- Need a Chibi Artist for a Medium-scale Commission
As I finish drawing out the last few design templates for my website, I have finalized something that I need to complete the design: a chibi version of myself. I intend to use it for a few areas of the site that need a bit of illustration. I also intend to use it as a [...]

- I Love ABBA (the Band), I Hate ABBA (the Business)
I have to tell you that I do love ABBA when it comes to their music and ABBA is one of the staples in my music collection. I mean, they do not have just one or two hits that I really do enjoy (like Steve Perry) but they produce a lot of songs that evoke [...]

- Happy Halloween!
Today is Halloween and it is one of my favourite holidays of the year other than the Solstice and Thanksgiving. When I was a little kid, I used to enjoy dressing up and going out to get candy – which is something my sister and I were so severely deprived of. This holiday was taken [...]

- In Order to Lose Weight; I Need Power Yoga!
Dear readers, I want to tell you a little something about me that most people do not know, I have always been fat. By always, I mean that I have been fat ever since I was around 9 or 10. I currently weigh about 213 pounds and I want to finally be slim but I [...]

- Here’s a News Flash NARTH: Reparative Therapy Does Not Work!
I just got an e-mail today from NARTH, an organization that has the psychotic belief that gay people can be “cured”. Based on a rigorous review of 83 studies conducted between 1960 and 2007, the APA advised psychologists to avoid telling their clients that therapy or other treatments can change them from gay to straight.Based [...]

- The iPad: Seriously, What the Fuck?
When I said that I wanted Apple to release a tablet Macintosh, I meant something running Mac OS X, or at least capable of running OS X and all of my OS X applications (i.e. Photoshop, CSSEdit, Transmit, Firefox, etc). I did not mean something with the watered down iPod/iPhone OS which only allows you [...]

- How the Pokemon Company Just Sold Me a Nintendo DS
Well, I may very well be a little late to the party but Nintendo definitely did just sell me a Nintendo DS when the Pokemon team announced the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver in Japan. They intend to release these versions here in the United States in Spring 2010 and I am going to have [...]

- My Take on Twitter’s New RT Feature
Last night after I got back from my date with Ken, I noticed something very awesome on my Twitter account, I got the new RT feature and I can now RT on the website and select clients with this new feature. While there are many things about this feature which make me feel positively about [...]

- Adventures in Linux Day 2: Row, Row, Row Your Mouse, Gently Down the Screen
(Editor’s Note: Please understand, when I say “this morning”, “today”, etc. – I am referring to yesterday, when all this shit went down. When I say “yesterday”, I mean Monday, the 26th of October)
This morning, my beloved Samara woke me up with a kiss and some good news – when she woke up last night, [...]- 26.Oct
- Adventures in Linux: Day 1 – Attempting to Find a Working Distro
Today, my beloved Samara and I tried to install a couple of flavors of Linux onto my old Apple iBook G4. It is currently running Tiger with a minimum of fuss, so I should assume (quite rightly) that it can handle most modern GUIs and installs of Linux. Unfortunately, as I type this, I am [...]

- The Importance of an Old Passport
Passports are not just identity documents but rather, they are much more than that. They have a record of every time we have left our country and went somewhere else in the world, a record that allows to flip through the visa pages of the passport and reminisce about all of our journeys throughout our [...]

- Why Proper ID Cards Are Very Important
Today, I read an article that someone posted a link to on Facebook and it talked about the Republican candidate for Secretary of State, Paul Scott, and how he wants to create a legal barrier for transsexuals to get proper identity documents. This is a very sad thing considering that identity documents are a very [...]

- Why Being a Straight Transsexual Woman Sucks!
I am going to clarify right now that I do not think that being a transsexual woman in and of itself sucks because I am proud to be a transsexual woman. I am merely stating that it sucks to be a transsexual woman whom is attracted to men, basically a straight transsexual woman. I am [...]

- The Dynamics of Dating Men as a Transsexual Woman
I can honestly tell you that dating as a transsexual woman is fairly difficult, especially when you are trying to find someone who wants you for who you are instead of seeing you as some sort of fetish. And yes, I want someone who actually wants me for me simply because of the fact that [...]

- A 6-Year-Old Pervert?
One thing that I get called by believers who think that they are doing a “favor” for me by trying to save my soul for Christ is a “pervert”. They do this because of the fact that they want to create, continue and substantiate the stigma associated with being anything that is remotely associated with [...]

A preface from the author: I have turned comments and trackbacks off on this post for a particular reason – the fact that this is a very serious subject that I have been wrestling with all of my life. It may very well be a contributing factor to why I am so anti-social, it may [...]

- If You Are Interested in Me, Sell Yourself Damn It!
Whenever I post a personals ad on any website, I can tell you honestly that I get a lot of vapid responses from ignorant people. Most of these are one line responses from people who are not truly interested in an actual relationship and do not find me valuable enough to actually try to win [...]

- I Remember My First Time: Travelling on the Road
Today, I was waiting for a friend at the LGBT Community Centre of Colorado and I was reading a copy of Out Traveller on the coffee table behind the reception desk. There was an article by the president of W Hotels, stating that he remembers the road trips that he took with his father and [...]

- 2009 Was a Great Year And 2010 Will Be Better!
As we close the chapter on 2009 and move on to 2010, I would like to recap on some of my personal victories that happened in 2009. In my personal opinion, even though some pretty awful things happened in 2009 and it started out pretty badly, a few great moments made all of the difference [...]

- Accountability in Our Wrongdoings
Today, I had attempted to scam an innocent man out of something that he legitimately purchased from me online and he called me on it. We had a long discussion and at first, I was just trying to figure out how to resolve it so as to make this go away, as he had threatened [...]

Do you remember Johnathan Boyd of Westminster, CO, the most recent Douchebag in Heat to grace the hallowed halls of that section of my website? Well, he has decided to contact me in an effort to get me to remove his entry from my website and has promised to do anything for me to try [...]

- Dear Microsoft, Centre Is the Correct Spelling – Now Fuck Off
Dear Microsoft,
I really appreciate how you have integrated spell check features into your popular word processing programme, which has recently come under fire due to your shitty business practices, but I must ask you to stop underlining words such as colour, programme, neighbour, centre and other such correct spellings. Yes, I am very aware that [...]- 21.Dec

If you run a blog, you likely have people that comment on your blog and many times, they have an opinion that differs from your own. If someone posts an opinion that differs from mine, here is what I do on my blog – as long as it is respectful with no insults, affiliate looking [...]

I bet you have been wondering what the hell has been going on with this blog and it’s design, no? No? Well, I don’t care about your redesign either, so there! ;-P Well, I have found a theme that would work as a much better base for this redesign than P2 would, so there has [...]

- The Adventures are Now Read by TV Guide and our Troops
I don’t make any secret of running statistics software to figure out who visits my site – in fact, it’s something I like to do every morning to wake up and check the statistics, unique google terms that are used to find my site and domains that look interesting. Well, today when I was checking [...]
