Love and Marriage Part II

Nicklous — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 15:39:13 +0100

I’ve never really been into the whole “gay marriage” thing. I’ve never really needed it, or felt like having it was something that really pertained much to me in my life. It never seemed important to my situations.

Maybe I was failing to see the bigger picture.

Maybe I’ve always had a hard time believing that something like that could ever happen to me, so why care if it can happen for someone else.

It’s funny how things change.&nRead More...

Drinking & Gay in Texas Will Get You Arrested?

Jake Jacobs — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:44:45 +0100

Well it certainly seems so. In the Lone Star State, the nation's broadest PI (Public Intoxication) law lets cops go virtually anywhere and arrest anyone for drunkenness—even if they're quietly nursing a beer in a bar. The latest victims were at the Rainbow Lounge.

"A half-dozen police cruisers, an unmarked sedan, and the prisoner van slid to aRead More...

I posted this on my actual blog site as well, but found it to be important enough to copy/paste and add here as well.

I'll pimp out my blog page real quick.

http://xtraordinarymachine82.wordpress.com/

Here's the post.

Today, like any other day I woke up and got online. I checked my email, my blog, my facebook, and whatever other sites that happen to be included in my daily check-up-ons.

I read lots of things on facebook. People unable to sleep. PeoplRead More...

An uncelebrated holiday - My Birthday

Jake Jacobs — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 20:52:48 +0100

I wonder how many other people think like I do, my birthday should be a Holiday, even a personal one, where I do not have to work and be waited on like a king. Ok now back to reality.

Now that I get to explore the other side of 50, yep I turned 51 today, I really do feel kind of scared. It is like I am waiting for me to physically Read More...

Silent No More

Jacob McClain — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 01:18:12 +0100

If there is anything the Prop 8 Trial in CA shows us, it's that once we bring truth & honesty into the arena of public opinion and share our stories, we gain what we seek.

Join a campaign. Fight for your rights. Every day of your life. We shall prevail.

"When I Grow Up"

Nicklous — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:14:56 +0100

Tonight, while standing behind the bar waiting for someone; anyone, to show up, I started thinking about things.

I remembered how easier things were as a kid. I remember having no responsibilities. No severe consequences.

I remember not having to worry about money, and relationships. How to make ends meet, or how to pull them closer together.

I remember being in school. I remember being praised by my grandparents.

“That’s my boy”, my grandRead More...

What I know

Aaron — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 05:43:37 +0100

So, I am no good at this writing thing, but bear with me will ya?

I have only been alive these past 23 some years. I have a lot to learn... the amount I have to learn, if we can use a measuring scale would be: shittons. But there are a few things that I would like to claim that I do indeed know. Maybe not 100% sure... but mostly sure.

I just recently attended a memorial for one of Toledo's known active gay man Greg Knott. And in a way it was eye opening. I realized how much I loRead More...

Turning 51 years old - Rules to live by...

Jake Jacobs — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 20:01:13 +0100

I turn 51 years old on January 25th. I remember turning 50 ("fitty" as I use to say), it was kind a depressed time, why? I remember at 30 thinking life is over at 50. But of course that did not happen. I still feel like at 25 year old trapped in this older bear body.

I have always had some rules that I lived by. Did I follow them all the time, NO. Nobody is perfect but trying to set some guidelines by which we live by, helps us in times of indecision. So as I contemplRead More...

In Memory of Greg Knott

Jake Jacobs — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:42:54 +0100

I received a phone call while having lunch yesterday (1/10/20190) at 1:24 pm, informing me that Greg Knott had passed away. A tremendous feeling of grief, loss and sadness fell over me. I am not ready to loose such a close and good friend.

I met Greg in the summer of 1996. I remember it well, it is when I officially "came out" to the world. I waRead More...

Are you a leader or a follower?

Jake Jacobs — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 20:34:22 +0100

Are you the type of person who will jump into something new and be a leader, or do you wait for others to do it first, then just follow them?

I am in awe as to some of the responses I am getting from my friends on Facebook(tm), other sites, or even ones I know in the "real" world. During the pre-launch period of this site, which is actually still going on, I have talked to a few friends about the site, and listened to the feedback and recommendations.

I hear from them, "Yeah - gRead More...

2010 New Years Resolutions

Jake Jacobs — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 20:31:44 +0100

Ok, I made the decision to go with 2 New Year's resolutions in 2010. I am kinda giggling inside asking myself if this is such a good idea or not, but I figure there are 2 things I want and need to change about myself this year.

The first resolution is my weight and health. Being 5o years old, and not getting any younger, I need to pay attention to my health. This means that the high protein, low carbohydrate diet is going to be my staple again for this year. I hRead More...
