Message to a Friend

I love you whether or not you love me. I love you even if you think that I don't. Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you, but I don't mind. Why should I mind?

What is love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway?

Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear, never worry, never be sad? The answer is they cannot love this much, nobody can. This is why I don't mind you doubting.

And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be. The door always must be left unlocked to love when circumstance may lead someone away from you, and not to spend the time just doubting.

    Thanks, Lumina. Just thinking about my ex-wife is all, I'm all sappy tonight.

    I'm sappy to the extreme sometimes, but whatever. And usually drunk, so that might explain a lot. Thanks, ladies, for reading even my personal posts, I pretty much just do this whole blog thing for myself, nice to know when others pay attention to whatever, wherever on the board I might end up. I have no focus.

    See? I knew you had a "working" heart in there. :)

    And the blog thing? Pretty much always starts out for Self I think...least with most of us. The "cherry on top" is that others take the time to read. :) Then the "chocolate sprinkles?" That some take time to comment. :)

    My heart works fine, maybe too often overtime and that's why I on some level try to ignore it. Also, I see the stats and know the paltry few hundred visitors I get a day who don't leave messages, which I don't always either, but they also are important to know about, but you're right about the ones who comment being the sprinkles.

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...

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Bipolar Me Today, Downer Post

Sorry, just one of those days, you know. Feel free to move along to happier browsing. It is a good song, though, and I know I can't be the only weirdo who sometimes wishes to just rather be dead. No? " Wish I was too dead to cry, my self-affliction fades. Stones to throw at my creator, masochist to which I cater . " You don't need to bother, I don't need to be. I'll keep slipping farther but once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds . " Wish I was too dead to care, if indeed I cared at all. Never had a voice to protest, so you fed me shit to digest . " I wish I had a reason, my flaws are open season. For this I gave up trying, one good turn deserves my dying . " You don't need to bother, I don't need to be. I'll keep slipping farther but once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds . " Wish I'd died instead of lived, a zombie hides my face. Shell forgotten with its memories, diaries left with cryptic ent...
