This originally appeared back in 2011. Brought it back for laughs. What can I say. I work hard for my readers.

The Athlete OK. You can stand the competitiveness to get next to those pecs and abs. It's not that he looks like a Greek god chiseled out of marble that turns you on about him. It's that dreamy look in his eye. It takes you a while to figure out that when he gets that dreamy look, he's thinking of somebody else. Mr. Perfect No. He's not a wrestler except in the sack. Mr. Perfect is everything you always wanted... except for the cheating and the clap. The Hipster Like anyone that has ever fed a tom-cat, you gave him sex once and now you own him. Unlike the tom-cat, you can't drop him off at the pound. The Cute Dumb One You can't help but fall in love with the cute dumb one. His vulnerability is so appealing. It takes dating him a while to figure out that he'll be a high maintenance life long project. Trade in on a red neck or a geek. At least they can fix your car/computer. The Buddy It's inevitable. Everybody makes the mistake of sleeping with one of their buddies. Problem is that weirdness factor afterwards. So... do you want to play video games or blow me? You can see how this will get complicated. The Pretty, Pretty EMO Boy This is a mistake of epic proportions. EMO boys are like crack: they are highly addictive and hard to get. They will only find you sexually attractive until you turn 20 and then you immediately become a sad old troll that they are embarrassed to be seen talking to. Sure the sex is amazing but the early troll-hood just ain't worth it. The Geek OK- he's not very sexy or attractive but he'll love you like it is the first time- because for him, it probably is. Sure he tends to be socially awkward and might need coaching to shower and brush his teeth every day but dammit, he's reliable. He can either fix your computer or build you a new one that would make the NSA jealous. The Drunk No. Just no. The Redneck Kid Whether he is from Kansas or Louisiana or Texas, he's polite and has some old fashioned ways but you can always count on him to be true. He can fix your car and shoot burglars between the eyes. He's a keeper. The Horrible Mistake There's no picture for this one. It's not about looks. It all personality and yours and his are like Siamese Fighting Fish. Sure the sex is great if you can manage to not kill each other. Go for it one last time and then GTFO before someone gets hurt.

That's an interesting person to be heading this up. I wonder if he's like so many youth pastors in the united States that offer LOT'S of private counseling to gay youth.

This is really nothing new. Lot's of gay men get married and have kids. You can read all about them on the married men seeking men (MM4M) forum of Craigs list.

Dude- that's awesome. It reminds me of That's large praise coming from me.

I see you there truth seeker. You seek meaning. You fondle these blogs and hope something special falls out. Well here it is. the Oatmeal Explains: God, the Universe and Everything! You are now 11:30 closer to enlightenment. You are welcome.

This reminds me of a cartoon by my buddy the Oatmeal. He won't mind if I snarf it if I include a link. the Oatmeal Piggers! Piggers! PIGGERS!

Back in the 70s there were a whole bunch of drugs that aren't around anymore- Quaaludes, Ts & blues, and reds just for starters. I didn't really want to focus on the drugs. I wanted the story focused on recovery.

Years ago I worked for a hotel in New Orleans that got a lot of business during football season. Very often the visiting team for the Saints games stayed there. I had just finished installing the video surveillance system for the building and I was sticking around a few days to make sure everything was working. New Orleans PD showed up on a Monday and I got called in and asked to play back video from several very specific areas. The cameras all fed into a laser disk system and I could easily pull it all up- time and date stamped. I had no idea what it was about. They just said show up cameras X, Y and Z between 9pm and 2am. Easy. Everything worked like a charm. There was nothing but stairwell, hall and freight elevator all night. I was dismissed after I showed them lot's of nothing and burned them copies for the record. What I found out later was that I had just exonerated a famous NFL player of a rape charge. Whenever I hear stuff like this I take it with a huge grain of salt. Famous people are often targets of all sorts of scams. I honestly don't know about Cosby but I do know that there a whole lot of bullshit involved in these celebrity shake downs.

I'll admit it: I'm a Civilization junkie. Not sure why but I always seem to end up in a battle to the death with the Japanese and the Russians.

The Mustard Jar The Mustard Jar Codeysworld Codeysworld This site is aimed at the younger set but the writing is top drawer. Colinian has some really great stuff there. Stormverse Stormverse A very complex and popular series of stories.

The following is a list of some of my favorite GLBT oriented story sites. I know there are more but these are special in one way or another. If you find a site missing, please add it in a comment. Awesomedude Awesomedude My "home" site and the home of many really good authors I like to hang out with in case some of the magic is transferable. Deweywriter Deweywriter This is the home of Dewey's Brian & Pete Saga and the Eggman's A New Life. Go there. Pack a lunch and plan on camping out. CRVBoy CRVBoy This is the site that I first discovered way back when. It is still very much alive and kicking with an impressive array of authors. DaBeagle DaBeagle This is the home of the incomparable Master Beagle, the creator of the Sanitaria Springs stories. Stories by Driver Stories by Driver This is the home of Driver and his amazing stories. IOMFATS IMOFATS The site is so British that it even has an English accent. It is home for tons of good fiction and authors you just won't find anywhere else.

I am the anti-bully. I won't stand for it. If I see it, I will not ignore it. It's not boys will be boys or kids being kids. Those are excuses for people without the moral courage to say NO MORE. There is nothing wrong with YOU. There is something wrong with THEM.

Some of us know.

Can you imaging an English grammar compiler? Yikes.

where would the fun in that be?

This sounds very similar to a round-robin story I was a part of years ago called Collision.

The Littlest Hero 14% Nightfall 7% Tomorrow I go to sign up for my gradual school classes. Annoying these distractions from writing are. [yes- there are clues in the songs.]

This depends very much on the writer. You can tell the difference between an exercise in imagination and someone who has really been there. The whole emotional tone and dynamic is different. I don't care how good the writer, it is near impossible for someone that hasn't been there to portray the real dread of being around the abuser and what it is like in a long term, day to day setting. Even when they aren't hitting you, your nerves are still on the razor edge. It's like someone pretending to be a cat. They can sound like a cat, move like a cat and act like a cat but no real cat would ever be fooled.

What he said.

You know what bugs me in a story? Mr. Perfect. If I were ever to meet this person, I'd probably kick his ass on general principles. Granted: with some authors, there is some level of wish fulfillment going on but please! I'm not going to dump on any authors- lot's of us do it. See if you've met this asshole: Mr. Perfect as a kid is brilliant and gets all A's. He's the perfect size, with perfect hair, with perfect bod and a perfect schlong. Of course- he get's the perfect boyfriend. He already knows more about sex than the karma sutra. Mr. Perfect as an adult has the looks, the perfect car, the perfect job, is rich as fuck and gives money to feed starving orphans and nuns in Bogustan. Ever meet Mr. Perfect? Of course not. He doesn't exist. If he did he would be insufferable. Real people have problems. Real people live in the real world. Real people struggle, they have problems and issues. And sometimes they rise above themselves and overcome. THAT's WHERE DRAMA COMES FROM. Think about how many stories you read where you encountered Mr. Perfect. Remember any? I doubt it. Mr. Perfect has nothing to teach you. You live in different worlds. Mr. Perfect doesn't worry about money or rejection or abandonment. If someone is dumb enough to leave him, they'll line up to jump in his bed! He's Mr. Perfect! Let's talk about some imperfect characters you did remember. Rory from Dom's Desert Dropping. Wasn't he an annoying little bastard? Dumb as a post to boot. You remember him because he was real and he grew up during the story. Remember Arron from the same story. You remember him because he was flawed. Or Prez from the Eggman's a New Life- you remember him because he was REAL. For a kid from the sticks of Sherman, TX, moving to Malibu, CA really was a New Life! Or Dewey's Bryan and Pete because you wanted them to be as real and courageous as they were. Or Scott and Joey from Driver's Falling Off a Log- they were real because they were who they were. You loved them because they were awkward little kids figuring out life. The moral of this rant is that our characters don't have to be perfect for people to love them. In fact, the charm of many characters lies in their flaws.The ones that we remember are the ones who grow and overcome as we watch. _____________________ From my blog...
