Vortex of Dostoyevskian Agony

I dedicate this to Anastasia from Sex, Life and Frilly Bits, a dear friend and one of the first people I met since starting this blog in February, 2007. She really made my day. She hails from Australia - her writing is fearless, powerful and brilliant. You should read her work, she is simply one [...]

The Negative Side of Positive Thinking

Has it ever crossed your mind that positive thinking has a negative side or that negative thinking has a positive side? Some people get so caught up in self help and being success oriented that they over do it. Sometimes, I just want to yell something negative at someone or say something incredibly pessimistic.

What Makes a Great Blog Article

Hello folks, I know I’ve been taking quite a long blogging break, but it’s not because I haven’t been writing.

Rain of Love

I have had this repeating dream for several nights and upon awakening I feel like I was in a real place, but it is just a dream. I walk through what seems an ancient city filled with beautiful marble sculptures, cobblestone streets but completely empty. I walk along reflecting all the failed love I have [...]

August 28, 2005: A Day To Remember

My weekly short story this week is the true account of my experience in Hurricane Katrina:
August 28rd 2005 (the actual landfall was August 29th though it all seemed like one long day) was a day I will never forget as long as I live. The day before, I made the decision to stay at my [...]
