Operation (Consisfy, Hmmmify, Lifeify)


Operation: Naturify has been postponed. That is just a euphemistic way of writing I did not get my little white ass outside a lot, but there is always time and it will be restarted again in the future.

Operation: Fictionify is still underway, but will be a long Operation. Creating an entire world is exciting and TREMENDOUSLY overwhelming.

Operation: Sexify (the one that started them all) is still underway, but has taken a different approach. I feel attractive and realize I am one sexy madman. I do not want to be a recluse from the world of dating again. However, I liked when I did not know about the goings-on of the gays in the Rock. Now, I know a bit more and it is a small, small city. I am trying to find a balance so I am not a monk nor a regular in the Gay Tetris that is Little Rock.

But, I want to introduce three NEW and EXCITING Operations:

Operation: Consisify

and

Operation: Hmmmify

and

Operation: Lifeify

Operation: Consisify will consist of me bringing consistency to my life... a more regular schedule, sleeping at more normal hours, etc. I am embarking upon writing an in-depth schedule so I can bring on the consistency. I do like how I named the Operation for it has the word sissy, in it... although spelled differently.

Operation: Hmmmify refers to spiritual exploration. Years ago, I was extremely spiritual and turned that portion of my heart off after the trials of NYC. But, with the grief process, getting older, and being in a new place emotionally, I am ready to delve into the matters of what I believe, how I define a Higher Power. It is exciting and I am looking forward to this adventure.

Operation: Lifeify is all about me figuring out how to finish school, what my major will be, and how I can create a career, stability, and not leave my passions. I did not realize until recently how much of my identity was tied to the stage and how, for better or worse, I have done/attempted to do that which I love all my life. I do not want to EVER lead a passionless existence, but I feel there are other avenues out there for me. So, the next few months will be devoted to researching any of those options. (Thus far, child psychology, greeting card writer, marketing for toy companies, etc.)

A lot to do, but these are exciting operations. :-)
I really like having these Operations and creating fun names for them. It keeps my mind, heart, soul, and eyes focused on the prize and reminds me there is always a journey, an operation out there to live.

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

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 ...
