Suicide

(The above postcard is from postsecret.blogspot.com)
Last night my mom called me at 11:20. “Your Aunt Debbie called and said Jimmy Dale hung himself, they are doing CPR on him now, say a prayer for him and Aunt Debbie. She is beside herself.”
At 12:09 I get a text from my cousin Chanc. “Della called and said [...]

A Soap Box Moment

“Did you ever stop to think that you should have asked if I needed help to mow the lawn? You knew my foot was hurt…” I asked the question of my roommate who very rarely lifts a finger around the house. I don’t mind for the most part. We are two guys and if the [...]

That’s Just My Baby Mama…

Erin and I went with Roger and Jes last night to PF Changs and then to see Baby Mama. I enjoyed the movie, but I enjoyed spending time with Roger and Jes more. They recently bought a house and they’ve been confined to a strict budget and working every spare minute on their remodeling project. [...]

I made grilled ham, turkey and smoked gruyere sandwiches and served a homemade fruit salad [...]

My Ten Year Reunion

Cody M. Turns 25 today. Jonathan D. turns 25 on May 8th.

Cody, Eddo, and Jonathan in Austin at Kirby Lane 2005
I remember the first time I met Cody. His brother Travis introduced us and I immediately saw something special in him. He was like this lump of coal that was ready to be transformed into [...]

Don’t Believe Them… It Sucks Being Gay.

Yesterday I finished reading My Friend Leonard by James Frey. Leonard is this tough man who is head of a large criminal organization (read: Mafia). He’s rich, he’s powerful and he lives his entire life hiding the fact that he is homosexual. At the end of the book Leonard takes his own life with a [...]
