An Essay Upon Friendship pt 1: Duty

An Essay Upon Friendship part 1: Duty I have met a lot of people in my brief quarter century of life. I have met old and young, black and white, male and female, gay and straight, pretty much anything you can think of. And in my travels, I have made many friends, and lost many. Though through it all, I have always been perplexed that different people have different understandings of the idea of friendship. Many don't seem to have one at all. And it is in this perplexed bitter mood that I write this, trying to share some observations and maybe a bit of wisdom from personal experience. Hopefully, it will make some people look at themselves an

WHACK. Jack went down hard, his head banging into the concrete sidewalk. He blinked blearily upwards, the twinkling stars of mild concussion mixing with the actual stars of the night sky above. He was not exactly what you'd call petit, but the man who had hit him was shaped like a gorilla and the punch had felt like getting hit by a car. He coughed hard a couple times, feeling a bit of blood coursing down his chin from his demolished lips. He was quite suprised he still had all his teeth, and tried to collect himself to look up at his attacker. He regained enough of his senses just in time to roll to one side, the heavy boot crashing down wh

Vanessa's fingers scrabbled on the lock for a few seconds before she managed to actually get the key in the hole and open her apartment door. She swept inside and slammed the door behind her, and then let out a small scream as she realized she wasn't alone. John, a mid thirties handsome black man already starting to gray at the temples, was sitting in a chair by the fireplace reading, and he glanced up at her when she came in. "Oh, hey Van. Zaz tells me you two had a little talk." He looked pointedly at her hand and she held up the ring to show him. "And I see you accepted her offer." He said, pleased. Vanessa slumped into the chair opposite

Vanessa glanced around the street as she walked. It was late at night, but not so late that the nightlife wasn't still roaring. She passed several dance clubs and felt the boom boom boom of the bass thudding into her lungs even out here on the sidewalk above. She walked past groups of giggling school girls pointing at the cute boys in line to get in to a bar and whispering to each other, she walked by without a second glance at a group of drunks throwing up in an alley. She just kept walking, lost in thought, not really caring where she was going until she jumped at a hand grabbing her arm. "I Said, excuse me?" Said a woman loudly next to her

Candlelight Journal

I wrote this during a fierce storm yesterday, and since we just got power again and I want to remember this journal in future, I'm posting it. Its also honestly some of my own favorite works because I feel I'm more honest than usual in this piece (as opposed to my usual writings where I'm playing a character. here I'm me.) I'm writing this by candle light on a dark and stormy night. A little while ago the rain stopped, and I went out for a walk because I love the night just after a good rain. Everything seems so clean and calm. Then I got hit by gale force winds, a flash flood, and enough lightning to make me believe in Thor. I can cross 'r

The Zen Of Kitty Litter

James had been at this zen temple for a couple years now. He had taken a break from his high stress high paying job, and decided to do some soul searching. But he was getting increasingly frustrated with his journey. The monks were all friendly enough, and had welcomed him in with them to learn. But he didn't feel like he was accomplishing anything. They had had him sweep every damn inch of the grounds every day for a month. He figured it was some sort of way of paying for his room and board until he pointed out he could easily buy the whole temple ten times over with his savings alone, at which point they had simply nodded and given him a di

A VERY normal dream for me: to prove a point.

had a crappy day at some unspecified imaginary job. so i come home to my little meh house and mope for a moment, then remember I have a pool, and since its a gross hot day, a pool would be nice. so, I go outside to the pool in my very favorite suit, and stand at the top of the ladder platform to one of the slides. i notice a control pannel I haven't seen before, because this mini water park was just built the other day and I haven't tried it out yet. the controls are in chinese, but the pictures seem clear enough so I push a few buttons, get the jets on and water moving and such. then I stand there, and one at a time, take off my watch, jacke

Claustrophobia

Claustrophobia Little Wally Wentworth was a fairly normal happy little boy. He collected monster cards, he played with action figures, he had a dog and a backyard, and a loving family. Well, almost loving family. His big sister, Amanda, was a nightmare made flesh, and there was oh so very much flesh. Even at the young age of 15 she was easily three times his weight, her stumpy bulbous legs creaked the floors wherever she walked, her fashionable 'hawt ass' pants stretched to the limit and her designer cardigans could have been used to swaddle baby elephants. And she knew that tiny, timid little Wally was terrified of her and relished every se

Some advice to girls

Some advice to girls about being a girlfriend Having had an awful lot of girlfriends, knowing a lot of girls, and being a sort of Abed of observing the strange social rules and rituals I see around me, I think I have a fairly huge experience base for the following conclusions and advice. First, there are two kinds of girlfriends, and you need to determine which you want to be. In my experience, honestly which you choose is entirely up to what you're looking for, just as which type a guy wants are entirely based on what he's looking for. Examine them both, examine yourself and your goals for a relationship, and make your own informed decisio

well hi, so, yeah, a lot of news

0 min read

So... there is an awful lot to tell since I last did a journal here. If you want more detail than I'm about to give, well, email or PM me or something. However, bullet points: 1: health issues. I went to the ER 4 times in the last 2.5 months, ICU once. I am not doing well. 2: mental health issues I am on some new medication which will in theory  be a massive help to my life but its only been less than 3 days so far and, well, I haven't adjusted. which is a polite way to say i'm wigging the fuck out but managing as best I can. 3: I cofounded a company 4: it... is on haitus for now, lets just say that. 5: the big news: As you may or

good analogy

0 min read

I just thought up a good analogy for my feelings about homosexuality. first off, its basically summarized by "I just don't fucking care?" because its none of my business. what you do with your genitals, apart from rape, is entirely your own business. And however cliche it may be, "love is love" is also a good summing up of the issue. go for it. but once in a while someone will say that since I don't like seeing gay people making out etc, I'm homophobic. no, not at all. but it took me a while to give a good explanation as to why. think I have one now. Its just not aesthetically pleasing. I don't even like my own penis very much, not to me

New Novella and Twitter

0 min read

So, a couple updates to those of you who are still fans I got a new suit, and it is magic, because I suddenly got creative and excited to work. Impending doom is also a decent kick in the ass, but still, magic suit. This means my new novella (just started today) should be out in... eh, I hesitate to give a definite time, but gods willing? just a few days. though I'll need to proofread etc. I hope you all like it. its quite unorthodox, in a good way. I'm hoping to make a career out of writing novellas. One, because I genuinely want to share my imagination and ideas with the world, and I want you to enjoy them. 2: because realistically, I c
