Working and moving without going no where.

From my Myspace Blog

So I have reached the home stretch and now I know why it is called a stretch...

because it feels like a stretch...

it pulls like a stretch...

it requires an effort and a stretch in order to reach the end.

I've been blessed in my life, my opportunities and my experiences. The people I've met, the places I've seen, the ones I've loved and the one's I have lost. California and the military have been good for me but it is time to move on. I am at a turning point where looking back helps me look forward and moving forward brings me home. I plan to take this life and experience and take everything from it I can the good and the bad. This summer is at its last leg and I can say I've celebrated about 2weeks and a weekend. Sacrifice and Obligation have taken me away from me, my passion, my family and my friends, but I make the sacrifice today to make it all the more worth it tomorrow.

As I prepare to embark on a new chatper I know there will be trials and struggle and pain. I accept and look forward to what is too come because though one chapter has come close to an end and one close to a begining I know there are many chapters left in my life. Unless there is a higher plan that would cut this journey short, at least I know I have lived, died, laughed and cried.

To my next chapter...

What have we become...

Posted

One site of this and my stomach turned...

(The following quote is a copy of the mission statement of one migente group)

"this is a site for masculine gay men not for any broken wrist finger snapping homos that wreck our culture and give us a bad name and stereotypes all gay men as that!!!!!! this is a site for real masculine gay men who love masculine men not for men who feel like a woman and desire the love of a real man not that i'm hating it's just that my perogative and i keep it real like the man i was raised to be so for those who are real come thru and those who are not i'll be watching!!!!! just one thing respect each other and keep it gully thats all!!!!!"

What have we become to cast judgment on ourselves in such a manner? Why is it important to use stereotype and insult? We have enough going against us as gay, lesbian, transgendered, bisexual, etc. Who do we turn to when we turn against ourselves?

What am I arguing about???

Why can't the argument be about a preference and not the further alienation or diminishing of the diversity of our community? Who determines what is masculine and what is not? Who determines what cultural/social construct determines what is considered masculine? We are a diverse group from all different upbringings, cultures, and backgrounds. Being Latino, Black, Asian, etc is hard enough let alone to also be Gay, Bi, etc.

So, what are we fighting, why is it necessary to single out few in our already small minority within already existing minorities. To do so is no better than the judgment that we receive from our own ethnic and cultural groups sometimes telling us that we are inferior or less desirable because we are different. In the Black & Latin community there was a perception in our history that the fairer you were the higher your social status based on the emulation of the European colonial sentiment that in some circles we still struggle to fight.

Now I find we are replacing such prejudices to help improve our standing. Why is it that these so called "broken wrist finger snapping homos that wreck our culture and give us a bad name and stereotypes all gay men as that" such a threat? I would think that other independent masculine men, such as myself, would have no worries from such a biased prejudice. We should be embracing our differences because it is this diversity that will make us stronger.

As human beings we are all different and these differences all have something to contribute. Why should we worry about what bigoted prejudiced people say and does it make us any better to do the same to our own just as they do to us. We will gain no better standing or benefit from such actions. People will always find something to hate or to judge others by whether it's your skin color, the way you talk, what you wear or even how limp your wrist is. If you have a preference that is fine but I find the only ones giving us the bad name are the ones willing to single people out because of that limp wrist or so called feminine demeanor.

Take me as I am judge people for their merits, not by your stereotypes. You feed into these stereotypes by perpetuating them.

One love for all human kind!!!

This is just me being the man not only that I was raised to be but better. On that note, I hope you are watching!!!!

In love I am a sucker for romance, and the little things. I am the type who believes in passion and that some times the simplest things can mean as much as the big overtures.

I love to show my love and deciation to my man. I am not shy and would hesistate to take my man's hand, protect him, or hold him. I think something as simple as a kiss has more clout than sex, though sex isn't all bad either. I put my heart in everything I do because I feel that in order to get all you look for in life you have to put it all on the table.

I want people to love me for me, not just what I think or what others think is the most attractive. I love a confident man who is not affraid to show the good and the bad and love me for the same. We all have somthing to contribute in life and in love.
