I Used To Be Insecure...

I Used To Be Insecure... by Spencer Hamilton on Saturday, December 17, 2011 at 12:25am I used to be insecure I used to be VERY insecure I used to be ALARMINGLY insecure I used to be insecure because I didn't see the beauty that is mine I used to be insecure about my eyes They weren't hazel brown like my brother's Til I saw that through these eyes I see the world as beautiful I used to be insecure about speaking Standard American aka 'Proper' English I didn't fit in with the neighborhood, I spoke a different language Then i ran into people who were different and appreciated me as me. It made me learn to express myself fully as a person I used to be insecure about being talkative People said I talked too much and should shut up Then I realized that I could make shy people feel at ease and open up to me, and enjoy talking to me because I also listen I used to be insecure about my lips Other kids would call me fish lips and shame me Until I realized ...

Spencer The Pilot Part III

Spencer The Pilot part III by Spencer Hamilton on Saturday, December 17, 2011 at 6:28pm Part III We were in the sky, feeling like we were on that dragon from The Neverending Story, or the one played by Wayne Knight from Xiaolin Showdown. We could see beneath us, it looked like a map of the US. . I looked down at our lifeboat, amazed that this little rickety thing was here floating in the air as if it were a plane or something. The sky was lavender and I could see two figures in the sky, two moons. Those moons are kind of close I thought      “Don’t worry those moons are closer than they look but they are a safe enough distance away” Senegal said, looking at Will and I “We’ve got to get to a higher altitude. It’s going to strain you a little bit but if you can get through it, you’ll be acclimated to this place” He said. Acclimated…right, we have to get used to this place. It reminded me of how one guy I know would open the bag the fish was ...

Spencer The Pilot Part II

Hey everyone, I'm back with Part 2 of the story, I desire some constructive criticism if you are able to offer any. This is an original adventure inspired by Rupert Bear and adventure shows that were fun and exciting for me to watch as a kid. Enjoy! Part II      “Aaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaa!” I screamed as my horse landed on its side and all I could think is Five hundred pounds resting on my leg. Milo struggled to get on his feet as I tried to get to mine; next I know I’m hanging upside down close to the horse’s belly. I suddenly remembered Robin Hood Men in Tights and then righted myself on him, for some reason I could feel a vibe that he was moody. You have a right to be moody I thought I was on my way to writing a ConnecTube video and I’m here      “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaahhhhhhhhhaaaaa!” I grabbed Milo’s reigns and had him run a few feet to see Will tumble out and his horse a few feet away from him. Will grunted and ...

Spencer The Pilot Part 1

Spencer The Pilot Part 1 by Spencer Hamilton on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 at 9:06pm This is was born of my yearning for cartoons like Rupert, Scooby Doo, Tin Tin and things that were fun and entertaining on television. I wanted to write about a character that had two Dads that would also remind me of myself. I wanted to share this because I wanted to also get some constructive criticism as well as how to make it better. I am currently writing part 2 and I wanted to get SOME of my writing out there to my lovely Facebook friends! Spencer Pilot I looked at my camera that I hoped to record some videos on      “Is this thing on?” I said, looking in it then saw my face superimposed on the screen “Will?” I asked      “What is it now?” He said, still fiddling with the computer, I looked at the computer screen and paused at my nose      “Why didn’t you tell me I had a cliffhanger?” I felt around for some Kleenex I kep...

Ed Watson, Diagnosed with Alzheimer's Dies While Awaiting 9th Circuit Decision re: Prop 8

Spencer Hamilton on Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 10:25pm Hello Everyone, While I wished that my next note would be Part 3 to my Spencer Pilot Story (it's coming soon and you all can critique it) I have some sad news. A face, a person, a real live human being has passed away while the 9th Circuit Court is deciding the Prop 8 case. At issue are: Should the tapes be revealed? Yes, I feel it would be a blow to transparency in the Justice System not to do so and Should Judge Walker's ruling be vacated/overturned? No, the fact that he is one of the affected individuals doesn't weigh in on his impartiality, unless one can prove it through the court records and tapes. Next, should the tapes be released? I feel that if Cooper wants to prove he wasn't impartial then the tapes would be the best way to show it. The Human Cost After hearing and researching Prop 8, I became intensely engrossed in the fight for gay rights in CA, one of my Youtube subscriptions f...

A Dream I Had To Share

Spencer Hamilton on Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 7:32am   Last night I had a weird dream, but it wasn’t exactly all that weird. I noticed my Darryl was largely absent from this dream, and some details were also a little weird It all begins when I lived back on Broadway and Hickory Street, in my room I remember going there and having a cat, which weren’t allowed in the building. I remember seeing the cat underwater and thinking that I really miss them.  I was looking at footage of this cat too, while Sia’s Breathe Me was playing (it was used in SFU’s series finale) Next, I was in a house with a woman and two children, I felt I knew them through someone else and I chewed out one of the kids for trying to bully the other one in the bathroom. There was a golden retriever I remember petting and just being happy to have him. The House was pretty big too,  as if it were meant for a family, but I think I was the only one there at the time.  The house I foun...
