Don't worry mate. I'm enough trouble for six people.

I've met a few friendly athletic gay Hispanics... much to my delight.

I'll eat the chicken samich but the waffle fries... fogetaboutit.

I would prefer to slap him on the wrist than to make an enemy of him forever.

The film is called the Mudge Boy (http://en.wikipedia....i/The_Mudge_Boy). It's a highly rated G&L film. It's all very literary and boring and filled with stereotypical characters that you will instantly recognize: the hapless gay youth, the father that doesn't understand, the bullies, the unrequited love... It's the sort of film the critics love. I hate it! Oh my God is it ever a stinker. Why do you ask? The writing. This 4 star piece of crap takes all the negative stereotypes about gay people that it can find, wraps them in literary hash and puts them on film. The gay kid is my #1 problem. Of course with a name like "Mudge", start the protagonist with a serious depression and an inferiority complex. He is written to be a mental case, not necessarily gay. His mother died in the back story of the film so naturally he befriends a chicken. When the chicken becomes upset he puts the chickens head in his mouth to calm it down. Of course the god damned chicken calms down! It thinks you are about to eat it you fucking idiot! When he is not molesting farm animals, he is wearing his deceased mothers clothes. OK just fucking stop! WHAT THE suffering, stuttering FUCK!? That's not gay. That's a serious mental disorder. Start a club against it. I'll join. Just say no cross-dressing chicken fellatio! No wonder people join the Family Research Council and the American Family Association. They watched this film and think we're mental. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!! I am not looking for G&L films to be p0rn or propaganda but this one is not labeled right. It's not a gay coming of age story: it's a disturbed little fuck's coming of age story. Authors! Don't do this to your characters! Unless of course, you are writing about crazy people. Granted- growing up gay in a lot of places can make you pretty crazy. I'm living proof of that. But crazy enough to perform fellatio on a chicken head? I DON'T THINK SO! Characters need their flaws, their weaknesses and faults but don't go overboard. It is very easy to go from a sympathetic character to a flawed character to a character that readers respond to with revulsion. The difference can be measured in millimeters.

I like being lazy and shiftless too much.

I guess it all depends on what you call an oldie.

I'm afraid all the time. About what might happen if I just let go. If I embrace the chaos and the fire that's inside me. It's would be so easy let go, explode and destroy. Pure unfocused rage that burns through everything like thermite. The Vikings had legends of berserkers: warriors who were so high on their own adrenalin that they fought beyond the point of death. That blood is in my veins and twice I have been in that state. It is liberating; like being a super-hero. Your speed and strength is many times what it usually is. You are moving so fast you are a blur but everything seems to move in slow motion. There is no pain. Blows may land and blades may bite but you don't feel them. You are at one with an elemental force. Channeled chaos: red and hot and raw. That's what lies beneath and why I must never lose control. If I do, there will be no turning back.

< this thread makes me want to hork

Insomnia Insomnia haunts me and taunts me, Mind racing and chasing details of the day. Plans of tomorrow, no time to borrow, Always behind as time grinds, Past and future together in the breathless present. I am so lost, I don't know the cost, Of the things that I've been or the things that I've seen, In the night they are burning bright, Restless azure darkness impaled, By the fires that rend the eternal night. There is no peace when the wars never cease, even though its been over for decades. I close my eyes and I am there, Once again in the fire of pain and desire, The unending battles still rage. Beware my friend not to live too long, And see entirely too much shit, Because in the night, it will never feel right, And it can be a hell to live with it.

I love google earth. I remember when would get shot for knowing the name of Novaya Zemlya or having a map of the place. Or Vozrozhdeniya island or Star City or Balaklava or Arcangel or Semipalatinsk or Vladivostok...

It's back... right here at GA! Chapter 11 Chance

Saratoga Labs The Physical Sciences Labs were located forward above the launch tubes with access to the probe bay and near the forward and lateral sensor equipment bays. A deck below the labs were several large storage rooms filled with spare parts and heavy equipment in crates. Danny was astonished by the space and equipment that were set aside for the Science Section. He had at his disposal well-stocked labs for physical and chemical analysis. There were mass spectrometers, gas

Saratoga Flag Bridge Lt. Commander Rankin looked at his instruments and said, “According to the NavCom beacons, we’re right where we’re supposed to be- 30 light days out from the Dahlgren 63 system.” Lt. Taggert read the status board and reported, “All ships accounted for. Jump successful.” A cheer erupted in plot. After all the preparation, training and waiting, they were finally on their way. Keller said, “Congratulations ladies and gentlemen. We just made history. Ou

Meanwhile in arctic Russia.... < oink-ski?

What does it say? It came from Novaya Zemlya in the Kara Sea.

There are a number of reasons. Writers skills change as they do more. They might like a story that they wrote a few years ago but want to clean it up or improve it. Now- with electronic publishing, more stuff is getting published. A rewrite may be in order to give paying customers a better/expanded/improved version of a story that they can find online. Another reason to revisit old stories is that you may want to write sequels or even prequels. If this wasn't planned from the beginning, structural changes may be necessary to assure continuity.
