Michael is one of my favorite people in the world. A good human from the core, He has one of the best hearts I've ever known, a boundless ability to make beauty happen. Michael is someone who you trust from the get-go, with whom you never have a dull moment, or a bad meal. i wish I could have a Michael Henry keychain so I could always have him in my pocket. i miss him.

Michael is the kindest and most creative man I've ever known. And, his inherent sweetness covers steel-hard bravery and integrity. His gardens are pools of beauty, his food's simple delicacy makes the mouth wonder where the magick is tucked, and his artwork speaks of a grown child who has never lost the simple wonder of it all.

I love him deeply and dearly, and am happily honored to be his life partner and husband.

about me
Big fat sissy kinda. I'm one of those men that can act and look the part until I open my yap and the purse falls out. It's one of those things that I love about myself. Well, I've learned to love anyway. I'm SOOOoooo tired of the straight acting and straight appearing homos because on the outside it seems they've taken advantage and cast aside the true rebels of gay culture. The ones that have paved the road they walk on. Now, it's not that I love to curl up with my rainbow flag and beads.....and I really wonder about which side of the axe I'm grinding and why. Can't I say that I just dislike the dismissive nature of these men? It's my space, I can say anything I want. I'm just wondering WHY I'm saying it.

What are the baby queers growing up to be? I see these boys in the clubs and talk to them and the gay ones, if they look and act gay, are really not gay identified and seem to view history and gayness as tacky and old world. I seem to think it's almost apathetic to the plight of gay rights. One part of me wishes that I could have come of age 10 years ago and feel the security in the world that they seem to convey.

I'm wanting to understand more of all this.

The Brain Drain

Reading the NYTimes this morning I came across this little snippet in the fashion section spelling out how all the fashion houses fire designers over the bottom line of brand name:

"Mr. Toledo decried the decreasing odds that creativity can flourish within a corporate environment. “Big business people think: ‘Oh, do we have to go with a creative person? Can’t we just fill the job with a merchandiser?’ ” he said. “You don’t put a scientist into the kitchen of a chef.”

Such ego. Perhap... read more
