8 pounds

By admin | Published: March 24, 2009
A friend of mine just had a baby. Sweet little thing, and the baby, too! I’m thrilled for him and his wife. They are both terribly nice, they are both obviously in love and this baby, I’m guessing one of several, was welcomed, anticipated and loved from the moment it was conceived. I’ve written about a [...]

One more year

By admin | Published: March 11, 2009
The things that make up a life. It’s hard to see, after years and years of living, how all the things that make us into what we are sit in our personalities. It’s hard to see how things that happened when we were twelve still affect us today. They get buried into the back of [...]

35 years

By The Prisoner | Published: July 16, 2008
I’d known him for much longer than that. He was married to my mother for those thirty five years. I never was very comfortable around him. I found him volatile and irritable. I didn’t like the way he was when he was drinking and I never knew him as well as many of the others [...]

2001

By The Prisoner | Published: April 18, 2008
I remember when that was a magic date, a time that signified a world of wonder and awe. In the wonderful story by Aurthur C. Clarke, mankind was lifted into a new universe, a place where we are not special, but one where we can feel truly unique. I really like that idea. I like [...]

7:00pm

By The Prisoner | Published: August 8, 2007
It was a hot very pleasant Sunday. G and I felt a need to get away from the heat of the apartment and decided a picnic on False Creek would be just the ticket. If you are not from here, False Creek is a very narrow, very shallow inlet from English Bay that George Vancouver [...]

13th floor washroom

By The Prisoner | Published: June 6, 2007
The washroom here on the thirteenth floor has become increasingly less popular over time. Many men are now making a journey down to twelve or, as I do, up to fourteen to use the facilites provided there. Its not because the facilities are dirty, or smellly or offensive in anyway of their own. No, its [...]

dozens of countries

By The Prisoner | Published: June 6, 2007
The Prisoner could actually be one, one day! This story from the BBC makes me shake in my CAPITAL-L liberal boots. With the way things are going,(apologies to Mr. Lennon) they’re going to crucify me. This is not just a bit of paranoia, either. Every day more and more personal freedom is taken away from us. [...]

43 minutes

By The Prisoner | Published: May 15, 2007
This story is just not fair. The thing is, we all schedule our commutes to the minute, spending one of them listening to a genius is just not included. I often travel through the corridors of Skytrain and Seabus. The great music that all the performers deliver always makes me happy, I even sometimes toss [...]

First Life

By The Prisoner | Published: April 14, 2007
My time in Second Life has come to an end. A fascinating and amazing place, to be sure but I have a story to tell about it. First know that I’m not like most people, I’m not special in any way, just a bit obsessive. Then know that Second Life is a world so unlike [...]

one hot story

By The Prisoner | Published: April 2, 2007
I”ve been writing porn. Well, sexy stories maybe is a better way to put it. I’ve been alternating between the woman’s and the man’s point of view in a highly charged sexual setting. I have to say its fun. I have never really tried to write from a female perspective, I’m male and that’s what [...]
