Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Bad knee!

I am trying very hard not to be overly depressed about this because we are in Flagstaff, AZ, and that's a long way from home. Day before yesterday I drove from Moab, UT, to Moriarty, NM, 432 miles which isn't all that far considering we stopped a few times to stretch the legs, but it was no use.   The knee I had surgery on isn't as well as I thought. In fact, it's almost back to being a bad knee.   Yesterday we drove from Moriarty to Flagstaff, with a side trip through Petrified Forest NP (l

A World Without Certainty

I can't stand certainty. The arrogance of thinking you know something really annoys me. Especially as it relates to people, other people, but also yourself.   I've been studying sexuality and gender issues for a long time now, however, they've been particularly on my mind for the past couple of months. The way I see it, the GLBT community is designed for gays and lesbians, but the bisexuals and transgenders are still pretty much marginalized and discriminated against. It's frustrating enou

Dreams

It's one of the most simple questions, but at the same time, one of the hardest questions to ever yourself. It's four simple words, very plain english, and yet, it can send someone reeling trying to answer it. This question is also one that is constantly asked by people both young and old, and one that will forever haunt us and follow us when we do answer it. What is this question you may ask?   What are your dreams?   Easy to say right? No big vocabulary words in it, no hidden meanings, jus

Lily Allen rocks!

**Warning Explicit language**   A couple of her best gay affirming songs:     Lily Allen - f**k You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ITZBBV8Syg     Lily Allen - Fag Hag     All her stuff's pretty cool. She has a cheerfully dark edge to most of her songs.

Umm... holy f**king shit!

I just got home from work where I was transferred to a new store, starting Monday, because there were lay-offs in my district and so now they need to move us around to make sure they have the help they need. It's a store I worked at about 8 years ago, right when I was first pregnant with Matty and it's closer to home...   Then Rich picked me up from work and told me that while I was away, somehow, Matty managed to knock my laptop onto the floor and then a soda spilled on top of it...

Why I'm not in Congress

I may be evil but I do have standards.   Knowing that nobody has actually bothered to read the Pork, I mean Stimilus Package, I would insert the following clause:   Amendment 301.23.451 All states and municipalaties that accept stimilius funds are required to have all of their citizens renounce their faith and begin to worship the evil goddess Globulus. In early April, 100 of the nations best basketball players must be sacrificed to Globulus to avoid a plague of boils and rats.   Amendme

Facebook

The real side of me has set up an account on Facebook and has been looking for friends and acquaintances, but since I have few friends or acquaintances I've been forced to add relatives to the mix. So far I've found, in order of discovery, a nephew, a niece, and a cousin. There is a blog friend who sent one of my aliases a note to join, but though I responded, she hasn't acknowledged the request to hook up.   This morning my cousin (there are six of us, a year apart) sent me an email to catch

Late Of The Pier

So I think these guys are not only really talented, but so frickin' hot it hurts!   Check out this super sexy video (and the rest of their super sexy videos):         Ross Dawson, the gorgeous red head, is my favourite, but let's face it; they're all delicious!

Surprise!

I've kind of known about Diabetic Retinopathy for years as a former co-worker's brother had juvenile diabetese and was going through it as a young adult.   Yesterday I took the wife (Type II Diabetes for 18 years) to see an ophthamalogist because her optometrist said there'd been a change in her left eye.   After the doctor examined my wife and escorted her to the laser room to have her weak capillaries photocoagulated, he gave me a booklet, "Understanding Diabetic Retinopathy."   The alar

I'm A Brat, But how can you stay mad at this face?

Currently obsessed with the song:   Remembering Sunday, By All Time Low, FT Juliet Simms           So firstly let me say sorry to all my readers out there, I've been busy with work, and getting sick twice within the past month, one that I'm still dealing with, and lets face it it's just not fun.   I should post more, but it's late and I'm hurting, so I'll leave you with this story from last night.   ***   WARNING THE FOLLOWING IS A TRUE STORY, BASED ON A SPOILED, EMOTIONALLY CHALE

Wow Moments

So last night was a big eye-opener for me. I really do love Kevin, he's amazing as hell. Makes me crazy happy, and he's so damn sweet to me. Even when he kind of annoys me, it's so easy to just put up with it because all I have to do is think about how happy he makes me at other times, and the little annoying things just don't bug me so much. I'll be living with my best friend over the summer. I'll miss living with Kevin, 'cause that's what I've been doing for all practical purposes, but I'

Sigh

Conflicted... yes that would be the word. For so many years, I lived in the KC area (with a short interlude in SEMO). Now I'm in Texas. I like it here, but sometimes I miss home. It's like there's a small void there. I don't regret leaving. I feel a lot happier here most of the time. But I see myself wondering what the future will bring. Will I end up staying in Texas? I don't really know. It's like there's still something missing in my life, a void that has been eating at me for a long time. I

Caveat Lector

It's time we had a cor ad cor loquitur (heart speaks to heart)   It's simple really, something that was eating me all day. I have no clue with what I really want to do in the short run. Yes I have dreams, but I have no clue how to get to them. I want to work with kids, speciafically the gay kids and such. But to do that, I have to goto school, and I can't afford that, even with loans, and it's sorta depressing really. It's like having a carrot dangled in front of you, only to have it yanked aw

What the hell?

When I went to the shrink last Wednesday I told him about being super irritable to the point where people were noticing. Hell, I was noticed the change first. Not only was I irritable, I was downright dangerous. The possibility of road rage incidents was coming back with a vengence. Anger management was out the window.   We discussed the situation and he said the irritability was probably due to the Zoloft working too well and throwing me over to the manic side of my mood stabilizer which has

Ooooh

I don't believe I've ever updated twice in one day, but I need to get this crap down before I forget it.   In the process of commenting to Viv's blog, I remembered a conversation an old coworker and I had regarding religion. He told me about this guy named Matthew Alper who wrote a book called The "God" Part of the Brain. The premise of the book is that spirituality is a biological imperitive, a behavior that is as hard-wired into our genes as a cat marking its territory. And as I always do wh

I need a favor...

... a break, an answer, a nap, a hug, and in return, I'd like to offer some perspective.   My friend, Alysia, called me on Saturday while I was hanging out with Steve, and she doesn't normally call me unless something is up, what with how busy she is being the mom of four kids, and the PTA president, etc., so I answer and she tells me that her son, Donavon, had a stroke. He's six, so just a little over a year younger than Matty, and that he's in the hospital. She says he can't move his limbs o

Sunny day

I should be filling out more job applications, or cleaning up my apartment some more. But it is far too nice a day for that nonsense. No, no, I shall have to go to the beach.   Maybe I'll get the groceries later.   Maybe I'll follow my next whim and chase the sunset.   Whatever. I have an iPod, a notebook, a book, and a good mood. I'm going to have a good day.   Hey, I turned 25 last week. How many more chances am I going to get to play the "f--k the world" game?

Undone

Well, our son isn't going on vacation with us. He's just quick smoking, again, so his nerves are just about shot and he doesn't want to put up with his mother's stupidity and non sequiturs for two weeks. The good thing is we get to go where we want to and don't have to go his way.   We went out to his place on Saturday and now I took a few shots of Mount Stickney, which he can see from his driveway. I'm still getting used to the camera and hopefully the shots will get better.   Haven't writt

Hot Guy, Obsession, Frustration, More Obsession--That Exact Order

I've been borderline obsessed for the past two weeks. I don't like it. It's a horrible feeling. I'm not sure which is worse: passing through life without really registering anything or anyone, OR emotionally latching onto a random person and being consumed by them. I'm thinking the former is a better option, since I won't have to deal with this obsession! Obsession blows chunks! My thoughts are constantly on this guy and I get moody just thinking about him. It's disgusting and I really dislike i
