  1. You also forgot "Raise the Titanic", every kids fantasy of raising a sunken ship. Oh by the way there is a story about someone who built a submarine in NY as to salvage a sunken ocean liner in the 50s or 60s off the coast of new England. Yeah I sort of love submarine and ship stories but then again blame Star Trek for that. Its something when you hear the word ship or boat that you wish to explore its meaning and its adventures.
  2. Don't know the CSU story any links
  3. Wow, Zombie and Jamessavik ... that something I never knew .... Zombie I only knew a small sense of the story ... not the camp but a love between gay jew n gay nazi ... before the war turn on their love ... I have heard about being gay within the ranks of the Nazi ... but very little do I really know
  4. I don't recall seeing a topic of this sort in the forums. So I thought we should start one. I like to explore here what it was like to be gay in the various parts of history. Our history books pretty much eliminates how gays participated in history. I wonder how many people think we started in the 1980s? So here's one to start it off. I wish each of us to share what kind of participation in history took place. To help shape how we all took part in shaping our lives of today. Oscar Wilde I saw the movie about him played by Stephen Fry. It was very interesting to see how unspoken and being gay in the UK was like how the upper class viewed it. They just tolerated and never spoke about it. Wilde was always interested in the young college men.He had many affairs. Apparently, Queensberry found out and then the troubles for Wilde began. Thus he was outed and it got Wilde arrested and charge for being a sodomite who preys upon the naive young college men. Two years hard labor broke Wilde. He never regain his health back. The movie illustrated a love affair he had with Douglas. Wilde honored the arrangement of exile and then he left the UK to live in Naples. He was reunited with Douglas. They lived a happy life up until the families threaten to cut off their funds. They separated and later on Wilder died. - - - - - In contrast of today, I don't think something like this would have been so much trouble. It depends upon a case by case basis. But today we would not be put to two years hard labor. Perhaps its the change in legal consenting age when your legally an adult and can earn your own living. Back then the issue was money ... living on the family money and their say in your life. If you you still depend on it then they can still have a say on what you do with your life. Hence that happen in Wilde and Douglas case. The secret was out again. - - - - - I think there are more stories out there in history we don't discuss as much as we should. Its important to learn how it shaped our lives of today. I really like to see and learn the real truth that the history books doesn't allow us to know about. Like during the wars ie: WW2 and other kinds of stories ... perhaps in the wild west ... ancient times ... etc Its like getting to know our roots in history.
  5. Titanic 3D is coming out in Apr 2012 ... you can have more fun seeing what its like in 3D ... I never been to a 3D Cameron movie ... I saw Captain EO 3D - MJ could have made a TV series for kids out of that. It was so good to see a bit of his acting skills. Soon there will be Titanic 3D trailers like how does one watch that on a 2D screen lol. Oh there is an episode of Curiosity that explore more in detail of how the ship actually sank.
  6. I saw this episode of two brothers backpacking in europe. One is normal size and the other is a dwarf. It was really interesting to see how life is through their adventure. Food they tried and people they met. The traditions they tried. I think they have irish roots. they tried wearing the kilt and the tradition to freeball. lol It really is something to try the strange things that you don't normally experience. But as brothers, its great to share the experience together.
  7. Yeah they did say the survivors and families of the disaster are invited to come. They are only allowing 1309 passengers on the ship to simulate the same numbers as the disaster. Travel the same route and make the same stops. So many people can feel what it was like to be on the titanic. Perhaps the same food and the music and ambiance will also be part of the celebration. I wonder of they will have some actors to play the parts of the key opulent ppl that were on board. Give the people the feelings of the three classes. So I wonder who gets the be treated like third class citizens and realize that most of the deaths are from this class. I don't think they will do the lifeboat thing. Perhaps they should to further give the feeling of that day. But then I don't think the ship is design to take the boats back on. I am not sure that the ship leaving NY to UK will simulate being the carpethia.
  8. Supposedly some therapist expect you to learn on your own about yourself while on meds ... but soon they take you off it after a while. Some ppl are on it for long periods of times and sometimes their meds are rotated to prevent dependency. Some argue that they need to live on the meds in order to function. I guess just like me ... we need someone that fills the empty part of what causes us to fail to have a functional life Some of us - people say we don't give up this way of thinking - its not easy - but this saying becomes unfair when they have someone in their life and we don't Perhaps - if we have a more successful life - then perhaps our depression becomes less - but when we're not living life - our frailties attacks us
  9. There's * TITANIC 3D 2012 * 100th Anniversary Cruize - only 1309 passengers will be allowed Titanic Universe - titanic-100-year-anniversary-cruise-to-set-sail-in-2012 There is a comparison of the two ships ... lol Will it be a safe voyage?? Who will be the next Jack Dawson and Rose of this voyage? Will it be Shakespearean romanticism? I hear there will be two ships one from uk going to the usa and one from the usa going to the uk. Any one celebrating this one time event? Cameron wants to make a couple hundred million on the re-release.

    Story

    Thank you, so much. There is a sequel in two aspects. One in short Stories is Social Bubble with an additional Ending (inspired by feed back). Two, the 2010 Spring anthology "Behind the Curtain" gave the feeling for a potential novel. So I wrote "The Story of Pierre and Leo" which just released this month. I hope you will enjoy them. I fell in love with the lives of the characters that evolved from the short story your just read.

    Chapter 1

    Hehe, not many are brave to be out in glory with flags a waving!! I hope you write more ... you should cut n paste your wolf story into a story here rather than it gets lost in the forum threads.
  15. My aunt says she can tell if someone is gay or not. She reason that she has 35 years experience in the bar business. Well I love to tell her get her gaydar fixed. My roommate in college could not tell I was gay during the four years. We came out to each other almost ten years later. LOL, he got the surprise more than I did.
  16. so they don't have college for wizards?? go for his BS in Wiz, MS in Spells, PHD in whoMustNot be mentioned
  17. hehe i though this was a new story lol ... not to compete with twilight
  18. didn't know that but hey her story made it to the movies ... how lucky can one get as an author?
  19. Imagine living in a world where your Asian and your a minority ... like 0.0023% of the school ... then add strict parents who are homophobic ... a father thats so hard to get a long with ... then add the bullies who go after minorities ... then add being gay .... it brings some perspective that not all places are gay friendly ... and it does take luck to find those pocket places to stay where its safe. not many are fortunate
  20. I have tears for many moments in life or watching the movies ... its human to notice life that most people would take for granted
  21. Yaa I keep a fan running so I has air to breath ... decongenstion helps too when zertec or claritin not helping

  23. think of all of the eye candy shirtless guys ... and hope their all gay lol think of the untapped chip n dales market!! for teens and grandmas!!
  24. Ok it was a poor joke to say to find his boyfriend for him ... while he its a know characteristic he won't break up ... its a question will he change ... he might but he has other habits or issues too that can reintroduce the habit of cheating For your experience, your fortunate its in the early dating phase I presume since you still call it dating ... that the within the two year ... but we're seven years the experiences is more than just the cheating ... but we will see how the news fits with the center of his family when or if it gets there its a different social structure than here in the states
  25. that's provided they want to change ... but if they don't change they either have mental disorder or a winning formula or a habit the issue with Steve ... he wasn't the one to admit he has a problem or a habit can he still stay this way he is ... that's his behavior he has to deal with well that's the test of our new common activity ... its up to him about it
