Senator Kennedy, stop being a pansy

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA, is coming up (hopefully) for a vote in the House and the Senate. ENDA has called for banning employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. In 2003, ENDA defined sexual orientation as homosexuality, bisexuality, and heterosexuality. Recently, Trans advocate groups have partnered up with other Gay Rights [...]

Hard at work

I’ve been working on a couple of projects lately that have kept me pretty busy. I’m not going to announce them just yet, but one will be ready to announce by the end of next week, hopefully.
For anyone just coming to my blog, you’ll soon find out that I’m Trans. I [...]

I have little to say

I received a comment on YouTube for my latest videocast. The comment reads:
Why doesn’t anyone think of the rights of the business owner. If i own a business i have every right to tell anyone they can’t work in my business. Aslong as I own it and don’t ahve government help than who the [...]

I’m appliance challenged

I am a smart person. If there’s one thing I’m confident about, it’s my intelligence. But there are just some things I can’t get my head around. Like appliances. Toasters I’m okay with, blenders I can do, but you put an electric can opener in front of me and a can [...]

Have a listen to my playlist!

I’m always listening to music. It inspires me, it makes me happy (or sad depending on the song), it calms me down, and I just plain enjoy it. Music is probably one of the most influential things in my life and it always has been. I have a song for everything and [...]

There are some things you should never, ever say

I was hanging out in my room tonight with my door shut, not unusual, especially since both of my sisters had friends over. I am not a huge fan of listening to all that annoying high school gossip and listening to girls laugh and giggle in that high pitched voice over boys. Oh, [...]

You shovel? You can have a hug then

I passed out last night. I had intended on adding one more thing to my site before I took a nap, but I couldn’t make it. I had to stay up and shovel, but when I realized that I couldn’t do it, I started getting ready for a nap. I had been [...]

I really, really hate snow

It started snowing two nights ago, and I’m blaming my friend Amy for it. She now lives down south somewhere. One of the Carolinas, I’m thinking North, but I can’t be too sure. Anyway, her husband is a Marine and he was recently sent to Iraq. She came up to visit [...]

Albums I’m Looking Forward To in 2007

2006 was a pretty crumby year for music. Sure there was some good stuff, but for the most part, there wasn’t very much. 2007 is going to change the recent trend in music. I can feel it. There are some great upcoming albums, and also some rumored albums that are sure [...]

Ep. #2 - Discrimination and shiznet

Finally, Episode 2 has arrived. I’m sorry if I sound a bit pissed off or angry or upset. I had just gotten in a fight with my dad, so I might have sounded like I was a bit t’d off. I talk about a couple of laws that Congress in mulling over [...]

Five Things You Didn’t Know About Me

Ah, so I’ve been tagged, for the first time to do a blog meme. Thanks, Brian. I don’t tell a lot of people a lot of things about me. I like to be mysterious. Is that sexy? So, here are five things you didn’t know about me.

I like musicals. [...]

I’m Back!!

It hasn’t been a good week.  But enough about that.  Thank you, Lisa and Daniel!  You guys both rock.  You made my horrible week all better.
Some friends and I started a Flickr group…about book piles.  Take a picture of your book pile and join us!  Mine will be up ASAP.

Frustrating customer service

I’ve been using Media Temple as my host for awhile now and I’ve been relatively happy so far. I don’t contact customer service often, because I stick to things I know. I don’t often venture out into unknown territory. Well, I’ve been gaining some skills and I wanted to try out something [...]

Gender War on America’s Youth: 50 under 30

On December 28th, the Gender Public Advocacy, or GenderPAC, released a report about violence against gender non-conforming people. From doing my own research into Transgender violence, I can say that it’s not easy to find numbers. It’s under reported but you know it happens. At this time, the United States government doesn’t [...]

My New Years resolutions

I usually don’t make resolutions because I can’t, or don’t, keep them. I don’t think I’ve made any resolutions since…high school. I’m just lazy. This year I’ve promised myself that I will keep my resolutions, since I’m going to the trouble to actually making them. So, in the spirit of keeping [...]
