Is it gay to write poems?
Well, maybe it's teenage-girl-trite, or even a bit gay, but last week I had the desire to write something, something poetic. So I attempted to just do a flow of thoughts and phrases that were in my head and heart... once I put them all down on paper, I was noticing a pattern, and that pattern reminded me of Haiku... the beats, the rhythm... I ( Read more... ) -
Balanced Achieved?
The last 7 or so days have been a very odd combination of elation and disappointment, but all-in-all, I can say that I am happy with where I am and where I see myself going. And equally important, I am happy with the people that on the journey with me.
I will start off with the disappointment - Last week at work we had the displeasure of a Federal ( Read more... ) -
Love the Label You're In...
Labels exist. And as often as we all say that we don’t fit into one, don’t use them, and despise them, we run to them for comfort, security, and identity. (it's ok for me to be in the dressing room with her, She's my BFF and I'm Gay!) But what I think that we really want to be saying is that we are not ONLY those things that we are labeled, that ( Read more... ) -
Politically Incorrect

Who's on first, What is on second...
I have a weird, mangled and tangled cluster of emotions going on today. There are so many things happening in my life that I am not sure what is cause which feeling right now… There is the excitement and anticipation of the election, there is this surprise (and TOTALLY unexpected) Federal Inspection going on at work all damn week, the beautiful, ( Read more... ) -
Super Superstitions
They say if the Redskins play the night before the election and loose, the party currently in the White house will also loose the election.
They played last night,
They lost.
We will win.
Now get out to vote and make sure that we do. -
The pleasures of today
I have this little rule that I have lived by…. If I play, I pay…. It usually applies specifically to my partaking of the drink (or other substances) on a school night and then forcing myself to go to work the following day. I have only twice in my life called in sick because of partying, and I really do hate myself when I do. It’s not that I am not ( Read more... ) -
A Monster in the Dark
Why do I find it so easy to fall into a downward spiral?
I mean, as long as I can remember, I have had these mood swings, and I made the choice to not be medicated in order to control them. And as often as I suffer because of that I don’t regret that choice. I like my highs, and I usually can appreciate the lows as well... But I usually find ( Read more... ) -
Still learning, Still growing
I have always been a creature of habit. I like things done in a certain way, and at a certain time. For instance, I have my morning routine down to the timing of the traffic lights, when I take a drink of my coffee, when I light a cigarette. I have been like this as long as I can remember. There is comfort in routine, there is security in it, and ( Read more... ) -
All About Me
I am adopted. My parents signed the paperwork and I was adopted at only two weeks old. I have never known any other parents, so the terms biological parents and adoptive parents don’t really apply to me.
Yesterday at a work pizza-party-lunch-birthday thing, a co-worker started to talk to us about the idea of her and her husband adopting. Of the 15 ( Read more... )
