Life Cereal that is... I went for a hellacious jog this morning and just when I got to the point where I was about to turn around and head home, the friggin sky split wide open and it rained like there was an arc with two of every animal being loaded up. So even though I was already tired, I hauled ass back home. I dried off and poured myself a big ass bowl of cinnimon Life cereal and a huge glass of OJ. But I think I ate too much cereal. Oh well, now that I get up early to work out I can't wait for someone else to make my breakfast because I'll starve waiting. So anyway, yeah. I might throw up this morning. Just thought I'd share that with you all

___I became a couselor so I cold tell they deserved it

Yes!!! I LOVE It's too bad Brian McKnight is considered mainstream, and his music doesn't have a focus on anger, because I'm going to see him in concert this weekend, and the price is just right for the amount of money I have to spend right now... 0.00

I like the group , and the best song they have is called I used the spoiler tags because the name of the group and the title of the song may or may not be inappropriate for some of our users If you can't find it on Itunes, let me know and I'll send you the file.

Liz Trotta opposes reproductive rights, too. http://youtube.com/watch?v=EzAsieITMoE

lol...well I'm not doing much better. I'm watching Family Guy, so the best I can say I'm listening to right now is the opening theme from Family Guy

Haha...now I'm listening to Dragon Attack off the same CD

Thanks Drewbie I hope you like the whole thing once I get it going full speed

I left that part out on purpose...it's already been written though

Queen: Play the Game

Yeah but you gotta figure that they've probably never had sex, so they could only go on what they thought it would be like. I give them an A for effort

I think PDA's are ok...I prefer my Blackberry over other kinds, but I know some people who use the IPhone instead. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. No, I think dispalys of affection out in public are fine, as long as they're genuine. I mean, really, there's nothing tackier than the straight or gay couple who can't keep their hands and tongues to themselves for five minutes because for some odd reason, they think others want to see them make out. On the other hand, a heartfelt kiss on the lips between partners just because the moment was right is very sweet, and nothing I have a problem with.

I've been contemplating this move for a few months now, and after a long, thought out process, I've decided to go through with a major purchase that may or may not have a HUGE impact on my life. There's a flap that opens in the back for maximum comfort.

I guess my question would be this: If you were black, and you could be white, would you do it? Certainly life would be easier in the same way it would be if you could be straight.

We can discuss it if you want. I know that it seems odd, but I do consider myself gay, and my gf knows it. But I love her. I can't explain it, other than to say that I feel desperate to be with her all the time. That's painful because our parents do what they can to keep us apart. But I'm not running away from anything. If I were running away from who I was, I'd most likely have taken my page down here and at Awesomedude, and asked Myr to unregister me. I don't take what you're saying as an insult, but I think you don't understand because you aren't in my shoes. I'm not in yours either, so I can't condemn how you feel. But I can say that i stand by what I said about myself and about Kevin. I'm probably a little biased when it comes to Kevin because I think he's everything I'd like to strive to be.I can remember when he blogged about possibly coming out to his mom way back in the day, and then he blogged about how he went through with it. I was soooo proud of him, and even prouder of who I was than ever before. It's easy to be on a forum and talk about pride. None of us are ideal, I guess. I know I'm not, and I suppose that if I want to prove my pride, I'd announce my sexuality to everyone at my church. I haven't done that, and I don't just walk around with a sign that says, "I'm Gay." But that doesn't mean I want to be anything other than the gay/bi/whatever the hell you want to call me type of person that the good Lord made me.

I have to say that what you're saying seems a little unfair. Kevin has a family, just like the rest of us, and he had to deal with the coming out process, and I'd guess that he's still going through it. I mean, who isn't? Everytime we meet someone new and they find out we're gay/bi, the risk is there for a violent reaction or for simple rejection, which can be just as hurtful. I understand that life hasn't been easy for glbt folks in the past. All you have to do is look back on history to see that. I don't know what your personal experiences have been, but I've been called fag by almost as many people as those who took it well when I came out. My girlfriend's mom always makes smartass remarks about how I'll probably give her AIDS, and when she was pregnant, we had to listen to her mom say that we had a AIDS baby. But does that mean I'd choose not to be gay? Hell no. I'd never want to be something I'm not, and to be honest, I do feel proud of who I am. I'd like to know if that makes me naive. Ok, so maybe I'm a little naive

Lately there's been a lot of discussion about reproductive rights, and whether they exist or not. Some people suggest that there are no such rights for individuals. For the record, I'd like to say that while I vehemently disagree with what they say, I will defend to the death their right to say it. I just thought it would be fun to run down a list of some very famous people who say that people have no reproductive rights. Shall we?? Randall Terry Pat Robertson Fred Phelps Shirley Phelps-Roper Jerry Falwell John Hagee Sam Brownback James Dobson Sally Kern John McCain Mike Huckabee Newt Gingrich Dick Armey Dr. Laura I guess I could be wrong. I mean, with so many moderate voices who have never expressed extremist views on any topic, and who aren't hateful toward women and gays in the least, how could I have possibly questioned the stance that there's no such thing as individual reproductive rights? And just to prove my point, watch this.... http://youtube.com/watch?v=gvxWdnu9iDE

Ugh...I know this is going to sound really stupid, but for some reason, I've always thought that Astroglide was something that people did their hair with.

Nice start, Kevin. I loved the way you set everything up, in a systematic way that capured my attention right off the bat. We know who all the characters are, and what their roll is, at least in the first chapter, and yet you left plenty of wiggle room for further development, just like Indefensible. NOW Are you planning to continue with Indefensible? You're an amazing writer, and I think that whatever you write is awesome. I personally have been waiting for several dozen weeks for the next chapter of Indefensible to drop, but I can be sated with regular chapter updates of BMAD.

I 100% agree with you on that. If we want to be seen in a positive light by the media, it's up to us not to give them something negative to cover. I'd like to think that giving a bj in the middle of the street would be illegal, because it's nothing I'd want to see someone else do. But don't you think that the "wild" aspect of such an event fuels the fire of intolerance and gives the media a chance to pigeon hole the entire community as decadent and immoral? And don't you think that it makes life easier for those who want to isolate us and prevent us from adopting kids and getting married? I don't see how acting like a nymphomaniac who can't control their urge in public has anything to do with pride. I think that if someone has pride, they would demonstrate that pride by containing themselves and acting normal. Because the media wants to give the impression that we aren't normal, and therefore, it's okay to treat us differently. It's up to us to change that perception. If I were to organize a pride parade, I'd make it clear that anyone who intended to act like an ass could stay away. This isn't about conforming to straight people and their ideals, it's about common decency, which we should all strive for. Exactly! So, knowing that the media is just waiting for something scandalous to go down, why would anyone accomodate them?

I think that the usefulness of pride parades depend on how the even is covered by the media. At least when it comes to sending a message to the heteros that live around us. Obviously, CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC are going to show pride parades in a negative light. They focus on what they consider to be outlandish, and their reporting carries an tone of disapproval that speaks to the homophobes that want to find a way to demonize us. Networks like Bravo, Discovery, TLC and PBS tend to focus on the more positive aspects of gay pride parades, and gay culture in general.

Definitely not what I expected.
