New Design

Quick post, but for some reason I decided to make this shirt design. I think it's pretty funny, but I may be the only one...


If you would like one, here's the link to my website... Furball Studio

4 years and counting...

Yep - I've been clean for four years to the day. And no, I don't say sober because I happily drink on occasion. I have to make the distinction because I've been called on it before.

Unfortunately, the desire isn't gone. In fact, it's still something I think about and want daily. I think about it, smell it, imagine it, crave it. According to the shrink that'll probably never go away. It isn't as bad as it used to be, but honestly, if put down in front of me -
Meth or Coke - I would do it without much of a thought. At that point it becomes an afterthought. So, the fact that I'm here - healthy and clean is something that I'm very thankful for.

It has taken a lot of work to get this far and the further I get the more reason I have to stay away from it. So, I have 4 years behind me that will hopefully kick in if ever faced with the prospect of it again. But that's part of the trick - staying away from those "opportunities."

To treat myself, I've put a down payment on a beautiful new piece of glass by "Viscosity Glass"...

US Fights UN on Homosexuality

Yes, I'm back...trips were wonderful, amazing, blah blah blah...life is good...

What got me to start posting again (and yes, I'm going to start posting regularly again) is that once again we have made ourselves look like idiots to the rest of the civilized world.

The UN has drafted a declaration that would decriminalize homosexuality all over the world (in all UN member countries at least.) We are the only Western country not to sign it. All of Europe, some Asian countries, Australia, and even Mexico (MEXICO!!) have signed it. Not us.

The concern is that it goes against states' rights...um, what happened to human rights. We're more willing to uphold the rights of a state over the rights of a person and we're willing to do it in front of the entire world!

My hair (what little there is) is standing on end!
