I've been thinking a lot about sexism lately - it doesn't make any sense. You need both an egg and a sperm to create life, which is supposedly the meaning to our lives. You can't do it alone, so lets be friends - at least - with the "other" sex. But… Read full post »

The Detroit Facade

 The great mobile city. The car town. Mo-town. Madonna, Stevie Wonder, Eminem, The White Stripes, and even Kid Rock; Detroit used to be a fantastic star (like most of those celebs, ironically). Used to is a key phrase from here on out.

[For better close-ups of pho… Read full post »

Okay. I think this is important for me to understand.

Has anyone ever actually gotten through a whole tube of chapstick before losing it? Because I have not.

I buy Chapsticks all the time because my lips dry out like the Sahara if I don't apply a fresh coat every 3… Read full post »

Mrs. Smith had started a stupid case over her dead "husband's" estate over 15 years ago. Since then, both sides of the fight have died and the trial has taken on a life of it's own - going all the way to the supreme court and being in your face on… Read full post »

Personally, I really don't like Twitter. It's over-sharing useless, mundane information in a huge sea of useless, mundane information. It's a promotional tool for tools like Kim Kardashian and Kris Allen. Twitter just may be the Antichrist Dajjal - over-stimulating society with updates on where you a… Read full post »

my fear is complex. it's a realization - a slightly stupid one - that I believe everyone has at some point along the line. it's a bit mind-stretching to accurately map out because there wasn't a direct time or place. instead, a continuum. like the period of "missing time" a patient with… Read full post »

Ok, I'll admit it. This story is gold.

Fierce opponent to gay anything - gay flowerpots, gay anthills, gay numbers - GOP "Family Values" Sen. Roy Ashburn of California has been arrested for a DUI. Not only was Sen. Ashburn endangering the lives of the people of California by driving wasted… Read full post »

The New York Times published a baseless heap by Merrill McPeak, a contributing writer, in which today, he decries the repeal of the discriminatory ban on gays in the military - more sweetly known as "don't ask, don't tell". McPeak's tirade against capable and patriotic "warriors" includes going off i… Read full post »

Being open is a Stonewall reference, btw.

It's not originally about free sexual expression; it's about a bar's right to stay open. It's not about DKNY underwear on a tanned group of Adonis look-a-likes; it's 1960's "trannies" beating down police officers (who retreat by the way), with parking meters,… Read full post »

I say to my cellphone. It doesn't reply. I hear a crackle and then a dial tone before saying,

"Hello," It's the beginning. In the end. Forever, "Hello".

I roll over in my bed on the tanned sheets. It's hot out now so I've shunned the heavier blankets. Layton isn't here.… Read full post »

Daddy

by: Sylvia Plath 

You do not do, you do not do
Any more, black shoe
In which I have lived like a foot
For thirty years, poor and white,
Barely daring to breathe or Achoo.

Daddy, I have had to kill you.
You died before I had time--
Marble-heavy, a bag full of God,
Ghastly statue with one… Read full post »

I had to comment on Joan's epic battle with Bill O'Really a few days back, and I must say that watching this segment between the two was excruciating. It was as if O'Reilly's neuroses were now more prominent and emboldened than the "crazy left" who, as claimed by the angry host,… Read full post »

Sonia Sotomayor is "bitchy", "bossy", "spanish", and every other thing that terrifies conservatives. So what's shocking about her being hated on by everyone from Foxy Pundits, Rush Limbaugh and Politico.com? Nothing really.

 Sotomayor is not an old, white male. She isn't a Republican, either. S… Read full post »

Bill O'Reilly is after any gay person in the media. Be they, the writers at the New York Times, Rosie… Read full post »

In California gays just lost a civil right. The millions of Californian voters had no issue with voting against their neighbors, or their cousins and daughters and sons and friends. They had no issue delaying the dreams of an unknown family. I just find it strikingly odd that Adam Lambert--the "gay"… Read full post »

I've really been thinking lately. And it seems that the churches of the world have got it all wrong: gays aren't the top-dogs when it comes to danger.

Danger, John Wayne-style. Gays are under that umbrella? I'm not so sure. But needless to say, I've compiled a list of things… Read full post »

I drove down Donna Rd. a few days back and promptly wrote a short story about my experiences on the back of a paper proposal introduction from a college class. On Donna Rd., my home was what I was looking for.

I got lost one time looking for it, I… Read full post »

[i've been creating a collection of poems entitled 'Organism 9' for almost a year now. i really wanted to focus on the elements of a dream; specifically the American one. i also wanted to encorporate water, human nature, and religion. i think a lot. and i'm a packrat, so here's my garage of… Read full post »

This is a spooky story that gave me nightmares for years after having listened to it in 3rd grade on a cassette player via headset. It's by David Holt and I'm not too sure how accurate it is in comparison to the one I remember: it seems a little altered. I thought you… Read full post »

The national Day of Silence just passed and ironically, a young boy just made news for committing suicide on his battered and stained self-esteem. He saw something really ugly in what he thought humanity was and it just drove the child off. The Day of Silence is here to acknowledge the… Read full post »

Fox News hired a new whiner and he is none other than the Shakespearian poet and Nostradamus wannabe: Glenn Beck. Like Nostradamus, Beck makes wildly inaccurate/vague/martyrdom-related predictions of what the USA will be like a few years into an Obama presidency.

Also like Nostradamus, he thinks he… Read full post »
