During the past month we have seen a lesbian couple attacked in Brighton and heard detailed accounts regarding the on-going trials, in South Africa, of those accused of the rape and murder of South African lesbians Zoliswa Nkonyana and Eudy Simalne.

Following the murder of Ian Baynham, a gay man, who was viciously beaten to death in London in September and the recent attack on gay policeman, James Parkes, in Liverpool, which left him critically injured – Is homophobia on the rise?

Please join the debate, share your thoughts and make your voice heard.

"It's Fox's job to eff up the Truth"

Maybe you’ve heard that the Obama administration has had a tiff with Fox News recently. Though if you’ve seen the clips featuring the Obama people you’d probably be more inclined to think that they just want everyone to know that Fox News caters to a conservative audience to such an extent that they’re essentially a propaganda arm for the GOP. I could keep going but Jon Stewart is a much funnier man than I am and a silver fox to boot, so I’ll let him explain…

Obama lifts HIV travel ban

For whatever reason for the past  two decades the United States hasn’t allowed people with HIV or AIDs into this country. Granted we also don’t let gay people donate blood because, y’know, queers all have HIV. Today though that first issue was rectified by President Obama signing the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Act. From the signing speech:

Twenty-two years ago, in a decision rooted in fear rather than fact, the United States instituted a travel ban on entry into the country for people living with HIV/AIDS.  Now, we talk about reducing the stigma of this disease — yet we’ve treated a visitor living with it as a threat.  We lead the world when it comes to helping stem the AIDS pandemic — yet we are one of only a dozen countries that still bar people from HIV from entering our own country. If we want to be the global leader in combating HIV/AIDS, we need to act like it.  And that’s why, on Monday my administration will publish a final rule that eliminates the travel ban effective just after the New Year.  Congress and President Bush began this process last year, and they ought to be commended for it.  We are finishing the job.  It’s a step that will encourage people to get tested and get treatment, it’s a step that will keep families together, and it’s a step that will save lives.

Who would’ve thought we would come to appreciate leaders that make decisions based on such esoteric things like facts…

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT AT SIGNING OF THE RYAN WHITE HIV/AIDS TREATMENT EXTENSION ACT OF 2009

Diplomatic Reception Room 11:58 A.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT:  Good morning, everybody.

AUDIENCE:  Good morning.

THE PRESIDENT:  We often speak about AIDS as if it’s going on somewhere else.  And for good reason — this is a virus that has touched lives and decimated communities around the world, particularly in Africa.  But often overlooked is the fact that we face a serious HIV/AIDS epidemic of our own — right here in Washington, D.C., and right here in the United States of America.  And today, we are taking two important steps forward in the fight that we face here at home.

It has been nearly three decades since this virus first became known.  But for years, we refused to recognize it for what it was.  It was coined a “gay disease.”  Those who had it were viewed with suspicion.  There was a sense among some that people afflicted by AIDS somehow deserved their fate and that it was acceptable for our nation to look the other way.

A number of events and advances over the years have broadened our understanding of this cruel illness.  One of them came in 1984, when a 13-year-old boy from central Indiana contracted HIV/AIDS from a transfusion.  Doctors assured people that Ryan White posed no risk to his classmates or his community.  But ignorance was still widespread.  People didn’t yet understand or believe that the virus couldn’t be spread by casual contact.  Parents protested Ryan’s attendance in class.  Some even pulled their kids out of school.  Things got so bad that the White family had to ultimately move to another town.

It would have been easy for Ryan and his family to stay quiet and to fight the illness in private.  But what Ryan showed was the same courage and strength that so many HIV-positive activists have shown over the years and shown around — show around the world today.  And because he did, we didn’t just become more informed about HIV/AIDS, we began to take action to fight it.

In 1990, the year Ryan passed away, two great friends and unlikely political allies, Ted Kennedy and Orrin Hatch, came together and introduced the Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act — the CARE Act — which was later named after Ryan.

In a few minutes, I’m going to sign the fourth reauthorization of the Ryan White CARE Act.  Now, in the past, policy differences have made reauthorizations of this program divisive and controversial.  But that didn’t happen this year.  And for that, the members of Congress that are here today deserve extraordinary credit for passing this bill in the bipartisan manner that it deserves:  Tom Harkin and Mike Enzi in the Senate, we are grateful to you for your extraordinary work; Speaker Pelosi, who’s always leading the charge on so many issues; Frank Pallone, Jr., Joe Barton, Barbara Lee and Donna Christensen in the House, thank you for your extraordinary work — oh don’t worry, I’m getting to Henry.  (Laughter.)  Nancy is always looking out for members, but we’ve got a special section for Henry.

And Chairman Henry Waxman, who began holding hearings on AIDS in 1982, before there was even a name for AIDS, was leading here in Washington to make sure that this got the informed attention that it deserved and who led the House in passing the original Ryan White legislation in 1990.

I also want to acknowledge the HIV community for crafting a consensus document that did so much to help move this process forward.  Some of the advocates so important to this legislation are with us here today:  Ernest Hopkins from Cities Advocating for Emergency AIDS Relief; Frank Oldham, Jr., President and CEO of the National Association of People with AIDS; and Julie Scofield, Executive Director of the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors.

And I’m especially honored that Ryan’s mother, Jeanne White-Ginder, is here today.  For 25 years, Jeanne had an immeasurable impact in helping ramp up America’s response to this epidemic.  While we lost Ryan at too young an age, Jeanne’s efforts have extended the lives and saved the lives of so many others.  We are so appreciative to you.  Thank you.  (Applause.)

You know, over the past 19 years this legislation has evolved from an emergency response into a comprehensive national program for the care and support of Americans living with HIV/AIDS.  It helps communities that are most severely affected by this epidemic and often least served by our health care system, including minority communities, the LGBT community, rural communities, and the homeless.  It’s often the only option for the uninsured and the underinsured.  And it provides life-saving medical services to more than half a million Americans every year, in every corner of the country.

It’s helped us to open a critical front on the ongoing battle against HIV/AIDS.  But let me be clear:  This is a battle that’s far from over, and it’s a battle that all of us need to do our part to join.  AIDS may no longer be the leading killer of Americans ages 25 to 44, as it once was.  But there are still 1.1 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States, and more than 56,000 new infections occur every single year.

Some communities still experience unacceptably high rates of infection.  Gay men make up 2 or 3 percent of the population, but more than half of all new cases.  African Americans make up roughly half of all new cases.  Nearly half of all new cases now occur in the South.  And a staggering 7 percent of Washington, D.C.’s residents between the ages of 40 and 49 live with HIV/AIDS — and the epidemic here isn’t as severe as it is in several other U.S. cities.

So tackling this epidemic will take far more aggressive approaches than we’ve seen in the past — not only from our federal government, but also state and local governments, from local community organizations, and from places of worship.

But it will also take an effort to end the stigma that has stopped people from getting tested; that has stopped people from facing their own illness; and that has sped the spread of this disease for far too long.  A couple of years ago Michelle and I were in Africa and we tried to combat the stigma when we were in Kenya by taking a public HIV/AIDS test.  And I’m proud to announce today we’re about to take another step towards ending that stigma.

Twenty-two years ago, in a decision rooted in fear rather than fact, the United States instituted a travel ban on entry into the country for people living with HIV/AIDS.  Now, we talk about reducing the stigma of this disease — yet we’ve treated a visitor living with it as a threat.  We lead the world when it comes to helping stem the AIDS pandemic — yet we are one of only a dozen countries that still bar people from HIV from entering our own country.

If we want to be the global leader in combating HIV/AIDS, we need to act like it.  And that’s why, on Monday my administration will publish a final rule that eliminates the travel ban effective just after the New Year.  Congress and President Bush began this process last year, and they ought to be commended for it.  We are finishing the job.  It’s a step that will encourage people to get tested and get treatment, it’s a step that will keep families together, and it’s a step that will save lives.  (Applause.)

We are continuing the work of crafting a coordinated, measurable national HIV/AIDS strategy to stem and suppress this epidemic.  I’m pleased to report that the Office of National AIDS Policy, led by Jeffrey Crowley, has already held eight in a series of 14 community discussions in cities across the country.  They’ve brought together faith-based organizations and businesses, schools and research institutions, people living with HIV and concerned citizens, gathering ideas on how to target a national response that effectively reduces HIV infections, improves access to treatment, and eliminates health disparities.  And we are encouraged by the energy, the enthusiasm, and great ideas that we’ve collected so far.

We can’t give Ryan White back to Jeanne, back to his mom.  But what we can do — what the legislation that I’m about to sign has done for nearly 20 years — is honor the courage that he and his family showed.  What we can do is to take more action and educate more people.  What we can do is keep fighting each and every day until we eliminate this disease from the face of the Earth.

So with that, let me sign this bill.  (Applause.)

How Dare I Be Upset Over Her Infidelities!

Holy shit.  So, yesterday morning I’m dropping Hailey and our little one off at her work, and she informs me that she is going to go to her school library to meet up with her group to work on a project which she wouldn’t elaborate on.  As I am about to leave, she tells me the rest of the group won’t make it, and that it’s only going to be her and the girl she has a crush on (who looks like Ingrid Michaelson).  Nice.  That’s one of those comments that are like time bombs.  She pulled the pin right as I left, and BOOM!  My whole day is messed up because I have nothing but worse-case scenarios running through my head (which is why open, honest communication is so nice: no need to be left thinking the worst).

I was a mess the entire day.  Was she even going to go to her school?  She’s been not really showing much care for her schoolwork lately, so it could totally possibly be she really wants to get back into it, and it’s totally possible that she wants to hook up with someone really bad and will use any excuse to make it happen.  She hasn’t been convincing me of her love and commitment lately, so when she texted me later that she wants to “go to the library” once a week, I get even more wrecked.  Does she have absolutely no love for me whatsoever?  If she really did love me, I would love to see her at the library or coffeeshop or wherever working on her schoolwork or just plain old taking some time for herself.  Once a week, twice, great!  Go out with friends?  Awesome!  She so needs to lighten up and loosen up.  She’s wound up so tight.  But to respond to ads looking for sex and then to never apologize for it or attempt to show (with actions, not words) that she feels bad for her mistakes and still loves me and wants to marry me – I don’t feel too hot about her going to “study” one on one with a chick she totally wants to do.

I am completely suspicious of what happened last night, because when she came back, she was all about nagging and fighting with me.  On top of that, to add insult to injury, she says she’s not responsible for the fight, and that I am the one who was all ready to jump down her throat the moment she walked in.  I was quietly lying in bed!  Then, this morning as I’m driving her to work, she goes on to give me an impression that there is nothing she likes about me or us.  What the mother fucking fuck?

She says she doesn’t like me now because I have just recently started to not hold back.  Before, I would shove my balls up my vagina and just take her intensity and anger and frustration and bouts of tantrums.  I would just take it.  Now that I’m actually talking back, she’s got a problem with me.  A friend of mine once recently told me that girls think they want the spineless “nice-guy” until they have one and realize that they have no respect for them – and that’s no fun.  Is it too late for me?  Have I gone too long without respect for myself as the spineless nice-guy?  Will she never have respect for me?  Or does she still need to feel a sense of power and authority in all areas of her life out of insecurity?

Anyway, her giving me the beat down last night and today kind of waves red flags, like venting anger and hostility towards me is her way of dealing with her guilt from cheating and/or her confusion of not knowing what she wants, since she spent a nice time with someone new (remember her desire to feel the excitement of new love) whom she is totally hot for.  Whatever it is, I feel beat.  I miss her.  I miss when she loved me and wanted to be with me and was happy with me and wasn’t so confused.

Everyday Monsters - 12 Days of Halloween: Scary Flash Fiction: Story 1

Hey all, today marks the last story in the 12 Days of Halloween story sequence.  For those of you who don’t know, I wrote a short story, or a poem, for every day of the 12 days leading up to Halloween.  Tomorrow is Halloween so today is the last story.  It’s a bit of a misnomer, actually, because today’s post is a story-poem.  I always find that rhyming is a powerful device to control rhythm and tempo, and both those things contribute immensely to creating a ’scary tone.’  Or maybe it’s just that my early readings in ’scary’ literature had heavy focus on rhyme and meter.  As always, comments welcome!

 

Angry Mob by dpsullivan on Flickr.com

 

This tale we tell on Halloween
regards the frightening and unseen
horrors that might split the seam
of sanity down the middle. 

But If you listen carefully,
with open minds judgement free,
beyond our pomp hyperbole,
you might just hear a riddle. 

Sphinx our story does not hold,
but riddles make the truth unfold,
and monsters often are truth untold,
so lets tell truths on Halloween. 

Our first regards young Billy Blane,
who habits alley and dirty lane,
endures conceit and much disdain,
from most who bare to look on him. 

He lost his job and now casts spells
with condoms and lubricant jells,
he helps rid men of work day shells,
before they see their family. 

And when they burn him at the stake
a curse will smoke and fire make
so all that watch will never shake
his screams from their memory. 

For no true witches ever lived.
Those who burn them seldom forgive
the choices some folk make to live.
The monster is the mob. 

And what of Sally Tuberdale
who ran from parents raged on ale
and sleeps on streets though oft regales
she’s better off without them. 

For here can she hold the hand
of any lover, woman or man,
and public eyes daily withstand,
the sight of true love’s fancies. 

And so she sleeps beneath a bridge
content with homeless pilgrimage.
The monster is that the life she lives
resides not in a home. 

There’s Cindy Sayer, the local mayor,
who robs blind honest tax payers
to funds bad projects so she can say her
term was not for not. 

The friends she’s made with greenbacks paid,
the crowds she’s stayed with media aid,
and all the voters she has played,
will not save her humanity. 

For in her quiet well kept house,
no spoiled child or trophy spouse,
will suffice to quiet doubts,
that plague her lonely dreams. 

The truth is she would rather die
than ever admit to a single lie,  
and in the end she’d most deny,
that power makes a monster. 

And last we see those daily races,
workers working at crazy paces,
and squashing flat all of the faces
that plead for a slower lane.

The great machine we grease with blood,
the dams we built so we can flood
our verdant valleys with seas of mud,
so we can keep our jobs. 

The riddle now becomes much clearer,
if monsters live in every mirror,
appear amongst us mad or sober,
in every month, not just October,
then can we also therefore deem,
that everyday is Halloween?

 

The Ass and His Purchaser: A Fable About Character

Here is yet more evidence that you are a reflection of the company you keep.  In this case there isn’t much of a reflection since floating excrement in a cesspool doesn’t reflect very well.

Here’s more insight into the long laundry list of thugs, murderers, socialist, and communists with whom our pretender to presidency CHOOSES to associate.

If You Are Known by the Company You Keep, What do Obama’s Associates Say About Him?

October 26, 2009 by Bob Livingston

In the Aesop’s Fable, The Ass and His Purchaser, a man looking to buy a donkey wanted to test the animal before completing the purchase. So he put the donkey in his field with the other donkeys to see what would happen.

The donkey immediately strayed from the majority of the herd and cozied up to the laziest donkey of all.

Seeing that, the man led the donkey back to his owner. When the owner asked how he could judge the donkey’s character so quickly the man explained, “I didn’t even need to see how he worked. I knew he would be just like the one he chose to be his friend.”

A person is known by the company he keeps.

Fables are popular because they tell the story of the way things in life really work. In business, when someone takes over a department or company, that person promotes those he or she likes to positions of authority. The new manager seeks out those who have a philosophy, work ethic and disposition similar to his.

One would expect a president to do the same thing. After all, a president is elected—supposedly—based on the vision, ideas and proposals he championed during the campaign. It would then make sense that he would put in place those who supported his vision and would therefore be enthusiastic in working to achieve it.

So who are President Barack Obama’s friends, and who has he put in charge of the effort to enact his policies? And what do the friends he has chosen and the people he has put in position of authority in his administration say about him?

Following, in alphabetical order, is a list of some of Obama’s friends, advisors and people charged with enacting his policies:

  • William Ayers—Now a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Ayers spent 10 years as a fugitive in the 1970s when he was part of the domestic terrorist organization known as the Weather Underground. In the early 1970s the Weather Underground was responsible for bombing the U.S. State Department in Washington, D.C., and setting a bomb that didn’t go off at a military induction center in Oakland, Calif. The group also murdered two policemen and a Brink’s truck driver in a botched armored car robbery, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) website. Ayers surrendered to face charges in the 1980s, but the charges were dropped because of improper surveillance. Coincidentally, on Sept. 11, 2001, Ayers was being interviewed about a book he had written and he told the interviewer he didn’t think the Weather Underground had done enough. Ayers and Obama first crossed paths in Chicago in the 1990s and served together on the board of the not-for-profit Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a boondoggle to spend tens of millions of dollars for their pet “education” projects. Obama downplayed his friendship with Ayers as casual, but evidence indicates their relationship was much more. Many now believe that Ayers penned Obama’s “autobiography” Dreams from My Father.
  • Carol Browner—Obama’s Director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy, Browner is an avowed socialist. She served as one of 14 leaders of Socialist International’s Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for global governance and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change, according to an article in The Washington Times. The group supports socialism and has been harshly critical of U.S. policies. She is also a supporter of smart growth policies, as we have described previously. Browner also served on the board of Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, though her name was scrubbed from the site after Obama tapped her for the director’s position. Not surprisingly, Obama’s transition team told The Times Browner’s membership in a socialist organization was not a problem.
  • Frank Marshall Davis—You won’t find Davis’ name on an organizational chart of White House staff, but he was instrumental in forming the political philosophy of Barack Hussein Obama. Called “Uncle Frank” in Dreams from My Father, Davis was a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), according to a 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii. Obama has admitted to spending time with Uncle Frank—who he cryptically describes as being a person of some modest notoriety at one time—and listening to his poetry and getting career path advice. Davis may also have been a pedophile. Writing under the pseudonym Bob Greene, Davis wrote a debased pornographic novel entitled, Sex Rebel: Black (Memiors of a Gash Gourmet), in which he describes group sex encounters and sex he and his wife had with a 13-year-old girl named Anne. Davis died in 1987.
  • Anita Dunn—As White House Communications advisor, Dunn has been seen a lot lately as the face of the Obama administration’s strategy to try and discredit Fox News. She is described on Politico.com as a veteran Democratic strategist and top advisor on Obama’s presidential campaign. As the war between the Obama White House (see more under Rham Emmanual) and Fox has escalated, videotape has surfaced showing Dunn gloating over how the campaign “controlled” the media. Another videotape surfaced showing Dunn speaking at a June high school graduation ceremony where she praised Marxist/Communist Chinese Premiere Mao Zedong as one of her favorite philosophers and one of the two people she turns to most. It’s difficult to understand how Mao had time to philosophize as he was busy killing somewhere between 50 million and 70 million of his country’s citizens during his 27-year reign of terror.
  • Ezekiel Emanuel—The president’s Special Advisor for Health Policy, Ezekiel is brother to White House Chief of Staff Rham Emanuel. Ezekiel is the source of Sarah Palin’s death panel idea. This Emanuel has written that he believes many healthcare treatments should be denied to those under 15 and over 65 to save money, the rationale being that only people between 15 and 65 are beneficial to society.
  • Rahm Emanuel—Obama’s White House Chief of Staff, Emanuel is a thug Chicago politician who once sent a two-and-a-half foot long, dead and decomposing fish to lobbyist Allen Secrest to express his displeasure. He’s known for his full-time use of gutter language and once told then-British Prime Minister Tony Blair just before an appearance with Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal: “This is important. Don’t f**k it up.” He also coined the phrase, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” He’s also behind the ridiculous policy of starting a fight with television news agency Fox News.
  • Chai Feldblum—Nominated by the president to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Feldblum signed a radical 2006 manifesto which endorsed polygamous households and argued traditional marriage should not be privileged “above all others,” according to a report in Catholic News Agency. According to a statement from the White House, Feldblum has worked on advancing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights…” She is co-director of Workplace Flexibility 2010, which she described at a UCLA symposium as a homosexual rights group that aimed to change the American workplace and revolutionize social mores, according to a report on the WorldnetDaily website.
  • Patrick Gaspard—White House Political Director, Gaspard was formerly a lobbyist for Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the organization that sent its thugs out to disrupt Tea Party protests and stir up trouble at town hall meetings in August. Prior to that, Gaspard worked as national field director for American Coming Together (ACT), a sub-group of the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). ACT was fined $775,000 in civil penalties by the federal government for various voter fraud offenses. You can read more about ACORN here.
  • Eric Holder—The Attorney General of the United States is an anti-gun racist who earlier this year referred to the United States as “a nation of cowards” on race relations. He also has an interesting take on justice. He worked to convince President Clinton to pardon billionaire fugitive Mark Rich (convicted of fraud and racketeering), Weather Underground (where have we heard of that organization before?) terrorists Susan Rosenberg and Linda Evans, and he declined to prosecute New Black Panther brutes who stood over a Pennsylvania polling station with baseball bats intimidating voters. Oh yes, he also wants to bring Guantanamo Bay prisoners to the United States.
  • John Holdren—Obama’s Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy is not only an abortion supporter, he is an abortion nut who believes that compulsory abortions could be sustained under the existing U.S. Constitution if a population crisis arose. He also supports mass sterilization of the U.S. population through lacing the country’s water supply with drugs. Holdren authored with two other people a book called Ecoscience promoting their loony ideas about population control and One World Government—or what they called a Planetary Regime—to regulate international trade, the food supply and determine the optimum population for the world.
  • Valerie Jarrett—The New York Times called Jarrett, Obama Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, the ultimate Obama insider. She has also been called the other half of Obama’s brain. She’s another one of those Chicago thug politicians who has gamed the system—including operating as a slum lord—for her own benefit. Her company, Habitat, Inc., managed the Grove Parc housing complex which was located in the district represented by State Senator Obama. As state senator, Obama coauthored a bill to give tax credits for developers which Jarrett used on the complex. As U.S. senator, Obama pressed for increased federal subsidies for like projects. Despite receiving government funds and tax credits, Grove Parc was ordered demolished because of its deplorable condition. She also served the administrations of Chicago mayors Harold Washington and Richard Daly, both scandal-plagued. Washington, by the way, was backed in his bid for mayor by Chicago’s Communist Party and the local branch of the Democratic Socialists of America. Called by the Washington Post a tutor to Obama and his wife Michelle, Jarrett is the step-daughter of Chicago journalist Vernon Jarrett. Vernon Jarrett was an associate of Frank Marshal Davis, Obama’s mentor, when Davis lived in Chicago prior to moving to Hawaii.
  • Kevin Jennings—This former school teacher and long-time gay rights activist was named Obama’s Safe Schools Czar. He has accused Baptists, the Boy Scouts and sports fans of anti-gay bias, and advocates a special high school for gay teens and gay-straight alliance clubs for every high school in America, according to a report in CNSNews.com. He believes that kindergartners should be taught to respect all sexual orientations while insisting that “ex-gay messages” and “Christian values” are misused to isolate or denigrate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and have no place in the nation’s public schools, CNSNews.com reported. Oh yeah, he also supports pedophilia. While Jennings was a teacher, a minor student told Jennings that he was having gay sex with an adult. Jennings covered it up. He also has praised Harry Hay, a defender of the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which promotes legalization of sexual abuse of young boys by older men.
  • Van Jones—Once Obama’s White House Environmental Advisor, Jones was fired in the dead of night on a holiday weekend after a video surfaced in which he called Republicans a bodily orifice, and after a controversial document he signed was revealed. That document accused former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney of either planning or knowing about ahead of time the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In addition to being a 9/11 Truther, Jones is an avowed Communist. He was appointed to his position by Valerie Jarrett, who has been seen on video praising Jones and saying she and Obama had been watching Jones for a long time.
  • Mark Lloyd—FCC Diversity Czar, is also known as the man who wants to stifle free speech in America like Hugo Chavez does in Venezuela. He has been videotaped saying the Chavez revolution in Venezuela was almost lost because of the privately-owned media. Chavez, of course, is the Marxist dictator of Venezuela, personal friend to Communist dictator Fidel Castro of Cuba and Islamic terrorist dictator Mahmoud Ahmadenijad of Iran. In 2006, while at the liberal Center for American Progress, Lloyd wrote a book entitled, Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America. In it he presents the idea that all private broadcasters should be charged licensing fees at a rate equal to their operating expenses and that money should go to the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). In a 2007 report entitled The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio, Lloyd complains about the fact that people want to listen to Christian and conservative talk radio rather than liberal radio, and lists ways the Federal government can fix the “problem.” His solution would include caps on the number of local stations a corporation can own, ensure greater local accountability on radio licensing and require owners who fail to fulfill their obligations to pay a fee to support PBS.
  • Cecelia Munoz—Now White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, Munoz was previously Senior Vice President of The National Council of La Raza, the largest Hispanic lobbying organization in the country, which has called national anti-immigration groups “hate groups.” La Raza, which literally translates The Race, funds extremist groups and supports illegal immigration as a way of obtaining political power. The group advocates taking the Southwest U.S. for the purpose of creating a new Hispanic state.
  • Cass Sunstein—Recently confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Administrator of the White House Office of Administration and Regulatory Affairs, Sunstein is a Harvard Law School professor and dingbat who has—in writings and speeches—called for a ban on all hunting and claims that animals should be represented by lawyers in animal abuse cases. He is a socialist who has advocated for gun control and heavy regulation of the Internet. He also wrote in his 2008 book, Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness, that he believes people’s organs can be harvested without their consent. Sunstein would like to see personal email communications regulated by the government and believes the Internet is anti-democratic because of the way users can filter out information of their own choosing.
  • Rev. Jeremiah Wright—Obama sat in Wright’s church for 20 years yet claims to have never heard any of the hate-filled racism that crossed his lips. Wright’s anti-Semitic, anti-American sermons came to light during the campaign. Among his claims: the U.S. government was responsible for infecting blacks with the virus that causes AIDS, America was responsible for the 9/11 attacks—“the chickens have come home to roost”—and Jews are responsible for ethnic cleansing in Gaza and are pressuring Obama associates to keep Wright and Obama separated.

These are just a few of the folks who have occupied or currently occupy Obama’s inner circle. He was passed off by the mainstream media as being a centrist and moderate, but many of friends are anything but that, and some are quite radical. And when you parse some of his words or find video or audio from several years ago you know that Obama himself has some radical views.

But the media ignored Obama’s ties to radicals and communists. That, and Obama’s soaring rhetoric led many otherwise thoughtful and good people down the primrose path, and they voted for him without realizing what they were getting.

But as the truth gets out about his associates, the cover is coming off. He’s becoming known by the company he keeps, as well as his own deeds.

Story Update: Chaz Bono Likes Being A Man

Now that he’s finally in the body he always felt he belonged in, Chaz Bono says he’s enjoying something that took decades to accomplish.

“It’s a long process going back almost a decade. I got clean and sober in 2004 and I couldn’t have done this before that,” Bono, formerly known as Chastity, tells, “Entertainment Tonight” in a taped interview.

Born the daughter of Cher and Sonny Bono, Chaz, 40, has been undergoing a female-to-male sex change since March, a process that has already had significant physical changes on his body.

“It lowered my voice,” he says. “Fat redistributes, muscle growth, hair growth, sex drive increases.”

One thing that didn’t need changing:  His mental and emotional concept of himself as fundamentally male.

“I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn’t much feminine about me,” he says. “I believe that gender is something between your ears, not between your legs. That is something I discovered in the early ’90s. It was just a long process of being comfortable enough to do something about it.”

It was turning the milestone age of 40 that spurred him to action.

“I was turning 40 and I thought it’s now or never. I want to still feel vibrant and be able to enjoy my life in a male body and not wait until I am an old man.”

Betrayal

Ok, So…Kiara got online a few minutes ago and talked me before they rolled out for their mission…
She went through with our deal and slept with someone…I knew before she even told me. I could tell. It hurt at a little at first but then, then she told me something else I had suspected but never dared it true. She may have some kind of feelings for the girl. What’s crazy is I saw it coming. I knew before it happened. I told myself to exclude her from the deal… to let her have anyone but that girl. I didn’t listen to my own instincts…foolishness.
I feel so hurt now…
I don’t really know what to feel, what is the right emotion?

I’m not going to be able to do this. I can’t sleep with other people…
And I definitely cannot stand the thought of someone else touching her. Making her moan, making her come…
WHAT WAS I THINKING????

Can anyone make sense of this?  ….i can’t.

This in from Maize...

Rusty Gordon lost her fight last night (progressive supranuclear palsy) and passed away after a brief time with hospice.

You may remember Rusty from any or all of the following: She was a music producer for many years (Rustron Productions and Publishing]; produced one of the first-ever women-only women’s music festivals (Yale University, 1972); started the Whimsey Political Clearinghouse for women (1967); heavily involved with NOW (1970 onwards); helped start the Florida LGBT Democratic Caucus (1995), with which she held various offices; involved with many LGBT causes through Equality Florida and other groups; and was named as a Feminist Who Changed America and awarded the Veteran Feminists of America medal (2008). Most recently the Palm Beach County Democratic Committee established the Rusty Gordon Award, to be given to people who have exhibited extensive commitment to local community activism.

She is survived by her life partner Davilyn “Davy” Whims.

A memorial is being planned for early December in the West Palm Beach area.

Gay Activities Wanted....

Well guys, there isn’t much to talk about today… Like everyone else I am really looking forward to the weekend. Kiara is going to be gone on a two-week mission, so she won’t be able to email me. Life is pretty mundane. I did, however, talk to two girls on a iPhone app I am on called Loopt Mix. Maybe that will lead me somewhere. I am not sure if one of them is gay and I am not sure if the other one is feeling me; we will see though.

I wish there were more gay communities or activities nearby but unfortunately between the Christian and military influences it isn’t that popular of a lifestyle around here…But Austin is close so maybe I should start checking out things there and sucking up the hour drive….

ahhhhhh!

i know i haven’t posted in forever… haven’t been in the writing mood… i thought I should write a tad about what is current with me…

OMG… I have felt so amazing lately!!!  I am so at peace with myself and God and my life… I am so in love with my hubby and have such a desire for him (tmi warning: love-making = dy-no-mite!!!)… I have been so full of joy… so feeling the spirit move and work in my life…just breathing-in life… lovin it

i am not saying that life has been peachy-keen all around… there have been the typical life crap happenings but life is life and i am still stable on my rock!

there are still some decisions to be made coming up, but nothing pending at the moment… will be in touch… some day

History in the Making

As President Obama today signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, the following 29 organizations issued this joint statement:

History in the Making

It took much too long, more than a decade. And it came at too great a price: the brutal killings of Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. are just two among the thousands of crimes motivated by hate and bigotry.

But this week, the president put pen to paper and fulfilled a campaign promise, the signing of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, extending the federal hate crimes statute to include sexual orientation and gender identity along with race, religion, gender, national origin and disability. Our deepest hope and strong belief is that this new law will save lives. Now, lawmakers and the president have made an imperative statement to the country and the world: Our nation will no longer tolerate hate-motivated violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.

We have worked long and hard for this and its passage is historic.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program, there are nearly 8,000 hate crime-related incidents annually, and more than 1,200 of those incidents involve violence based on sexual orientation or gender identity. And even more alarming, while the overall occurrence of hate crimes is declining nationally, hate crimes against LGBT people have been increasing. This year alone, we saw hate crimes trials in the brutal killings of two transgender women, Angie Zapata and Lateisha Green.

As a result of this legislation, if local jurisdictions are unable or unwilling to investigate or prosecute hate crimes based on sexual orientation or gender identity, the Justice Department can now step in. And that’s why the LGBT community never stopped working for this historic day.

This legislation not only has practical value, but is a symbol of our progress. It is the first time in the nation’s history that Congress has passed explicit protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. We could not have reached this moment without the powerful support of our allies who stood with us every step of the way. We are deeply grateful to civil rights, civic, faith and disability rights groups, as well as law enforcement and district attorney organizations that worked side by side with the LGBT advocates. We are equally thankful to Congress, President Obama and members of his administration for passing and signing this bill into law.

While today we celebrate this marker of progress, we must recognize it as only one of the building blocks to full equality and demand that it be just a first step toward equal treatment under federal law in all areas of our lives. And we must focus on the next step.

The passage of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act provides us with an opportunity. We must use this moment to educate and keep the momentum going so that we can continue to make progress on the local, state and federal levels. Yes, legislation takes a long time — often years of work. Yet, our community is on the cusp of passing much-needed protections.

This week, we call upon lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, families and allies to take this opportunity of increased media and public attention on hate crimes to educate co-workers, classmates, neighbors, family members and friends about our lives, and about why we need not only their friendship and love, but their vocal support for a more just and equal America for LGBT people. If your members of Congress voted in support of hate crimes legislation, call them and thank them. Then ask them to be there for us again when the vote turns to workplace nondiscrimination, military service and partnership rights.

With your help and our collective pressure, equality is within reach.

When talking about the need for hate crimes legislation, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said: “The time for debate is over.”

She was right.

Just as the time has finally come for stronger hate crime protections, it is also time to pass an inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act, repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, and ensure that health care, economic policy and immigration reform incorporate the needs of LGBT people.

The time for debate is over.

It's Law! President Obama Signs Hate Crimes Legislation

 

 

 

 

 

 

From The Human Rights Campaign website.

10/28/2009

Washington – The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, praised President Barack Obama today for signing the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law.  The new law gives the Justice Department the power to investigate and prosecute bias-motivated violence where the perpetrator has selected the victim because of the person’s actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.  The legislation was added as a provision to the FY 2010 National Defense Authorization Act earlier this Summer.  For a comprehensive retrospective and historical overview of hate crimes advocacy visit: www.hrc.org/loveconquershate.

“This law honors our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender brothers and sisters whose lives were cut short because of hate,” said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese.  “Today’s signing of the first major piece of civil rights legislation to protect LGBT Americans represents a historic milestone in the inevitable march towards equality.  Although this is a major step in fighting the scourge of hate violence, it is not the end of the road.  As a community, we will continue to dedicate ourselves to changing not only laws but also hearts and minds.  We know that hate crimes not only harm individuals, but they terrorize entire communities.  After more than a decade of advocacy, local police and sheriffs’ departments now have the full resources of the Justice Department available to them.”

statement on the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 28, 2009

Equality Across America statement on the
Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act

Today President Barack Obama signs into law the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. This is the first time federal action has been taken to protect people who are violently victimized for their gender identity or sexual orientation. However, this expansion of federal hate crimes protections to cover sexual orientation and gender identity sends a mixed message.

“It’s good that the U.S. government has finally taken action to deter hate crimes against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. But by continuing to permit or even require discrimination against LGBT people in our relationships, in public service and in the workplace, the government fuels the very bigotry that results in violent attacks,” said Tanner Efinger of Equality Across America.

Passage of the Act shows that escalated protest over the past year, such as at the National Equality March (NEM) on October 11th, is putting significant pressure on Congress to address anti-LGBT discrimination.

“We applaud and congratulate Matthew Shepard’s mom, Judy, who has inspired so many over the last eleven years and did so again when she spoke at the National Equality March, this October,” said Robin McGehee, co-director of the NEM. “She has truly shown what being a fierce advocate for equality and justice is truly about, even after facing such a horrible tragedy based in hate.”

Equality Across America will use this federal action to redouble our efforts to mobilize forces in all 435 Congressional districts to fight for full equality in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

wednesdayblog

I’ve had a seriously scarily fabulous day today.  Seriously, because it just was and scarily, because then I have to watch out for le manic tendencies.

i’ll stop using sentence case for a start.  it’s become a habit today.  my fingers have been on fire, my waferlike imac keyboard has morphed into an ono sendai.  i wrote a kickass column about gender and sexuality and then i wrote my first ever veryshortstory to submit to a dodgy book project; got a drag queen, a publisher and my gf to read it – and they all like it.  i was VERY surprised.  esp by my gf.  i also got paid for nine photo prints, walked the dogs on the beach, shifted stuff around, printed more photos blablabla.  an active day that i enjoyed is a strange and wonderful thing indeed.

i still need to pack for going away tomorrow, incl something to wear to a cocktail party.  hmm.  little black dress?  not an option, not with my bandy, hairy legs.  wanna impress the gf though.  ok, nekkid it is.

i still haven’t written 3 plastic articles tho, dammit.  i tried to start, but suddenly the fire went out of my hunt and peck typing digits and the keyboard turned into … well … one of those steampunk [ha!] beige things.  will i do them tonight?  who knows, but time, as ever, will reveal all.

it’s actually the first time my gf and i have gone away purely for fun – well, she does need to impress a hot lesbian at a dinner party, but hey, she’ll have me sitting next to her – the perfect dykeccessory.  it’s in the bag.

jaaa … this kind of mood causes arrogance.  still, kept tempered, it’s not a bad thing, i have been so freaking morbid lately.

ag fokkit, actually i haven’t finished strutting and preening.  the short story thingy took me under an hour to write, i have never done it before and am completely hopeless at plot.  since asking others to read it and rereading it about four times myself, i got a few more plotty sort of notions and … i think if i am not careful, i might just try my hand at a little bit more fiction.

Bondage May Make Men Happier!

Bondage and discipline may actually make men happier, according to the first national survey of Australians’ fetish habits.

The new sex study has revealed that 2 percent of Australian men and 1.4 percent of women admit to enjoying dominance, submission and sadomasochism-type sex in the past year.

But researchers involved in the phone survey of 20,000 people say they expect many more Australians to be engaging in the practice but unwilling to label it BDSM (bondage, discipline, domination and submission).

“There will definitely be more men and women who have sexual tastes in this direction but won’t call it this,” said Dr. Juliet Richters, of the University of New South Wales.

“They might not like sex magazines but they just happen to like being tied up and spanked as part of foreplay.

“Ask them if they’re into BDSM they’ll say ‘Yuck, no’.” (who would say that about BDSM???)

The survey results, to be presented at the World Association of Sexual Health congress in Sydney this week, give the first snapshot of Australians involved in bondage behavior.

These fetishes were most common among gay, lesbian and bisexual people and heterosexuals who are “bi-interested”, said Dr. Richters, the lead researcher. (BULL SHIT!)

In women, BDSM was most popular among under 20-year-olds and those who had a partner they didn’t live with. There were no age or relationship trends in men, she said.

People who engaged in the habit were more likely to be sexually adventurous in other ways, like trying anal sex and phone sex, looking at internet pornography or using sex toys.

“These are people for whom sex is a hobby,” Dr Richters said.

They were no more likely to have suffered sexual difficulties, sexual abuse or coercion or anxiety than other Australians.

In fact, says Dr. Richters, men into BDSM scored significantly better on a scale of psychological well being than other men.

“This seems to imply that these men are actually happier as a result of their behavior, though we’re not sure why,” she said.

“It might just be that they’re more in harmony with themselves because they’re into something unusual and are comfortable with that.

“There’s a lot to be said for accepting who you are.”

Researchers said the study helps break down the reigning stereotype that people into bondage and discipline were damaged as children and were therefore “dysfunctional”.

“We really found that BDSM is simply a sexual interest or subculture attractive to a minority, not a pathological symptom of past abuse or difficulty with ‘normal’ sex,” Dr. Richters said.

“They’ve just got a broader and more unusual sexual repertoire than most.”

Atlanta Gay Pride 2009 on Halloween

Gay Pride falls on Halloween this year. How perfect is that? Who loves Halloween more as a group than the gay community? The opportunity to get creative and festive with Pride attire is now open to all new vistas of audacious, outrageous and fabulous.

The change in date was necessary to secure Piedmont Park for the event. Holding Pride anywhere other than Piedmont Park seems wrong. Atlanta Pride needs to be held in the heart of Midtown. That is where it belongs. Personally I am thrilled with timing and venue.

Stop stirring hatred and violence - a message to Kenya Media houses

When the marriage of Chege and Daniel hit the Kenyan headlines, media houses went to extremes to attract viewing audiences. KTN even invaded the parents of Chege and behaved in a way that can only be called cruel and despicable.

This blog is a continuation of an issue that’s bothering me -the irresponsible hatred aired on radio and incitement to violence. I started with a podcast and in my last post shared correspondence with Caroline Mutoko of Kiss FM who surprisingly defended gay bashing DJs on Classic FM. I’ve had further correspondence with Caroline Mutoko in the last 24 hours which went something like this

“Dear Caroline…I hope that you find these comments useful and have it in your hearts to take them seriously. We are a country in pain that is in dire need of healing. You should be the first ones to step up to the plate. It would be a great step if you could apologise to Charles and Daniel as well as all people of different sexual oreintation to yourselves. I think your listeners will applaud you”.

In response Caroline wrote

“Paula;
There is hunger, floods, cholera, Swine flu and other more important issues to deal with.
I’m bored with this nonsense about gay people. I have The World Cup Trophy to deal with
And Tusker’s new brief, Zain’s tariff to execute and serious sales to create for Air Kenya, the people
Who pay our salaries and keep us in business. My day will not be taken up by the drama about
A few homosexuals, I don’t care how livid some people maybe.

If you are disappointed with us, fine. But I really need to do other things with my time.
On my list of priorities afew gay people, are not that important. Yes, I’m being brutally honest….”

and “….Honestly, you’d think I don’t have gay friends!! I do, but enough!”

I totally understand how busy Caroline Mutoko is, hell who isn’t busy these days?  But she doesn’t seem to hear what the listeners are saying. I am not protesting her or Classic FM DJ’s opinion on gays, I’m protesting hate reporting, and incitement to violence.

Classic FM and it seems Kiss FM seem to have a fixed mindset about programming vitriol to attract listeners, and will even use the radio platform to promote hatred and xenophobia. This is what I’m up in arms about.

Kenyans deserve more ethical approach and more relevant programming from all media houses.

We are a country steeped in grief over post election violence. What we really need now is deep healing, and radio stations have the most important role in this.

As the most influential radio presenter in Kenya it saddens me that Caroline Mutoko cannot find time to think deeply about this, about the impact of Kiss FM and Classic FM programming on the public mindset and especially on stirring hatred and calling to violence. She was one of the most listened to voices during the Post election violence. Afterwards the public fiercly defended the media houses during the Media bill fiasco. We trust our radio presenters and we permit them to influence us. That’s a big gift, why don’t they cherish it?

So my question to you readers is how can we influence the media and get them to apologise and reform?

Who can we write to and complain about media irresponsibility in order to change this irresponsible and plain dangerous trend? Leave a comment. Thanks

FRC Freaking Out Again-This Time Over Whether Gay Seniors Exist!

The Family Research Center has posted another missive of disinformation, full of falsehoods, misdirection, deliberate misstatement of facts, and continued posting of disproven and discredited research.  All in the name of God, of course.  See the FRC’s page at www.frc.org

From FRC’s Washington Update page:

For HHS, a Senior Moment

Before we entrust Secretary Kathleen Sebelius with health care reform, maybe Americans should take a closer look at how her Department spends other taxpayer dollars. Even the Washington Post called Friday’s announcement from Health and Human Services (HHS) an “eye opener,” writing that the President’s “gay outreach continues.” A $1.4 trillion deficit aside, HHS has set aside a quarter million dollars to launch the first-ever National Resource Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Elders.



Apparently, our nation is never too broke to advance a radical social agenda. The agency released a statement on the Center last week, saying its purpose would be to “help community-based organizations understand the unique needs… of older LGBT individuals and assist them in implementing programs for local service providers…” In the release, HHS regurgitates the Left’s propaganda to justify the waste, claiming that “1.5 to 4 million” LGBTs are age 60 and older. In reality, HHS has no idea how many LGBT seniors exist. No one does! The movement is only a few decades old, and people who are 80- or 90-years-old didn’t grow up in a culture where it was acceptable to identify with this lifestyle.

Of course, the real tragedy here–apart from the unnecessary spending–is that, given the risks of homosexual conduct, these people are less likely to live long enough to become senior citizens! Yet once again, the Obama administration is rushing to reward a lifestyle that poses one of the greatest public health risks in America. If this is how HHS prioritizes, imagine what it could do with a trillion dollar health care overhaul!

So it would seem that gay seniors don’t exist. (Palm Springs and Southern Florida not withstanding!)  Apparently, from what the FRC says above, homosexuality has only existed for a few decades, so there aren’t any old queers out there!  I wonder how they would classify Oscar Wilde.  If he wasn’t homosexual, I think Great Britain owes him an apology, and a pardon.

What it really comes down to is the FRC’s preoccupation with anal sex.  The information they quote from various articles deals mostly with anal sex, and they just can’t seem to get past the idea that someone might engage in that activity.  Instead, it’s “one of the greatest public health risks in America”.  I wonder if I were to  hunt around on their site, if I’d find any articles about smoking, drinking, or obesity?  Not that I’m going to waste my time there, I have a strong aversion to wading through manure, but I do wonder.

Out of all the spending in the Federal Budget, FRC is concerned about $250,000 to assist senior citizens who happen to be gay.  You’d think a religiously oriented group like that would worry more about the spending we’re not doing helping starving people in sub-saharan Africa, or other parts of the world.  Well, of course, it’s just that they can’t get that idea of anal sex out of their minds long enough to concentrate on anything else.  I wonder which problem Jesus would be most interested in?

Wicked Wednesday: The Park Bench

We had reservations for dinner and a movie but the only thing that looked good enough to eat or watch was you. I was to pick you up at work to catch our 6:30 reservations at Sky. Well, I’d pick you up as intended but there would be a slight alteration in the evening’s  plans. I took my time getting ready – not that I had that much to wear. Picking out clothes was not going to be taking any time at all this evening. I took a long, hot shower and shaved it all – smooth as silk and naked as as the day I was born. I love to run my fingers over my bare lips – full and ripe with the promise of events to come. Mmmmmm…to come…I smiled at myself as I meticulously applied my makeup. Big smoky eyes and full pale lips. I stood naked in front of the mirror and realized I’d forgotten something. No birthday suit would be complete without boots. I found them under the bed. Soft black italian leather, skin tight, knee high. I zipped them up the sides and went for my car coat, the scarf gifted from the neighbor upon her return from India and black leather gloves. A final check in the mirror and I was ready to go.

A chill breeze caught me by surprise as I locked the front door and turned for the car. Although my coat came down to mid-thigh, there was nothing else to protect me from the elements and again I grinned at the sheer audacity of leaving my provincial little neighborhood in nothing but a coat and boots. I prayed I wouldn’t have a flat tire or run out of gas on the way.

You came out to meet me and I stepped out and threw you the keys, letting you drive. I didn’t say a word. Just slipped into the passenger seat, leaned into you and kissed you hello. You pulled out of the parking lot and I turned in my seat and threw one booted leg over the console and propped the other against the parking brake. You throw me a look of shock, knowing that I never go without a seat belt and then do a comical double take when you realize that my coat has opened to reveal pale white thighs disappearing into moist, swollen flesh – bare and ready to be touched. Which I do.

You slam on the brakes, narrowly avoiding what could be a potentially embarrassing rear ender as we come to a stop light. “Are you going to dinner like that?” Mmmmm…dinner yes, but not exactly what you had in mind. “I want to go to the park. Take me to the park.” Your eyes flash and a slick smile spread slowly across your face. You had once mentioned your fantasy of fucking me on a park bench and it has dawned on you that I might have just planned out your ultimate birthday present.

Early spring and the light is just starting to fade at this hour. There are a lot of people taking their evening walks around the park’s many paths and hiking trails. We park in a fairly secluded spot and you turn to me. Your eyes riveted on my fingers as they slip in and out, around my rock hard clit and back in again. I lift my fingers to my mouth and take a taste before offering them to you. You suck greedily and reach for me but I hold you at bay. I grab my bag at my feet and, adjusting my coat, I get out of the car and start walking up the hill. You have no choice but to follow me, no desire to do anything but.

Darkness begins to fall and I pull you to a nearby bench – just off the main pathway but tucked into a small wooded area. Offering little privacy but the walkers and runners are getting few and far between and all mothers pushing strollers have taken their charges home for dinner, baths and bed. I push you down lightly and then straddle your lap. Taking your face in my hands, I kiss you lightly, playfully and then deeper and full of intention. Our breathing quickens, your jeans are wet now that I am riding your thigh as I grind against you involuntarily. “wait”  I whisper, “I want something.” I reach into my bag and pull out a small bottle of lube. You look at me questioningly and then knowingly. I pour it into the palm of your hand and lead your hand between my legs. I know I’m wet enough for most things but for this I need a little extra help and you start by sliding two, no three, fingers inside me.  Curling them towards you and I gasp with a rushing intake of breath. You fuck me slowly, my coat covering both of us – two lovers getting carried away in the gloaming on a cool spring night. Now you have four fingers inside me and I breathe deeply and methodically. Willing myself to open up to  you. Your thumb slips in and your hand curls into itself as you disappear inside me. I look down and see the bones of your wrist up against me and sigh deeply as you fill me up.

Now I can let myself go. It is dark and we are alone. I can’t control my deep throated moans as you fuck me harder. You reach around and put one finger in my ass and I am full to the hilt. Riding you, frantic, exposed and completely there for you. My orgasm comes in white hot waves and I throw my head back and you bury your face in my neck as I hold you tightly while my body thrusts against you of its own accord. I feel as though I’m exploding from the inside out and I don’t want to stop until you laugh and whisper that you think I might have broken a few fingers in there. I am reluctant to let you go but I know you must be aching to come. Yet when I ask what’s next you say, “we’re going to dinner, of course”.

And so I sit in a banquette at Sky, eating steak frittes in my coat and boots. Silently cursing the ruination of the silk lining every time I watch your hand move from plate to mouth. At least I’ve been given some time to plan my next move. Payback, in this case, will be rich indeed.

Giulietta e Romeo (1996)

Same-Sex Marriage

Russian Lesbians got married in Canada on October 23, 2009.  Way to go girls!  It’s a dangerous way of provoking government and society, but necessary to raise awareness.
Former soviet union republics and Russia itself has not caught up to the rest of Europe and are quiet far from implementing laws that would protect Human Rights.  These women were denied the right to marry in their native Russia and they came to Canada, according to the United Press International.   This is actually great and I can’t stop laughing.  Russian law does recognize international marriages regardless of genders.  I would like to see how Russian officials are going to weasel out of this one as I can predict that when they return home, girls will seek official recognition….   1:0 Russian lesbians are up….

Giving journalists a bad name

I was shocked when I heard Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton had decided to drop out of the running for the open governor’s seat in 2010. She cited “deep personal reasons” as to why she was leaving a race she had only entered in August. Bloggers, new junkies and yes, the Govfreak, wondered if she was pushed out, considering that the same day she made her announcement, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel ran a front page story about Mayor Tom Barrett receiving “encouragement” to run from the Obama administration. 

I was looking forward to watching Babs mount an ineffective and decidedly leftist campaign in moderate Wisconsin, but having interviewed Lawton a few times, I know firsthand that she is not up for a debate with either Scott Walker, Mark Neumann or the average fifth-grader.

However, that belief doesn’t mean I encourage sloppy, sensational journalism in the name of “conservatism.” I am referring to Jerry Bader, a conservative talker on Green Bay’s AM1360 WTAQ. In a blog posted Oct. 26, Bader “reported” that Lawton was dropping out of the governor’s race because information tying her to a lesbian affair was about to become public. Bader repeatedly assured his blog readers that his information was credible and factual, and that he had complete confidence in his source.

AM1360 WTAQ claimed that the information in Bader’s blog had not been reported by their news staff, so they were not officially putting the rumors into play, but when you go to the station’s website and it has a prominent link to the blog, it is at least tacitly giving its okay to the content.

Lawton, for her part, was upset by the blog. When a reporter for a local La Crosse television station asked her about the allegation, Lawton called the rumor, “an outrageous lie.” 

“It becomes clear the vulnerability one invites just by running for office and serving in government, doesn’t it? I am about to celebrate… 36 years,” Lawton said, before beginning to cry. She asked for the cameras to be turned off and left the interview.

By 10 a.m. Tuesday morning Bader was changing his tune. He released a statement saying he had “lost confidence in the sources” who had provided him with the information on Lawton. He called Lawton’s campaign manager to apologize and took the original story off his blog site.

I find Bader’s behavior to have given journalists a bad name. He was told a sensational personal story about a political enemy  and he ran with it. He claims to have used a reliable source, but having been on the receiving end from a source, I often received material that the provider felt would appeal to my political bent.  I didn’t have a highly rated talk show to support, so I could easily toss aside the outrageous, or at least take the time to find credible sources I wouldn’t have to recant within a day.

Lawton has said the information isn’t true, and after watching her reaction, I believe her. But even if it were true, don’t we live in a nation where a person’s sexual orientation shouldn’t matter? In fact, it doesn’t seem to matter to Wisconsin voters who have already placed an openly gay woman, Tammy Baldwin, in Congress. The only people this type of slanderous accusation appeals to are the ultra-conservatives who feel as much contempt for the person as they do for the sin.

Unfortunately, those are the same people who find Bader appealing and make it difficult for hard-working, honest and ethical journalists to thrive.

Women's Book Group at Out Loud Books

Hi Everyone,

The Women’s Book Group will meet Sunday, November 8, at 3:00 pm to discuss The Secret Keeping by Francine Saint Marie.

“Dr. Helaine Kristenson is the leading authority in the field of psychosexual relations and the best-selling author of the how-to bible, “Keeping Mr. Right.” Professionally, she deals with secrets of the heart everyday. Privately, she even has a few of her own to keep her busy. What’s so Top Secret? Her seven-year relationship with notorious super-model, Sharon Chambers…a one very hot union that lately has become something less than perfect.
Wandering unwittingly into the middle of their tangled web is disillusioned investment strategist, Lydia Beaumont, a sleeping beauty who’s just about to wake up.
Add to the resulting fray a dozen lawyers, a handful of corporate executives and a gaggle of overzealous reporters and you’ve got one highly public love triangle. And the more private a woman is, the more exposed she becomes.
THE SECRET KEEPING is a high stakes, fast paced romance, where the moral of the story is that money can indeed buy you love…if it’s invested wisely.” (Book Jacket)

This is the first book in a trilogy and OutLoud will be glad to order the second book, Fortune is a Woman and the third, The Stolen Kiss, for you. Sorry, but they will not be eligible for the book group discount.

Don’t forget, there will be no meeting in December.

Hope to see you at the meeting and, as usual, you don’t have to finish or even read the book to attend. But if you don’t read this one, you will miss out on of the most entertaining books of the year.

Lesbian/ Bisexual Musicians

I’m not hooked on anything in particular, right now.  I have musical angst, right now, and it’s awful.  I can’t listen to one group/artist for more than ten minutes.  It’s the worst thing, ever.  All I want to do is play my flute, but as soon as I do, I don’t want to anymore.

Oh, right, this isn’t supposed to be about me.  I’m sorry, guys, I think I’m just really conceited.  I can’t help it.

 

So, I read this article about Bianca Casady.  It was about why she cross dresses.  And she talked a lot about how she was shocked that she was left unscathed despite her very obvious gayness.  But, you know what I think?  I don’t know of many female artists that have been torn apart because of their sexuality.  For serious.

Look at Ani Difranco!  Not only was she NOT torn apart for being bisexual, but when she married a man her fans were disgusted.  If anything, she was torn apart for marrying a man!

Truthfully, Ani Difranco is the only other lesbian/bisexual musician I can think of.  But, I mean, I think it’s because she’s a woman.  I mean, if she were a man, what then?  I think she would’ve been torn apart by fans and haters alike.

Same thing for Bianca, who wears a MUSTACHE most of the time.  Please don’t call me close minded for bringing this up, it just occurred to me because I read that article.

Actually, fuck, go ahead and call me close minded.  Do it, I dare you.

"We'll Figure It Out"

* Since Nightrider Wants To Stay Fully Anonymous On This Blog There Will Be No Photos Of Her…Sorry*

“We’ll Figure It Out” was said probably a thousand times over the 4 days  Nightrider and I were in Seattle in the middle of September. I am a horrible navigator, probably mostly because I don’t take getting lost to seriously, and everytime we ended up unsure of where we were or even where we were going those words came out of my mouth. I’m not sure if Nightrider was amused 100% of the time but for the most part we had an awesome time even when we were just giggling in the car over ending up at the other end of the state then we intended to be at.

This was the first big trip Nightrider and I have gone on just the two of us. Last year on Mother’s day we took the kids to Seattle and visited their Aunt, and last October we went to her family reuninon in Vegas but even then we were carpooling with her cousin. So this was a pretty big trip for us. The kids stayed with their Dad for a week and we had some friends puppy sit and we took off for a few days of much needed alone time, reconnecting and honestly just some relaxation. This was also Nightrider’s MSaversary. In August of 2008 she was diagnosed with MS and we thought we really deserved a vacay for getting through the first year with a life changing disease, which alot of couples dont.

We left for Seattle very early in the morning (Nightrider is a get out of town before sunup Nazi) and were on the road Starbucks in hand by 6 am. We enjoyed the road trip (8 hours), stopped when we wanted to, sang along with the radio and talked about alot of things we hadnt had time to get around to lately. One funny thing we talked about while driving was how when you travel with men they make you feel bad anytime you need to stop. It happens this was because men work point A to point B. The way women work, and especially lesbians is from point A to point D, maybe back to C, and eventually to point Z and we F anywhere in between lol.

Our first night in Seattle we checked into our hotel and decided get cleaned up and go out for a nice dinner in the old Red Light District on Capital Hill. We spent sometime walking around and decided on Julia’s On Broadway which is a restraunt that also is a drag club. We had a great time in homo land and felt right at home. The food was great, especially the turkey chili Nightrider had and we enjoyed the ambiance. We were a bit tired so after dinner we went back to hotel and did some of the “reconnecting” I mentioned earlier.

 

The next day we got up early and went to grab breakfast in downtown Seattle, we ended up at this amazingly tasty all natural bagelry and then spent out morning walking through the Pike Street Market and bought gifts for the kids and some of our friends and enjoyed people watching and shopping. I decided to sport the new leopard print dress I had recently picked up at Torrid and felt like a million bucks. Am I fierce or what?

After spending the morning at the market we headed out to visit Nightrider’s Aunt and Uncle who live nearby and spent the afternoon and most of the evening with them. It was great to see good family and we had an absolutely amazing dinner. Then we went back to the hotel and enjoyed the rest of our night together.

The next day we got up early again and headed out to Freemont, its a bit of a hippy town and we thought it would be fun to have breakfast some place kitchy and to do a little shopping in the area. We ate at a great diner called Roxy’s and had a really nice time there. It was a very liberal ambiance and we even took a photo of one of the signs we got a kick out of in the restraunt.

After breakfast we went and saw the Freemont Troll, and did a little shopping. Then we went back to downtown Seattle and took some more photos and did a little sight seeing. That night we spent sometime in our hotel fucking and relaxing and decided to finally get dressed and go get some food. This was the one time getting lost wasnt so fun as we were starving and couldnt find a restraunt that wasnt fast food anywhere near us. After about an hour of being lost, stuck in traffic and dying of starvation we finally gave in and hit a Pizza Hutt next to our hotel. When we got out of the car I wasn’t paying attetion and tripped over a parking curb and busted open my toes, and hurt my knee. I ended up crying like a big baby and hurting my pride, so we got the pizza to go and Nightrider took care of me back at the hotel.

On our last day in Seattle we hit Pike Street again and did a bunch more shopping and people watching, we had lunch at Crabpot anld then headed back to our hotel to get ready for the big event of our trip THE PINK CONCERT!!!! We got looking sexy and left early since from what we heard the line was already forming since 2am! We got there and got our place in line and ended up waiting in line for 4 hours before the show started. Nightrider has a bit of an MS flare but was a tropper and it was totally worth it once the concert started. The Ting Tings opened and were great and then Pink came on. First off let me tell you that I am pretty sure Nightrider would leave me for her goddess Pink at the drop of a hat and I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating potatoe chips either The concert was phenominal and sexy and it was like a lesbianfest and a great atmosphere. I can’t even explain how awesome the concert was but she did appear wearing this

and (oh lordy) this

and here are a couple videos showing the miraculousness as she covered Bohemian Rhapsody
and the orgasmic cover of Touch Myself as well.

We didn’t get back to the hotel till around 2 in the morning and we had to hit the road back to Boise at 5am. Nightrider’s cousin rode back with us and we had a nice time talking with him and before we knew it we were back with the kids and back to real life.

All in all definitly a good trip though!

Skim

Written by Mariko Tamaki, illustrated by Jillian Tamaki, 2008.

 Skim and her friend Lisa are working on becoming witches when a classmate’s boyfriend dumps her and then commits suicide.  The GCL (Girls Celebrate Life!) Club is formed in response and begins a vapidly tyrannical reign over how the school should feel and behave in the wake of the event, paying particular attention to Skim who is falling into a deepening depression.  (In a class “self-love” exercise, one girl writes that unhappiness makes her sad, while Skim writes that ignorance makes her sad.  Agreed!)  As if navigating the demented dynamics of her school’s grief isn’t enough, Skim ends up falling in love and having to figure out how she feels about this constrained first of hers that she can’t talk about and that doesn’t seem to fit into the world around her. 

I forgot how lyrical this graphic novel is, especially when you take the time to look at the pictures properly along with the text.

Skim has won several awards and was short listed for a Governor General’s Literary Award in the Fall of 2008.  This first time nomination of a graphic novel for the prestigious award only included Mariko Tamaki and not her cousin and the illustrator, Jillian, creating contorversy over the recognition of illustration and text sharing equal importance in graphic novels.

So Little To Do & So Much Time- Strike That Reverse It.

MIA is my middle name, or atleast it sure feels like it should be. I know I have been like the prodigal blogger all of a sudden but man i’ve been busy and swamped! My priorities have had to change alot lately and I’ve had to drop some projects for the good of my sanity and switch things up a bit. I have alot of things I want to blog about and when I’m procrastinating and unorganized I make lists, it helps. So here we go, all the things I would like to blog about this week in no particular order…

1. Seattle Trip-Nightrider and I went in the middle of September, yep its been that long since you’ve heard from me. For shame.

2. Changes at work and school

3. Why I am no longer webcasting with the CurveNetwork

4. Being deathly sick UGH this was directly after Seattle

5. My Fall TV top choices list (Marry, Date, Kill, Fuck, Bestfriend) this will mostly likely be a mashup of the usual suspects

6. How changing your hair can change you life

7. Going pantless part time

8. Being the couch that is constantly surfed, aka my girlfriend is a hippy…

9. My life and HAES

10. What I am loving about my life right now  -No complaining rule!

So thats its, i know this is another damn teaser but I am hoping to write atleast one of these today and maybe I can get back in the swing of things.

Thanks for bearing with me readers!

DBIH merchandise

(h/t @ahfdemocrat)

We at DBIH can only assume that our spike in traffic (and crazy commenters- see below) mean one thing: book deal. And don’t worry potential publishers, we are ready. Boy are we ready. In fact, we are so ready (!!!!) that we’ve already gotten some ideas together for merchandising DBIH. You don’t have to thank us, your money will be enough.

Firstly, the book. Clearly. It would help if it was scratch and sniff, but if it isn’t, I guess we can deal. In the book, we could include some of our favorite recipes as well as a map of our favorite locations in DC and around the world (including, but not limited to: Baked and Wired, any S$$ which serves PSLs, anywhere where Tall can buy more Burberry and Marc Jacobs, and the Circulator route that goes down K street). Obviously, this book would be a best-seller. It would clearly outsell Amy Tan and Dan Brown (fucking assholes) combined. At least when we make things up (I’m talking to you crazy-ass commenters), it’s funny.

Secondofly, some kind of visual media- preferably a major motion picture, but an HBO miniseries would do (those win a shit-ton of Emmys). Playing me would be Ginnifer Goodwin. I just adore her hair. Playing Work Chucks would obviously be Drew Barrymore, in her current crazy-ass jeans+hightops incarnation. Her look is phenomenal. Dirty Hippie would be Julia Stiles circa 10 Things and @ahfdemocrat thinks he’d be Seth Cohen. I’m not sure he’s funny enough. We’re still unclear if Tall will be played by Gisele Bunchen or a gazelle- I think it could probably go either way.

The extreme popularity of the movie/miniseries would prompt NBC/Universal (aka Jack Donaghy) into further merchandising deals with us. DBIH would be everywhere, including a themed restaurant, preferably somewhere totally awesome in DC/London. Chef Hooles could come up with the menu, which would be closely mirrored upon DBIH favorite restaurant Figs, but we would obviously add ice cream cake and mojitos.

The restaurant will be huge, because Chef Hooles is a great cook and we at DBIH love to eat. Yes we do.

I can just tell that people will really want to join the DBIH lifestyle. Who wouldn’t? It’s fucking amazing. We’d be willing (for a small fee, you know, a pound of flesh or so) to license a theme park ride, under a few conditions, namely that it be at Epcot. I fucking love Epcot. The ride would take average Americans (like you!) through the magical world of DBIH: SSR, Sarajevo, and Big Blue. There would be vodka watermelon for everyone and instead of uncomfy roller coaster seats like on It’s a Small World, everyone could sit in papasan chairs.

Finally, @ahfdemocrat recommended DBIH porno. This is kind of creepy. I’ll just let the suggestion come directly from him.

DBIH the porn magazine it would be babies, lesbian celebrities, me, and bradley whitford Creepy? yes. Would we make bank? Obvi.

Female Doctor (New Chariot Library, 1961)

Surprised that our ol’ buddy Orrie didn’t publish this one under his Kay Addams pen name. It’s about a lesbian doctor, a woman’s doctor, a doctor who is a Hitt man with a vagina…sorta…she’s not six foot three and 190 pounds…

Dr. Jane. She lesbianisn is a guarded secret, and she lusts after many of her patients. She is lonely in the small upper NY state town where she practices.  One male friend, who loaned her $18K to open her office, pines for her madly but she keeps him at arm’s length…

Her 17-year-old recpetionist is having trouble at home so Jane offers her apartment — they sleep in the same bed. Jane dares not make a move on the girl, but she likes having the girl in bed next to her.

She makes the mistake with a patient she thinks she could be gay. The woman has had bad experiences with men. One night Jane takes her out drinking and then seduces her…the next day the patient is freaked out and decides to blackmail jane: pay up, or be exposed and have your business ruined.  First it’s a few hundred dollars, then 500, then a grand…soon Jane’s bank account is depleted and she no longer cares.

When her male friend — now dating her receptionist — finds out Jane is gay, he knows why she has been turning down.  he disons her and calls in the loan note.

Jane is backed up against a wall with nowhere to turn — the note, the blackmail, an instaiable urge for vagina…until she meets a certain man, a succesful used car salesman, who makes her trust men again…see, she was raped twice, as a teen and in college by a boy she tought loved her…she doesn’t think any men are good until she meets a good one…

Not bad. Somewhat slow at first.  The best parts may be when Hitt slips in some politics — at times Jane muses on how the government should spend tax money on universal health care instead of bombs…topical then and now, it seems.  Jane, despite her lack of ethics in some matters, refuses to perform abortions because she is pro-life and believes the babies can be adopted by good families.

The novel also comments on alcoholism.  Jane, like many Hitt heroes and heroines, is a lush, her favorite neat Scoth.  She loses a patient in the OR at the hospital and she’s had a few before going in — this almost gets her expelled from the hispital and losing her license.  She knows she has a drinkling problem and tries to fight it.  Perhaps the love of a good man will suffice for the urges of booze and pussy?

Argentina's First LGBT Study

Lesbian and Gay business event organisers, GNetwork and Out Now Consulting are to join forces to carry out Argentina’s first ever study into LGBT consumers.

The findings of their online survey will be reported in the third quarter of 2010 by way of a syndicated report. It is envisaged that the information collected will lead to improved services including better work, social and lifestyle outcomes for Argentina’s LGBT community.

According to reports, Out Now’s CEO Ian Johnson said “With this new research we will begin to be able to understand the many lifestyle, social and economic factors affecting the daily lives of this significant group of people in Latin America”.

Loose Times at Ridley High (1984)

The succulent girls of Ridley High are about to graduate and this lust-filled take-off of a famous book fulfills every youthful fantasy ever dreamed of. Mad crushes on male teachers run rampant as our sweet young things explore their budding sexuality as well as each other’s bodies. So young, so innocent, so tender, these cute little lasses – bedecked in their mid-thigh uniforms – cross AND uncross their virginal legs for their instructors. With shoulder straps that outline their pert, young breasts, teachers struggle to maintain their raging passions. Student – teacher conferences take on a whole new meaning!! HOT!! Written by VCX

What A Difference A Day Can Make...

Oct 25th 2009

Today has been a good day…I’m very grateful for that indeed! I feel like I’m back in the light, back to life and back to being my self once again…Today has been a relaxing and yet productive day. I did my grocery shopping for the week and found most of the stuff I needed was on sale, so that wasn’t so bad *smile* It was nice weather for Mia and I to go for a long enjoyable walk together…I’ve played my guitar, read, and talked to friends on the phone and laughed a whole bunch too…It turns out my Sunshine (Mom) didn’t leave today and we made a fantastic Italian dinner (my fave) together as well…It was healthy and delicious, what more could a person ask for!

Tomorrow, I have my SLAA (12 step) meeting…I missed last week, which is something I haven’t done before. And I can honestly say I missed going. I missed the people also, they have become a part of me, like family I suppose…However, I wasn’t aware of any of this until this week, when I didn’t go…Which raises the question in my mind, does everything truly happen for a reason? And you know what? I suppose it does…I thought I was falling backwards into the abyss last week, only to comprehend that I’m in Divine hands after all…Although my infinitesimal mind couldn’t even begin to grasp God’s infinite wisdom…In fact, nothing favorable could possibly be expected when I’m arrogant enough to think otherwise…And yet, I often do…

I look forward to going back to work tomorrow as well…I do enjoy most of the people who ride on my bus, and the ones that I don’t appreciate, teach me some much-needed patience, if nothing else good comes from it, there is that…Actually, some of them honestly get on my last nerve…The worst ones are the sorority girls, I would rather shoot myself in the head on some days than have to be subjected to their voices and witless conversations…Then there’s the people I see 20 times a day, and of course they have bicycles or baby carriages and 25 kids in tow…Okay perhaps that was a slight exaggeration but I swear it feels that way sometimes…These particular people will ride the bus until the wheels come off *ugh* I drop them off on one side of the street, just to come back around to the other side, and there they are AGAIN! They take forever getting on and they take even longer getting off…Last week I was in no mood either and typically I don’t yell at them, but last week I sure did *smiling out loud* And then I have the ones that every single day come running to the bus stop at the last second or from a distance and you know, usually I find it somewhere in my heart to wait for them…Last week not so much! LOL If I did wait, oh man! They probably would’ve wished that I didn’t after all…

Sometimes…I wish I could just hang a note around my neck that says, yes, most days I don’t mind spoiling all of you!  I meant of course, more than you already are…HOWEVER some days I’m just not in the mood for it and you need to be at the bus stop on time or else! *chuckle* But during the week of the flowing river of femininity, I’m incapable of knowing my moods from one moment to the next so how could I expect those poor kids to know what to do?

I do have one passenger that makes my whole day complete though, each day she makes me happy, bad mood or not…She always puts a smile on my face and I really look forward to seeing her, and most days I do see her, without fail…She absolutely makes me melt inside, like I could slide right off my seat actually *hubba hubba* I think she could be from Chile or possibly Brazil? She is delicately beautiful. She seem’s very kind, sensitive, and completely unaware of how beautiful she is…She is soft-spoken and rather quiet…Yet, I can decipher that’s she is quite taken with me indeed…But! Oh God…I just try not to look at her most of the time or I say as little to her as possible…But you know, she stares at me and smiles so sweetly, and when she gets off the bus she always looks back at me and smiles, trying to make eye contact again…She is simply beautiful…I think of her often during the day and sometimes when I’m drifting off to sleep…And it just makes my day to see her and be in her presence for a moment or two…I’m deeply flattered by her attention, but I can never let her know this, nor can I allow her to be any closer to me than that…Although I would love to be in a blissful state of mind about all of this and completely unaware of the damage done from the last time I followed my heart down a very similar path…

Haven’t I learned this lesson once already!

I went so long (years) without feeling any chemistry with anybody and now this, again? I’ve driven the bus going on 9 years now and I’ve been asked out by some very beautiful people and some not so very beautiful people…And while yes, I do love to flirt, I had no trouble whatsoever NOT crossing the line with any of these people, a very inappropriate line, as I’ve always looked at it before…I even had to have one guy removed from riding my bus entirely, I just couldn’t get rid of him no matter how mean and cruel I was to him. And it’s not in my usual nature to be that way either…

But chemistry is something else all together…I have many very attractive and beautiful people around me all day at work, we chat and laugh…That’s it! Truthfully I don’t even notice people by outwardly appearances much…If you’ve seen one beautiful half-naked girl walking around campus, you’ve seen a million more of them and they all start to look the same after awhile…They start to sound the same too…And quite frankly I don’t find them very attractive, no matter how outwardly beautiful they may be…It takes something other than that for me in particular…I shall never become a rocket scientist or cure cancer but I’m fairly intelligent in my own witty way and it takes a certain amount (quite a bit) of intelligence to capture my heart…Also, kindness, compassion for others and enough self-confidence to get me to actually notice these things about you in the first place…I love and adore a Woman that knows what she wants and then pursues it…Well, of course if the object of her desire is available to be pursued that is…There is honor to also be considered, which is of the utmost importance as well…
