R.I.P

Thank you Macey

Police state of mind

I don't do well with authority, not even a little bit! Well unless they are female cops and they're hitting on me (crab park last summer that actually happened) but i mean how often are you going to run into female police officers that don't have a huge chip on their shoulders? Not often!

The Olympics have brought our city a police and military presence so large that it has only been surpassed by World War two.
i don't feel safer, in fact i may start building my immunity to pepper spray by rubbing jalapeno's in my eyes at work this week.
Cool eh! Go Canada Go!

Belated Xmas

I had the pleasure of getting the swine flu over Christmas, the real deal too! Not just some shitty doctor being all like, "oh yeah take this anti viral medicine." (cha ching) No it was the whole bad enchilada.
I was supposed to fly out to Toronto and Montreal to see friends and family. Of Course my moral code of social conduct was working in overdrive the entire time, so i pretty much acted like a leper, and the world treated me like a leper, not even Milo the dog was around.
Because i missed Xmas i received my presents from my family today (Jan 25th).
I'm so glad i didn't have to sit in a present opening circle and have to pretend to love my brand new 2010 Olympic hoodie!
No seriously...

New bed linens

I was at Winners today buying new bed linens when i remembered i had a blog!!
Sorry for the lack of blogging internet world. Do people still blog these days? Is anyone gonna read this?
I guess the lack of rambling, personal information about myself came out of my recent break up.
Eli and i split in September (again) but this time it's permanent.
There's not much one can really say about these sorts of things? I lost a lover a best friend a family a dog and somewhere around November my mind! What i gained though was a different perspective of myself, i was really not taking care of myself in the latter years of the relationship.
I was trying too hard to make my partner happy and have her needs met, when i was allowing my own needs and wants and desires to be put away in a box, thinking one day she would open the box up and go through it. That would never happen.
So i guess it was the simple act of buying new bed sheets today that made me realize that I've turned a corner. I'm coming out of the dark, heart broken moments of self doubt and insecurity.
There's nothing like clean, sexy, sheets to inspire a person to have passionate, hot sex with someone new! Come over for the sex but stay for the sheets....and more sex (obvie)

Here's a toast to being single! It's really not so bad, i mean i have my days. But when those feeling's creep over me I turn to my bro's and we play some nerd games, watch some hockey and talk about girls.
Perfect!

I've never kissed the loves of my life

South park Murders

So i was in Seattle a couple of weeks ago for Helen Reeds film, Twin Twin Peaks. I was staying at my buddy Scouts place and we called him to let him know we were close to pulling into his neighborhood of South Park which is a really cute area that's considered a little Mexico in Seattle.
He sounded a bit concerned on the phone and told us not to freak out if we saw a bunch of police and news vans out in fromt of his house and that he would fill us in what happened when we arrived.
Scouts neighbours a young lesbian couple that lived directly across the street from him were broken into and attacked randomly (or so they say, hate crime?) The one women was stabbed repeatedly and died in her home from wounds to her neck. The other escaped but was hospitalized with life threatening injuries.
Scout and his girlfriend were woken up to a blood curdling scream at 3:30 am, Scout ran out to see his other neighbour calling 911 and the one women bleeding to death. The Police told the community of South Park at an emergency meeting that they responded to the 911 call within 5 mins. Scout and others say it was more like 25 mins and that her life could have been saved.
Others told the Seattle chief of police that when they have called the police for help (various reasons) sometimes the dispatch officer would ask questions like, "Do you have immigration papers?" before responding to the call.
In the time i was a guest at Scouts i had numerous reporters ask me for my opinon and try to get an interview with Scout. We both turned them down, it was really akward, sad and surreal.
They also caught a suspect while i was there too. The Police drove up and down the street announcing into a loud speaker that they got the man! He turned out to be an unstable black male with a history of violence and mental health. Perfect victory for the SPD!
Scout was talking with the head detective and a member of the F.B.I and he said there was enough D.N.A evidence to convict the suspect.
Needless to say that night was a really hard one to sleep through, both Eli and I barely slept. Partially because of the murder but also because Scout had a number of loaded weapons in his house for "protection" and there was some talk of him buying some more hand guns.

We drove home to Vancouver the very next morning.

Shitty couples everywhere!

So just be forewarned this is not a positive blogging in any way whatsoever.
But what the heck is with all my really, smoking hot, lady friends from East Van dating the biggest losers? Or the most boring dudes? Is the dating pool really that small for the straight community around here? That the hottest, most talented, strong women are just settling for some of these local characters just baffles me!
I know what your thinking, "Oh M.J. you just want to fuck all your friends!" That's not even it, i swear it! I just have a hard time grinning through certain hang-outs with certain couples. Take these ladies away from these Peter Van types and they are so outgoing, independent and funny. Then bring in the dude and it's all hehehehe tickles and whispers and everything they say or do is a miracle of epic proportions. BORING PEOPLE!! FUCKING BORING!!
Look i know we all get a little lonely and horny this time of year, but if it means sacrificing what makes you great to cuddle up to some dude, then i say go solo.
A close friend recently responded to my bitching about this very topic with this, "It's just the time of the year for annoying couples MJ, it will pass."
Good god i hope they are right!?
I want my girls back.....
And yes I'm fucking glad I'm Queer, more and more every single day.
