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 [...]
Construction Time Again (Yaletown, 20100525)
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 [...]

The spacecraft was a long way from home.
I thought it would be a good idea, just after Saturn, to have them take one last glance homeward. From Saturn, the Earth would appear too small for Voyager to make out any detail. Our planet would be just a point [...]
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”
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:

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 [...]
C’mon, guess.
Aptly-Named Beach, Vancouver, 21 September 2009
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…
Short week, lots of work done, busted my Craigslist cherry (sold a TV and a Betamax — oh, yeah!) and my Kijiji cherry (sold my old bike), hung out with the inimitable J.D.:
With J.D. (7 September 2009)
…bought an awesome new citybike, heard the seven trumpets:
The Seven Trumpets
…discovered that in Space, no one can [...]
So we’re off to Israel in a month and planning’s in full swing, so I decided to share some videos we’ve been watching while researching. We’ll (of course) be using Sheepy’s invaluable posts on Israel and Israeli culture to inform our itinerary, and the abundant assistance we’re receiving from friends of the faith who’ve made [...]

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.
