Crush You
It does seem strange that in my adult life I still develop crushes on those I could never have. And yet, deep down my insides curve and flex to stimulate a feeling of ...satisfaction. Do not sleep, I tell my heart, stay awake and taste the morning sun. Yes tragic and mello, subtle and delicious but truth be told...morning woodies are sensational!
When Drag Queens Attack!
I've said this before and I'll say it again...don't mess with a drag queen!
It's official: People are Fucking Nuts!
Tap on the head and some werido can make you str8?
According to Pat Robertson, God is using superhighway I-35 that runs from Canada to Mexico through the midwest to purify America from sin. He says "I-35 is the highway spoken of in Isaiah 35:8 - "And a highway will be there; it will be called the way of holiness."
Are people this fucking bored?

Botox me Over
Now before you judge let me say this: NO REGRETS!For years now when I woke up the guy staring back at me in the mirror wasn't a familiar face. He was tired, worn and angry looking. On the inside, he was full of energy and high spirited. So when I met with my cosmetic surgeon I told her this. I wasn't looking to take 10 years off my face...I was looking for a fresh start. I got that and then some!
We talked about life experience and even though I had a chalk full of lessons learned, it were these lessons that sat on my face. The next day, around 5pm I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror...my old friend Frank was back and better than ever. It was a moment that seemed to healed the last couple of years. The guy staring back was still 30 years old but he was refreshed and this is what made me smile.
For those of you out there who are thinking about Botox I have this advice for you all:
1) Think about it...why do you want it? If you're 30 and want to look 18 it's not going to happen. Don't run from age...but you can kick the signs of age in the nuts!
2) Do your homework. Know what you're getting and find a doctor who will answer your questions. Again, I love my doctor. She and I sat down and talked. I told her that I didn't want to look 'frozen' (I actually still have movement in my forehead). I wanted to look rested and refreshed.
3) Know that Botox is not permanent but with time it will prevent further damage.
4) Do it...you'll love it! No need to get carried away but a little does go a long way!

Going out on a bad date can feel like gas. The annoyance of his voice churns a moarnful fit of rage but I try to sit and remain calm. 'Is it me?' I wonder over my steaming cup of grande bold, 'have I lost the patience to meet someone new?' as I gently rubbed my temples. Yes self-doubt at 30 years old does require the occasional tweeking. 'It's not my fault' I tell myself on my way to the subway after I recieved probably one of the most toothy kisses of my life, 'It's him' but deep down I don't believe in what I'm saying.
In the grand scheme called dating as a gay man, pit falls such as this one triggers the notion that happy endings are meant for fictional stories. Is this a pessimisstic indignation or have I read one too many love stories?
A friend, myself or my mother will encourage the optimissism that the love I require takes more work than a few strokes on a keyboard. But sometimes, it feels like there's a greater chance of surviving a hurricane in a tube-top than to find the right guy for me.
So this pity party for one observes a reaction of thought; perhaps it's an attitude adjustment that I require or at the very least I will not meet guys online after a half bottle of wine.

Queer Fear - Gay Life, Gay Death in Iraq
Short documentary alerts the viewer to systematic harassment and murder of gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people in Iraq
Meat
Dir. Slava Ross / Russia / 2002
Times are hard for single mothers. But there are things young boys don't want to know. A tremendously touching drama about growing up in 20th century Russia.

A real actor...a sexy actor...a real man...WOW
Jesus made Me do it!
I have writer's block but it feels more like constipation. A block deep in the pit of my stomach...something needs to come out. Holy Hell it needs to come out.
Each word that sits in my head grinds against the walls of my skull. Slowly they reveal themselves but it's few...like a rabbit pellet. What I need right now is a medimusal for the brain.
This is what writer's block feels like...a log caught in a river's bend, preventing movement...annoyingly painful.
There is a surge of optimism though...like life eventually my head will the get fist fuck it needs and everything will be ok.

No Exit Life on Emerson Ave
I tell myself that this is all but a dream...in my real existence this is just the beginning. The dedication and determination drives me further...I can't stop.
So what the hell am I talking about?
It's about accomplishing a dream. Working through the writer's block and seeing the road ahead. No matter what.
All of this, the website(s), the countless hours spent during the editing/revisions stages....it's all worth it. The lack of sleep will pay off, I tell myself, not to mention the worry. Inside, I know this will happen but what is uncertain is the butterfly effect it will cause. What kind of ripple would I like to achieve? I want an earthquake.
Why do something if no one notices?
I don't believe in standing out for the sake of standing out. My voice, my words, I hope will change your way of thinking. I've been influenced by the best. Madonna, Douglas Coupland, Alex Sanchez, Sol Stein and Virginia Woolf - They've inspired me to never settle for the best but to exceed my personal expectations. Leave out the horns and whistles (this I'll gladly pass to useless talent) and focus on what I am good at...this.
I am designed to evolve, like you but choose to step forward and move to a higher ground. To push forward does have it's consequences but I assure you it's an amazing ride.

Midnight Moment
Clustered
Romantic
I'm losing myself
Congested
the traffic
can't think on the spot
Where are the answers
for the secrets to life
I edit
and panic
will writer's block come to an end?

Gay Parenting is more than Queers searching for Approval
Let me first say, I'm a fan of Fab Magazine, a Toronto based gay scene magazine. But the current issue made my skin crawl. As a proud gay man one of my goals is to one day be a father through adoption. In this issue, writter Ted Flett, compares the wants of the gay community from past to present. It's seems, according to Ted, it seems gay men are only concerned with Sex, Drugs and Dancefloors.
If for a moment, just a second, let me tell you want I want:
Are you ready? It won't take long. I want happiness. In order to be happy I want my dreams to come true. One of these dreams is having a family of my own.
According to Ted, there are still gay men out there who feel that those from our community who want a family are breeder wanna-bes.
If this is true and that gay men think this way I can only say this: Queer as Folk ended years ago and with it went the chidish attitudes!
When will gay guys grow into a men? Oh my...I said the 'M' word. But you know...it does happen and the good news is Life still goes on.
Instead of competing with 18-year-olds, how about accomplishing other goals in ones life. I'm not saying give up the club life completely all I'm saying is that there's a whole world to enjoy.

It's a wonderful life
in the sunshine
I think of him
the man
one day
make him smile
searching is tough
bless the friends inside my circle
I need a friend, they make me happy
I'm not alone
I'd trade this sunshine
and the smell of musk
show your face
I can't take this
on my own
my wonderful life
he's in the shadow
maybe waiting for me
maybe not
I'm standing here
on my own
I smile
fake induced
but I smile
until you're here
with me
love
my love
love of my life
until then
my prince
I wish you...
a wonderful life.

At You
Has this ever happened to you:
You're with your friends they've been yapping for at least a good 20 minutes when it hits you...you haven't said a single word to encourage this so called conversation to linger as long as it has?
When it's my turn to jump in I see this glaze in their eyes, a vacant expression which tells me: It's not about Frank...it's about them.
So I'm training myself to have that vacant expression. It's not working though because they won't shut up.
Just a thought...don't talk at me...talk to me...if you don't know what I'm talking about ask me.

Boys Beware . 1959 Anti Homosexual Film
A short film about the "homosexual" sickness...it's so stupid I had to post it. What's really disturbing is that stuff like this was actually taught in school instead of english class.
What I've been up to
It's 2:51AM and I'm working on my revisions. What can I say? Life on Emerson Ave (my novel out summer 2008) has adapted to change as I have.
OH! Before I forget, let me tell you about lunch with my editor! Once she saw my Life on Emerson Archive we both came to a practical conclusion that one book just wouldn't do but an entire series! Starting in 2008, the first of three books will be released! WOOT! Stay tuned for more info.
Finally, it may seem as though I've neglected www.noexit.ca or www.lifeonemersonave.com but rest assured, I haven't. I'm working on a GLBT Archive/Library as well as a music video channel on Youtube.com. Both projects will be on my sites. But I can't say more.

#1 Crush
I have a secret to tell you but I need you to promise me that it'll always be kept between me and you.
Do you promise?
Pinky swear,
Good.
A crush isn't a guarantee for romance, infact it's nothing at all except a fantasy one plays out. It's a cruel game. But sometimes, every once in a while a crush can turn into romance.
It's not safe
still no guarantees
but the sex is awesome
Is it right?
Is it real?
Does it matter?

The truth of Life on Emerson Ave
The truth is like an open answer to an abstract question. Sometimes we're left with more questions and other times we stop dead in our tracks.Ask and you shall recieve, Jesus what a thrilling statement or would be a question? You'll get what you want and sometimes what you deserve. They say it's better to know than to be always left wondering. I say, know the consequences before making a choice.- Rocco
