About Myself: I'm a 30-something living in North Carolina. I write for fun, and am looking for some critiques.

My literary heros include Stephen King, Dean Koontz, John Saul, and E.A. Poe. If you are looking for a really good short story, check out Dean Koontz's "Kittens" from his book Strange Highways. Also, check out Raymond Carver's "Little Things" (aka "Popular Mechanics"). And, if you can find it, a short called "The Old Black Hat" by Gary Raisor. Classic.

Also, for reading material, I enjoy comic books. Not only the Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men variety, but also Calvin and Hobbes, Zits, and Non-Sequitor. Some good reading right there, I tell you.

Title article: Unavoidable Detours Created By The Elderly.

I agree with the others. This was a good little piece, quaint and simple. I particularly liked the way you described the old men's clothes as 'polite'. That's a good description. Keep it up.

Title article: Emerald Sands
Date: 2008-07-11 22:18:56

That was a beautifully descripted poem. I can feel the longing that the one in the story has for Ireland, and it makes me want to visit there. I'm not sure if I'm Irish or not. Good story anyway!

Title article: Hit The Spot
Date: 2008-07-11 22:14:39

Is this kinda like "Death of a Salesman II"? That's kind of what I'm pulling from it. 
You were all over the place with this story, flitting from one topic to the next. Not a good thing. Also, you really need to work on all of the spelling, grammar, and punctuation of the story. 
At first, my perverted side took over when I read the title of the story. Sounded like a cheap porno. Maybe my mind is stuck in the gutter. Not sure.

Title article: The Reluctant Lover
Date: 2008-07-11 16:00:49

WOW! This was a good, twisted story. This is what good reading is all about. It's definitely going into my favorites. Keep up the good work!

Title article: Thoughts from a Loser
Date: 2008-07-11 13:01:44

Wow. You work fast! I just barely got that posted. 
Thanks for the comment!

Title article: Black Tears
Date: 2008-07-11 12:42:27

Zombie and sunshine both have it right. You need to work on rhyming (I suggest the purchase of a rhyming dictionary), and you also have to work on the flow of the poem with the syllable usage. 
I have no original thoughts. I've been zombified. 
Anyway, I thought the message of the poem was decent.

Title article: The Eternal Force Feeding
Date: 2008-07-11 12:37:41

I'm not sure what you are being force-fed, but I can realate. We all can. We are force-fed lies and propaganda from the government, we are force fed the need for certain posessions and specific body figures from the media, and there are many more things that are fed to us on a daily basis. The worst for me is the strained peas. I hate it when mom feeds me that stuff. 
Decent poem.

Title article: Blind
Date: 2008-07-11 12:31:14

I really enjoyed this poem. It brings around some great thoughts that I'm sure many people can relate to. Faith is, unfortunately, something that not everybody understands.

Title article: Stalker Shopping
Date: 2008-07-11 12:26:34

I usually don't dig humor stories, cause they're usually dumb, but this one was worth it. The only thing I would suggest would be to spend a little more time stalking the girl. Hide behind aisles, peek around corners, etc. Over all, though, it was a hilarious story.

Title article: She
Date: 2008-07-10 15:17:30

Ya know, when I looked on the "Promoted" section at the top and saw something that was written by you, I said to myself, "Oh, hell yeah. This is gonna be good, no matter what it is." 
You didn't disappoint. 
This poem was way dark, but unfortunately it is also realistic. I give kudos to you for not being afraid to tackle such a subject. 
Cosmetically, the lines didn't always flow so well, and the words didn't always rhyme, but the content made up for all of that. Way to blow my mind again.
