Freedom comes tomorrow

My parents are staying the night again. The D-Backs won again (bastards) but thankfully they weren't in the 'WIN' section this time so it's back home they go. They're staying through church and breakfast tomorrow and then going home. I managed to get out of going to church with them because of a morning meeting I have on the website I'm building.

Truth be told, I haven't been to church in a long time. I use to go... well... religiously. I was brought up a Lutheran, one of those religions that teaches Homosexuality is an abomination. Yet I still went. I mean it wasn't all bad. Some might say you can't pick and choose what you follow, but I always disagreed with that point. Organized religion is overflowing with things we no longer follow in modern day society, so why would this be any different?

But I'd finally had enough when the commercialism that has overtaken over religions finally started effecting our synod. Requests for donations to help build things or to fund this or that grew more frequent and finally I'd had enough of it and decided not to continue attending. My "home church" is still all the way across town. My parents keep bugging me to change that but I really don't think I would be attending the new church if I did relocate.

Another Night..

The D-Backs won...so my parents are staying an extra night. I really wish I didn't have to do the things I do when they come up. I go thru a process called "de-querifying". The Instinct Magazines come off the coffee table, the rainbow necklace gets stuffed into the bottom of the underwear drawer, and so on and so on. My family is incredibly religious...I've got a minister for a cousin...so you can only imagine how badly the shit would hit the fan if it were found out that I was gay.

I just don't have the courage to tell them the truth right now. And given their advanced years, I'm not sure they'll ever know. It may be best just to let them continue on thinking what they want to think. My best friend Janell says that my mother probably already knows. I wouldn't be surprised if she did. But we just don't talk about it. She'll occasionally ask if there are any 'nice girls' in my life. I don't have the heart to tell her the only nice girl that will come close to being my girlfriend would be Janell and that she's already married.

I'm starting to ramble...and doze off... so I'll bid goodnight from my bed. (Had to set up the laptop since my parents are currently asleep in the guest bedroom/computer room...

'LOSE' Section

It's the bottom of the 8th and the D-Backs are ahead... not exactly what I was hoping for. :(

Visitors

My parents are coming up this weekend to catch some D-Back baseball games...and also to seek technical assistance with Mom's laptop. They've got tickets in the 'WIN' section tonight. The 'WIN' section is some stupid promotion that the team came up with to try to generate some ticket sales. If you're seated in the 'WIN' section and the D-Backs win, you get tickets to the next game for free.

It's always hard when they come up. It's not that I don't love my parents, I do... but it's I need to be really careful when they do come up so as not to let on that I'm on the 'pink' team. The trouble with being a closeted homo is that you lead this double life... sometimes hiding things from those that are suppose to be closest to you.

So you can imagine the horror that came upon my face when they informed me they were in the 'WIN' section for tonight's game. Here's hoping the D-Backs lose...

Hidden Hospital?

Somebody got the wild idea of taking scenes from Star Trek: Hidden Fronter and editing them with the old General Hospital Theme. The results are pretty cool. Check it out...

Back to Azeroth

Well, it's back into WoW for me tonight. The guilds are running Molten Core and I need to be there to track points. I've really kind of burnt out of World of Warcraft. It's really the same thing over and over again. Maybe by taking a break from it, except for the DKP raiding, I might get interested again. I don't know. It just doesn't hold the appeal that it use to for me.

Senseless Commercial

I'm gonna start trying my hand at graphic designs on t-shirts and other products. You'll be able to pick up all the stuff I do in My Deviant Shop. The first design was actually Chuck's idea. I take no responsibility in this at all! LOL :P
