Published by November 24th, 2009 in blog on blog, five song friday, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 15 CommentsIt seems that it is always the few that have to ruin it for all of the others.

Maine votes against gay marriage: some thoughts
Published by November 4th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, politics, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 7 CommentsYesterday, 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 [...]
a (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.

my awesome day, starring the hot water heater
Published by October 21st, 2009 in happenings, home improvement, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 6 CommentsThis morning, I woke up like normal, took a shower like normal, and then went into the bathroom to brush my teeth, also like normal. When I walked towards the bathroom door, I stepped in what I thought was a fresh patch of pee, and before I could even chastise Mr. Pickles for ruining my [...]

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 [...]
if you can’t say something nice
Published by September 8th, 2009 in all about me, show the love and venting. 2 Comments… you aren’t supposed to say anything at all, right?
Well, that’s good advice for where I am at right now. Whether it is just general malaise for things that are going on around me, or outright disgust for others, I don’t have much in the way of positive words of wisdom right now; and I’m [...]
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 [...]

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, [...]
