NOTE: This is a copy of an editorial piece I wrote for several newspapers in the Lubbock and Midland, Texas, areas, some of which I personally edit. I have not seen "Brokeback Mountain" yet, but plan to review it if I do. I apologize if any comments about other gay-themed films or plays offend people, but I am stating my opinion on how best to approach these...
46 Years After the Droid Wars Leia stood atop a flat mountain peak, looking out over dark green hills that stretched to the grey horizon of Dathomir. Something was different about her world today. She could sense a stirring in the land that simple felt...wrong. Her entire life she had lived and fought here. Fought against the terrifying power of the Nightsi...
In the beginning, The World was Four. Great Seas of Water surrounded the blackened and broken Earth which rose up out of it. Great mountains of fire dotted the land and belched and billowed great rivers of liquid fire. These red hot rivers crossed the land and meandered back to the sea and where they met great billows of steam and sulfur exploded from their...
This is not a story just about Atlantic Salmon fishing, it's a factual remembrance of happenings past and the unbridled passions of the girl I love!! (names have been changed). * * * * * My wife, Virginia, and I had been driving continuously for over eighteen hours in a mad dash to get to our favorite Atlantic Salmon river for the season's opening day. Th...
The drive up the mountain on Friday was rather uneventful. It was a nice leisurely drive on a sunshine filled afternoon. The trees were in peak change, the sky was a clear blue, and I could see for miles on every curve I rounded. About mid-afternoon, I was pulling into the lookout over "Lover's Leap". I am convinced that every major mountain range has a "Lo...
It was early August before I saw Edie again, though we were speaking on the phone almost every day. I was glad I lived in an area where I could use a cell phone. If I lived where my parents did, the long-distance tolls would have eaten me alive. It was funny. Having spent the weekend with Edie, and scratched the itch only left me wanting more. Had we lived...
"I will help you to destroy Brumelle, but the two women must accompany me on this mission." "Very well, but first you will you show me the exact location of the arch from where you entered this world before I allow you to leave with the women." "Yes, I will tell you its exact position. Then as soon as my mission of destroying Brumelle is finished I will br...
Fuck Mountain is usually a place where people go to have fun, but not always. Sometimes there's work to be done there and it looks like today I was going to have to do that work. As we already know, Christopher Columbus was not the first person to sail to America. See 500 years or so before that, a Chinese ship sailed there. They landed and traveled all th...
Edited by Angel Love Several years ago my husband and I lived in Malaysia, where I am from. I was twenty-four and petite, with a very slim, fit body of 34c-28-32. We had started a small tour company for the local hotels and had gradually been adding a variety of activity tours as demand and business increased. This incident happened shortly after we had sta...
She had gotten out of bed earlier today than normal. Jan and Rick had left just as the sun was clearing the tree line across the valley to drive down the mountain into town for the monthly grocery forage. Since it was about a two hour drive into town, then shopping, and finished off with dinner before returning home, she knew they would be gone the biggest p...
