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!

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...

The single person's guide to Valentine's Day.

Are you single and fretting over Valentine's? Maybe you're becoming increasingly depressed, or blue, because you keep seeing those jewelry commercials on television, or those candy commercials?  Or your friend's or coworkers keep telling you their plans, or hopes of a potential special moment? Well, I am here to virtually hug you and to tell you, it will be okay.  First, don't begrudge your friend's or coworkers their happiness.  Smile sincerely and be happy for them.  Being happy for them, will make you feel better and will increase your outer (yet invisible) glow.  Hey, you might glow so brightly, you could end up with a Valentine's date if you go to Happy Hour on a Friday night.  Now, how do you get over yourself and move beyond the stigma, that is kind of self-imposed, of being single on Valentine's day?  Take your power back and put you first.  There are a million and ten places open on Valentine's day.  Severa...

Meditation for a Full or New Moon.

Are you one of those people who are a little unbalanced emotionally, or mentally, during a full moon?  Perhaps you go a little crazy, or maybe you turn into a hairless werewolf? Well, I may have the solution you are looking for.  I can't promise it will work miracles, but there is a possibility it might be able to help bring you back to a desirable level of sanity. Some people don't give the moon enough credit. Sure a full moon lights up the earth a bit more than usual, and sure it might make some canines bay at the moon, but it can also mess with your personal being. Think about it, moon cycles play with the ocean tide right?  Well, seeing how the body is made up of a large percentage of water, isn't it plausible that the moon is also playing with the human body? Throwing it off balance and making you feel not so emotionally fresh? I am not a scientist. I am not a trained person when it comes to meditations, so I am putting that out there now. ...
