My Favorite Things

-
Oh yes oh yes. It is December. That wonderful month of giving and receiving gifts. Every year I try to make a wish list and publish it online for my friends. Now. I don't expect anyone to be able to afford half the things I list, but I do put plenty items that are very much affordable. And besides, I'm worth it.

First as I always do, I link my Froogle shopping list. Everyone should make their own. It's fun! My Favorite Things!

Now, outside of that stuff, which I'm sure blew most of you away, I do have necessities. Here's a short list:

  • socks
  • shoes size 12 1/2 preferably black maybe even a pair of boots
  • slacks (khaki, stone, black, gray, brown, green) Email me for the size because I'm too fat to disclose such information. I need jeans too, badly. Black cords are great!
  • T shirts size xxx large. They shrink down to my size. Metal shirts are welcome!
  • pullovers, sweaters all xxx large
  • cash, I need nothing more than cold hard cash. That's what I really want
  • gift cards for those of you that feel giving the gift of green is tacky. Anywhere that sells clothing is perfect. Best buy would be dangerious b/c everything I want from there is upwards of two hundred bucks!

The reason I mostly posted clothes is because when I moved I threw out by mistake 3/4's of my clothes. So be kind. Give the gift of threads.

If I remember something, I will put it in froogle, or I will put it in as a comment. Happy shopping, and remember to enjoy the season despite the stigma not to enjoy it.

For My Friend

I moved to Richmond in September, full of aprehension. Many of you by keeping up with my story know full well the ups and downs that I have faced. I was very fortunate to land a great job in October. After a lot of rejection, and fear for losing everything I started my new job with that same fear I had when I moved to this city. I was crammed in an office with Kelly Stern. He is such a kind, patient, gentle soul. He showed me around and I got comfortable working there really fast. I smile when I remember one of my coworkers talking about us giggling in there all day. I had fun those days. It did not take me long to find out that Kelly was gay. He mentioned living with Jeff, and I put two and two together fast. Kelly listened to my troubles, and gave me sound, firm advice. He has been so helpful to me also by taking me home from work almost every day and taking me by the grocery store to get supplies. I would not still be here if it was not for his help. I cannot think of a way to

The Drowning Death Spiral of Modern Political Debates

There's nothing like a tragic loss of life for people to tout their political beliefs. And it's so much easier in this social media age. As I've noted many times before though, there's a lot less discourse now and a lot more shouting and yelling. The weekend tragedy in Orlando is a sad and depressing example of this showboating. In the midst of evil and intolerance, sides have geared up to discuss the merits of gun control again. Yet I don't really hear a coherent debate. What I hear are two sides screaming about two narratives that don't mesh together at all. Picture two children arguing. One wants a video game and the other one wants to eat. The focus is in two different arenas, food and fun. On one side of the gun debate are people who are strong advocates of constitutional jurisprudence. Passing increased measures to limit a law abiding citizen access to weapons, they believe, will not solve the problem of evil that exists when a bad person obtains o

My Wiiview

You all may be familiar with my Wii saga. Janine told me on my birthday in March that we were going to purchase the console which made me very happy. I figured both of us would be able to enjoy the Wii so it was a better value. Being at least two hundred dollars cheaper than the other new consoles help make that an easy decision too. Little did we know that we were in the midst of trying to find one the most sought after pieces of hardware since Tickle Me Elmo. I remember going to at least 5 stores in March only to find laughter when asked if they had any of these Wiis in stock. The manager of one store even told me that if I get in early enough, there may be two consoles, but I better bring a bat because the soccer moms trying to find them as well may have rabies. So Janine and I pretty much gave up on finding the new Nintendo console until last week when I was shopping for her iPod Nano. Sitting there in the back of the store were three Wiis. So now I have my toy hooked up and after
