One of Ze Frank’s awesome ideas! Reminds me of these pictures the “kids” of my family (my cousins and brothers) take every few years on my grandmother’s stairs. But, I would love to also try out some of the zannier pictures from my childhood!

Meant to post this before I left, but ran out of time. Amalah.com was kind enough to share this hilariously passé guidebook to marriage, When You Marry.

As far as I can tell, this book was intended for a high school course in “Family Life Education,” a White-House-encouraged initiative to strengthen future American families against the corrupting forces of communism, feminism, interracial dating and heavy petting. We’re going beyond the flour-sack baby, here, people, we’re going to bring down the national divorce rate through our ability to make high school students squirm in their seats. It’s outdated! It’s offensive! It’s adorable! It’s all this, and more. Much, much more.

I’m taking it easy today in preparation for the craziness that will more than likely ensue tonight.

Well, my 2008 was a spectacular one! I think the biggest highlight would have to be when I finally took a trip out to the West Coast; where I met Jack’s wonderful family, put my feet in the Pacific and hugged a redwood! I hope we get to take an even longer trip out there in ’09!

To my lover, all my friends and family, and anyone who happens to stumble upon this little blog: have the happiest and most blessed new year! Love to all!

I’m not a huge fan of her music, but Melissa Etheridge wrote a wonderful article about her “Typical Homo Family.” The struggles she and many other homosexual families have to go through is heartbreaking. And, I’m not going to say all the things I want to about Prop 8… It makes my too angry. Just know there’s a lot of cursing involved.

I know my preference of life mate freaks some people out. Maybe it is just their fear of sex or intimacy. Fine, let me stand before my creator and take any consequences there might be to living my life in truth and balance with my spirit.

Beautifully said! Thank you to Morgan for sending me this!

For those in CA: more info on how to fight to protect equality can be found here.

There is a success principle that says; You can see where a person is headed by the books he or she reads and the people that he or she associates with.

…

I guess I won’t call any group out for forwarding this to me…

Even though it might shed some light on who I associate with.

I sure do love you guys!

I would have liked to have posted yesterday, but instead I finished cleaning up and cleaning out our old apartment. No AC in that place anymore, blah!

Anyways, as I said, Jack and I took a week-long trip to the West Coast! It was so much fun and was a pretty big deal for me since I hadn’t ever left the East Coast before! First we did a little business related stuff in Portland, flew down to Sacramento (big hug for Liz and Oman) and then finally drove through San Fransisco and on to Jack’s old stomping grounds, Santa Cruz. I got to meet Jack’s family (loved them!), get great thrifting/shopping on (pics of that later), hug a redwood, poked around the UCSC campus (go slugs!), see some serious fog, and put my feet in the Pacific (COLD!). It was busy, busy, busy and go, go, go, but we still didn’t get to do all that we wanted. Next time we will have to stay longer!

We had an amazing time this weekend in the capital of the South! Enjoyed a beautiful wedding, chilled with Morgan, Zack and pals, danced with my lovely, and drank with my cousins and brothers. I got both my Waffle House and Chick-fil-a fixes. Though I slept very little, all-in-all, I could not have asked for a better time! I’m sad that the above is the only picture I took the entire time there (but what a glorious picture it is!).

I’m usually not one for greatest hits compilations, but do, in this instance, having all my favorite The Cars songs in one place (this applies to Journey, as well). Every song is pop perfection (back before “pop” was such a dirty word). Oh, do I love The Cars! This is one of those bands that we refer to as a “family band,” meaning that I, my mother, father, and two brothers enjoy.

Blondie may have had a string of number one hits and Talking Heads may have won the hearts of the critics, but the Cars were the most successful American new wave band to emerge in the late ’70s. With their sleek, mechanical pop/rock, the band racked up a string of platinum albums and Top 40 singles that made them one of the most popular American rock & roll bands of the late ’70s and early ’80s.
