I image all that can be accomplished by utilizing this blog for something GOOD.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;I have an idea for a book.  But, I need the help of complete strangers to accomplish my goal of writing such a book.  I propose to solicit the help of Gay men across the planet to send me their most Happy and also their most Heartbreaking story.  True stories only, please.  I want to combine a jumble of real-life stories of ordinary (or even extraordinary) Gay men into a novel that can be shared with countless others by way of a book (I know, books are so Old School).  It is my goal in life to write a book and publish it in my lifetime.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;Just fresh from celebrating my fortieth birthday last month, I can see no reason why I shouldn't begin this quest.  I've had this book idea in the back of my mind for several years now.  But, I just wasn't motivated to write... until today.  I read a few postings at WilWheaton.net and was inspired.  Thank you, Wil!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;Here is where the adventure begins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;If anyone out there has an emotionally charged story that they would like to share with the world (I intend to write a damn good book that WILL be published), I encourage you post a little something here.  I'll be checking my blog frequently.  Eventually I'll probably have to create a new email account to link it here for anyone who wishes to contact me directly with stories.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;This project is in its infancy and this is my first attempt at creating a blog, so be gentle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;I look forward to reading your posts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;Be good!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11260289-111007273194124308?l=thedavid.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedavid.blogspot.com/feeds/111007273194124308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11260289&amp;postID=111007273194124308' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11260289/posts/default/111007273194124308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11260289/posts/default/111007273194124308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedavid.blogspot.com/2005/03/in-beginning.html' title='In the beginning...'/><author><name>The Guardian of the Universe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16890869970368694553</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
