It probably hasn't been that long, but it feels like I've been blogging here for quite a while.  It feels like I have gone through diferent stages here where the people that I read and those who read me now, are very different from the people who read me when I first came here.   I've also gone through different phases in writing as well.  There was a phase where I was putting everything out there and the editors loved it... but I lived in constant fear that people I cared about might stumble upon something that was really too personal for the web.  I yanked most of that. I think I've found a happy balance now as well as an assortment of different categories of posts.  

Mostly, what I found in developing this is a body of work that I would never have guessed that I was capapble of producing a year ago.  Where I go from here, I'm not sure... but the world looks different.

So here is an index of my posts.  The links within each category are placed in chronological order, such that the first one listed will be the most recent posting.  It is my hope that this will make it easy for you to find something that perhaps you missed the first time around.  Something that you can enjoy today.  It also helps me see what is actually here.  

Blog Categories

Harpisodes:  Of the different examples of writing here on my blog, these were the easiest to write and in many cases the most acknowledged.  I've also had to remove many of them including several that earned EPs last year.   These "Harpisodes" (Episodes from Harp's Life) are all based upon real events, actual relationships and real people.   It's the genre that caused me to stay here after wandering into the OS one day long ago.  I found that writing about significant occurences in my life, even those that took place ages ago, was therapeutic.  Unfortunately, I also recognized that some of what I was commiting to the World Wide Web was a tad too personal and needed to be censored... by me.   She Rocks and She Rocks Redux was fairly widely read because of the EPs.  The Camden series was well received because I promoted it.  Blood Beneath the Floor or The Ice Palace were pretty much just overlooked.  The four part Tapestry series was written during and after my own personal bout with cancer.  Trust me when I say that I was scared.   I was also in Oklahoma City after the bombing to work with some very traumatized people.  There's more if you choose to take a look.  Thanks guys.

Fiction:  What follows here is pure imagination and storytelling.   There are a few series that I am very proud of including the tales of old man Cheney and his erotic journeys into a whole different world.  If you missed that entirely, it begins with Cheney's Gift and goes on to Cheney Feathers.  The last episode is Cheney's Jungle Girl.    The four posts based upon the Rodeo Clown were my very first ventures into writing fiction of any sort.   My style was a little heavy handed at first, but a few folks found it interesting.  

 Erotica: I've tried to eliminate the inevitable overlap that comes from writing pure erotic fiction and writing erotica that is based upon actual events.  With the exception of The Southern State Parkway and Erogenous Aisles in Publix, this section is entirely erotic fiction.  The others are based upon actual occurences but I took them well beyond memories and into fantasy.  There is quite a bit of erotic down in Harpisodes as well.  

Bound for Home   Night of the Dipper   Something New After All These Years   Alana, Jessie and the Rabbit   Alana and Jessie   Alana   The Southern State Parkway   Erogenous Aisles in Publix (EP)    

Salon Stuff:  These posts came about in an assortment of ways.  Most typically a member, suggested the equivalent of an Open Call.  Otherwise what you find here was somehow inspired by my role as a citizen/observer of the salon.   

The Processss is Written   My "Spidey-Sense" in Contemplating the OS   Erotica... But Not Pornography?   Does Cartouche Look Like Jamie Lee Curtis...   The Bionic Booties    An Echo in the Salon   A Blog and A Vision Intertwined   My Sunshine Laws    

Star Wars Influence:  Surprisingly, these are the most fun and some of the ones that I will be doing a great deal more of.  Both have been recent posts and in these instances, Star Wars is simply used as an instrument to help explain observations and occurences taking place around us.  Lucas was far more brilliant than he is given credit for, and unless we realize that he opened up a predictive world where science and imagination are intimate lovers... we are missing out.   Trust me... I would never suggest that you kiss a Wookie.   

Come "Blade Runner" Come "Cyborg"   The Sexuality of Clones     Harmless Comic Characters or Racist Robt Caricatures? 

Travelogue:  I've traveled extensively to some exotic and wonderful places, like Thailand, Australia, France, and the Canary Islands.  Most of my travels  have not yet been featured, but you can find posts from the countries mentioned right here.   In addition, trips back home to New York City take on a whole new perspective with the advent of blogging.  I invite you to share it with me.   In each case you will find surprises and personal insight that go far beyond any travel brochure.  

Kangarumble at the Fourth Hole   Jungle Rust   The Lord of Evander Childs   Gun Hill Road Subway Station - Doorway to a Different World   Puerto de la Cruz – Sex on the Beach   The Isle of Tenerife - The Arrival   Australia Rocked My World    A Bangkok Night in the Fish Bowl   The Hunchback and the Boy  

Book or Movie Reviews:  Admittedly, Cannery Row could also be listed in the Travelogue section or the Harpisodes section of this index.  Either could work.  I like it here because the movie seems to echo throughout the post for me.

Cannery Row   The Human Contract - A Jada Pinkett Smith Movie Alert   Is There A Heart In the House Tonight?   Harp's "Forget Me Flops" for Female Actors   Frozen Turkey Bowling   Harp's "Forget Me Flops" for Male Actors   Shaft (EP)    

News Items:  Rarely do I write about about the political issues or current events of the times.  I make the assumption that there is already more than enough of that on the airways and here in the OS.  What few contributions I've been moved to make are listed here. 

Holocaust Museum Shooting Refers to "Intelligence" Project   How Does It Feel?   Rupert Murdoch Issues an Apology   John Legend's Open Letter to the New York Post   No Small Measure of Pride - The Image Awards   The Inauguration of Barack Obama  

Humor:  Zuma suggested her own Open Call and it was a lot of fun.   Who knew that I could be funny?   You tell me.

Music: When I get the felling and I want to share it.   There were others. ??!?  There will be more. 

Red Fringe and Music to Move You      

Poetry:  I've always been able to write poetry that rhymes, but this has been experimentation with vastly diffeent styles.   Much to learn here.
