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.

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

And With This, Farewell

This blog has been a dear friend to me. I am not good at farewells, but truly this is anything but. I look at it like this - I love the phoenix, the symbolism of it all, the power of rebirth. Hence why I named my blog/musing screen after one. :-) So, I am leaving this particular blog to start another one, one that fits me NOW, the one that I can share in a new way. So this feels right. Thanks to those who have read my musings throughout the years. I hope you follow me to my new musing home entitled THE TWELVE THAT IS DUSTIN BAYLAN. Yes, I am changing the name, the story of that is on the new blog for you to read. Here is the link: http://dustinbaylan.wordpress.com/ Much love, much hope and joy again, much potential... Winks and smiles of the Cat that is Cheshire, Dustin Baylan

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 ...
