My world, welcome to it!


LIFE'S TOO SHORT. You could go out tomorrow and get hit by a bus, for God's sake!. And would you want your last thought to be an angry one? Your last impression to be a malicious one? Love each other. Love yourselves. Today is a gift; that's why they call it the present.


So many people to thank, so many people to congratulate, so many people to mock. And not necessarily in that order. Of course, my mother did say, if you can't say anything nice, come sit next to me...or was it don't put it in your mouth if you don't know where it's been? Whatever....But relax--if you don't see your name here, it doesn't mean I don't love you...oh, wait, yeah it does.

Mr and Miss Gay

MAXXX POWER: You came out and did the work before you hit the stage and that helped you all year.  You  were ambitious and creative and it showed, from drag to High  School Musical!  You should be very proud of a job well done!

LA LA BOTTOME: You clearly love being on stage and you have a fiercely creative mind! You brought new and entertaining ideas to the table and we got puppies and other furries, great themes and fun shows!  Always remember, you are not alone,  and your community will help when you ask! Congratulations on your year!

JASON&WHITNEY: Just  15 more years and  drag shows will be a family event!  In the meantime, we've got brunches, rides to work,  and suppers to enjoy  while we adore and mock your kid in equal measure!

JOELLE: Now that you've gotten your feet wet,  you'll have to come for one of our big shows sometime!

GIRTH BROOKS: As it turns out, despite my rants, it's a good thing you took this up! We know what you have in you--we've seen it in parades, on stage, at Access 7; you're amazing!


GLCR:  I can only hope that the need for community that fostered the inception of this wonderful organization will continue to motivate LGBTQ* people to keep us going for another 45 years.

QUEEN CITY PRIDE: I love you and hate you by turn. Jesse Ireland, you are Pride and I can’t imagine any of the success of this organization without you! Please be kind to your elders, support the people who don’t have any money and never give up—we’re a lucky bunch in the Queen City but the struggle is still happening.

RSAR- such a vital part of Regina's GLBT community. Without you, this community would have closed up shop back in ‘94, and now here we are, 26 years of good works under our belt.

HUGS:  Mick, Len, Eggsy, Harry, Dean, Cas, Harvey, Mike, Steve, Danny, Neal, Peter, Sherlock, John, Ianto, Jack, Blair, Jim, Giles, Spike, Lex, Clark, Fox, Walter....
KUDOS: Anyone who found their way to Sunday brunch or TV night. Thanks, you make me feel special; Online friends and fans, you are my support system and I couldn't do any of it without you--I really am that internet success story; all out of town guests who make Regina more beautiful by virtue of their presence and home town folks who do the same; God Bless you all....


UPDATE: Congratulations Mr Gay Regina 28:


There's more and more after that, and I'd probably go on and on if I wasn't so old and tired. And besides, all that online porn won't read itself!


Oh, and don't forget:

In my world, the coffee is strong as death, black as hell and sweet as love (and always made by Ianto Jones). Fox Mulder is always just as close as my dvdplayer, Slow Motion Walter is always more than just a blues song, and the Gunmen always visit on Friday. Bunnies and bears always frolic in my living room, Blair Sandburg is always the bottom, there is always a next Sunday, everything's Benedict and nothing hurts, and finally, the Blanches are always shaken, never stirred.

That's enough to be going on with, don't you think?
