Day 1 / Disclaimer

Part 1: Get peoples attention

I am a very big fan of Dan Savage. Frankly the reward of listening to his podcasts is frequently the reason I am able to come to work everyday. When you work at a computer the mind can wander greatly. I was listening today to episode 144, for the keeners out there, and this woman said that she likes to tie her BF up to kitchen appliances. The odd thing about it though was that was not what she was calling about; she said it like one might in regular conversation. This to me stirs up the image of this women at MacDonald’s propositioning the staff to let her tie them up to the deep fryer, like those kids aren’t greasy enough already. As a big fan of the show I have always wanted to call in but if ever I am as retarded as some of these people please have the decency to shoot me. It amazes me how bat shit crazy people can be, which I admittedly should not be too surprised about since I fall in that category, and it amazes me that these people are the ones that sit next to you on the bus, or movie theater ... So next time you go the mall ask yourself ... Does the women in front of me like to shove squirrels up her nose for the sexual thrill? Does the old guy sitting on the bench all day like to get kicked in the junk? ... Maybe give him a kick to find out.

Part 2: What the fuck am I doing!?

I had a bit of a what the fuck am I doing moment while I was making this mostly due to the fact that I ... Frankly, did not wake up this morning thinking I would start a blog. I was talking with my friend Val and she said she was starting one and I thought it would be cool (Oh yeah, writing out all your inner most thoughts on the internet WHAT COULD GO WRONG!?) so basically here we are. Another reason that made me believe that this could work is that I have just finished reading Lewis Black's "I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas" in which he describes, as a Jew, how the Christmas season has effected him and his life and while reading it I was amazed at how personal, frank, and open he was about his insecurities and the humor in which he frames the situations that he is in. I actually greatly admired the book and unable to watch some of his TV specials because I think I am getting short changed by not getting any hints of him as a broader human being.

Part 3: Disclaimer

So as for the disclaimer part I will say that this is an R-rated blog ... Meaning I will swear TASTEFULLY ... As much as I fucking want to ... This blog will deal with sexuality issues as well as my personal issues, and believe me you don't start a blog called Ramblings of a Gay Spaz without having issues, but it is my hope that this will all be framed in a light hearted and comedic way.
