The first weekend in March, I got invited to come to Zeus Comics and Collectables during their early morning filming to be an extra in their doorq-tastic Web series, The Variants. I accepted, of course, and woke up at the crack of dawn toting a waffle iron, spiky curling thingy from the 80s, a hand mixer and a C’thulhu t-shirt from woot.com. More...
Growing up, I thought coffee was the devil. Booze was the devil squared. People who drank coffee or beer were evil, filthy, satanic. They were destroying their souls. And besides, caffeine and alcohol were poisons, right? Those people were poisoning themselves.
Even worse, Mormon propaganda films so conflate alcohol and drugs that there was almost no [...]

This amazing event will feature 4 days or unique parties, a fitness expo, celebrity guests, and musical performances all in the name of HEALTH, FITNESS, AND BODY for Men of Color. More...
 I recently read how Adobe is pushing it’s digital book format as the new standard for digital publishing “to allow copyright holders to manage access rights blah blah blah.” I’d give you a link to the article, but the “blah blah blah” ought to tell you how much of an impact it had on me. [...]
 But I took the day off thank you very much. I'm leaving for Long Island and I really just need some time to get everything in order before I dash out. I've also been drunk this entire weekend so it only seemed like the natural thing to do to recover. In fact, I have never gotten so much laundry and other bullshit done in a single day in my life. It's been very productive.
So earlier I was vacuuming the rug upstairs and my retarded dog was dashing around completely horrified of the damn vacuum but instead of just leaving the room or fleeing in terror until I was finished, he would stare at it wide-eyed and dance back and forth in front of it, trying to do god-only-knows. It wasn't an aggressive stance of a defiant or protective nature but an about-to-piss-on-the-floor-because-I'm-so-fucking-scared skitter of certain doom. Seriously you dipshit... if it's that utterly mortifying, why don't you just go hide like a pansy in my room or the basement until I finish sucking up the dog hair that you put there in the first place!? So just for fun I ran full speed at him with it on and saw him actually bolt straight into a wall in the hopes of breaking through and into the open air on the other side and away from the demon-machine. Well, now he's really got something to be scared of.

I will wake up about thirty minutes before you. Walking down the hall, I will glance back at your slumbering body and I say to myself, "How did I ever get so lucky to be with you?"
Careful not to make too much noise, I pull out skillets from our cupboards and eggs from the refrigerator. I am a great cook so I start to whip together the perfect egg omlette. As I cook your breakfast, I hear a noise behind me and your arms wrap around me in a tender embrace.

Dear father,
today marks one year since your departure from life.
There's so much I'd like to say to you, and to hear from you, but all I can do now is write this letter and hope that you can read it somehow. I don't believe that going to the graveyard means much, so this is going to be my way to do something special for you today.

 With a name like ca$hmere, you'd expect a brand to be filled with plain and pricey knits. Thankfully, ca$hmere is a more interesting take on the cashmere sweater: colorful, edgy, luxurious, and of course, affordable.
In a world of simplistic knitwear, ca$hmere brings to the table some interesting concepts and fun into our closets. Graphical motifs, inventive silhouettes and patterns, and luxurious fabrication, ca$hmere defines itself with luxurious cashmere garments with a twist. If described in three words, ca$hmere would consider themselves witty, comfortable, and affordable by offering high-quality garments at reasonable prices.

I wish I could say that I knew the church was true.
I wish I could say that I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God, and that Joseph Smith was a true prophet.
I wish I could tell you that there is a prophet of God on the earth today, and that if you follow his counsel, infallible and divinely given, you will find eternal peace.

Having converted at 19 to the LDS Church, I was taught that Latter-day Saints are given the special charge to bless all the people of this world with God's perfect love, even in times of great adversity and strife. You are probably quite familiar with a frequently recited scripture from the Book of Mormon that requires the faithful "to mourn with those that mourn, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort" no matter who, no matter when. The question I share with you is, what comfort is there in knowing our religious leaders willfully condemn gays and lesbians to inequality?
Gay and lesbian Mormons like myself often lead isolated lives tormented by the contradiction between the Church's doctrine of unconditional love and their express condemnation of gays and lesbians both within the church and in the public sector. I simply refuse to acknowledge that God in any way desires that his gay children are marginalized…. I also can't imagine a Mormon who professes to love both God and his neighbor will allow himself or herself to believe that homosexuals should be treated as second-class citizens.

 I almost lost it this morning. I could feel panic rising and had to fight hard to keep from freaking out. I haven't been this scared in years.
I seem to have slipped into a major Pacific Ocean current during my swim this morning. I did more than three miles in just over an hour (very very fast for me) and found myself a little too far out to sea. I climbed into the kayak I tow behind me for the trip home, but three hours later had to give up paddling and call for help - a first for me.

Let the leaks begin! With a hat tip to Paul over at FizzyPop, yesterday marked the first song to leak out onto the Internet from Shayne Ward’s third album in the form of “Crash“. It is a slow-burning ballad that sounds great, but definitely doesn’t scream “first single”. That honor is supposed [...]

 I don’t normally post during a reading, but this book demands small posts. I’ll also be tweeting and posting to my Facebook little bits of wisdom as I go along.
