Fuck me with a .54

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

I hate him, I hate him, I fucking hate this self-righteous, bitter, dried-up, wrinckled-dick faggot.
So this shows up all over the local yahoogroups tonight:
From: “David Nelson”

Subject: Utah Pride director calls legal firearms ‘white-trash’
A year after being forced to back down from an unenforceable and potentially illegal [...]

When’s the Great Rite Scheduled?

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

Theory #1: It’s spring and everyone is feeling a bit more randy than usual.
Theory #2: Working out + contact lenses = a hotter more confident me.
Theory #3: Beltane magic is in the air.
Theory #4: The fact that I’m moving in less than two months, and therefore unavailable for a long-term relationship, can somehow be read [...]

Cat Fights

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

Well, I went to Witch’s Brew again last night. It wasn’t especially exciting beyond the wierd (lesbian-overtones) wrestling match that broke out between two of the gals over a whip…

Sorry to say the wrestling match did nothing for me. Conversation was good, though, and kept me sitting out in the cold night air at Salt [...]

A Moment of Geekery

Friday, April 28th, 2006

Astonishing X-Men #14…
Yes, yes, yes! Emma/Scott/Jean/Logan… it’s a mindfrak of an issue!
And the big secret about Scott’s powers, I practically screamed aloud.
::starts up chant “Joss is God! Joss is God!”::
I can feel it, this is going to be one of those arcs that people either love or hate and will keep them talking for years.

So tired…

Friday, April 28th, 2006

Today might be called the “tipping point” for Utah Pride. My phone didn’t stop ringing all day and the emails have continued all night. Of course, a big part of it that vendor applications are due this coming Monday and early-bird rates on parade entries are due a week from tomorrow.
We also have a major [...]

TMI for the day

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

So I did something I’ve never done before… today I got treatment for an STD. Remember that wild weekend in Vegas back at the beginning of February? Yeah, well I have confirmation now that what happens in Vegas doesn’t necessarily stay in Vegas.
So without insurance, I got to discover the exciting world of cheap clinics. [...]

Confrontation

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Well, I may never get to have my confrontation with asshole-in-law if my family keeps helping like this. Yesterday Jessi let him have it (she has her own grudge – he called her “fat and ugly” five months into her pregnancy) after he yelled at my mother because she couldn’t come down to Ogden that [...]

Rethinking advertising

Monday, April 24th, 2006

If anyone is starting a business, in a decision-making role with a business, or considering advertising for anything, stop and read The Fall of Advertising and the Rise of PR first.
The book argues, quite effectively, that advertising is practically useless for building a brand, increasing sales, or generating a buzz. The hypothesis is simple: there [...]

Sunday in the park with me…

Monday, April 24th, 2006

I went to the park today just to clear my head a bit. With everything going on, I really needed some quiet “me” time to get centered. Sugarhouse Park was sort of crowded (what did I expect on a Sunday in spring?), but it was nice. The weather was a bit overcast – I even [...]

The Brokeback Effect

Sunday, April 23rd, 2006

First it was the Village People,
Then it was gay rodeos,
Recently it was Brokeback Mountain…
It’s official, cowboys are a symbol for homosexuality.
Or at least muscular figure skating cowboys are.
