An Explosion In The Kitchen Of Mentos Proportion

June 28, 2009

Further proof I have no reason to be in the kitchen trying to make stuff.
Today I started my new “supplement” regimen. One of the products is a drink mix called Spark. This was the first time I have used it and the directions say that I am to mix it with 8 oz of water [...]

Dazzling Afternoon At The Pool

June 14, 2009

::: content :::
At the pool I realized that since I was wearing my glasses and not my contacts today, I could open my eyes under water. It’s the first time in who knows how long that I have done that.
Felt like a kid, flying in the water, watching my shadow swim across the bottom with [...]

Not Taking the Bait – Avoiding Foolish Controversies

June 9, 2009

So, I just spent about an hour drafting a post that I will never publish. The following scripture came to mind and then I hit delete (emphasis mine):
Titus 3:9
But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for for they are unprofitable and worthless.
I must admit, it was hard to hit delete though. I had some great [...]

“Green With Guilt” by George Will & Cornwall Alliance

June 7, 2009

My friend Shannon sent me a heads up about this article. Here is an excerpt from the ending:
The point of “utopian environmentalism” was to reduce guilt. During the green bubble, many Americans became “captivated by the twin thoughts that human civilization could soon come crashing down — and that we are on the cusp of [...]

Of Bridges and Rivers – Living In Dynamic Friendship

June 2, 2009

Back in the late ’90’s I was part of a project called Bridges Across (BA). I learned a lot from that experience and appreciated the time I spent there but glad I moved on when I did. It was a project that brought gay activists and people on a post-gay journey together to dialog about [...]

Abortionist Murdered – Blogs & Facebook Erupt in Response

May 31, 2009

I started seeing the topic of abortionist Tiller being murdered coming up all over facebook and the blogs a couple of hours ago and it is only gaining steam.
Gina summed up my initial thoughts perfectly. Another friend, Sonja, on Facebook said in response (emphasis mine):
Yeah, it’s truly tragic in all respects. Tiller likely wasn’t ready to [...]

Stretch Out And Relax

May 22, 2009

It's been light posting around here for a good three weeks now. Part of that of course was traveling but part of it is I have been drawing, painting, running around with friends, my birthday, watching movies, working, writing for other venues … you know … the rest of life.
Plus, Twitter and Facebook are alllllll [...]

My New Friend Roxanne

February 19, 2009

On a recent trip, I look over and this lady is curled up into her seat. We are at the gate waiting to fly home to Orlando. She is sitting upright but has everything pulled up under her very nice white, fur trimmed, coat. She is a black lady with pretty [...]

Open Minded Doesn’t Always Equate to Wisdom

February 16, 2009

I started writing this in my journal not so long ago. Hope it makes sense.

Just because we can perceive most or all angles to a situation doesn’t make us “open minded.”
Just because we can analyze different perspectives doesn’t make us wise.

Perceiving the angles and analyzing different perspectives does bring a level of knowledge. [...]

The Trials of Ted Haggard

February 13, 2009

Ted stated near the end of the documentary:
At this stage of my life I am a loser, a first class loser.
I finally got to watch the documentary and have to admit I am deeply moved for Pastor Haggard. His progression downward into anger and bitterness toward his church wasn’t nearly as awful as some [...]

Semi Long Term Conflict Resolution – A Personal Reflection

February 11, 2009

It would seem that not only is life full of ups and downs … sometimes those ups and downs come out of nowhere. Sometimes conflict comes that I didn’t ask for, don’t quite understand but the consequences can be exasperating and serious.

Something like that happened recently with a friend who was angry with another [...]

Speak For Yourself Porky – Gym Update

February 9, 2009

I love my gym.

I thought it was time for another gym update. It’s crazy busy and tonight, I don’t think I have seen that many people at the gym all at once. Seriously, tonight’s crowd even beat the first Monday after New Years. Regardless, I was able to go through and do [...]

Free Will, Raging Heterosexuality and Playing Games with God

January 31, 2009

James comments:
If you really believe being gay is a sin and you seek to live a life of celibacy or chastity or want to try to convert yourself into a heterosexual, more power to you, I guess. A life without sex is certainly possible.
For me it has led to a celibate life (so far) but [...]

Oprah & Pelosi Highlight Haggard

January 28, 2009

I watched the Oprah show featuring Ted this afternoon. Before I get to that here is a very interesting quote from Pelosi who created the documentary being aired tomorrow. Pelosi states…
I’m not a really religious person. We consider ourselves to be Catholics, but we think of it more as a cultural thing. But [...]
