I found this ad inside one of the gay rags for this year’s pride issue. So drink up bitches, cuz beer and fruity vodka cocktails are what bind us with pride, while a grimy crack pipe tarnishes us in disconnected shame. Notice how pretty and colorful those rainbow drinks look? The message is clear: Alcohol […]
The way I understood it, a tweaker's project is something that tweakers do when they are full on tweaking. You tweak and then rip apart your computer to see if you can put it back together again, you create arts and crafts, or any crazy project that starts out strong but loses all momentum, because […]
I forget why I was taking the embarrassing rough, tough and dirty form of public transportation that hot summer morning several years ago.

I stepped into 2009 celebrating in a huge way. Jan. 10 marks two years of continuous sobriety for me, folks.

My ass was haulin’ ass on a treadmill like a wet gerbil running nowhere, FAST inside a spinning wheel. I gasped and panted with my arms reaching for those damn endorphins to kick in and give me that feels-so-good natural high—“Faster pussycat!

On September 10th 2006, my editor took me to dinner at Jerry's Deli in Beverly Hills. I was munching on a big ass, nasty ass pastrami sandwich with American cheese ("and a Diet Coke please"), when my mentor, collaborator and long time friend gave me some bad news: FAB!, Los Angeles’s only gay and lesbian […]
