The American Election
I can't believe that a dickhead like Bush who has the intellect of a gnat and the outward appeal of a fly could become President of the US! The man has only travelled out of the US three times in his entire life, so lets get this straight the man probably thinks the entire world is America......This does concern me even though I am not an American and not planning on moving there anytime soon. Under his Governership more intellectually people have been executed for crimes which it is unsure they committed or had the intellectual ability to understand they committed. Bush has consistently voted against including gay hate crimes in the hate crimes bill and publiccly rebuked any gay rights. The man is a white middle class bigot and really needs to open up his mind to diversity and mulicuturalism. America under Bush will not be a happy place.

Gay Games 2000 Furore in Australia
There has been a lot of media comment of recent weeks about the Gay Games in Sydney 2002, Fred Nile our resident homophobic Bigot has as stirred up public sentiment by claiming the Gay Games has no basis for funding and is 'an abomination'. Lets settle a few things aboout the Gay Games and what it stands for:

The Gay Games includes everyone regardless of sexuality - you dont have to be queer to participate just be open to all sexualities and accept everyone for what they are.
It is a celebration of acceptance of ourselves as members of the Gay and Lesbian Community and a forum for all people to be involved.
You do not have to be a world class athlete to be involved, everyone is accepted just register and you can participate.
It is a healthy activity and promotes fitness and health to all sectors of our communty.

The GG2002 are not discriminitory to anyone, they are not 'promoting' the homosexual lifestyle - I think we have gotten past the idea that homosexuals convert people...........If we draw a comparison to the Jewish Games which are accepted as part of our communities diversity there is no real difference apart from the fact that top be involved in the Jewish games yoou must be Jewish.....now is that discriminiation, because you don't need to be gay to be involved in the gay games..... If we want to choose our friends let us, but we cretainly don't exclude anyone. The only people we don't want arre the ones that abuse us and make ius feel unwelcome and make us frightened for our safety.

So Fred who is the hypocrite?

Am I Hot Site
http://www.amihotornot.com/r/?eid=KYOEGE&key=MESKR

vote for me at this site!!!!!!

Over the weekend Isaw the film Billy Elliot and I wrote this review for My Movies.

Billy Elliot has not been a hugely marketed film and in fact the first time we heard about it in Australia was from Planet Out not any of the mainstream papers or sites. Whilst I didn't really know what to expect when In went along to see the movie, being a fan of English Cinema I had high expectations.

I wasn't disapointed by this film at all it gave so very much more than I had hoped or expected!

Billy is the eleven year old son of a striking miner in the 1984 /85 mine strikes which plagued England under the thumb of the Tyrant Thatcher. Billy, lovingly portrayed by a precocious and talented 13 year old Jamie Bell is a working class kid, lost in a world of despair. Having lost a mother to an unnamed illness and having half a father torn between his own emotions at losing a wife and the great mine strike and the shame of not being able to provide for his own family.

This is not just Billy's story but that of he and his father. Billy discovers his love for dance and the new world into which he can escape and the bleak dark rreality of the small North Eastern English town of Everington. Billy is encouraged, cajoled and loved by the local dance teacher Mrs Wilkinson, played by the amazing Julie Walters. Julie brings out the gritty character of a northern middle class wife who sees a spark of genius in the young Billy.

The story is not unique, a young child being plucked from some small dead end town and turing out to have some magical gift. It is the touching way that the story is displayed, the childesh naivety and at the same time cynicsm of Billy that makes the heart strings go.

By far one of the most poignant parts of the film is the friendship between local boy Micheal and Billy. Micheal who enjoys cross dressing and is painfully in love with Billy shows his affection and is at once thrilled and terrified of the consequences. The homophobia in the town and in Billy's family is obvious, but Billy accepts the love and affection as a true friend does, with neither fear nor rejection just simple aceptance. The poignant moment is when Billy leaves the town to pursue his dreams and rather and kisses Micheal on the cheek in full view of the neighbours and his father. This small gesture speaks volumes about Billy's character.

A small criticism of the moview is the final scene showing micheal as a transvestite in London ten or so years later. Just because someone is gay doesnt mean that they are all transvestites, drag queens or flowery weirdos. Come on BBC show some normal poofters, ones that have good jobs are normal and are just like the rest of society.

All in all Billy Elliot is a superb film well worth a look and one that will definitley be added to my DVD collection when it is released!

Finally a Sleaze Update

Finally I am getting around to updating the site, it really is quite pathetic how long it actually takes me some times to get around to updating my journal here, the other day when I updated it didnt actually go accross to the site. I was reading that Blogger has been innundated with new users and that is why the whole thing is so slow, anyway I don't really care why it is slow, I just want it to be less slow :)

Now onto sleaze, the pics have been loaded at Sleaze Pics, don't ask for any more pics because we don't ahve any at the moment.......God it was fun wearing that costume and it sure did raise a few eyebrows, but nothing like some of the things other people were wearing, or should that be not wearing. The one thing that I noticed from the pics is that I have put on a lot of weight and bulk in the last year......even though I have going to the gym at least four times a week for the past year, I had not been doing a whole lot of cario work so consequently I have increased my fat percentage from less than 8% to about 12% which in my estimation is a whole lot more than I want or can cope with. So I have started the cardio from hell workout now and have stopped eating take out food, fatty things and have cut down on my simple sugar intake. My aim is to reduce my body to about 6- 8% by Christmas without losing any of the ean muscle bulk I have managed to put on.

Lee and everyone else thinks that I am mad, but it is a huge issue for me, and I will do it and make surte that I never get an incrase in body fat percentage ever again. Interestingly one of my friends pointed out my dreadful posture the other day which when I do not stand straight makes me look like I have a podge......

Petey, Glenn, Lee and myself all went to lunch yestersday at Sade (Cnr Oxford St and Flinders St Sydney) and the meal was fabulous!!!!! Lee and I had been there before for dinner and that was amazing too, but as per usual we managed to order the most expensive meals and wines *giggles.......

So that's my rant for today take care kids and kiddettes!

The homosexual Agenda
This is a ne one for y'all http://www.bettybowers.com/homoagenda.html

Sleaze
Well last weekend was Sleaze 2000 Degrees the other party of the century at the showgrounds and boy was it a hoot and a half. I'm still kind of oming down after such a fabulous weekend of dancing, disco cookies and the like! The music was amazing except for the middle DJ - who the hell was he? The first DJ, god musyt remember to ask Lee who he was again...yes yes yes In know that i am a bit of vague blonde at times. *giggles

We went all out in the costume stakes and I am still waiting for the pictures taken before the party to be sent to me.......needless to say that wearing an 11inch glowing strap on oming out of tiny red pants certainly makes a statement LOL.

I will update the site with pics when they are available.

Other Things

I have had two people at work at the moment, with all of the stress of managing the renovations in the office I have had to pout up with two very inconsiderate people who are very obvioously not team players......One has complained about everything, its a mess or I dont have a draw, hello we are building and everyone is making do with the situatioon and its only for two weeks! Its almost finsihed now, and the one side of the office looks fab, but the other is still a messy building site! But by the end of this week it will all be finished and we will ahve a brand new office.

US Election

I know that Im not an american but I cant help but put my two cents worth in...I really think Bush is behaving like a child and being petulant...maoinly because he knows that the inacuracies in the voting favour Gore and the more scrutiny the more likely it is that Gore will become the presidet. Mind you it concerns me that someone as bigoted and narrow minded as Bush could even get votes! But then i I remember that there arre so many horrible bigots out there that would like us poofters to go away. Go Gore! Bush you can go back under the rock from whence you came.

God damn I am a consumer!

Can you belive it NBCI is stuffing us all around again and it is not working again...This means that people are getting an error message or a Forbidden message every time they try to load my site. It is starting to become very annoying now whenever I want to find out the stats of my site or just do a little bit more ont he site it stuffs up. I must get a real domain and start hosting the site properly........maybe I will, but till then I have to put up with the silliness I have at the moment....
Hey the webcam is working but some of the time it takes the worse ppics of me LOL......if you want to know more about the cam it is an AIPTEK Palm Cam and can also take still digital pictures - not very good quality but hey what can I expect for like 100 dollars Australian (about $50 USD). Check out Aiptek Website or the software that I am using to serve up the web cam is from Coffee Cup Software, they are fun and quite groovy actually.

Lee sent me this link today http://www.washtech.com/news/emerging/4791-1.html about reaserch that has been conducted in the US that says that a high percentage of gay people living in an area is linked to how high tech the area's workforce is . For example Silican Valley is right next to San Fran.....etc etc...so have a look its damn interesting of course!

I was reminded today just how important communmication in relationships is. One of the many people I communicate with online had a problem with their partner and was bvery upset - no names..........The love they have for each for each other is very evident and the issue was simply one of an inability to communicate each other's feelings in a verbal way.
All too often this sort od inability to express how we feel, especially about our insecurities means that we act in very strange ways that others may perceive to be totally contradictory to what we really think. A book I found a while ago called 'Find the Boyfriend Within' really opened my eyes to the idea that to love someone else and let them love me I had to like the real person I was, not just the pertson others saw.
I highly reccommend this book if you are at all interested in finding yourself, if you are in a relationship or not!

Another day in Sydney Town
I was sent a fabulous blonde joke - one that I actually hadn't seen before. Being a blonde it is always very funny to read about just how stupid we are supposed to be...Yeah ok so sometimes I can be a little daft and vague - its not my fault though! So here it is!

blonde calls her boyfriend on the phone with a problem.
What's the matter? he asks.
Well, Ive bought this jigsaw puzzle, but it's too hard. None of
the pieces fit together and I cant find any edges.
What's the picture of?, he asks.
It's of a big rooster, she replies.
All right, he says, Ill come over and have a look.
When he arrives, she thanks him for coming over and leads him over to the kitchen table where she has it laid out. He takes one look at what she's been struggling with and says,
Oh, for f-k sakes, put the cornflakes back in the box!


So sue me if you don't think it's funny but I truly had never heard that one before.
