The Hard Candy Calendar Update  From the photographer/designers own pen:
The calendar is almost done. I’ve been hard at work trying to finalize everything. It won’t be long now.
That’s what she said. I’m definitely looking forward to the calendar’s completion. I’m gazing [...]

In My Twenties

In my twenties…
I stopped listening to the crowd.
I never went along anyway.
And was often the odd one out.
I would find myself going.
In the opposite direction.
What I didn’t realize then.
Was that I was self-deflecting.
You know the gay saying “I can’t even think straight”.
I realized some thoughts I held onto were self-destructive as fate. I mean fuck. [...]

The Invention of Lying

The Invention of Lying is a movie with two edges, one dull and one sharp. Ricky Gervais and Jennifer Garner make an odd couple who are almost too opposite for any attraction. The premise of the movie is that everyone tells the truth. There is nothing else to do and if you
have ever said aloud something that [...]

One of the biggest reasons gay porn is widely available is because it’s better [...]

Barack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

Congratulations, Mr. President. What an honor. Right wing heads are popping all over the place today. They’re speaking of their disbelief that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a young, African American, sitting president. He’s only the third US President to achieve such an honor. After Chicago lost the Olympic bid (thank goodness) conservatives couldn’t help [...]

The Beautiful Part I

The beautiful are unafraid
to bear the deepest parts of the soul
They face fears without regard
to any sentiment that may engulf
They bravely take the charge
don’t cry foul when the tables turn ’round
The beautiful reflect the good in some
while never once on us looking down
The beautiful are the rarest
the most well rounded of us all
Personify the golden [...]
