Yet another "anti-gay" preacher busted for sex with "boys."

What makes this guy interesting to me is his deliberate adherence to the law. I actually support him, at least so far as he should not be prosecuted. His accusers, one of whom revealed all only after being caught burglarizing the mega-church, do not claim any underage sex - only that he engaged in relationships with them when they were underage and became sexual when they were of legal age to consent. I think the dude is like 40 or 50, married with kids, but ... oddly I don't think he should face legal prosecution. If you prosecute him, then any time you interact with someone legally (with or without intent?) and later, when it is legal to have sexual relations, you engage in such - you could be sued for having "set it up" when they were minors!? Bizarre.

However, teachers and preachers do seem like they should be held to a higher standard. You're really not supposed to snog and bang people you're raising. I mean it's nice to know some of those staff _really care_ but uh...wow.

This weekend I encouraged a mother to send her child to catholic school. She had been, and nearly laser-eyed me with death at the very suggestion, but I explained:
"I've been with a lot of catholic educated people, and their kinks are fairly standard. Even from my vicarious experience, guilt is hot and the skirts get a rise. We all know it's a horrible experience full of cruel treatment and unfair judgment. However, you know what fetishes they'll have. Think about it, hippie mom, do you really want to have your kids developing fetishes that are outside the mainstream? Isn't it worth all the suffering just to be a little into skirts and bondage, with occasional sides of guilt-ridden consensual humiliation? You want your kids to be trolling the internet for Japanese and German issues they share? Just allow the abuse so they will be within normal dysfunctional parameters!"

I worked all weekend but I have some great products and I'll be taking time off soon. I'm confused why only 13 hours comp made me so tired all at once.

You know how boring I am? I got all interested in the "new" way to adjust your rear view mirrors to avoid having a blind spot at all!

Get a college degree. This is important.
Don't tell me it's too expensive, or won't make you enough to pay for it, or that you're in a field that doesn't need it. Don't rant about the system and how you're not buying into it, how those that do are sellouts, or how it's just another way of stratifying socioeconomic classes.
I have a whole new reason to get a degree. Everyone who does not is a raging bag of insecurity.

Why? Oh, well I'll tell you. ONCE AGAIN this weekend I found myself involuntarily stuck in a conversation with someone who was doing very well in their life and seemed perfectly well adjusted, that, until she started railing about how she didn't have a degree "but made more than her friends that did." I agreed with her. She ranted again. I told her I didn't think money was a good measure of success anyway. She re-told her pride about her life despite her no-college. And then again. Oh dear god...I cannot count, or have not bothered to count, the number of raving lunatics who CARE FAR MORE THAN I DO that they don't have a college degree.
Do you know how I know they care that they don't have a college degree?
They won't shut up about how much they don't care or are proud of their not-degree.
Privacy issues? Why do they always revolve around who you fuck, how many, whose taken friend you fucked, the related stds, and lack of college. Those seem to be the key issues. Sex and college.
Sex and college are also very related if you live on campus.

So get a college degree. Get it now.
Get any college degree. Get it online. Get it from McU. Get it from community college!
You don't have to use it. You don't have to brag about it. You can wipe your ass with it. You can even lie about it, what it was in, your gpa...just for the love of yourself get a college degree. Only having a college degree releases you from the lifetime of raging oral insecurity you'll bleed over drunken conversations for the rest of your life as you fight the nonexistent army of people judging you for not having a college degree.

Oh - but if you genuinely can't get a college degree; remember, even a PhD in "Theology" is available to anyone - even those without standard accredited college degrees. You can be Dr. SoNso and just always hide the fact it's in reverendology. Just don't be like all the others not-a-doctors (you know, like lawyers who make up bizarre titles to pretend their more important than people with MBAs, esq.) who spend their time trumpeting their title as "Dr."

This weekend I saw a square chocolate cake with a round hole.

Warning - much intentionally offensive commentary follows. It's racist and phobic while highly sexual - dive in!

I'm having my gay movies for straight people party!
I just bought JEFFEREY off ebay. I have a horrible dub of private idaho, and real versions of priscilla, and but I'm a cheerleader.
I also have the first 5 seasons of the simpsons, KITH, and the powerpuff girls.
I don't know when it's going to be, but it's going to be.
Maybe not all at once. I may do 2 "parties" of 2 movies each.
Then the requisite olive oil twister in the living room. Please shower_before_ coming over (this means you, lesbians).

I thought Vonnegut was black.
Billy Pilgrim: Vonnegut, unstuck in time
Robert Pilgrim: Son
Scott Pilgrim: Comic/movie

I don't have any black friends.
And so on.

As much as I make fun of people that "have black friends," I don't really have any. I mean, I am exposed to mainstream "urban" culture through television (I still think Chapelle's show is funny, might as well watch living color), I know -very comfortably- black people of the african-amer persuasion at work (but at work - haven't been to their houses nor they mine, which is a cut off for friend vs. maybe-friend lots of the time), and frankly while I have some black friends they're all kind of Benetton and/or gay. My black friends have lots of, LOTS OF, white friends. So they don't count.

I've only dated 2 black people I can think of, one male, one female. That's downright shameful. How is this possible so close to DC? I'm so white I have guilt.

At a party this weekend there were hot gay guys. I have a girl, but the idea of talking to hot gay guys was kinda cool so I sort of tried to mingle. Maybe my white-guilt bleeds over to bi-guilt too. I was introduced to the roommate as gay, well not gay, well bi, which led to the usual spiel of boring predictable bi-light, or experimented in college but still use it as fap material, or lack of decent opportunity, or whatever I am supposed to be litany of explanations ... and he looked as bored as I felt going through the conversational motions. I tried to talk to the group o' gay guys, but they were all talking about their social issues and people they knew (like we all do) so I just drifted off. I talk about Nellies all the time but have never been there. I have never been to town on a gay night. I have been to the fireplace but made out with a girl there (but she was gay) (and her girlfriend) (and a guy) (it was quite an evening). I've only been to the emerald chandelier for bound.

It fucking sucks being a bi male. Or whatever I am.
See, I've sexed men. I admit I've sexed men. More than man, men. By hetero standards the first time dick entered my mouth I was FAG. No matter how many girls I sleep with or how poorly I treat them (a hetero boasting point) I am a FAG for life. There is no place for me in hetero male society - half the girls are creeped out by me, and all men KNOW that I am forever a FAG.
I tried to find a video of Chris August doing his FAG slam poem but can't find that one, even at queer slam.

But I'm not gay. I don't have gay friends (or, my gay friends have lots of straight friends so they don't count, just like blacks). It's often kind of mildly embarrassing to talk to gay guys, who have gone through all the torment I have over identity and acceptance - only they were full time faggots and dive into full blown gay culture (and whine about it incessantly). Gay men bitch about how hard it is to land a straight acting guy and roll their eyes at twinks - and I love twinks. I'm pretty sure to most fags I'm just some kid who experimented in college, then grad school, then post grad, then with my roommate and a few of his boyfriends...and may be ok as a political ally or theoretical construct, but nobody you really want to spend time with.

I don't actually care about any of this, not really, but once in a while it's worth pointing out that for all my comfort, I'm kind of ostracized by my refusal to play into a more popular roles I mostly fit. I do notice race and it does count, but I kind of not-care but I kind of do-care. Huh.
Fin.
