WOOOOO HOOOOOOO Happy Birthday, Juss!!! I hope your day was filled with all the things that make you happy and may each passing moment of the coming year find you with joy, peace, and wisdom! -Kevin

Good Luck, Nick!! I definitely think you can do it! And you'll have a legion of GA supporters demanding that they publish you! BTW, who is this negative reader in your blog? **shoots him/her a nasty look and hides their mouse** Take care and have an awesome day Kevin

WOOO HOOO!! Congrats, Drew

PM Blonde or Brunette?

Hey Eric!!! *sigh* actually I'm not sure I've EVER been more broke than I am right now LOL I really enjoyed the perky post! haha, different, but fun I hope we get to chat soon on MSN! Take care and have an awesaome day! Kevin

Hey Drew!! Yeah, I guess I can understand what you mean about not feeling sexual tension with someone you're so used to. LOL I don't know how "official" I am...hehe maybe I could get it put on a shirt

Hey David! Yeah, that is crazy that if the kidnapper gets the lightest penalty - 5 years - he'll only be in prison about as long as the poor kid was Drew's right; it is really easy to move your taskbar. As he said just right click on it and make sure it's not "locked", then you can click on any empty section (not a program window or the tray/clock thingy at the bottom) and drag it over to wherever you like. It won't look like you're dragging it, but hold down the button and move your cursor to the bottom (top/left/right) of the screen and it'll go there. Personally I CAN'T STAND my taskbar anywhere but vertically on the lefthand side. It sucks on the bottom, and the top and right are just completely weird Take care and have an awesome day! Kevin

I have a scare EVERYTIME someone is late coming home. LOL, I'm a compulsive worrier I suppose. The person below me feels sorry for my future children

Happy Birthday!! I'm sorry you had such a rough year with the family, but I hope the next year is filled with peace and joy Take care, Kevin

I think # 1 is the lie and you just made up a bunch of random foods from the menu or else added a couple.

Only if it's extremely rich chocolate or else surrounded by other very chocolately things The person below me wonders how I maintain a 28'' waist AND a major chocolate addiction (I know I wonder )

Scrabble of course! hehe Wall clocks or watches?

Hey dude I hope your birthday was filled with wonder and happiness!! May this year lead you on the path you need to follow and take you to a destination filled with joy and peace Kevin

Happy Birthday David! I hope you had an AWESOME day filled with all the joy one gay buddhist can stand Take care, Kevin

I hope you had an awesome birthday, Robbie! May each day find you a little happier and a little nearer to that which you seek! Take care Kevin

Happy Birthday, Shadows I hope your year is filled with everything you've ever wanted and void of that which you don't like! Take care -Kevin

My friend Claire called today. I've mentioned her in a few other entries. She's awesome; at various phases in my life she's definitely been my best friend. She also holds the distinction of being the only girl I was ever in love with. I'm often attracted to girls, sometimes even a tad enamored, but usually there's no real emotional/romantic connection. Except for her, I wasn't even particularly attracted to her, but I still considered spending my life with her. Anyway it's only fair I suppose, she was in love with me for awhile too. Never worked out for us though (obviously). The timing was always off. It was actually quite dramatic, one evening we went out to dinner and I was just about to tell her my feelings when she choose the same moment to tell me she was a lesbian and in love with a mutual friend of ours. C'est la vie. Anyway when we went to college she attended one about 20 miles from our high school whereas I elected to move a couple of hundred miles away and attend a different, larger university. Anyway four and a half years later she's dropped out of two other schools three times and now she's decided to move to the city I just left and give it a go there (where she was supposed to go in the first place before she settled for the closer, smaller university). So she calls me today to ask me about various places she could find various things as well as directions to said places. I must confess for the briefest moment I thought "If you'd gotten your ducks in a row in the first place we'd have been there together". It probably would have been nice having her around more in college, but then I realized that train of thought was just plain messed up. I'm a firm believer in the butterfly effect and the loose, random chain of seemingly unrelated events that lead people through life. On the surface it seems like nothing would have been different except that I'd have had another close, trusted friend around, but in reality I have no doubt that everything would have been different. I probably would have choosen a different job and apartment or in the least stayed in them for a different amount of time. Countless events would have been altered and I'd have met (and not met) countless people. It's very unlikely I'd have ended up sitting here in Houston. And that's not even to say that I think she alone would have been able to significantly alter my life. I believe that'd be the case were to have spent more or less time with anyone in my past. Heck to be honest I kinda think my whole life might be different if I'd made or missed one extra, random traffic light when I was seventeen. HEHEHE, if I think about it long enough sometimes I come to the conclusion that MY whole life would be completely different if YOU (dear reader) had made or missed one extra traffic light six years ago. Anyway I definitely wouldn't want my life to be any different. I wouldn't even want to take back any of the mistakes or bad things because when it comes down to it I don't believe any of the bad could be taken away without destroying a whole lotta good. Besides I'm REALLY digging my life right now. It's so amazing; I often feel like my whole life consists of going from one fun activity to the next one. Oh I have my bad days and bad moods the same as everyone else, but they're usually fairly fleeting and being a total experience whore I don't even mind so much sometimes. It's part of the human experience right? Anyway it just feels like it's getting better and better, and who knows perhaps if Claire had been around she'd have inadvertently set about a chain of events which would have ultimately led me into a life of pain and misery...or perhaps she'd have made things even more sublime *shrugs* Anyway other topic: GOSH I love lesbians! I mean obviously I'm crazy about gay males, and I like straights of either gender, but I must say I really have a special place in my life for lezzies. I've known so many and been less than crazy about so few. I'm SO excited about my friend Megan's upcoming wedding! It's my first lesbian wedding! My first gay wedding actually. I love weddings. Up until now I've only been to the straight kind, but I have a feeling the gay ones will be just as, if not more, err fabulous I think the thing I enjoy most about spending time with lesbians is the LACK of sexual tension. I mean sexual tension is fun, but sometimes it's nice for it not to exist at all. I mean with other gay guys there's obviously a huge potential for a sexual undercurrent. Usually that's really fun and keeps the conversation lively, and that's not to say that I haven't had some really important, serious, non-sexual conversations with my gay male friends, or even that I think the sexual thing usually interferes, but still... Then there's straight girls, I don't mind a little casual flirting there and even if I'm not actively doing it or receiving it there's still the occassional random moment where you stop and think "wait is she hitting on me?" or "did I just send the wrong message?" or "can I really say that?" And straight guys :wacko: . I know alot of really awesome straight guys who really do seem cool with the whole gay thing, but still I'm like constantly on guard to not violate that trust, or be perceived to violate that trust. And I'm always asking myself "how is he going to interpret this?". Plus I think some straight guys, especially the ones that are cool with it, occassionaly purposely send mixed messages. And I'm totally not blaming them for it since it's pretty much exactly what I just admitted doing with straight girls sometimes. I mean lets face it all that stuff can be fun, if not complicated, but it only happens if there's a reasonable potential for either a mutual or one-sided attraction. Personally I believe in the somewhat unpopular notion that everyone's at least slightly potentially bisexual (even if they'd never act on it or even consciously recognize and label it), but a gay guy and a lesbian is about as sexual-tension-less an environment as you can create. Anyway thus when I hang out with my lesbian friends I'm not worrying about how I look or the messages I'm sending etc. It's nice to not worry about those things. And thus ends the ponderings of a hopeless "dyke dude".

awww I will LOL, my girl is sound asleep on her cushion

Just finished it I really liked it! Way to go, Dom! That was pretty much my main thought too. IMO it's not so much that Oliver isn't very intelligent, more that he's guileless. I don't see how he could really fool the doctor either. Particularly since presumably the doc. would readily see a switch as a possible explanation for David's odd behaviour. It was hinted at that the doctor would be talking to Oliver about Frank and thus Oliver could go off on a tangent etc., but I still don't see how Oliver could deceive them for more than a couple of days. Awesome chapter(s) though! And my opinion is that: 1) David never "liked" Frank in that way and 2) David saved Frank at the end because he knew killing him would hurt Oliver (whom he obviously does care about). Also presumably once Frank was incapacitated he was no longer a threat so apart from being the most obviously correct moral decision, saving him is also the best move from a purely logical/calculationg stand point: no harm done (to David - he can still escape) and less trouble with the law (not to mention Oliver et. al) if he gets caught later. Great job, Dom! Kevin

WOOO HOOO! A whole extra chapter?! LOL, and you weren't even going to tell me, Vancey? hehe well I guess ya sorta did with this post! LOL, but what if I'd missed it? Yay can't wait to read the new chapter! Kevin

Hey Luc I just caught up on your blog. I'm sorry your Christmas and New Year were rough . I also hope your mom is doing better and Sam is well (and taking care of the cat duties like he was supposed to). That definitely does sound like the beginning of a rough day. Try to fight it though as you mentioned in your previous blog entry everything is connected. I think that often when several little bad things happen it's because they're sorta causing each other and creating a negative self-fulfilling prophesy (I.E. Today's going to suck!). I think that's why good days seem to be so full of random good things too; you have a better attitude and more positive expectations. Anyway fight the bad day lol!! take care and I hope things get better, Kevin

Thanks Jamie! And I love the nickname! Awww thanks! Have an awesome day and take care! Kevin (Or Kevvers )
