I’m of the mindset that if I listen to “Love In The Club” enough I can change the world.
For my first act as a newly single guy (sigh, again) I will go see SATC with the only girl that wants to hang out with me, I guess.

Gay couple asked to leave baseball game
“And he (the security guard) goes ‘there’s a lady whose son says he saw you guys making out, and I did, too. And you have to stop.’ And I said ‘well, we weren’t making out, but we were kissing and I’m not going to stop,’” said Guerrero. The security guard then said, “The mom doesn’t want to explain to the kids why two girls are kissing.” Guerrero said, “So I said ‘well, I’m not going to stop, so...

“I never felt like there was an unconscious part of me around that woke up or that came out of the closet; there wasn’t a struggle, there wasn’t an attempt to suppress. I met this woman, I fell in love with her, and I’m a public figure.” (NYMAG) • On Oprah, the talk-show maven asked her how it was possible to fall in love with someone of the same gender for the first time.

Ten years ago I was: Getting ready to graduate from the eight grade (middle school) with Presidential Honors. There was an ice cream social, a certificate “signed” by Bill Clinton, and the big move up the hill from middle school to high school. I was excited about the summer (mowing lawns) and terrified of training for freshman soccer (a 2 mile timed run?!) Five things on today’s...
Top 5 songs about New York City
artistspaid:newspeedwayboogie: Subjective, of course. Except for Stevie. Up on muxtape now: NYC Songs 5. Central Park N West - Ian Hunter Dylan wrote about Greenwich Village, Velvets about scoring dope on 125th, Ramones about Rockaway Beach. But the twisted mind of Ian Hunter wrote about … the upper west side? For that alone (“I think it’s the best, when I’m locked in the middle of New York...

I'd like to thank all of you that make Muxtape...
I got through my afternoon at work with the helpful audio of these two muxtapes on repeat… I found this Muxtape of MashUps on my dashboard somewhere. It was meant to be. After three repeats I went back to the main Muxtape page and settled on Shark because I thought that was a kickass name for a Muxtape. It’s also a kickass Muxtape.

marco: During a fund-raiser in Denver, Obama —a former constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School — was asked what he hoped to accomplish during his first 100 days in office. “I would call my attorney general in and review every single executive order issued by George Bush and overturn those laws or executive decisions that I feel violate the constitution,” said Obama. ...

thumbwrestlinginbaltimore: (via kissingsuzykolber) (an excerpt) So I’m not going to let a simple thing like the fact that I lost get in the way of continuing this battle. I was born a fighter. My mother once said I kicked so hard in the womb that the walls of her uterus were punctured. And, by golly, I will stay a fighter. Now, I’ve heard lots of naysayers say things like, “She doesn’t have...

If another dictator takes over, the first item on his agenda is turning your head into a bird feeder for his guest house. If democracy breaks out, sooner or later the mob will want to execute you for crimes against humanity. As a tyrant, your only rational strategy is continued brutal...

Email from my Grandma
Dear Peter, So much going on since we got home from Scotland that I am just now thanking you for the Mother’s Day good wishes you sent. You are really creative. That’s probably why ___________ hired you! One of the pictures was you up on the roof of a building. What was that about? And the other looked like you had a black eye and a bloody nose. Want to explain? The one...
