i have been rereading "intimate journal," by nicole brossard. so much to chew on here, and so many good lessons concerning how to begin the act of uncovering the soil of heterosexist construct in order to begin inventing or reinventing a sense of the self outside the constraints of simple unity. i suspect this work much more difficult for straight men because there is so...

hey, thanks for the comment on my set 
i lurk on the hopefuls and the rejected sc groups. i've found it interesting to follow the topics, and i learn a lot about this site as well as the members. however, lately i've been viewing the second chance sunday album and i've come to understand how difficult it must be to choose sets. certainly not all the sets that have been rejected are terrific;...

last night he brought a toy with him.
out of the past. i watched this film a couple nights ago. it documents the struggles of kelli peterson and other students in salt lake city. these high school students began a gay straight alliance club at east high school. none of them understood the ramifications of this decision. i won't give up any more. but what makes this film so useful is that it...

check out my writing at: http://whyvandalism.kiwibeak.com/issues.html. the first two pieces are mine. it's cool to be in this new ejournal. i think it's going to be a cool site for experimental writing.
today i heard from the editor of a new online journal, "why vandalism?" that they have taken two of my prose poems "this is the true story of the mens room their being no love here.," and "enola gay drops her bomb and love clubs the world to death./violence is love the bomb which is never true.," for inclusion in their first issue due out...

Congratulations! That's so cool! You should post your poems so I can read them, or at least send them my way!

my friend and i had just watched the L word when she started talking about a conversation she and her ex-girlfriend had had about animals and stds. (this actually arose out of my question about lesbian safe sex practices.) evidently animals don't spread stds, don't even have such diseases. she said even in primates there's none. and, as she pointed out, they fuck about anything anywhere, anytime, etc. her point was that we wore clothes, that we didn't let our bodies naturally attend to themselves. also that we were too "civilized" and had probably lost the capacity to prevent such contagion. it was intriguing. i mentioned how i thought much of the problem might have arisen from our fear of pleasure, how the church (you can nearly pick which one) had convinced us that we were shameful if/when we enjoyed pleasure. and that sex was only permitted under the sanctity of marriage. thus we learned to equate pleasure (especially sexual pleasure outside of marriage) with shame and with the conviction that we deserved to catch something, we deserved to suffer, even die. much too simple really, but it was quite a conversation.
