Chicago


David and I finally went to Chicago and seen Wicked. I think were the last two Gay men in America who hadn't seen it yet. Its was wonderful everything that I hoped it would be. Changes were made from the book which usually I dislike,but not this time. I'm all for a happy ending.

Then we went to see Madame X written by a friend of mine. The music was great, it's got alot of work ahead of it before its ready for broadway.

Sunday we went to Oak Park and did a walking tour of Frank Lloyd Wright homes.

Amazing Story

In Grand Rapids, Michigan something amazing happen this week. Someone who was sent away to prison for a crime thanked the lawyer who prosecuted him. All this is amazing enough but the two people involved were William Merrill and Charles Colson.
Charles Colson, also known a Richards Nixon's evil genius was put in prison for his involment in the Watergate breakin /coverup. William Merrill was the lawyer hired by the Demarcates to bring Nixon and his toadies to trial. Colson received 7 months in prison
For those of you young'n reading this post, imagine the Clinton -Lewinsky scandal being 10 times bigger. Then imagine Bill Clinton thanking Linda Tripp for bringing the scandal to light.


I feel sad this story didn't get much media attention. It did make to the front page of the Grand Rapids Press but not the headline, its was second to Tigers losing streak. Such a great human interest story, I thought deserved national coverage.

My Faulous life

One of the new stereo types out there about gay people is we all have such interesting lives. We know the best little out the way restaurants to eat and hang out with fabulous creative people. This has been my day today , I got up about 8:00 (working evening today) and went to McDonald's. I did treat myself to a USA today while I ate my egg Mcmuffin. Then I went to Park and fed the ducks. After that I went home and check my email and was called into work early because its inspection week.

Blog about nothing

Currently I don't feel very interesting. Its not that I don't do fun stuff I just haven't grasp anything that made feel like putting my thoughts to the computer.One of the reason I blog to keep my mind action and force to think. Being dyslexic my memory is all I've got if I loose that I'm up shit without a paddle. So when there is nothing to write do a blog about nothing Thanks Jerry for the idea.

I returned home from visting my cousin last week, she had two interesting observations.
One the local zoo in Evansville is putting a Rain Forest Exhibition they are pulling up an area of woods to make it

In New Harmony Indiana after the Sharkers moved out the great thinker of the world moved in. Unfortunately they lack the motivation or the smarts to keep the place up and the town fall about. Thanks Annette

The TV shows Brother and Sisters, half of the character are conversation and half are liberal. Sally Fields is the liberal mother, Cellesta Flockheart is conversative talk show host daughter. Its a family drama included in the cast is a gay brother who is out and a workalochlic. Would it have made more sense to had the brother just come out -that would give the show plenty of drama at least for the next 5 seasons.

I seen Another Gay Movie this weekend. When friends ask I say Another Gay Movie and so it goes on like who's on first. Say Goodnight Gracie.

And was really necessary to show Richard Hatch penis? It least television blurred it.

Going to Film Festival in Detroit this weekend. I think there was a mistake in borchure they have Eating Out 2 in the gay section, shouldn't it be the Lesbion section.

I drove to lake Michigan this weekend on M-31 they now have the World's largest Picinic table. It's right up the street from a Jellystone Park. Boo-Boo are you thinking what I'm thinking? Biggest Picinic table worlds biggest picinic basket

Halloween is coming up I'm seeing Wicked on the 28th. Are you a good witch or a Bad witch.? Bitch what do you think?
Night Gracie

Mark Foley

This Mark Foley situation has me pissed. Here is man who never came out publicity, My feeling is if don't indentifly yourself as a homosexual you aren't one only a tourist. To illustrate my point think of men in prisons. Prisoners can suck or fuck with the best of us, I would dare any body to call anyone of them gay. Just like weekend warriors, backseat driver, armchair quarterbacks and lay preachesr, pretty it up all you want you ain't the real thing.
So Mr. Foley got himself in a pickle a......a BIG Pickle and low and behold He is suddenly GAY!
Never mind that he never came out before when it might have did some good. No only now the he been cybering youg'n and his hands were caught on his sticky keyboard is he gay! Like being Gay is a reason in and of itself for your lurid behavior.
Like Ann Hech, Mark Foley has missed a steps in the coming out process. Being Gay just isn't that fucking simple. its self love, self loathing, self repect, finding oneself, losing yourself and then and then can you come to terms with yourself.
So here is Mark passport in hand trying to say he just understand the laws of foreign nation he visiting. Duh... I'm Gay and we all come on to young boys, I'm just a tourist I'm don't understand your county.
I think there should be a rule, if youare a public figure you can only out of the closet if you are in not trouble and if you have a book deal in your future or both. I for one am tired of taking your dirty fallout. Everytime time one of you tourist acts in inapproperate way, take public money, come on to children switching from gay to straight and it looks bad on us honest professional.
