Views from a BrewTown Sista (aka The Chronicles of Kayleah H. Madison)

Last night at choir/bell rehearsal, I quietly celebrated the one year anniversary of first attending Spring Creek United Church of Christ. Don't really need a charm bracelet to commemorate this. For the past few weeks while I was trying to find a way to remember the 15 years of discovering my feminine side, I glanced at some of the calendars that I have on my wall on the month of April and remembered one year earlier about attending a service at Spring Creek, just for the hell of it. I was told about the church late in the summer of 2011 while at a meeting for the first Rockford Pride Fest. Received a pamphlet describing the church, located at Spring Creek & Spring Brook. I had previously passed the church many times before, taking the shortcut going to Woodman's and cruising west on Spring Creek when I had my wheels. The actual date I have since forgotten, but it was nice that they did arrange a way for me to get there.   To you long-timers of SCUCC, the previous past...

I know I haven't did a blog for a while, so forgive me on that. So this was supposed to be some kind of celebration commemorating 15 years since coming out as a transgendered person. Please. I'm not expecting any awards for this momentous occasion anytime soon. The only thing I did was re-post this YouTube video I did earlier this year to basically explain myself. If you have seen my channel there, the video is just below my picture, which was taken last year. The scrambled eggs with brown sugar video is proudly on the cover. One person actually like my eyes. I'm touched, even though I haven't had my teeth worked on in years. I did cheat a little bit, though-the musical background was my church choir rehearsing a song. They downloaded the song onto my email and just loaded it onto my computer. Here's hoping I don't get sued for that! It's up to 75 views as I type this, meaning there really isn't that many folks that either give a damn about me explainin...

Whenever that time comes when I get called home, will it be while I'm sleeping, driving, eating...making whoopee? No one ever talks about what it will be like to die. That's TOO scary for me!! I don't know. I mean, what can you take with you into the afterlife? Nevermind that crap about lost secrets that were taken to the grave. Just because Roger Ebert blogged that wasn't afraid of death will not mean I won't be scared stiff! What would happen if I did get reincarnated? Yeah, right. That was a synopsis in a Blake Edwards flick Switch. That's where a womanizer gets played by his girlfriends, gets shot and killed, then gets eventually reborn as Ellen Barkin.  Kind of a joint venture between God and the Devil himself.   But he had that consequence coming with all that philanthroping with those ladies. Having God re-create him as a woman was the last thing on his mind. Could i have that chance? Pretty sure He'd say no.  I'm not ready to go when He co...

I had some time today between existing, working on my website and conversating with a possible customer I met on facebook about a round trip to Atlanta. I did all the design of the above poster myself (like it? Let me know in the spaces below!) While some folks in this country are ready for this weekend's NCAA Men's Final Four in Atlanta, I decided to go ahead and refresh my memory on why this month has sentimental reasons. This blogging can help me ease my mind off of today's headlines from CNN, ESPN and everybody else. I may have mentioned this before, however I may have been nuts to even speak the truth. I don't have a favorite in the college basketball tournament, so I'll just watch something decent on Investigation Discovery or Movieplex. How did I use my time from not having bell/choir rehearsal? Trying my best to eat this 13lb ham I got several weeks ago! This takes a lot of work to eat this!! I'm lucky I'm about half-way finished now!! It's a ...
