a (queer) monday menagerie

- Pride in Atlanta is this weekend, and I am kind of excited about being able to celebrate Pride weekend without the heat of June, and hopefully, without the torrential downpours that usually came along with it. Anyone going besides me?
- This blog post about the (possibly diminished) potentiality of Adam Lambert’s success in the [...]

madonna and me (too)

After reading Rich’s excellent blog post, Madonna and Me, about his life-long experiences regarding Madonna, I felt compelled to share it (go read it!! It’s excellent!), and say something (well, a lot of somethings) about how it eerily mirrors my own feelings, and the reasons behind those feelings, about her.
I have always had a “thing” [...]

a lot of little things really add up

I just took a survey in order for $20 credit added to my account for a website I bought a product from. To be quite honest, I was sort of offended that I was not given any option other than single, married, widowed, divorced, or separated in the relationship question field. Since none of those [...]

best buy promotion: be a tool-bag… for free!

Pictured above is the promotion Best Buy is running for the release of GH: Metallica; you buy the game, and you get a free “fake tattoo sleeve”. Seriously, Best Buy? Seriously?
Note to anyone that wears this shit: You are a tool-bag. I will mock you openly if I see you wearing such a ridiculous [...]

troubled times for satellite radio ahead?

I couldn’t help but be intrigued by this blog post that I read this morning, which if you are too lazy to read (it’s short!), suggests that satellite radio will not survive our current recession, and in fact, may be gone before 2009 comes to a close. I find myself wondering if I should fish [...]

existential thoughts

This morning on the way in to work, I think I starting thinking about things, and really started observing everyone around me. We were all on our way somewhere… but why? What was driving us (not the car, I’m not being that literal)?
What drives us, everyday, to stay in the same job, live in [...]

olympics, netvibes, and redefining contraceptives (REALLY?!)?

First up, how proud does it make you feel when you see people like Michael Phelps smashing world records and getting all of those gold medals!? I have to say, that it definitely makes me proud of him for what he has achieved. Also, I can’t seem to get past the bad mouthing that teams [...]

appetites and anxiety

It seems that lately, I have been quickly losing my appetite. I noticed it last week, but this week, I have been almost completely uninterested in eating. I don’t really know what is going on with this, but perhaps it will help me lose some weight; I weigh more than I ever have right now, [...]

the wrong way to act

I have been experiencing what seems like a big “fuck off” from customer service people lately. Perhaps it is because it is hot outside, or maybe something is in the water, but I feel like it has been happening more and more.
Specifically, places like the Kroger at Edgewood, the employees are consistently rude and flat [...]

simplicity

waking up
brushing teeth
taking pills
driving
talking
eating
leaving
sleeping
simple tasks
completed each day
happening so fast
without thought
without drive
without change
simple tasks
distract from the world around
buzzing
whirring around me
I am caught in slow motion
everything seems at a standstill
or I am moving so quickly
that it only seems to have slowed around
I am too caught in my flow
to notice the simplicity
the beauty
the difference
I am too caught [...]
