Home for the Holidays.....burp.....

Well, I left Chicago on Thursday at 12:30 with my favorite gay couple Ernie and Michael. It was a big gay car ride from Chi Town to Northville, MI. 4 1/2 hrs, even with a stop at Burger King!

I dropped the boys off at Ernie's parents and headed off to my best friend Scott's family. I had not seen their new home and it was a doozy! Huge with a wonderful lodge feel. It was truly amazing..... I spent the night there, which was good because Scott's wife Margaret and I decided to drink two bottles of wine. Man, did I sleep......

I headed home to my Mom's on Friday morning after a huge breakfast with Scott and his two kids Sarah and Ryan. It's nice to be home for a little while at least. Everyone looks good, and Granny is as feisty as ever for a 99 year old. It's good to see her......

And so, I wish you all a Happy Holiday. I'm going to go eat more food because that's what I do when I come home for Christmas - eat, drink coffee, sleep, repeat.

Good Lord.....and other news

Oh President Bush......faulty information for a war you started, tapping of phones, falling of your popularity......I bet a nice case of SARS for yourself sounds good right about now........

On the front of the Chicago Sun-Times today, Roger Ebert gives BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN 4 stars and asks "ARE WE READY FOR THIS MOVIE?"

I'll say yes, but I can't wait to hear what the freaked out breeders have to say....

Dear Farrelly brothers and Matt Parker & Trey Stone:

Thank you.

Did dinner with klugula and his LUVAH Elwood on Wednesday at T's in Andersonville. Now I was starting to get a cold (which I still have, goddamnit) and klugula had strep. But he didn't cancel because he gave me shit on Monday about not backing out. So I didn't. We had a laugh and a couple of teas and brandy.
Good times......

Is it me, or is anyone else having trouble getting into the holiday spirit this year? I'd rather step in a bear trap than go shopping, but I need to do it. Maybe I need to be Jacob Marley'd or something......ah well, ho ho, fucking ho.

Other News....and other news

Sorry if the last post was chastising or whiny or whatever you want to call it. I get lonely sometimes. Plus I don't consider myself well versed in the ways of dating. So I must vent. I'm only human (depending on who you talk to).

So a co-worker was relaying this visual of someone who rides the train who had on a croucheted rooster hat. Upon asking her if that hat person had glasses, looked about 25, and got on at the Thorndale stop, I realized she was talking about my ex.
She asked if I was offended. I laughed.

OOOOOOh my, parties this past weekend. The one on Saturday was MUCH gayer, not that the one on Friday was bad.....it was just rated PG. Had a couple of cigarettes on Saturday, which isn't bad after two weeks (YES, I'm justifying it...IT'S MY BLOG!) Good times.....good times.....

Dear Elijah Wood,

As I sat on my couch Sunday relaxing after a long weekend, I started watching the first of your LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. I had no desire to see them in the theatre, but I thought what the heck - I had some time to kill.
After seeing it, I want to have sex with you more than ever.
Please call me.

Thank you.

Dear Rob Lotterstein,

As I sat on my couch Sunday relaxing after a long weekend and the first LORD OF THE RINGS film, I started watching Fox's Sunday line-up.
The credits said you were the creator of THE WAR AT HOME.
You should be clubbed like a baby harp seal.

Thank you, you jackass.

In Every Way.....So They Say......

Lately, everytime one of my single friends starts dating and meets someone they really seem to like, I smile and congratulation them - I am sincerely happy for them. Then, a very small piece of me seems to become deathly ill. Some would say that piece is my coal-sized black heart.........
People, I asked:

Are there rules for setting up a friend on a date? Because I am not adverse to being set up on one......please.

...and I got one humorous response. I'm glad you're all thrilled about my five years on the job and my IMdb posting, but don't make me beg here.......(oops, too late)

I have something you can DEEPLY SEAT.....

Oh man I just love this.....

The Vatican's instructions said men with "deep-seated homosexual tendencies" cannot be admitted to seminaries, but those with a "transitory problem" that had been overcome for at least three years could be admitted.

Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski, author of the document, elaborated on the meaning of "transitory" problems:

"For example, during an adolescence not yet completed, some curiosity: or under accidental circumstances, when drunk: or other particular conditions such as a person who has been in prison for many years. In these cases, the possible homosexual acts do not come from a deeply seated tendency, but are determined by the circumstances."

"Or, these acts are made to please someone and obtain advantages...These acts in such cases do not originate from a deeply seated tendency, but from other transitory circumstances, and these cases are not an obstacle to the admission to the seminary or to holy order. In this case, though, they have to end at least three years before the diaconal ordainment."

Wait......if that's true, I've had accidental sex.....several times.

In the same article, there were stances from other demoninations. I'm a Methodist. Here's what they say:

"The practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. Therefore, self-avowed practicing homosexuals are not to be certified as candidates, ordained as ministers or appointed to serve in the United Methodist Church."

Great.......so when I go sing this year at my church for the Christmas Eve service, I'll make sure not to gay it up too much.........

Religion....it's FANTASTIC!!!!...... *sigh*
