Confessions


Sometimes I raise my arms slowly like I am singing the ultimate phrase of a song in a concert where the audience is captivated. Odd thing is, I never sing a note during this. I just raise my arms slowly.

I bought nose hair trimmers yesterday. I thought I looked good the other day and looked in the mirror to behold a forest of nasal buddies that NO ONE wants to see.

I found my first ear hair. Really?

Sometimes I do not feel like my "real" life has started.

If I could do anything, I would sing and tell my stories through song.

I used to want to talk everything out and now I would rather let most things lie and see what happens organically.

The holidays depress me so.

I wish my Dad knew the man I am today.

Sometimes life makes me mad: the changes, the not knowing of it all.

Those very reasons are also why I love life.

I simply cannot stand pissy gay men. They are like odd party favour peacocks that should be put down.

Sometimes, often really these days, I am not sure there is a guy out there for me. Not in the "please tell me I am worth it" way. I know I am worth it... just saying I am not sure he really exists.

Sometimes I am not sure how much I love theatre. At times, I find it silly.

Very few people hold my interest very long.

I like being confident.

Sex for only the sake of sex can get old really quickly.

I like writing to do lists, they make me feel alive.

I think that I have just about the best handwriting I have ever seen.

Sometimes I get weary of life lessons.

Sometimes I am a complete and utter shit ass piss ant cry baby. In these times, I try to close my door and escape into the realm of Central Perk or the Pie Hole or the West Wing.

I loathe that we have to worry about money. I wish we could do what we loved and live off the land, etc. I think that life has gotten far too complicated.

Most gay guys I seem to meet make me think "I am glad I am not like them."

I am scared my CD will sound like a piece of shit.

I feel like all I do is laundry sometimes.

I want a dog and a bird.

I wonder if I should have a kid.

Sometimes I feel like I live my life in a messy way. I look at the "put-togethers" and wonder how they do it, find the consistency. Other times I think that is what makes me the grand human I am. :-)

Almost every day, I think about performing a cabaret/concert/telling stories. It is me.

Here are just a few confessions given to you. Do with them what you will.

(This is a quote from "You've Got Mail" that I have loved for years. Somehow, I find it applicable for this musing.)

"Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life. Well, not small, but valuable. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void."

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 ...

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

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...
