« Previous EntriesThe Allure of the Tattoo
Some tattoos are worn to symbolize the individual, some to boast, label, or revere individual characteristics, circumstances, or people in the person’s life. And I’d venture (though not speaking with expertise on the subject) some are even used by gangs.
But what is the allure? What do we find so intriguing about a faded anchor, entwined [...]
Boys and Their Guns
Writing has been an interesting endeavor. Surprisingly, one of the things I’ve noticed is that it’s more of a family affair of late. Sugar Daddy’s constantly throwing his two cents into my stories, with his “How ’bout this one?” And the boys are forever questioning, “What’s this one gonna be about?” and “Can we read [...]
When Life Gets in the Way…
I wanted to touch on a subject that, as writers, affects us all.
LIFE.
First, as humans, we often are compelled to do what we like. That’s our prerogative. As writers though, our preferences usually border on obssession. As “published” authors, with the deadlines, the promoting, and the required socializing, all of the above merges together into [...]

Pride Month Schedule
Busy to slightly insane, with the possibility of sudden bursts of bewilderment…
Yes, and this is the upside of the forecast. When once Summertime meant, I pitched a tent in the mountains, lounged along the bank–pole cast, or spent a lazy, BBQ filled afternoon with friends and family, I now work…to be a child again.
So much [...]

Enlightenment Lane 3
My third trip along Enlightenment Lane, I discovered open mindedness was not for the weak of will.
The next four years of my young life were a blur. First, I was busted making out in my closet with a girl from the neighborhood then, a younger boy, on down the line to an older boy [...]
Divisiveness of Labels
I’m not comfortable with labels, never have been. Although others tell me that I fit somewhere within the GLBTQTQI… spectrum, where exactly, they find hard to define. To me, sexual identity, sexual preference, gender, who to love, how to relate, what, where, when, how…why, etc, etc…while all aspects of how we define ourselves, have little [...]
Rick Reed from the Heart
Nothing is more touching than real stories from real people. People, like myself and I’m sure,
many of you, who have “been there, done that, and sadly, got the t-shirt” whether we wanted
it or not.
Horror writer Rick R. Reed said it best in his Myspace blog today. With his permission, I am reposting his enlightening piece. [...]

Enlightenment Lane: Trip #2
On my second trip down Enlightenment Lane, I discovered open mindedness is not for the weak of stomach.
Despite family, I held a special relationship with one male relative during my elementary years. For the sake of this beautiful man and his family today, my relationship to him will remain unspoken, and all [...]
