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 [...] Video: Pale Blue Films; Music: Mogwai 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 [...] April 15th, 2010 | Categories: Awesome, Bliss, Celebrities, Duh, Heroes, Religion is Bad, What Time Is It? |
 5 commentsI’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 [...] March 30th, 2010 | Categories: 3 Kinds of Gay, Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Toronto, Vancouver, What Time Is It? |
21 commentsPretty 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” December 31st, 2009 | Categories: Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Self-Pimping, What Time Is It? |
 Leave a commentOh, 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 [...] October 1st, 2009 | Categories: 3 Kinds of Gay, Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Green on Thursday, How2, Stupidity, What Time Is It? |
2 commentsOh, 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 [...] September 25th, 2009 | Categories: 3 Kinds of Gay, Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, IntoxiBlogging™, Sexxxy, Want, What Time Is It? |

2 comments5 September 2009. My brother and sister-in-law are in town from San Francisco. Took them to Gorilla Food for raw, vegan eats. I know, right? But the smoothies rocked. Later, we went to the VPL: Sibling Ribaldry: Champ and Me with Sis-in-Law and Bro …where we saw… a wedding photo? Okayyy. Goin’ to the Libr’y and We’re… [...] September 5th, 2009 | Categories: Bad Behaviour, News for Moms, Vancouver, What Time Is It? |
Leave a commentAnyone who’s spent a night out on the town in Vancouver in the last 30+ years has at least heard of Dick’s on Dicks (or Richard’s on Richards, for the less-vulgar). Surprisingly, it’s not a nonheterosexual club, despite its perfect name for such. I’ve never been through its doors (and if you haven’t, either, you can [...] I celebrate my father’s 81st, albeit remotely. Love you, Dad.

Vancouver Harbour from the Convention Centre So Timber was in town this week for work and to say it was great seeing him again would be a massive understatement. Also, he got to meet Champ (and Champ him), after hearing about each other for so many years, so it was pretty terrific [...] July 25th, 2009 | Categories: Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Self-Pimping, Vancouver, What Time Is It? |
2 commentsCan you remember what you were doing forty years ago? I can remember what I was doing exactly forty years ago. (Full disclosure: I usually can’t remember what I did last week.) It was a day very, very much like this day in Vancouver — hot, sunny — except it was in Winnipeg, and therefore much [...] July 20th, 2009 | Categories: Awesome, Bliss, Heroes, Want, War on Science, What Time Is It? |
