Well Done Barack

2008-08-29T11:44:06Z

I knew this election year was going to be different. I knew something needed to be different. Let me just say I’ve been a proud Hillary supporter through all of this and just like many of those who were devastated when she didn’t win the nomin...

A Gay Ole Time

2008-08-28T00:42:21Z

I’ve been gay and out for about 12 years. It’s interesting to see how life has changed for gays and towards gays during this time. I remember when Ellen came out and it was all anyone could talk about and gays gathered around our tvs and wat...

Six Planes Later and I'm Still Here?!

2008-04-01T02:33:24Z

Dear Minneapolis Airport, I was more than happy to visit your city for a day trip. Even though it's 60 in Chicago for opening day for the Cubs. Sure, Minneapolis, you got a shitload of snow and it hasn't stopped falling since I got here at 8am. ...

In a recent conversation, the topic shifted to instruments and specifically what instruments do you play? I instantly had a panic attack regarding my grade school musical past. In the 2nd grade my parents bought an organ. My mom thought it wo...

THE FAMILY CURSE

2007-03-23T03:51:19Z

Cursing was an interesting topic in my house. My parents both cussed, which is an important distinction in the 70’s. My parents said ass, asshole, shit, damn, hell, son-of-a-bitch and goddamn. They never said ‘bitch’ as a stand alone and never...

The Great Experiment

2007-03-08T03:47:35Z

I love listening to Drex in the morning on KISS-FM. It makes the crawl down Lake Shore Drive a bit more bearable. My favorite calls are from the girls who claim they have experimented with lesbianism. Experimented with lesbianism? What does t...

2007-02-06T21:37:39Z

One of my favorite childhood toys was the infamous Easy Bake Oven. Incidentally, it fetched $4.00 at a garage sale in 1983. I loved that I could make fresh baked brownies with nothing more than a pre-made mix, a splash of water and a 60watt ...
