Craigslist gone mad

Hey gays,

All the craigslist killings, robbings and such is going through the roof. What started out as a really good idea has gotten seedy. Even if you try and rent an apartment there is plenty a scam artist looking to steal your money.

Now we have the "Craigslist Killer" .

The one thing that I've noticed through all the media coverage and interviews with friends, etc. is how often he is referred to as "clean". "He's Clean cut, I can't believe it, he's so neat and clean". It almost makes it seem as if you have to be dirty and unkempt to be a killer..I think people forget that clean white people commit crimes just as much as messy and dirty people do, maybe even more.

The other thing I noticed is that there have been many instances over the years with people being killed, hurt and attacked from using craigslist like the kid last year that was lured by a group of guys to a parking lot to have sex and he was hit by a car trying to get away from them attacking him but that barely got any national press, could it be because he was black and gay....


It seems that craigslist has lost a handle on what it was meant for because they really do not have any rules. I'm not sure if they could curb whats going on lately because during a bad economy sex sells...The site has no control over what people are going to do and I hope people start thinking twice about meeting up with strangers alone for services...It's a no win situation it seems....

Imagining me

Hey gays,

Last night I went to see a show "Araby" composed by my friend Chris Rael. The show is fabulous and the music
is touching. He sets the story to The Dubliners by Joyce but it's about his relationship with his father who died in a tragic accident.

He talked of his father giving up on his dreams or setting them aside for the life he had but he was unhappy. There were a lot of similarities in the show to my father, well I don't even know what my fathers dreams were. He is really vacant and doesn't talk much about his feelings.

The whole thing is I was thinking that in my show that I make my mother kind of a tyrant. I'm wondering if it is too harsh on her, i don't know I'm just thinking I'm doing the wrong thing at the moment. I do wrap the show up on a positive note because I'm fine with my mother now for the most part.

I hate whenever I see some one's show I start questioning myself and my writing. I'm always happy to experience other people's art and I learn from it and this show was really touching. I hope mine is a little bit...

An uphill battle

Hey gays,

Today I weigh in at 220 pounds, not my heaviest weight, I've been 235 before.

The thing is for my next show I gotta get down to what I call "Judy" weight. When I was impersonating Judy on a regular basis I weighed between 180-200 possibly 210 at the most. Its not easy to fit into a form fitting outfit like she wore but I have to do it this time because i want to have a fabulous costume. A lot of a performance has to do with the costume I feel, always have. I want to have something fierce this time that when you look at it it screams Judy.

So today started the journey to trim down. 45 minutes on the treadmill today and yesterday and i want to start playing tennis again. Now the rough part starts, no more chips and limited snacks, i do love a dorito...LOL

I'm going to start taking some pictures of my body to see what happens....

wish me luck....

What the fuckles?

Hey gays,

What is up with WeTV and all the freaktacular shows. Little miss perfect and the scary male host that sings of citrus colored rainbows to little girls with a woman judge who calls herself Miss South Africa USA, whatever that means. Her lips are bigger than her ego...

Now we have another strange man saying he wants to save fat people lives. I haven't seen the show yet but I gotta see this. This guy seems like a jackass....

I gotta go eat a whole pizza and 2 liters of soda and pass out in my fat.....

Waiting

hey gays,

A while back I talked about a show that I was writing and I finished the first rough draft or the first final draft, I guess I'll call it. About the same time I finished there was a festival coming up and also Pride stage so I decided to submit to both. The Pride stage theme is paint the town ruby seeing it the 40Th anniversary of Stonewall and I thought that doing a piece of my show "For the love of Judy" would be perfect.

I always hate submitting my stuff to festivals and events because I usually get rejected, though I did get chosen for "Gay life expo" last year. Now I'm waiting to hear back. I know in my mind these things are all political and about having the right exposure, its not always about the work itself but in my heart I feel like crap when I don't get chosen.

In the end I'll just do the show on my own but I guess its the support of your peers that mean something , a stranger reading your work and thinking its worthy of being seen and heard...

Now I'm waiting
