national coming out day!!!

Marriage is love.

Happy National Coming out day… This day was started after a successful run of protests on Washington (one of which occurred on October 11, 1987), where it was identified that all gays and lesbians needed a day to be nationally recognized. So, if you are in the closet, step out into the light; today is your day!!! I can definitely say, that as someone who is out to family, friends, co-workers, etc, I feel so lucky that I can proudly be who I am.

I would write out my coming out story, but it is kind of long, and luckily, I have already done so; back when Queer as Folk ended!! Here is the link, if you want to check it out! Hopefully, my story may inspire someone else to come out as well; because we ALL deserve to be happy and proud of who we are.

**Oh yeah, and if you have something hateful to say, keep it to your fucking self; I have heard enough hate in my life, and I don’t want it submitted to my website. I am proud of who I am, and if you don’t like it, then that is your problem.

UPDATE: (please read)
I put in that last part, because of a hateful comment that I got earlier today. Someone that posted a comment called “YO” yesterday in Spanish had this to say:

“No me jodas que esto es un site de maricones.” or
Do not fuck with (Your fucking me) me that this is a site for faggots.
“Y yo que pensaba que era un blog serio.” or
And I thought it was a serious blog.

All I have to say is, you are an ignorant, hateful, selfish human being. I don’t hate you, I feel sorry for you. I am proud of who I am, and nothing you can ever say will change that. You are the one that is small. And you will ALWAYS be that way. And who can say that a site that brings you tidbits and photos of Jake Gyllenhaal, commentary on pretty much everything pop, and a category dedicated solely to Britney and Kevin, is NOT SERIOUS? HA!

And, oh yeah, and FUCK OFF!!!
(sorry to have to taint such a good thing with something bad, but I talked with my friend Josh, and he suggested that I put it out there, and after thinking about it, I thought so too, cause this way, you can see what an idiot “YO” is, as well.)

Columbus day; what are we celebrating?

by  •  • 10 Comments

– We are celebrating a man who “discovered” a continent, that not only was “discovered” thousands of years prior by other peoples, but was inhabited for possibly millions of years by the indigenous people that were already living there. So, he really didn’t discover anything, did he?

– We are celebrating a man that ushered in a new world, bringing Spanish rule to a place that was governed by its own rules; and if those people resisted, they were instantly subjected to genocide and slavery. So, he really didn’t usher in a new world, so much as conquer and pillage one that he found already occupied.

it’s payday, but it doesn’t even matter…

by  •  • 10 Comments

For some reason that I cannot identify, I am feeling kind of down today, even though it is payday. I tend to do this every once and I while; fill myself with doubt and anxiety about shit I cannot control (i.e., job, money, etc.), and accidentally downplay and or ignore all the good things in my life (i.e., everything else). To top it all off, when I was paying my bills on Bank of America’s website (yay! paying bills is super-fun), I saw this link that calculates what it would take for you to retire a millionaire; and, being a glutton for punishment, I clicked it. And this is what it said:

lost on LOST, and my newest TV obsession…

by  •  • 7 Comments

Okay, I must admit, there were several times last year, when I was watching Lost, and thought, “this show is really weird, but is it good?”. Before this season had started, I gave back into the JJ Abrams quotient (you DO know that Alias is my fav, and Felicity is one of the best shows ever, right?), and settled in for a weird, but good season. But last night, that feeling was back: this show is weird, but is it any good?
To go in the scary hatch, or not?
Case and point: whether or not to push that button. I honestly must say that my response is a resounding, I DON’T CARE!!!!!

well?

to advertise, or not?

by  •  • 7 Comments

I have been reading this morning about advertising programs, like Adsense by Google, and have been wondering if any of these programs would actually be for me. First off, I must say that the very reason that I bothered purchasing my own web domain and hosting service, is so that I wouldn’t have to see those pop ups, as well as so I wouldn’t be so limited by the space on a free account. With that being said, I am not totally against banner ads and ad links; especially if they were to pay for the hosting service fees, and be somewhat minimal. I believe that would make enough of a difference, to me at least, and I wouldn’t cringe at the site of those ads; in fact, I might grow to love them. So why don’t I just sign up, and start advertising, you ask??? Well, I want to know what other people think.

how goes it, you ask?

I am sure that you all are dying to know; is he keeping up with his workout?? Well, after an unfortunate nosebleed that kept me away last night (damn this dry Atlanta weather… guess it’s time to get out the humidifier), I was back in full force tonight, doing 15 on the treadmill, 3 back and bi exercises, 100 sit ups, and 10 minutes on the bike. With this pace, I will be back to my old self in no time.

Strangely enough, the Y reminds me a lot of the ECU rec center; which is a good thing, that is where I got so serious about working out and maintaining it in the first place. Now, what you were really waiting for, more gratuitous man torso! (click on read more for the torso-liciousness)

a tuesday triple threat!!

by  •  • 13 Comments

A trio, if you will, of things for you today:

We finally joined the Y last night. Thank God. It is official, work out is ON! My thighs are singing (picture it!), but my waist is lamenting. I know that most people keep saying that they cannot even tell that I have gained any weight, but it is there, oh yes, it is there. And it is going bye-bye. Weights lifted last night: 4 exercises (chest and tri’s); exercise tonight: Spin class, 6-7. HOOOWAH!
A little more like this, please
It’s good to have goals!

Last night, when we got home from the gym, I was cooking spaghetti (one of my favorite things), and when I went to stir the sauce, it spattered out at me like a bullet to my neck, and managed to cause a HUGE blister that can only be described as a 2nd or 3rd degree burn. Who knew that cooking could be this dangerous? Apparently, simmering the sauce was not what I was doing. Luckily, I managed to shut my eye when it happened, because the other droplet of lava hit my eyelid. Luckily, I can still see, and there is no blister there.

another theory regarding the first seven days…

by  •  • 0 Comments

Another account of what happened on those faithful first seven days. Perhaps we should teach this to our kids…

Day No. 1:
And the Lord God said, ?Let there be light,? and lo, there was light. But then the Lord God said, ?Wait, what if I make it a sort of rosy, sunset-at-the-beach, filtered half-light, so that everything else I design will look younger??
?I?m loving that,? said Buddha. ?It?s new.?
?You should design a restaurant,? added Allah.

now that I can see…

by  •  • 5 Comments

Last night was supposed to be an innocent night of fun with my good friends Ranye and David. First thing that happened, was not all that unexpected; James fell asleep, so he didn’t go out with us. Secondly, we went to hoedowns, proceeded to get shit faced; and then someone suggested we go to the eagle. Now, I have never been to the eagle, but I have heard lots of horror stories about how sketchy it is. Rayne says, “Think of it as an anthropological experience”. And so I did. The cultural anthropologist in me definitely took notice of the ass-less chaps and thong that one guy was wearing; but all in all, it wasn’t bad, in fact, it was nice to see an eclectic group of gay men hanging out together. Usually you just see all the pretty boys.
