“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F.

And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #3 - If I Had Only Known

I'm turning on my headphones, and currently listening to... 

Reba McEntire


I was reading something about Reba as Ryan was walking out the door this morning, when he tells me, "I love you bunches."

Along with Dolly Parton, I have loved Reba since the beginning of time, and I don't know one gay boy who has never heard of this amazing artist.  Her songs are poignant, long lasting and heart enduring.  She wrote, "If I had Only Known" back in 1991 when she lost 8 of her band members in a plane crash.  It was such a heartbreaking time for her, and the rest of us who adored her so much.

Not one day goes by that I do not let Ryan know how much I love him.  You've heard me say it many times before, "he is the greatest treasure I have ever found."  I never want to say that "If I had only known," or that if today was the last day I'd see him, that I would have done things differently, because I have done everything any loving person could ever do.  And yes, I have tears running down my cheeks as I write this - it's because He is my happiness, He is my joy!

:(........

I just love and miss you so much. Thank you so much for your wonderful blog, my love. I'm sorry it took me so long to find this. I remember crying in your arms the first time I heard it. A part of me knows that if I ever lost you one day, I would somehow find the strength to go on, but after listening to this song I wonder if I truly do have the ability to only live on this earth as an incomplete person. Part of my body, a piece of my soul, but all of my heart, would be gone forever without you. I just love you so much. Please don't ever leave me. Please just always be okay.

:(....................

I wanted to catch up more on your blogs, but I'll have to do it later. I need to come to bed and be with you. I miss you too much and I never want to say, one day, "If I'd only known......."
