Underneath This Big Ol

I Will Live in You By Luc Had I tears, I would have wept them until there was nothing but tears in the universe. That line sums everything up so perfectly. Luc, this was a masterpiece, created with so few words, yet it spawns so many emotions. I had no idea what was happening at the beginning, other than that it was dialogue between lovers. Had I known what was coming in a mere couple of paragraphs, I might not have been so shaken by it. The scene where his lover finally passes was so surreal, and yet, the moments afterward are what shook me to the core. Sometimes we don

New Happenings in Belize By Miguel Sanchez This continuation of Christmas in Belize takes us on a rollercoaster of adventure, action and even romance. To me, the most important aspect of this story wasn

"Never Mine" By Gabriel Cruz (B1ue) Satar, Khayyam and Mason are back. The trio that captivated us in Gift Of The Ice Queen takes us on another emotional journey.

Game Over, Man By Wrath of Magneto Wow, what an exciting and yet sad reflection of the events leading up to the end of Danny

The Beaten Path by Bardeara Wow, this story really grabbed my attention right from the get go. In the opening scene, Ethan, the protagonist, is painting a picture that would lead one to believe he was incarcerated. As we dig deeper into the story, we learn more about Ethan and his life. One of his big challenges as he begins his tale is homelessness. I get the impression from the description he gives of his corner that he

Beginning of the End By: RKnapp Wow, talk about endings and beginnings! Ryan takes us right into it from almost the opening paragraph in this one. We get a glimpse of how tragic the last decade had been for him, and yet, like the Phoenix that rises from the ashes, the sun came back out and started shining again. Of course, people

The New Job by Altimexis This powerful piece by Altimexis is nothing short of amazing. In The New Job, Altimexis presents us with a man torn apart by his reality, a reality he

VEGAS SUN By Shadowgod Let me just start off by saying this

Another thing you could do is order them all to come and register at GA, then do a book report on a story they found here We could wind up with a whole new batch of Domoholics

I think it's really easy for us to think about what we think we would do, but let's be honest....none of us were there (hopefully). Unless I'm ever actually in a situation where I have a gun pointed at me, I can't be sure what I'd do. I'd like to think that I'd fight back if that was a way to save other lives, but who's to know for sure what to do in a case like that? I don't think anyone that died at Virginia Tech yesterday is a coward. They were all victims of someone else's mental illness and evil disposition. Quite frankly, I'm pretty disgusted by all of the talk on the news about who should of done what differently. There are people (school officials, students, police officers) who will live with this for the rest of their lives. Should we take this as an example and learn from it for next time? Yes. But I don't think it's fair at all to Monday morning quarterback when the truth of the matter is, we don't know for sure what we would have done if it were us.

Our Spring Anthology last year had a Day of Silence Theme. There's some really great stories and a poem posted. Some people might want to take the time to read those tomorrow as a way to observe.

Teachers should just let people do what they want during the period, as long as it's quiet and doesn't disturb those of us who are observing it...... I'll be spending the day in prayer

Exactly, Razor.....you took the words right off of my monitor There are other places she can go work at

Well there are some reports that he was armed with an automatic weapon, so there may not have been a lot they could have done. We don't know all the facts yet.

Yes ....you didn't??

warning....spoiler ahead All I'm going to say is that it's time for Zach to give Gio the boot before he winds up with a raging case of AIDS. This guy can't keep his peter in his pants to save his own life..... literally!!

Ok, so I got a lot of reading and writing done today, and I can honestly say that I'm all caught up I've been a little preocuppied this week with Taylor and his new car. We took it for a spin as soon as he got his license on Friday, then we spent about four hours in his garage polishing the rims with Mothers. Man, talk about a good arm workout :pickaxe: :pickaxe: :pickaxe: To those of you who are wondering, I just sent chapter four of Time In A Bottle off to my editor, the Great Talonrider!!!! and to my beta readers, so as soon as I hear back from all six of them, I should be able to whip it into good enough shape to be posted. I have a little bit of news too....I might be doing some summer missionary work. I wont be leaving the states, but I'll have a chance to work at some church rec centers hold bible studies. I really want to do it, but I have to get the green light from my dad first. My pastor thinks I'd be perfect for it, and I think so too, but I have a couple things I'd have to iron out first.....The main one being if I'd be able to come home and see my parents (corny, I know, but I can't help it) and the other is coming home to see Taylor, since I'd be going without him. One other thing is that this will definitely drain my savings account, since I still have to pay for gas and insurance for my car. I'd get to take it with me, but my dad would have to ride with me to wherever it is I'd be (either Kansas, Missourri or Texas) and then fly home. But this is something I feel like I have to do for myself as much as for anyone I'd be helping out, and I'd also still be able to update my stories and write new ones because I'd take a laptop with me. So anyway, that's about it. Kisses Nick

Ok, so chapter 13 is up...what's new and controversial in the world of the most friendly face we know???

The difference between and public school and a public park is night and day. There would be no reason for an adult who didn't have business there to show up unaccompanied by a child. A park is a different story. What about a couple(gay or straight) having a romantic picnic? Their tax dollars pay for that park to be there, unless it's privately owned, so I still say that the law's unconstitutional.

My opinion....If it's a public park, paid for with public money, for the enjoyment of the public, then the law is unconstitutional on its face.
