There is a huge problem with going to see Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth.’ That problem is simply this…before going to see the flick, you most likely know about global warming and get that the end of the world is coming one day, far, far away but after seeing the movie, you kinda feel like you actually have to do something about it.. I never was much of an Al Gore fan... always thought he lacked the alpha male energy of Clinton. I guess he was too much of a new age girly man type for my nerves, but I did trust him. I did have the sense that he would try do the best he could for this country and also for this world. I guess that’s what set Gore apart from most other politicians. They might have been harping about doing things to make this country better, but none of them seemed to give a hoot about the globe. I’m still sad that the election WAS STOLEN, from Gore but after having watched the film I felt that maybe being president just wasn’t his calling. Maybe doing something to stop this world from annihilating itself is. I don’t want to have to explain to my goddaughter one day or to the children I might adopt, that I sat back and did nothing, while the Antarctic was melting, while millions of peoples homes were submerged in water, while great rivers dried up and a crisp chilly autumn breeze became something in the past. At first I walked from one end of town to the other feeling overwhelmed by this new sense of responsibility. Honestly my life felt a whole hell of a lot better when I could just sit on my ass and feel sad about global warming, but now feeling as though I have to do something about it is a huge ass drag and a daunting one. But as kismet might have it, I was flagged down by an adorable hostess at a local eatery. She tried to talk me out of buying bottled water and instead paying a quarter to fill my jugs up at a well in town. A well?! When was the last time, you heard about a well? She said, she too found the thought of trying to do something about this huge crisis overwhelming so instead she’d chosen to do something small, to change just her little slice of the world, to go to the well. Well, well... isn’t that what it’s all about. All of us, changing our little slice of the world. I have to admit, the last couple of nights, I was too lazy to wash out the empty cans of cat food and put them in the recycling bin. I know, I feel like shit about it, but tonight, I rinsed the damn can and I won’t do it again. I don’t think I can handle the long schlep to the well, but soon as I get back to NYC I’m gonna buy one of those water purifiers so I can stop investing in the bazillion plastic bottles. Maybe I’ll walk a little more, subway (AAAK) a little more and cab it a little less. I’m going to call up Con Edison and ask them about Green energy. I’m gonna start buying hemp products. It’s not a lot but it’s a start. Meanwhile, there are no Republicans and Democrats, no lefties and righties or in betweens when it comes to saving the world. So please go out and watch the movie AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH and then go out and do something about global warming. Banded together, we can make a difference. Wednesday, July 26
Have you ever had a girlfriend? One day they love you, the next they can’t stand anything about you. Have you ever been a woman’s first lover? Well, if you have then you know… you don’t take away someone’s chastity and then just walk away. No…. breaking the hymen means serious commitment or, well at least a pretense of one. Only the biggest jerk would deflower a young lady and then run away. Then say you do deflower this lady and you do stick around. The problem is no matter how much you try she will always, always have doubt in her heart, she will always wonder…since this is the only person I have made love with, how do I know its really any good? She will smile dreamily at you, all the time wondering what might it have been like if someone else, someone taller, someone richer, someone bigger, someone bolder had picked her cherry. Now imagine that your girlfriend, the young cherry you pitted, is not your only lover. Let’s say you decide to live dangerously and you go out say, to the other side of town and find a chaste young girl there and become her first lover too and then take her as your girlfriend. Well then your life becomes a tightrope of lies and secrets, living in fear, always worrying that one of your lovers meet the other and knowing all the while..that if these two women ever find out about each other…blood will be shed and most of it will be yours. Now let’s say you are well, either evil or psychotic or hmmm both and you decide that on your weekend business trips, that the young daughter of the inn-keeper a tender little thing who’s not even ever been kissed shall be your next conquest and after many flowers and a few chocolate bars you coax her with the help of a bottle of peach schnapps into giving it up for you and then ever after make her home your weekend stop, the presents to her father growing ever more expensive as he grows every more suspicious and you keep on eye on the size of her belly as you also keep and eye on the size of her father’s shotgun. Exhausted yet? This is, if you are counting the saga of breaking in three virgins.
Someone needs to tell these little idiots that this is not anything close to heaven and really quite the opposite. Yes dears..I’m fairly sure that 72 virgins is what happens to you if you go to hell. Sunday, July 23 Art and the magical land of sand

JR mentioned an article in the Boston Globe about a new intolerance in Provincetown and asked me for the low down.. So here goes JR...thanks for asking… Rick Hines who publishes the weekly in town The Provincetown Magazine, evidently told a woman named Cabrall who owns the tourist trolley that gives tours around town that she was a bigot. Cabrall was one of a few people who sent out a petition to stop gay marriage.. Now first of all, I have to say that anyone who makes their livelihood giving tours of Provincetown is pretty damn lame if they also want to stop gay marriage. One would think the lady in question should move to a red state where she’d be much happier. But ya know those gays coming to town to get married do spend a whole lotta money on trolley rides I also think this was a typical Ptown overblown thing. Hines yelled at the lady and she ran out and called the cobs. This led to a whole bunch of straight folks saying they are being harassed by gays. On my end, I’ve been going thru something I never in 15 years have experienced in this gay gay town; straight guys driving by on bikes... in cars and hitting on me, A LOT! like 10 times in the last week. Hey its not like I cant handle being hit on by guys, but in Ptown I sure don’t expect it. The 4th of July was about the ugliest weekend I’ve ever seen here, with police on horseback to protect the town. The cops were scared since at last years July 4th a riot broke out between cops and drunken straight teens.. So you might have some gays in town kinda thinking what the hell are these straight folks turning our town into. And of course, you have some straights in town thinking, what the hell are these queers parading around about. So yes, I have felt the tension and really hope it was just limited to the 4th of July. The amazing thing about Ptown is not that it’s a gay town, or a straight town, or an artist's town or a nature buff's town or a writer's town, but that its all of those things; blue haired old ladies, next to drag queens, next to painters. I do hope all this blows away soon. And by the way a word to the beer drinking straight college boys who have been blowing into town lately… “If you see a woman walking down the street and you think she’s hot…maybe take a tip from me. If she’s gay, she is only gonna be annoyed by you hooting at her and trust me, if she’s straight, she’s gonna be just as annoyed, because regardless of sexual orientation, that shit doesn’t work on anybody!”

H is for Hell At the moment, my brother, my sister-in-law, my young nieces and baby nephew I am thinking of my sister-in-law Dahlias brother who with tears in his eyes, walked away from the home he had built for himself and his family, from his life, from his livelihood
“Sweetie, “he said, they’ve been trying to kill your people since the early Romans and it just doesn’t stop. No wonder you’re paranoid!” Why? I don’t know, but what I do know is this, here today, in the year 2006 it’s still happening. As I watch the Moslem fundamentalist terrorists, scapegoat the Jews and anoint America as their Jew loving enemy, I see again, a blind ignorant rage, that wants nothing but genocide…
Then, then I can promise you, the murderers would turn on themselves, because with the scapegoat removed, there is no further veil over ones mirror… I pray, I pray this day never comes Friday, July 14
