My first and only poem...

I wrote this back in college.  I'm not sure where I was, but I just re-found it in one of my notebooks:

Who Is She?

Who is she, this girl who will steal my heart?
Who is she, this girl from whom I will not part?
Will she make a lot of money, or will I support her?
If the latter is the case, will I be able to afford her?
Who is she, this girl who will straighten out my life?
Who is she, this girl who will be my wife?
Is she white? black? yello? tall? short? fat? thin?
Does it really matter, the color of her skin?
All that I know is that she'll be wonderful and kind.
All that I know is I will lover her mind.
Because all that really counts is what's inside.
And that's what I want from my beautiful bride.
Not bad, huh?

The Tongue Olympics

I'm watching some old Celebrity Poker episodes and I have decided that Gina Gershon must have spent much of her early years sitting in front of men and doing things with her tongue to learn what mesmerizes them. 

Whatever she did, it works.... REALLY well.

I'm sure most of you are thinking "too much information, Tom!".  Sorry for that.

Update: I was trying to find a picture and found a Maxim article where she states “I have a really long tongue. I had to have speech therapy to learn how to swallow."  No comment on that one either.

Here she is licking her (?) foot.  Not quite what I had in mind, but she does have a long tongue.

From the "Duh!" Department...

George Takei has come out of the closet

You know the one; it has no clothes in it, is completely transparent and everyone can see into it.  The one with people all standing around saying "Doesn't he know we can see him in there?".

For those who can't envision this, here's an artist's (my) rendition:

(NOTE: You can see him...) I mean tell me this man is straight:



OK, all stupid stereotypes aside.  Who cares?  If people don't stop pointing out things like this, things will never be any different.  It is just like people who point out that (fictitious person) Mary Johnson was the first Lesbian African American Superintendant of Schools for Wichita, Kansas.  Again, where do you draw the line?  When is it just not significant? 

If people want to be treated like what they do/are/feel is normal, they have to stop making a big event out of their "normal" lives/activiites.
