Shouldn’t all limericks be a little gay??

Read my entire limerick collection here.

I am taking the day off today, and headed to Las Vegas with the boyfriend.  It’s been years since I’ve been there–and this is the first visit that I am of legal gamblin’ age.

We’ve got tickets to the Cirque du Soleil show Ka, and Mr. D’s cousin lives there.  We should have a great time.

Expect very few blog posts.

I know that it’s a FREE service and everything, but it’s kind of frustrating to see how unreliable Twitter is.

I was about to log in and tweet something about how I don’t have to go to sleep right now because I have tomorrow off–but I’ll probably go to sleep anyway.  If Twitter was working, I probably would have come up with something much more clever.

Good night.

Every week I share a handful of links that I’ve come across on the world-wide web. This week I’m sharing some of my favorite Twitter feeds to follow.

Happy Thought - One happy thought a day.

Astro Pisces - Receive your horoscope via a daily tweet.

CNN Breaking News - Whenever big news breaks, CNN will send you a tweet.

The Buddha - Get an mind-calming message (that just happens to be inspired by Buddhist teachings) every day.

Hobo Jones - Follow this fictional Twitter feed of a hobo living on the streets. A sad/humorous look into a life many of us haven’t ever been able to get this close to.

The Cookbook - Tiny recipes condensed into the small 140-character box. Kind of impressive.

MrMikeLawson - That’s my feed. If you read my blog, start following me!

Not sure why, but I wanted to post this.  Mr. D got it from Jenie who got it from Google.

This past weekend I spent time with a friend of my boyfriend’s who loved to use the adjective “gay” in a pejorative sense.  As in, “I hated that movie, it was gay.”  Or “He was annoying me, so I told him to stop being so gay.”

Whenever she used the term, she would grimace and look to me and my boyfriend.  After a few slip-ups–and a few drinks–she started qualifying the statement.  “Gay with an ‘H,’” she would say.

The word “ghey” is actually in Wiktionary.

I’m generally an open-minded guy, and I wouldn’t say that I get offended too easily, but when people use the word “gay” synonymously with the word “lame,” I take offense.  I am gay…are you saying that I, too, am lame?

I’m offended that it’s become commonplace to use the word “gay” pejoratively.  I’m offended that good people–people that would never even think of throwing out a racial or religious slur–feel completely comfortable throwing out a homophobic one.

Am I being too touchy?

Since I was able to post this video, you can assume that I made it home safely.  I ended up kicking it in the parking lot for about 45 minutes or so before getting back on the road.

As always, here’s a picture of a kid using the naughty finger to help you get through your Monday.

If you ever once thought to yourself, “having diabetes wouldn’t be that bad,” I invite you to look at my blood glucose levels from the past week:

So your smug, “I could totally live without sugar!” bullshit might be true, but could you skip the sugar, limit your carbs and deal with incomprehensible highs and lows like those above?
