The Other Side Of Me

This Blog is a documentation, a day-to-day account of my coming out process. This is here so people can read, and see where i've made mistakes and where i've made progress, so that during their coming out they can attempt to avoid or emulate those things. It is also here, to show the struggle me and many others have faced, when coming to terms with our sexuality.

My Ugly Ass Mug!

Ok there has been someone visiting from Bristow! So i guess i'll post a new picture i took with my new Digital Camera, to see if she recognizes me... Yea, i just got it today, it's a Christmas Present, but since my parents are horrible with technology i got to pick it out. And when they got home, i made off with the sack and now i'm playing with it. So here'ya go...



Damn this camera is way nicer then my old one i broke when i crashed! Weeee, i love technology. Now, can i play games on it?

I'm still playing with mine, there are so many settings that are abbreviated, so i'm going to have to look them up when i get the chance, but i've found out how to do B&W pictures! Woot.

Hmmmmm, not many places in Bristow... Wal-mart perhaps? I don't know, that’s the only place i can think of. Wal-mart, Movie Gallery, Pizza Hut, Food outlet, One of the many gas stations... that's basically the only places i stop at in Bristow.

Yea, every time, except twice, i told people that i was gay, they asked me if i was lying. The other two times got responses: "I love gay men", and "I though so, long ago". But i like that i'm not the stereotypical gay male, it's the best card when people try to tell you all gay people are alike. When i did an oral report, and basically outted myself to the class, there was a gasps of amazement from some people, i loved it, i took their misconceptions and shattered them. I wasn't what they perceived me to be, and i hope they can take something from that, i know that those believes caused me trouble in the past. I felt so different from anyone else, and that sucked. But the internet shattered my misconceptions, and that's why i love it; but these people have no reason to seek the truth out for themselves, so I’m going to have to bring it to them. And that is one of the major factors for me wanting to be public about my sexuality; because I know that it’s hard to think that you are the only one, and I though of myself as the minority of the minority; plus if someone is similar to you, it’s harder to hate them, so showing gay diversity is very important to me.

That's why i love to say i like Nine Inch Nails, and Horror movies; because those are not things that the steriotypical male likes [i think]; and it's true.
