What's It Going To Be Like?

Here's Paris and Nicole from the Dyke March last weekend.

What's it going to be like now with Paris out of jail and all morally straightened up? What will any of us have to talk about? Who will Nicole not wear underware with? Who can possibly replace our most cherished debutard?

And most importantly..Who will become the next roll supermodel for our young women?

All these questions remain to be answered with time.

Who do any of YOU think it should be?

BAD BRAINS

Bad Brains has a new CD out. It's produced by Ad Rock of the Beastie Boys. I heard the ONE Reggae song on the CD. Which was pretty good actually. Apparently the rest is hardcore.

Wonder if any of the new stuff is as ENERGETIC as this video from 1982.

Happy Gay Weekend 07

Here I am chewing on the candy bra of some sweet thing at the Dyke March last Saturday. This last weekend was of course Pride weekend. We had a terrific time chewing on this and that.
This weekend was definitely squeezed full --fo shizzy!

RIP KDB

Here's Kris, Siouxsie Sioux and myself --probably '84.

Sorry I stole this picture from you Jesse.

Did you take it? And where were we?

Today makes year #5.

I was remembering the day that I first noticed Kris...

It was day #1 of my senior year in high school. I was smoking before class on a walk way above the music room. Leaning on a rail looking down to one of the parking lots with my friend Donna. Some one pulled up in their car and a couple of girls jumped out. Kris was the second one. She had on the coolest fake leather jacket and colored tights with her hair all spiked up!

It was love!

Doesn't that sound like the beginnings of a good screen play for a gay musical!

What should I call it?

Photo stolen from UncaJesse.

And I actually wasn't really smoking. But all the rest is true.

Big Love for Big Love

We're RABID about watching this show!!

Can I get an Amen?

Here's The Cake!

My girlfriend Kimm made this gorgeous cake for our friend H's 40th pirate birthday!. I missed it all--all two days of it!. Kimm left Saturday afternoon and came home late Sunday night. With all KINDS of stories! So sad for me... Please forgive me fine Irish pirate boy!

I spent all weekend working split shifts and having interviews for Ranger positions.

Today I was HIRED!!!!!

Me prayers have been answered mates!!! ARRRRRRR..I be a REAL RANGER!!!!

I've had such good luck lately that I'm wondering when I'll be hit by that Muni bus!

Although my luck wasn't good enough to allow me to party last weekend like the Irish girl I am (more Welsh actually).

I'll make it up to you next year H! Happy BDAY today!

Happy Fathers Day

This picture of me was taken by my little sister Keri when I was about 10/11. It's always been my favorite picture of myself. I'm not really sure why.

Maybe it's because it was the pivotal point in my life when I started to realize that I was really 'different' from the other girls.

But it's probably because I was wearing my two favorite pieces of clothing. My yellow ziggy t-shirt and a knitted blue and yellow vest that my sister-in-law Karen made for me.

I also remember that when this picture was taken it was a Sunday. We were in our front yard. And we were riding bikes. It was back when we could ride bikes on Sunday. Back then Mormons were even allowed to buy ice cream after Sunday school.

All that changed not long after this picture was taken. I'm not sure why.

Maybe it was because President Kimball (LDS President during the 70's) said so. But it's probably because my dad became Stake President (regional church manager) and we had to appear more holy.

But even tho' my Dad became Stake President and it ruined all of our Sunday fun, he was still the best Dad ever!

Happy Fathers day to all the deserving Dad's out and up there!

All The Good News Fit To Print

My Friends, I've got some good news!

First--Kimm and I are celebrating our 11th year together this month. We don't have a specific date. We like to call June our anniversary month. This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago at our home during a 'Naked Hot Tub Party'. Fortunately for ya'll, we have our clothes ON.

Secondly--I just received a phone call from a park supervisor who would like to interview me for a ranger position! He told me that I probably hadn't received the letter from headquarters telling me that I made FIRST POOL for hiring! Yes friends.. the tests have been taken and I passed them all with flying colors! I just have to give myself a little pat on the back. I haven't been so proud of myself in a loooong time. Now I'll shut-up.

Hopefully by this time next week I'll be a FULL-FLEDGED Ranger. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I have one last hurdle to jump.

Me And Dad

Here's me and my dad at the house I grew up at in Redding, Ca.

Believe it or not he looked EXACTLY the same then as he did up until a couple of years before his death.

The Alzheimer's changed his look dramatically.

Cartwheels

When I was 10 the most important thing to me was knowing how to do a cartwheel.

My dad realized this and decided he would teach me.

He was 58. I was 10. He stayed out in the back yard with me till I "kept my head down", and got the cartwheel right. He actually physically cartwheeled across the expanse of our lawn with me to show me how it was done.
That was my dad.

He will have been gone for two years on June 11th. I'll be posting more of him in the next few days.

Bluegrass Whore

I gots to get me in a bluegrass band.

June

June has a lot of good memories for me. And many sad ones...But lets just focus on the happy ones for now!

This song, Salad Days by Minor Threat, evokes some great memories for me. I couldn't find a video of Minor Threat doing the song. You can listen to the song and ignore the video...or watch it and fill it in with your own internal vision of friends you don't see too often anymore.

Anyway it's an awesome song.
