However, speaking on the steps of &lt;strong&gt;Lincolns memorial&lt;/strong&gt; which just happens to be one historic day/anniversary as &lt;strong&gt;Martin Luther King&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#160; shared his &amp;quot;I had a dream&amp;quot; speech with us.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;strong&gt;Beck &lt;/strong&gt;claiming he would be just a few steps below that of &lt;strong&gt;M.L.K.&lt;/strong&gt; actual spot.&amp;#160; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beck is a Clown literally&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, check his resume'.

and have always wanted to express it and now can.  Out at 16, exposed at 17, found my partner of 26+ years to date.  Though he and I have had our share of complications one being our AGE difference.  I being 17 and he 33.  The fact he also had money made it really tough for us being clocked as "Sugar Daddy" and "Chicken". We gays are always applauded for our thick skin/shields  if you will as a defense mechanism growing up but why we turn on one another is beyond me when we all know what it is like to be picked on.  We are suppose to be full of pride coming OUT celebrating our new family when in fact we are full of shit.  Okay maybe this statement was a bit harsh?  The jury can decide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have retired from what most would call an ACTIVE gay lifestyle in the year 2000 at 34 years old not by choice but by my AIDS wake up call.  Yeah I was the one living HIV positive have no time to be Negative until my number was called.  Both my partner and I found ourselves starting the new millennium as two gay men living with AIDS.  The fact we had both been to hell and back in our relationship didn't matter anymore, what mattered is we had each other.  Having a lover, boyfriend, partner, significant other, husband, whatever you labled it I lived it my entire OUT life.   Not once was I known for being single only in a relationship or having a boyfriend. So to hear older men whine about being called daddy is nothing short of amusing.  It ranks up there with gay men not wanting to be called GIRL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; When did our beloved community and pride enlist the fuck police?  I always knew being unfaithful or caught tricking out was a risk I took if and when I decided too.   I subscribed to the I love you but I fuck him club.  My partner disagreed with a passion.  When I found it worked both ways my feelings were a bit swayed.  My point is we had to work it out together but now our relationship was fair game in the community.  Having to prove yourself or feel the need to earn trust back from a community which really has no business in your affairs who seems to think it does?   What would we queens do without gossip?  I am the first to admit being one vicious  spilling of the tea queens and know as a youngster from the way I was brought out it was part of the package.  I liked it then but hindsight is 20/20 and I don't like it now.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The last 10 years have been really hard but also very reflective on life as a gay man of 43 living with AIDS and caring for a 15 year my senior partner who is quicker to get sicker and has almost loosing him twice this last year alone.  I guess my perspective on the whole Daddy topic is why does it matter?  Youth is so overrated but yet most of us suckers would give our souls to be young, dumb and full of cum again. WHY?  Can we not grow as individuals celebrating our age and own it not trying to fight it or escape it because it is impossible to recapture ones youth and folly. I had plastic surgery at 19!  Wanting chiseled features, six pack abs sure, popularity you bet but at what cost?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Living as a narcissistic 24/7 sexual predator, going to the gym, tanning, and doing laundry the Jersey lifestyle is not just  unsafe when not played right but pathetic, point blank period.  I am living proof.  When you put all your eggs in one basket and bet the farm with only your looks you will pay and my dear gorgeous young, tight end friends will pay dearly I assure you.  When beauty fades and this is all you gave or put out there what will you become? SEX 24/7, really?  Okay I liked to play around now and then and by the grace of God maybe this is why 26 years with this disease later I am still here. How many partners is too many?  Do you truly value yourself as a piece of meat to be sucked, fucked, and tossed on to the next?  Other than the obvious satisfaction, wouldn't you like to know the persons name for once? Maybe try a relationship on for size instead of looking for SIZE alone? Ask yourself are you really happy with your life be it in or out of a relationship?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  A relationship will not fix what you think is missing in your life anymore than fucking endlessly will. Get real and honest with yourself and each other, live by example not just the rule.  A favorite quote my drag mother gave me years ago was advice I took and it goes something like this.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is far sexier to be wanted than had"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Value and treasure what you have don't give it up so fast.  Just like the real girls don't give up your flower only to be left with a stick of thorned wood.   OUR community is sexually based and I will debate to the day I die the whole we are guys needing to spread our seed and not made to be monogamous theory the straights tell themselves.  Youth, sex, and looks are  what drives this culture and I don't see it changing anytime soon. I can't imagine what women have to deal with when those rules apply coupled with not eating to fit in.  Figuratively, and Literally speaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  I tend to think of us now older gay men (30--&gt;is still over the hill last I checked)as the first wife syndrome.  When the party goes on without your tired ole ass unable to keep up and when we try too we look ridiculous.  I am all for getting with a group of guys and playing at a circuit now and then, but the bar on weekends? seriously grow up.Do you really want to subject yourself to the abuse you once dished out?  Taking PRIDE in being called "daddy" is so stupid unless of course you are in some kind of role leather play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  I know you youngsters are reading this thinking you did it why can't we?  YOU can that is the point.  My hope for writing this soapbox of a comment is maybe as your elder you will know the outcome is not always so pretty.  Twirling, drugging, fucking, without a care in the world will eventually catch up and it is anything but liberating. To wake up one day in a pool of pity and self destruction, wondering if is was worth it?  I wish I had gotten the memo sooner rather than later when it was beyond my control. I do love my community even with it's flaws I wouldn't trade you guys LBT in for the world.   I hope as we grow up in this country we will also mature as a community. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To live as a young gay man today with our human rights finally becoming OUR reality making GAY PRIDE a fight we are now winning instead of loosing.  Stonewall, Bath Houses, Disco, Drag, Dance, Diva's, Drugs, Dick, and Disease we ACT ed up and not a minute too soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34028828-6961282508294655211?l=deargawdy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://links.mkt335.com/ctt?kn=1&amp;m=2954767&amp;r=OTA2NzEyMTA3OQS2&amp;b=0&amp;j=MTc3NjA1MDEwS0&amp;mt=1&amp;rt=0' title='My heart belongs to daddy'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/feeds/6961282508294655211/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34028828&amp;postID=6961282508294655211' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/6961282508294655211'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/6961282508294655211'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/2010/04/my-heart-belongs-to-daddy.html' title='My heart belongs to daddy'/><author><name>Thom Collins</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348030096165529942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhEzaQvJtNY/S8TRwH5hEQI/AAAAAAAADfs/qRnFFWjHfS8/S220/2010march.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028828.post-3051022795257364266</id><published>2009-06-10T01:06:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-10T01:06:26.572-05:00</updated><title type='text'>It's a wrap 09</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="pp_items"&gt;&lt;div class="pp_item" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.pixelpipe.com/37cab2ca-2677-4a2b-9743-5476f4f341ee_m.jpg" style="max-width: 100%;" /&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's a wrap&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34028828-3051022795257364266?l=deargawdy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/feeds/3051022795257364266/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34028828&amp;postID=3051022795257364266' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/3051022795257364266'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/3051022795257364266'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/2009/06/it-wrap-09.html' title='It&amp;#39;s a wrap 09'/><author><name>Thom Collins</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348030096165529942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhEzaQvJtNY/S8TRwH5hEQI/AAAAAAAADfs/qRnFFWjHfS8/S220/2010march.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028828.post-2338866218840718701</id><published>2009-06-10T00:16:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-10T00:16:03.693-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The update Countdown</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="pp_items"&gt;&lt;div class="pp_item" align="left"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi Thomas Colvin I can't beleive I finally found you.

“One Handsome BOW?”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Comic Sans MS"&gt;After 5 weeks of hell not me, but my partner David we are both finally in our own home but he is 50/50. We have home health care with an RN, LPN, and PT/OT. He had to go to the Emergency room again yesterday due to dehydration. He doesn't like the taste of water and basically he has to start liking it or he can kiss his bladder goodbye and even being melodramatic could die if he doesn't begin to fight and try. It has been tough on him but for a caregiver it can be just as draining and hell. I have seen this many times with friends before and it doesn't always have to be AIDS but any illness with a serious side to it. Loved ones who are sick have a tendency of pushing and pushing to the point of wanting a knock out fight to have ME or YOU the caregiver to say basically &amp;quot;Blank Blank and Blankety Blank&amp;quot; with the hopes you will go away but also deep down they want to see if you will come back. Don't ask me why people who are fighting something life threatening or terminal feel the need to play these games but in my 25plus years living, breathing, fighting, working, crying, laughing, and most of all living with HIV/AIDS I know the road ahead will not be easy and support from JC, Family, and friends like those of you here on Face book with whom I have either reconnected with from the past or as I have said before have met on my OUT of the Closet tour Circa 1980's up until today. Wait let me check to see if I woke up straight......NOPE still gay. I really have to say Thank you for listening to my ramblings in the beginning of this adventure and even though I started to disappear it came to my attention it was impossible to share emotions which at one point I actually was numb and had none. But I am re-energized and spent the night playing with my drag and another hobby of mine Photography. Or Tech Art Photography. I will post some of my work for you to see but all it takes is some makeup, lighting, camera (video or Camera) along with many a program to tweak my creations. I do hope to get the nerve up to start posting video blogs or Vlogs on Face-book for it is so much easier than typing. Well, enjoy or destroy my drag profile pic for the weekend while I work on my summer 09 FB profile pic. Take CARE and God B&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34028828-2160266143342516699?l=deargawdy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/feeds/2160266143342516699/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34028828&amp;postID=2160266143342516699' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/2160266143342516699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/2160266143342516699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/2009/05/does-beat-go-on-really.html' title='Does the beat go on, really?'/><author><name>Thom Collins</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348030096165529942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhEzaQvJtNY/S8TRwH5hEQI/AAAAAAAADfs/qRnFFWjHfS8/S220/2010march.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_LhEzaQvJtNY/Sg2Y7pMlBhI/AAAAAAAAClw/N-hDf4xn4hk/s72-c/draglife_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028828.post-3760950227664610952</id><published>2009-02-07T22:49:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-07T22:49:37.057-06:00</updated><title type='text'>1,000,000 GAYS &amp; LESBIANS ON FACEBOOK!

If not it was just an honor to try and make sense of this observation as to stay on point and not go all Wild Tangent up in here.&amp;#160; This is how I see it and I have seen allot.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Picture it Midwest Oklahoma City 1995 just opening a non for profit HIV/AIDS foundation Open Your Heart org.&amp;#160; Always one to be a step ahead understanding the power of publicity a close girlfriend signed me up to a then Large but still communal AOL 1.5 giving me the Handle name ThomPoz. Remember the famous &amp;quot;Inter webs&amp;quot; didn't go mainstream until 1998.&amp;#160; This is my point and how it all relates to this project on Facebook.&amp;#160; If NOT for the GLBT community keeping those memberships/cash flow to AOL servers always UP for a good time at all hours of the day getting served a daily dose of just how friendly the GAYS who by no fault of our own are 1st in line to be condemned/hated on, or beaten but at the same time this then uncharted Internet and Cyberspace began to introduce Netscape or a new app called a search engine like Yahoo all would profit through growth and expansion as to one day be able to chat around the world but someone (Al Gore?) or something had to host it.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="left"&gt;So 1995 prior and after AOL kept many a members happy with the somewhat original dose of a very BUSY GLBT Communal Networking of it's time knocking the 976 party lines off their throne before they realized the now Infamous M4M &amp;quot;CHAT ROOMS&amp;quot; were fresh,overloaded, exciting, and new. Just those three years alone AOL saw a spike in memberships and they were not from housewives for scrap booking ideas. Plus it was FREE!&amp;#160; Honey we were at the party and as a Veteran of AOL I still have my chats/hosted HIV/AIDS private hosted monthly chat printed on dot.matrix printer. Knowing it impossible to try and compete with the ever changing M4M basic inquiry to years later so very creative M4BiM/Tran under 30 Chat rooms.Turned on and over by the time mainstream America could say Who Where What or -www..dotcoms&amp;#160; were just learning the difference between the animal Mouse and the computer mouse and the idea of the Personal computer/Media/Video/Music/Entertainment basically as we now know and love didn't get off so to speak with such excitement invested money into the future of the World Wide Web and Silicon valley .dot Busted. My friends still built my website in 1998 sadly she is still up and gets email to date but&amp;#160; archaic html gives a glimpse or a snapshot if you will of what the net was like 10 plus years ago.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;p align="left"&gt;If not for it along with being pro active participating in, learning, meeting, enriching my own personal life in so many ways I firmly believe if NOT for our vibrant and colorful GLBT communities feel the way in which WE the People share information via&amp;#160; myspace, Friendster, and this Million GLBT experiment on Facebook may have looked very different... do you follow me??? This is just an opinion and is posted to be debated but is Facebook when you step back and as a past AOL volunteer or if you participated back in the mid 90's basically just a more interesting, and fun way to stay in touch through more ways than just text, but video, music, and photos still just ONE BIG CHAT ROOM of the past?&amp;#160; What has changed socially today which was not in place 10 years ago.&amp;#160; Kids this is progress. Why tell such a long tale because when we finally get all of OUR EQUAL rights and maybe a month of gay history I would love the answer to my theory when someone crunches the numbers allowing history to record the GLBT played a pivotal role in the way WE the People, Network, communicate, play, meet, learn, date, and relate to each other Gay, Straight, Christian, Muslim, Black or White&amp;#160; in the 21st century.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=58791231070&amp;amp;ref=mf" target="_blank"&gt;JOIN this group and be heard&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34028828-3760950227664610952?l=deargawdy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/feeds/3760950227664610952/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34028828&amp;postID=3760950227664610952' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/3760950227664610952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/3760950227664610952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/2009/02/1000000-gays-lesbians-on-facebook.html' title='1,000,000 GAYS &amp;amp; LESBIANS ON FACEBOOK!

to be gay.&amp;#160; Crying sneaks up on you and when you realize all the love,attention, friendship, support, and all that is unconditional this beautiful 2 week old black capped Capuchin we named Rolex was a custodial blessing from my beloved Jesus himself.&amp;#160; Just a half year shy of his 13 birthday God called him home and my faith is the ONLY thing which gets me thru this.&amp;#160; I can only compare this pain to the loss of your mate or child. If you find my grief misplaced and refer to Rolex as a &amp;quot;PET&amp;quot; I would have to break my Christian tradition and choose NOT to ever correspond with you ever again.&amp;#160; Debating Gays going to hell is fun for me but this monkey after all is 98 percent closest DNA/Genes as us humans.&amp;#160; He was there just like E.T. was there for Elliot and vice versa.&amp;#160; Rolex fought the last two years with an auto immune disease not really verified but similar to Lupus.&amp;#160; Then he had allergic reaction 4 years ago to the damn rabies shot they don't need but only if it just about kills them first.&amp;#160; His left leg was never the same.&amp;#160; Type two diabetes since a baby I could go on but like myself living with AIDS he took care of David and I as we did him and our home is an empty shell, a silent quiet, a realization one will have to eventually face and after this dreadful first two weeks since he passed in my mates arms around this time two weeks ago he was at home and knew he was surrounded with love.&amp;#160; I said my goodbyes two weeks ago for I raised him and I knew Rolex was tired and in some ways held on for us and never once would I keep him alive for selfish reasons but 4 days prior he and I in the moonlight coming thru our bedroom laying and looking outside into the dark night was our night.&amp;#160; I admit I tend to go the high dramatic route but with tears running down my face looked him in the eyes and like we have seen in movies told him if you need to go, I understand and I will be okay, but if you want to fight I will fight with you.&amp;#160; He cooed and like any other time licked my salty tears but once again life imitating art in this case my favorite movie E.T. was he speaking to me through his powerful eyes always in deep thought could hear in my head &amp;quot;COME&amp;quot; and me to him without speaking &amp;quot;Stay&amp;quot; and then kissed his now scabby red and swollen toes trying now not to loose it completely whimpered &amp;quot;OUCH&amp;quot;.&amp;#160; It was my moment so precious loving, sad, dramatic, knowing it was a matter of time, who knew just 3 days later.&amp;#160; He is still in our room since cremated unable to even look at his ashes for we are having a beautiful Glass Globe made by Pet Memories where they use some of his ash, mixed with two colors lit with halogen light from below looking so ethereal.&amp;#160; So I along with my partner David try to stay busy and have to watch our health too now.&amp;#160; I will end with we love all of our family be it mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, and friends.&amp;#160; My family all lives out of state and Rolex was like my partner a DAILY part of my EVERYDAY routine.&amp;#160; My beloved Nanny died earlier this last year also and since there are no monkey sitters I have never been able to travel or been out of the state since Rolex got to around 3 but 1999 was the day my life stood still.&amp;#160; I can't sleep in our bed, cut an apple, shower in my shower, and my partner God bless him use to moan about the mess Rolex could unleash upon this house since he WAS NOT CAGED Raised leaving peanut shells all over, and around New Years Eve we couldn't look at each other for fear of whaling and weeping but with tears coming down David's face he said to me &amp;quot;damn ir I would kill for just one peanut shell to pick up&amp;quot; we cried again hugged and take each day one day at a time.&amp;#160; Thank you for supporting and allowing me a chance to share this personal part of my heart with you. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:162204d9-0eca-4f16-8cf6-183d226d41d4" style="padding-right: 0px;

TRUST ME when I say or your family tells you don't grow up so fast you will have your whole life to do all the twisted things you are doing know with nobody telling you to stop because when your turn 21 you will be legal and an adult to boot. My first realization of this was on my 20th birthday in at the time Oklahoma City. My partner had left his wife a few years prior, he had money and we new how to throw a party. As an evil trick on my partners part he had all our friends&lt;br /&gt;drop acid a little earlier than planned. Oh BTW I was dressed in purple unitard and covered in purple balloons with a hideous skullcap and green leaves and twigs..if you haven't guessed i was a batch of grapes. Then just as the acid turned me on full blast the doorbell rang and it was my mom, dad, and little sister with whom I hadn't seen because of the way the whole gay thing went down in a Italian catholic home. I don't blame my partner for this because all of my friends were in on the so called joke. Lets just say trying to "grip" or in my case "Grape" was not possible and once they were inside everyone of course makes it more uncomfortable by being quiet except for a few friends who offered to take their coats etc. Mother replied that's OK Tommy seems to be having the time of his life and I grabbed my little sister who was all of 15 and offered her a bump of cocaine. She didn't know how to do it and I showed her in my acid&lt;br /&gt;tripping state of mind thank the lord my hands shook so much she didn't get it in the nose, come to find out months later she was a serious drunk. But there is a story another part of my life shared for others to read, laugh at, judge, or cry. Me personally next to my 30thb day party thrown by my entire family with my partner and our kids almost beat out my acid trip 20th. The point of this revelation is turning 21 in Las Vegas the following year because now I was legal the ritual or rite of passage was tainted an was nothing more than a joke, idiotic and it still took me the summer of 1993 and a suicide attempt to get somewhat able to drive my broken down body not just to another off ramp but a complete pit stop and some DEAR GAWD time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34028828-6008746170630185476?l=deargawdy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://thomcollins.wordpress.com' title='Wrote a little diddy, like to read it, there you go.'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/feeds/6008746170630185476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34028828&amp;postID=6008746170630185476' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/6008746170630185476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/6008746170630185476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/2008/03/wrote-little-diddy-like-to-read-it.html' title='Wrote a little diddy, like to read it, there you go.'/><author><name>Thom Collins</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348030096165529942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhEzaQvJtNY/S8TRwH5hEQI/AAAAAAAADfs/qRnFFWjHfS8/S220/2010march.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028828.post-1402807550581314535</id><published>2007-05-25T13:01:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2007-05-25T13:01:27.175-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Gay Pride 2007</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p align='left'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&lt;small&gt;Get ready cause I am going to tell it like I do every year I live with this disease. Okay there are many many social networking sites popping up one after another.&amp;amp;nbsp; I really would like to start a bit of a how do you say "a network of in your face, toilet face kind of people".&amp;amp;nbsp; Well them there is fighting words but there are two social networking sites with this web 2.0 craze and with my wisdom or uh long term survivor of 24 plus years if you will would like to make having this damn disease fun again.&amp;amp;nbsp; Remember the days of should I tell or should I keep quiet, or taking AZT back when it first came out and popped them with whatever PILL dujour was of the evening.&amp;amp;nbsp; Ecstasy, coke, or GHB those were fun times.&amp;amp;nbsp; But now I am still alive and in gay years should be appearing on a smuckers jam jar on the today show rather&amp;amp;nbsp;soon.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; So I started these two clubs/networks/gatherings/or maybe a little shock publicity if you will, Tina no I didn't mean it...just basically called Ask the Gay with Full Blown AIDS, he-mans women haters club.&amp;amp;nbsp; No just kidding on the he-mans thing didn't you love those little rascals?&amp;amp;nbsp; Okay I am getting off on a tangent.&amp;amp;nbsp; My point is I am not any better than any other long termed or more knowledgeable either all I am saying is I started these online support groups ala circa AOL 2.0 1994 way back in the day when I was more than a contender I was some-BODY and I do mean BODY.&amp;amp;nbsp; I am also very humble and would use to share my story with anyone who had a camera and a contract or if I was so HIGH I could keep the New York Christmas tree lit just from my teeth grinding the friction alone.oh dear tangent sorry.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align='left'&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align='left'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;small&gt; I would love to meet other sarcastic, dark humor, dry or quick witted and maybe a dash of evil but only enough to make us laugh without the so called object of our rejection ever knowing and the reason why I would allow it is because deep down we all know those people and we all have their numbers to put it mildly and they are most likely talking about us anyway.&amp;amp;nbsp; So does two wrongs make a right, gossip or perpetuating the catty queen behavior so many of us negative and positive still try so hard to distance ourselves from. I don't buy it and find it insulting to our forefathers, sisters and skins to erase our "HER"itage as gay men. Please I do not want to lead on I am forgetting or addressing the rest of our community such as Lesbian, Bisexuals, and Tran gendered in this discussion but it is GLBT and Gay was put first so I am sorry about the order of who is more important but I didn't write the write the constitution so don't blame me write to your cable operator and start a expedition so your voice or vote will be counted and heard too and you may see change in your lifetime.&amp;amp;nbsp; I doubt it but keep up the good fight because no one cause is more important than mine and learning how to MILK and mingle is hard to master but I know there has to be a few of you left out there in the big world wide web who is still struggling to survive hanging on with not a t cell to spare, you know who you are and I am the HIV/AIDS Internet community crier, but I am literally crying.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align='left'&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align='left'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&lt;small&gt;And frankly I like the word fag but I was out of town and missed that vote but I can live with gay. So beyond ignorant just thinking of the many gorgeous men I had encountered in many aspects meaning encounter could be easily replaced with whatever word you could dream up, my point being those pretty boyz who would get pinched if you were having fun laughing out loud and refer to them as GIRL, go get mama a drink.&amp;amp;nbsp; Well you would think the world had just come to an end, I am not your girl I am a guy thank you.&amp;amp;nbsp; uggghhhhh barf whatever and I suppose everybody who is shirtless and dancing the night away with sweat glistening off their nipple but their nose has not a bit of shine, powdered down to perfection.&amp;amp;nbsp; In many cases powdered down in more ways than one.&lt;/small&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align='left'&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align='left'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Oh and one more thing these are the type of gay men who only do drag on Halloween but their costumes are planned a year ahead of time and they usually start shopping in the early spring.&amp;amp;nbsp; Plus have you ever noticed there is always a pair of size 12 pump placed so it is not seen, but not so hidden it can't be busted out one evening when she is feeling pretty.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Halloween but their costumes are planned a year ahead of time and they usually start shopping in the early spring.&amp;amp;nbsp; Plus have you ever noticed there is always a pair of size 12 pump placed so it is not seen, but not so hidden it can't be busted out one evening when she is feeling pretty.&amp;amp;nbsp; Okay now with this vivid description out of the way&lt;/small&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align='left'&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align='left'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;Okay now with this vivid description out of the way it is important to understand why I mentioned looking for others with a little bit of catty and a dash of evil just enough to be able to laugh at someone else's faux pas at the cost of complete humiliation.&amp;amp;nbsp; But it has been my experience, training, and most of all survival skills taught by situations of Vile and terror only to be clocked or read by the nearest drag queen or a pre op transsexual incognito there to read my beads and put me in my place.&amp;amp;nbsp; What the hell does this all mean, I am alive&lt;/small&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align='left'&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align='left'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&lt;small&gt;For a couple of damn good reasons and one of them is a sense of humor, though a bit dark, misunderstood, rude, judgmental, insecure, and the typical Miss Thing behavior we all have tried in vain to run away from, but deep down we love it and if you don’t love it your lying or you are no good at it.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Good at what you ask?&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Well if you have to ask then you will never be good at it.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Sure we all are born with gaydar and our lesbian sisters know their way around power tools if everyone would just stop, think for a frickin minute before sputtering out drunk, sober, or otherwise something stupid and/or politically charged by resorting to the same old basic middle school labels and parent taught stereotypes who would we have to laugh at?&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I mean I own the word FAG and I take the power out of this hate language and use it to refer to friends as a term of endearment to my “homie-sexuals” We are living in a time when words hurt and that saddens me.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;span style=''&gt;&lt;small&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align='left'&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align='left'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;small&gt; &lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;small&gt;If you are flying in the gay world solo not having the tools of being able to protect yourself with a quick witted comeback or the reading of someone’s beads back at em if they dare try it on you.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Okay so you are not good at playing stupid little name calling games or reading someone’s “beads” by clocking and calling them out on a bad fashion mistake when it wouldn’t have made a difference.&lt;/small&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align='left'&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align='left'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;small&gt; &lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;small&gt;OMG a tear the finale of The Real World Denver and Brookes final confessional has made me rethink this whole short story essay, application, shout out, blog post whatever it is I can honestly say just like Brooke said I feel alive, I didn’t when I started this adventure but I feel alive now.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So on that note and rude thought interruption we will refocus back to my story that is by far more important and a whole complete life lesson worth of knowledge.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align='left'&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align='left'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;small&gt;Where was I oh yeah it wouldn’t have made a difference it was already way too late for your friend to change.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Okay so your best friend visiting from back home is wearing and working this trendy neon green button down shirt which looks faboo on his oh so buff, tall, masculine frame, some brand new jeans etc.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;However as hot as he looked and he knew it too just happened to be in every setting is it mood lighting, or a quick stop at the stink pot fluorescent lighting gas station?&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Hi how are you here, hey what’s up nice to meet you there all just made me sick…so fake you think your friend is just a little to cute for his own words.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So just say for example this best girlfriend is taking you out to a new hot bar he has been too and knows it has nothing but black lighting.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So you are not just noticed you are seen for at least a mile and half, hell you could land planes you are a walking living breathing glow stick.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;True story, so embarrassing and humiliating for him I can still remember him begging me to go somewhere else but I couldn’t the night was planned weeks in advance unlike his obvious outfit disaster. I was treating one of my back home girlfriends to a night out in the one and only West Hollywood.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Well she was taller than me and had less body fat and it wasn’t like I slept with her boyfriend on their 4-week anniversary, I at least waited until the next day. Duh I am not so evil I would make someone cry just for a laugh at their expense, well maybe an uncomfortable pause or embarrassed face on the verge of crying but just a whimper isn’t so bad.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Now if he was to bust out in a full spray of unadulterated tear fests then at this point I have no other choice but to write her off right then and there severe all ties and act as if I have no idea who this person is.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I mean I do have a reputation to protect.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Years of crawling and scraping my way through my sugar daddy’s wallet did not come as easy as I had hoped and was taught in daddy’s money 101 by my drag mother a pre op transsexual named Mindy, ah hell it is all in the book.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;span style=''&gt;&lt;small&gt; &lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align='left'&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align='left'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;small&gt;Well to sum it up in the early to mid 90’s I resided and ruled the world of WeHO’s OZ for almost 3 full terms because as you most likely know 15 minutes is all anyone gets to reign supreme in LA’s world gay world of the Circuit.&lt;span style=''&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I was blessed those memorable early youthful years doing charity work for International Male/Playgirl centerfold/Men’s workout oh please all those tired but important quest items are needed if you are questing for this particular title/goal I was working so hard for.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The ability to be talked about in front of my face but most of all the coveted talking behind my back is double the points of brilliance because good or bad you are so important all press is better than no press at all.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Yeah I coined the phrase just like Janice Dickinson was the first supermodel of the world. So moonlighting as a Go Go boy to put myself through beauty school to make something of my life before I got too old I mean I was already pushing 25 and having HIV at this point for almost 10 years I was working it like nobody else should.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align='left'&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align='left'&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The point of this monologue, prayer, mantra, whatever is if you are going to be a Crybaby Crenshaw you need to grow up get a life so I can make fun of it laughing out loud and thinking to myself you may be taller and have a little less body fat but my AIDS has way more I mean a butt load, no pun intended more t cells than you buster so just remember no matter how hard you try my immune system is 10 times stronger than yours.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Wimps, wannabee’s need not apply and btw don’t be surprised if this story is basically posted on every site you see this is one of those posts.&lt;span style=''&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My thesis, my drama, my junk for the week filled with love and sharing bubbles of health and bullshit. I am hungry bye&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;'&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;

Revelation 1:3]Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecyAnd blessed are those who hearAnd who keep what is written thereinFor the time is near[from Revelation 1:7]He is coming with the clouds And every eye will see himEveryone who pierced himAnd all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him[from Revelation 2:1-4]Those of you who have not learned what some call the deep things of SatanI know your works, I know your toil, and your patient enduranceAnd how you cannot hear evil menBut have tested those who call themselves apostles, but are notAnd found them to be falseI know that you are enduring patiently and bearing out for my namesakeAnd you have not grown wearyBut I have this against youThat you have abandoned the love you had[from Revelation 2:9-10]I know your tribulation and your povertyAnd the slander of those who say that they are Jews, but they are notThey are a synagogue of SatanDo not fear what you are about to sufferBehold the devil is about to throw you into prisonWanting, needing, waiting for you to justify my loveHoping, praying for you to justify my love[from Revelation 13:1-10]And I saw a beast rising out of the sea with ten horns and seven headsAnd a blasphemous name upon its headAnd the beast that I saw was like a leopardIts feet were like a bear’sAnd its mouth was like a lion’s mouthAnd to it the dragon gave his power, and his throne, and great authorityOne of his heads had a mortal woundBut it seemed to have a mortal wound that was healedAnd the whole earth followed the beast with wonder&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Men worshipped the dragon for he had given his authority to the beast And they worshipped the beast saying&amp;quot;Who is like the beast and who can fight against the beast?&amp;quot;And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous wordsAnd it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two monthsIt opened its mouth to utter blasphemous words against GodIt was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquerAnd authority was given it over every tribeAnd a people and tongue and nationAnd all who dwell on earth could worship it in vainIf anyone has an ear let him hearIf anyone is to be taken captive, into captivity he will goIf anyone who slays with the sword, with the swordWanting, needing, waiting for you to justify my loveHoping[from Revelation 21:1-8]Then, I saw a new heaven and a new earthAnd I heard a great voice from the throne saying:&amp;quot;Behold the dwelling of God is with menHe will dwell with them, and they shall be his peopleAnd God himself will be with themHe will wipe away every tear from their eyesAnd death shall be no moreNeither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymoreFor these things will have passed awayTo the thirsty I will give water without priceFrom the fountain of the water of lifeHe who conquers shall have this heritageAnd I will be his God and he shall be my sonBut as for the cowardly, the faithless, the pollutedAs for the murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolators, and all liarsTheir lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone.&amp;quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;[from Revelation 22:10-13]And he said to me, he said to me:&amp;quot;Do not seal up the words of the prophecy, for the time is nearLet the evildoers still do evil, and the filthy still be filthyAnd the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holyBehold, I am coming soonI am the alpha and the

I think it was with DIGG and his site.  I have to give him a congrats and a kiss my monkey hold to Kevin P who is now the host of The attack of the show.  It has gotten so pitiful it makes me sick.  Okay that is all for now...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34028828-115853228772390907?l=deargawdy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/feeds/115853228772390907/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34028828&amp;postID=115853228772390907' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/115853228772390907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/115853228772390907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/2006/09/so-much-to-learn.html' title='So much to LEARN'/><author><name>Thom Collins</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348030096165529942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhEzaQvJtNY/S8TRwH5hEQI/AAAAAAAADfs/qRnFFWjHfS8/S220/2010march.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028828.post-115825603417857709</id><published>2006-09-14T12:47:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-09-14T12:47:14.176-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Monkey Checks Out a Dog's Package Then Laughs At It</title><content type='html'>Just watch it and laugh at it. Poor dog.  Yeah I know about little dogs.  I actually bit the toe off of one of my pets friends little Chihuahua, her name was Lucy.  They use to torture me when I was just a baby monkey both Lucy and her evil friend Ethel.  When I turned 5 years old I got my sweet revenge and bit the tip of her paw off.

According to police, Smith herself found her son in her hospital room yesterday around 9:00 am, thinking that he was asleep. She then tried to wake him up and, after he didn't respond, immediately called for help. At that point, doctors and staff were not able to revive 20-year-old Daniel. Anna Nicole had just given birth three days earlier in the same hospital to a baby daughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police continue to maintain that there were no signs of visible injury on the body, and that there were no signs of violence in the room. Police add that they haven't deemed the death a homicide, and do not suspect foul play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources cited by the local newspaper Nassau Guardian have suggested that the cause of death was a "massive heart attack," but neither doctors nor the local coroner has confirmed this. And the Guardian adds that Daniel Smith arrived in Nassau on Saturday, after his mother had given birth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="poweredbyperformancing"&gt;powered by &lt;a href="http://performancing.com/firefox"&gt;performancing firefox&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34028828-115801029644097310?l=deargawdy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/feeds/115801029644097310/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34028828&amp;postID=115801029644097310' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/115801029644097310'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/115801029644097310'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/2006/09/this-is-so-very-sad-and-bit-odd.html' title='This is so very sad, and a bit odd'/><author><name>Thom Collins</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348030096165529942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhEzaQvJtNY/S8TRwH5hEQI/AAAAAAAADfs/qRnFFWjHfS8/S220/2010march.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028828.post-115798136332537956</id><published>2006-09-11T08:29:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-09-11T08:30:39.063-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Klein is out of the Bag</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7255/3723/1600/cruise090706.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7255/3723/320/cruise090706.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://socialitelife.com/2006/09/07/suri_cruise_conspiracy_rumor_of_the_day.php"&gt;A Socialite's Life&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34028828-115798136332537956?l=deargawdy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://socialitelife.com/2006/09/07/suri_cruise_conspiracy_rumor_of_the_day.php' title='The Klein is out of the Bag'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/feeds/115798136332537956/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34028828&amp;postID=115798136332537956' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/115798136332537956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34028828/posts/default/115798136332537956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deargawdy.blogspot.com/2006/09/klein-is-out-of-bag.html' title='The Klein is out of the Bag'/><author><name>Thom Collins</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348030096165529942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LhEzaQvJtNY/S8TRwH5hEQI/AAAAAAAADfs/qRnFFWjHfS8/S220/2010march.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028828.post-115798122134963855</id><published>2006-09-11T08:27:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-09-11T08:32:01.766-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Asian Persuasion</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7255/3723/1600/katietomsuri090806.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7255/3723/320/katietomsuri090806.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who is the third wheel in this photo?
