Revenge of Rambling Thoughts and Bad Poetry

I will be starting to incorporate a few posts which will be friends only. There will also be other posts which will be selected friends only. It depends on how personal the post gets!

For people on my friends list: If you object to anything that is posted simply comment on the post and I will remove you from the list of people that receive these kinds of posts. I will not be including all friends in all types of posts. I relise that there are some details you just may not want to hear and I will respect that.

For people not on my friends list: There will still be a lot of public posts made, but if you want to be included in some of the other posts that I make, just drop me a comment here and I may add you to some of the sections of my journal.


All of this is part of a tidy up process after dumping 3 other blogs which I kept in favour of keeping everything together in one spot. So, have a nice day, and remember, "the world really is wonderful" just so long as your name isn't Simon Townsend!!!

I needed somewhere to vent and get stuff out of my system... but every single web site / blog / forum I am a member of has either my real name or something instantly recognisable to people I know... even my family... So instead I opened up Open office and typed my fury out there... and then I deleted it... Why in the past have I felt the need to publish that sort of stuff???

It is all to common to hear about transgendered/transsexual people being murdered, especially in the US. Something about this case though seems to have made people sit up, listen and understand. Finally???

It is at times like this that I wish I was religious so that I could be assured that people like Allen Andrade would spend not just a life time in jail, but also the rest of eternity in Hell. The "gay panic" defence seems to have at long last gone to hell where it belongs.

Once again, like I did last year, I will light a candle especially for Angie on November 20th, Transgender Day of Remembrance...

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- A Colorado man was convicted of first-degree murder and a bias-motivated crime and sentenced to life in prison for killing a transgender teen he met on an online social networking site.

It was the first time in the nation that a state hate crime statute resulted in a conviction in a transgender person's murder, the advocacy group Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation said.

Although it all happened half a world away, it is far too close to home for me.

Does anyone know when the Honda Clarity will be on sale in Australia?

So I recorded Life on Mars last night and watched it today..... Despite the fact that it is good, and normally I would watch it simply because Harvey Keitel is in it.... I don't think I will watch it from here in. Last night was the episode where Sam meets his mother, and learns that his Dad isn't everything that he thought he was..... It's bizarre watching Harvey Keitel saying exactly the same lines as Philip Glenister... That and the fact that as DCI Gene Hunt he isn't driving a Cortina..... For an American remake, it wasn't too bad.... but it wasn't sufficiently different to interest me. I'd rather watch the British original again.
