This past weekend, under a canopy of swaying palm trees and morning fog, was the 39th Annual West Hollywood Pride Parade. With any pride parade there was the usual ripped bodies, dance music, and outlandish costumes. But this year was a little different…a little more serious, perhaps. Since the last festival, the first official gay [...]

You’d have to be living under a rock, or a trailer park in Toledo, Ohio, to not know of Carrie Prejean, our official Miss California and runner-up for Miss USA. What was once a simple beauty pageant has become a political arena ever since she shared her beliefs that marriage is reserved solely for heterosexual [...]

In case you’ve never visited, space can be a scary place. Not only is it a huge, silent, and empty vacuum, but it’s also full of solar flares, grouchy aliens, and extreme temperatures. It doesn’t sound like a very nice travel destination and is an even worse place to live. Unless of course you’re stationed on board [...]
The Anti iPhone

The phone you see in the picture to the left is my personal everyday mobile phone. Okay……you can stop laughing now. This phone is as basic as cell phones get nowadays; there’s no camera, no videos, no downloads, and no Internet. It’s an honest to goodness phone and that’s all there is to it. And [...]

I grew up as a kid watching X-Men on Saturday mornings and although I was never a fan of the series, my inquisitive side would always naw away at me. How and why did these mutants become the X-Men? What was the purpose of their existence? Granted, it’s been many years since I’ve watched the show [...]
The Road to Being American

Yesterday, along with 3,900 other participants, I raised my right hand and obediently swore to uphold the responsibilities that come with US citizenship and for a brief moment, was the newest American. It’s been a long journey to get to this point and one that has been filled with the conflicting combination of anxiety, patience, [...]
Is It Worth KNOW1NG?

There are the occasional films that leave me captivated long after the movie and the credits are over. “Knowing”, being released tomorrow, is one of them. It asks the biggest question in the universe; are the events in life pre-planned in a particular order or are they just random happenings?
Gym Etiquette 101
Posted in Uncategorized on March 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Almost every morning, before the sun comes up, I drag my sleepy carcass out of bed and off to the local gym. It’s been a ritual of mine for over three years and even though I may grumble about it each morning when the alarm rudely wakes me up, my day wouldn’t feel right without [...]
Could The Yes On 8 People Be Right?
Posted in Uncategorized on March 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I once saw a bumper sticker that made me laugh that read; “Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one!” It made a very eloquent point that stuck with me, and it would be safe to assume that everyone has an a**hole. Anyway, back to the point, everyone is entitled to their opinions and they all differ [...]
Our Day In Court

Is it possible that California, which was both riveted and divided by the Proposition 8 campaign and its aftermath, actually looked away for a couple of months, distracted by shared worries over the economy? After all, it’s hard to boycott supporters of one side or the other when everyone is trying to save money.
