December 31st, 2016 Hello and welcome to my exploration into weight loss and health in a very unconventional way. My name is Terry and I'm getting ready for a New Year tomorrow, but more than that. It is my thirtieth birthday. When everyone else made New Year's resolutions I made mine based on not only a New Year, but My New Year. In my life I have done wel...
January 2, 2006, I had just entered the Manhattan high-rise in the heart of Times Square where I work. I was the founder and CEO of Goodfella$, a successful American men's magazine. Everybody in the building acknowledged me because I am the playboy known as the Nature Boy. I knew most of the women in my company, married or not, would sleep with me for braggi...
The following story is an alternative historical one set in its own universe similar to our own but far better in my opinion. This is the first of many others I will write. Set in 1444 in a place called Cypress Mountain which consisted of a large village of hard-working people and a large castle ruled by a king and queen. Surrounding the area was green gras...

The Moon rose over the land. The young man had been waiting for it. Since the beginning of the day, he could feel his blood boil. He was one of those extremely rare beings known as the Lycans. He emerged from the place where he had been hiding. In mortal life, his name was Liam. He was a tall and slender youth with dark hair, bronze skin and pale brown eyes...
Nothing like a lovely stroll in an enchanted forest on a day where the temperature's perfect, right? Hearing the birds chirping, animal making other noises and even- "AAAAARGH!" Whatever that was. That noise came from the mouth of a young barbarian, who chased after a massive creature. "Wait! Come back here, U'Gar!" He shouted as he pante...
For over a thousand years, the growth of urbanization and industrialization has all but destroyed many forests around the world. The more humans advanced, the more they destroyed the world around them. Many woodland type creatures have either been trapped inside preserved wildlife areas or gone extinct as a result. Unfortunately, though, there are creatures...
Lina woke the next morning with a start, feeling the tiny questing thoughts of her daughter. Her eyes widened in shock, knowing the babe couldn't be much of anything and already she was reaching to her mother. Shaking her head, she disentangled from Sinafay's arms, her violet eyes tracing his handsome face tenderly. Silently she padded outside to answer the...
In 1984, I worked a summer job as research assistant for my brother-in-law, Richard, a forestry professor at Boise State University. The job, conducting pine bark beetle surveys, took me into the wilderness four days each week, and during my time off, I stayed with Rich, my sister Abbey, and their young children, Chloe, 3, and Luke, newborn. June 4th was m...
Normally trekking through an old growth oak forest would be the cat's meow for me. After all, I am an ecology major just on the verge of graduation. The thought of graduation reminded me once again why I was here in these woods and my ire rose. Damn art requirement and damn counselor who had realized I was missing it! I hate art. I can't even draw stick figu...
