Just Give Me Ten Days (Book) - 12/13/2008 7:58:16 AM
Oh my goodness. You are an amazing story teller. Where did you get these ideas from? Fantastic imagery. J'nia

The End of the Motorcycle Dreams (Short Story) - 7/18/2009 5:56:36 PM
What a great dream, what a wonderful story. I know the dream well. About your dream, every word placed just right. I was almost afraid to read it, I thought it was going to be sad. But it was victorious. I am proud of you for not giving up. I could just picture your wifes face and how proud she must have felt for you. It is always uplifting to read a story like The Dream. Thank you for sharing your story with us. May God Bless You and all of your loved ones. Daniel

I Am a Man of Beliefs (Short Story) - 1/9/2009 7:52:33 AM
I think that we often put these people on pedestals from the image that the media shows us all the time. In true fact why do we hold these elite and whatever they do, say and think by such high standards? They are just people like we are but they exist on a different level than most of us. Their lifestyles are priviledged to say the least and it is hard to say how they can possibly relate or give lip service to real issues in the world today. If something terrible happens to them, they get on a jet and escape. The freedom of money and status makes them talk about "beliefs" and I just say consider the "source". Live your life the way that brings you smiles. Money is not everything. The funny thing is the ones with money try every trick in the book to hide it and often are not as happy as they appear. The materialism is often beautiful but people are what really matter in this life of ours. Friends, caring, listening, and opening your mind. An open mind is a beautiful thing. If people would get off their soap box and give a listen to other people, regardless of their social status or money or religion, the world would be a better place. thanks for sharing

I Am a Man of Beliefs (Short Story) - 1/2/2009 3:45:38 PM
Yes it is true that we believe what we choose to believe. No, their beliefs cannot hurt you. But if your belief is not based on fact, ie; that smoking will not kill you, one day, then it is your own belief which will hurt you. People can only force their beliefs upon you if you are held under some form of duress, ie; torture, otherwise they are merely stating their own opinion. And you get to choose to listen or not. Ah freedom! cheers J'nia

The Confession II (Short Story) - 11/4/2008 3:32:00 PM
Impressive. I really enjoyed this (though I wouldn't classify it as "fantasy").

The Confession (Short Story) - 8/6/2007 7:56:27 AM
This is a made for TV script. I enjoyed this story and it kept unfolding in my mind as a gripping crime show. Bravo!

Understanding God Through My Son (Short Story) - 7/6/2007 8:44:28 AM
Excellent pen! :)

Green Grass is Better Than No Grass (Short Story) - 6/16/2007 10:44:45 AM
The part of your sentence that said: My School Sucks; was clever. That would get the attention of most teenagers. Great write.

The End of a Fun-Filled Day of Eating (Short Story) - 6/16/2007 10:37:40 AM
Sounds like he had an eating disorder. Good write.

The End of the Motorcycle Dreams (Short Story) - 10/7/2006 8:03:45 PM
again, this one took me by surprise...i was sure you'd take it the other way with this title...very enjoyable read

The End of the Motorcycle Dreams (Short Story) - 4/24/2006 8:10:16 PM
Your writing is tight and fluid. After reading this, I may take a motorcycle ride myself. Thanks.

The End of the Motorcycle Dreams (Short Story) - 2/7/2006 5:04:09 AM
Lovely story. I shared your dream for a number of years, when I bought myself a 750 cc Honda. Like you, I churned around on empty parking lots only to scare some lovers in their cars. I'm looking into buying another bike, but haven't made up my mind for which one. Take care! and enjoy

The End of the Motorcycle Dreams (Short Story) - 2/3/2006 3:44:58 AM
G, Great story!!! I know you would love to read my book, RIGBY'S ROADS since you and the main character Jack Rigby, have a lot in common!!! My own personal story is also very much like yours, and it helped me write the book. Ride safe, and keep the shiny side up!!! ...Michael

This was not like any other day (Short Story) - 1/25/2006 6:07:51 AM
Well done, powerful story - many forget about those who had to hear of this horrible event from someone other than family... I also was a teacher, but luckily (or unluckily) I was not teaching during the time we were attacked (I was in surgery, which was a whole other story). However, I was called into classrooms for many weeks afterward to work with students in nearly the same grade level (also my grade level - 7-12). One thing I can say - these kids are our hope that we can avoid such events in the future... Hopefully you're still teaching. ;) Great job on this story!

This was not like any other day (Short Story) - 1/6/2006 9:40:18 AM
NEVER FORGET! I know I won't! Powerful read of what you went through on that day. Very well done!

This was not like any other day (Short Story) - 1/6/2006 12:16:17 AM
This was not like any other narration of 9/11.

This was not like any other day (Short Story) - 1/5/2006 11:56:53 PM
Thank you for sharing this touching personal account. I often wondered, watching CNN from across the world on that faithful day and the weeks that followed, how fellow Americans at home were coming to terms with this shattering event - being there at or close to ground zero. I could not really imagine it, nor did I really attempt to. Maybe because I perceived it as too painful to look at. Your story has inspired me to explore other accounts of the impact 9/11 has had on individual people, and has shifted my focus back on the actual event and how it has changed our collective perceptions and the world itself.

???????? (Poetry) - 12/31/2008 12:17:58 PM
Very good poetry, we are on the same wavelength about the opposites in life and how they affect our life. I just posted a poem similar to this. We are all here to learn and find our answers through living and experiencing each other and life itself. Peace, love, and light, Amber "V"

Beast (Poetry) - 12/23/2008 8:45:18 AM
Such fine work. I'm thinking you would very likely have success at script writing. Such symbolism amazes me in one so young as yourself. J'nia

The Devil Cheers Them On (Poetry) - 12/23/2008 8:40:05 AM
Preach it brother. Once again a powerful write. Have you ever read C.S. Lewis's The Screw Tape Letters? You'd love it. It's about a senior demon who is teaching his underling demons how to trap a man into losing his soul. Funny and oh so incredibly true. J'nia

Evil (Poetry) - 12/23/2008 8:36:34 AM
No. He was my father, the bastard, now dead and gone down not up. There is a God, a God of final justice. Amen and an excellent write yet again. J'nia

Strength (Poetry) - 12/23/2008 8:32:58 AM
Bravo poet. You write extremely well. Blessings J'nia

Jealousy (Poetry) - 12/23/2008 8:31:04 AM
You are so right on. I have a sister who attacks me every chance she gets and your poem expresses well just why she does it. She has no talent, no integrity, and seethes her jealous rage. She can't help it tho because she is small, and as you indicate, the small just can't resist the urge to attempt to topple the strong.

I see you, I know you. (Poetry) - 12/23/2008 8:25:41 AM
Yikes! sounds like one of my sisters. Very scary girl. Good poem. J'nia

Promise (Poetry) - 12/13/2008 8:03:46 AM
Yes, a sacrificial love is the love which empowers others. Thank you. J'nia

A Dream (Poetry) - 12/13/2008 8:01:15 AM
You are right about the nature of dreams. Young men have visions and old men dream dreams of things past. J'nia

Strength (Poetry) - 10/13/2008 1:05:13 PM
Wow, quite a philosophical conclusion, yet perhaps very true, well said... Be always safe, Karen

Clean Slate (Poetry) - 9/13/2008 12:05:24 PM
In a world filled with such hate, In a world filled with such violence, We need a clean slate. Yes we do indeed..this piece made me think and I think the review from the chap below ( Alex Dihes) is disrespectful of you as a writer..this man Alex has been truly rude and nasty..perhaps we should all get together and report him..truly a brazen person..AD is not the same since he came upon the scene..he wrote me some truly rude messages..perhaps he needs psychiatric help. I like your work and will visit again, Blessings, vesna :)

Clean Slate (Poetry) - 6/25/2008 7:25:04 PM
Good advice, we all need a clean slate and to keep it clean in our lives. It is so hard nowadays to do that, so much is crooked in this world, so much crime, hatred and fighting. Tonight at Bingo two best friends started a fight over something and the one picked up a chair to throw at the other. Was stopped by person there, but it scared us all there for a few moments. Why do people lose their cool like this. Is it too much stress or what?

Clean Slate (Poetry) - 3/7/2008 12:30:49 AM
Yup, that certainly is one way to put the past in the past and move on.... Be always safe, Karen

Clean Slate (Poetry) - 3/6/2008 7:17:48 PM
Interesting pen...HUgssss

Jealousy (Poetry) - 12/22/2007 8:06:39 AM
I can relate to your poem, I believe I was visited by the Jealousy raider...Insecurity is the underlying basis for jealousy..This poem tells it like it is, thank you for sharing.. Peace, Love, and Light, Amber "V"

Jealousy (Poetry) - 11/4/2007 7:14:37 PM
Always! do your best and listen to your own heart! Jealousy rares it's ugly head, and I don't want to meet them... They must have confidence in themselves and their talents! WRite On G Warmly, Warrior Gypsy Purple Lady Sheeeoox STay Positive! HAPPY-HEALTHY and filled with Inner PEACE and Love!

A Dream (Poetry) - 6/19/2007 4:58:40 AM
Is it really 'just a dream'? I love the message wrapped within your words. 'Because I fear, That when I am older, My dreams may be nothing, But an old faded picture.' Wonderful words, and ones which we should all take note of. There's nothing worse than thinking 'what if?' Jessica.

Jealousy (Poetry) - 5/23/2007 3:31:08 AM
Sums up jealously very well!

Why I hate this toxic toxic world (Poetry) - 2/28/2007 5:14:20 AM
How true

Why I hate this toxic toxic world (Poetry) - 2/27/2007 7:43:42 PM
a poisoned world indeed ... hope we can find antidote ... powerful emotions in this poem ...

Places (Poetry) - 2/21/2007 1:22:45 PM
'Places' causes one to remember who we are, and that true happiness comes from within our hearts. Holly

Fear of the Storm (Poetry) - 2/1/2007 9:20:57 PM
If we always try to run from the storms of life, then we slowly die an inner death from the lacking of learning. rb
