Inappropriate Laughter
2008-04-02 15:46:00 Everyone knows everything everyone else does small towns, although they live quite a distance apart. One day, in my best redneck accent (I do voices quite well, and though it’s dead-on, you’ll rarely meet anyone who sounds as inbred as I do when I do it), I quipped, “By God, you could fart at one end o’ th’ county and by the time ya git to th’ other end, ever’body knows what it smelt like!” They died laughing, although they didn’t like that I said “fart.” Good thing they don’t hear some of the other words I say on a regular basis… One of the things I’ve always known is that there are many factions in small towns. There are people who it’s okay to talk to, and there are people who it’s not. That’s kind can get tricky, because quite honestly, I talk to everybody and don’t care about that kind of stuff. Generally, people don’t bo... More About: Laughter
Photography in a Relatively Pure Form
2008-03-27 23:30:00 While on blogitude, we may question and sometimes push the limits on what are is, I have an announcement to make. As part of Maryville, Tennessee’s Last Friday, I will have my first photography show inside Southland Books. The festivities begin at 5:00 and go until the cows are about to come out. So feel free to show yourself for a night of art, music, wine, and cheese. If you can’t make it you can also see my exhibition on flickr.com.

Gay is Born
2008-03-14 03:52:00 I have had gay friends all my adult life. I have been comfortable with homosexuality for a long time. A few things lately have made it clear to me that a lot of people have very little understanding of homosexuality. I want to make a few points clear. People are born gay or straight. Many people grow up hiding their sexuality for various reasons, but the fact that they announce they are gay after they are adults, or even after they have had spouses and children does not change the fact that they were gay when they were born. They don’t get converted or victimized into it. Nor do they choose it. It is a very difficult thing they usually struggle with for years before they admit it. They choose when they call themselves gay, but not when they are gay. This is extremely difficult for many to deal with because it means God created gay people as gay and yet, we are all told God hates homosexuality. To believe people are born gay is to believe that God is a liar or something. What d...
What Does Happy Look Like?
2008-03-10 02:59:00 In response to a message asking, “What does ‘happy’ look like?” I decided to post a photo from earlier today. It looks something like this… …minus the squinty eyes from snow blindness. Nice Snow Angel, huh?

A Change in Perspective
2008-03-08 16:40:00 I’ve gotten some sporadic e-mails and messages wondering where I’ve been the last couple of weeks. I’m simply not telling. The fact is, I needed a change from ridiculous work hours, and really needed to shrug off a lot of the responsibility that’s been bearing down on me. Now, there’s no more dealing with bad checks, fraudulent credit cards, delinquent accounts, support phone calls from customers who can’t figure out time zones or other day-to-day craziness of trying to run a business. The day-to-day harrassment and stress is gone. Things that weren’t working out are beginning to turn around. I’ve completed my first week of work, and found that I actually have time for things again. Being able to enjoy time away from work and BS and drama is a good thing. Being able to spend more time with the Wildcat is an even better thing. I took a Systems Analyst job at a small-town hospital w... More About: Change , Perspective

Monday Melee from Mark for 02/25/2008
2008-02-26 05:13:00 To find out how you too, can participate in The Monday Melee , please read the main Monday Melee page, grab The Monday Melee logo (and view the participant list too). In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight — “Hate Me,” Blue October 1. The Magnificent: Name someone you absolutely adore, and tell us why. Two hundred eleven days, ten hours and forty-two minutes ago, I met someone who made me start getting my shit together. I needed that. 2. The Muddy: Tell us something about life you just don’t “get”. An Order of Protection can keep an unstable person from owning a gun — and if they’ve never owned a gun, or even plan on owning one, it’s sort of a moot point. However, if you’re served with an Order of Eviction, no matter the situation (oh, for the sake of this, let’s say, “Retaliation̶... More About: Mark , 2008
Sweet, Not Bitter
2008-02-21 05:36:00 I’m reluctant to post this, because it’s a little embarrassing and it might ruin my reputation.. But, after passing out ten Rated E for Excellent awards, I ended up getting passed Judy’s (of Sugar Queen’s Dream) “Sweet as Sugar” award, and being paid a tremendous compliment, by that crazy canuck known as Fracas: Now those who might think being a sweetie is reserved for women couldn’t be more wrong. In his day to day life, I happen to know that Mark is a sweetie to not just his lovely woman… but to a whole host of people that look to him for help, advice, friendship and all that good stuff. So Mark… suck this one up. You’re a sweetie and I guess you’ll just have to live with it. Without the quote, it was a little embarassing, however, I understand and appreciate the sentiment. Though I’m a bit of a wildcard at times, and some people might not see it. I’m supposed to pass this on to... More About: Bitter

A Twisted Tuesday… Now for a Warped Wednesday!
2008-02-20 03:11:00 Last night was rough. I didn’t sleep well, thanks to a psychotic cat — an obnoxiously loud cat who constantly whines for food and will not shut up — who insisted that running about the place at full chase and jumping on me with all four sets of claws was a good idea. It so was not… When I did finally wake and venture into the land of the living, it truly seemed that everyone was in a bad mood. Of the thirty-four people who I spoke to today, only four didn’t jump right in the middle of my ass. Thus, I decided to ignore the outside world altogether, come home, write some music and catch up on some coding projects that I’ve been putting off for some time. After getting two sites completed — which were really tough, mind you — the thought crossed my mind that, “Computers are sometimes more forgiving than people.” The third site was just midbogglingly complex. It was simply too m... More About: Tuesday , Wednesday |
