Celebrating at Disneyland...!

I love October.  It is the home of Halloween, the beginning of Hockey, the World Series and of course, the first weekend is dedicated to Gay Days at Disneyland.  For the past few years I have had the pleasure of joining my friends and my cousin in support by wearing my red shirt, this year I strayed and went with the 'Straight but not Narrow' theme, though I am not completely sure everyone got the point.  Oh well.  Those who did yay, those who didn't, you probably didn't need to. Right? Right.

I thought about documenting the weekend day by day, but pictures are generally more fun and more easier on the eyes, then a bunch of words detailing my good time, which some might find as boring as vacation slides.  Okay, usually I would over share, but today, just keepin' it simple and I decided to express what Gay Days means to me.  Then I will share some pics from the weekend.

Although I can't speak for everyone at Disneyland that day, Gay Days, which is not officially sponsored by Disneyland, always seems to bring out the best (and sometimes worst??) in people.  Fortunately I experienced only the magic of the two days.  It's nice to walk around and see people being themselves.  My Uncle Dennis expressed to me how much he wanted to go, but mainly because he said it would be nice to be able to walk around without being stared at, mocked, or criticized for his lifestyle.  And what exactly is a lifestyle? Man and Woman is a lifestyle, but we don't call it that, we call it a relationship or marriage.  Well guess what folks, love is love. Black, white, pink, man/man, man/woman, woman/woman, yellow, green, blue......etc.  Whether you agree or not, people don't just wake up one day and say I'm going to fall in love with someone who shaves their legs or face just like me.  It just comes naturally.  Yes, I am a lover of the male species, but I embrace people as they should be embraced, for themselves.  Life isn't easy for anyone, so why make it harder on people who just want to live their life peacefully and love who they want to love. 

Remember, our souls are energy and our bodies just the shell we hold it in.  Energy is universal, just as love is.

Okay, so now I'll get off my soap box. And Just to be clear, these are my own opinions. I don't go out of my way to try to make people think differently, I just try to present things from my point of view...typically, like a blog does.

And now for some pictures....lol!

Sissy Jo....

Well, it goes without saying that the days leading up to Comic Con were anything but non-emotional.  Is that even a word?  Seriously, my mind lately. Sissy Jo, one of the three girls I call my soul sister, passed away on June 29th, her funeral was held two days before we left for Comic Con. Admittedly, this reminded me, as well, of mama being sick last year during Comic Con, so of course our 8th trip to the 'Con', was a little bluer than I think we had hoped, but we did manage to have a good time, because we know that is what Jo would have wanted.  As we all know you can't make the pain just disappear, or the sadness that comes with losing someone so important and special to your life.  As anyone could tell you, JoAnn was a force to be reckoned with, a little whirlwind of organization, love and smiles.  She loved many who were in her path and she taught us lessons of survival, never giving up and fighting the good fight. I me...

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...
