new york city: the trip, the story, the post that follows
Published by July 16th, 2008 in all about me, friends, happenings, mixed media, near and dear, photography, show the love, that is so gay and venting. 11 CommentsAs I mentioned in my previous two posts, we went to NYC for a little vacation, and despite a horrible 10+ hour delay in LaGuardia, we are back. Fun was had, sweat was shed, feet were hurt, subways were ridden, food was eaten, money was spent, and all of that made for some great stories [...]
pride is sin-sational!
Published by July 5th, 2008 in civil rights, happenings, near and dear, show the love and that is so gay. 5 CommentsI thought it appropriate to post my picture I took last year at Pride, of my buddy Josh showing the Christian nutjobs where to stick it, as we head out to the festival this afternoon.
Hope everyone has a great Pride. Who knew that celebrating diversity and unity could be so fun!?
Happy Pride!
This weekend was James’ 30th birthday!!!
So, we went up to a cabin in the middle of NOWHERE about 1 hour from Chattanooga. It was a quaint and cute little place. I surprised James by inviting his mom and dad to come and meet us there on Saturday night.
He had no idea until they knocked on [...]
brothers and sisters and mother’s day
Published by May 12th, 2008 in all about me, near and dear and that is so gay. 7 CommentsThe season finale of Brothers and Sisters was magnificent. The wedding between Kevin and Scotty was gorgeous and touching. It was moving to see two men get married on TV, and it be treated as a joyous event. I couldn’t help but find it a bit fitting, though, that it aired on Mother’s day, and [...]

The show was amazing, and now [...]
green tea heaven
Published by May 7th, 2008 in concerts, flickr, happenings, hotness, listen up!, music musings, near and dear, photography and show the love. 3 CommentsI have found it; today, I had the best green tea frozen yogurt I have ever tasted. After lunch at Doc Chey’s, my buddy Deb and I wandered over the Yoforia to sample the “Italian frozen yogurt”, and after a small sample of the green tea flavor, we eagerly decided that is what we should [...]
welcome back, old friend!
Published by May 1st, 2008 in concerts, flickr, happenings, listen up!, mixed media, music musings, music suggestion, near and dear and photography. 0 CommentsI had to take a detour on the way to work today, because of the unpredictable Atlanta traffic practically shutting down 85N. I was sitting still on the exit from 20E, and I thought, “self, let’s just go down to University, and then pop back up Boulevard”. Well, low and behold, during my little detour, [...]
what’s going on with me these days
Published by April 22nd, 2008 in all about me, concerts, happenings, music musings and near and dear. 6 CommentsBasically, I had an “epiphany” yesterday. I put it in quotations, because I have thought about it many times, but it never seemed like such a good idea until yesterday. Basically, I think that I should just focus on getting my RN, and then worrying about the BSN after I am already working in nursing. [...]
