I know this is somewhat of a long article, but I found it really interesting. It shows two different treatments for young transgendered boys. Both make good arguments. But I’m more supportive of Ehrensaft’s methods. Decide for yourself.
I remember when I was younger thinking, why the hell can’t they make a vending machine that actually takes bills…you know what I’m talking about. The fact that you had to uncrease and manipulate the bill by see-sawing on the side of the machine and it still wouldn’t fucking take it. Combine that with never knowing what direction you are supposed to put it in because the picture is worn off….Well somewhow I missed it. Because most vending machines I use lately (only the ones at work really) take bills really easily, and you can put it any which way you want to….hehe. Just one of those things I noticed today. I need to stop taking the little things for granted.
It’s beautiful out today. I swear reading on weather.com that it was supposed to thunderstorm and shit. Maybe I dreamt all that. It was pretty early in the morning.
I took the pups for a crazy long walk today and they still aren’t worn out. As I’m typing this outside on the deck steps, they are snarling and wrestling behind me. Damn you Caesar Milan and your advice that doesn’t seem to work. My friend Andrew would agree with me.
Wow there was just an ant on my keyboard. I’m not a fan of bugs. I need to make a mental note (or a blog note I suppose) to find a pet friendly bug deterrent for around the house-I wonder if one exists. And don’t tell me to use cayenne pepper cause that doesn’t work.
So I’ve been chatting on gay.com a lot lately. I know it’s kinda strange…I hadn’t done it in years…but I guess I’ve had this urge to feel somewhat attractive. Sidebar-I recently lost about 20-25 pounds in like the Nov-Feb range, and have been doing pilates and yoga and trying to be more active. But all the guys that talk to me on gay.com are scary. And they say shit like “What are you into?”. And I just want to type “Uh, not talking to creeps like you.” I did put a couple of pictures up…there have been a couple of occasions where I will mention to someone that uh…no pic…and they say I’ll send you one through email. Keep in mind that I use my play email account for moments like these…but then I get pics of guys spreading their assholes and cocks galore…..NNNNNOooooootttt what I had in mind. p.s. I won’t post them here…cause that would just be weird.
Speaking of weird. I’ve went out in Lima, OH a couple of times recently. There is some hot mess of a gay bar there. But I’ve actually had a lot of fun on the occasions that we’ve went. I’ve recently re-connected with an old friend, and I’ve went with him…so that probably has something to do with it. That and the self-esteem booster that comes with guys hitting on me.
I don’t really know how a innocent post turned into me being a big dick tease online and at the bar…but ah well. Just being honest. I think my readers would respect that 
This happened almost an entire month ago! Why isn’t America hearing about it?
Thank you Ellen for bringing attention to this important issue. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of this little boy. I just keep thinking…I find it admirable for a young boy to just be himself in a society that looks down on differences in sexual identity and orientation. When atrocities like this happen, it hurts on so many levels, for the loss of someone so young and also for that other little boy out there that might be scared to be himself tomorrow. Please give some thought to how you as parents portray your views to your children. Are you passing on intolerance that should long be dead? Please, teach acceptance!

I woke up early this morning for no reason really. Maybe I’ve just slept too much this week from being sick. I’ve also been on this strange cleaning kick. Like I’ve actually wanted to clean. I must be sick. I guess people get in moods like that, when they are just sick of all the junk around them. I used to. I think I just got burnt out really fast after the move into the house. Tons of things are left unfinished, and there are still boxes unpacked.
Lately I’ve had this desire to look different, to change my appearance. I asked a friend - given, that was a straight guy friend - if he ever felt like that, and he looked at me like I was crazy. So I’ve grown a beard and let my hair grow out…and I’ve lost almost 10 pounds all in the last couple of months. You’d think that’d quench my feelings…but in reality I just have a sweaty upper lip, more opportunity for bad hair days, and I’m stuck somewhere in between the skinny and fat jeans. So maybe it wasn’t what I envisioned.
Sometimes I hate how intrusive computer programs can be. Right now I’m being barked at to install a new version of Java, and an update for ZoneAlarm. Not in the mood.
So went to a party at a friends house last weekend. I don’t think I mentioned. It was a game night which I’ve always wanted to do, but Mike was never into that idea. But anyhow, it was a little overwhelming because I met tons of new people. All area gay men. Kinda strange that I’ve lived in Findlay most of my life, and never really knew many other gay people. And the ones I did know, I unfortunately dated, or they moved away, or both - hopefully they didn’t move away just because we dated. Side note-I was always attracted to that artsy loser type. But anyhow I had a really good time at the party. Like I’ve been saying, I need to get out more.
If you haven’t already heard….Recently J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books announced that the character of Albus Dumbledore was gay.
I like it. And I’m not upset she never mentioned it in the books. In fact, the thought never occurred to me that Dumbledore might be gay. I’m not trying to read into it too much and say it’s a political statement. But it does says something about life and people. So someone is gay. That really shouldn’t change your opinion of them now…should it?
