How was your day, Dan?

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

2013-06-15T06:03:52-07:00

Due to my certification as an HIV testing counselor, as well as my participation in a certain low-budget cable TV show, I have worked as a public speaker at colleges and universities throughout the U.S. and Canada, speaking on issues...

INCH

2013-06-02T16:35:47-07:00

I'm supposed to be studying so of course this is the perfect time to procrastinate and write a story. Several days ago, as I lied in a post-slumber state of quasi-wakefulness, I cracked open my eyes towards the clock to...

I give historical tours of the Art Deco District in Miami Beach. Here is a blog post with a few photos of a tour I led recently: Miami Beach tour

ODDS AND ENDS

2013-05-19T08:40:29-07:00

I am supposed to be doing homework so I've decided to share some delightful internet items with you, dear reader, instead. First of all, I wrote this about the latest season of "RuPaul's Drag Race," for Huffington Post. Long live...

BIRTHDAY

2013-05-13T05:30:00-07:00

Every year for my birthday, I choose a theme to help my mother pick out a gift for me. Despite my insistence that she stop buying me presents as if it is my 16th Birthday Extravaganza for the 22nd time,...

PROCRASTINATION POST

2013-05-11T09:28:07-07:00

It is a lovely afternoon, and instead of studying Fun Facts About Congestive Heart Failure for my exam Monday, I am doing absolutely anything else that will keep me away from that book. I cleaned the kitchen, I pulled out...

STARBUCKS

2013-04-28T07:42:02-07:00

Another day of reading nursing textbooks, another day spent with F at Starbucks. Topics of conversation included movies, Kosher hot dogs, and movies. She heard a movie called "21" is good and she wants to go see it. Hmm, is...

PLUG

2013-04-14T21:02:49-07:00

Tonight was a big party, for Pride, where they shot fireworks on the beach and Adam Lambert screamed a few songs while wearing an inexplicable shiny leopard-print shirt. I just stood there in the middle of the crowd, thinking about...

WHERE AM I?

2013-03-28T07:29:06-07:00

This was published last week, (link: Dan Renzi) but I saw it today. There is a certain irony in the fact that this "Where Are They Now?" article has gone unnoticed, because apparently even I don't know where I am...

STARBUCKS

2013-03-21T03:09:48-07:00

There is a Starbucks several blocks from my apartment, which has a particularly comfortable couch by the window. Although there are four other outposts within walking distance for me, I ride my bike to the comfy couch so I have...

BAKED

2013-03-18T11:15:23-07:00

The fish is filled with catnip.

INAUGURATION

2013-01-24T07:35:18-08:00

The problem I have with Beyonce Knowles singing the National Anthem at President Obama's inauguration is this: her desire to look fabulous during her "performance" places her importance above everything else going on that day. She shouldn't be so worried...

NEW YEAR

2013-01-06T08:03:01-08:00

Welcome to 2013. I hope your new year is going well, and it is filled with a pleasant mix of stable plentitude and exciting surprises. A few tidbits: 1) Gurdy the Cat is doing well, thanks for asking, after his...
