AFL Susends 2009 Season

I feel awful for the employees, players, and all of us fans.

These times are hard on everyone, and I for one truly enjoyed going and watching the AFL.

Hopefully with a new re-structured league, a new and improved AFL will emerge in 2010.

Here's the article

Ch 31 for Stay is up!

Song Bits

Okay, I know i'm supposed to be updating Stay and I will.

but I wanted to share a couple of links for you.

The first site is by my great friend Becky.

Becky's Blog Books

She's a great writer and has previously written stories such as Save a Prayer and her current one Lie to Me.

Becky also has a great part to her site called Song Bits where she, myself and a few other authors have written short stories set to Bon Jovi songs.

I encourage you to take a look.

One other quick link is the Goddess Hathor's Quick Pic Fic Link site:

Quick Pic Fic


Enjoy all the teasing and reading!!!

Off to write and post....

Bon Jovi/Music Business 101.

Interesting read:

Most of it I knew, but enjoy the article.


Jon's a Brillant Businessman

Dear God-What a nightmare!!

It all began early Friday morning.

After falling asleep at 11:00 pm on Thursday, between 1-2 am on Friday the snap crackle and pop of the of the trees was amazing to hear.

Fifteen minutes later, the power went out and it stayed out.

Until 11:30 Sunday morning.

Mother nature can be devastating yet beautiful. The ice on the trees is so pretty yet its weight snapped trees like matchsticks and wrapped power lines in a coil.

Thank god we installed a gas fireplace so we were warm...and for my readers...I was able to during the day, to write...Some new chapters of Stay will be coming shortly.

A question for ya..

Okay everyone need your advice.

Lately in my email box there have been invitations to entering screenwriting contests.

I'm too late for the American Zoetrope one. Here's the link for not only screenwriters, but also for any short story writers, future authors to get their stories critiqued by other fellow and future thespians.

http://www.zoetrope.com/contests/

It's a great website the Francis Ford Coppola started a few years ago. Some of these people helped me out so much when I first started writing little short scripts and even my longer ones. Talented bunch.

The early entry for next year's begins in May. Should I? Shouldn't I.


But there's this one. (Granted my odds suck) But I think I'll try it, it'll be a lot of fun. It's called True North and the winning script gets their 60 sec short filmed by....
Actress HELEN HUNT!!! (woot!) It'll also be shown during the Oscar's telecast.


I'll have to literally set aside time which should be okay to do, but I think it's time to dust off the FINAL DRAFT software and give it a go.

Here's the link for anyone who's interesting in learning about writing their True North Story!!

Talk to you all soon!!
Shell

Giving Thanks and some movies to watch.

Okay, It's been over a week...Ahem....probably a little longer since i've updated this.

I hope everyone had a healthy and safe holiday.

I wanted to take the time and thank all of you for reading my stories supporting me.

This has been so far not only a great learning experience, but the friendships I've made have been second to none. MUAH.

Okay, you all know me pretty well by now. Enough the the mushy stuff.

Besides being in a turkey coma, for several days, I've not only been writing, (Bay, you and Susan will be happy to know that BTW. LOL), but I've been also catching up with some great movies.

Instead of posting a long blog about the Rocky Collection which I'll do eventually.

I decided after talking to a friend to discuss a movie that not only provokes thought, but also left me saddened and disturbed.

The movie is called The Dead Girl. And it stars Brittany Murphy, in what is only my opinion, the best role she's ever done.

http://www.firstlookstudios.com/deadgirl/

She is Krista and her life is weaved into 5 compelling stories. With each story, she transforms the people around her with either a positive result or with such a horrific result that you can't help but to watch, be angry and see how the rest of the story unfolds.

The other cast members are Marcia Gay Harden, Kerry Washington, Toni Collette, and a performance by Mary Beth Hurt that I am blown away by.

I watched this movie on Sunday...and today....it's still with me. When you write and direct something like this great piece and hope it moves either a viewer or if your an author a reader, you've done your job.

Thanks Karen Moncrieff for not only telling a great story but showing us that nothing is always fairy tales and happy endings....Sometimes just seeing life is what it's all about.

Later peeps

Ch 30 is up for Stay!!

Movie Friday

I was talking to a friend the other day and thought that if you're a movie buff like me, you'll be like this section.


Every Friday whether if it's a classic or newly released movie...I'll talk about it.

This week...my picks are Twilight (the first of the adaptation of the awesome books by Stephanie Meyer. I started reading them over the summer and I love them!!! You don't have to be a teen to enjoy them either. )

And for classics....Because it's getting to that time of year. National Lampoons's X-mas Vacation.

Can't wait to see Twilight this weekend! and X-mas Vacation, rent, buy it...It's hysterical...Snots the dog...that is all i'm saying!! LOL!!!

The Josh and Jovi Effect

Talk about the Jovi Effect...

Earlier today I had gone out with my mother to get some lunch and run errands when the two of us get into her truck.

I turn on the radio and "Wanted: Dear or Alive" is on. I went "Oh mom, listen, Wanted is on!" she went "Are you kidding me? You know lately that everytime I happen to be in a room with you or pass by your room, there's a Bon Jovi song on?"

I had no idea. "I went. Seriously?"

She said. "Yep!"

Indeed I was surprised.

And then I noticed that the Jovi Effect also has now passed to my latest crush Josh Brolin...

Everytime I talk to my friend on the phone...I swear to god. Either No Country for Old Men is on...Or the Valley of Elah.

Both movies star Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones, and that guy from Northern Exposure Barry Corbin (I think his name is).

By the way...Recommend both of those movies. Tommy Lee is fantastic in the Valley of Elah in which he plays a retired solider trying the solve the disappearance of his son.

In No Country for Old Men...In my opinion, it is Josh's movie. He should have gotten an Academy Award nomination for it. He's just that great in it. His performance of Vietnam Vet who just wants more out of life than what he currently has is something that I think everyone can relate to. Especially in this day and age.


So the spotlight again for me is on Josh....
Other facts about Josh

He and a friend are daytraders when he's not acting. They own a website called.
http://www.marketprobability.com
He's also married to Diane Lane.
Besides having James Brolin as a dad and Barbra Streisand as a stepmother...
Josh has directed a short-film called X which stars his daughter and also has directed a several plays in Rochester in a theater group that he and actor Anthony Zerbe (from Josh's Young Riders days) used to run.

This is sooo adorable

With all the stress and worry about our world's future, and the promise to come with a new President and Vice President Elect, things are crazy enough...

OMG RICHIE SAMBORA

Okay there's a bunch of us talking tonight and we're watching Richie's Ballad of Youth and are in love....

Most of us have seen this video before...but if you haven't. Here's the link

He EVEN MAKES A backwards baseball cap HOT!!!

Who else besides jbj can do that?

Josh and Jon

Okay. Thanks to the wonderful Sunstreaked, I've decided to babble today about my latest muse, Josh Brolin.

He's appeared in movies like No Country for Old Men (which I have on my dvr and watched like 7 times yesterday) and American Gangster.

For the kids of the 80's....yes he was Brand in the Goonies and in one of my all-time favorite shows. The Young Riders...

I had an idea for a story if you can believe with both he and JBJ. I started writing this poem to add to my sister's scrapbook that she's currently making on this historic election, however, I'm finding that the poem is getting longer and longer.

It would be non-ff. I think...Starting with a character that would cross with another character and so on. Each character would represent a part of America that either represented change or that needed change.

Characters cross, lives intersect...

Sound dumb?

Let me know.

Shorts....

I finally gotten around to posting some shorts that i've done over the last few years.
They're small but they were nice to revisit (and for a couple) them like the old friends they are.

So enjoy and let me know what you think!

Undiscovered Soul

Hey, where are you going Mr. Bluesman? And can I ask you are you really an Undiscovered Soul? javascript:void(0)
Today, as I sit and listen to your profound words and attempt to picture the world as you do, I thought...You know, although the ways we express ourselves, we're not so different you and me.
To me, you are THE Renaissance Man. A devoted father. Genius singer and songwriter to boot.
But like your partner in "The Show" you let us see through your own work, that there are i many views of the dream.
The dream that we too can find "our soul" through diversity and friendship.
Richie, through your words of wisdom and deep sensitivity, we have made sure that there are no more Strangers in our towns, our youths always have some ballads to sing and finally keep some lights burning.
For you are our Pied Piper with your six or 12 string guitar and I thank you for giving us a glimpse of what makes you, you.

The Show

He is The Show….
Like a lover with his mistress, it is his job and honor to work a room and seduce us all.
Is it the blue eyes, the hair or is it just the crazy dance moves? I can’t tell.
We think at times we know what’s on his mind, but I for one, am glad that I don’t.
He can be an illusionist, a chameleon, a storyteller and a hero.
To me he is THE host of the party and I am grateful to him for making all of us feel at home, making us dance and making us shout.
But most of all, I thank him for making all of us believe… In the dream.
The dream that anyone and everyone like him can just-.
Be positive… Be Strong…Be Good…Be Bad…but also be a thinker.
For The Show with his all his glory spins and weaves his tales of love, connections and at times disillusionment for all of us to think.
When you see The Show, in those jeans, the shirts, and different kind of boots each and every night we are all mesmerized, captivated, shaken and stirred by his boundless energy, passion and commitment.
Is he really Captain Kidd? Or like the superhero he wears so prominently on his sleeve? Or is he simply just a man who encourages all of us to just…Dream?
I guess that’s what’s The Show is for and to be honest, I wouldn’t have it any other way. He is our messenger, our friend, our pride and joy.
Sometimes, I admit at times I want to know about The Show. But as I write this, maybe his secrets and seductions should be his and his alone.
For if we all knew his secrets, I’m afraid there would
be nothing left to know about The Show and perhaps then that’s when his story would end. And I know I’m not ready for that ending just yet.
So ladies and gents, this year as The Show and his friends come upon our TV sets, towns, cities, stages, radio and internet, please remember to do one thing.
Thank him for the laughs, thank him for the tears and but most of all thank him for being making all us believe…In Dreams.

The Lovers

They were still sweaty from their recent lovemaking. The two of them leaned against the bed’s headboard in exhaustion.
They caught their breath. The blonde simply looked at him in astonishment, though more surprised at herself. She had never done what she did before.
His long, lean frame for now was sated from their activities. From the waist down he covered himself in a blanket after feeling a brief chill. He raked his hand through his long-brown hair and turned towards her with a sly grin on his face.
“You are right darling?” he asked
She nodded her head at him. She couldn’t help but get caught up in his warm, brown eyes. “I’m fine.” She said.
He looked at her smugly.
“Do this much?” she continued.
He snickered. “Not for a long time.”
He looked at the contours of her petite body. It was perfect, sleek and curvaceous. He loved how it continued to glisten from their coupling.
He shifted himself underneath the blanket. For the more she moved, the more aroused he became.
She looked at his fingers. They were strong, flexible. She took a hold of one of them and began to stroke the back of his hand.
“You said you played guitar right?” shed asked.
“I do.” He replied.
She smiled shyly at him. Her body began to ache for the pleasure he brought to her minutes before.
Her strokes on his hand had gotten longer and longer. Her fingers were now interlaced with his bringing them towards her.
He continued to lie there. His body began to strain once again through the blanket. She straddled him through the blanket. She loved how the friction of the blanket felt against her thighs.
With one quick move, his large cock was directly underneath her.
Her body ached for his now badly. Still holding his hand, she took his second and third fingers and began to kiss them.
He groaned with hunger. His body wanted him to be inside her now. But, he also loved the feeling of arousal. He would hold onto it until he couldn’t any longer.
Her kisses were lingering and sweet; they went up his arm and across his chest.
He gasped as she still straddled her small frame over his. His cock tried hard to push through the blanket with no success. He grabbed her firm buttocks and began to thrust them towards him.
She closed her eyes and let the friction of the blanket and the warmth of his member take over her senses. Nothing else mattered.
The two of them continued to thrust and moan in unison as if they were discovering each other for the first time. When the desire became too much, she tore the blanket from between them and pushed him inside her. Her urgency made him gasp yet again.
The couple rode each other, plunging them deeper and deeper into their passions. When he couldn’t control his longing any longer, he gently put himself on top her. He plunged into her again and again.
Her body couldn’t control its longing any further, without thought, her body arched and met his violently. His member drove itself deeper and deeper into her until the two of them exploded.
The two lie gazing into each other eyes for several minutes, only as lovers do….

The Massage

The Following is a short story... You can insert your favorite rock star.....Enjoy!!!

The Massage
He lay on the bed face down. Through the curtains, the sunset came through the curtains in beautiful gold streams across his back.
He was beautiful and taut.
Unfortunately, due to the stresses of the day his back was tired and tense.
For now, all he could do was to lay there for her to relieve him of his discomfort.
She started at the curves around his ass. She slowly began to move up to the small of his back gently kneading the tiny knots to release ther hold on him.
His blue eyes closed, her tender, hypnotic sensations kneaded his muscles like the instrument he loved to play.
She went up his spinal column, continuing to press through the small knots that were coarsing through his thick corded muscle.
Eyes still closed, he smiled in approval over how his body was being satisfied.
Her hands made it now to his shoulder blades. He winced a little from the pressure.
"Relax." she whispered as the knots got bigger and harder to knead through.
She took the warm massage oil that was next to her and slowly poured it down his back. The oil went down his spine and pooled into the small of his back.
Her hands began to circle his back again, Only this time, the warmed massage oil slowly began to release the tension and the stress of the day. He finally began to relax under her care.
She began to gently kiss his shoulders. Retracing the trail down his back and around the curves of his firm ass.
In one swift move, he turned around and grabbed her hands.
As if he were pleading, he pressed her tiny hands against his thighs.
She gasped at how toned and warm they were. She in return, bent down and brushed her lips with his. She enjoyed the sweet taste of his lips.
His breath was warm and gentle. Her tongue continued its exploration of his mouth. He became tense again, only this time he was in control of how he would be relieved.
He shifted his weight so that he was fully underneath her.
Her kisses became harder, she straddled herself to meet him.
His hot gaze never wavered from hers. He lifted up her gown so that her own buttocks were exposed. This time feeling her tense, he smiled and kneaded her tight butt muscles. Involuntarily, she began to ride him. Opening up her legs so that he could enter her.
His entry was swift and full. His thrusts were hard and slow, she met his with equal precision. Slowly, she began to thrust quicker and harder. She rode him hard until her body couldn't take anymore.
They both gasped. Minutes later the two slept side by side....Thoroughly relaxed from their massage.
