There’s a moment, on the dancefloor, when everything falls into place — the lights, the sound, the beat, the vibe, the crowd, the lyrics, the energy, the… intangible tribal quality of moving your body in time with the universe — where you consciously toy (for a microsecond) with the idea that if that moment of [...]
The title of this post is cheerfully ripped off from the Richard Brautigan poem “All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace” — a typically-whimsical, typically-Brautigan meditation on a future devoid of labour and filled with connectedness, via technology, to all of the natural world — but it’s really just the title I’m stealing.
I want [...]
I’ve been uncluttering my life lately, tossing stuff into piles labeled “Need”, “Want” and “Discard” — alternately: “Love”, “Like” and “Lose” — and nothing escapes scrutiny.
Nothing.
Including This. That. No Other.
A lot has happened since my last posts and I suppose an apology is in order for the broken promises to update here. I’m sorry. Stuff [...]
Pretty quiet around here, huh?
That’ll change. The past two months have been introspective, busy, fun, scary, sexy, stressy, wonderful and, ultimately, totally necessary.
See you early in 2010. Promise.
Underworld, “Two Months Off”
So we went to Thrill the World Vancouver 2009 at Yaletown’s Roundhouse this evening:
And scariest of all…
I’ve never been fond of Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. It’s cold, bereft of useful traveler connection-time-wasters and, for airlines, one of the most expensive airports in the world to set up shop. (Although, for the record, landing fees and terminal charges have been reduced from stratospheric levels). It’s always a giggle to pass through YYZ, [...]
After witnessing dozens of people wiping handkerchiefs, staggeringly cheesy dimestore trinkets and, I do believe, their panties on The Stone of Unction in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, I can’t help but totally love the latest from the Hebrew Badgirl:
Video: Sarah Silverman, “Sell the Vatican, Feed the World”
Oh, bygone eras of sublimated male eroticism! Before there was Xtube there was newsgroup photo-sharing and before those there were dirty videos (βeta!) and magazines. And before those there were International Male catalogs and “fitness” magazines and before those there were the swimsuit and underwear sections of Sears and Eaton’s catalogs.
And before those there were [...]
I should totally be packing for our trip while waiting for the next round of tests to come down the pipe from Toronto but find my mind wandering south, not east or even Middle East. Hunh.
Dreaming (30 September 2009)
Soup Vampire (26 September 2009)
Oh, hey. I turned “30″ this week.
Three days ago, to be exact, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention it (at least in passing). We all mark significant milestones in our lives, and 22 September 1979 was one of the most critical in my development. Not unlike a majority of gay men of my [...]
Rugby star — and TTNO fan-fave — Ben Cohen strips for Attitude mag and says this about his physique:
I don’t think I’ve got a good body. And that’s not cause I want you to say I have. I don’t look in the mirror and go: ‘Fucking hell Benny, good body.’ I look at it and [...]
Brilliant work from Funny or Die:
Protect Insurance Companies PSA from Will Ferrell
Courtesy Sheepy.
What a great week. Got a shitload of work done, kicked cardio ass at the gym and, best of all, met up with and hung out with MikeP, one of my oldest and dearest friends (and, if memory serves, the first person to whom I came out), here in YVR on business. I can’t wait [...]
You have no. Idea.

Thanx to MikeP…

A note about the images… flickr’s being hardass about the images hosted on their servers, which is their right, so in an effort to ease their concerns, I’m moving the ones they consider contentious to another server. That’ll mean there’ll be quite a few broken images until the move is complete. My apologies for the inconvenience.
