Rallying around

Jeff and I were in the city this weekend so we were able to attend the Gays Rallying on Saturday afternoon.   Good crowd, unexpected sunny skies, stood in front of these dreamy guys and got all melty, and finally got to meet Father Tony (dreamy and got all melty again).  It was a good rally though honestly, Gays, can we come up with some new chants and rallying cries other than “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it!”.  I felt like I was back in 1993 and was going to pull out my Freedom Rings.

Yeah…I don’t know where I’ve been either

Who can say why one cycles on and off from the blog.  I read an interesting article a few weeks ago that actually said blogging in the old form is dead and replaced by microblogging through sites like Twitter.  That does make some sense to me; I’ve been Twittering pretty regularly every day and my first thoughts are to Twitter rather than blog, but I also rail against the notion of our sound-byte culture.  There is room for both, I just have to pay a little more attention.
