Deep Fabulousity Podcast

I recorded this episode on Friday, and I just got around to posting this show today. I've been a busy little slut in Ptown ... well, not really. Anyway, that Friday was my birthday, and not just any birthday, but my 40th birthday. It also was the anniversary of my podcast. I've done 81 shows in 52 weeks, so it is obvious that on some occasions I've recorded more than one show in a week. And I hope to get more time to record more shows so I continue to do more than one show in a week. I know it is after the fact, but I hope everyone had a very safe, and fun-filled Halloween. In this episode I talk about my last weekend in Ptown and how fun that Halloween party is. I haven't posted my pics to my Flickr site yet, but they will be posted today. So, last week was rather un-eventful in my life, work, and free-lance work continue, and as usual it keeps me busy and off the streets. And now here I am back at the Ranch in Ptown, and I think I am done with Ptown and the Ranch for awhile. I had fun, I had a g

You know, I recorded this show last Wednesday, but I wasn't ready with any new bumps in between my segments. I found a great new song from the Podsafe Music Network called 'Waterboardin' by Tom Smith. I cut the song up into smaller parts, and then I was gonna add those bumps into my podcast, but with Audacity ... it is very tough to do, and is very time consuming. Ultimately, I just added a new Into and added an Outro. So, I am looking for new tools to do recording for my podcasts on the PC. Certainly, I also have Garageband 3 on my 12inch Mac Notebook. Of course, all the time that I was working on editing my podcast, that was in-between working on the freelance stuff, scouts, house-work, and going down to the cape. So, I finally got this podcast uploaded yesterday. So, let me once again re-assure everyone that I am fine, the dogs and cat are fine, the roomie is fine, and everything is fine in genral. On the day of this posting, it is Mondy, October 30th. Last week at this time was Monday, October

Hey everyone, I am alive and well. The dogs and cat are alive and well. The roomie is alive ... for now. Haven't killed him yet, but I can say at times that I wanted to. He's a nice guy, but we all have our moments. In any event, the free-lance as always, has been keeping me busy, but I did find enough time to do some things around the house that I needed to do, and I even managed to get out some this weekend. The highlight for sure was seeing the Pet Shop Boys last Friday (Oct 13th) in Boston at the Opera House. When I was in Ptown for Labor Day, I bought 3 tickets, one for me, one for my roomie, and one for Antonio who works at the Ranch in Ptown. I have been listening to PSB for decades and grew old with them. I first saw the Pet Shop Boys in concert 4 years ago when I was still with my 'ex' Doug. The show wasn't great back then, but I was still happy to see PSB. This last show was 1000 times better than than four years ago. It was so awesome, and I am still beaming from seeing PSB once mo

Hello, friends, family, listeners, and others ... yes, I am still alive and doing very well. So, well in fact, that if I was any busier ... I'd have to kill myself. Just Kidding! :-) Once again, freelance software engineering work is kicking my ass, but it is extra cash ... or at least going toward paying off my laptop, and now it is paying off my new PDA, a Dell Axim x51. This freelance, and life in general, is keeping me kinda busy, but at least it keeps me off the streets and outta the bars. By the way, I joined an HIV/AIDS Vaccine Study, and it's a 4.5 year committment. I could be getting the placebo, or I could be getting the real vaccine. I won't know for another 5-6 years. I don't expect anyone to do this. It is a deeply personal decision, and if you have a partner, it is something you should discuss with them. Since I am single, and will be for some time, and since I will be living in the same place for a long time to come ... I figure I would get involved. It's the least I can do

I know, I know, it's a miracle I am posting another podcast within the same week. I guess it's just because there is so much going on, and I mean, to me, it's big news. First of all, an intelligence report comes out that shows that Iraq and 9/11 had nothing to do with each other. Rumsfeld claims he hadn't read it yet, Rumsfeld claims he hadn't read it yet, so they use that excuse to avoid answering questions that they lied to get us into an unjust and immoral war. Second, Bill Clinton lays the smack-down on Chris Wallace. It was a conservative "hit-job" on Bill Clinton. I am sure Fox News meant to embaress Clinton and make him look like a fool. But, if any of you saw the interview, you know that Bill got a little upset and put Chris Wallace in his place. Bill was articulate and spelled it out ... a great backfire to Fox News Sunday ... here it is kids ... the TRUTH coming out and without any interruption from a loudmouth hack like O'Reilly or Hannity. Chris Wallace sat there and took it, and

This is my weekly podcast, and I am really hoping I will have more time to podcast this week, because I have a lot more to say about what's going on. I can tell you last week, was incredibly busy, and I had a lot of freelance work going on and it ate up a lot of more time. Also, I want to give my deepest regards and condolences to Jennifer Snoddy from that The Girl On Tech podcast. Please go to her site and give your regards, thoughts, and condolences to the Snoddy family over the loss of their young daughter Keera who passed away this past weekend. In this podcast, I bring you up to date on what's going on with me, but not in any great detail. That's boring and I don't think anyone wants the intricate detals of my life. But, like I said before, there was a lot of freelance work that took up a lot of my time, and it wasn't until Thursday night that I really felt like I had some free-time. I could have done a podcast earlier in the week, but I thought giving my dogs some attention and playing World

As usual, I have been a busy bitch. I, at one time, had some free time because I didn't have any freelance work to do. So, I was using that time to podcast, clean my house, work outside my house, and play World of Warcraft. But now, the freelance work is kicking my ass and eating all my time. I also haven't had time to work on my new web-site. I also haven't had any time to work on that rebuttal to my friends email. But I did have a chance to help my parents with their wireless, my friends wireless. I also helped out my roomies uncle (and his partner) with their computer this weekend. I also had a great chat with Zillafag from the ZillaFag podcast. Lastly, this is the third part of three of my Democracy Now series. Amy Goodman of DemocracyNow.org was on a book tour with Dr. Robert Jay Lifton. At the end of both their speeches, they had a Question and Answer session, and this is what I recorded. I apologize for the quality. By this time, my batteries were going and so I had to plug in my

This is the second of three parts of Democracy Now book tour. After Amy Goodman gave her speech, Dr. Robert Jay Lifton, who recently co-wrote a new book called "Crimes of War: Iraq" gave his compelling speech. His speech was a little shorter than Amy's, but still good nonetheless. Please enjoy this speech from Dr. Lifton, and I hope you get to hear Amy and Dr. Lifton personally someday. In other news with me, as you know I am working on my site ... again, and here is the link this time to the new site. Please give me your constructive criticism on what you think. Personally, I like the idea of having three columns instead of two. I certainly have the real estate (sceen real estate for you non-geeks) for it. I am also still working on the retort to the email I got from my friend Bobby. I'll get it finished some day, but I have to start the process first. And lastly, September 11th ... I basically share with you what happened with me on that day and how I left work, got my mom who was worki

On Labor Day Weekend, September 1st, 2006 I was fortunate to see Amy Goodman from DemocracyNow.org speak on her book tour with Dr. Robert Jay Lifton. I was notified of this event by my good friend David Byrd who does That Blue Jeans Guy podcast. Armed with my brand-spanking-new Marantz Digital Recorder, I record the entire event. Yeah, the quality may not be that great, you can probably hear me breathing in the background. Also, the Marantz record things in 5 minute segments, so I had to copy the multiple mp3 files into one longer mp3 file. This first 35 minutes is the start of the event and the start of Amy Goodman speaking, actually here entire speech. There will be 2 other parts: Part 2 will be the speech from Dr. Robert Jay Lifton Part 3 will be the Question and Answer session at the end. If you check out my Flickr site, you will see many of the photos of Ptown that weekend and of this event. Also remember that tonight is the eve of Sept. 11th. The current administration used this day as a

Hello everyone, I hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend, and I am sure we're all (or most of us) are back at work now. The weather in Provincetown, MA (Ptown) was kinda lousy all weekend ... except for Monday morning which is when I left Ptown. Anyway, I had a great time in Ptown, and this podcast talks all about it. As many of you know, I listen to DemocracyNow.org podcast with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, and I can't promote them enough. It is by the far the height of news. It is by far, NOT the opposite of Fox News. Since Faux News has a conservative GOP bias to it, that would imply that DemocracyNow.org is liberally biased, and I don't think they are. I consider DemocracyNow.org, to be center, to tell the TRUTH, no matter which side it favors or hurts. I think and feel that they are being intellectually honest. And in this podcast, I really want to be the same way ... I know I am liberal, and a democrat, but I want to be intellectually honest .... even when I have to swallow some poin

Well, I recorded this show last night, posted the file this morning, and here I am publishing the post all with 24 hours. Must be some kind of miracle! And don't be surprised if I do another podcast tomorrow night ... maybe .... So, in this show I catch you up on what happened last week and my trip to Ptown. I had a really good time, and caught up with the drama at The Ranch. It is still such an excellent place to stay ... for gay men. ;-) I also went to the gay part of Herring Cove beach and had a good time there. Caught some sun, checked out the eye-candy, and saw lots of sex going on in the dunes. Good Times! Even managed to hook-up with one of the other Ranch guests afterwards. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to interview Hedda Lettuce, but you can check out here site at Hedda Lettuce. Since, I am going back to Ptown this Labor Day Weekend, I'll try again. And if anyone wants to catch her show in Ptown, you have the month of September, and then she's back to NYC. As for this sho

This is the second post. After 30 minutes of typing, LibSyn lost all my show notes for this show. It is 12:45am, Monday Morning, and I am FUCKING EXHAUSTED!!!!! First I want to let everyone know that I am alive and well. The dogs and the one cat are all alive, happy, and healthy. I wish I could say the same for the birds. One bird has been very sick for a while now, and I think it's done ... the anti-biotics aren't helping, and I just hope it doesn't suffer at all before it passes away! I did record this show last Wednesday night, early Thursday morning, and then went to bed. I meant to publish the show the morning (last Friday), but Life got in the way. So, I apologize to everyone for taking so long, and I want to assure you that this is not a sign of things to come. Things will slow down for me eventually, and when I am inside during the Winter, I will continue to Podcast! As for the show itself, I talk about the events of LAST WEEK where I moved furniture around. Finally got my roomies room em

So, here I am on a Wednesday night. Just got back from the RCC (Randolph Country Club, NOT Roman Catholic Church), and feeling pretty good after a couple of drinks. Anyway, I recorded this podcast last night and planned on publishing it this morning .... but got so busy at work, that it had to wait until now. In this episode, I catch you up on me and what has been going on with me, my house, my dogs, my roomie, and my yard ... it has been a very busy week working in my back yard and pictures are coming to prove it. My back-yard has never looked better. During the winter, I can kick back and play video games while it is freezing cold and snowy outside ... in the meantime, during the summer, I want to be outside the house as much as possible. So, I haven't chatted with my straight freind Bobby yet ... he must be travelling this week, but we'll catch-up. I wanted to post his lengthy letter and comment on it ... but not without his permission. Also, in the greatest of announcements ... one of my listen

I recorded this show on Thursday, and yeah I know it's taken me a couple of days to publish it ... just call me lazy I guess. Anyway, in this show I bring the latest goings on with me, and that is a small part of the show. What I really want to discuss is fight or flight, is it bravery or cowardice? There is no right or wrong answer here, and I am not going to be judgemental of anyone. There are lots of people who have left this country because of our insane, assinine goverment. I mean it is obvious we are quickly slidin into fascism and a totalitarian state ... unless we can win back the elections this November an if sane, honest, anti-war politicians can take over the Congress. I don't hate all Republicans, but after a decade of their corruption, a Democratic congress would be a nice change. So, what we have is our basic animal instinct, fight or flight. A cornered animal or even a cornered person has no choice but to fight. But, when given the chance, most animals, and most people would 'flig

I recorded this show on Wednesday, and here I am just getting to publish it now. Boy, do I suck! Anyway, this is a much shorter, much lighter show. If we are going into World War III, there isn't much any of us can do to stop it. So, we might as well sit back, and enjoy the ride. This is probably why I'm drinking heavily ... just kidding ... maybe. :-) So, two weekeends ago, I was in Ptown, and I talk about that for a little bit. I was only gone for a weekend, and I didn't interview anyone. I was so unprepared. This time, I'll be more prepared when I go down next time. I am gonna get some business cards made up for my podcast, get a couple of T-shirts, and see about getting that Marantz recorder sometime soon. It'll be so much better than the iRiver. In any case, I had a great time that weekend in Ptown, and I look forward to going own again soon. So, the new roomie has finally moved in. He moved in about a week ago, and setup his bed. So, now begins the long slow tedious task of unpack

This show is my emotional rant about the crisis in the Middle-East. The show is a little longer than usual, but that is because i just had much to say. Let me make it perfectly clear to everyone who reads this that I WANT to be FOR Israel, but I can't in good conscience. There are jews, non-jews, Israeli's, and others who feel that Israel has taken an extrordinarily crazy response to Hamas and Hezbollah. I'm not a Middle-East expert, and I know you can get the news from many other sources, so I don't want to parrot what you already know. But I do know that Hezbollah has kidnapped Israeli soldiers in the past. And a few times before in the past, Israel was able to trade POW's with Hezbollah, usually with a german mediator. So, it begs the question ... why did Israel decide to go bat-shit now and decide to punish the entire nation for the acts of a few. This is by no means a limited response, and I am sure Hezbollah is going WTF?!?!?!?!?!? yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, Hezbollah is considered a terror

So, it was an ordinary week. Cleaning my house, brushing the dogs, an working on my freelance stuff ... all the while I had Skype on. The next thing I know Madge Weinstein calls me on Skype from Yeast Radio, and there I was in a conference call with Madge and Cheryl Mercowski. One thing led to another, and I informed the ladies that I indeed have an Aneros prostrate stimulator. So, Madge asked me if I could so a show talking about my Aneros Prostrate Stimulator, my experiences with it, and reviewing it. So, consider this a disclaimer. If you don't want to hear about my sex toy and my using it, then move another my next podcast (which I haven't recorded yet). If you are interested, sit back and enjoy! I didn't cover any of the news, and I was going to talk about a much more serious subject (TBA), but I guess that will have to wait until my next podcast. This podcast is also a little shorter than usual, but that's ok ... the next one might be a little longer than usual. This shows Intro was: "Touch

In four more months, lots of things can change. Hell, many things can change in 4 seconds, but in four more months if any of us are still here lots of things will hapen: 1) It'll be my birthday and I will 40 years old 2) It'll be the one year anniversary of my podcast 3) It'll be the one year anniversary of being at my new job 4) Massachusetts gets to try once more to vote on whether the gay-marriage ban should be put on the ballot for 2008. The same courts in Massachusetts that allow gay marriage also dealt us a set-back in allowing the petitions to go through. That means the same-sex marriage ban CAN be voted on for the legislature. The ball is now in their court, and they can vote to put the issue on the ballot in 2008, or not. It would need to with 2 votes from our 2 constitutional conventions,or at least I think that's the way I read it. So, this past Wedneday, they had a chance to vote on it ... but it never came up. So, on both sides of the issue, there are those who are both hapy this was put

Wow, this weekend was super-busy, but also super-productive. I got a ton done. I cleaned my house, dusted, laundry, dishes, etc. all the mundane things. I also got some extra things done, like an oil change in my truck and getting rid of old trash to the dump. As you know I have a roomie moving into my house soon. So, I have to clean out that room so he will have room. As I was cleaning out things I ran across things I hadn't seen in years. What a trip down memory lane. I also found things that belonged to my "ex" and he will get those items back. As I throw things out, and as old meories come back ... I get an awful ache in my stomach. I don't throw too much away that has GREAT sentimental value to me. In some old and new news: Sexual orientation of men determined before birth World Anglican Church At Impasse Over Gays Faith Leaders To Catholics: End Gay Marriage Fight Pope is cold hatin' on science Pope Carries 'Traditional Families' Message To Gay Marriage Spain New York and Georg

Hey folks, I hope every had a great holiday over the Fourth of July. I know I had a great time seeing "Superman Returns" and having one Helluva BBQ meal. I also managed to get some sun and rays before the thunderstorms and clouds came in. So, now I am back to work, and a little annoyed I lost my bid on that Marantz PMD 660. So, I'm just gonna get it brand new from BSW Audio. In the meantime, I got some more freelance work to do also, then I'll be done paying off this laptop. BTW, I am still using this PC laptop and Audacity to record my podcasts. So, recently there has been some friction between me and Captain Cox. After I posted my show for July 4th, he left me some comments which you can find here. So, you can see myself and ZillaFag had words with Captain Cox who does the Cox Cast podcast. I responded to Cox by sending a pretty lengthy message to him which he posted to his site here, and you can see his immediate response. Then later he posted a much longer response to my long message, and
