why didn't I think of using this clip instead of "still I rise"? not saying maya angelou's poem isn't inspiring...

Keep In Touch With Your Trans Elders!! (Part 5)

-

  So, the week at BTAC was going on as scheduled, despite the legal troubles thanks to the over-bearing Commander-in-Chief's ceaseless quest to make the trans people disappear permanently. Being in Texas, predominantly a red-voting state with its own anti-trans issues, it's never easy to be exist as we are sans strings attached. Nevertheless, the fight continues on. Friday has arrived, the night after yet another lengthy Black Trans International Pageant went into the wee hours. I went to sleep, not knowing who the winner was, or how much I cared less about it. As it turned out, the new Ms. Black Trans International winner just happen to be a friend of mine...Latonia Love, from Jackson, MS. I congratulated her when I got the chance. Keep in mind (if I didn't already mentioned it in the last blog) I have only attended the event since my inaugural visit to BTAC, in 2019. Why would I spend time being disinterested in an event that I've cared so little about? Maybe I figure...

Return to Buc-ee's (Part 2)

-

One year earlier, I had made my first-ever trip to the wildly popular convenient store/gas station, Buc-ee's. This Lake Jackson,TX-based franchise has gained a massive popularity due to its enormous size and various range of snacks and novelty items...plus, they make their own food, including pizza, bakery, beef jerky, and especially their own mouth-watering brisket sandwiches. They take a HUGE piece of brisket and chop it up AS YOU WATCH them prepare a bunch of brisket burgers, brisket burritos, and sliced BBQ pork sandwiches as big as a softball, or your fist.  I wanted to get one SO bad, however my friends went to eat a "free" breakfast at a Holiday Inn Express as we drove into Texas last year. The usual crap. I should also mention about how we drove from Milwaukee/Rockford 17 hours just to get there on that Sunday morning.

Can We Really Have THIS MUCH fun In A Calendar Year?

-
Well,  it has been some wild ride since I posted my last blog exactly one year ago today. You may remember that I was talking about watching the IceHogs win over Manitoba with my new friend Erica. Since then, no one actually knew what kind of a chaotic whirlwind the world would have for the rest of 2020. An incredibly nasty virus. Working from home. Toilet paper riots. Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police. Mandatory wearing of masks. Social distancing. Curbside deliveries. Radical movements dealing with one incumbnent, racist President. A highly expensive, extremely high turnout at the polls. Current President refusing to concede to a new successor-and the nation's first Black & South Asian woman Vice-President. Anglo-Saxon nutjobs who've been brainwashed to believe anything & everything our outgoing President Nutjob says, even though the incorrect info. So much bullshit happened last year all because of ...
