I work in a mall, and across from my shop is a food counter, where this girl named _______ works. She is a spunky, happy-go-lucky girl. Hell, everyone at 22 should be. She balances out my pessimism for the most part, bringing me little treats and yapping on about every little thing. It's a good break from the rest of the world, and i enjoy this time. Recently, a very good male friend of mine came by to keep me company and play me some chess. Not my perfered choice of entertainment, but you...

I have been posting to Joeuser for only just over a week. I read a lot of the articles, and liked what I read. It also seems like a lot of the posters here have been here for awhile and knew each other. I liked the fact that it seemed like a cool little community. Also, the point system for articles is cool, refreshing idea. There is also the fact that I can post things that I am interested about and get feedback. I am trying to get a novel published, and this also gives me a good chance to w...

I am moving next Sunday. My friends seemed pretty indifferent to the idea. At first I figured that there was a certain amount of disbelief there. After all, I had just come back from vacation and now I am moving. I actually started to think that maybe these people that I had invested my free time in were really not friends at all. I am a little unsure of it still, but people are gradually coming around and saying goodbye. I was supposed to have a party as a going away thing, but I cancell...

Cont: So, I escaped to the Vancouver Intl. Airprot, where I enjoyed a pop machine eating my change and snacking on what I could only assume was stale Tim Horton's Muffins...I tried to exchange them, but the lady only smiled at me and siad, in broken english " You enjoy!" With that kind of enthusiaism, how could I ask for a refund? I popped out the laptop and started writing some more on the second book in the trilogy series I am currently trying to get published, and looked up to noti...

So, I jsut got back from a lovely vacation. I was out of town for a week and attended a wedding of a couple that I have been friends with for about a year or so. The location of this city...well, town, was in the middle of B.C., about a hours' flight from Vancouver. My anticipation to getting the hell out of my current city for a break had been reaching a climax. Work seemed to be getting lame and mindless, dealing with a good portion of the elderly of my city. Why some 90 year old needs t...

Generally, I think I am a good shopper. I tend to do my part as a consumer without wasting my budget. I am a single male in his early 20's, so I pretty much have little to no true fiscal responcibility. But, there is a darker beast that lurks in my house that I can't seem to kick now that I started doing it. Bidding on Ebay. It started simply, of course. A couple of computer games that haven't been made for about six years. Then, I started looking up Magic cards, I swear to re-live good...

Thank you all for the interest in my articles, I am offical number 100 for a moment. yay! *hugs to you all*

I would like to point out, before you read the body of this article, I do not side with the people in this case. I think that it is interesting that since hte time of the case and the media uprise of pulbicity on the release from prison of Mary Kay Latourneau, that the issue has come full circle and came back with a vengence. The television tells me that jsut a couple of days after her release, Mary Kay Latourneau, has hooked back up with the boy that got her put into jail in the first pla...

I wish I had a drink right now. It is really late, and my bed called me a long time ago. When my light was turned off, and the pillow excepted my head for dream ready position, my mind would not shut down. My own mind kept calling me a loser. How is that for not so sane? I used to get that a lot back in the days when my wayward teenage years were coming to a end and the pressures of the real world started closing in. I ended up paying for my rent while in school by being a relief DJ ...

When I moved, 23 days ago, I was insistant that I was on some great adventure. I was finally getting out of a city that did nothing for me anymore, and I was off to explore a strange new world. Now, I wonder. I got into two fights with one of my roomates today over the computer. First, let me explain. I sleep in a room with two computers and a laptop. Until I arrived, it was a spare room that people could come and go as they please. One roomate, well, he likes to sit in front of hi...

I read a quote that a friend showed me the other week a quote from rapper and famous Public Enemy frontman, Chuck D: " The internet is color blind!" Is that so? Another friend was telling me about this article that he read in Playboy about race-bending. The subject had to do with a white boy going onto the internet to a room for the up and coming rap community. It was interesting to see and read, after looking at the article itself (Playboy really does have good articles) that the peopl...

Harrry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is on it's way. It has been a littel over two years since R.K. Rowling had released the mixed bag that was Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix. As many Harry Potter fans, I eagerly await news on the newest book by hitting R.K.'swebsite. When I found out that not only the title had been picked, but she was actually on her way to writing, I was excited. I myself, got into the HP thing a lot later than most. I actually read the first book in l...

So, I have moved. I have been in my new, smaller, more compact town for three weeks as of tomorrow. I have fallen into a funk. I immediately noticed too many differences in the first week. One, the movie theater plays hit movies...over a month after they ,would have hit my other town. that might not say a lot, but we just got Alien Vs. Predator. For a movie guy like me, that means I need to catch up. Second, getting a job. The largest company here is Wal-Mart, and I'm still waiting ...

I generally don't talk about my personal life online much. From experiences here and other places, usually anything mildly homosexual tends to gain a lot of negative press. Unfortunately, I am gay and this is sort of a gay subject. So, for all of you that want to read on, but don't like the gay taint to life, pretend i am talking about a girl. I will even purposely be abiguious. There is this person that I beleived that I liked a lot in the past. For two years I was infatuated to no ...

So, I started seeing this guy. He is amazing in every single way. I could totally see falling in love with him. He has this kind of side to him that apparently a lot of people have a issue with. He is a Furry. TO be honest, before we started dating and all that, I had a really strange view of what a furry was. I went to a comiccon one year and I had this little beanie baby teddy attached to my backpack, and some random boy started following me. This was my first encounter with a furry and...
