First.

I started this blog for the sole purpose of verbally throwing up about all of the things in this world that either inspire me, annoy me, break me down or otherwise make me feel some type of way. Most of the time I babble on my facebook statuses - but never felt like there was enough room for me to exaggerate on the small amount of characters that the status updates allowed me to do.

A little introduction about me, I guess: I'm 30 years old, hold a Master's Degree in Counseling and work in an inner-city school system. I am gay, and I also have a great girlfriend and the best dog on earth (the two are not related - they're just both wonderful). I've worked with kids with special needs for 11 years and have a strange desire to pursue culinary school in the near future. I am also a photographer who enjoys making others smile through my pictures. I also enjoy partying, dancing, long walks on the beach and all that other unnecessary bull shit that people write about themselves.

Having said all of that - I am currently very excited to see all these ridiculous Republicans popping up all over the place. The two most interesting being: Christine O'Donnell and Michelle Bachman. I am mostly intrigued by Bachman's most recent statement that these natural disasters we have experienced recently are done in order to gain the attention of politicians. Is this bitch nuts, or what? Also, Christine O'Donnell's not a witch - just in case you missed that. These women make me embarrassed to be a woman myself (I've also said the same about Sarah Palin - but she's keeping her trap shut for now...thank goodness) and very much make me want to leave the great and wonderful country that we reside in.

In addition, Eric Cantor is a mega douchebag and I'm unsure as to who even elected this fool. (Don't worry, not all blogs will be political in nature...I'm just feeling antsy to bitch about idiots right now).

In other news - I don't generally care for, or follow pop culture unless I see something strange on tv or the girlfriend brings something up...but what in the HELL was happening at the VMA's this weekend? I mean - when did it become a pre-requisite to dress in the most foolish manner possible in order to attend? Take, for instance, Nicki Minaj: how in the hell did she sit down on Sunday? Her dress looked like an industrial version of a venus fly trap (nothing I'd like to sit on, anyway) and she had on a hospital mask...which coordinated with her outfit...was she afraid Katy Perry was going to breathe on her the wrong way and make her music worse than it already is? (not that I'm confident that would be possible, buuuuut...). Lady Gaga looked relatively hot as a man - her alter ego is far better than that of Beyonce (aka Sasha Fierce)..who really did not need to steal the show by showing her baby bump. Ok, wow...that paragraph made me feel like a lesbian version of Perez Hilton...ha.
