Time for Change

It’s so tempting to run away
I’m so ready to leave
What’s holding me back?
Nothing to do with it, there’s nothing attached

I don’t know where I’m going
but I have to go soon
and I don’t know what I’m doing
but I can’t keep looking for you

Untitled

The horizon is changing,
but I stay the same.
I’ve tried to be perfect…
I am naught, but shame.

I’ve loved you too deeply.
I loved you too true.
You’ve led me so darkly
and I played your fool.

So, I’m not the one.
I’m not your valiant dream.
I have come undone.
I hardly silence the scream.

The horizon is bleeding
and I feel the pain.
I know I’m not perfect,
but I didn’t know I was so…
unworthy of you.

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now.

Here's a joke that made me snicker.

Two Rednecks, Jim and Dave, are sitting at their favorite bar, drinking beer. Jim turns to Dave and says, “You know, I’m tired of going through life without an education. Tomorrow I think I’ll go to the Community College and sign up for some
classes.” Dave thinks it’s a good idea, and the two leave.

The next day, Jim goes down to the college and meets the Dean of Admissions, who signs him up for the four basic classes: Math, English, history, and Logic.

“Logic?” Jim says. ”What’s that?”

The dean says, “I’ll give you an example. Do you own a weed eater?” “Yeah.” “Then logically speaking, because you own a weed eater, I think that you would have a yard.”

“That’s true, I do have a yard.” “I’m not done,” the dean says, “Because you have a yard, I think logically that you would have a house.”

“Yes, I do have a house.” “And because you have a house, I think that you might logically have a family.”

“Yes, I have a family. “I’m not done yet. Because you have a family, then logically you must have a wife. And because you have a wife, then logic tells me you must be a heterosexual.”

“I am a heterosexual. That’s amazing, you were able to find out all of that because I have a weed eater.” Excited to take the class now,

Jim shakes the Dean’s hand and leaves to go meet Dave at the bar.

He tells Dave about his classes, how he is signed up for Math, English, History, and Logic.

“Logic?” Dave says, “What’s that?” Jim says, “I’ll give you an example. Do you have a weed eater?” “No.”

“Then you’re a queer

I wrote this a while ago, back when Prop 8 was passed. It seems relevant again... what, with the raid at Eagle Atlanta and the refreshed ferosity of the LGBTQ Community. Just what we needed to get the ball rolling on Equality.

Villainy’s Path to Higher Comprehension

Oh, thine fickle nature.  How it has grazed my torment.

Thou hast taken hold of me and of mine soul, and thou hast led me unto darkness.

What have I done to offend thine pleasure and cause such indifference?  Have I angered thine desire, so to cause such ill reaction?

Like a pebble tossed aside with thoughtless apathy, thus is mine heart.

I muse upon these questions and thine dealings with ever growing curiosity.  The phenomenon of our meet seemed to be the summit of mine intervention.  This shroud of empty questing is fading, finally to be replaced with the verity of mine own purpose.

I am not he who is with erroneous intention.

It is thee…

This radiance that doth gleam above me also enters into my being and draws me to recovered confidence.

I owe thee immense gratitude for thine role in this, my refreshed acuity.

This is great. For all of you Super-Christians... Look at your own morality before you impose it upon me.

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination… End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is, my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath.Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle- room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan.

To whom it may concern, I just want to address the recent “Civil War” that is taking place in the latest, in decades worth of Civil RIGHTS battles fought not only by us, the LGBTQ community, but by every single culture on this planet. When will it occur to you that it takes UNITY to win a battle? It takes all of us to share one SINGLE goal. We fight for EQUALITY. We stand up for our LOVE and the “right” to express it just like everyone else. I think it is counter-productive to our cause to fight against the ones who are fighting for us. Sure, one may have offended another with their tactic, but it was merely that, a tactic designed to get a rise. I’m gay, I have my own sad story to go along with it, but I hold myself together with the knowledge that I am alive today. I love who I am and I thank my past for getting me here. To assume that someone “does not understand the deep hatred (the word faggot) conveys firsthand” is asinine at best. Everyone has their “relative” slur, but they are just words. Words as weapons receive their power from the person that they are used against. The best way to stop people from using a weapon is to take the power away from it. I am free of that emotional battle because I took the power away from the weapon. We have to stick together. We have to be one. We have to keep the ones who are brave enough to fight beside us close. We have to win. Above all, we have to stay focused on changing THE necessary minds in our favor. If the ones who need convincing see our internal struggle, they will not take us seriously. I have been observing lately and I am saddened by what I see. If we have the same goal, we are not enemies. Mathew Lovell mathew.lovell@gmail.com
