Hi all! We were having a debate about this recently in the Domaholic's Forum, so I thought it might be fun to "definitively" (what could be more definitive than a poll after all? ) find out what the majority of members preferred. My choice is "Colour". I've always thought the "ou" spelling looked more formal, complete, and all around nicer. What do you think? -Kevin **Hurries to get helmet before Sharon sees this post **

I don't watch TV, but I did catch the vid. of Britney's performance on youtube. The outfit was definitely a poor choice. I agree that if she wants to be a serious performer again it might be wise to hit the gym a little more often, but even if she's not going to get back the body of her teen years, she should definitely make an effort to "dress more strategically". I think her biggest mistake was trying to look hyper sexualized. That might have worked for her before, but right now I think a smarter move would have been a no-belly-barring top (perhaps with a lowish cut if she really wanted to show off the girls), sleeveless - but I'd have advised some playful gloves -, a skirt that did manage to cover most of butt and thighs while still cut in such a way so as to give the impression of being short and revealing. She could have finished the whole thing off with a nice pair of boots or some stilettos (although the latter option probably wouldn't have done much for her much criticised dance routine). Thus, she'd have still achieved a "sexy, naughty girl" look (which probably was necessary to compliment the song she'd chosen to perform), but wouldn't have drawn unnecessary attention to her depreciating assets. As for the hair she should have gone with a sensible wig, tried to do something cute with her short hair (I'm not sure exactly how much she had to work with), or else incorporated a hat into the mix. I do think there's something to be said for someone who can shamelessly pull off an outfit like she tried to wear, despite no longer having the best body, but unfortunately she didn't look shameless and her whole dance routine would have needed to be very energetic and seamless. Then she would have come off as a confident, sexy young woman who was proud of the way she looked and didn't care if it conformed perfectly to magazine standards. (she'd likely still have taken a lot of flack from some people, but I would defend her right to "have fun" and be proud of her body whatever shape it's in). He does seem have turned a corner in his career! Back in the N'sync days I found most of their music fairly catchy, but ultimately forgettable (and irritating if heard too much). Then we he started his solo career - back in the nipplegate days - I thought he'd completely jumped the shark, lost his talent, and was due for a Britney-esque slump. But he really "brought sexy back" with his latest album. So far I've loved every single and been eager to hear more. That's certainly something he'd never accomplished with me earlier in his career. Personally, I still don't think he's all that cute though. -Kevin

Hey dude, From what I understand, there are often are "clues" when a bi-polar person's mood is about to shift. Do what you can to combat it. Get a solid 7-9 hours of sleep, eat right, exercise, laugh and smile, all that jazz Good luck and let us know if you need to talk Kevin

Happy Birthday, Zot!!!

Happy Birthday, Aaron!! I hope you have a fantastic day and a terrific year!!! -Kevin

LOL, this is the part where you complain about, "having to hear about it on the streets!" I'm sure it'll be great Good luck Kevin

Awww WOO HOO!! That rocks, dude! I'm so happy for ya! -Kevin P.S. good luck on your final!

Oh my gosh! That would be fabulous!

So it's a bit silly to be posting this particular blog entry right now, but I was sitting here wondering just how long it's been since I first got a blog here. Turns out it's been nearly two years! My first entry was on November 17th 2005! Since then I've posted 117 entries (counting this one), which comes out to about one per week, but which of course in practice is more like 2 or 3 one week, then 2 or 3 the next month (if that many in some months). It seems that I posted the most entries per month - 15 - in December 2005, and the least entries per month - 1 - in January 2007. In fact it seems quite apparent that I primarily blogged in the first year; I made 86 blog entries from November 17th 2005 to mid November 2006, and only 31 since last November! jamessavik was the first to ever comment in my blog! Tob was the third! Beside the fairly mundane topics and general narratives of my life I've also written 7 purely humourous entries (at least that my intent with them ) which include, in chronological order: Laughing at Life Funny Moments From the Last Year I Had to have Another Hit A "Wordy" Entry Water in my glass; air in my pipes Animal Testing and the Joy of Gay Sex A lifetime supply of... I've also posted a "writing exercise": Beautiful Boys The shortest entry I ever made (about two and a half lines) was: Everyone Looking back on what I've written it seems that the majority of my favourite entries also took place in that first year. Though I definitely still enjoy writing in this thing If I had to do an "outline" of my blog I'd say: -The first section is about coming out and learning how to be a gay person. -The second section chronicles my gradual decision to move away from the state in which I grew up and begin life on my own elsewhere. -The third section seems to consist mostly of a great deal of pure introspection mixed with particular events from my daily life. -The fourth section is about making my new life in Houston. -The 5th corresponds with a period of time when I spent (comparatively) very little time here at GA, and truth be told considered not coming back at all(not due to anything going on here, but instead due to matters in my personal life). -The 6th and final section is after I decided to "come back", and it deals with life as it is today for me It's interesting to note that despite frequently starting polls (or pools ) elsewhere on the site, I've never had one in my blog! I can only recall deleting one blog entry, and while I remember that it was a pretty negative one, I don't really remember what it was about. I want to thank everyone who's ever commented, and especially the people who've frequently commented, for putting up with my whining and silliness, and still offering me very excellent insight, opinions, and advice. You guys have helped me more than you could ever know! Anyway just a little "metablognition" Take care all and have an awesome day! Kevin

That's beautiful, Carl! Listen to him, Demetz. He speaks real wisdom. I wish you the best -Kevin

That was very powerful.

I really like this song! This is so beautiful! So is this! What a great message! I wish I could hear this song, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Oh my gosh!! These two were fabulous! I just downloaded them! LOL, what show is this? I've never heard of it. Just downloaded this as well, also really like it! Great suggestions ya'll -Kevin

Interesting points all around. It does sound like the bishop is stuck between a rock and a hard place. It is encouraging to see that the Anglican church is adapting and at least considering different changes. Unfortunately that seems to be more than can be said for a great many other denominations. (though I guess in general things might be getting better). -Kevin

WOOO HOOOO!! Happy Birthday, Conner! I hope you have a splendid day and a fantastic year!!!! -Kevin

Looks great, Jack! LOL, I was going to point out how wonderfully you matched too!
