A Zen gay atheistic Texan’s perspective

Can’t believe I’m up this late. I’m going to bed after this seeing as how I need to mow the lawn in the morning before Ian’s family comes over.
Work is going well. Trying to bring in our schedule, but I think we can do it. I really want this to go into production smoothly as […]

Yeah!!!! With all the anti-gay news going on these days, it’s nice to see a ray of light amidst the dark clouds.
Connecticut signed into law civil unions for gay couples, the first state to do so without court order (no “activist judges” to blame here). I’m sure there’ll be a new term for representatives […]

But better late than never! Ian and I had a great time on my birthday Monday. He took me out to dinner and a movie. We saw Amityville Horror, then went and had yummy food at Cheesecake Factory.
The movie was a decent horror movie. Better than a slasher flick, but nothing incredibly sophisticated about the […]

Follow the link below to fax your Texas state representative. I urge anyone I know, friend or family, who lives in Texas to do so (or heck, even if you don’t live here let them know what you think!)
The Texas House of Representatives have banned GLBT parents from being foster parents. The next step is […]

So I’m sitting around today while my code is compiling clicking on the PalmOne Treo PDA Giveaway. In thanks for selling one million Treos, they’re giving one away every five minutes today from noon to midnight.
Now, I’m giving you all the link, but I’m trusting you won’t actually go to it and enter the […]

Good morning everyone Not too much to blog about. Ian and I went to the Tori Amos concert last night and had a good time, even if it was her most mellow concert in years.
The most exciting news (yeah, we’re really this exciting), is Ian whipped together a kick ass pair of blackout drapes […]

This looks pretty scary. Right wing Republicans are looking at creating a parliamentary option to stop the filibuster. The filibuster has long been a tool of the minority to halt progress on extremist action on either side of the aisle. Destroying it tears asunder a major pillar of American democracy. Contact your Senators and tell […]

Actually, this is Tori Amos’ Beekeeper concert tour I presume, but I couldn’t work that into the title of this post. Heading out here in a bit to see her with Ian.
Been a good, productive weekend. Had friends over last night for games. Chris and I stayed up late and watched 28 days later, which […]

I’m generally pretty laid back. Sure, I’ll vent about the topic du jour, but otherwise I like to think I get along with most reasonable people. Especially at work. I just don’t care that much to get that upset! (On a side note…I found out about the ‘pay plan’ today…1.5% raises coming soon…WOW!!! HUGE!!) […]

Just not been in a blog-chatty mood the last few days I guess. Work’s been a little slow. We’re supposed to find out the ‘pay plan’ as they so euphemistically call the raises around here sometime soon.
Ian endulged me last night and we did a bit of shopping. I used part of his parent’s […]
