  1. Thanks Tiff! I'm sure I will be writing soon. Right now I seem to be more focused on poetry, but prose will come to me. I just need to organize it. As for the French, I actually had to ask a French-speaking person about the meaning of one of the words. The word, conduire, does mean drive. It could also be lead. Translations are rarely, if ever, exact. There are some phrases in Spanish that would sound like dependent clauses if literally translated into English. The same can be said of French. Sentence structure in Romance languages is much different than that of Germanic languages like English.
  2. Hey everyone! I'm pleased to announce my latest collection of poetry called Impressions and Reflections.
  3. Well, I'll likely read both. In the mean time, I'm reading the Do Over series. Dreams of Humanity is next. Then, I'll be caught up and ready to read a new series, whether it's Dreams of a Father or Rich Boy 3.
  4. I'm not sure where it came from, but a while back I saw these words:
  5. That's the aforementioned cult of personality angle. While Charles Manson has culpability for ordering his group to brutally murder multiple people, they are the ones who actually physically took part in the brutal murders. As mentioned before, this makes Charles Manson guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, which has the same penalties as actual murder. In fact, Charles Manson was originally sentenced to death, but it was lowered to life in prison with the possibility of parole due to a California Supreme Court ruling in California versus Anderson. The cult of personality is a powerful phenomenon. There are many examples of cult of personality. At times it can even be argued that a cult of personality exists in United States Presidential Politics. Basically, one person becomes a rock star, and the "rock star" gains a sizable following. The followers are sometimes willing to break the law. The "rock star" sometimes encourages the followers to break the law. In such a case, there can be a shared culpability.
  6. I think I might want some of those if and when I get married
  7. I love that song! Billy Joel "The Piano Man" Buckcherry "Too Drunk to..."
  8. I happen to be a firm believer in making up for misdeeds. I've always been told that it's the right thing to do. Sometimes our own selfishness can cause us to forget what people mean to us. Only through painstaking steps can we repair what has been broken. Even when we take these steps, there may be times when it isn't enough. Words can only do so much. It's so frustrating to watch as people no longer interact with you the way they once did. Maybe I my own personal issues are too much for some to handle. I have to take my recovery day by day. It's never easy to say that you're in a vulnerable state of mind, but I am. Some days I'm happier than others. The sad days do come, and I don't know how long it will take to minimize them. Life has it's ups and downs. Our interactions with others are affected by what we do. Even though I never intended to hurt anyone, it was apparently unavoidable. I suppose I had it coming to me, because I lost my sense of how to interact with people. The pain was so unbearable, and it still is at times. Sometimes I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning, but I know I have to survive for another day. Things will be better. It's only a matter of time. Sometimes it really tests my patience. Maybe the Christians are right for once. It seems the only way to learn patiences is through what they call tribulation. I call it struggle, but the meanings are similar enough.
  9. Led Zeppelin "Whole Lotta Love" Five for Fighting "Superman"
  10. Work Magazine or website?
  11. Rock R & B or Hip Hop?
  12. Bars A major city or the country?
  13. I personally don't write Harry Potter fan fiction, and I don't write explicitly about exact penis size. As for barebacking, some have tried it in real life and enjoy writing about while others are curious about it but have not been in a situation where they could trust someone enough to try it. Still others vehemently oppose the practice. I do happen to agree that there are too many stories where there's a large inheritance and parents willing to let their gay sons have others in their beds. Life is rarely, if ever, that convenient. There are some common themes in stories. There's no denying that. I happen to have some of those elements, but I try to mix things up a bit. I'm not one to write something that doesn't have something unusual. I like to challenge myself. I can't speak for other authors, but I would say that a majority of the hosted, shared hosted, and promising authors like to similarly challenge themselves and to engage the audience with something original or at least something uncommon.
  14. My favourite insect is the butterfly. What is your favourite rock band of all time?
  15. I do write sex scenes. However, I don't feel the need to say whether or not the two individuals are practicing safe sex or not. I like the reader to make the scene his or her own fantasy. That's the beauty of it. There's an openness of interpretation. First of all, I don't even think about the best way to describe putting on a condom without interrupting the flow of the scene. Second, the words would have to be chosen wisely.
  16. I sense some sarcasm.
  17. Graeme, that was what I was essentially trying to say. Also, there are some who are easily manipulated for one reason or another. There's also cults of personality. People like Hitler were able to convince a lot of people to do terrible things. Are those who followed still responsible? Of course they are, but that does not remove the guilt of people like Hitler.
  18. Papa Roach "Last Resort" Kid Rock "Cowboy"
  19. Radiohead "Paranoid Android"
  20. I'm actually a sufferer of insomnia. I usually only sleep 5 or 6 hours a day. I know it isn't good, but it's just reality. It could be some kind of genetic mutation. It's certainly plausible.
  21. Mike, I wouldn't be too sure. I'm going to take a leap and say that there's going to be a death. Who will it be? I have no idea, but I think it's going to happen. We'll have to wait and see, but I would not be surprised at all. I think a bitter-sweet ending is likely.
  22. Happy Birthday, Jamie! I hope you have a really good one.
  23. That was a good chapter. I must say that I am impressed by how well Worthington is performing his new role. I'm ready for the showdown!
  24. My latest one is an animation with a lot of different tigers. It's so cute.
  25. You should chat me up on MSN some time.
