All I have seen on facebook the last couple of days are people posting "thank god 2011 is over", "2011 sucked," "2011 this and that, and a sack of nuts."
Well...I'm pretty sure 2012 is not going to change anything. Your life is still gonna suck, you are still going to be in the rat race and your still going to wake up every morning wishing this year was over...UNLESS...you decide to make the effort to change things. Shits not going to change just because you get to open your new cool desk calendar. Its only going to change because you make it change. The date is really just a trivial number that means NOTHING in the long run. Most of 2011 was enjoyable for me. The last three months have been really turbulent. I don't let on much, but I am really down right now. I try to keep the cheery disposition and try to enjoy what I can, but its really hard.
I caught myself saying "Thank God 2011 is over!" Then I started thinking, I'm not just going to wake up on Sunday and magically be out of this funk. It just does not happen that way. I have tried really hard to go out and make new friends and avoid the negatives that come with living 500 feet from boys town. And I think I have. I have met a few new people in the last 2 months and little do they know, they have made a huge impact in my life. Most importantly for me is that I have met these people on my own accord. I met them through other friends. Look at this bitch network! I have only made about 5 trips to the bars(1 for a birthday, 1 with Padraic and Kelly, 2 for fundraisers and I'm sure there was another one), which for me is mind-boggling.
Come Sunday, it will be the start of a new year, and a new me as well. I'm not going to say resolution because those always fail. I am simply going to say, that I want to be happy, and I know what I need to do to be happy. So I am just going to do it. Its not a dramatic lifestyle change or anything, its simply taking control of your emotions and disposition. Controlling your destiny sounds wild and dramatic, so I won't got that far, but you get the idea. One of my favorite quotes was by Lil' Wayne or something, "Be the Change you want to see in the world." Its about time that I become proactive in my life and stop letting the last 3 months get me down. I need to stop questioning whether or not I/we made the right decision, because every time I do, regret sets in, and that only holds you back. Decisions are made for a reason and are generally based on assumptions that something will either work or not work. Some are good, some are bad. But there is nothing you can to change it other than move on, and move on I shall. I will be happy, and that's all that matters, because I am the most important person in my world.
That being said, I hope you all have an absolutely amazing (AND SAFE) New Years Eve.
"Be the change you want to see in the world."

Sister Bandits
Yesterday was the third week in a seemingly abbreviated softball season. We played really well, won both of our games and are now tied for first place. This season has been a good one. We lost our first game a few weeks ago and have not lost since. Five straight wins. I attribute a lot of it to the camaraderie and chemistry that the team has. We are all having fun. Fun at practice, fun during the games, fun at fundraisers, and on and on. Everyone on the team has a thick skin and really knows how to have fun, the nicknames, the inside stories...Jesus I need a translator...
Saturday after practice, Angel suggested that we get some Michelada's at this place called Mi Lupita in Long Beach, sounds good to me! had a couple of those and then headed out to meet Laaaaaarrry at the Mineshaft. Cute name for a gay bar right? Almost as good as "The Black Hole" or "Desperation." So anyways, Angel's roommies, Jose and Frank joined us along with their friend Eric. We played some pool, drank some drinks, got kicked outta Paradise Cafe, almost got kicked out of Chili's, watched a scary movie, donkey punched a hooker, balanced the federal budget and really had a great time. I am pretty sure I am now an honorary citizen of Long Beach, but I can't guarantee anything. I am thinking that Saturdays in LB with Larry, Angel and Chelada's might have to become a repeat offense. Happy Monday scrubs. :-)

First post in a long time....
Had a nice chat with a dip-shit today. I LOVE mocking people, you should add him/her on facebook. :-)
Ernie Bondy Jr.:
Homosx is inborn? Sorry, There is solid scientific proof that there is no gay gene. Google it. We screwed up marriage?! Nothing screws marriage up as does the confused idea of unproductive, go nowhere homosexual marriage. What is perverted? It is homosexuality of course, but also it is to corrupt little brains by forcing homosexual beliefs down the throats of our children.Yes, this Country is in trouble, that is if you people get your way. But you won't, not with out the fight of your lives! We far right conservatives aren't going anywhere! :)

Ernie Bondy Jr., You don't have to go anywhere, you can stay right where you are. Stay right there and let a beautiful, accepting, progressive world pass you by. By all means, stay there, don't stand up for the humane rights and treatment of your fellow humans. Doesn't your bible tell you that we are all children of god? Or do you read the gay/women/shellfish = abominations version...?
I am a 29 year old openly gay male living "a life of sin." This is not a choice. I am a human being. I pay my fair share of taxes, donate to charity, volunteer for organizations, vote at every election, pay my rent on time, work 40+ hours a weeks. Now what in those aforementioned things do you have a problem with? You are not college educated are you? Have ever gotten a chance to live your life? Or are you simply living a life that was designed and planned out for you by people who were born in the 40's/50's. These are all serious questions. I need to know if you are detrimental to the heterosexual children I plan to adopt one day. I need to know if I need to try and vote away your rights? Have you been married? Divorced? These are all very important things. Aren't they? I am all about protecting the sanctity and bond of marriage. Factoring in that, since gays are only allowed to legally Marry in a handful of states, and only recently might I add, I can safely assert that it is YOU people committing the sins, and defecating on the sanctity of marriage. What are y'all looking at now, about a 54% divorce rate? Wow, that's...impressive??? Hmmm...maybe not a good example...
By your logic, homosexual sex is "unproductive." Really? you tell us this now!?? We have been trying and trying and trying for years now, and no pregnancy!! You waited to tell me until now that I cannot get knocked up through anal intercourse, ugh...You people...What, then by definition is sex with a prophylactic? (Prophylactic = condom/birth control/just the tip(?), in case you needed to know) That is as well, pretty unproductive, no?
I don't know how old you are, I am going to guess(based on the jr. in your name, and the old-ish profile picture) that you are somewhere between 16-85. If I were to guess based on the ancient ideas you are spewing forth, which you undoubtedly found in the 54th reprint/translation of a thousand+ year old picture-less comic book(That's the Bible in case you missed it), I would guess on the higher end of the age spectrum. Of course you did reference "Google" too, that's kinda throwing me for a loop. I looked up information on gay genes on google, but then got sidetracked when it redirected me to gay jeans. I was then led to G-Star Raw and got the cutest pair of gay jeans ever! You should see them, they give my butt lift, it looks AMAZING. Anyways, sorry, I have the "Off on a tangent" gene as well, and sometimes, well, yeah...
The whole point of that last spiel was to make you realize that that you are a nincompoop. Yes, that is a real word. You can find anything on google. There are many more articles, a 10-1 ratio easy, that talk about the discovery of sexuality genetics. Honestly, do you think that we would choose to live this horrendous and oppressed lifestyle of shopping, sexuality, fabulousness, dancing, cocktails, style and fashion? No absolutely not! :-)
In all seriousness, you keep sitting there. Dig in for this fight. This new world that we are branching into where people are free to love one another might be moving to fast for you. I would not want you to get hurt in the process. We have to protect such antiquities as yourself. After all, you are a rare and dying breed. Now what is your home address, I wanna come over and sodomize your dad/brother/husband(eh, probably not), son...Much love, whether you want it or not...

Still waiting on my new friends response. :-)
