In the Blahs


It truly is a fight to be a better student. I missed class today. I am doing much better than I was and I have to give myself some time to adjust and get used to the schedule.

Both of my roomies have been sick and I have been fighting it.

Today, four things made the world a habitable place for me:

1. My bed: ever so comfy and inviting.
2. "Pushing Daisies": It is a travesty this show was canceled. It is delicious! Odd, charming, like a glorious adult pop-up book.
3. Hostess Honey Buns: I rarely have a sweet tooth, but when I do it comes on rather strongly demanding to be satiated.
4. Star of India: I love that place, that food, and the owner Sammy who calls me Dr. Dustin and declares "Welcome home my brother" every time I enter the door.

I am in a bit of a blah spot right now. It is understandable as I just wrapped a show and am sorting through many new prospects.

Sometimes it is okay to live in the blahs, not hoping to get out of them too quickly for sometimes you can find something special in the blahs, something you did not know you had, needed, or would ever discover.

Much love,
Dustin

PSfP: I could not find a picture of a Hostess Iced Honey Bun. What is the world coming to? Ha.

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 ...

Loving the Squiggly

I was typing the other day and instead of hitting the ! key I hit the ~ key. Two odd altercations happened between two friends and me via facebook so I have deactivated my account for a bit. It was hurtful and unexpected. So when I hit the ~ key it made me smile and forget all that nonsense. ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dustin
