Love - Art - Disease - Pain - Life-Humanness - "Otherness"
In our desensitised society,
the artists,
the bohemians, poor, discarded,
"others", recovering addicts -
all are more in touch
with their human-ness
than the so called
mainstream.
Despite everything -
HUMANNESS, LOVE, LIFE, ART survives.
-Jonathan Larson

Weeding through the garden of life
I've been thinking alot about relationships lately; what people mean to me and what I mean to them. I try to maintain the ones that I think are worth while, but then there are some cases when you just can't justify a reason to connect. I've met a lot of really nice guys in the past month or so, but then you get the handful of losers that you really have no other choice but to disregard. I hate to act as if there's something wrong with me...but the older I get, the more prone I am to believe that we, as humans, aren't meant to be in long term relationships. Could I actually convince myself that I believe this? It's more or less survival of the fittest, and I'm learning that I'm a lot more fit to survive than most guys...most people. I am so tired of seeing the stereotypical, the superficial and the trite. Maybe I'm afraid of truth's. I can recognize them, I think that's more than most tunnel-visioned queers. Love doesn't happen overnight...and I'm surprised to hear so many guys tell me differently. I scoff at their inner neophyte. Here's to all of the 23 year old, hot-as-hell, six packed Greek guys who can blow you away with their kisses (you know who you are) that boost the self confidence of the overly cynical. Yes, I'm cynical...which is a hulking and capicious step beyond catatonic. I'm not about to sell out now...my destiny, albeit uncontrollable, is taking me in some pretty cool directions. Life is great right now...I'm happy and enjoy the finer things...like AM radio.
Speaking of the finer things
NYC was a blast. I don't think I've ever had such a good time. When things slow down, I'll try to put together a nifty little web site with all the words and images that I can muster. As for now, bumping into Ellen Degeneres at Tiffany's and Britney Spears in Times Square were a total surprise, and hanging out with Sebastian Arcelus was a major highlight. Sebastian, you've become a real inspiration for me. You're a part of an amazing legacy, man. And you've got great hair...ha ha.
If some of you don't know yet...the BC/EFA auction was cancelled due to the blizzard. I've never seen so much snow before in my life. Some more highlights were: Juevos Rancheros at The Life Cafe, the dogs playing in 3 feet of snow in Tomkins Square Park, La Boheme, Millie, Spending some personal time with Pooh, Charles Adams at the NYC Public Library, Tuna at Ruby Foo's, Kermit at Sardi's, The snow in front of the Nederlander, The snow in front of all the neon of Times Square...hell...the snow period, Ashley, Janine, kissable Dave *smooch*, and Kevin Richardson (who is much hotter in real than on any cd cover, but did not renew my faith in pop music). Still a very nice guy, though.
Vive la vie boheme...
