...As We Know It

Sorry this is so short, but it won't really take long to say what I need to say. For now, the blog is closed. I'm not really going to update it until I feel I'm ready to. The only people who ever read it much are no longer my friends. Sadly, they've decided I'm no longer worth knowing. So for those of you who like the blog, I apologize. I wish things were different. Maybe I'll update someday. I'll let you know if/when that happens. Thanks for reading. I appreciate it.

Until next time[?]...

Blogness: Impossible...

It’s about 9 something in the evening, and I’m watching School of Rock on TV. I’m not sure why, as I own the friggin’ DVD and could watch it any other time. But alas, I’m just too bored and lazy to change the channel right now. Hehehe. So American, eh? There’s not much going on right now, so it seemed like the perfect time for a new blog entry. [Huzzah!]

I broke Buddha. *sad face* There’s this Chinese restaurant I frequent [Golden Star Café], and almost every time I’ve had a meal there recently, I’ve purchased a little Buddha figurine from under the counter. I always get a different one. There’s a green glazed one, which is really shiny and wicked cool. I have a purple one that glows in the dark. [Despite being purple, it glows green. *shrugs*] And I have a brown Buddha that’s larger than the other two. And that’s the one I broke. *another sad face* I didn’t totally break it. I just chipped its backpack thingy, which is a bummer, as it’s the coolest looking Buddha out of the 3 that I have. I’m hoping to get some more Buddha figurines in the future, as they’re really cool. [I’m so lame.]

I’m thinking of going to see the third Mission: Impossible movie tomorrow [Saturday]. On one hand, I think Tom Cruise has lost his fucking mind. On the other, I like the film series. So I’ll probably end up seeing it, as I really should get out more. Too much time at home can make a guy crazy.

I may end up seeing Adam & Steve as well, which is showing at the Bijou. It’s a movie about a gay couple who semi-knew each other in years past and re-met at a later time without knowing they’d already met. Chris Kattan’s in it, so I’m pretty sure it’s a comedy. And a gay comedy sounds like a good thing to me right now. [Still depressed about fucking Brokeback Mountain.] Parker Posey’s in the movie too, but I have a hard time looking at her without imagining Goth make-up and vampire fangs. So that’ll be interesting too. May have a relatively decent, eventful day. *smiles*

My sister is randomly asking for corn dogs. I’m not entirely sure why, but that’s what she seems to want. Rob [my mother’s husband] just went out to get her some, since we don’t have any corn dogs in the house. This, of course, is of no importance to myself or any of you lovely weenies. *bounce bounce* But since I’m being random and all, I figured I’d mention the corn dog thing. Wicked, eh?

Well, I guess it’s about time to wander off and upload this thing, so I’ll close it out here. *closes* See? Magical! *takes a bow* Be good, my friends. Thank you for reading, and remember to listen to my podcast! [Ah... shameless self-promotion. Lo-o-o-o-o-o-oving it!]

Until next time...

The Papaya Is Calling From Inside The House...


Note: For the record, this blog entry was started on one day, and added to during the following few days. So if something seems odd in timing or whatever, that’s why. This WAS NOT all written on the same day. With that out of the way…

Sweet zombie Jesus, it’s been a fucking long time! I just haven’t had the seconds and minutes and hours available to update this blog. A lot of things have happened lately. And at the same time, it seems like nothing at all has taken place. Isn’t that a bitch?

It’s about midnight as I’m writing this (though I’ll probably post it hours later), and I’m getting ready to watch Holes (starring Shia LaBeouf and Sigourney Weaver) for the millionth time. It’s weird that I like the film, as I really didn’t care for the book. I normally like books more than the films that are spawned by them. (Prime example: I love the Harry Potter books far more than the movies. But as the movies have Rupert Grint and the books don’t, I’m not going to bitch about how much Warner Brothers sucks for their bastardization of the book series. Ah… my dear Rupert. *drools*)

I injured myself at work. I was walking by a desk, and I smacked my hand on it, cutting my left middle finger. Luckily, the office there has quite an extensive first aid kit. Hooray! So I wrapped my finger in a Band-Aid and I’m all better now. *smiles*

It’s quite cold. And I don’t just mean cold by Texas standards. I mean cold, period. (I can no longer feel my left testicle. Guess I’ll have to call Higgy for some warm-up assistance. Hehehe.) It never fails that it’s like 80 degrees when I leave the house. And once I’m too far to turn back, it’s suddenly 40 degrees and I’m in shorts or something. It’s a pain in the ass. I miss Alaska and Minnesota, where the weather’s always predictable.

I’m really upset. Despite my best efforts to visit everyday and do what I can to make it interesting, most of my friends are entirely ignoring my message board. I have 28 members, and only 3 of them (Hannah, Xi and Helen) visit everyday, or nearly everyday. It’s very upsetting. A lot of them are GP members, which is extra upsetting because they have no problem visiting Jared’s site everyday, but my site is below them. Fuck me for not being as interesting as Jared. *sigh* It really pisses me off. I don’t buy the “I’m too busy” excuse, because I’m quite as busy as most people find themselves and I still find time to visit Jared’s board and mine nearly everyday. In case you haven’t noticed, my main site hasn’t been updated to a post-holidays layout yet, as I haven’t had enough time. And STILL I visit both boards. I want to know why it’s perfectly fine with everyone to act as if I don’t exist. Someone tell me why this is.

I bought Elephant on DVD. I’d been wanting to for awhile, but I just didn’t. (No clue why.) But I was at Borders recently, so I bought it while picking up something for Dani (birthday gift). I went in really only wanting to get him a gift. I’d already visited American Greetings and picked out a card for him, so the gift was on my mind at Borders. But I caved, and along with the present for Dani, I left the store with other purchases. I’m so lame.

I had coffee with a lesbian security guard I met at a bus stop. Hehehe. She was really cool. We talked about how her girlfriend is apparently doing things with a male friend of hers, and plotted ways to stop them. I suggested beating the man with a flashlight, but I guess she’s going for something less violent.

I visited the Whole Foods Market that day. (The day I bought Dani’s goods and met the lesbian security guard.) That’s my new favorite store now. Hehehe. It was like a vegetarian / hippie hangout. There were people eating veggie pizza and drinking soymilk, shopping for organic cereal. It was cool. I couldn’t resist buying something, so I left with a container of papaya spears (tasty fruit), organic chocolate truffles, veggie chips made from spinach and tomatoes, and Bolthouse Farms C-Boost (which is an immunity booster, luckily). Everything at that store has pronounceable ingredients, which is amazing. There are no freaky chemicals and stuff in there. The downside is that the stuff is more expensive. But it’s tasty, so I hope to visit again when I have more money for groceries. *smiles*

And now, I must run off to fornicate. But before I do, I want to promote an artist I’ve come across recently. She’s quirky, she’s cool, and she’s a boyish lesbian. Hooray! Visit AndyMooreMusic.com to learn more about (duh!) Andy Moore.

Until next time...

Is This New Year Belated...?

Ah… my first blog entry of 2006. As I’m typing this, it’s about 3:43 in the morning. I’ve just finished watching a wonderful Channel Four film that I’ve seen far too many times [Beautiful Thing] and I’m all hopped up on Coca-Cola and Honey Bunches of Oat. [If there’s a better combination than Coke and cereal, I’d like to hear about it.] I’ve just slipped in a Family Guy DVD, so my mood should stay pretty positive between now and the time I choose to give in to sleepiness.

I had a relatively decent week. I’ve made some positive steps toward working through some issues my friend Nicholas and I were having, so that’s always a good thing. I was finally able to by my own camera [I’d been using my mum’s before], so I’m very pleased with that. My sister’s boyfriend is here, and I always get a few hugs out of him, so that’s a reason to smile too. [He’s a weirdo.] And my Isis stuff came in this week, and I now have 3 feather quills, a bottle of ink, and some parchment paper. I’m thinking of getting a wax seal set for my envelopes too. [I’m such a nerd.] All I’m really missing now is an owl, though I may not need one if I can just teach Salem [my kitty] to fly. But he’s quite fat, so I don’t really think he’d be all that aerodynamic.

We [my family] are going to be moving into an apartment downstairs, which really pisses me off. For one, I have to take down all the fucking posters in my room and transfer them to my new room, along with all the other shit I own. And secondly, I think it’s just really stupid to move somewhere else within the same building. We’re literally only going down one number. We currently live in apartment 3, and we’re moving to apartment 2. Isn’t that reaaaaaaally stupid? *sigh* Of course, I don’t really have a say in the matter.

I would really love to grow a beard and mustache to resemble Captain Morgan [shown in the image to the right]. I don’t entirely know why, but I think it’d just be really cool. When I’m deep in thought, I can sit there and stroke my beard or mustache casually, as if I’m really putting a great deal of effort into every little thing that pops up in my noggin. It’d be the most wicked thing ever.

I’m really pleased with the feedback I received from my friends at GP, concerning my podcast with Dani [shown in the image to the left]. I didn’t really think anyone would listen to it, but the remaining ⅔ of the Holy Trinity and a few other cool people [like Rainbow] seem to like what he and I recorded. I smiled when I read the first comment, as I was really taken by the idea that anyone would care enough to download the file in the first place. Plus, it was my first podcast with Dani, so I really wanted as many people to hear it as possible. He’s a sweetheart, and the fact that he was willing to share his voice with the world and me is amazing. [He’s quite a soft-spoken and shy person, so it’s a big deal that he was willing to co-host.] I think it all turned out quite well, and I may be able to talk him into it again in the future.

I’m going to close the blog entry here because I’m actually quite tired. [I’m at that stage where one starts to doze a bit and smack one’s noggin across several keys on the desk at once.] So please look after yourselves, stay wicked, and go see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire about 16 times. Love you all!

Until next time…

A Little Notice to the World...

I recently joined QueerFilter, and I saw a post on the forum from this guy named Joe Brummer. He was trying to get a message out to the gay community about an anti-gay Christian radio show, so I figured I'd help out a bit by relaying his message. Here's what Joe has to say...

"Would you please consider the following to put out on your blog to help promote my efforts to Stop the Hate!

Stephen Bennett ministries has started an ex-gay, anti-gay radio show called, Straight Talk Radio. They have a website that is www.straightalkradio.org . On that site is a web discussion board that has become just a venue for ex-gays to discuss how horrid the gay "lifestyle" is and how destructive homosexuality is. Just real lovely stuff.

I have started a campaign to flood that web board with pro-gay, but polite messages letting Stephen Bennett know just who his show is hurting. I do not want people to send him hate messages, in fact I want them to send messages of love and pity. I would love to fill his web board with so many nice, polite gay people to let him know who he is hurting. Sticking with the nonviolence principles of SoulForce. Any negative messages posted he will just use against gays to show how "evil" we are (puke)

Details of this effort are on my website as well as some info about his radio show. The shows topics are just as endearing as the web board. One show was "the medical dangers of homosexuality' another was Matt Barber (guy who was fired from Allstate for being too anti-gay) as a guest.

Any help you could give me in getting the word out for people to visit this site, join his web board and offer messages of hope rather than hate, would be really great.

Please let me know if you can help. I would be happy to write a blog entry for your blog or even if you could just write a quick blurb sending them to my blog were I have lots of info and some quotes from Stephen Bennett.

Joe Brummer"

On a related note, I urge you guys to sign the petition against this particular radio show. I know people often think petitions are pointless. But at the very least, you'll express to the world what you think about such hateful media. Sign Joe's petition here. Thanks all.

Until next time...

Magical Moocow Christmas

Note: This post was written on the 24th, but I intentionally waited until today to post it. That's why the dates seem slightly wonky.
*****
As you can see, it’s been a tiny bit since I last updated the blog. Not much has really happened in that time, but I figured I’d fill you guys in anyway. At the moment, it’s about 10 in the morning. It’s a Saturday [the 24th, of course] and I just finished watching That’s So Raven on ABC. [Yeah… I’m a dork like that.] I’m feeling much better than I was Friday. Dani had me really bummed yesterday. It wasn’t his fault, when I think about it. Really just my fault for reacting the way I did. He didn’t do anything wrong, but I was just so upset about everything that day and I took it out on him by being a bit of a jerk. I didn’t mean to do that. He’s always really sweet to me, and I tend to lose my patience with him. I suck. *sigh* But he accepted my apology, so all is well. He and I are back to normal, which is good.

The board is doing a tad better, thanks to Ferret. I mean… ok… most people are still ignoring it entirely and will soon have their neglecting asses deleted. But at least Ferret is bringing more attention to it, which is pretty cool. [Thanks, Ferret.] Now the rest of you evil bitches need to hurry up and join, or I’m tracking you down individually and sodomizing you with jagged pieces of toast. Some of you happen to be members of other forums, so I know you’re capable of posting on my board. Do it!

I hate shaving. Of all the things I hate in the world, its right up there with moldy tampons and rectum-flavored ice cream. [Luckily, I’ve yet to come in contact with either.] Shaving just takes too much precious time. I think I’ll just stop shaving altogether and grow a beard like those dudes in ZZ Top. That’d be cool. I’d look like a total weirdo and I’d likely be routinely confused with Hasidic Jews, but at least I wouldn’t have to worry about razors and such. And the shaving cream always makes my face all cold. That’s just not cool. I propose an amendment to the United States Constitution that will henceforth make it illegal for beards to grow. *nods emphatically* I’ll pass the petition around. Anyone care to sign?

My infatuation with Ricky Ullman has returned. *hangs head in shame* I’m sitting here watching Phil of the Future, and it’s all coming back to me. [Dani’s going to tease me endlessly for this, I can tell.] Damn you Ricky Ullman and your pseudo-futuristic cutenicity!!! *throws a chair in mock anger* But yeah… I just found a Ricky poster in my room. I’d totally forgotten it existed, but I apparently got it quite some time ago in one of those meant-for-dorky-teen-girls magazines I tend to buy. [I know… I’m pathetic.] The poster is now on my ceiling, where I likely originally intended to put it.

Update on the computer thing: I have one! *dances merrily in little circles* I gathered enough money and purchased an HP Pavilion desktop computer, which I am super proud of. I’ve already filled 89% of the hard drive space with gay porn. [Just joking. I have some, but I’m not that perverse.] It’s really cool to have a computer that I can use without having to ask permission. And it’s XP, which is awesome because it allows me to use Google Earth [one of the coolest programs for dorks like me] which wasn’t supported by the Windows 98 computer my mother has. So hooray for new computers and the endless supply of… er… endlessness!

As a final thought for the moment, I urge you all to go see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire right away! I’ve seen it 3 times already, and I’m pretty sure I’ll end up seeing it loads more times before it’s available on DVD. I keep wanting to trample people in the street and yell Avada Kedavra at the top of my lungs. [Oh, how I love those Unforgivable Curses.] And now every time I see Daniel Radcliffe somewhere, I imagine bubbles. *happy sigh* So yeah… go see the movie, now!

On that note, I shall run. Take care of yourselves, my seething little sea monkeys. Happy Holidays to all of you!

Until next time…

Pandaboy: The Legend Continues...

Ok, so a scant few of you have inquired about where I've been hiding. And in truth... eh... I just haven't been up to updating this thing. As of late, there's been some shit in my life that I've had to attend to, and it just wasn't all that possible to update the blog without sounding entirely bitter and forced. Again, I'm sorry about that. I don't really want to get into what's been bothering me, but it involves a friend[?] who has been less than accessible lately, which is a constant bummer. But that in itself is more information than I wanted to burden you all with, so I'll move on.

Thanksgiving [which, for you non-Americans, is the holiday that gives us in the U.S. an excuse to fatten ourselves up with obscene amounts of bird meat] just passed recently, and I'll simply report that it was pretty uneventful. I actually slept through most of it, as I wasn't feeling too great. My family pigged out, and I merely dozed the entire time, finally waking around 11pm. And of course I was really groggy at that point. Almost fell down and whacked my noggin on the kitchen table as I went for some eggnog. I didn't eat nearly as much food as the rest of my family seems to have devoured. Guess I wasn't in the mood to be a piggy. But yeah, didn't do much at all that day. I think I actually went back to sleep after having a bite to eat. I really didn't feel very great at all.

I'm in the process of updating my website, which may be a bit stupid or it may be entirely wonderful. My biggest problem at the moment is the image map I'm trying to use as a menu. I keep fucking up the coordinates. So instead of going where the links should go, I'm having "wrong path" issues. I'm likely going to switch to individual little files, which is far less fuckupable. I really want the site to be up within the next week or so, which means I have to work my ass off to get it done. *sigh* It's just a lot of work, especially considering the pathetically low amount of visitors. I've put a lot of work into something that [clearly] gets no recognition whatsoever. Which leads me to the message board issue. I've closed it until further notice because no one gave a shit about it. But the minute I closed it, people started bitching about that. And it's like... Where the fuck were you when it was open?! It really pisses me off that I'm getting treated like a bad guy for closing down something that no one cared about anyway. Geesh!

I'm hoping to get a new computer. With any luck, I'll have one by January. I've hit a slight snag, however. I have the computer on layaway as we speak, but I have to find a way to pay it off before they restock it. [On the 15th of December, if I haven't paid and picked it up, they take it back to the shelves.] This wouldn't have been a problem without that December 15th deadline, as I get paid in December and would have paid the computer off and picked it up before January. But I don't get paid until after the 15th, which is where everything gets fucked up. So yeah... I have at least one person [Dani, seen here] who's offering to help with some money, so I simply have to find a few others. Paying it back will be easy, as I get paid on the 17th and the 23rd, according to my boss. I'm probably going to bother some family members in the next week, testing my luck. I really didn't want to borrow money from Dani, but he would've made me if I didn't agree. Hehehe. He kind of had to talk me into it. But he's sweet to want to help. I'm really hoping everything will work out in the end, as I really need my own computer. [I currently share one with 4 other people, which provides constant headaches, little privacy, and a vampire's sleeping schedule.] Wish me luck!

Ok... I figure this one's quite long enough, so I'm placing the stopper in the blog bottle now. Feel free to comment and laugh and do all the other things that you strange blog readers do. Take care, be good, and look both ways before crossing the street.


Until next time...
