Today is the day! More to say on that but I'm really here because some of you have asked. Yes, I moved. I followed Peggy Archer's advice and am much happier at my new location. You can find me there, or just ask.

We take back the Senate (c'mon, you know we did) Our first Woman Speaker of the House! Our second Black Governor and first for Massachusetts.

Last night was the perfect night for my final Hollywood Bowl show for this summer series. The weather was perfect. We were a little late and missed the opener. I did hear her on my trek up to the nosebleed section but I was a little bummed that I missed Angie Stone’s set. Amazing to see James Brown perform though.

I used to be good about rolling over on mornings like these and recording my dreams. Then I suppose life happened and all that changed. I’m constantly reminded by my therapist that I need to do this so that is exactly what I’m going to do right now. Last night my dream was so intense that I actually woke up in pain from being stiff. I must have slept completely still for who knows how long due to

Spent the past weekend on Catalina Island. Well, I guess around the island; I was diving. How about, I slept on the island and spent the days in the water surrounding it. Didn’t see anything exciting but I wouldn’t trade a day of diving for any other typical day, even if it is just kelp beds and small schools of fish. My fingers are finally starting to fully blister. What a damn pain in the

It’s been one year today that my Ito passed away. He’s been on my mind a lot for the past several weeks. I couldn’t believe it when I realized that it had already been a year. I miss him. I found out last night from my Mom that Ito’s wife Amelia died too – three or four months ago. Our family found out by accident. Her insanely selfish daughter never bothered to tell anyone of her Mother’s

As I continue to spend every free moment (is there such a thing?) organizing the event that I am involved with next week, I stumbled upon another disturbing issue that I don’t think a lot of us know about. With so much hardship going on in the Middle-East already, how would you also like having to hide (even from your own family) the fact that you are gay for fear that you will be executed?

I love the Caribbean. I’ve always wanted to visit Jamaica. The more I learn about it unfortunately, the more I realize I have no business spending my hard earned money and precious free time there. Today I read an article announcing that a recent benefit concert was cancelled due to an outcry by the ‘black bloggers’. Upon reading more I discovered that LIFEbeat had scheduled an upcoming concert

June Allyson died over this past weekend at the age of 88. June Allyson was a very well-known actress in the 40s and 50s. She was best friends with Judy Garland and always included in the typical “movie star” crowd of that time. Unfortunately, for a lot of us, June Allyson will be remembered as the spokesperson for Depend adult diapers. Lately it seems more and more there are events, people and

Today is my 4th anniversary of being a vegetarian. Other than one shrimp incident that first December in Orlando, I have not eaten meat since the 4th of July, 2002. That day I spent the holiday at my house barbequing in my backyard. I set a special table outside. We had bbq Boca burgers, my special homemade quacamole and fake bacon strips. All the fixin’s along with chips and probably beer.

Lately some really cool things have been floating my way as a result of being on the Board of the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender) group at Disney. We had our monthly event on Tuesday night which has been picking up steam throughout the year. I’m always approached by various members who want to introduce themselves. Usually they thank me for keeping the group active, which is always

I’ve known of the possibility but found out last night that it is definite – my dogs will be moving to Redding, California soon. I have emotions all over the gamut right now but I don’t think it’s even truly hit me yet. They’re not supposed to be gone for good, just temporarily. I have to hold on to that. My ex and I have shared custody of our two dogs since we parted ways over 5 years ago.

Awesome weekend. I’m exhausted today but for once it’s not because of work. I had Friday night all the way to Saturday evening alone in my place with my dogs. I napped! Me! Thinking about it brings a tear to my eye. Ok, enough. Saturday night Laura and I went to our friend’s house where we had dinner and played Playstation 2. Kicked each other’s asses as Lil’ Kim, Carmen Electra and some other

Last Friday I read a blogger’s post that spoke about his living in Los Angeles for 10 years. Last Cinco de Mayo was my 11th year anniversary in LA, the vast majority (about 8 years) was spent in West Hollywood. If there’s one thing that can be said about life in LA it’s that nothing really truly stays the same. I thought about this over the weekend and it reminded me of why I so loved ‘my beach’

Strange past few days. Outside of being completely buried in work, which has pretty much been consuming my life, I’ve had to once again deal with death. I finished watching the final season of Six Feet Under. Little did I know how timely it would be and for that reason it struck me to the core. Laura’s step-father suddenly and very unexpectedly passed away very early on Sunday morning.
