Thought for the Day!!

I always hate it when someone tells you; "Life is like a bowl of cherries" or "Life is like a box of chocolates." I want to brain the guy who introduced that last one into our national consciousness. So don't hate me when i tell you; "Life is really like a chess game." You have pieces of your life set at different priorities that you try to advance but there is always some asshole trying to stop you. The key to going down a winner is not to stop when they want you too, not to stay and play to long, and to make sure that when the endgame comes ... you are the one in control.

Second Pride

I have spent last week setting up my gallery at Second Pride. It has been really exciting. Then I have been visiting the shops of the other vendors, looking at the exhibits and of course partying with the rest of my proud family. It has brought back to mind a lot of memories and reasons for why I am who I am. I have spent many years fighting others (family mostly) about my lifestyle. Living in a world where i face possible discrimation and having to face the fact that I do not have equal rights as others. But yet I wake up every morning, put my pants on the same as everyone else and am proud of who and what I am. Is it easy? Often it is not. I have MSNBC as my default on my web browser and when i opened my laptop this morning I was faced with the news that the State of California Supreme Court upheld the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Another day in the life of a gay man :( I will continue to be proud and will not give up the fight...for somehow, someday, & somewhere we will all be equal!!

Put together a little youtube video to show off the stuff. Hope that you like it. More to come soon so stay tuned....huggs Clint
