RIP - sen. edward kennedy

“An important chapter in our history has come to an end. Our country has lost a great leader, who picked up the torch of his fallen brothers and became the greatest United States Senator of our time,” Obama said.

And all of that is true and more he was not only the 3 longest severing senator in us history. he was a champion for human rights, and for a long time as a mass resident he was my senator. I remember as a child going to the Rehoboth fair and "uncle ted" was there and he was mingling with the crowd, Smiling, waving to people. That is something even at the age of 10 or 11 I have never forgotten!!

I got the txt of breaking news from msnbc at 1:36 am on 8/26/09. My phone was sitting next to my bed where i was sleeping. the text woke me up i rolled over clicked view read it, and immediately felt different inside. There are maybe a half dozen men in history that have done more for human rights the "uncle ted". even fewer that had the longevity. he began is public service career in 1962.
as MSNBC put it

For nearly a half-century in the Senate, Kennedy was a steadfast champion of the working class and the poor, a powerful voice on health care, civil rights, and war and peace. To the American public, though, he was best known as the last surviving son of America's most glamorous political family, the eulogist of a clan shattered again and again by tragedy.

With him loosing his sister just 2 weeks ago. Dare i speculate that was just to much to bare, May that not be the final straw.

And in his own sons words

"He has authored more pieces of major legislation than any other United States senator," Patrick Kennedy said. "He is the penultimate senator. I don't need to exaggerate when I talk about my father. That's the amazing thing. He breaks all the records himself." Also from the same msnbc article

and his dreams of a better future for Every one !!!

Kennedy sketched a dream of a better future as he laid to rest his brother Robert in 1968: "My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it."

god bless the Kennedy Klan and the United States of America,

Entry for august 03, 2009 Chesaspeake Pride 2009 and other stuff

Well lets see Chesapeake Pride 2009, was a huge blast a great time. it was held at mayo beach, down south of Annapolis, md. There was vendors and a drag show and well Tom Goss. I was supposed to go with Shawn, Elmo, and Victor. But Victor did a no call no show. and that was really fucked up.
So when i went to pick up Elmo on Friday I just got the scenes that he was not one of a kind, he is a run of the mill ghetto fem gay. But whatever he is Shawn's acquaintance. He has a large penis, so i was told did not unfortunately get to see it first hand.
We came backto my place, Elmo proceeded to watch 3 HOURS of porn and i still did not get to see it. (cock tease).
Finally went to bed At 12:30 in the morning, woke up at 7 am got the car all ready and jumped in the car with Shawn and Elmo a little after 10 for the 47 mile drive to mayo beach,
got there and the wanted 5 dollar donation per person!! i gave them a five and parked and then parked my happy ass on the beach!!
met a few cool ppl and saw tom preform at about 5:15 with Mara levi she preformed her HOMO song (wich u can hear on her website) Click the link she is my favorite local lesbian singer/ songwriter , Tom sounded great and i got a chance to sing some of the words with him.
Me and Shawn may go see him in roanoake, va pride on September 20th
After the show me and tom hung out for a min.
Then Shawn, Elmo and I got back in the car and drove back to Baltimore. to drop off Elmo, Thank God!!!
then back to Aaron's for some chill time.
I hope yall check the links to hear some cool gay local music and sign up for there mailing lists too!!!
lots of love,

Entry for July 14, 2009

well,
a crazy weekend of ups (i got me a new radio installed in my car) Thanks Art!!!
and well the relationship with Jamal fizzaled after i found out that he was a partial closet case and was in fact not a bottom as he had told me.
he is 28 yo and has a stable life great job ........ and quote "to lazy to come out completely". As my friend/co-worker pointed out i will not be someone misters. I live my life out loud and proud, I surround my self with ppl that are out and i preach coming out. for me to be with some one that is not out would make me a fucking hypocrite. And i am never ever going to be that.
The fact is that when you lie to ppl about your sexuality (by not saying you are gay) you keep us oppressed and you keep our rights to be treated equally a far distant dream and not closer to a reality.

Facts= some one that knows a gay person, is far less likely to discriminate
some one that knows a gay person, is far more like likely to support gay marriage
some one that knows a gay person, is more likely to support enda

"I got a millions behind me, and a million more to go"
Come out, be truthful, don't lie to ppl
love,

Entry June 28th, 2009 "O no he didn't"

Ok so First things First!!
I Did NOT move and i Have not even talk to James on the phone again. He is a total fucking coward. Not a real friend, or lover!! He is completely in his own world and I am very very angry about it, Cuz he made me look like a Fucking fool, I left the job, told every one i knew i was leaving Maryland and I sat there waited and he never FUCKING CALLED. SO if u know James Sawyers or are in the Winston-Salem area. He works at the panara bread. Walk-in and tell him "sky says fuck you very much" .
Now with that out of the way I have moved on with my life. I went on this website call OKcupid.com
I messaged a bunch of ppl on there and one in particular has warmed my heart very much, Jamal. He is sweet and kind and a great kisser, and for our very first date I took him to Baltimore Pride with shawn and my self. Then he stayed over that night and i drove him back to the dc area on sunday morning. soooo total time of (first) date was 20 hours. Second date was on a wensday wich was 6 hours and the third ended just 24 hours ago was another 20 hours, You seeing a pattern here we hang out together really well, we shall see you never know, He passed the art and Shawn test with flying colors.

I went back to Durham and the offered me a job I took it, Starts Monday, I really don't want to drive 30+ miles each way every day but at least it will be some extra cash in my pocket, BTW I got my car on the road Legally (instead of just a temp tag that i had before)

On Thursday I am soooo happy to have my car

I have to thank Terry, with out your help I am so thankfull for you alowing me to store it There!!
Art for his constant financial help
Margie for taking me to the DMV
and Jerry for the Other thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am now mobile and will most certainly be planning a massive road trip very soon to visit all of you who I have not seen in like forever,
Message me for details,
love always,
Sky

Entry for June 14th 2009 The moves and the lies frineds tell

well School is out, (ie i am laid off). Moving to Winston-Salem, Nc (hopefully tomorrow) to be with James. Last week I moved officially to arts house from eagle st where me and Robbie and Adam were living. Robbie is such a fucking lier he said o it will be OK splitting the rent after Adam moved out and instead he just fucking left me holding the bag and even moved his stuff out when i was away at work. he new i was going to be at work at the time,

Then i asked him if he wanted the dishes and flatware, (in a phone call) cups and the like and he said sure i will come pick them up next week well instead he just left them there to get throughn out by the landlord.

Did I menchen in my last post that I have a car?? Well I bought a 1991 olds cutlas ciera on craigslist for 800$ drives great just replaced the tires among other things and so i am going to drive down to winston. with half my stuff, then a week later come and get the rest of it from the storage place i rented.

One last thing I am skipping pride this year the first time i have not attended in 13 years. I was just not feeling it this year, maybe it was the endless work schedule. or the lack of enthusiasm or maybe it was that it would be only me and art.
there is always next year and i am totally going to cut a check to Walt Whitman Clinic (the benefactor of dc pride) and to GLCCB (the benefactor of Baltimore pride).

I defiantly will be posting very soon ("I got a whole lot of time on my hands") tell then

PEACE...............................

Entry for May 09, 2009 "Seasons of change"

Well this is the weeks of great change in my life , let me first start out by saying, On April 1 st Adam moved out and away (see previous post) then in April it be came apparent that I was not going to be able to pay Aprils rent,Not that big of deal i could have maid a double payment in May.

After a lot of him ming and hawing, I had to make a decision that will forever change the course of my life I decided that the relationship that has lasted THE LONGEST OF MY LIFE, James sawyers and I are getting back together after 10 years, and “so many roads”.

With that decision came logistics and moving times, He is currently in North Carolina and me in Maryland, I decided what I was going to do was wait till after the school year was up, June 11 th , and my settlement came in ( some time in June too). Pay off the rest of the lease and move to North Carolina.

Wanting to express this to then roommate Robbie I sad to him OK look I know that you are busy and I am busy lets take some time and talk about this on may 1 st , A Friday. Well instead he decided to blow me off that day and he waited till 2 days later tell me he was moving out, Effectively killing our 2 year friendship. Of course I am not capable after just getting back to work after that accident to carry all the bills this place generates. So I am left with no choice but to get evicted, move back in with Art till the end of the school year and then move again to North Carolina.

Thus requiring me to spend money on a car now to commute from Columbia to Whitemash . And spend money to move 2 times!!

That is why the title of the post is season of change, with so much change going on around me and with me. I feel sometimes as if I am being punished some how.

Why in just the last 6 months I have had the Adam saga, the Horrible accident, Adam bailing, falling behind on the rent, a friends betrayal, and an impending eviction.

I am not as good at adapting to change as I once loved change all the time, I am old, wiser and not as to be up route my ties to the community or routine.

I was just watching what is likely the end of scrubs show. And I cried like a baby at the end. Cuz I know it will be very hard for me to say goodbye to some of the people I currently work with We spend an average of 70 hours a week together around each other and 4 hours a day we are just shooting the breeze. And trust me you get to know a lot about a person when u spend 20 hours a week “just talking”.

The routine at work is the only thing that has been routine in my life, And I woke up this morning realizing that June 11 th will be here in 4 weeks and 5 days.

After that everything will be changed..........................

Entry for April 01, 2009 the calm lonely feeling

today I woke up at 4:30 am instead of my normal 4 am set my alarm wrong,
I turned the light on and listened and realized he was gone........ came down stairs turned the lights on sat in quietness.
caught the bus.
came home after work in the morning talked to Robbie till he went to work. locked the door behind him and started to clean the whole house. took all of Adams things and packed them in to bins i am taking it to him this summer,
realized how empty my living room is with out all of his junk in here, cleaned MY ROOM. packed up all the odds and ends he had in there and put them in the basement.
now i realized that Tomorrow it will still be calm and quiet just not the same as the first day i realized i am alone again.

I am OK with being alone till tonight when i came home from work and the house was still and no lights were on and when i walked in no one said good evening, how was your day...... that has been the hardest part of my first day alone.

Entry for March 31, 2009 A day of 2 parallels

it's been along time,

today I realized that i had not posted in a really long time. What i
have learned. has forever changed my life for the better the lesson
is.............. No matter how much you love someone, no matter how
much you care about some one, no matter all the shit that you have been
through in the passed, no matter how long you have known some one, you
can not save some one from them selves, and you can't save the world.

on February 21st after a pain staking agonizing 5 week of discussions
both internally and externally with many friends on many
night............. I broke up with Adam for a second time. the reasons
are many no job, no income to speak of expect keen.com 300-400 a month.
his "not following through" his constant questions about my whereabouts
24/7. his constantly expecting me to pick up the bills he could and
would not pay for on his own.

well this makes it tougher for me and Robbie we 3 are roommates.

bills split 2 ways is more money
today Adam moved out. He did this with little fan fare and absultluy no direction or long term place to stay. Art is taking him to the airport tomorrow morning and after that he is just winging it !!!



the second part of my day I got my cdl B Bitchs!!!!!!!!!!!!with p and s endorsements I
passed with the skin of my teeth. I can drive anything besides a
Semi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so excited i finally am done with shitty jobs. i can now sit on my ass and get paid.

more details to follow ..............
