Happy Birthday Ramon!

IMHO, there is no "universal" meaning of life. The meaning of life is what you want it to be, which means there is about 6.7B different and right answers to the meaning of life.

Happy Birthday Yang!

Dude I was watching that game and all I could do was laugh. They were absolutely pitiful, especially on their home turf.

Gotta love beating that team in their own building in OT even better.

I'm curious, what race are you?

Do tell.

So thats what you look like. Nice. I'm not going to say anything..... Looking great as always Ben!

I rejected him. I'm also wondering how the hell he got my and many other's first names.

Agreed 110%.

Its the only kind of math I'm good at. But its something I never really noticed before. We are usually expected to marry within "our own", but gay people continually push that boundary, and its interesting to hear the different reasons why people think this happens. I don't know, I never really looked at it as "oh I wanna marry a white guy cause I'm white" like members of the older generations of my family did. My uncle married a first generation Iraqi-American Jew, and that caused a shit-storm among my grandparents since they and both their other kids married white Catholics. They weren't outwardly rude about the situation, but behind closed doors it pissed them off to no end. They've learned to live with it now, especially since they got two new grandkids out of it. I'm not sure how they would react if they 1.) Knew I was gay 2.) Knew I was dating outside my own race 3.) Knew I was gay, dating outside my own race with someone who wasn't even born in the United States. My parents (both white Catholics) could care less what color, religion, gender I date, but it would probably not go over too well with the older, more socially conservative members of my family. Hence why they don't know and never will.

Care to share?

So I was looking through this website I visit from time to time where gay couples submit pictures of themselves for everyone to see, and I noticed something. I noticed that there was seemingly a higher then what I expected proportion of interracial couples then, say, what you would find among straight couples. I did a little research and found that among heterosexual marriages, around 93-95% married within their own race. I went back to the website with a wide array of pictures and counted that only about 70% of the couples who posted pictures on there were of the same race. I personally am dating someone outside my own race, but I never even really noticed it, if that makes sense. I guess what I'm wondering is, what is it that you think makes gay people more likely to date/marry outside their own race then straight people? Or do you have different observations? Again, I'm basing most of my perceptions off first hand accounts, not actual hard fact. Any thoughts?

Holy crap, that guy is sexy as hell!

I was playing with a free online photo editor and.... Picture

Pennsylvania does not allow gay marriage. Also, I checked the prices for tickets on a weekday show (not even a weekend), and damn are they expensive. They are $90-$100 for cheap, nose bleed seats. Maybe they should try lowering their prices a bit, especially in hard economic times. I like orchestra concerts and enjoy going to them, but I wouldn't pay $100 to sit up in the far balcony, even if its as good as the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Three things I always carry and feel very weird without: My cell phone (most important), my wallet, and my keys. You will rarely, if ever, catch my without those three things. I also carry my Swiss Army knife a lot of the time.

I truly believe love has no age limit. Its easier (in my opinion) if you find it at a younger age, but being old is by no means a discriminatory factor. My grandma, who got divorced in 1979, got remarried in 1997 at the age of 71. She is still (much more happily) married to my grandpa. From my own experience, I found love where I very least expected it and I think that applies to a lot of people.

He's right. He was runner up to me last year.

Yes. If you come from Boston, hating the Canadiens is as natural as hating the Yankees. Its encoded in our DNA.

WTH! Barely anybody has my Bruins getting passed the first round! Remember people, we're playing the Canadiens (aka a bunch of wimpies)!

I'm not big on unnatural hair colors but that looks really good on you!

Quarterfinal Winners: East: Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Tampa Bay West: Vancouver, Los Angeles, Detroit, Nashville Semi-Final Winners East: Washington, Boston West: Vancouver, Detroit Conference Champs East: Boston West: Detroit Stanley Cup Champions Overall: Boston I may be picking with my heart a little bit here, but I truly think the Bruins have a good enough team to go all the way this year. I mean, its been since '72 the last time we brought the Cup back to Boston. About time we do it again. Edit to add: I picked LA to get past the first round simply because San Jose is hockey's biggest choke artists when it comes playoff time. Also, their AHL team is the team I grew up watching play hockey, so maybe I'm a little biased there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
