Def Leppard with Poison (and a Health Update)

Yesterday a friend of mine, Brenda, with whom I went to high school (but really didn’t know back then) posted a link on her Facebook that the concert that I wanted to go to but could not afford, was having a one day sale of tickets for $10. I checked the site and looked at [...]

Accepting Non-Acceptance

I just got done watching The Matthew Shepard Story which I had recorded on my TiVo. A few moments in the movie, which is about the fatal beating of a gay man in the town of Laramie, WY, in the late ’90s, reminded me of something which often comes to mind when gay people complain [...]

Thoughts of Memories

I’m one of those people that thinks that people need to get over their old childhood horrors and move on. Even so, I still recall my awful experience during a period of my childhood commonly referred to as “School Age.” It was a miserable time for me. I’ve lately been adding (and been added by) [...]

This Weekend

My friend, Sara, will be coming over this weekend. She doesn’t have a car so her dad is going to drive her approximately halfway here and then I’ll take her the rest of the way. Usually I have to drive the two or so hours there and, of course, the two hours back. It’s not [...]

Me from the ’90s… October, 1990, to be precise.

There’s a meme going around which requires… yes, requires, that you post a photo of yourself which was taken in the ’90s. There are few pictures in my possession of me from that decade, save for this one, which is one of my favorites.

It was taken during my 19th birthday party, in 1990. I’m towering [...]

Tall Ships & Fondue

On July 4th I tagged along with my cousin, Bart, and his girlfriend, Roni, to The Tall Ships, in Tacoma, WA. I really don’t know all of the details about the whole event but the gist of it is that you can view and board a number of sailboats. Unfortunately, we inadvertently obtained the wrong [...]

Pride Weekend with “Bitch”

I picked up my friend Sara, a.k.a. Bitch, on Friday after work. She lives over 100 miles away. Luckily it was a nice pretty day and I have air conditioning so that trip was pretty decent. After I picked her up I suggested that we eat at one of our old regular places of grub, [...]

Mother’s Day… for My Mom

This is what I got for my mom…

She loved ‘em!

A Few Random Bits

I don’t seem to post to here too often any more. Once upon a time I posted every single day. My life was different then.
On Friday or so I got that beginning of a tingle of a sore throat. I hate that so much. The anticipation of what’s to come makes me hate the world [...]

Juno vs. Jumper

On Friday I saw Juno with my mom. I had medium expectations about it, though I did hear that it was a good flick and saw that it was getting good reviews. I don’t always trust reviews though. I loved Juno! I thought it was thoroughly endearing and made you love most of the characters, [...]
