Life is worth an entry



Need a beta and Editor for something old and new

Posted by W_L, 16 May 2013 - - - - - - · 49 views

I know people waiting for Big Squeeze, but I can't release new chapters without some aid.

I also have begun writing a new Sci-Fi story, one that I really like and hope intrigues people with its ideas and hook.

Take a look at my request  and a short example of my sci-fi story, if you want to offer help:


Heading to San Diego, any tips

Posted by W_L, 08 May 2013 - - - - - - · 94 views

I know it's not San Fran, but I can't resist the call of the wild and shamu III :P

Any travel tips or ideas? Any gay travel things I can do in the city, like shows or clubs. Not looking to hook up, but I wouldn't mind meeting some So Cal guys either :D


Internet Sales Tax may be coming, it has passed the Senate

Goodbye tax free shopping and Amazon Bulk purchases, online shopping may be getting taxed. I get it from a tax perspective, it has been a gaping loophole in the US and international tax jurisdiction that people can buy a lot of items online while avoiding sales tax. I...


Review of Spartacus: War of the Damned Finale

Posted by W_L, 28 April 2013 - - - - - - · 75 views

Epic, beautiful, and tear-jerking.

The legend of Spartacus has been told countless times with every generation coming up with another story or film that captures the imagination. This retelling by Starz network had more blood, swearing, and sex than any other, but it felt more true to form for the era and times. Slavery is not a dead concept of the ancie...


Costs of Health Care in the US

Posted by W_L, 25 April 2013 - - - - - - · 84 views

I said it beforre in another blog and countless times when the soapbox was still around: the biggest expense for the average health care provider was the insane mandate of Electronic Health Records implementation.

I was reading this on CNN and I think even the more liberal proponents have to see that this reform was far too heavy handed:

Sharing a anime dub, Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi

Posted by W_L, 23 April 2013 - - - - - - · 78 views

Don't worry it's not the sexual brand of gay Anime :P However, it is moving and very adult oriented. I thought the fan Dubbers did good job on this episode and it explores some interesting things that GA writers have gone over, gay guys who have given up on love.

The original japanese is much better, but this is fine to give an American audience a taste....


Healing with dogs :D

Well, there is a lot of sympathy and charity going around (I just put $100 to the red cross for Boston Marathon bombing victims)  We're going to get through this and I am thankful for everyone around the world showing your solidarity.

Now as for the title of blog: This was the cutest thing in recent days and kind of lifts the spirit

Some thoughts about the Boston Marathon Bombing

Posted by W_L, 16 April 2013 - * * * * * · 121 views

As a Bostonian, I am extremely sad and angry. Sad at the three lives extinguished so far and over a hundred, whose lives will never be the same. Angry that some one could act like this and kill so indiscriminately.

It felt like 9/11 happened again, but it was much closer to home. I've walked these routes in years past, I've traveled down Newbury street l...


Did 90's Fantasy have more gay subtext than modern fantasy?

Posted by W_L, 13 April 2013 - - - - - - · 98 views

I was itching to re-watch some old fashioned campy 90's action shows, so only one name came to my mind, Xena :P

Yes, that show was definitely made to be utter cheese, but I really tried to pay attention to all the lesbian hints in the show that I missed as I was growing up. I watched it as a kid in the 90's, but never really thought of it with sexual ove...


How does an inverted debt pyramid work?

Posted by W_L, 31 March 2013 - - - - - - · 96 views

From foreign policy to theology, I have been bouncing around in my blog. Now I want to get back to my own skills, Finance:

An inverted debt pyramid is a modern concept in finance, not fully realized in most circumstances beyond the text theories with examples only becoming common in the last few years.

Let me start off with some basic ideas:
