About me - Jason Lusk

Books were my first love. When I went into music, at about the age of ten, I devoted myself to it but maintained my love of literature and, over time, fell more and more in love with writing.

After fifteen years in the music business, I retired from it for

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My best friend: 1 of 163

To A Friend Sometimes your thoughts overcrowd your head and you need to say what can't be said. Sometimes you feel old and need help to face the day, but your feelings go untold because it's something you'd never say. When the rain begins to pour and you find yourself on distant shores... Don't worry... Just write me a poem....
Arts & Humanities > Thoughts on Writing Why you're never too old to write: 4 of 57

A man in his early seventies walks along the beach morning and he thinks, "I should've written a book. I always wanted to. I should've done it." After seventy-some years in this world, he probably has one of two things, and possibly both: a head full of ideas and a ton of life experience. There's plenty for him to write abou...
Relationships & Family > Romance & Sexuality Why intimacy is worth waiting for: 1 of 12

A young man sits thinking of how many failed romances he's been through, and he says to the empty room, "I wish I'd waited." Most of us, when we've reached a certain age, can relate to this. In that moment, you're possibly lonelier than ever, and you think that no one else could possibly be the screw-up you are. But screw-up...
Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Marriage should be a sacred institution between only a woman and a man: 17 of 188

What is a marriage? Legal or common-law, a marriage is a lifelong commitment between two people who are willing to work to maintain the relationship and to sacrifice for each other. Can one find these attributes ONLY in a man-woman relationship? No. Why? Because whether we're homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, or whatever, ...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Blank page to inspiration: The writer's odyssey: 2 of 21

What is a greater stimulant for inspiration than the blank screen or the blank sheet of paper? What, as well, is a greater stimulant for fear? The blank page should never be taken lightly. Writing, even in a humorous context, is serious business. It encapsulates our loves, hates, fears, and everything we would never say alou...
Sciences > Sciences (Other) UFOs (unidentified flying objects): Fact or fiction?: 4 of 39

UFO means "unidentified flying object," and does not necessarily imply anything beyond that. If you see a kite high in the sky but can't tell what it is, it's technically an unidentified flying object. Many UFOs have become IFOs (identified flying objects), and have disappeared from the news and tabloids once their mystique ...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: An entire story using only one-syllable words: 2 of 19

Seeking Inspiration My dog lies on the floor and chews her toy as I watch the game. Guys and girls skate and try to pass those that block them to earn points. My dog does not know of or care for the game; she is lost in her toy. But it takes me back to my days as a kid, when I would wish that I could do such things. A part o...
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Who are you to judge others?: 11 of 101

I've met Muhannad three times now. Since seeing him today at my local bookstore, I've wondered if our meetings were Fate, for all three meetings were accidents. He is an exchange student from Palestine. It's easy for us to be friendly, for some reason. Maybe we just "click," as they say. He is the only Arab that I know. Thou...
Sciences > Astronomy Was the Apollo moon landing real or a hoax?: 1 of 9

As an American, I would like to believe that we walked on the moon; after all, it's part of our culture. But, having researched this for several years, I can't believe it. At the time, we were struggling with Russia. Both nations wanted to be the superpower in the world. And the belief was that whoever won the space race wou...
Relationships & Family > Marriage & Intimacy The need for emotional intimacy between spouses: 1 of 9

Emotional intimacy, to me, is a rather all-purpose term that is made up of smaller components. One must always remember that, in marriage, you're dealing with another person's thoughts and feelings every day and every night. Thoughts and feelings are breakable. It may take more with some than it would with others, but everyo...
