On Vox: Lifestyle changes
Yesterday, I did something I haven't done in almost two and a half years. I went grocery shopping.
I tried grocery shopping and cooking for myself when I first moved to Rochester. I think that lasted for about a month before I decided it was too much bother. I just found the idea of running home after work and cooking my own food to be a ( Read more... ) -
On Vox: Remembering another family man
In my previous entry, I talked about my perspective changed in regards to getting involved with a guy who has kids. It seems proper to note that while I've only become fully aware of this change, the actual change process has been a long time in the works. In fact, I can trace its beginnings back as early as 2001.
Back in 2001, I met Mike, who I ( Read more... ) -
On Vox: Observing a change in perspective
So there's this guy I've been talking to recently. Nothing serious, mind you. I'm not sure you can quite say we're friends yet, though I'm certainly hoping that things are headed in that direction. I certainly enjoy the conversations we have. And I'd be lying if I denied that I'd be curious to explore the possibility of moving beyond ( Read more... ) -
Since when did bribery make people keep long-term commitments?
Yesterday, the New York State Court of Appeals ruled against the plaintiffs who were suing for same-sex marriage rights. The full test of the ruling is available online, and I encourage everyone to read it for themselves. I also highly recommend that anyone interested check out the analysis of this ruling that was provided by Tin Man. (I also ( Read more... ) -
A trip to the zoo
This morning, I decided to make another trip to Seneca Park Zoo, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots to visit. In fact, today, I decided to pay for a membership. My annual membership fee gives me (and one adult guest, as well as my guest's children, if any) free admission any of the 364 days a year that they're open. I felt it was ( Read more... ) -
Post at the wrong blog and the bogeymen will "be aware of you" it seems
Yesterday, I spent some time adding new features to the POC website (like a blog), as well as performing some needed maintenance. When I was done, I decided to do a couple of Technorati searches, to see if anyone was talking about us. As it turns out, someone was. Given the inaccurate and rather negative comments the blogger had made, I decided ( Read more... ) -
I'm hoping this'll give me some creativity ideas
Look at my LJ interests, and my user pics. Pick one (or one of each, if you like) that you find confusing or intriguing, and comment here. I’ll explain what it means and what makes it significant to me ( Read more... ) -
Life changes
Over the weekend, I've decided that it's time to slowly institute some changes in my life. I'd love to say that I'm going to do them all, and that's my eventual desire, but I don't want to set up a goal I find I'm unable (or unwilling) to keep, only berate myself for the failure. So I think I'm going to make this a long term list of things I plan ( Read more... ) -
2QT2BSTR8
Last Monday while shopping at OUTlandish Gifts, I bought a white tee shirt with "2QT2BSTR8" on the front of it. Today was the second day I've warn it. I have to admit that I've been enjoying people's reactions. Surprisingly (at least to me), a lot of people have to ask what it means ("Too cute to be straight," if anyone is wondering"). What's ( Read more... ) -
The BSA continues to slit it's own throat
Imagine being a young boy, sitting with your fellow Boy Scouts at Scout camp, listening to one of your leaders talk about how diverse your troop has become in terms of religious background. He's praising this religious diversity as a good thing. So when asked, you reveal your own religious background, only to be told two days later that you're " ( Read more... )
