Hey guys...Merry Christmas!
Hope you all had a good one and all your wishes came true.
To all a good night!
much love,
Danny

Hey guys, have to run. Have a good one and remember to laugh at least once today. This world is too uptight.

my tour date list is incomplete right now and i'll update it later in Jan. I have a date coming up in Fla on the 15th of Jan I believe and i'm always going around the New York area. It depends on what schools book and most of them wont do their booking until later next month. Keep checking the list.

Good Morning world. Did anyone catch on the news this morning that the U.S.'s first openly gay police chief just made the announcment? I caught it on CNN but didn't here where he was.
D

Forgot to mention. I'm heading to the A.T.L. (home) and probably wont be around a computer. If that's the case, Merry Christmas to you all in advance. And to all a good night.
much love,
D

if it makes you feel better, everone is this world is oppressed in some way or another. Some just less than others. Most oppression is self-oppression and nothing sucks more than playing the victim. Look up buddy.

Freeman,
the only thing I can suggest is to either move to a new town or at least to a new neighborhood. I know exactly where you live and it's cracker-ville. I live off Rainier Ave and that's more brown than anywhere else. I'm one of the only white kids around here and like it that way.
That cracks me up about the Walgreens thing and that's so typical. People in my neighborhood got pissed because they want to tear down a couple of crap buildings left over from the 70's that have no character to build a new light rail station. Give me a break. I'd rather hear people not complain about anything and live in "utopia" than whine about crap like that.
I do like this town alot though.

On that note, I have to say good night so that I can go run. I'll be cooped up in a plane for 5 hours in less than 24 so I need to move all I can.
I enjoyed the convo guys and wish there was more of this on the board. Seems like lately it has devolved into a chat room of sorts.
Take care until next time.

yeah man,you're right...white, white, white. However, racism and all the other isms aren't as much a problem here. This place is so #### liberal and accepting in general. But...you're right, because of the fact that people aren't exposed to many real social problems here, they tend to forget that they exist. It cracks me up what kind of rediculous crap people get their panties in a wad over here. Life is so relatively easy here and people don't know how good they have it. People will ##### about the smallest things and don't even realize what REAL problems exist out there in America and the world.
D

Freeman, here's your biggest problem man....YOU live in Seattle! This is one of the whitest places period i've ever seen. Coming from Georgia, it just trips me out how white this place is. Actually, it kind of freaks me out sometimes. Example, yesterday at he mall, I stopped and started looking around and realized that there was Paul and one other brown man in the whole #### place! Cracker-ville.

Mike, your statement wasn't ignorant buddy, just idealistic as you put it. It's easier not to notice a problem when it doesn't directly affect you.
D

nothing wrong with being an idealist. I was more of one in the past and it's a good trait even if sometimes it blinds you to reality.


6 feet under...the cop reminds me of one of my friends back home in Atlanta whose a black gay cop. Alot of that show takes place in Seattle also does it not?
D

awesome...more folks from rain town. Hey man, one of my best friends here in town is a gay black guy and he's cool as hell. You should meet him.
Mike, you definitely aren't from the south with a reponse like "race is only an issue if you make it one"!
D

you're completely right Freeman. There aren't many potrayals of gays of color in the media most likely because the media is controlled mostly by lame#####white guys, especially lame#####gay white guys. That's why narrow minded, self-limiting shows like QAF exist. They're being created by old white men who are very out of touch with the newer generations. I'm not even going to get on that old subject anymore. I'm sick of talking about that show. I've really gotten into watching 6 feet under lately. There's a gay guy on that show whose a black cop. Seen it? Good stuff.
Mike, your post was beautifully utopian.
D

to anyone from Seattle reading this: if you get a chance, check out CHOP SUEY on New Year's Eve. They're having a continuation of the "I Love Shiva" parties and the music is awesome. Indian trance and pop.

Evening CTOC. Just wanted to thank those of you who responded to my last journal entry. I made an update to it tonight that hopefully will be posted by tomorrow.
By the way, who the hell are the TRIPOD people that keep posting links to the RW sites? I really hate them posting crap about this trashy new Las Vegas season. If you get this message MR. Tripod, please stop posting that. That new season is worthy of the fire and those kids should be shot. They're an embarrasment to the rest of us. ####, did I get my point across?
Thanks,
the management

it's not about us "saving the planet"...how egotistical would we have to be to think that we could actually "save the planet" and of course it will outlast us. The real issue at hand is saving us from ourselves. We're certain to wipe ourselves out soon at the rate we're going.

earth is that fragile. Sure, we should do the best we can to take care of it, but we're talking about a planet that survived everything from ice age cycles to mass extinctions to nuclear blasts to a 6 mile long comet that wiped out seventy-five percent of all life. Trust me, the earth has survived things dadlier than we could ever through at it, it will survive us.

Come on guys

alright guys...I have to say that I couldn't agree with Carrie more. This board is turning into exactly what I don't want. No more BS drama and clean it up. Brent, could you be more disrespectful and Robby, enough. You're digging for attention now and it's getting old.
thanks,
management

Good Day

Good Day CTOC. How's it going?
Good I hope.
Robby, calm down buddy. You're far too sensitive. As I said before, of course young people can be wise and way ahead of their time. And of course not every experienced person is wise. However, experience does bring wisdom and a young person who is wise will only be that much wiser later in life. I know this from experience my friend. Trust me, I have far more in common with you than you may know. I too thought I knew so much at your age but just a few years later i've learned how much I still don't know and have to learn. A wise person knows not what they know but what they don't know. Hope you feel better buddy.
Danny
