This past week on 20/20, Barbara Walters interviewed transgender children and their families. I didn’t get to watch it since it was on at prime time and my family was home. My parents are still sensitive to me being trans, although my dad has told me that he accepts it, by my mom, [...]

Late last night, Lisa and I were browsing I Can Has Cheezburger? and I was laughing so hard that I couldn’t breathe. I captioned a photo that I took of Ralphie a little bit ago, so I essentially made an lolralphie!

Alright, so it isn’t as funny as the ones found on I Can Has [...]

I just want to drop a quick note and say “Hey, I’ve put up a new design!”
I’m going to be slowly rolling out some new stuff for the site, but not anytime soon, and you’ll see some really big changes in the next couple of weeks (hopefully). I’ll post a real post…later tonight! [...]

If I were five years younger and went to Fresno High School.  But, I’m 23 and I don’t go to Fresno High School, so someone else is taking what could have been mine!  Just kidding.  In all seriousness though, this is pretty neat-o.
Administrators agreed to reverse a district protocol this week that limited males to [...]

My friend Mandy mentioned this pirate reality show a couple months ago.  I was going to go try out, but I found out that I was a month too late.  Damn it all!  Everyone knows that I’m really a pirate.  In any case, this show is just like Amazing Race, except it’s called Pirate Master [...]

I’m a moderator/member of a Trans group on MySpace, and one of the members made this animated short. This is how I feel, and I’m sure a lot of other trans people do as well.

This is one of the hits in my family. Well, my dad says he doesn’t like it because it’s greasy, like fried chicken, but he didn’t even try it. It’s not greasy. Anyway, it’s really good, especially with some ranch dipping sauce or if you make your own honey bbq sauce.

After talking about my lasagna making skillz (yes, with a z, that’s how good I am) on 9rules notes, I’ve decided to share it with the world. It literally is the best lasagna I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating, if I do say so myself. This recipe came from my mom, who [...]

Update: I’ll link to the posts that talk about the memories behind the songs.  I’ve only written one…yesterday.
This is my first mixtape. Download it and love it. Each of the following tracks holds a special place in my heart. They are either directly connected to, or remind me of, a person, memory, [...]

Gaby called me tonight. I was happy to finally hear from her after trying to get in touch with her for two weeks. When I saw that it was her calling, I smiled, answered the phone, said hello. In that brief moment, I was so happy. I wanted to tell her [...]

One of my biggest pet peeves is horrible grammar. I know that I’m not perfect and that I make mistakes just like everyone else, but I don’t sound like an idiot when I talk. If I’m talking to someone that has horrible grammar, I automatically assume that they are an idiot. I [...]

The album officially releases on May 15th. The first single, “Going to A Town,” was released, along with a couple of teasers for other songs on the album on his website.
I think the whole album is amazing. I don’t even know how I would begin to explain it. It’s deep, thoughtful, and [...]

I was visiting a forum that I haven’t really had the time to visit and ran across a link to a Boston Globe article about how transmen are graduating from women’s colleges.  Transmen are people like me, FtM’s.  In any case, I’m no stranger to hearing about this kind of situation.  When I was watching [...]

My buddy David has finally launched 6pins. 6pins is a forum for web developers. I’m relatively active over there, so go check it out. James Mathias is also active over there and has written about it on his site. Oh, and the lovely Kristin is over there as well.

Yesterday was just one of those really boring, insignificant days. Nothing really important happened and for the most part, I didn’t really do anything. I was pretty busy, and I only slept for about two hours, but just because I ran around doesn’t mean that I did much.
I’ve been reading the Harry Potter [...]

The weather has been horrendous lately. For awhile we had been having a decent streak of weather, but we’ve been attacked by snow again for the past week or two. In between working on my own projects, freelancing, and getting the hang of running a household, I’ve been going through some of my [...]

Well, here it is. It’s not nearly done, but I figure it’s decent enough to start blogging over here. I just couldn’t stand WP.com and that would account for the lack of posting over there. But here I am, all set and ready with this. Alright, so I admit, this is [...]

I’m getting my ass in gear and I’m publicly proclaiming that my brand spanking new site will be ready for everyone on April 11th.  I’ve been being lazy and I’ll only do one or two things to it at a time, and it’s driving me nuts.  Plus, I can’t stand WP.com anymore.  I need to [...]

Seriously I’ve never been more busy.  That’s a good thing, but at the same time I’d like to have a little more time to myself.  But whatever.  I previously wrote about how I’m redesigning my brand spanking new site.  I took a break from it so that I could gather some steam and think about [...]
