This is a series where I discuss topics of the day. Nothing is out of bounds here. Racism, police shootings, homosexuality, politics, and so on. Never be afraid to discuss things out of your comfort zone. These problems don't fix themselves.

I have been thinking a lot about sex. I concluded it's something like Disney meets BDSM meets education. Here I'm going to show you how sex in our culture is shaping who you are. I felt compelled to share this collection of my blog posts on Wattpad. Why? To raise awareness to what's going on. Keep reading. No matter if you're a boy or a girl, a child, teen or adult, there's something here for you: your sexuality is being impacted as we speak. Open your eyes and your heart. Take no bullshit. __________________________________ Note: Due to the nature of the subjects covered in this series, it contains graphic material.

WATTY 2016 WINNER of the HQ Love Award! With national focus on Islamic terrorism, few noticed when "Domestic Terrorist" Clayton Waagner was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List on September 21, 2001. How did a software developer become the 467th person added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List? Why did the FBI make Waagner a priority ten days after the worst terrorist attack in American history? How did he become the only person ever listed on the nation's top three Most Wanted List: FBI, U.S. Marshals, and ATF? Clay Waagner led an interesting life. He pranked a Soviet ship and caused a Cold War incident inside the Arctic Circle. He is a licensed pilot, an artist, a husband of 40 years and the father of nine. He worked for the Christian Broadcasting Network and skippered a commercial fishing boat out of Kodiak, Alaska. He has escaped from custody five times. Criminal Science major's and convicts know his name, but few in the public do. This is his story. "Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying." George Orwell By Orwell's standard this is an honest memoir. Clay Waagner 2016

Sweet Lois Phinney hasn't had a lot of luck with the opposite sex. When her mother and nosy next door neighbor try to encourage her to get out there. Lois decides to become the master her own destiny. This is a short story I had written almost 20 years ago but continued on at the request of some amazing people who encouraged me to do so. It was partially written as a joke for my mother, who thinking I'd remain single forever, tried to play match maker on more than one occasion. Epic Fail! Posting this is memory of my Mom, who always had my back and who read this and loved it. Probably because I'm her kid, but it made her laugh and that's all I wanted. Wish she could have read the final product. Love you Mama. Votes are cool, comments are better.

Is Wattpad a good or bad thing? Are the people on here writers or do they just think they are? Whatever your answer to those questions there are a lot of mysteries surrounding Wattpad and the people that choose to write here. Every day thousands of you get on your computer and chase Wattpad all day long looking for something. What are you looking for and is Wattpad the place for you? I think we should all take a good look at these questions and try to answer them the best we can. It's time to be honest with ourselves. I am going to pose some questions here and make some observations that you might find not to your liking. It's okay. You'll live. Let's be honest with each other and see where this goes. Join me. Let's chase Wattpad together.

My thoughts when I have time. Inspired to write by my son.

What's best of both worlds? Being able to speak two languages! Well I mean if you count slang & profanity as a language, then you'll be okay. Lmfao enjoy fuckers.

What is new about how teenagers communicate through services such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? Do social media affect the quality of teens' lives? In this eye-opening book, youth culture and technology expert danah boyd uncovers some of the major myths regarding teens' use of social media. She explores tropes about identity, privacy, safety, danger, and bullying. Ultimately, boyd argues that society fails young people when paternalism and protectionism hinder teenagers' ability to become informed, thoughtful, and engaged citizens through their online interactions. Yet despite an environment of rampant fear-mongering, boyd finds that teens often find ways to engage and to develop a sense of identity. Boyd's conclusions are essential reading not only for parents, teachers, and others who work with teens but also for anyone interested in the impact of emerging technologies on society, culture, and commerce in years to come. Offering insights gleaned from more than a decade of original fieldwork interviewing teenagers across the United States, boyd concludes reassuringly that the kids are all right. At the same time, she acknowledges that coming to terms with life in a networked era is not easy or obvious. In a technologically mediated world, life is bound to be complicated.
