My birthday was very nice. Friends put a lot of effort into it and it turned out to be a gay ‘ol time. I got some gag gifts – “Gliding Jesus” action figure, an entire bottle of “Rimming Syrup” and a kitty-launching gun. The food was fantastic, and the cake was quite [...]
Past the quarter century mark
14 Comments Published by SparklesMpls March 29th, 2005 in AutobiographicalGood lord, yes, I’ve turned 26 today. Thanks, Jim, for announcing that to the world. I am at work today. Saw my shrink this morning. AA meeting this evening and then gathering with friends afterwards.
I don’t feel that much older, but the thought of turning 30 at this point [...]
… as a former bed-wetter. Yep, you read that right. I wet the bed every night until I was 8 years old.
For as far back as I can remember there was a plastic sheet that wrapped around my twin mattress. Laying down on my bed or turning from side to [...]

Rural Minnesota school shooting
5 Comments Published by SparklesMpls March 22nd, 2005 in In the newsWow. It’s a sad day. Some kid, 17 years old, shot and killed his grandparents, then went to school in his grandfather’s police squad car, opened fire, killed 7 others (teacher, security guard and students), then killed himself after injuring more than 10 others. Per capita, his rampage was more damaging than the Columbine [...]
You’re probably asking yourself, “Who is Pat O’Brien?” He’s one of the stars of Entertainment Tonight and an anchor on The Insider.
I wish him well. I’m glad that he came out publicly about it and issued a statement instead of trying to hide it. But who knows – he may [...]
The blog is back online again, as is Jim’s.
Here’s a brief synopsis of the stages I’ve gone through since discovering my site was offline:
1. Panic
2. Double-panic – it wasn’t just my blog that was down – other sites were down, too.
3. Triple-panic – the entire contents of my server had been deleted, and [...]
Rosie has a blog. I thought it was a hoax, too, but apparenlty it’s true – she claims it’s her’s as stated in this NYT article.
The blog is made up entirely of lyric-like poems about her life. Very odd – almost seems a bit disturbing.
Her latest entry is below, dated March [...]
