Guys, Charlie and i both love getting a months worth of tummy-friendly treats, new toys, and large chews for a great (low!) price.
Each box has a great theme (that a dog named for RuPaul loves), and the toys are all super high quality.
Sign up today and you'll get a free month (and so will Chuckles!).

Best drag show in Ybor City this Saturday?
"The No. 1 rule is: Donât. Take. Life. Too. Fucking. Seriously. That is the No. 1 rule. I learned it early on and, initially, I was really heartbroken because I was taking life seriously. I couldnât believe that my parents and people could be so cruel and so heartless. For a sweet, sensitive soul, there are stages of the evolution . . . once you uncover lifeâs cruel hoax, you become angry and you become mad as hell and then you become bitter. And then you become very cynical. Unfortunately, most sweet, sensitive souls stay in the bitterness and the cynicism. But the next level beyond thatâif you can go beyond thatâis laughter and irreverence . . . you can laugh, you can dance, you can seek out the places where you can blossom and expand, because you wonât get tied down to what other people have to say about what youâre doing."

I'm so glad Gus let us chat.
Thoroughly enjoyed "Champion," an opera in Jazz based on the real life experiences of a 50's champion welterweight fighter who just so happened to be queer... And killed a man in the ring. http://m.kennedy-center.org/home/event/orosd

Moonday -- sleep in, wash stuff.

My scooter tires are supposed to do great in snow. I did not intend to find out today.
Will someone come over and do a little yoga practice for me? I'm sleepy and lazy and still want all the benefit. Thanks in advance. zzzz
I'm a small cog in a big wheel, but: is it time to give up cell phones & smart appliances? (My screen is cracked and my dishwasher is broke, so it might save me some coin)
Had sardines and an avocado for lunch (while thinking of you, of course).
Selfie.

Inside each and everyone of us is a beautiful soundless sound.
To my soul, it sounds like freedom. Free of suffering. Play the song, play the song.
Clear and resonant.

Must be nice to not need an iPhone, what with that fancy office and computer you have...
at taxpayer's expense.
Please, tell me how much I don't need my smartphone (as a self-employed individual without an office.)
Don't worry, it's still a 5s. I'm waiting for the 8. Just like I'm waiting for universal health care/affordable care for all of our citizens.
Don't be shocked if I get the phone first.

Word. Except sometimes men.
A follow up/ companion piece to the article on gay loneliness. This rings true to this reader-- but I'm left with a curious quarrel-- does it all boil down to privledged folks using privledge to get ahead and feeling the sting of its effects?:
"In the community, we have a name for these people: âA-gays." They enforce the social rules of a certain kind of urban gay space, implicitly or sometimes explicitly excluding other types of gays (and almost all queer people) who donât fit their strange standards. They are the donors and board members of the big gay nonprofits, the setters of the mainstream gay agenda.
Crucial to understanding the A-gays is seeing their cultural and economic complicity in the systems that both benefit them and, ironically, make them feel miserable. Please do not misunderstand: No one is responsible for suicide or mental illnessâthese are both complex phenomena that deserve to be addressed regardless of whoâs experiencing them. But part of taking a problem seriously is understanding where it comes from. If Iâm rolling my eyes at Hobbesâ piece, itâs not for lack of sympathy; itâs just the same way I might roll my eyes at an article about miserable hedge fund managers that didn't interrogate their exploitative profession and the way it might contribute both to their sadness and their privilege."

I was asleep at 7:30pm on Friday. Woke up briefly at 10:30-- and made the executive decision to go back to sleep.
There is snow and ice on my scooter. We ain't in Goa anymore, I reckon.

There is unlimited potential for solidarity, connection, and compassion inside of each and every one of us. The loneliness you feel, the sorrow of disconnection, is the inner voice telling you to plug in and wake up. Might I recommend Ashtanga yoga? It's very simple and incredibly effective. DCASHTANGA.COM
