Work!!!

That's all I have to say. WORK!

Repeal Prop 8!

I just signed a pledge to repeal Prop 8 and I thought you might be interested in joining me and over 100,000 Courage Campaign members across California.

We have to come together right now to say that we refuse to accept a California where discrimination is enshrined in our state constitution.

Please sign the "Repeal Prop 8" pledge now and forward this to your friends as soon as possible:

Thanks!

30th Birthday - Part 2

Here are pictures from my Birthday Party that happened on Sunday, October 26th. Thank you to everyone who came out. Turning Dirty 30 wasn't that bad after all. Also thank you to Andrew for "filling in" and taking all these photos.

Well Put

It's Not Over

Proposition 8 as of right now seems like it will pass. Those who were in favor thought that once this passed it will be enough said about same-sex marriage here in California.

Unfortunately for them it is not. This is the new Civil Rights Movement and we will do everything we can to make sure that everyone is treated fairly. We are just going to get stronger and louder.

I am asking all of you to do the following:

Reopen prop 8 for CA, please visit and sign: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/seg5130/petition.html

Call (916) 657-2166 and tell the Secretary of State they MUST count ALL the ballots!! (PLEASE HELP!!)

Let's not let hatred, bigotry and discrimination against a group of people stand or even be put into our constitution.

Please support me and many of my friends who voted and were in support on No on 8. Let's continue the fight!!!

Our Next President

Change is Finally Here!

Election Day!

Today is a very important day in American History as we choose a new president. In addtion in California many propositions are on the ballot including Prop 8 which eliminates the right for same sex couples to marry.

Long lines are expected - which is what I came upon this morning. I had to wait an hour and a half to vote but I'm glad I did. Make your voice heard - Go out and Vote.

P.S. Vote No on Hate and Vote NO on 8.

Halloween

I spent Halloween with friends at Carnival in West Hollywood. It was a wild night with so many people walking the streets on Santa Monica Blvd. I was dressed as Diego from Go Diego Go - a friend of Dora the Explorer. I was recognized by the little ones especially this little girl who was dressed as a fairy was screaming to her mom - Mama, mama - It's Diego!!!

My final destination of the night was Java Detour where I met up with Brian, et. al. Below are some photos from the night. Enjoy!

Protestors

Tonight I went out to dinner with Trevor, Andrew, and Reginald. We went to one of the restaurants in West Hollywood on Santa Monica Blvd. I can't remember the name it was some frenchie type name so I can't recall.

Anyhow, we were having a great conversation and we noticed a bunch of No on 8 supporters gathering on a corner to promote No on 8. It was great until there were Yes on 8 supporters driving by in a couple vans.

Well one of the funniest things I heard while they were chanting No on 8 came from a group at a neighboring restaurant yelling "No on Straight - No on 8" in unison with the No on 8 chants. This cracked me up.

Straight, Gay, or whatever you may be discriminating against a group of people is unfair. Make sure to vote No on 8 on Tuesday.

No on H8te!!!

We are one week away from elections and there is a lot of decisions that are going to be made. One importation decision here in California is Proposition 8.

Proposition 8 is to amend the state constituion to define marriage between one man and one woman. A lot of propaganda is going around. Those who are in favor of proposition 8 is using children to scare people to vote yes.

Unfortuantely, the tactics are misleading and not true. I had asked my teacher friends whether they teach marriage or in the curriculum that is required is there a mention of marriage. All of them said no.

Proposition 8 is about discrimination and hate. If two people who love each other want to confirm their love through marriage. Let them be. What is the harm? What if you were not allowed to be with the one you love. How would that feel?

Two good friends of mine got married on 8/8/08.

I would hate for their marriage be reversed because of this proposition.

Please do not believe in the propaganda that the Yes on 8 have produced. Vote no on hate - Vote NO on 8.

Girl Can Dance!

I was sent this video randomly and this girl CAN dance. I wish I could move like her when I was her age. Heck I wish I could move like her now.

Birthday Week

I had a great birthday week with the culmination at the Bungalow Club last night. Thank you to everyone for your birthday wishes and to those of you who came out and celebrated with me.

It meant a lot to hear and be with friends as I turned Dirty 30.

My Endorsement

With the elections quickly approaching I have finally chosen a candidate that I will be supporting. Join me with a vote for this candidate.

More Watermelon for Everyone . . .

I've been going to my chiropractor since June and they recently started sending out a newsletter. There was something in the newsletter that caught my eye and that I wanted to share with everyone about watermelons.

Like berries, watermelon is loaded with phytochemicals, including lycopene, beta-carotene and citrulline. When citrulline is consumed it is converted to arginine. Arginine is an amino acid that has beneficial effects on the heart and circulatory system, as well as the immune system. Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, leading to another beneficial side benefit of watermelon . . . a Viagra-like effect without the hazards of a toxic drug.

Can't get Viagra - eat a watermelon slice. hahaha.

Dirty 30 - Part 1

Yesterday was my 30th birthday and with it falling on a Wednesday I couldn't do anything too wild. So a couple friends and myself went out for a couple drinks. A couple became a lot and I did end up yacking. So much for not doing anything wild, right?

Anyhow thanks to Andrew, Olaf, Melissa, Pinay, Eric, Jay (Juan, Junior, whatever), Eduardo, Peter, Dutch, Trevor, Jessica and everyone else who came out to have a drink with me.

Highlight of the night - besides hanging out with friends was meeting Tabatha from Salon Take Over and Shear Genius.

Below are some photos from last night. Part 2 is happening on Sunday.

Two More Days . .

Two more days and I turn the Big 3-O. In the meantime - Happy Birthday to my mom!

Filipinos are Yummy

So I was supposed to go on vacation in Spain but unfortunately due to my work schedule I wasn't able to go. Sucks, huh? I'm glad that Andrew, Leia, and Gwen had a good time.

Before Andrew left I was wondering what could he bring back from Spain for me. I actually heard that Filipinos is a dessert in Spain and he was able to locate some.

A couple days after he came back he had the pleasure of bringing me to the Emergency Room at Cedars. If you don't know what happened read the earlier posts.

Anyhow, he had given me these and I finally ate one of the packages yesterday. They are chocolated coated cookies in the shape of O's. They're pretty good but it's just weird that it is called Filipinos. It's like having a dessert named Chinese, Mexican, Canadian, etc.

Jam With Me

Enjoy these songs. Jam with me . . .

Running at Night is Hazardous to My Health

For those of you know I still have my sprained wrist but at least I'm back and running. Here we are and it's a Tuesday night and I needed to get a 3 miler in. Going down 6th Street I almost had a repeat of last Wednesday. Almost a week later.

I tripped and almost fell but I caught myself and didn't fall. Whew!!! I didn't want a repeat visit to Cedars Sinai.

I did get a good look at the sidewalk and it is probably the same piece of concrete that made me fall and sprain my wrist. I probably will need to change my route if I have to run at night. No more running on 6th street. I'll figure a different route.
