Raw Wicked Energy

Okay, I am a vegan (no meat, dairy or fish products in my diet), and this week I decided to go raw. I've been hearing great stuff about diets with all uncooked non-animal foods. It is supposed to be great for the immune system, detoxification, weight loss, and ENERGY.

I am a mellow guy leaning toward lower energy. Well day four of this raw diet and I am absolutely bouncing off the walls. Wicked energy. I don't walk, I scamper (which is a little less than a run). I just got off the phone with Christine (she is doing some rockin' design work for me) and I think I thoroughly confused her. Christine, I swear it is not cocaine; it's broccoli.

Who knows where this will go. As if I weren't weird enough. I can just see my friends rolling their eyes when I break the news that I've gone raw.

There's a restaurant down the street from me right up your alley. It's called Ecopolitan--bear it in mind if you visit your sister sometime soon.

Y'know, some people imply that gays have never met a fetish they didn't like or an addiction to which they weren't vulnerable.

In your case, they may just have a point -- look at the way you tune and tweak your food fetish, and your addiction to health, peace, energy, and productivity!

Good stuff, if you ask me!!!

Huh. Never heard of that. Maybe it's something for me, although it does sound a little scary. Considering how I respond to normal stimulants I'm not sure it's safe. ;)

Its alright Peterson, we can ask the chippy to give you your fish & chips raw. We're getting better at customer service in the UK these days so I'm sure they'll be able to accomodate you.

Hey, aren't you planning a trip to Scotland as well - they still cook their chips in beef fat up there!

They also have the highest rate of heart disease in the UK...

CA, I believe it is raw beef fat, so it is technically okay.

Oh, and I have a good heart, a very good heart (and good teeth too--it's an American thing)

My Gay Husband--A Spouse Speaks Out

The other day I received the following e-mail from Susanne, a woman who found out her some years ago that her husband has same-sex attractions. I felt so moved by her words that I asked her permission to share them with you on the blog. I (recently) saw your Doin Time... and I was the one who asked about your wife during the discussion period that followed. I just read your thoughts on What About the Spouse ....and I can say, most women who find out their husbands are gay feel ALL of those things you wondered about....some in more degrees than others... When my husband was dragged out of the closet because of his irreverent, immoral, and amoral behavior that our, then, 14 and 16 year old sons had to find on our home computer, I went into the closet. I didn't know what to pray for.... Do I pray that this will go away? Do I pray that he could go back to the way things were in our family before we knew about him,? Do I pray that I could go back to the way things were? After all ,...

The False Image of LIA

John Smid and me-Graduation 1998 (above) & John Smid today (left) By now many have heard that Tennessee's Department of Mental Health & Developmental Disabilities determined that the "ex-gay" program, Love in Action, is operating two “unlicensed mental health supportive living facilities”. LIA has until Friday, September 23 to respond. If LIA statements in Eartha Jane Melzer's article are indicative to how the "change" program might respond, we may see LIA change right before our eyes from a clinical mental health compound into a house of praise and worship. Gerard Wellman, business administrator for Love in Action, and a former Love in Action client, said Sept. 13 that the organization has been in contact with the state but would not comment further. “As a church, we operate under a different set of rules,” Wellman said. Curious, and what rules might these be? What is even more curious is that according to LIA's site only one staff member ...

Puzzled

Last night I performed Transfigurations-Transgressing Gender in the Bible at Imago Dei Metropolitan Community Church in Glen Mills, PA (about 15 miles outside of Philly). I had a diverse audience of about 45 people -- college students, Quakers, straight, bi, trans and lesbian, young and old. I took my time with the piece maintaining a gentle meditative pace. For the ending when I reveal the identity of the narrator, I had instructed the light tech to dim the lights. Then as the closing music swelled, I asked her to raise the lights to their brigthest intensity. With the music playing, I exited. Always (up until last night) at this point the audience applauds, I wait 5 seconds then come out to take a bow. Last night I exited and then nothing. No one clapped. They sat quietly as the music played. I stood back stage puzzled, baffled. Now what do I do? Wait? Go out anyway? And I wondered for a moment, Did they hate it? Did I confuse them? Offend them? Bore them into a coma? After what ...
