Got Questions? Connect with the Obama Campaign

current song: Tu Fais Le Malin (Catherine Ferroyer)

Yep, that's the headline for Jennifer Beals' (a.k.a. Bette Porter from The L Word) upcoming interview with Tobias Wolff, an accomplished law professor, civil rights lawyer & the Chair of the National LGBT Policy Committee for Barack Obama's presidential campaign. She wants the interview questions on anything & everything affecting the LGBT community she'll be asking Professor Wolff to come directly from us (members of OurChart), so here's what I posted - on my part as a gay rights supporter.

Equality Fight

Being a senator who supports civil unions, why is Mr Obama against gay marriages? Just because he doesn't want to mix his religious beliefs as a Christian with politics? What good is a set of basic rights given without the legal assurance to strike a proper, or should I say - fair balance?

My questions sounded rather clear-cut & simple I know, but I wish they'll be chosen & answered so we could reach an understanding & seek clarity with a tricky issue as such. Damn, since when have I become so serious? This is one part of me that I actually like!

Friend Or Foe?

current mood: devious

Thursday - supposed to a night of fun & laughter. Maybe half of that, cos I ended up hurting my back & feeling shitty. Yeah... Nearly puked my guts out over a goddamn humongus glass of Coke! My friend gulped down a glass of beer on the other hand. Fearing she would get into a driving accident, I took over the wheels (obviously not supposed to) & let her stay over. I told her I needed my bed cos I had a lousy back. She had the cheek to argue shamelessly that she should be the one taking my bed since she was a guest. Out of goodwill, I said fine. I tried sleeping on the sofa in my living room, but had to crawl back into my room cos it got really hot out there & I had air-con. 4 mere hours on the floor & my back hurts till now. I nearly flared up when she asked if she could pray for my back. Why? It was her fault to begin with, & how many times do I have to stress that I'm an atheist? I don't & will never place my faith in something or someone that doesn't really exist or can't be reached. We used to be co-workers, then friends. Things took a turn for the worse many years ago when she dropped the ring (bought together with my ex-bf at Centrepoint) into the river at Clarke Quay. Now that we've matured & trying to survive an almost-dead friendship, she had to go fuck things up again. Why?! I now understand why the majority of my friends turn from sweethearts to fiesty bitches. Some are truly adorable & can definitely be excused, while I have no qualms cutting the incorrigible ones loose. I admit to being blur by nature, but hey - how stupid you guys think I am with a 132 IQ level? Go ahead & defame me, double-cross me, run me down etc. Just don't assume I'll never know or take it lying down. Once I retaliate, I'll make sure that person doesn't have the slightest bit of strength to inflict another wound on me. I'm not proud to say it, but this has happened before. Hope I wouldn't be compelled to take such desperate measures again..........

Gym, Gym, Baby!

Me gymming? Not in a million years, but this time it's for real. It's at The Tanglin Club, very near Scotts Road. Initially I joined my aunt there for evening swim & food, but her friend (a.k.a. gym instructor) suggested training me since she wouldn't do it. All paid for, plus there're beefcakes to oogle at (hehe...). Think I'm goddamn straight, cos my eyes kinda go fresh red whenever I stare too hard at some guy's ass. Tried all the best eye medication but none worked, so it must have been a virus or just ME! As much as I hate gymming, I'll commit to my training wholeheartedly cos...
1) I honestly wanna get lean & healthy
2) I can't imagine myself looking & feeling like a pig in my 30s
3) I expect men & women, gays & straights to check me out whenever I walk past them
4) Not everyone has my luck so why blow it?
Made another killing at the stock market today. Should have more than enough to survive the following months with generous commission from aunt & dad. Could have done this e-trading shit f/t but I rather take on a day job I dig, & party the nights away! Nah, still a homebody on weekdays. My gorgeous darling's journal has been deleted, I wonder what actually went wrong. We're 2 opposites who met at a postcard-trading session at McDonald's some light years ago. Those fuck'n 3D images on my postcards still give me a headache, yet he found the hidden images in a heartbeat! K, my head's dropping - meaning time for bed. Will blog again soon, bye bye LJ.

9-11

crushed

current mood: crushed

It's now 2pm on September 11 in Denver, 4pm in New York City. 2 reasons to why I remember this date by heart:

1) It's my beloved aunt's birthday
2) Close to 5000 lives were lost at the World Trade Center & the Pentagon 6 years ago

Many were missing & presumed dead. I stepped foot in there 7 years ago, when I fulfilled my childhood dream to tour Manhattan. Also, a post-graduation celebration before I flew home to Singapore. Now I only get to visit again in my dreams. Investigations showed that the fireproofing on the Twin Towers' steel infrastructures was blown off by the initial impact of the planes. The exterior columns could no longer support the buildings after the extensive damage on the core columns, therefore causing the tragic collapse. A massive murder as such is totally brutal, not to mention uncalled for. I kept wondering what those psycho head-wrappers were thinking. Guess what we can do is to pray - pray for the lost souls, pray for the mastermind to burn in hell......

Will I Ever Be The Apple of Someone's Eye?

current song: Eve, The Apple Of My Eye (Bell X1)

Eve, The Apple Of My Eye

You left it, I sent it
I want it back
You left it, I sent it
I want it back

If I had you here, I'd clip your wings
Snap you up and leave you sprawling on my pin
This plan of mine is oh so very lame
Can't you see the grass is greener where it rains

You left, I died,
I went and you cried
You came, I think
But I never really know
I've served my time
I've watched you climb
The wrong incline
But what do I know

Accept it, Don't let it
Turn the screw
Accept it, And let it
Scream back at you

Now this applies both equally to you and I
The only thing that we share
Is the same sky
These empty metaphors
They're all in vain
Like can't you see the grass is greener where it rains

In the garden Snake was a charmin'
And Eve said let's give it a try
Now lead us not into temptation
But no matter how hard I try
When in the garden and
Snake is a charmin'
And Eve says let's give it a try
Eve is the apple of my eye

And I lie behind you
And I cradle you in the palm of me
And I pat your hair down
I think will we sink or swim?
'Cause we could do either on a whim
