There hasn't been a lot going on of late for me. Things are good, chill and as relaxed as life possibly could be right now. I've been creating some excellent music and once again will be posting some fun pictures today.
After that, I've got to handle some building stuff, make some music and then take a nap.
Tonight: Working out with Jimmy. Don't be scared Jimmy...
It wont hurt: much.

What Love Is
Happy V-day everyone. These lyrics by Mary J. Blige sum up my feelins on what love is.
Get into it!!!
**What Love Is**
Mary J. Blige
mmmmm
beautiful, horrible, magical
terrible, reason to laugh and smile
reasons to cry yourself to sleep at night
Start a fight
make up, break up
wrong or right
heaven for all this world
cant equally be held right here on earth
and no one really knows anything about it
but everybody needs it
we cant live without it
and that's the way it goes
talk his day, bright his night
just some other thing you might
here, if you ask what love is like
and it feels like joy, and it feels like pain
and it feels like sunshine, feels like rain
an exuse for dying, reason to live
and if you dont know, that's what love is
love is
just a kiss, sweet correst
kiss the base, on your neck
argue untill my head
words I cant remember what you said
I'll screaming loud
dont know what we screaming about
so confuse, and yes it's true
but if it wasnt there
what would we do
and no one really knows anything about it
but everybody needs it
we cant live without it
and that's the way it goes
talk his day, bright his night
just some other thing you might
here, if you ask what love is like
and it feels like joy, and it feels like pain
and it feels like sunshine, feels like rain
an exuse for dying, reason to live
and if you dont know, that's what love is
love is
owwwww
That's love
anything that can bring you up or bring you down
That's love
in the sun up in your sky on the darkest clouds
That's love
and we need it
That's love
and we need it
That's love
Asking me body how it feels
and it feels like joy, and it feels like pain
and it feels like sunshine, feels like rain
an exuse for dying, reason to live
and if you dont know, that's what love is
love is
and it feels like joy, and it feels like pain
and it feels like sunshine, feels like rain
an exuse for dying, reason to live
and if you dont know, that's what love is
love is
owwww
that's it
Get into it!!!

Status Report.
It's been a while since I updated any personal info on my blog so today seems as good as any to do such that!
Currently, I'm sitting here half dressed getting ready to eat my DiGorno personal perppronni pizza. Just took a first bite and ouch it's still not ready to eat! Too hot!!
My apartment is dark because my curtins are drawn closed. I've been smoking pot and listening to the track I just completed this morning. It's hot as well.
Glad to hear on the news Mitt has dropped out of the presitdental race. One Republican down. Two more Republicans to go!
I've been working out (lifting weights/bike riding/basketball) hard as of late. I've been peparing for the Life Cycle here in California this June. I'm excited as heck and proud I'll being doing this ride. It's for a great cause and I hope to raise a ton of money. Don't be surprised if you recive an email from me really soon asking for your help!
I really want a puppy! Someone bring me a puppy!! A cute one. Boy or girl. Smart. No older than 6 months. A sheep dog of sorts! Please! Please! Please!
My photgraphs have been fun of late. Trust me, the best ones are still hidden!!
Yesterday I recived a card from Sargent Aaron over in Iraq. Thanks to him for that!!! I miss you baby and cant wait to have you home and back in USA!!
Today is Friday and I've not left my apartment yet. Soon, I'll have to run around my building and earn my keep.
After that I must tackle my kitchen because it's a freak'n mess in there.
Tonight: The gym and a long leg, arm, shoulder and ab workout. Dinner,TV and sleep. Feeling good today. Loving San Francisco and all is well from Apt 104. .
That sums up my status report.
Wishing Peace to Eveyone!!

Happy Chinese New Year: Rats rule 2008
Year of the Rat:The Rat (Chinese:鼠) was welcomed in ancient times as a protector and bringer of material prosperity. It is the first of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. Rat is associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities. The Year of the Rat is associated with the earthly branch symbol 子.
In Chinese, the word 鼠 may refer to either the rat or the mouse. Therefore, in this context, Year of the Mouse and Year of the Rat are interchangeable terms.

When you kick a man when he is down - do you realize that you are kicking yourself? Give him another kick - if you deserve it! - Why Lazurus Laughed by Wei Wu Wei

Go Giants!! Merry Super Bowl!!!!
I've always been a fan of the New York Giants.
The ride into this years Super Bowl has been a total and complete surprise. No one expected the Giants to get this far ...Not even me.
Today should be a great game and if not the commercials should be fun at the least.
Gotta love the Super Bowl Holiday here in the USA.

Buddhist Thought
Reality is all-encompassing: the absolute nature is one. Although we may feel separate from the original uncreated reality - whether we call it 'God,' 'peak experience,' or 'enlightened mind' - through awareness we can contact this essential part of ourselves. - Tarthang Tulku

Bush Admin Allows Yellowstone Area Wolf Slaughter - Act Now!
***Got this email today and thought I should pass it on!! If this is an issure thats important to you please, please cut and paste the link provided and sign the pention that will hopfully say to the Congress, Presidents and Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne that this rule change is unacceptable!! Thanks..dB***
Ignoring tens of thousands of citizens like you, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has just made it much easier to kill wolves in the Greater Yellowstone and Northern Rockies region -- wolves that still remain protected under the Endangered Species Act.
Take action now! Tell Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne that this rule change is just not right!
Wildlife officials will soon be able to shoot, trap and kill endangered wolves. Even those that wander from the safety of Yellowstone National Park and other protected areas could be killed.
This rule change allows officials to start killing wolves as soon as March. Please speak out today!
Here's what happened: Federal officials changed the so-called "10j" rule yesterday, lowering the bar for killing wolves in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. This terrible rule change opens the door to the slaughter of hundreds of endangered wolves in the Greater Yellowstone and Northern Rockies region.
The states would only need to prove that wolves are a "major cause" of the inability of elk and deer to meet state management goals. Wolves could be killed even if they only have an effect on how elk herds move or behave -- not just if they reduce herd numbers.
Write to Secretary Kempthorne to express your outrage today!
These wolves are still listed as "endangered" animals -- federal officials still have yet to decide whether to remove protections under the Endangered Species Act for wolves in the Greater Yellowstone region.
Our partners at Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund are leading the efforts to oppose this outrageous decision. We need your voice. Tell Secretary Kempthorne that you are outraged by this rule change!
Thank you for acting today to save wolves,

Renunciation is not getting rid of the things of this world, but accepting that they pass away.

The last few days had me feeling a bit sore emotionally.
I thought I had made a friend in Seth but things soured a couple days ago after I read a conversation he was having with a former buddy of mine we had hung out with a few nights previous.
My feelings were really hurt by the whole ordeal but today I'm feeling better about it all.
Losing two friends in the same day can suck but it's better I learned about they're behaviour now rather than months from now.
Sometimes gay men really suck (and not in the good, wet and fun way) and other time they really come through for one another. Last night that was my buddy Geoffrey. I wasn't happy at all and he came through with the Mary Jane Medicine Fund, burritto and ice cream!!! Thanks Geoffery!
Today is wet and rainy here in Fog City but my mood is bright this Friday morning. My lips have a slight smile again and feeling good has returned.

New Frontier
SYDNEY (AFP) - An Australian girl spontaneously switched blood groups and adopted her donor's immune system following a liver transplant in the first known case of its type, doctors treating her said Thursday.
Demi-Lee Brennan was aged nine and seriously ill with liver failure when she received the transplant, doctors at a top Sydney children's hospital told AFP.
Nine months later it was discovered that she had changed blood types and her immune system had switched over to that of the donor after stem cells from the new liver migrated to her bone marrow.
She is now a healthy 15-year-old, Michael Stormon, a hepatologist treating her, told AFP. Stormon said he had given several presentations on the case around the world and had heard of none like it.
"It is extremely unusual -- in fact we don't know of any other instance in which this happened," Stormon told AFP from the Children's Hospital.
"In effect she had had a bone marrow transplant. The majority of her immune system had also switched over to that of the donor."
An article on the case was published in Thursday's edition of the leading US medical journal The New England Journal of Medicine.
Doctors who treated Brennan say she is now only under treatment as an outpatient and are interested to know if the case could have other applications in transplant surgery, where rejection of donor organs by the recipient's immune system is a major hurdle.
Stormon said it appeared that Brennan may have been fortunate because a "sequence of serendipitous events", including a post-transplantation infection, may have given the stem cells from her donor's liver the chance to proliferate.
The task now was to establish whether the same sort of outcome could be replicated in other transplant patients, he said.

Anymore Honor?
Is there no honor even among friends anymore?
Are we all truly just living islands getting in each others way?
I know in cities that have large populations of gay men that eventually friends, lovers and fuck buddies will meet up for sex, friendship and even possible relationships.
SF is not that large of place and I know my friends will fuck my other friends. Exboyfriends will fuck other ex's of mine. Current tricks of mine will fuck former tricks of mine. I've seen it too many times to be shocked anymore and it never bothers me when it's done by accident or circumstance (ie: sex party, 3ways.. etc).
However, there does seem to be that special sort of gay guy who thinks doing things like this on purpose is OK and totally acceptable.
What's up with that shit?
I don't get it ...Nor do I wanna.
Does the word honor even have meaning any longer?
