Vegas continues to mislead

Here is another ad for THEhotel, makes me giggle, you would never see such a thing in Vegas. Sin City is a hate crime waiting to happen.

False Advertising

I came across this ad for a Las Vegas hotel...it is actually the hotel I stayed at on my last trip.  SOO not the truth...why does Vegas insist on offering a safe and friendly environment for us gays, when it is far from that? Vegas, answer me!!!

Mattress Mousetrap

I tried to do some major cleaning tonight....it was pretty successful aside from my incident with the mattress.  I had the bright idea of moving my bed and cleaning underneath, I saw a few dust bunnies and they needed to be vacuumed up. I lifted the mattress from the box spring and safely (so I thought) leaned it up against my dresser...I continue moving the box spring and the frame...as I'm moving the frame...Mr Mattress falls on top of me, my shins just miss the bed frame (ouch) and I'm trapped underneath.  It was a mess, I think I saw Jesus for a second (he yelled at me for being gay). If that wasn't enough, the curtains fell...it was quite reminiscent of that game "Mousetrap".

I'm still shaken by the situation...actually it was kind of funny, I wish it was on video...

Another day, another f-word!

Gosh, the people of Saratoga Springs, NY love the f-word, no not fudge, f*ck, fancy or fupa...

I'm talking f*g, f*ggot and other such variations...I can't walk down the street without that word being screamed at me.  Yes I walk with a bounce in my step and I sometimes wear colorful pastel clothing, but my goodness, am I that flamboyant?  I usually just ignore it, but lately it getting harder and harder...the f-word is full of hate and I'm sick of being hated by people who don't even know me.  For those that do know me and hate me, I'm ok with that...at least you have a reason, but for the assholes that like to drive by and scream such nonsense, get a life.  It's like a drive by hate crime.  What disturbs me most is this is happening on a daily basis...its a bit scary and disturbing.  In the end it makes me want to seek out a more gay friendly city.  Any recommendations? 

Saratoga Summers

Yes, it is here once more.  Lucky us.  

I have a love hate relationship with the summers in Saratoga Springs, NY.  I love the people and I hate the people.  I love the track and I hate the track.  Do you get where I'm going?  

Of course Saratoga wouldn't be Saratoga without track season, so in the end I should just learn to love it.  This year as opposed to last I have separated myself from the Saratoga insanity.  I don't find the crowds (or most of the people amongst the crowds) enjoyable.  They are rude,  inconsiderate and obnoxious.  Just last night I was going to meet some friends for a drink when some crowd of meat heads decided to call me the obligatory f-word.  Really?  Are we we that lame and immature?  It goes to show what classless assholes roam the streets these days.  The situation put me in a fowl mood, so I thought it would be best for me to go home and head to bed.  At least I can avoid a hate crime underneath my sheets.

With that said I'll avoid the meat-head filled bars and seek refuge elsewhere.  

I don't want to wish the summer away but nothing beats a Saratoga Fall.  

The Good and Bad

The Good: Obama! Congrats to our country and world!

The Bad: Proposition 8 and other states...I thought we have progressed a bit.

I can't say I'm shocked by the fact that states continue to take away the freedom to choose who one can marry. I suppose that those who can get married have a hard time relating. But I'm shocked that they can't put themselves into someone else's shoes. Do people honestly care who I want to marry, it's not like I'm asking the country to attend my wedding. It's not like I'm asking the country to take part in my bedroom activities. These bans on marriage are stemming from pure hate and that is a scary thing. Gays marrying would ruin the sanctity of marriage? Hasn't that already been ruined? Divorce??? People paying money to marry so they can stay in this country? It's sickening. Then across the street two men or two women are madly in love with each other, and they are forbidden to share in this sanctity called marriage. This sanctity which is just to precious and special to share with everyone. This sanctity so "respected" by heteros around our country. They have no legal rights to share 100% of each others life. No visitation rights, imagine your husband or wife is sick in a hospital and you can't see them. It's sad, sick and shameful. So those who continue to hate; our day will come. To those who are able to marry, consider yourself lucky. I have faith that our country will progress. Obama is a ray of hope in all of this. I'm thankful that Palin is no where near the White House right now, she is an evil and hateful woman with no business leaving her fine state of Alaska. I'm just elated that the democrats and maybe some finely chosen republicans are going to take charge and clean up the mess left from GW. In the end I hope our country is in a better place. For now, I'm putting my Palm Springs wedding on hold.

What a month…

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. That’s the only word I can find to describe the last month. I find myself amazed at all the events which transpired over the last thirty or so days; the break-up, the drama, death, Cherless (I created a new word) perhaps a bit of loneliness. But the list of the bad does not compare to the good. Bear with me folks; I need to visually digest.
-Restoration; my mind and emotions were quite a mess and it feels great to have sorted most of it out. Some consider loneliness a bad thing, but it really makes you look at yourself; where you are now, where you were and where you want to go.
-Family; could they be anymore amazing. I haven’t always been the best son, brother or grandson, but to my family that doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. That is the true definition of unconditional love and for that I am grateful.
-Friends; could you have been anymore supportive and wonderful? I’m honored by your presence and constant support. True friends a diamond in the rough, lucky for me I have enough to rival Cartier.
-Truth; the truth always comes out. I’m grateful for that. The past month made me realize so much, both about myself and other people. The truth always conquers falsities.
-Renewal; there are some people out there who renewed my outlook on mankind. Thank you, the world doesn’t seem so bad after all.
-The Journey Home; home is a brilliant thing. Nothing beats it.
-Smiles; you only have so many minutes in a day but you can never have enough smiles to fill those minutes. The power of a smile is an amazing thing. Thanks to all those who have filled my life with smiles. In the end they always out number the frowns.

Perhaps a bit on the dramatic, but sometimes I feel the need to share. Peace and Love, it’s the only option.

Another reason to love Brad Pitt

Kudos to Brad Pitt for donating money to fight the overturn of the legalization of gay marriage in California. More celebrities and public figures should speak up. Hopefully this is just the beginning. Isn't this country about equality???

"Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn't harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8."
