Going Back To College When You’re Over 30

Formal education is usually a good thing, even in this economy, especially if you have a good work history.  There is nothing like a track record and a degree in hand to make a potential employer sit up and take notice of you.  It’s even better if your present job helps to finance your continuing education.  The job has a financial investment in your educational and job advancement.

I entered the University of Pittsburgh in 1999 as a fifty-something-year old sophomore and went on through until I got my MFA in 2006.  Going back to college was the best move of my life.

Blogging And Writing About Your Passions

Most bloggers and writers are passionate about at least one thing if not more.  That’s a good thing because what a person is passionate about is probably what that person should be blogging or writing about. 

Usually, a person with a passion is constantly increasing his or her stock of information about the object of passion.  This means there’s usually something new the blogger and writer have to say…

This Saturday Americans celebrate the birth of the United States.  Life in these United States will never be the same after the banking meltdown.  Unemployment continues to rise.  Pensions are wiped out and the insurance industry and it’s allies are pouring millions of dollars into efforts to kill universal health coverage.  The number of families that can claim to be in the middle class continues to shrink.  This July 4th is reality check time…

Flash Fiction Is A State Of Mind

I love short stories.  I love novels.  I no longer have the patience for them.  Is it because, you know, I’m getting up there in age?  Humm…

I tell you what I think it is for me and millions of other readers.  We don’t want to take the time.  And millions of other readers include a lot of folks a lot younger than I am.

We are suffering from information overload but we don’t want to give up on fiction.  I’m a writer and a blogger and I certainly don’t want to give up on fiction.  So, I write flash fiction.

Read some of the best flash fiction on the Internet by just going to the sidebar on the right under “Great Flash Fiction Stories To Read”.  You will find stories about blogging, karaoke, love, friendship, lesbianism, war, marriage, sex and writing.

Let the adventure begin.

Why Men Want To Try Anal Sex With Women

I would contend that men try anal sex with women because it’s taboo.  It is obvious to anyone that nature did not mean for the male penis to explore the female rectum.  But why do boyfriends and husbands do this to their girlfriends and wives and why do the women let them?

First off, there’s a lot of trust involved here.  An insensitive man, a man thinking of only his own sexual pleasure, could tear the delicate rectum membrane.

Secondly, if it’s taboo to him it’s taboo to her and a taboo can be a real turn on.

And third, it feels good to him and if she can relax, truly relax and not tighten her rectum muscles, it will probably feel good to her.  The use of a lubricant will make the easing of the penis inside more pleasant for both, especially for her.

Under no circumstances is a penis that’s been in the female rectum to be put in the woman’s mouth or vagina until that penis has been washed with soap and water.  Doing her “up the butt” can be a turn on in any loving and trusting relationship if it’s done right…

Fashion & Photos Of Your Girlfriend Nude

Most women are in some way familiar with the idea of women posing nude.  I say the idea because there’s a difference between the idea and the reality.  In the idea she still has control over what happens with the photos.  Many times in the reality control of the photos shifts to the boyfriend.

Whatever  a man does with the photos, he should not share them with other people without her permission.  If a boyfriend breaks this trust, he may not have a girlfriend for long.

Michael Jackson: The Entertainer

I was at Del’s Italian Restaurant in Pittsburgh this afternoon.  On the music station on one of the televisions was “Gimme More” by Britney Spears.  No visual.  Just the music.  I wonder what our girl Britney is up to now.  You know how they say celebrities die in threes…
