Take Your Mama Out - If You Can Afford To

This video is just because, and I also do have a crush on gay boy Jake Shears anyway. I like this song written basically about him coming out to his mom. Plus I've been watching endlessly this whole economic fiasco unfold all day long and am frankly tired of it already. I think I'm a masochist maybe, but one can only take so much. News is turned off now, shifting gears. Music makes me happy.

Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama

    We really are on the same musical wavelength. After hearing "Don't Feel Like Dancing"(or whatever the title of the song is) in the shower last week, I ordered a SS cd from the library. Lately, I've been borrowing cds and downloading them to my computer. (I don't know how to do it your free way) I've just discovered the SF library has EVERYthing. Even if they didn't, I knew they would have the SS.

    I LOVE this song too. I sang this last week on Singstar (PS2 Karaoke); it's fun to sing falsetto.

    I clicked on the lead singer's name and didn't realize how young he is. I thought he was my age; but he's cute and has nice arms.

    I think I meant upload, not download.

    I didn't realize what the song was really about; I just thought he wanted to show the mama a good time.

    Hey, I want to download...whatever that means. Sounds dirty. Lumina, you are way computer cooler than me. Huh? A lesbian...position...gees, how have I survived without hearing this? Gay guys know everything. Let me...now I'm blushing. You had me at download.

    I like the song and watched them on SNL. The lead singer should never, ever dance in public.

    Hey, I know a late comment, but don't go dissin' on my Jake never should be dancing in public! Before Scissor Sisters he was a dancer in gay clubs, and he could dance for me in public anytime. Or in private preferably, but I live in fantasy-land sometimes.

Why's There Even You and Me? A Personal Diversion

Obama still ba-rocks and McCain still, um ... is a dick. Okay. That's the extent of my political rumination today. Although I may be totally off on both counts, I wouldn't know. I honestly paid zero attention to realpolitik today so I have no clue what might have happened really. I have other more personal and most disconcerting things on my mind. I'm kind of creeped out. I have a stalker ... don't laugh. I really do. I think his name is Mike but I'm not even sure about that. He was probably lying when I asked, whatever the hell it was he said, but that's what I think I remember. I was drunk at the time. Admittedly my fault. I'm an idiot sometimes, no new tale to tell there. I don't recall exactly how I met the guy in the first place - it was a couple of years ago - but I do know that I willingly gave up my address. With directions, no less. Just in case. Damn the hooch. What was I thinking? Anyway, so here's the deal. I had him over a time or two ea...

Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Just Do It

Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch . It's really little wonder that much of the queer community reacted approvingly, but also with a fair amount of skepticism, the other night after hearing him vow again to do what he vowed once before with nothing gotten done so far. This DADT thing, I wouldn't think, should be such a big ordeal to get over and done with in short order. Even military p...

Hung on the Cross

So what, I'm not very mature for my age. I don't care, I'm easily amused because of it, and I enjoy being amused. Like this picture of a crucifix which was hoisted a couple of months ago above the main altar at the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic church in Oklahoma: I can come up with lots of hilariously inappropriate captions here, some that even I am embarrassed to admit thinking up, despite my unabashed crudity. I would share but probably everyone else is too sophisticated to see the humor. Plus, I really don't want to go to Hell. I'm guessing that there are an awful lot of Okie parishioners down there at the church where this is hung for real, who I reckon wouldn't appreciate my sense of humor about it, either. They are, in general, hugely offended by it instead, because they see nothing funny whatsoever about displaying Jesus' ginormous penis in church, not in the least bit! Seems as though this has caused quite a "deep divide" among members o...
