I think back for a moment, then remember New York. Jumping from city to city and oftentimes country to country, reminding me once again I’m not even sure what city I’m in at the moment. My mom had been so excited, but I had no idea what was really happening. Since some man discovered me, as they say, when I was only five. I should know how this works since I’ve been doing it for almost fifteen years. I tilt my head at just the right angle for this lighting. I turn my head slightly, giving the photographer what he wants. I often feel like I’m going to mess something up when I’m there. It was done how my mom had told them to do it, so it was more her than me. Instead a designer was sent in and the style didn’t fit me at all. Although I’ve been there for some time, I’ve never had the time to set it up. My feet are starting to throb, and I want nothing more than to go home, but I know that won’t be happening any time soon. I’ve been on the set for ten hours now and we’re on my ninth wardrobe change. The photographer snaps his fingers for me to look in his direction.

But as a closeted gay man living in a violently homophobic world, Greg lived in fear: fear that coming out would mean sacrificing his career and reputation, and fear that by not speaking out he was perpetuating the status-quo. Athleticism was an area in which he thrived-he was in control, he could prove his worth, and he would show the world what he was capable of. Adopted at nine months, Greg spent most of his life fighting colorism in his community and struggling with late-detected dyslexia. In his tell-all autobiography Greg invites readers into the harrowing, inspirational true story of his life on and off the diving board. But there was more happening beneath the surface… By all accounts, the world was his for the taking.

Dad is Fat is sharply observed, explosively funny, and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home. In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who s best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets. From new parents to empty nesters to Jim's twenty-something fans, everyone will recognize their own families in these hilarious takes on everything from cousins (celebrities for little kids) to growing up in a big family (I always assumed my father had six children so he could have a sufficient lawn crew) to changing diapers in the middle of the night (like The Hurt Locker but much more dangerous) to bedtime (aka Negotiating with Terrorists). But it turns out 140 characters are not enough to express all the joys and horrors of life with five kids, so he's now sharing it all in Dad Is Fat. Those tweets struck such a chord that he soon passed the million followers mark. Five kids later, the comedian whose riffs on everything from Hot Pockets to Jesus have scored millions of hits on YouTube, started to tweet about the mistakes and victories of his life as a dad. But all that changed when he married and found out his wife, Jeannie is someone who gets pregnant looking at babies. Though he grew up in a large Irish-Catholic family, Jim was satisfied with the nomadic, nocturnal life of a standup comedian, and was content to be that weird uncle who lives in an apartment by himself in New York that everyone in the family speculates about. Jim Gaffigan never imagined he would have his own kids. The family properties (one owned by her grandfather, another given to her father by her grandfather) were about ninety miles from Washington, D.C., and fifty miles from prosperous plantation regions like Loudon County. Willa Cather was born in an interesting spot in the mountains of Virginia, near Winchester, on the banks of a tributary of the Potomac, Back Creek. My Ántonia is one of her best-loved books, and it displays all the characteristics that make Cather both elusive and fascinating even as it depicts a world that vanished almost as soon as the novel was published. Forty-five years is a long career for a novelist, but she possessed an intensity of observation and a curiosity about human psychology, especially as it relates to nature, that never waned. Her last novel appeared in 1940, and a volume of three more stories was published in 1948, shortly after she died. Cather’s first book of poetry came out in 1903, when she was twenty-nine her first book of stories followed a couple years later, when she was thirty-one. Willa Cather was not a flashy stylist, and though she was ambitious in her work, she did not attach it to a publicity-worthy life like some of her contemporaries, such as Ernest Hemingway and F. Weyland has written over 25 books since Charly was first published in 1980, yet it remains his best known work. Weyland, who points to Neil Simon, Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck as his literary influences, is noted for his natural and humorous dialogue. Although his place in literature is hotly debated, Weyland is recognized by literary critics for his immeasurable influence on popular Latter-day Saint literature, and he was awarded a special Association for Mormon Letters (AML) award in 1983. Weyland's Charly has the distinction of being the best-selling LDS novel in history. This contemporary romantic comedy set in Utah tells the story of Sam, a student at BYU, and his often perplexing, always amusing romance with an enigmatic young convert named Charly. The film is based on Jack Weyland's Latter-day Saint novel Charly. "Charly" is currently in development by Kaleidoscope Pictures of Pleasant Grove, Utah.
