2010
Posted 14 years agoI scored my first kiss and beautiful girlfriend this past year, and came to terms with myself in many aspects of my life. Regrets? Nada.
Only 23 more months before everyone starts freaking out about the whole 2012 thing. It can't come fast enough.
Have a merry 2011, peeps.

*Random holiday tune*
Posted 15 years agoJust wanted to add my best holiday wishes to the barrage that are already floating around. So without further ado...
Happy Chrismahanuramakwanzika! :D
Happy Chrismahanuramakwanzika! :D
Would calling this a victory be too...something?
Posted 15 years agoFor those who don't know, the damn "Don't ask, don't tell" debate finally ended on Saturday with the retraction of the policy. Gays can now openly serve in the military. It's taken enough time for this to happen. People are all worried about "unit cohesion" and all that stuff. Unless the soldiers are either a) hyper-homophobic or b) super-gay and hitting on everyone, I don't think that there is a problem at all.
This sentence pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter:
"I don't care who you love. If you love this country enough to risk your life for it, you shouldn't have to hide who you are." - Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat from Oregon.
This country still has a long way to go, what with the religious right still kicking and screaming as they protest this change. The LGBT community doesn't want to undermine marriage or destroy the human race. We just want to be treated as everyone else is. For the young generation like myself, the one that's in high school and is the target of the "It Gets Better" project, this just reinforcing the message - things are getting better.
I'm ranting. I'll shut up now.

Posted 15 years agoFor those of you (there are a few) who are stalking my stuff, just a heads up: I've got a poem set for release near Christmas and a story that'll really make you think about the New Year. Other than working on my novel, I'm gonna start plucking away at a series of short stories.
So yeah.
So yeah.

Posted 15 years agoTen Day Meme: Day 9+10
Posted 15 years agoDay Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.
Day Ten: One confession
:( - I have a lot of sorrows in my life. Drama in my love and family life. Grades could be better. But it's mostly myselt - I worry about every little detail, and that makes me sad just as much as it irritates the heck out of me.
:) - I have just as much happiness. A beautiful girlfriend, great pals, and a great community of creative people that I really feel like I can be a great part of. I love you all. <3
My confession is that I am a bit of a misanthropist. For those who don't know that fancy terminology, it means I don't like the human race all that much. I'm really tired of people fighting to the death over petty things like religion and race. I believe that violence can have justification, but only in extreme circumstances, such as when world peace is threatened. Now, I do enjoy violent movies and games, so maybe I'm being a bit of a hypocrite, but I do hold that those are just mere fantasy. Basically in a nutshell, I like nice people and detest hateful people. Luckily there's more of the former in the world.

See previous day for rant.
3. Be dominant/submissive - Being able to be completely submissive one second then suddenly get aggresive. Oh man... *shudders*
2. Whispering in my ear in a foreign language - I dunno what it is about this, but it freakin works.
1. Being adorable - if I already like you, just being who you are is more than enought to get me in the mood.

Day Ten: One confession
This one's gonna be a little interesting, as I have very little sexual experience. I'm sixteen for crap's sake. However, through the little experience that I have, I do know that the following just kill the mood for me.
4. Queens - I like them, don't get me wrong, I think femme guys are barrels of fun, but personally I believe that being male means being masculine. A little feminity every once in a while is fine, but overdoing it is just too much.
3. Weird fetishes - bondage, vore, and similar fetishes just plain creep me out.
2. Letting your mind wander - This one is kind of a gimme. I mean, if you're getting into it, the very least you should expect is that you make eye contact with your partner at least a few times.
1. Arrogance - you can be the hottest guy or gal I've ever laid eyes on, but if you're a douche, I'd honestly rather punch you instead of having sex with you.

Posted 15 years agoNational Novel Writing Month for those who don't know.
I'm gonna attempt to write down a story that's been bouncing around my head for a good, oh, two years now. Only bad part of all this is that my short projects won't get much love for the next month. Ah well.
Wish me luck.

One Bloody Retrospective
Posted 15 years agoWith the (hopeful) conclusion of the Saw franchise this past week, I do believe it's time for a retrospective of one of the best modern horror franchises, and the five great things that made it good.
5. Gore - Sure, haters may say that all the traps are just the writers thinking, "Okay, how do we one-up a kill from the last movie?" but there's no substitute for a good dosage of blood flying everywhere.
4. The Victims - Douchebags all, you want these people to die - preferrably in the aforementioned spectacles of viscera.
3. The Haters - People who hate the series crack me up. They constantly complain that the movies have no plot. That's the point of a good horror movie - to have just enough plot to move the story but not enough to detract from the on-screen mayhem.
2. Jigsaw - Tobin Bell portrays a delightfully twisted and evil man driven to the brink, but desperate to save people in his own twisted way. If you can appreciate that, then Jigsaw definitely belongs with Freddy and Jason in the annals of horror history.
1. "Hello Zepp" - this little three minute composition makes the franchise. Whenever you heard that telltale piano riff, you know shit is about to hit the fan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhSHXGM7kgE
My dad grew up with Friday and Nightmare on Elm Street. I grew up with Saw, and they'll be the films I keep coming back to for a good scare.

You're kidding me, right?
Posted 15 years agoSeen on a bumper sticker: "10 out of 10 terrorists prefer Obama as president."
Now, lemme set the record straight. I'm sixteen. I suppose I'm like other sixteen year-olds in the fact that I feel out of place, I like porn, and I spend most of my time wondering just what the hell I'm gonna do with the rest of my life.
My parents vote Democratic. I really couldn't give a shit who wins the primaries here in Florida right now. But that's not the issue here. You, Mr. Bumper Sticker, are saying that our president has the support of terrorists? That's a pretty bold statement to make, pal. That's like saying, oh I don't know, that Mother Teresa is supported by axe murderers. It's just stupid.
I'm not arguing for the terrorists, nor am I arguing that everyone isn't entitled to their own opinion - it's in the First Amendment dammit. All I'm saying is that making a statement like that, you'd better have good arguments behind it.

The Rays...Discuss
Posted 15 years agoDown here in sunny Florida, we have but one team that has yet to win it's respective championship - the Tampa Bay Rays. They had a good run this year, but it really sucks to say that we (expletive deleted) up bigtime. To y'all in Texas, I salute the Rangers for three well-played games against us - you guys played good.
As for the Rays, I think the issue is more that we got cocky. We played a good season but got WAY to ahead of ourselves. I'm heartbroken that my team lost, but such is life. We move on, until next season when we can try again.
Switching gears, anyone follow the Chilean miner sitiation? They're finally getting out of that hole in the ground.
And also, the reporter may have been killed by a grenade? I'm not gonna say anything except that the military ticks me off sometimes.
