It was difficult to see age and failing health strike a man who had always been so physical.   His favorite Father's Day meal was at O

Being a dumbass

You know, I usually have a pretty good idea what the consequences to given actions will be. Recently, someone said he or she was going to do something. The act was something I knew would get the person in trouble, but he or she did it anyway. Then the person turned around and expected sympathy from me after being a complete f**king moron. When I didn't give this person sympathy, he/she got pissed off at me. I told the person off. I wasted my own f**king time warning this person, and my words wer

Funny Places

Finally

The truck driving refresher course I'll be attending begins 6/28. That'll be 17 days in sunny Mira Loma, CA. Then it's out on the road for 90 days before I'll be eligible to get my own truck.   It's been a long, long time, but it feels good to be going back.   I've stopped taking the mood stabilizer since I ran out and couln't afford to get them refilled. Actually, I feel a lot better for not having them. I am going back on the antidepressant as soon as I get some money, which should be tomo

Charles. Not Charlie. Not Chuck. Charles. My Charles. Mon Charles. (Pt. 2)

(Pre-caution again. Nonsense and Babble.)   So I was talking about the hug. Urgh, I already miss it.   So the other day I was making playlists in my iTunes and decided to make a "Charles era songs". Altogether, until now, I've found 23 songs to fit in the playlist. Cried to several of them. Some of them was produced by Charles. Overall, songs that have special meaning to the friendship/one-sided love.   And this song was almost like the theme song of the era, call The Dance.   Looking ba

The 2011 Mustang

As I indicated in a Status Update, on June 14th I traded in my 2007 Mustang for a 2011 Mustang.   Since I've been driving, this is my fourth Mustang. I've had a 1965 Mustang and a 1972 Mach 1.   The new one is Kona Blue Metallic.     A couple of things I found out about it today that I didn't know. When I use the turn signals, the rear lights blink in the sequence of inside segment, middle, outside, then repeat until the turn is made.   The other thing I learned is, it has motion sens

Virtual life and real expectations

I'm being slightly unfaithful to GA. Or rather, I'm broadening my rainbow horizon beyond GA. Just to recap, GA was the first gay site that I started to visit regularly a few months ago. Various messages on the boards prompted me to come out to a few friends and family members, but I'm still mostly in the closet.   Things are moving along though... in my mind, at least, and I'm growing incredibly impatient about meeting someone. It might seem strange, since it took me months to figure out wha

Charles. Selrahc. Prince. Lee. Sicong. And all the good names in the world. (Pt. 1)

(Pre-caution: I'm bound to talk randomly and babble stuff that perhaps doesn't make sense.)   So I'm in love with a straight guy. Again. With the same person. Pathetic.   Pathetic is I. My Charles is everything I could have wanted. (And he just called me right now.)   I guess I've never really stopped loving him from the first time. Just the feeling has become an element flowing in the blood. You'd always know it's there. And only would appear when stirred.   And I was stirred.   The

IUP, Here I come!

I FINALLY decided on where I'm going, and that's Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I realized the only reason why I was considering Millersville was because it's only an hour away and I could take my car, and other than that, Millersville doesn't really offer a whole lot. Like it doesn't have graduate housing, and it doesn't offer a wide variety of classes. I'm a bit wary about the fact that it's 5 hours away from home, and I likely can't bring my car as my 1999 beater couldn't handle a 300 mi

Going on an Adventure Tomorrow

I'm going to the coast tomorrow to do some research.   The little town of Kreole, MS is just west of the Alabama line. It sits along Highway 90 and is close to hundreds of square miles of salt marshes, bayous and wetlands.   Kreole plays a key part in one of my upcoming books- call it on the scene research. I'll be taking photographs, talking to locals, walking around and will be taking roads off into the bayous and wetlands.   If you want to see where I'm going search for Kreole, Mississ

This could me good

One thing about not having any money is I can't buy all the prescriptions I supposed to be taking.   No, I am not going to suddenly die.   But, I am finding out that maybe it's time for me to get off the Welbutrin crutch. I should be really, really depressed right now, but I'm not. In fact, I don't feel any different now than when I was taking that shit. Sooooo, maybe I don't need it.   Of course, not taking Welbutrin has to be combined with not taking Depakote, which will be running out i

My SyFried Network Rant

God knows I love Science Fiction. I really do. I read the masters like Asimov, Clark, Gerrold, Heinlein and Herbert. I've got all the Star Wars, Star Trek movies and Babylon 5, Battlestar episodes on DVD. I've even tried writing some Science Fiction, not that I'm GREAT at it.   I have seen science fiction as a force for good. It gets kids and adults excited about science and willing to learn. Millions of people pursued science and technology after being inspired by a short lived science fictio

Dirty Poll #3

Since Mark Arbour loves fisting so much...   Have you ever tried fisting? Would you try it? Would you do it again if you have?   My answers-   1st question: No, and I don't intend to try it.   2nd question: No, and I don't intend to try it.   I know. I'm closed minded on this one. I apologize to anyone who thinks that I'm into it. I'm really not.
