Scampering Back From the Hiatus


I awoke with these names in my head... surely they are characters from a forthcoming story tentatively entitled, "The Merman's Song":

Briinan
Jossuraje
Arthero
Zyne

What a perplexing and delicious way to greet the morning, I love it when that happens.

Jer is heading over to bond and I am trying to break the habit of making him wait when he arrives for me to finish getting ready. It is a tad ridiculous and just keeps happening, one of those atrocious habits that is born out of sheer laziness and poor time management skills.

I just love, love, love, love that guy. If I am the toothbrush, he is the floss, the Ron to my Harry, the Patty to my Sandi, the Pepper to my Doctor, the Dorothy to my Rose, the world's best person and my FAVOURITE. He keeps me sane, he really does.

The picture is from the wedding in which I performed last weekend. I think it is a classy and interesting shot.

There is loads to deliver and reveal as I took a brief hiatus, not intentionally, but I am back and here are some spoilers (blog spoilers, only in my world...):

Giggling during a show and completely "breaking",
Having one of the best conversations with a newfound friend,
My quest to find a person with whom I connect and go on a (clears throat and then gulps) date,
Planning my return trip to NYC,
Discussing the eloquence of one Dustin Lance Black at the Oscars and in his writing of the "Milk" screenplay,
Finding solace in listening to Sandi Patty (and a much overdue blog devoted to one of the most talented storytellers, the embodiment of passion, and one of the reasons I sing)....

Be well poppets and it is good to be alive, it really is... well, I don't really know what it is like to be dead (if there are hauntings and all that then maybe it would give life a run for its money...) but we shall stick with this... It is good to be alive.

I am overflowing with joy today,
The DASH (Haven't used that in a while)

P.S. I have 25 minutes to shower, get ready, and clean this mess of a room so Jer has a place to sit.... GREEEEEAT. :-)

The Kick Ass Brothers (And the Theatre Room I Am Going to Steal)

I just spent the day with my brothers, Bran Flakes and Patricio watching "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood", "Sin City", and "Live Free or Die Hard" in Bran Flake's KICK ASS KICK ASS KICK ASS Theatre Room. (It deserves all three kick asses and then some actually.) It was a Testosterone Day and I made it all the way through. Can we say the same for Patricio? (Titty baby. Ha.) I think that was the first blog smack talk I have "thrown down". I had never seen "Sin City" or "Live Free or Die Hard". Both were excellent. I did not want to leave the nirvana that is the magic room of cinema wonder. So, thanks to Bran Flakes for hosting and for having the idea. And Patrick, let me know how that nipple is treating you. Here's to smack talk... How liberating! (Especially when I am in control of the forum!) Here's to a kick ass theatre room. And to even more kick ass brothers, Dustin

Call to Action

This past Saturday I, with thousands of others across the country, attended a protest/rally of Proposition 8 and Act I (the adoption ban in Arkansas). My dear allies in this battle were Jay, Karen, their joyous son Quin, our mutual friend Greg, Amanda, Carter, Sarah Jane, Liz, and the brave Arkansans that showed up for the rally on the steps of our Capitol. It was bitterly cold and grey, but within I was ignited with passion and newfound purpose. As I listened to the stories of my fellow brothers and sisters, gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered, I was struck by the power of the many speaking as one. Then I began to visit my own story and was struck at how far I have come... to think back fourteen years ago when I had my brother tell my parents that I happened to be gay because I was so frightened as to what they would think, say, how they could ever love me, this abomination.... To now, a man standing with his friends and proclaiming "This is our right, What you have done is ...

I Love the Clarks

I LOVE THE CLARKS!!!!!!!!!!!! (I used twelve exclamation marks/points to show the significance of the love and because twelve is my cosmic number.) It is that simple. Jay and Karen (and the illustrious Quin) allowed me to move into their lovely home under the proviso I would be out in a few days. Well that was October 18th and, look at your calendar folks, I am still here. I think that finally the light has bounced off of a nimbus cloud that I have not seen before and I might have a dwelling. But... I LOVE these two people. They just get me and leave me to my own devices. In this time where I have sequestered myself off into my own little respite lair, they have let me "do my own thing". And they are such lovely, talented, decent people. It has been my honour to get to know them more and their ultimate collaboration, THE Quin. He is the COOLEST child ever. I adore the boy. Tonight Jay, Karen, and I played a card game called Nerts. I am addicted and I saw new shades ...
