- 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 [...]

Published by October 7th, 2009 in all about me, cream of the crop, hmm interesting, music musings, near and dear, show the love and that is so gay. 7 CommentsAfter 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 [...]

weekend walk through the park
Published by September 28th, 2009 in flickr, near and dear, photography and show the love. 7 CommentsYesterday, James and I took the doggies out to the park for a nice walk, and I took my camera, and snapped some great pictures. Here are a few of them: This was actually Mr. Pickles’ first visit to the doggie park. He had a lot of fun, while Sydney did his typical, “why are [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
sotd: LeAnn Rimes – What I Cannot Change
Published by July 13th, 2009 in all about me, listen up!, music musings, music suggestion, near and dear and song of the day. 3 CommentsI wanted to post about this song, not only because it is incredibly beautiful, but because it really means something to me. LeAnn Rimes’ What I Cannot Change so succinctly sums up such a major issue for me, and does so with such elegance and grace, that it can’t be ignored. One listen to this [...]
with a “role model” like this…
Published by June 24th, 2009 in blog on blog, civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, near and dear, politics, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 5 CommentsWho needs enemies? ESPECIALLY when this particular “role model” is nothing but a non-celebrity that is using his crass, bitchy, and bitter attitude to do nothing but bring the rest of us down to his level. Unfortunately, the person I am speaking of, is faux-celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, and his latest stunt that is bringing [...]
um, thanks… FOR NOTHING
Published by June 18th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, near and dear, politics, that is so gay, venting, well? and wtf?!. 0 CommentsIt seems that my outrage yesterday was a little less than it should have been. Turns out, the gesture Obama tried to placate us with, was worth nothing: The memorandum Obama signed Wednesday is not expected to grant health and retirement benefits to same-sex partners, as that is prohibited under the Defense of Marriage Act.

another, this time local, victim of hate
Published by April 21st, 2009 in listen up!, near and dear, that is so gay, tragic and wtf?!. 3 CommentsThis completely breaks my heart: 11 year old boy named Jaheem Herrera, commits suicide to escape bullying and taunting from fellow classmates (h/t to my friend Joey who posted the link earlier this afternoon). I don’t know if anyone even read the piece that I wrote last week about this EXACT thing happening to another [...]
