  1. Looks good Greame... I nominate you to take over the lead author position... Only one problem though, Steve's shirt would have already been off.

    Shoe Whore?

    I was talking to Viv the other night and I came out, sorta. For years I have been maligned by my sisters and labeled with the title of shoe whore. I may still be in denial honestly. I only have around Ten or so pairs of shoes. So yeah the average guy probably only has like four. Does that really qualify me as being a shoe whore? Couldn't I just be above average in that respect, or just happily over achieving? It's not like I have a room dedicated to foot ware, whats a couple of pairs of work boots a mix of skate shoes and a pair of dress shoes between feet? And heres a big question, do you categorize flip-flops as shoes are just misc foot ware? In other news, I have a job, wish I hadn't I got an email from my boss the other day saying how it was time to start dishing out raises to all the lazy employees. (alright they aren't lazy I'm just being jealous you'll see why in just a second.) SO, I was like "cool" raises, and I'm reading through and no shit if the last paragraph doesn't read in verbatim "I'd like to get a better Handle on your and Angela's Job, that way i can better evaluate you for a raise." Translation: Sorry idiot, your not getting a raise this time either. So I got all pissed off, and pretty much stayed that way all day Monday. Sure I know I'm being kind of selfish here but damn All the employees under me have received raises multiple times since the last time I got a pay hike. Which was a year and half ago! Matter of fact I'm making less now then I did then. From on High has decreed that I cost to much at time and a half, SO no overtime. Right, a manager with no overtime, Basically I work 8-10 hours a week for free. They also cut my commission on sales and took away my health coverage. Suddenly becoming a student again isn't looking so bad. Matter of fact the only bad thing about it is figuring out what I'd want to do with the rest of my life. Alright, So I guess I'm done ranting for now. I'll catch y'all on the flip side Steve
  3. I could start in with the poor misunderstood Eric, I mean Richard. But thats been done in another thread ...
  4. Right... I'm not the guy who has a person or persons stalking around the exterior of one of my Characters apartments. Seriously For the Love is making me long for the days of bad grammer and copious amounts of uncensored scene's. I love it!
  5. By Greame... I think you may be onto something!
  6. See he soo left out the tagline... Chris and Steve join hands one last time as the Charger passesthree hundred miles an hour in its mortal decent to the canyon floor. Pulling his vision away from the rapidly approaching earth, Chris maneges to whisper just before neither of them can hear a noise again. "For the love..." Steve
  7. Catherine? Buckle under pressure? Shes not a great politcal stratigest if a little bump in the road to state assembly would cuase her the campiegn... Then again if she was any good at her job she wouldn't be wasting her time on a piddily state assembly race... Im surprised no one has mentioned Richard in all this, so I guess it true the futher away you are from the action the cleaner your hands are. And I still don't get two points for the name? then what about 2 for the story? I'm flexible, work with me.
  8. I hate to make inaapropriate comments (no, really I do....) but to this comment I can only say... Yet.
  9. Surely I should at least get 2 for the name alone... Us Steve's have to stick together... As for the cliffhanger... and Bondwriters astute observation of such. I whole-heartedly agree! I do take note that this is an unofficial score. I could also mention that certain anonymous beta reader may be willing to accept bribes...
  10. you know what the say.... good for the goat... Yeah so I may have skewed it a little.
  11. Visitations?!? I thought you said this story takes place in Arizona and not Nevada or New Mexico... Now your gonna throw the E.T. element in? Honestly....
  12. **sniff** I smell sulfur... **sniff** no wait, nevermind it was just roasting goat.... I like Bondwriters option number 3, specifically for the whole circle of life thing. If it happens that way though I have fears of natures wittle birdies dying of indigestion...
  13. Why is it I only ever see my spelling goofs when I read them quoted in others posts?!? Scholled... honestly, schooled... thats better. Who woulda thunk I acctually write as a pass time?? Very true a broke down Volvo would consume far less gas then a working "cycle" or "bike" or "yamaha" or even "YZF-R6S" see I can use plenty of descriptors other then the word motorcycle so... better luck next time.
  14. I have noticed this a handfull of times in the past, most recently with the latest Chapter of Living in Surreality which I just posted on thursday, that I have gotten the most postive feedback when I finished a chapter I struggled with. Does this happen with anyone else out there in author land? Or, am I just reading more into the feedback then is there over my struggle with the chapter? I'm interested in hearing everyones thoughts on this so don't be shy... Steve
  15. I GOOFED!!!!!!! Colin caught it, so he is this week's favorite California has two seperate University systems. California State Universities, and University of California. I didn't do my reserch very well as I assumed, judging by Berkley's logo of a stylized Cal, that Berkley was a Cal State school. I was wrong and Colin schooled me on the fact that it is acctually University of California Berkley. Of course he knew this cause he is a future alumnist... Congrats on that Colin!!! The chapter has since be ammended, what was once Cal State Berkley lettehead has mysteriously changes to U.C. Berkley letterhead. Now about that motorcycle, Have you all been to a gas station lately?? Do you realize gas now costs in excess of $3.00 a gallon? Not to mention the congestion of Southern California traffic... I think the cycle was a wise direction to go in! research on a 72 volvo aside, would you rather Jacob spend $40 on filling the volvo or $15 filling the bike? and lets not even go into gas mileage... Cliffhanger?? what cliffhanger? The chapter ended with a phone call, surely a phone call couldn't be that interesting. Its not like its Dan calling telling him there is a 72 volvo that needs to be toredown and rebuilt... Steve, whats wrong with 13? it was a good number... there was chapter 13 after all, and if the rate keeps going as it is there will be a 26. I'm debating wheter or not to make it as controversial as its half.
  16. What if it were an interesting person to watch? Then again no one is that interesting. I wonder if he has gotten laid in the last 12 days that the feed has been live...
  17. It was a battle, I pushed the chapter, the chapter pushed back. Many a night was spent staring at my screen, willing the scenes to come. I screamed in agony as my Muse fled into the arms of a Jack Daniele's bottle and the inky black night beyond. I was beaten. But I struggled to overcome and finish what I had started without taking a butter knife and running it several times across the little section of my hard drive where Word lives. and now... I bring you, My TRIUMPH! (ok a tad over dramatic I'm guessing... ) Chapter 20 Enjoy! and send me a email or something... Steve
  18. I only feel sympathy for the hapless cayotes that dirty lil' Sh*** encounters as he wanders through the desert. RUN EARTH PUPPIES! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  19. DONE finally!!!!!!!!!!!! now off to beta reading editor and zeta reading... then eFiction! I'll let everyone know when its been posted.
  20. OK blood and gunshots aside.... Blackheart ?? honestly what kind of chap uses the name Blackheart? I find this story no longer credible now back to fighting with a chapter (notice the black eye? yes the chapter is winning)
  21. /insert big bold flashing dancers here/ ok that didnt come out right... at any rate... HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope its gone great as I think I missed the majority of it Steve
  22. Hrmm some very good points there CJ, then again, people could go on living their lives unaware of the plots that seek to destroy them. There are several historical referances to this, one only has to look at the emporers of rome to get a starting point. WHo knows, maybe this will cuase Richards political aspirations to come crumbling down like the house of cards it is, of course the oppisite may be true.
  23. pot kettle black hrmm maybe there were several open ended happenings going on in XIX ( @ CJ ) I didn't realize they were so numourous untill CJ took the time to catagorize and cross referance them. Perhaps one or a few of them are a ubiquitous red hearring. then again the world may just go and blow up around them, college being but a season away... Yo Ethan! Welcome to the thread and thanks for leaving LiS a review. feel free to harass the wildlife (goats) I do all the time Steve
