Here Goes....

In High School I was president of the Pep Club. Yes I was one of those geeks who lived for school activities.

While everybody knows I am very gay, I seriously dated a girl in high school. Donna and I were quite an item. We went to both of our proms and worked on the school musical together. As it turns out, she is now a lesbian. Who knew!

I am the owner of 2 dogs and 3 cats, which I love as my children. However, up until I met Tim 9 years ago, I never owned an animal. I always loved animals, I just never had an opportunity to own any.

When I was growing up, like most kids, my favorite season was Summer. I hated Fall because school started again. Now I am totally opposite, I love Fall and hate Summer. Fall means football, Halloween, Apple Cider, and cool temps. Summer means oppressive heat, high AC bills, and tornados. While Summer does give me my favorite sport, Baseball, Fall gives me the World Series. My how age changes us.

Last year Tim and I took down our Christmas lights to put up our Halloween lights.

In 1993, I was runner up for best Halloween costume at Boardwalk night club costume contest. I dressed as Boy George and I must say I looked like him. I only came in second because the contest was rigged. I am not saying that because I am still bitter, (I am, but it was realy rigged). A popular bartender of the club was fired a week before the contest, he brought all his patrons and a few hundred friends to the club to vote for him so he could win the $500 first prize and basically fuck with the owner wo fired him. It worked, he won.I did come in second and got NOTHING! But I'm not bitter.

I have always wanted to be play professional baseball. I have never played in any kind of a league, only for fun with friends. The problem is I am scared of being hit by a baseball. Still, I love baseball, baseball players, baseball uniforms, the cheering, the thrill of hitting a home run in game of the World Series. If only I could catch the ball without ducking and screaming.

I am tagging Angie, Allie, Tamra, Renee, Derek, Karen, and Adina.

Go Hillary!

Yeah! Hillary won in New Hampshire. Thank God! Maybe we do have a chance to get someone to lead our country who not only cares about gay issues, but for the country as a whole. She also has a BRAIN, unlike the dumbass who is currently in the White House.

I wasn't sure who my candidate was until I heard her speak about equality for everyone. Obama pissed me off by having an ex-gay evangelist work for his campaign. While I like his charisma and some of his ideas, I can't support him. That is unless he wins the Democratic nomination and is up against those holier-than-thou Republicans Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee. If it's Rudy Guiliani, I'd have to think about it. At least he is gay-friendly and not an total hypocrite. Let's just hope that Hillary gets the nomination and becomes the first woman president. There may be hope for us yet!

BTW. Tim and I signed up to volunteer for her campaign here in town. I encourage everyone to do the same no matter who your candidate is. If you don't know who to choose as a candidate, take this quiz. It matches your beliefs to the proper candiate. After all, we need to be careful who pick this time as we don't want another dumb fuck in the White House for 8 years. We've had enough of that.
Here are my quiz results:
95% Hillary Clinton
91% John Edwards
90% Barack Obama
89% Chris Dodd
80% Joe Biden
80% Bill Richardson
79% Mike Gravel
78% Dennis Kucinich
48% Rudy Giuliani
35% John McCain
28% Mike Huckabee
27% Mitt Romney
27% Tom Tancredo
15% Fred Thompson
12% Ron Paul

2008 Presidential Candidate Matching Quiz

New Year, New Me, The Bucks, and Britney!

HAPPY 2008! I know I'm late, but this girl has been busy. Thankfully the holidays are over. Don't get me wrong, Christmas was fun. Santa gave me an iPod (the last person on earth to have one). I am just glad things are back to normal. I can now concentrate on losing weight and sticking to my diet. Not that I did bad over the holidays, I didn't gain or lose any weight, which wasn't easy with all the sweets and mashed potatos. Now that I am back on schedule, I lost 2 more lbs. down to 204. I ordered a treadmill, hopefully that will help even more. I just can't wait to be able to eat normal food again. I miss my carbs.

OK now for the bad news. Our beloved Buckeyes lost yet again in the National Championship Game. I think the Ohio curse is in full swing. In the past year, the Buckeyes lost the football nat'l championship twice, the basketball Bucks did the same, the Cleveland Cavs lost in the NBA finals, the Indians lose to the Red Sux in the ALCS, and the Browns just missed the playoffs. Damn, the sports gods had it in for us. Let's just hope that the Bucks are the only losing team we have in 2008! Go Tribe!

OMG, someone help my Britney! She is obviously mentally ill. If she doesn't get help soon she may hurt herself. That would be bad. Remember what happened when Judy Garland offed herself? RIOTS in the Village. Drag Queens in hysterics. We don't need a repeat. We need Britney. I know the breeders don't understand our fascination with her, but we love her in all her tragicness. I just want the old "not that innocent" Britney back. There's a goal for 2008! SAVE BRITNEY!

One last thing. I just found out that childhood friend died last month. Even though I hadn't seen him in over 15 years, I am truly saddened by his passing. Rest in Peace Andy. Make heaven as flambouyant and fabulous as you were.

Go Bucks!!!!

'Twas the night before New Orleans, when all through the state,
Not a Buckeye was stirring, not fan or teammate.
The jerseys were hung in the lockers with care,
In hopes that the trophy soon would be theirs.

Young Buckeyes were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of touchdowns danced in their heads.
And mom in OSU PJ's, and I in my Bucks stocking cap,
Had just settled down for our pre-game nap.

Tomorrow, on the field, there will be such a clatter,
Les Miles and team will know what's the matter.
Beanie and Robo will be gone in a flash,
There's no chance the Bucks won't be ready to clash.

The moon will shine with a scarlet and gray glow
Giving luster to Buckeyes celebrating below.
Then, what to my wondering eyes should I see,
It's our coach with players, Boeckman and Beanie.

With a dignified leader, so calm and so stoic,
I knew in a second it was Tressel, the heroic.
Running onto the field, all of them came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name.

"Now, Robiskie! now, Hartline! now, Wells and Gholston!
On, Jenkins! on Boeckman! on, Boone! and Barton!
From endzone to endzone...from sideline to sideline!
Miles, go to Michigan, because victory is mine!"

As the players prepared for this epic battle,
They showed great confidence, not a one rattled.
So onto the field the players, they flew,
Helmets sparkling and shining - looking brand new.

And then, in a twinkling, the game had begun,
The Buckeyes were scoring and having some fun.
As I looked at the action, and continued to cheer,
I was excited and thankful for what I could hear.

'Round the stadium, could be heard O-H-I-O,
Louder and louder the chant continued to grow.
Moms with their daughters, fathers and sons,
Everyone was enjoying the long Buckeye runs.
Their eyes would light up with each thrilling score,
This night will long be remembered in OSU lore!
The scarlet and gray were winning this fight,
The Tigers had been beaten soundly this night!

With the last whistle blow, the celebration had started,
Les Miles and LSU had just been out smarted;
Players were hugging, high fiving, and singing.
The band celebrated with victory bells ringing.

I couldn't hold back a tear from my eye,
The pride in my alma mater was evident this night.
The team hoisted the trophy high in the air,
A picturesque scene of an exciting affair.

Tressel spoke not a word, just observed with a smile,
The celebration surrounding him for mile upon mile.
And laying his hands on the trophy at last,
He took in the moment that happened so fast.

He strolled off the field, but to the fans gave a wave,
Victoriously he left, the night had been saved.
But I heard him exclaim, as he walked out of sight,


"Happy Championship to all and to all a good-night!"

GO BUCKS BEAT LSU

Merry Christmas y'all!

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I am off to Canton for a few days to visit the family. Be safe. I hope you've been good so Santa brings you want you want, if not you may get a BIG lump....of coal.
Look at how big his list is!
