STAND UP / DIVAS
Throw your hands in the air!
Everybody rise,
Gonna put your hands in together tonight
People getting loose ya’ll
Let the tribe give you the juice
I’m talking about bodies movin, not stop groovin
Asses shakin, floors are breakin
Queens are freakin, he’s are creepin,
Divas flowing, everybody knows to
Stand up throw your hands to the sky
Stand up, wo wo, you got to stand up
Stand up throw your hands to the sky
Stand up, wo wo, you got to stand up
Stand up put your hands up high
Stand up put your hands up high
Be free, leave your troubles behind,
Just this the vibe rock in your mind
It’s a better trip than ecstasy, so won’t you get with me
I wanna take you to
Some bodies movin, not stop groovin
Asses shakin, floors are breakin
Queens are freakin, he’s are creepin,
Divas flowing, i got to know how
One of the best dance songs ever…wish I had this to listen to right now…
a post from a while back…dissappointing
i sit here today, unemployed and stagnant…
i have so much to do but i find myself not doing much…vacation or depression? i don’t know.
i went to the museum of natural sciences yesterday with my sister and my niece and nephew and on the way home she asked:
when are you going to write your book?
i was at a loss for words…when? i kept thinking and it seemed like the stars aligned for me to do it now…
so why start a blog? why not put all the energy that this is taking into a book of sorts?
well i figured it would be a great way to keep this nimble mind of mine on task…
we shall see…
Oh…Ella. To have seen you live would have been the ultimate. What person would you want to meet, dead or alive, you ask? Here she is…Miss Ella Fitzgerald.
More scientific evidence for your MOAR COFFEE pleas.
After all it IS Monday….found at Tom Oatmeal.
Good to know…now give me my coffee!! lol
So, what was the best moment I came back with from my trip to San Diego? Was it the beautiful morning sitting on the rooftop patio of our condo? The Pacific sunset on the beach near Mission Bay? The impromptu birthday celebration put together by some amazing softball buddies of mine? These were all great…but not the best. Definitely not the most amazing.
That honor would have to go to finally meeting some members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence!!!! 15 years after first seeing and hearing of them, I finally encountered a few of them outside of Urban Mo’s in the Hillcrest (Homo) area of SD!
I’m usually a shy and reserved kinda guy…but I saw them, SHRIEKED LIKE A BIG GAY BIRD and told my dude to get the camera ready…I’M GONNA TAKE A PICTURE WITH THEM!
“Hey ladies!!” I yelled. “Can I take a pic with you bitches? It’s my birthday and it would be the best birthday present in all my fuckin life!”
Seeing as I was wasted from the shot of Crown and something we had just taken—at midnight to celebrate the beginning of my 33rd year on this “unhappy planet with all the carnivores and the destructors”—I can’t be sure that the dialogue went down as I have thus written…but it was something extremely similar…so you get the point.
I was smiling like the Cheshire…and I hardly ever smile. One, I have crooked teeth. Two, what is there to smile about, really? But coming across members of one of the best organizations in our gay world…I had no choice but to beam and bask in their glory!
Come on…with members who have names like Sister Dinah Might (If You Ask Her Right) and Sister Constance Craving of the Holey Desire…who wouldn’t smile?
Anyhoo…if you’ve never heard of them, check them out here.
From the website: The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence®
is a leading-edge Order of queer nuns. Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We belive all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty and we use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.
Amen, Sisters, amen!!!
Do you need someone to make you a paper badge with the word WRITER on it before you can believe you are one?
On Writing
This past week I finished reading what could very well have been the most important book I have ever and will ever read— On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King.
It was required reading for my Features Writing class and all I can say is THANK YOU MR. McHAM!!
I’d been wanting to read this book for ever and a day but always found myself lacking in time and that is something I should never do again…according to Mr. King.
He writes: “IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO READ, YOU DON’T HAVE THE TIME (OR THE TOOLS) TO WRITE. SIMPLE AS THAT.”
For some reason, this semester seems to be the one where all the stars are lining up towards that push, that click in my head that will finally put me where I need to be. Or, maybe, I am just finally waking up to what I have been sent here to do.
Quien sabe…I just know that I feel better and more knowledgable about putting to paper the thoughts I have always had…I can’t wait to see what come from all this.
You torture and test me but it will never work. I still believe in love……asshole!!
4 plays
Seriously…Miss J.Blige totally stole this song! Bono who? She just hits it to where it hits you right in the heart!!!
