Amusements: Star Date Log 15-5-2012

Is it easier now? There are a lot more of the anonymous worlds where Narnians and other creatures of the wardrobe can purr and play?

Yes, sometimes we wonder when we wake up if the happy surprise will finally arrive. Will he finally send that stray text or email that will lead to something wonderful. We wish, not too much, but just with a whiff to send us off our day.

We Heart It

We note, wryly and sometimes with a hint of dread, how wicked hope pumps us with anticipation.....

We've had enough false starts to know better and many bated breaths to invest too much..... Enough already. Days that buoy up like helium sheathed in primary colored latex. Days that turn up and then just as easily turn leaden with pins and needles.

Tuesday Night Dinners: Cheese!

Here's one cheesy bit of oldie. Nice though, such a comfort food for the soul.

Good Endings (2)

I'm no American lover. But it is undisputed: The United States is at the head of its game--- power, economy, technology, culture, music, art and trend.

It is opening doors again---maybe for good or ill. It is not the first country to recognize same sex unions. But it the first country---that matters---which has taken on this potentially divisive issue. The Bill of Rights, women's liberation, racial equality and now, and hopefully, a magna carta for the marginalized lovers.

Please, please engage your constituents. Stir the debates and consciousnesses. Please vote to break the oppressive rules, to cross and to erase exclusionary boundaries and to tear down the Berlin Walls that hem us all in the dark ages.

Feral

What was I thinking.

I knew it was risky.

I knew it would provoke something.

I wasn't thinking.

I was just lurking, I couldn't help it.

I was stalking him in the shadows of the car.

I was addicted on the sight of him.

Then he saw me.

Oh, Bernardo

Your rims are solid, sure and hot. Can I take a bite now?

Guys Next Door

Winter Warmth

Winter is coming.

Bring in the body heat, dammit!

Happy Green News

Here's one happy news about the environment. I hope they work on our estero soon, it can stink to high heavens sometimes. 

 ===============

"Like the vital arteries in the body’s cardiovascular system, the esteros or estuaries of old Manila enabled the city to breathe, carrying the clean waters of the Pasig River into the city’s limbs and extensions. The clear, moving waters of the esteros were as blood to the old city, reflecting its vibrant character. But the last century has been cruel to Manila, especially so to the esteros, even as the city became part of the larger and dynamic entity that is Metro Manila. Uncontrolled development, the migration of informal settlers drawn to the promise of the city lights, and the inaction/collusion of responsible officials have transformed the esteros into foul-smelling and unmoving canals clogged with all manner of garbage.

What was once the city’s natural way of cleansing itself became a source of disease, reflecting the urban blight holding the metropolis in its grip.
