Charlie Hunnam - I love Sons of Anarchy

I stick to playstation, I have a PS3, on top of it is sitting a PS2, on top of it is a PS1. (no i do not get rid of anything lol) but when i got into gaming, it was with playstation, i like the feel of the controller, i hate trying to use my roomies 360, the controller just doesn't feel the same. I'm not a huge gamer, but I like having a couple games to unwind and something to play when i'm struggling with ideas.

I was so afraid when he took that cap off he'd have cut his hair, good to see it is only dyed back to black. I'm glad they are finally admitting their feelings to one another, it will be awesome to see them actually go on a date and see the relationship progress.

Loved the way this story turned out, glad that the father came to his senses in the end!

Oh holy crap....awesome end to the chapter, and I loved the attempt at blackmail and the way 'the joke' keeps playing out,fooling some, not fooling others. I'm glad to learn some of what Eddie is a big mean person at times, and i can't wait to find out even more about the other joel. Great story!

Will everyone let Kermit Sing CRKAL

Wow, seems like every time i check in you've got another chapter up! I'm loving this story, just loving it, their little joke, so funny, and yet with such harsh consequences between Eddie and his dad, i can't wait to see where you take things from here.

The dialogue is wonderful between them as their friendship develops and I love that the preacher isn't a huge bible thumper at home. As they reveal bits and pieces to one another in conversation, they really develop into beautifully well rounded characters. I'm totally enjoying this story and look forward to more.

Desolation Angels is finished, wow, what a month, I never expected that a short little draft scribbled in my journal while sitting in a little blind squirrel hunting would morph into what it did. I loved every step of the writing process, even the chapters where I knew the characters were going to hurt were exciting pieces to write because I knew that in the end, there would be good things for them. I want to take a moment to thank again everyone who read the story, everyone who ‘liked’ it and everyone who reviewed, because that was the encouragement I needed to put fingers to keyboard each day and get the next chapter done. I have too many starts and not enough finishes, so many notebooks filled with ideas and drafts and outlines but hardly any completed works so to finish “Angels’ was a huge accomplishment for me, one that I’m glad I could share here on GA. This isn’t the end for the Angels though, in fact, I suspect it is just the beginning. I’m sure in time they’ll tour and there will be a story to come out of all their exploits on the road. Ray’s story as well is tumbling around in the back of my mind, and I think Jonathan might have a thing or two to say as well. I guess we’ll all see what time brings. Until then, I hope some of you will check out Guitars and Crossdressers as some members of the ‘Angels’ crew will be filtering through that as well. While Angels went up pretty quick, I don’t expect Guitars to be so easy to write, especially with snow finally on the ground here in my little part of the world, I can get the camera back out and take some more pictures before school kicks off again. I do plan to have Guitars finished by Jan 20th, the day before my next class starts. Its Advanced 2D animation, which means a ton of drawing, which I loath, especially when it’s the same figure over and over but it’s the last 2D class required for my major, thank the gods. I much prefer working in 3D or a photo medium. So glad I found my way to GA, this is a great community to be part of and I look forward to doing a ton of reading, writing and reviewing in the upcoming year. Happy (soon to be) New Years Everyone. Stay safe and have fun.

I like the interaction between Eddie and Danny, and I found myself wondering what turned Eddie into a Bully and how Danny is going to fare when he tries to take the quarterback spot from Joey once school starts. I love the idea about teaching Danny to drive the machines the way Eddie's grandfather taught him, it made a ton of sense and it looked like it worked out well. I look forward to reading more.

YEY, three cheers for UZZY! I'm glad Gabriel got his, at least for now, im sure he'll be back to cause more trouble.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

A goose and a duck are the main course with dressing of course, the vegi will be brocolli and cauliflour in a cheese sauce, then baked mac and cheese and candied yams. for desert I'm making an eggnog cheesecake and a white chocolate cheesecake. My daughter helps with the deserts, my son usually helps with dinner. They'll be wine for the adults and sparkling cider for the kids. My mother comes down the block to join us for dinner, so that makes six at the table.

The squarepusher, wow, that is trippy weird, i had to bookmark that one so I can listen to it a few more times and maybe some more of his stuff too, I think I could find a mood or two to listen to that in.

Wow, hey thanks Chase! Downward Spiral and Fragile are mainstays on my comp, I couldn't write without them. I too wish he'd put out some new stuff. I love Hurt, both his version and Johnny Cash's, man that is an emotional piece of music. I am seriously digging that Amon Tobin piece you linked up, that's going on my playlist for sure, that's got that mellow, drifting feel to it that I could listen to all day. Thanks man, i can't wait to listen to the rest too.

I absolutely can’t work without sound, doesn’t matter if it’s drawing or writing or sewing or cooking, I have to have music playing or I have to sing, no other background sound will do. I’ve tried the TV, but unless I want to put it to the classic rock or alternative music channel, then the TV is useless too and usually it’s on for sports so I can watch the game, (like now- Minnesota’s winning!) but not really have to listen to it. So as I was sitting working on another chapter of Desolation Angel, I thought I’d take a moment (because lord knows I love to distract myself lol) and share the playlist I’ve used for the story since it started, and ask the question of others out there what they listen to when they’re writing or creating, and if the music ends up fitting or influencing the mood, theme or emotion of the piece. Playlist: John Moreland – Earthbound Blues (entire album) John Moreland –Everything the Hard Way (entire album) Elton John – Tiny Dancer Black Label Society – (just about anything and everything) Nine Inch Nails –Something I Can Never Have Shawn Mullins –Soul’s Core (entire album) Danielia Cotton – Let it Ride You and Tequila – Kenny Chesney Even If it Breaks Your heart – Eli Young Band Pink Floyd – Wish you Were here and One the Turning Away (and just about anything else) Emily Browning –Asleep Tom Waits (just about anything and everything) Greg Holden – The Lost Boy Bruce Springsteen (anything and everything) Charlie Parker (anything and everything) Stevie Ray Vaughn (anything and everything) Bob Dylan (anything and everything) The Doors (anything and everything) Neil Young (just about anything) Jimi Hendrix – All Along the Watchtower, Hey Joe, Voodoo Child I'm always open to musical suggestions, i love hearing about and learning or new bands and new music and am pretty open to most types of music, though pop/boy bands have never been my thing. I love Jazz, Country, Gospel, Metal, Rock, Classic Rock, Industrial, Alternative, Blues, some Classical, and just about ANYTHING that is guitar heavy. I don't have a playlist planned for the new story I'll be starting after the first of the years, when 'Angels' is done, so I'm really looking for ideas and suggestions for songs I can really get lost in while i work.

Fun story, I like what i've read so far. All of the characters seemed believable and interacted well, i hope you'll add more to this.

I am so curious as to where this is going to go. Dee seems like an honest, moral person and Sys, comes across as very curious and lovely and vulnerable. I want to learn more of both of their stories and see how they end up interacting with one another. I will def be following this story.
