About me - Stephen Surgener

"A man of faith steps into the void grinning"

Yes, I am a man of faith, but also very much human. Anyone who has been through enough of my writing will surely attest to this. Still, my passion for writing has proven a life long companion, and despite the abuse

Arts & Humanities > Dance Styles Commentary: The sexual character of popular dance today: 10 of 15
Dance has always played the roll of cultural reflection. Ball room dancing, and waltz, brings to mind images of buttoned down European cultures. The Cancan displaying French attributes, was rivaled in popularity, only by Tango, and Salsa of Latino origin. Dance reflecting cultural trends, can be traced back to Biblical times... More..
Creative Writing > Satire Satire: Life: 39 of 57
By the standards of most, I am a simple kind of guy. I drink my coffee black, beer cold or warm, and if the dog's willing to eat it, then it wont kill me. It's my way of bringing a little peace to the world. Enough people take it personal that Jack's lawn isn't short enough, or Jill's car hasn't been washed since the mid 80s... More..
Home & Garden > Real Estate (Other) Qualities to look for in a neighborhood: 67 of 81
"It's the little things that count." A wisdom passed on to me from my Grandmother. In respect to potential neighborhoods, it holds tremendous value. Well kept lawns, and manicured hedges don't reveal it. Well lit streets, and couples walking hand in hand don't either. If you truly want to determine the quality of life in a n... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study The Bible and its interpretation: 50 of 60
The Bible stands alone, as one of the most purchased, least read books known to man. It is this single fact which accounts for issues of "interpretation". Non contextualized verses, spawning into theories, growing into beliefs, bastardizing the message. It is true of any writing, this article not withstanding. Take out a lin... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Words: 219 of 260
Lustful longing top razors edge Breath captured within prisons fear Surely plotted you to this ledge By spoken word upon your ear Laughter's voice cast to windy trail Death bestowed upon sorrows tear Upon mountain clouds you prevail By spoken word upon your ear Depths unknown forgotten sorrow Absent all hope who'll travel he...

Business > Human Resources Great ways to show employee appreciation: 18 of 21
Being the owner of a small business, or manager within a large corporation, makes little difference to the importance of employee moral. Costs associated with turnover, productivity, company loyalty, customer service, and quality control, are all dictated by the employee. One of the simplest measures that can be taken to ens... More..
Autos > Motorcycles & Scooters How to choose the right motorcycle: 6 of 7
On nearly any given week, I can view the for sale adds of my local paper and find otherwise new motorcycles for sale. Descriptive words like "low miles" and "only ridden once" are synonyms for "I bought the wrong bike". Unless you're an experienced rider, the allure of pounding pipes, and high speed cornering can often overr... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Biblical role of husbands: 7 of 8
The institution of marriage was established by God. Male and female, coming together as one flesh, each with a specific roll to play. It is a principle of creation found across the galaxy, all the way down to molecular interactions. The principle of balance. Should the balance sway between gravitational pull, and the orbit o...

Home & Garden > Home Repair (Other) Home repair: Do it yourself!: 53 of 57
It has been 4 years since purchasing your near dream home. It's Saturday morning, and the mere thought of the turquoise commode adorning the master bath, invokes visions of 10 gallon per flush water bills, and memories of summers at Grandma's house. That's it! A quick trip to the home warehouse for a new toilet, a couple of ... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Death wish: 54 of 58
It was simply too much. I just couldn't hold it in anymore. All at once, my chuckling gave way to all out laughter that could be heard throughout the bar. "What is so funny?" I thought, "Is it the look on Neanderthal man's face, or the fact I'm going to die in this dump?" My mind quickly rewound to three days prior, to the b... More..
