What part of pop culture do you wish would just go away? Well, “go away” is a bit strong, but I wish reality television were shelved as a concept for a little while. Back when it was first starti...

Legacy

I suppose I didn’t explain myself very well in my last entry. I was overcome by my rant on privacy that I never actually got to balance out exactly what I was trying to say had happened. But I ha...

Bitter On the Vine

I know it’s not really clear from how I write, usually I zoom in on a specific topic and mention only the specifics (or talk around the specifics), but I’ve made a lot of changes lately. However,...

the Super Moon

Things weren’t easy for a while. In fact, they were as hard as they’d ever been in my life. However, I’ve gotten through to the other side. I stuck with my job and have now landed a better one, t...

Get Stupid

This week I kind of went outside myself and tried to observe my daily life from another’s point-of-view, mainly because someone remarked at how busy I seem to be. I realized that that is true. Th...

American Baby

You know, I came back here for many reasons. One of them was because of my family, but the other was because of the friends that I had here. However, as I have learned again and again, those rela...

Mine

Since I started back to the school I last attended three years ago, I’ve seen quite a few professors I knew, and occasionally a few students. Well, really only one student. She went to Paris with...

Thwomp Trap

You know, I’m pretty patient. I give people a lot of latitude when it comes to situations, but if someone does something so ridiculous and egregious, I find it nearly impossible to forgive. Sunda...

She's Not Me

In order to understand this entry, it will be helpful if you have read Pictures for Lovers of only because I’m going to be referencing people and events that I mentioned in that entry. Furthermor...

Music For Lovers

Someone gave me a unique challenge, so I thought I’d do it. Let me explain the challenge and why I’m going to do it. Someone asked me if I would do an entry of all the songs that meant something ...

Lie To Me

The other night, I initially thought about how nothing ever changes, but then I realized that far too much has changed, and although the outlines of situations might be the same, the way I inhabi...

You Know My Name

Saturday was my cousins’ baby shower. I know what you’re thinking, babies and I do not mix well, but I trusted my cousins enough to know that they wouldn’t do anything crazy to make me uncomforta...


You know, this whole situation I’m in actually affects me very little except for one way.... financially. Now, I’ve never really discussed money or finances, mostly because I feel like they’re qu...

In The Desert

June, 2007 - Chicago, Illinois I’d finally gotten into a house. I’d been homeless since I arrived in the city in the beginning of May, moving on a whim from Los Angeles after a brief stopover in ...

Silicon Avatar

I know I’ve been missing quite a bit this summer, but the head makes me listless and I can’t ever get my head together to write something appropriate. But that’s not all. An awful situation aros...

The Bitch

This might be an unsettling entry for some people… mainly because I’m going to refer, tangentially, to the circumstances of my coming out which landed me in jail. Every time I drive with my mothe...

Carrousel

I’ve gone inward again, much like I did while I was in SoCal, but there’s a difference to it this time. It doesn’t feel like a withdrawal so much as a respite. Although I am falling into a strang...

Loose Ends

I know it’s been a while, but quite a lot has happened. Some good, some bad. The bad is mostly of a legal debacle in which I have found myself therefore I won’t comment on it. The good was that I...

Face Value

I had actually recorded a video blog to post, it took me eight tries and I even uploaded it to YouTube, but the events of the night rendered the entire video moot. I went out on Thursday as is my...

Borrowed

I’m doing nothing. I mean, now I wake up every day early in the morning and if I don’t go to work, I take children to school. Then I’m free until I have to pick up kids from school. I wander aro...

The Changing Face of Evil

There was an interesting wrinkle to the other night that I didn’t share in that entry because it didn’t really fit with the theme I was going for. I don’t know whether or not you know this, but I...


I feel like my life is finally at Season 1 of Sex & The City. I started work, it’s fine. Even though they’ve already promoted me to an auditor, I can see that I need to find myself another oc...

Equilibrium

I’m in the midst of my second week back in Northern California and things have already changed immensely. First, I’ll get the bad stuff out of the way. My grandmother is currently in the hospital...

Australia

I am watching the most boring documentary right now. The truth is, the only reason it’s boring is because I’m not at all interested in the subject. It’s some movie about the lack of gay professio...
