I can’t wait! I am very excited about it! I don’t like the pain, but I love the results!!!! Pictures forthcoming. Hope everyones Saturday is rock awesome… booze it up, and have some fun!!!
Kathy Griffin was EXCELLENT last night. I could not be happier. I absolutely LOVE HER, and she was fucking hilarious. HILARIOUS. I am SO glad that we went and I know that if I get the chance to see her again, I will jump at the chance. She is just as funny in person, in fact, definitely more-so!!! The picture here is the best one that I got, it was really dark, and they didn’t allow cameras, so I pretty much had to sit in my seat and take it. I have to say though, that all of the seats were excellent, even though we were close to the back of the auditorium, the picture doesn’t do our view justice at all.
Also last night, as we were pulling into the parking lot, Lori noticed that her tire felt weird, and says, “I think my tire is flat!”. And sure enough, it was. So we parked, went to the show, and decided to change it when it was over. After the show, we came out, I changed the tire, and we went on our merry way. Good to know I can do manly things when necessary. I hate that Lori has to get a new tire, but I am extremely glad that we were with her so she didn’t have to call someone or anything like that. All in all, it was a dirty situation, but it was totally funny in the end. James took a funny picture of us with a tire iron, and when she posts it, I will be sure to link to it. Here’s hoping I don’t have to change any tires any time soon… even though I totally could…
Hey, ya’ll, it’s national coming out day. Let’s here it for the homos!!! Seriously though, coming out is a huge step in every gay person’s life, and isn’t something that should be looked upon lightly. It takes the utmost courage to stand up and declare who you are, especially in the face of potential judgment, bigotry, hatred, and in some unfortunate circumstances, harm. I know that it is no surprise to anyone that meets me that I am gay, and that may have always been the case, but it took a long time, and a lot of self reflection, pain, and mental turmoil to come to that conclusion myself. I am glad that I was able to finally come out and be myself, which is something that cannot be truly and accurately described to the point anyone that has not experienced it could truly understand; it is a feeling like you are reborn, and you finally get to be yourself. Unfortunately, in our society, this feeling of freedom, and in many cases, the first time you feel truly happy, comes with the feeling of being outcast, and shunned for the very same reason, which is definitely a shame. Hopefully, one day, we will all live in a world where people can be themselves without fear, and coming out will just be a natural part of a gay person’s life; rather than something that threatens it. Here’s to all us gays, and to all of you that haven’t yet come out (either to yourself, or others), being out and proud takes a lot of guts, and it is a continual process, but it is one that is definitely worth it. Proud. Out. Gay. That’s me!
