Yesterday, Maine’s vote sent a(nother) clear message to me: gay people do not matter to the majority of Americans. I am sure that many will argue that this is not the position of most Americans, but the message is too clear to ignore. Our civil rights are constantly up for debate, and constantly, we have [...]

Published by November 4th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, politics, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 7 Commentsa (queer) monday menagerie
Published by October 26th, 2009 in civil rights, hmm interesting, is it just me?, music musings, near and dear, politics, show the love, that is so gay, venting, wtf?! and you tube. 4 Comments- 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 [...]
so you’ve known all along?
Published by September 24th, 2009 in all about me, is it just me?, mixed media, near and dear and that is so gay. 4 CommentsIt is no secret that I have been thoroughly enjoying the new show Glee, that it seems everyone is talking about. However, this post really isn’t about Glee. While I find the show funny, sweet, endearing, the times where it has proven to be an intimate portrait of real life are what have really struck [...]
shakira in a sparkly vagina cave
Published by September 21st, 2009 in is it just me?, music musings and you tube. 2 CommentsI wouldn’t consider myself a fan of Shakira’s new song, She Wolf, and the video isn’t really something that I would consider my cup of tea. I’m not referring to her hyper-sexuality in the video, nor her basically thrashing around in almost no clothing (a flesh colored outfit! I get it!). I’m talking about [...]
Atlanta Eagle raid reponse: I’m calling bullshit
Published by September 15th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, that is so gay, well? and wtf?!. 7 CommentsThe Chief of the Atlanta police says that the reason the Eagle was raided is because of complaints of (as well as undercover cops witnessing) sex acts and drugs being used. Yet, interestingly enough, no drugs were found when the raid happened. Perhaps most importantly, and why I am calling total and utter bullshit on [...]
a lot of little things really add up
Published by September 11th, 2009 in civil rights, hmm interesting, is it just me?, that is so gay, venting and wtf?!. 3 CommentsI 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 [...]
windows activation required
Published by September 2nd, 2009 in is it just me?, listen up!, shiny stuff, well? and wtf?!. 6 CommentsI have a problem with my PC… can you help?! (And if you say, “get a Mac”, you should “get a life”, because I have one.)
So I noticed my desktop background was gone the other day, and I also noticed a new notice from Windows Vista on the right side of the tool bar, where [...]
two things I would do differently, if I were in a band
Published by August 18th, 2009 in all about me, concerts, get over it!, is it just me?, music musings, venting and wtf?!. 6 CommentsLast night, I went with James and Broderick to see the amazing Bat For Lashes at the Loft, and she was, well, amazing (albeit, a bit strange… she really takes being “alternative” seriously). I really enjoyed her set (Natasha Khan was admittedly outstanding live), and even the opening band, Other Lives, was quite amazing as [...]
Yelp: a(nother) soapbox for bigots?
Published by August 5th, 2009 in all about me, blog on blog, civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 15 CommentsImagine my surprise when someone requested to be friends with me on Yelp today, and I find out that he is writing extremely hurtful and bigoted remarks about me in one of his “reviews”. Not only did he post the review, but after it was taken down, he was allowed to remain member of Yelp, [...]
teacher furloughs: a new low for Perdue
Published by July 23rd, 2009 in get involved, is it just me?, near and dear, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 5 CommentsWhen James mentioned that they were going to be asking teachers to take 3 unpaid days to “make up for a huge deficit”, I honestly thought he was joking. Since he is teacher, I have had a first hand account of out what really goes on inside the schools, and it actually blows my mind [...]
