I took me a while to wind down from work this morning after a very stressful night at work. All the abominable creatures of the night were out in full force and just had to pay a visit to the corner of Crazy Ave and Stupid Street. On top of being busy with all manor of strange customers, Sean and I had some special projects to complete for the inspection that is coming up. We got it done, but both of us were frazzled by the time our shift was due to be over. Of course the girls ran on Female Standard Time as usual and I did not get off until nearly 7 o'clock. So I took a little bit of a breather, baked some banana nut muffins, and now I am ready to blog.
The weekend provided some good reading on the Internet of relevancy to us of the LGBT persuasion. We have lost yet another Gay teenager to suicide brought on by bullying. Rafael Morelos hanged himself on January 29 and over the weekend a vigil was held in his memory by friends and family. That brought January's total to four deaths by suicide among our precious young LGBT folks. Not all teenagers are taking bullying lying down, some are fighting back as illustrated by the story in Rolling Stone about the teens in the Anoka-Hennepin School District in Minnesota (Michelle Bachman country) and their fight against the religious hate mongers after a rash of suicides brought on by bullying. The story is both heart rending and heart warming to read.
Another good read comes to us by the way of the pages of LGBTQ Nation with a story from Desmond Rutherford and his Des Down Under blog with an article entitled Sex - Goodness or Madness?. Des takes on the subject of sex and those who seek to control other peoples sex lives as well as marriage equality in a way that is both direct and immensely humorous to read. I especially liked his "house of the religious money collectors" in reference to the sanctimonious institutions that purport to speak for the almighty while diddling everyone they can behind closed doors.
Last on the reading list but certainly not least is David Mixner's blog post about the LGBT opportunities for progress at the ballot box in this election season. I agree with his summation about the opportunities he listed as just the "tip of the iceberg of all the excitement at the ballot box for LGBT candidates and victories for marriage equality. This could be our moment in the sun. Please don't miss it." By all means, stay informed, stay active, and by all means vote for those who would best help us on our journey to equality.
Now that I have covered all of that, we come to the play list for today. Felix Mendelssohn wrote several suites during the course of his composing career under the general heading of Songs Without Words. Today we are going to hear three of those suites, his Opus 19, 30 and 38 suites all performed by Daniel Barenboim. Then of course I have this week's collection of hunky hotties more or less covered in their Monday's Undies. Between the mellow music and the marvelous men you should have a great start to your week. Thanks for stopping in, we will see you here again tomorrow. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
