Blog Surfing #3

While I was doing a little research I came across a site Coming Out Australia, (you can guess, right) anyway, they had this posted (below) which the person writing the post said, and I quote:
 
“I came across this little story on GLWA’s facebook page which was sourced from craigslist.
It was well written and it prompted me to post it here and to mention the great timing of it for the launch of the amazing campaign “No To Homophobia”"
And I found that it was funny, and unfortunately to true. It’s a little quip that shows a funny side of homophobia and I always find it’s that side that makes people talk and tell and what helps spread the word, so I’m reposting it here, for you, hope it sinks in and that you enjoy....

A Few Tips for the Straight Guy
A mutual friend of ours threw a big party for her 30th birthday, tons of people were there and it was a lot of fun. Somewhere along the line you and I ended up on the balcony for some fresh air at the same time. We started chatting; we talked about sports, books, tv — discovered we both are about to start our masters degrees and spent
some time debating the pro’s and con’s of the educational system. We talked about hanging out sometime, and you wanted to meet my girlfriend.

Waiting in Wednesday #22

You all know what’s going on, so let’s get going....

Twenty years ago, the robots designed to fight our wars abandoned the battlefields. Then they turned their weapons on us.

Only a few escaped the robot revolution of 2071. Kevin, Nick, and Cass are lucky —they live with their parents in a secret human community in the woods. Then their village is detected and wiped out. Hopeful that other survivors have been captured by bots, the teens risk everything to save the only people they have left in the world—by infiltrating a city controlled by their greatest enemies.

Revolution 19 is a cinematic thriller unlike anything else. With a dynamic cast of characters, this surefire blockbuster has everything teen readers want—action, drama, mystery, and romance. Written by debut novelist Gregg Rosenblum, this gripping story shouldn’t be missed
