  • RIP

    to live in a world where michael jackson can be found only through his works of art is something i'm not prepared for. not that i would have prepped for such a passing or would even know how to, but this fast and sudden shock is very alien. of course i never knew the man. i had no opinion on any of his legal entanglements, though i hoped things weren't as dismal and treacherous as the media portrayed. and of his works i own a few. despite this lack of a personal connection to the man, there is a lot to be said when one of the world's pop culture icons has his curtain called before his last number.

    i remember listening to billy jean on the radio back in the day. it was one of the if not the very first song that i remembered from my 80s childhood. listening to it was like hearing nothing i've ever heard. yesterday i called my mother and the first thing we talked about was that song and when we heard it in our living room in our tiny 1 bedroom apartment. instantly transported to that moment in time, i can still recall my amazement...

    and now one can hear his songs playing in memoriam, for an artist who more than likely had more to say. whatever his demons or his angels were, hopefully they've come to pass and he is now at rest, humbled with a posthumous knowledge that his words and moves changed the world and defined a generation.

    to mourn one isn't necessarily to ignore the others who have passed. it's just that i knew more of one over those other stars fated to pass early. my heart does go out to their families.

    despite the use of untimely and early when it comes to one's passing, may theirs be a reminder that tomorrow is not guaranteed and that today is a present. make use of it and love your loved ones.

    as for me..."i'm starting with the man in the mirror...i'm asking him to change his ways..."

  • Summer 2009

    to say that my life has changed since i last wrote would be the understatement of the year! from one chapter to the next i find myself involved in the a semi-romantic comedy mixed with fun gay reality-series drama and a dash of too good to be true sci-fi fantasy for safe measure. as i write, there is no other place or time i would rather in.

    it is only fitting that the summer serves as the impetus for my return or attempts of a return to this blogosphere, having traversed the twitterverse across the facebook galaxy. my heart is still xangaian. this season over most in the southland marks a year of love, of life-long friendships, and of course licentious libations!

    where to begin with my love life... the passage of prop 8 and the subsequent ruling that upheld it has not only served as a motivating force for getting involved in its protest for me and my friends but also holds a special place in my life having been engaged. while the fate of our equality is still not settled, jeffrey and i remain committed to the notion that we will have a wedding in the state of CA. for the time being, we are on course with our plans that need to take place prior to our nuptials. as my fingers gracefully find their marks over these keys, i'm sitting in our new digs, an upgrade from that past that not only means a new address but also connotes a new way of living. gone are the days of me and my and mine. now it's all about us, and our, and we. decisions from what color schemes to furniture arrangements to the responsibilities of our utilities are now made by both of us. together, we set the pace, we determine our future. one would think that the onset of all this joint decision-making would have hampered the haze of early love; on the contrary, it has cemented it evermore. this new chapter will, indeed, be exciting as it is unknown. i'm certain, however, that the two of us will write each passage well.

    when it comes to balancing my life shared with jeffrey, i have but to turn to my friends for that. a year of support during a time of need has helped develop the friendships shared not just over drinks but over good times and bad. much like the most worthy of things that survive the crucible, those with the best intentions for all will always prevail and remain truest of my friends. without them i'm not sure who i'd be or where i'd be; they have heartfully helped me become the person i am today and in the place in which i find myself, namely happy and honored.

    and of course the summer tends to equal endless parties! from LA pride to SF pride to just random hot days in which to enjoy the southern climes, the summer will always signal a time for merriment. i guess it's just the sun that makes everyone so happy and so thirsty! and who am i to complain? i'll just take my ketel extra chilled thank you very much!

    for now, that is what is going on. to get a better sense of my status one can always follow my twitter or stalk me on facebook. i'll make an earnest effort at updating here with time willing.

    night night!
