Great article about how the powers-that-be are the real racist wrenches running the show at places like Fox, etc.

I went to a prescription renewal appointment with my doc this afternoon for my asthma med and allergy med. The intake nurse took my blood pressure and then took it again. I knew it was going to be a little higher than normal--I could already feel my heart in my chest. I've been more stressed than normal. I didn't expect it to be 142/90something. It's never been higher than 110/74. The doctor wasn't actually concerned, but did ask how bad my heartburn has been lately. It's like she was reading my mind. I wasn't going to mention that to her. We're dealing with my sinuses first; heartburn later if it's still a problem.
I'm sick of spending all my fucking imaginary extra money to protect my rights on paper because fucking bigots think my rights are something to be voted on. NEWSFLASH you fuck-heads--your ass-backwards thinking hasn't changed in a hundred years. The rest of the world is moving on without you and you are afraid! Just because 51% say so doesn't make it right.
It's not about the sanctity of marriage, or teaching children to be gay, or about forcing churches to perform my wedding ceremony. It's about your fear and chosen ignorance. You fuckers can't get your own marriages right--look at your own divorce rate. Children are going to know about gay people one way or another. Perhaps they should know we aren't the ones molesting them--that's what uncles and cousins are for. And for churches--screw the ones that don't want to marry us--we don't want you, either.
OUR TIME IS COMING!
*Women vote now.
*Jews marry those not Jewish now.
*Black men and women can now marry outside of their race.
*Black men and women can now own property.
Your archaic way of thinking is about to come to an end. Enjoy this small 'victory' while you can.

S and I are finally getting Direct TV. There will be BBC America for my sci-fi geek of a wife, and The Food Network for my need to cook outlandish foodstuffs. If any of you are thinking about dumping your overpriced cable there is an unadvertised incentive of a $100 bill credit for referrals. There is no limit either to the number of times you can get this credit. You just give the referring account number to the rep when you are signing up. Both parties receive the credit.
Can I tell you how much I want this?!

This is one of my biggest pet peeves and something I used to have to endure daily when I played online RPG's--stupid ass little punk boys who felt the need to call everyone they killed online a faggot or referring to game content as gay.... It always made me want to bitch slap them.
The back story. I graduated with a bachelor's in history and political science from Pitt in 1995. All I did for those 4 previous years was read and write. And the complete truth is I hadn't read another book, cover to cover, until HP 7 came out two years ago. I've tried to read several books and just get fucking bored.
Books I liked when I was younger:
Frankenstein
Red Badge Of Courage
Dracula
Little Women
various Civil War historical subjects--not so much military and NOTHING by Shelby Foote.--ish!
Stephen King--Eye Of The Dragon; really anything except The Stand or IT
Ann Rice--Vampire chronicles. and the Mummy book, meh.
Jason Bourne series.
Dean Koontz --only some of it. It gets repetitive.
I've tried to read Lord of the Rings, but can't get through the language, so I have it on audio.
I loved Harry Potter.
So, I need suggestions on captivating things I should read.
I like books with chivalry, knights, violence, espionage, historical fiction if done well enough to have been legit. Psychological suspense, but not gore for gore's sake.
Things I definitely dislike:
Science fiction in any shape or form---Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars, BSG, etc. just ish!
Please send suggestions....

Little kid got on the school bus today wearing a T-shirt with the slogan
"Proud to be a Democrat." Bus driver asked why he was a Democrat and the kid
said "Because my parents are Democrats." "So," said the bus driver, "What if
your parents were lying, bible thumping, perverted hypocrites? Then what?" The
kid replied: "Then we'd be Republicans."

but I like to read the Rants and Raves on Craig's List. It's pure masochism. I like to think the best of people, but then there's those that just don't get it.

Unbiased and Fair Opinion On Race in The Cities (your neighborHOOD)

Well I'm Proud to be White
There are African
Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... and that's OK..
But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink .. You call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you.... so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP. You have BET.... If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.
If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US .. Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college..
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you
call him a racist..
I am proud... But you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists??
BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!
It's not a crime YET... but getting very close!

Patronus Test from Dumb Spot!
My Patronus is a Stag
Your patronus takes the form of a Stag. A stag is proud and strong, which is characteristic of your personality. You have a powerful and compassionate heart. You find strength in protecting others, particularly friends and family, or those who are weak. Your patronus is shared by one of the most famous wizards ever, Harry Potter. You have little to no trouble conjuring a patronus because your desire to defend yourself and others outweighs your fears and allows you to focus on the task at hand.

comment and I'll give you your own letter.
travellighthas given me the task of coming up with 10 things i love that start with the letter E...
1. Egg cream sodas--there was a great deli that made them near my apartment when I lived in Queens. I haven't had a good one since.
2. Evening--my favorite time of the day. I'm ususallly fully awake around 6pm.
3. Egg Plant Parmesian--the only way I'll eat the stuff.
4. Espresso--doubt I could have a coherant thought without it.
5. E-pics--because it's the easiest way to share pictures of Anders.
6. Evolution--because it ususally brings up good discussions with people who don't agree with it.
7. Easy-Bake Ovens--always wanted one and never got it.
8. Easter--candy.
9. Everybody Hurts--by REM..great song! And the one I'm trying to learn on the guitar.
10. Elves--I prefer the house cleaning type.

Well, A is growing like a weed. I've been lax on loading videos and was amazed to see the progession when putting them in Photobucket tonight. In April he was barely holding his own bottle and now he's sitting up for almost an hour at a time and playing solo. And his laughing--funniest and most contagious thing ever!






I'm not entirely annoyed, but when it comes to my mother it really doesn't take much. Her and my father were only married a short while and divorced when I was 4. I didn't live with her again until I was 14. We lived in Long Island and Camden, SC during the next two years. We fought constantly because she's one of the most bitter people I know. Every ounce of my being seemed to be some remembrance of my father, whom she detested. We last spoke in 1997 when she feigned some interest in the death of her former mother-in-law, my grandmother, but, that was the last time. She's just never shown any interest. And when I was younger and much more angry I often responded to her anger with in-her-face letters about the craptastic parenting she dished out.
When AXL was born I sent her a picture and a simple card that expressed my wish for her to be part of his life if she was up to it. There was no response. She made it clear years ago that she felt I was ill and even threatened to withhold any semblance of a relationship if I didn't seek treatment for the whole queer business. My own mental health dictated that was the final straw. Until the birth announcement she hadn't known my location for nearly 10 years. We haven't communicated in 12.
But, I have this dillemma; She liked to keep secrets. Her family disapproved of my father for ethnic reasons, so she told him. And he never met anyone in her family. I was only to visit them once as an infant. I know nothing of her family that includes 7 brothers and, now deceased, parents. I've been working with a trial membership at Ancestry.com, but she is completely off the grid. There's just nothing to be found.
I have a knack for tracking down any bit of information that is out in the vastness of the intrawebz, but this is making me crazy.
