Giving Thanks

This month people have been trying my patience….let me rephrase that, people have been trying my patience more than usual. Nicely put, I’ve been dealing with a bunch of whiny bitches who I want to smack as well as people who are in bad situations that I could have easy found myself in but can’t…

Halloween

In my gay opinion, Halloween is for kids. This year I was thinking back to my childhood and only remember my last Halloween trick or treating.

Weddings And Funerals

Funerals and weddings are my least favorite ways to spend time. I have to dress up in a shirt and tie to attend a formal ritual of zero interest. This month I had a memorial service and wedding within 48 hours of each other, boy am I glad that’s over with. Funerals, memorial services, celebrations…

Birthdays

Celebrating my birthday sucks. I hate all that attention drawn to me and people making a big deal out of something I have zero interest in, like hemorrhoids or looking at baby pictures. I’d rather be alone so I don’t have to “appreciate” the well wishes and pretend like I care. The only time I…
