What the Hell?

I love this park. I used to run trails out there, take my daughter to the nature center, and eat lunch in the parking lot . . . to be close to nature people.

I guess the park has also became the equivalent of a meet up point for homosexual men. Not to go on a rant here, but come on, it's a PUBLIC PARK.

This used to be a problem at Oak Park and several other places around town. PEOPLE it's the age of the Internet. Figure out a private meeting spot and go there. Operative word in that last sentence is PRIVATE. The Wichita police received several tips that many people were meeting up in the park and decided to do a bust. Something of interest, they put their pictures on the John's and Hooker's website: Check it out: http://www.wichita.gov/CityOffices/Police/FieldServices/North/Prostitution+Page.htm

They're the ones arrested at: 3228 N. Oliver.

It's an interesting site because you can see what meth does to people.


Anyway, I've known several gay people in my life. I believe that everyone has the right to follow their own ideals. Fine. What I have a problem with is if I'm walking in a park with my daughter and see this . . . well as Stan Lee said 'Nuff Said.

Teaching the young

I have a group of friends that all had babies at the same time.

There is one named Sophia that is a kindred little spirit to my daughter, Sam.

Uncle Brian is teaching her to be evil.

Flash

Try to write something other than an e-mail in less than a thousand words.

Sad thing, my first flash fiction is now my novel “Hell to Pay”.

Now I’m looking at another piece called “Musings at the End of the World” and thinking about taking a break from my other projects (like their going furiously now) and undertaking a slackers story about finding out the moon is alive.

I got the idea from Michael Arnzen’s newsletter, the Goreletter. Check out his page of prompts.

I’ve never been a fan of timed writings or journaling (yeah, I’m blogging, what of it), but it does stimulate the cortex and makes me do other things.

Just a thought.

Greetings and Salutations

Welcome to That Damn Dash. Please watch where you step because it will pile high in here.

Who am I?

Quite simply, I am an adult child still trying to figure what he wants to do when he grows up. I have some fascinating hobbies: I'm a storm chaser, ordained minister, professional writer (I've been paid without anything on the Barnes and Nobles shelf), photographer, and a man with a view on the world that's about three degrees out of norm.

From time to time I like to get annoyed and really let it fly. This will be my sounding board.

I'm looking to discuss almost anything here. Just remember, I'm the one with the delete comment button. So keep an eye on this page. I have a fairly interesting life and we will see where it goes from here.
