A Week Away

August 25, 2014 by

10153050_10202949254427454_2109688482_nThis week I am preparing to go out on the road again.  This time I’ll be gone for about 9 months, maybe a bit longer.

There is a LOT to get done before I leave next Monday including putting my entire house in storage and building out the cargo van we are traveling in to make it a home on wheels.  That said, my sexy adventures will be limited and my writing time even less so…  The only porn I’ll be watching is DIY van conversion porn, however, there is a sexy/kinky party I am hoping to attend just before we hit the road, so when I come back online next Monday hopefully I’ll have new stories and perspectives to share!

While I’m gone take some time to look back at past blogs if you like, or write me something.  Think about sharing your own stories, I can always use contributors to the Wednesday blog, and I love to hear varying perspectives on all the subjects.  Is there something you’d like me to write about that I haven’t touched on yet?  Let me know!

Be in touch, and I’ll be back online soon, My Friends.

To Breath and Being,

Fear and Faith

I woke up
My parents were divorced
Both sets of Grandparents
Divorced
I didn’t know my Great Grandparents, except my Great Grandmother
Her husband died before I was born
Three of my four Aunts
Divorced
I’m divorced

The marriage lasting so far in my family
Is the one between my born-again Christian missionary Aunt
And her high school boyfriend
They have a litter of kids and live in Guatamala

I wonder
Are fear and faith sitting in line with one another
A continuum strengthening as well as destroying relationships of all type and sort
I think community holds the middle
Naked Mole Rats crawling over one another
Blind but figuring it out together

The smell of our loved ones makes us safe

Ritual
Coming together
Sounding off on the finer, admirable aspects of humanity
Advice to the lowliest points in ourselves
Voice that with faith we move on, there is a way
But without our tribe, who keeps the heart strong
What path is discoverable

I am not religious
I do not believe faith belongs to God fearing masses
But beneath the dogma, cults might do something right
Our bones know the need for others
Wrapped into their traditions, they fulfill

Come to dinner with me
Bend your face to mine
Talk bloodrush and sorrow, joy, trepidation, adventure, and fear
Daydream with me

Therapy has helped
Outstretched fingers of my friends leading me from darkness too many times to count
Partners and family and loved ones crawling over one another in the dark
We fight, we fuck, we love, we cuddle, we learn

Paralysis is no fodder for connection

Your warm hand on my shoulder releases me
Helps me find faith
That love is worth the work
The work is overcoming fear

Mustache and a Dance

August 11, 2014 by

Last night was my last show with my troupe All The Kings Men (ATKM) for what might be a very very long time…  we’ll see.  It was a solid show, we’ve been together for 12 years now.  That’s a lot of performance art with a small group of brilliant people under my belt.  It’s been the longest relationship I’ve been in aside from family.

We started out as a drag troupe, and drag is technically a large part of what we do, but really I’d say we’re a troupe that plays with pop culture and status quo ideas of gender, sexuality, and lifestyle, and who mixes a strong dose of satire and truth into the concoction.  A lot of our work peers under the covers of a character to let the audience get a better idea of what “really” turns them on…  We play men, women, super heros, animals, kids, townies, clowns…  you name it, but we play these characters with a lot of heart and a lot of intention.

I take this troupe for granted.  I forget how the ideas we’re playing with are dangerous and shocking to some people.  I forget that a portion of our audience is hungry for our work because they are hungry for acceptance in their own lives too.  We’ll make you laugh at how simple and stupid life can be, we’ll make you question what you thought about “that type of guy”, we’ll remind you what it was like to be in love for the first time, we’ll break your heart, and we’ll turn you on.

Live theater is raw power and sometimes I forget that the room full of people who gather want to be entertained by my sweat.  I belong to my audience: every inch of my body, every vision in my imagination, every muscle triggered in the storytelling, every emotion rolling across my face.  Pure and simple, this work is service.  I do it for my audience, I do it for my sanity, I do it because I have to; even in topping a room full of viewers, I submit.

To Breath and Being,
