| Oct 31, 2003 - Halloween This was a pretty laid back Halloween. Schedules just didn't line up. No costume this time, so you get to see me last year. It was the second year that people I work with didn't recognize me. 
Oct 26. 2003 - Crack addict Yep, the BF is back on crack. Hooked up to the life support machine for 10 hours a day. So far the window has been left open, the patio door has been left open, the stove has been left on... Evercrack seems to cause an attention deficit disorder that Ritalin doesn't cure.
Oct 20, 2003 - Link of the week Oct 14, 2003 Yesterday's entry about the forged letters reminds me that I need to write "my soldier". ... and get ready for friends coming in from out of town in a couple days, and convert the lower level from my garden staging area to the main Lan Party room, plant spring bulbs... I've been busy with so much little stuff lately that I didn't get a chance to read my comic books last week and accidentally bought a few of the same ones this week. Hmmm, I hope C or his friends in Kosovo like The X-Men. Oh well, I'm going to shut up and go recycle some cardboard.
Oct 13, 2003 - Unbelievable It's not like the Bush administration hasn't misled us before, but I don't see how they didn't think anyone would notice their latest exploitation of American Soldiers. I also watched the movie Skulls 2 tonight. It's at least loosely based on a secretive order at Yale. I'm beginning to wonder how close to reality the movie might be.
Oct 12, 2003 - Prison Break! We got a dog door. I figured if the puppies could let themselves out, there would be less accidents (Taz isn't quite housebroke yet). This morning I was wondering why I hadn't seen Taz lately... outside he was trying to dig a tunnel under the fence. I think I definitely need to keep a closer eye on that guy.
Oct 11, 2003 - National Coming Out Day In honor of NCOD, my lame coming out story. I gave my parents a copy of Are You Still My Mother? by Gloria Guss Back, with parts highlighted that I thought applied more to our particular situation. I had already moved out so there wasn't a lot of immediate reaction. My mother was glad to find out that I wasn't a slut and didn't hate women. Dad has never been big into talking things to death, and I think it helped that I didn't have a serious relationship for a few years. By the time John and I were together, everyone was completely fine with it. There wasn't much drama. My older sister was a little pissed that for a while I just avoided confirming it. My younger sister was a little upset that she was the last in the family to know. These days I just go through life like everyone already knows. There have been a few problems. Years ago, a week after my manager mentioned to her supervisor (thinking it wasn't a big deal) that I was gay, I was "let go". Just because there are state laws to prevent discrimination doesn't mean it doesn't happen or that it is easy to prove.
Oct 10, 2003 - Party with the rock stars. John went out with some friends from work. During the course of the evening they found themselves at the same bar as Garbage. For those that don't know, most of Garbage comes from Madison in one way or another, so they end up in town on a regular basis. John used to date a guy that knew someone in Garbage, so he walked up and said hi (they'd been introduced before). John had a blast and didn't get home until after 5:00 am. Makes me think maybe I should have gone out with them instead of staying home and playing Age of Mythology!
Oct 8, 2003 Several months ago I had the opportunity to attend a benefit dinner where our former governor Lee Dreyfus received a Political Courage award for being the first Governor to sign into law equal protection for gays and lesbians. He spoke, saying that he didn't think he did anything particularly courageous. As a republican he felt the government's role was to guard the shores, deliver the mail, and stay out of my life! He added that that was before the religious fascists took over his party. Since then our kur-a-jus current Governor has stated that the legislation currently being reviewed by the legislature to define "marriage" as a union between a man and woman (as opposed to the ambiguous husband and wife) simply wasn't needed since marriage equality was already illegal. Of course his kur-age doesn't pale in comparison to Madison's Mayor. In a recent discrimination case, he decided that the previous Mayor's investigation was sufficient and there was nothing to look into. Once the case was passed to state offices, they found (in my words) Were you people on crack? There is a ton of evidence to suggest discrimination, and it would appear there is a perception problem with numerous city offices. All this (in my life perspective) has led up to National Hate Fags week as approved by our appointed (not elected) president George W Bush. When W decided to go to war against Iraq I gave him the benefit of the doubt - that the government really had evidence of terrorist ties and weapons that for some reason (national security) they couldn't openly share. I admit to being gullible. It now appears that our president, as shown by our own government, is a nutball. So rather than do something about the lagging economy and the over-extension of troops at war around the world - the Xian fascists plan to distract America with the threat that a couple of men (like me and John) might decide to have a committed relationship. Please don't notice that there is a millennium group, which holds many key positions in the Bush administration that wants to control the world. Link, Link, Link and you can find more if you look. Wake up to the hate that is being foisted on the American public as a "protection" of our values. Do not let the anti-gay industry's attacks on our lives and our families go unchallenged. Send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper TODAY --
and copy letters@glaad.org. In the upcoming election, please decide for yourself based on the values of equality this nation was founded on.
Oct 6. 2003 In response to Bush's declaration of Oct 12-18 as "Marriage Protection Week" Morons.org has a declaration of our own.
In response to Bush's declaration of Marriage Protection (from gays) Week, we have a little proclamation of our own: Gay sex Is a Sacred Institution, and Its Protection Is Essential to the continued strength of our society. Gay sex Protection Week provides an opportunity to focus our efforts on preserving the sanctity of gay sex and on engaging in hot and wet gay sex in America. We must support the institution of gay sex and help gays have multiple orgasms. And we must continue our work to create a compassionate, welcoming society, where all people are treated with dignity and respect (unless they're not into that). During Gay Sex Protection Week, I call on all Americans to join me in expressing support for the institution of gay sex with all its benefits to our porno, our culture, and our society. NOW, THEREFORE, I, NICK "SPATULA" JOHNSON, Founder of morons.org, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the readers of the site, do hereby proclaim the week of October 12 through October 18, 2003, as Gay Sex Protection Week. I call upon all people to observe this week with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies (especially lots of gay sex).
Yeah, kinda lame, but it's the thought that counts. Everybody have as much gay sex as possible next week, even if you're straight. Piss off a fundie. Break some sodomy laws, UNDER GOD. It's your civic duty. ---Nick |
Oct 5, 2003 Link of the week
Oct 3, 2003 hmm.. A new toy like a DVD burner and a new game like Age of Mythology - Titans Expansion can really suck up your free time. That and the fact that we've had our first few nights of sub-freezing weather so there were the last of the veggies to gather before the plants completely died and the house plants to bring back inside. I'm glad the weekend is here so I get a few more things done around the house.
