Lance Bass is gay. When I read the article online I thought to myself ‘Wow. How cool is that? Someone who based their career on being a pop-music heartthrob to millions of teenage girls had the courage to come out of the closet.’ Career (or what’s left of it) be damned. I was awed, although not really surprised at his revelation.

Then I read a little bit further down… “He is in a “very stable” relationship with model-actor-Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuhl, 32, [sidenote: total freaking hottie!] and is developing an Odd Couple-inspired sitcom pilot with [Nsync bandmate Joey] Fatone in which his character will be gay.” Thankfully for Lance, the acting won’t be too much of a stretch… unless of course, he’s a playing a top.

so to begin the first few phases of preparing to launch the music (after i get a living arrangement situated), i made this forum thing from hyperboards.

http://arcaneaddiction.hyperboards.com/index.php

i don’t know if you may indulge in it or not, but my idea/concept was to see whom would partake in the opportunity to try it out and be a member of it. seeing as i’m organically grown from the burbs of portland, i’d share it as a means to be more interactive. i wouldn’t expect anyone to register, but if you do, that would be awesome. it’s not only for the musical aspect of things, but it dives into many deeper levels when posts come about.

feel free to ask questions on it or write anything you please, as much as you would here on the gayportland blog. i expect to give back to a community that i belong to (in technical terms), and also just plain out give.

i’ll have another blog entry to follow that is not related or based upon this one sometime in the next few days or so. i have some more evidence to build up before i present my case. i’ll drop a hint for now, it involves gay people, at least, haha! caio until the next post!

persistence should be a virtue for many regardless of where we stand at in life.  you see people who are beyond successful or popular.  you see people who feel more accomplished.  they allowed themselves to be persistent.

for most people, often, persistence can shoot you in the foot.  it’s a balance of swords, daggers, and knives.  the right sets will keep you in place, but one mistake can be harmful or fatal without warning.  as immediate as you let on to believe.

in my case, persistence is like a virus wanting to live, but it has side effects that stop you in your tracks.  conditions, feelings, instincts.  perspectives skewed, communications lacking quality, quantity, or in an overall matter, a strong connection.  in terms of user-end agreement, i accept the long distance charges.  if it’s going to help me live my life, so be it.

for those of you who may disbelieve the idea of persistence, it’s a value you should learn, but also to justify what persistence is like, do not overuse it like an ingredient in your after-dinner dessert, because you’ll be losing the pure flavor you intend on having.  this is especially important in such ideas and ideals as gay marriage.  MANY homosexuals are not aware of how far they are taking things and how strongly they fuck themselves in their own ass regardless top, bottom, versatile, or the in-betweens, for how they are presenting their case like a judge judy trial.  she is one rough bitch, but she will tell you straight to your face whether or not she believes you, and she will make it apparent if you are dumbfounded or just a straight up liar… i’d tell every homo i had the chance to tell that they really do not have a clue that they all are doing the hit-and-miss game.  they get some points across but mostly they don’t, which comes to giving them wounds that heal, but how they wish to treat the wounds is their decision.  there almost is no true cooperation.  organized leaders in the groups, cults, religions, sects, communities… anything you wish to associate by “label”, they all need one.  it is not god, not buddha, not the lord jesus christ, satan, muhammed, fucked-up-in-the-head president george w. bush, or the mayor of los angeles… it is each and every individual supervised under the power of one or such.

this is where persistence pays off, to have leaders who know the game plan, who can take the game by the controller and lead to a victory.

this is how i see everyone’s persistence will pay off, and as well in turn, mine is due to pay off.  it is only a matter of time before people ultimately realize this is a source from within that will unlock many doors that they all need to see ultimately to their end.  they hold the key, so they’re responsible for their own doors.  sometimes, they’re responsible for others’.

hope this gives you some insight as much as i’ve had it for a few days and decided to share.

I went to Pastini Pastaria  at the Bridgeport mall and found it to be quite nice I had the “FUSILLI ALLA ROMA” a fresh corkscrew pasta tossed with grilled chicken sun-dried tomatoes mushrooms and roasted garlic in a parmesan cream sauce, wow what a treat the food was good and the service was on the quick side. I found the beer to be ice could and the food was hot I will call this a “good eats” Place

so i’m going to participate in this a little more often soon as things kind of get squared away here. i returned from months of hiatus from salem oregon to come back to my “birth cradle” and now that i’m working on getting a place to live, i’ll participate when possible here.

so for starters, i enjoy portland because portland is the shit, no doubt about it. some day our fair city will be the excellent city and we’ll have people migrating from across the globe who want to live here, and they’ll contribute to our economy in the most proper of ways. this is opinion and this is fact… but which seems more logical to you?

you, the readers get to ponder this. now that i just joined up on this, you will get to see some insights from not only myself but the other people who post here too. tag teaming posts will be fun! haha!

by the way, i gotta go to the bars a little more often and tease men who hit on me. it’s fun because you know you’re not going home with them when you’re stubborn. all it takes is purchasing a beer, sitting down in one place and not moving from it. don’t dance or do nothing. be eye candy, and if you get hit on a lot or get sexual favors offered, politely turn them down and remember you are eye candy, not an in-house service! this is why i enjoy going to bars if i feel like it. more fun facts. enjoy. thank you for the one who drew me to this, you know who you are!

A German inventor says he’s found a way to make cheap diesel fuel out of dead cats…http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1534821.html

NO… not that cat …

This is just an introductory post to a new category called, for now: “gay life… from rants to raves”. I have taken the liberty of pasting (in comments) some comments on a gay pride topic that were entered on a former blog. Of course everyone is welcome to comment on this post, but it is really meant to launch a new category with the real message being to encourage YOU to REGISTER with the blog so that you can be given “author” status to publish your OWN posts… on which others can comment. Nor do your posts have to be associated with any current category (the defult is UNcat)… the categories are merely for house-keeping, and to help satisfy sambach’s penchant for organization:). Registration takes only a second, and is totally non-compromising.

More people posting will encourage even more to comment and to post!… like organisims feeding and breeding on/with one another… well, edit that but you know what i mean…. and greater participation will contribute to a more relaxed environment where stuff posted does not stand out like blood in the snow… like a turd in the fog:)

Soooo… Register now… and happy posting/commenting!

How often do you read online messages… both in IRC/Chat and on message boards and see these acronyms that you have no idea what they mean? Many people are clued into things like LOL, ROFL (and variants ROTFL and ROTFLMAO), but what about IAC? IANAL? ISTR? MRD? Even the Acronym Finder doesn’t have the last one as used in chat.

Now, if everything is working, if you move your mouse over any of the acronyms above, you should see “bubble help” with the spelled out version, if you browser supports such things, but MRD may be a little confusing.

Mandy Rice-Davies was famous in Britain for having (supposedly) had an affair with Lord Astor during the “Profumo Affair”. When told that Lord Astor denied even meeting her, she retorted, “Well, he would, wouldn’t he?” In some circles, MRD is used as a response to being told what some third party said meaning that it was said in one’s own self-interest, regardless of whether it is true or not… adjust the pronouns (’he’) as necessary to fit the situation: The cigarette companies have said smoking does not cause cancer? MRD!

Other confusing acronyms? List them here!
