A year in review

Is this thing on?  Is anyone still reading?   Yes, I’m very bad about writing on this thing.  I tend to post a bit more often to my twitter feed (see the right column).  I just tend not to have the...

Life is good :)

So I’ve been pretty busy lately.  Every time I mean to do an update I get side-tracked.   Why is life so good you ask?  Well mostly because little things are going well.  I’ve had fantastic dinners with friends recently, I recently passed my Microsoft SharePoint Certification exam, and I’m heading to NYC this weekend.   This...

Give my regards to Broadway

After political rants, baring of souls and other heavy things, let’s get to some lighter fare.   On the weekend of October 1, I went down to NYC for Missa Gaia, which is an “Earth Mass” by Paul Winter celebrating the Feast of St. Francis at St. John the Divine church in NYC.  As it was last year, it was a fun time.   The most incredible...

Tomorrow

Well, I can’t say enough how much I have appreciated all the kind words I’ve received after posting my “letter”.  That it moved some of you to tears, moved me as well. Tomorrow (Wednesday, October 20, 2010) many people...

A letter to past me, from future me

I saw a letter like this on a gay advice column and I felt the need to do the same in light of the recent spate of lives that have been tragically cut short due to suicide and related to homophobia and bullying.  I thankfully never got to a point where I considered ending my life, but there were times I did want to run away from it all. ...

Hate is not a family value

One thing I’m not shy about on my blog are my feelings about gay rights and what I’ve gone through as a gay man over the years.  I’m pretty lucky overall.  I have a loving and supportive family, friends who support me for who I am and organizations, such as my fraternity, that have always made me feel at home.  This has made me a very...

A little bit odd

So, anyone who knows me would agree that I’m a bit of a Type A personality.  I like to plan, and organize, and have a process for things.  I can be spontaneous when needed...      …but only with proper planning :)   At any rate, I am able to laugh at myself a bit for this and I had a moment of self-awareness...

Odds and Ends

Small Campus/Large Campus So I’ve noticed something amusing recently.  I’ve found that there are some people on campus I see almost daily.  They aren’t necessarily even people I know, but people I remember interacting with at NSO or other times, and it seems I can’t go anywhere on campus without passing them. On the other hand, there are...

On with the show

It’s been a bit since my last post and it’s been quite a busy, busy summer.  So where to begin… Well my laptop finally got fixed.  Turned out it needed a firmware update in order to make the touch screen work...

One of those days…

So we’ll get back to the back-posts soon enough.  Trust me there’s more to catch you up on. At any rate, things have been going well.  I finished the bet and did well will the weight loss – 25 lbs in 4 months.  I want to lose another 13-15 lbs and these are going to be the really hard ones as I get closer and closer to the goal. I've...

The Bet: After

So I realized I never said if I won or lost in my last post.  As it turned out, I “lost”.  I use quotes because I lost the bet, but I also lost 25 lbs, so I really can’t be too upset.  As I told Dani, $100...

The Bet: The Story and Before Pictures

We interrupt the backlog of posts to bring you some current news. So, some of you are aware that I’ve been in a weight loss bet with my friend Dani.  Dani has been going to the gym and doing kickboxing since last November...

Ninja and NYC

In honor of Judd’s recent birthday, it’s now time to make good on a promise I made back in May of 2008 to fully detail the exploits of the Judd’s NYC Graduation Celebration Extravaganza.  And now, the rest of the story.   The occasion was to celebrate Judd’s college graduation.  After many years of fits and starts Judd had finally...

Always a groomsman?

It’s not so much that I’m always in a wedding as simply that I’ve had so many of them over the years. I just recently returned from a trip to Florida to actually officiate a wedding (more to come in a later post) and I got to thinking about just how many weddings I’ve attended or been in over the years. My calendar really only goes back to 2003 so...

On Next Week’s Episode

So in order to provide some interest in future posts (and to help give me an idea of what to write about) I’m going to give you kind of an index of the coming posts.  If you see that I’m missing anything that you think I should write about, feel free to leave a comment.   Always a groomsman? Ninja and NYC VOX Cabaret 2009 ...

On Last Week’s Episode…

Hmm… a bit dusty… let’s clean this…  and move that…  change this… Ahh… much better.   Well apparently this little corner of space is still around. :)   It’s been almost a year since I posted and even before that it was fairly sparse for updates.  I’m going to try to remedy that situation going forward.  My plan...
