Bloggy Phimpage

Needing to take a break from the dark and twisty places of my grief (and spelling, apparently), today I pimp out the bloggers out there that have made me laugh, chuckle, chortle, and shoot milk out my nose. My feed reader is like my little jewelry box: some are awesome new pieces that I constantly [...]

Goodbye, Nana

Dearest Nana,
You taught me to find tenacity in the face of grief, to find the joy in the pain, the find the light in the dark. You are strength personified, and today I celebrate your life.
Today you are finally yourself again, unencumbered by wires and tubes and bags and bandages. Today you see Pop-pop again [...]

Where is My Martin Luther Queen?

I’ve been sitting here for hours trying to top Max Mutchnick’s brilliant article put together my thoughts about what it means to be “non-mainstream gay” but this captures it perfectly.
Dykes on bikes, Tarzana Trannies, Jewish Leather Daddies and Kathy Griffin’s mom. Don’t get me wrong. I love these people. Let’s call them the “Usual Suspects.” [...]

TMI Thursday: Insinuated Edition

You know the drill: join us as we embarass the living crap out of ourselves. Share some completely tasteless, absolutely crass, dear-god-why-is-this-person-even-on-my-blog-reader-much-less-my-friend-when-should-really-call-the-cops-on-this-sick-fuck TMI story of your life.
Why?
Because LiLu, the Karen to my Jack, said so.
In this special edition of TMI Thursday (which is really kind of redundant because seriously, when is TMI [...]

Would You Rather Wednesdays

Spawned by the lovingly twisted mind of Maxie, who is LiLu’s special lesbinim lovah (not really, but I’m like, the only gay man who thinks girl-on-girl is hot), I ask you the dumbest question and force you to make a decision.
On this week’s special male hetero edition of Would You Rather Wednesdays:
Would you [...]

In Local News

Disclaimer: I may not be a full-blooded Filipino, but I hold the Philippines near and dear to my heart. I’ve come to consider Manila my city, my home. I don’t think anyone would call me unpatriotic, despite what this post may tell you.
Over the years that I’ve spent here in Manila, I’ve learned to [...]

Movie Review: Twilight Redux

Just because I get the most site hits (and hate mail) from my less-than-sterling review of the Twilight movie, I am posting this:

Yeah, I went there. And I’m not alone in that idea.
Sparkling fucking vampires.

A Small Bump

The sun is setting.
I can’t think of a more appropriate analogy to end the hell that is today.
The sun is setting.
After seven years, the sun is setting.
My world is aflame, collapsing in big clouds of ash and dust around me.
I stand here quietly watching it fall apart. Numb. Stoic. In shock.
A tear clears a path on my [...]

The Sanctity of What Now?

I don’t see any devout, church-going “Christians” getting all up in arms about this:

A real Las Vegas tradition. For the couple that wants to have some fun and tell their friends they got married at a “Drive Thru” wedding window in Las Vegas. Weather you come in your car, motorcycle, bicycle, or our Stretch Limousine [...]

Weird Demigod Widgets – Rusty

Every week like clockwork, I get my hair done. And by “done”, I mean every strand of hair that is not in its proper place is cut, shaved, plucked, hacked or sawed off my head. Like everything else in my paradoxical life, I am the hirsute Asian man.
This week as I was sitting on that [...]

That’s Right. It’s Been a Year.

Didn’t even realize it until now. Jeez. This day is all about new realizations.
Methinks blogging for a year has dulled my perceptive abilities, but oh well.
I’m basking in my betterthanyouness.

Happy Bloggiversary to me!

Letter to My Kids

I’ve got a bajillion and one blogs in my google reader from all parts of the planet. Some of them are in LA, some are in Utah, some are in Australia, some are in Manila, and some are in places so far forlorn I can’t even pronounce them (these are usually filled with pictures of [...]
