I have long ago given up accepting presents or handing out gifts for holidays. I choose the donations to charity route. Yeah, i’m one of those people.

My charity of choice is, of course, an animal sanctuary organization. If you have some spare cash burning a hole in your pocket (lucky you!) and you’re not facing an economic/financial crisis, consider helping out an animal or two.

Happy Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus or whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year!

Gossip is boring. It’s never about the subject being discussed, it’s about who’s sharing the gossip. If you’re the type who will listen to or spread rumors with or without verification, then I don’t want to be near you. I would bet my heartbeat that if you had the chance, you’d believe or pass a rumor about me. I wish you well as a person but fair weather friends are not sexy.

Whether the rumor is true or not, how another person lives their life should not be fodder for gossip.

Let’s just dance.

A dog saves another dog that had been hit by highway traffic.

In your FACE, Michael Vick!

The gay subtext is through the roof on this BBC series. Merlin is an awkward teen and he has a secret: he’s magical. On top of that (or bottom?) he’s Arthur’s manservant. The looks and shared moments between the two are very rife with homo-centric appeal. It’s not the greatest show ever put together (or acted) but it’s a daring presentation and helps pass the time smoothly.

Would you eat fido if it oinked? Would you keep a pig as a pet if it barked?

Take Pete Burns, add PWL beats, mention Halloween and mix in bits of the Exorcist for the remix and voila!: Instant synth-dance classic. With a line about wicked queens, sorry, all bets are off. Call the losers. Send them home. Game, set, match: DOA.

I,I,IIIII I,I,IIIII, I am being haunted

It’s four o’clock in the morning,
And I’m sitting on my stairs,
And there’s bangin’ round the bedroom,
Even though I know there’s no-one there,
And I am here all by myself,
And you’re somewhere else with someone else,
And I am being haunted by a love that isn’t there

There is something in my house - my house,
It’s just a ghost of the long long dead affair,
There is something in my house - my house,
I just keep a hearing you runnin’ on up my stairs,
But you’re not there

I really gotta say it to ya,
Ya showed me a good time,
But for every minute that you spent laughin’,
There were hours that I cried,
And I think about what might have been,
If I’d never met that wicked queen,
And my heart broke into pieces at midnight on Halloween

There is something in my house - my house,
It’s just a ghost of the long long dead affair,
There is something in my house - my house,
I just keep a hearing you runnin’ on up my stairs,
But you’re not there

It’s just a ghost of the long long dead affair,

There is something in my house - my house,

But you’re not there

I,I,IIIII I,I,IIIII,I am being haunted,

And I am here all by myself,
And you’re somewhere else with someone else,
And I am being haunted by a love that isn’t there

There is something in my house - my house,
It’s just a ghost of the long long dead affair,
There is something in my house - my house,
I just keep a hearing you runnin’ on up my stairs,
But you’re not there

It’s just a ghost of the long long dead affair,

There is something in my house - my house,
It’s just a ghost of the long long dead affair,
There is something in my house - my house,
I just keep a hearing you runnin’ on up my stairs,
But you’re not there

It’s just a ghost of the long long dead affair

I don’t need all my friends to tell me
Things that I already know
Like in the best of all worlds
You shouldn’t forget self-control

Don’t say I don’t know what I’m doing
Cuz he said “it’s more than a feeling”
And I said “I need you too”
Am I just a fool?

I don’t wanna get hurt
I don’t wanna get hurt
I’m not looking for just another heartache
I don’t wanna get hurt
But I know it’s a chance I’ve got to take

I don’t need all my friends to remind me
Mistakes that I’ve already made
I just leave the past behind me
And go on believing that I’ll be okay

Some thing are only human
When he said he’d always need me
And I said “I want you too”
Am I just a fool?

I don’t wanna get hurt
I don’t wanna get hurt
I’m not looking for just another heartache
I don’t wanna get hurt
But I know it’s a chance I’ve got to take

Just another heartache

I don’t need all my friends to tell me
Things that I already know
Like in the best of all worlds
You shouldn’t forget self-control

Don’t say I don’t know what I’m doing
Cuz he said “it’s more than a feeling”
And I said “I need you too”
Am I just a fool?

I don’t wanna get hurt
I don’t wanna get hurt
I’m not looking for just another heartache
I don’t wanna get hurt
But I know it’s a chance I’ve got to take

I am a US citizen.  First.  A gay American second.

I want my guaranteed inalienable rights.  Now.

I may not exercise some of my rights but I still want them.

Marriage for all or marriage for none.  Everyone should be allowed to adopt or no one should be allowed to breed until every child is adopted (by those who voted for exclusion).

“No one has the right to be the judge of what is right for me.” - Charles Aznavour

Marriage, Civil Unions, Domestic Partnerships are not the same because Civil Unions and Domestic Partnerships are not recognized as valid unions by the Federal Government and therefore are not granted the same rights and privileges that marriage provides regarding immigration status, taxes and benefits.

Eliminating the rights for gay people to foster parent or adopt reduces the small pool of people eligible who are able to provide a good home to children desperately looking for homes.

Believing or not believing in God is one’s personal choice. Not everyone worships the same religion nor the same God or even subscribes to religion and creating laws that take away someone else’s rights is wrong no matter which side you’re on. The Bible is a guide for your path. Nobody else should be shackled because of your faith.

Irreplaceable though it would be nice if a few decided to follow their legacies.
