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...
The Economics of Artistry
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 Puppet Show
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...
They Shoot Single People, Don't They?
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...
The History of Us
It was the early months of 2004. I was wandering around the streets of Sacramento trying to find this young guy I’d happened to see in our 20-something youth group at the Lambda Center. I had sta...
The Scarecrow
I was enduring the long ride home the other day… I say “enduring” but really it isn’t that bad. It’s a choice that I made for this time in my life, but I must say that Southern California is NOT ...
The Jenga Problem
I have just under three weeks before yet another radical life change. So basically, this could be an entry from almost any other moment in my life. I think I have more “I’m moving and this will c...
The Horizon of the Universe
So there I was in BJ’s with Edgar’s roommate in Paris having a drink and talking about the way things have changed. There’s something comforting about seeing the people I know in places that are ...
Bridges Over Babylon
There were some rather… intriguing comments to my last entry. The way I’ve dealt with things is to compartmentalize my life and while it has served me well in the past, I’m seeing that I have to ...
