About me - Anthony Ocasio

Hello! I am a newbie to this game. I've been writing and composing in my head since I was a young boy. For twenty years I've longed to have the time to sit down and write the crazy ideas that pop into my head on a regular basis, but the demands of work and

Parenting & Pregnancy > Teens (Other) Fathers: How to deal with a teen daughter's pregnancy: 1 of 16

The news hit me like a ton of bricks. My Little Girl was pregnant. I didn't know what to think or do. This was something that I, apparently, had been refusing to let myself think about. How could it have happened? My daughter was a straight "A" student, on the fast track to a scholarship at a good college. She worked hard at...
Arts & Humanities > Comic Books & Graphic Novels Who would win in a fight: Wolverine or Sabertooth?: 1 of 8

I love this debate for the simple reason that these are two of my favorite characters, and their battles are well documented. I'd never heard of Wolverine till he was introduced to me in a Daredevil story. His ferociousness and intensity had me searching out his comic books and I was hooked. First, lets take a good look at t...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: A Halloween trick gone wrong: 2 of 14

When the last bell of the day rang, Jacob could finally let himself relax. All day long he'd been dreading what would happen today, October 31st. The hints had been dropped on him like pellets from the sky. The cheerleaders, football players, even the chess club members had all been throwing comments his way since the beginn...
Autos > Cars First Chinese import coming to the US: Will the Chery be a lemon?: 2 of 9

Chery is a young auto manufacturer that was started up in 1997 by a handful of Chinese investors. It has the distinction of being the first totally owned and operated by Chinese auto manufacturer, as all others before it were a collaboration, of one kind or the other, of Chinese and foreign companies. The company began runni...
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Do I look like my dog?: 1 of 3

My wife asked me, once, why I picked my dog. Was it because I just liked large dogs? Or had I always wanted a large, horse-sized animal to live in the house? Looking over at Max, the black great Dane who was the subject of our conversation, I had to wonder myself. Why would anyone in their right mind want an animal that weig...
Autos > Motorcycles & Scooters Reflections on repairing used motorcycles: 1 of 3

Some people relax by playing golf. Others by doing crossword puzzles, or hiking through a forest. Not me. I'm one of the mildly masochistic souls who would rather take some, rusty, and discarded mechanical contrivance apart and attempt to bring it back to life. Call it a sickness, if you will. Whenever I see an abandoned car...
Autos > Motorcycles & Scooters How to customize motorcycles: 1 of 3

Motorcycles are a symbol of individuality to most people in the United States. In most parts of the world folks look at bikes as transportation, and then as a means of standing out. But here in the U.S., the vast majority of bike nuts are in it for the recreational aspects of motorcycle ownership. Not to say that there aren'...
Relationships & Family > Couple Communication Should a wife tell her husband about her romantic past?: 16 of 30

There is such a thing as too much honesty. You see it every day. In fact, the odds that you practice what I like to call a selective honesty, is more then good. Have you ever been asked how your day was, by a stranger at the checkout perhaps, and responded with a hearty, "Doing fine. How are you?" Admit it, we all have. This...
Autos > Hybrids What image does a hybrid car give its owner?: 8 of 13

The question of whether Hybrid cars are "cool" or not is almost nonsensical. Is it "cool" to decrease the level of pollution in our atmosphere? Is it "cool" to conserve fuel? Only a malcontent would say no to either of these questions. Now, I realize that the question of coolness probably has more to do with the exterior sty...
Computers & Technology > Tablets & Handheld Devices Why text messaging is so popular, even though it's impersonal: 12 of 18

The popularity of text messaging is a truly perplexing phenomenon to those of us who weren't raised in the late nineties and two thousands. Top in the puzzling department is the seeming impersonality of texting. Why would you want to type a conversation on a tiny little keypad, when you could just talk to that person? And on...
