Scary, so scary that this is true...

To anyone who has met me in person and knows what my coworkers, friends and landlady call me (ok, my legal name) this is beyond funny!

The Most Amazing Qu--Hey, Look, Candy!
Your Result: Polka Dotted Sasquatch

You are seriously polka dotted. And fuzzy. Actually extremely fuzzy. You should probably buy a razor. You're starting to freak me out here. And I don't know how to spell your name.

Froggie's wife took this (via phone) and here are her results. Scary! Very Scary!!! :-)

The Most Amazing Qu--Hey, Look, Candy!
Your Result: Purple Sofa

You're nice and squishy, and people like you a lot. In fact, I think everyone likes you. Plus you're purple. Everyone likes purple, and everyone likes sofas. Except guys don't like purple as much. Samuel L. Jackson likes purple. That's why he has a purple lightsaber. Only I don't know if that's his actual name. So it goes.

Matthew Shepard Act

The Matthew Shepard Act has been passed by both the House and the Senate. In case you are not familiar with this it is:

"The measure would give the federal government more leeway to investigate and prosecute hate crimes and increase federal jurisdiction on such crimes. More important, it would expand the groups protected under current law to include such categories as disability, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity. " - ABC News (http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=3659768&page=1)

It is amazing that this is moving forward. FINALLY, some federal protection from rape, beatings, and murder because of my orientation. It is strangely comforting to know that if the worst does happen to me that something would be done about it instead of it dissappearing in the haze of some backward town's sheriff department.

However...

The president has vowed to veto this act. Go fucking figure. Wonder what lord Cheney thinks about that? Course he wouldn't need to give a flying shit about it cause he can always afford to hire protection for his little angel or pull strings to make sure she doesn't get fired.

Unlike the rest of us.

Anyhoo...

I do have something for those who voted against protecting MY freedom. (Hat tip to Ru for sending me this a while ago.)

Do your tits hang low?

I was bitching to my wife the other day about how my poor boobies are headed down to my waist.

This (other than shit keeps breaking) is probably the biggest thing that gets me about getting older. It sucks. I miss my perky boobies. I don’t think I can do the surgery thing cause, you know, that would be joining in with the superficial snobs of the world and who the hell wants to join them?

Bitch, whine, moan….

My wife’s response?

She started singing this song. You should be able to guess the tune.

Do your tits hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie 'em in a knot?
Can you tie 'em in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder like a Continental Soldier?
Do your tits hang looooow?

I would have called her a bitch for that but I was laughing too hard.

Subjective

“What is real?”
Morpheus in Matrix.

All of reality is subjective.

My reality is not your reality and vice versa. What I perceive as a warm day is cold to others. Just look at Floridians who come up here to visit. My experience of living in a colder climate has conditioned me to feel 70 degree weather as warm. I am sure that you can come up with other examples for yourselves.

There are those who believe that all of reality is the same for everyone.

Universal.

Static.

Solid.

Not according to my experience. You know, solid, is not really solid at all.

Science has proven that there are tiny, sub-microscopic spaces between apparently “solid” matter. The keyboard I am using to write this has space between the molecules that make up the plastic that make up the parts to the keyboard. What we perceive as “solid” is really the electromagnetic repulsion of the molecules that my hand is composed of being pushed away from the molecules of the plastic in the keyboard. In a way, I am not really touching the plastic of the keys.

Still with me?

Lets go a step further.

“What is Truth?”

My truth, just like my reality, is colored by my experiences. What is true for me is not the same truth for you.

There are those who believe that there is only one universal truth.

I am less and less inclined to believe that.

I believe that there are many universal truths. I believe that the ones I connect with are just a true as the ones you connect with. However, I believe that those that are true for you, are not necessarily truth for me.

The truth in my universe is not the same as the truth in your universe.

Makes for an interesting view of the world…

Ah, more quizzes

You Are a Yellow Crayon

Your world is colored with happy, warm, fun colors.
You have a thoughtful and wise way about you. Some people might even consider you a genius.
Charming and eloquent, you are able to get people to do things your way.
While you seem spontaneous and free wheeling, you are calculating to the extreme.

Your color wheel opposite is purple. You both are charismatic leaders, but purple people act like you have no depth.

Love'n internet at home.

You Are Animal
A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.But you sure can beat a good drum."Kill! Kill!"

Got this in an email and

Just too good not to share!


Texas Car Wreck . . . Play by Play

You've got to listen to this! It's a phone call from a man in Texas who witnessed a car accident involving 4 elderly women. It was so popular when they played it on CHUM FM (a radio station in Canada) that they had to put it on their site. The intro says the man called his friend to tell him about the accident, but it sounds like the man was in the midst of leaving amessage on his friend's machine when the accident happened and he stayed on the phone to give a play-by-play.......hilarious! Click onthe link & turn up the speakers!!

Back to light and fluffy

I am finally getting the answers to all those things I have wondered about all these years and I feel like I am picking things up from long ago.

For example I had looked for a a copy of the song "Groove is in the heart" by Deee-lite back when the song first came out. I just today finally found one on CD.

Do you remember the song "When I think of you, I touch myself"? I heard that song long ago when I was in college (and about 8 years before I admitted I am gay). I heard about the video to that song and I really wanted to see it. Couldn't find it then. I have always wondered about that video cause what I heard about it... well, if you remember the song, you can imagine what the video looks like.

I, just 6 minutes ago, finally, after waiting 16 years, saw the video.

DAAAAMMNNNN.

After picking my jaw up off the floor I remembered when this was released and I thought about how I was at that time. I was so heavily closeted that I would not admit, even to myself, that I am gay. Gay was a choice, and more importantly, of the devil.

*Hanging head* Yes, secret is out. I come from a fundamentalist Christian background and was very into it till not too long before I came out to myself. I call myself a "recovering Southern Baptist."

But, I digress...

After watching this video I waited 16 years to see, I had a realization. I am really, reeeeally, glad I couldn't find it then. I was so heavily closeted (such a shame) that had I seen this when it first came out, I would have had a seizure and my head would have imploded from the sheer...

Uh

Aw shit. I can't describe it. Y'all watch it and tell me what you think.
