Hey, good looking!

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

You know how sometimes you’re walking down the street casually glancing in the windows of the various shops on a sunny day.
And then you pass a shop where you see a cute guy inside the store, so you slow your pace just a bit.
And in the space of time it takes to walk one more [...]

We’re kicking things off with a bang. For our first challenge in the mascot contest, the contestants have been challenged to make music videos that reflect the spirit of the blog.

So, keep lobbying for your favorite, because your votes will be critical in the final “popularity” category. And you can try and convince me who [...]

Legislative Intent

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

So, one thing about being FUNemployed, it leads me to feeling super-responsible on matters of legislative involvement. I’m writing to my elected officials all the time these days. Calling them, too.
Some of the issues that have me writing:

Statewide (Ohio):

Library Funding cuts in Ohio.
Equal Housing and Employment Act (urgent calls for support on this bill).

Marry, F*ck or Kill

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Since last week’s selection of talented, sexy, out Broadway guys were depressingly unknown, I’ve decided the only possible follow-up is to go in the complete opposite direction: over-exposed pop stars.

Choice 1
Choice 2
Choice 3

Taylor Swift
Fergie
Lady Gaga

To review the rules… You must choose one who you would spend the rest of your life with, one you would [...]

Although I never said as much officially, for the last year, I’ve thought of Diggs as the unofficial mascot of Blind Prophecy. While I’ve decided he will always be the mascot in memoriam, it’s time to designate a new mascot who can help carry the blog forward.

Didn’t you realize that all the best blogs have [...]

I love my daddy. I also love my grandpas (not pictured).
That is all.

We’ll Call It “How You Move”

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

So last night I had yet another in a string of crazy and vivid dreams that probably have something to do with unexpressed anxiety about moving to New York in less than 60 days. Only last night’s dream seemed like something I could actually pitch to a movie studio.
Imagine a high school with three award-winning [...]

Why I’m Angry, But Not Burning an Effigy (Yet)

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Yesterday’s post about the frustration and anger felt by the queer community at the lack of progress on civil rights has generated an unusually high level of traffic for my blog. Unfortunately, as urgent as I think queer rights legislation is, I’m simply not as angry with the President as many LGBT people.
I’m not an [...]
