Welcome to Finley Experience

This website is dedicated to LGBT folks who are surviving in this crazy world.

What's good for one isn't necessarily good for another.

Attempting to control the hearts and souls of the masses through force and injustice only forces the seeds of dissension to grow. History has taught this lesson repeatedly. Perhaps, we'll learn the lesson this time.

Update on 2nd Annual Finley Experience International Views Contest

Apologies for the way late posting (24 August 2012)...

For the Second Annual Finley Experience International Views Contest, the winner is Russia!
That means Russia is the winner two years in a row! And, I now owe Russia a lot of poems.

Any country out there think they can take Russia for the Third Annual Finley Experience International Views Contest?

I'm already a couple of poems in debt to Russia, so, this works out well! More poems for Russia (cool prize, huh?) Fortunately, I've already got a couple in the works. Nope. I'm not telling. So quit asking. You'll know when they get here. ;)

Oh, and the Third International Views Contest began on the 1st of June! So, in the words of Ratrace: "Go! Go!" It ends 31 May 2013.

Finley Experience 2nd Annual "International Views" Contest

Hey Ya'll,

In case you were wondering about the contest, we're still rolling along. I owe Russia an apology and a number of additional poems (they only got one out of me last year). As it stands, Russia is well on the way to being the winner for a second year in a row. Now, Germany, you're trailing behind by nearly 400 views, there's still a couple of weeks left in the contest and as we all know the internet is a virus.

So, here's the Google Analytic standings as of 4:20 am 18 May 2012.


Russia
604
Germany
212
Ukraine
176
France
81
Slovenia
71
Italy
67
United Kingdom
64
Canada
50
Netherlands
47

Regardless of who wins, I still owe Russia a couple of poems. So, now that I've graduated, perhaps they'll flow easily.

Vale mea amici!
