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.

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...
