The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

I love Chi-town!

The obviously not unattractive young men of Alpha Delta Phi were on hand this week to welcome Fred Phelps' kin to Chicago. Enjoy the video. I concur with Andy Towle, Red shorts and white bathrobe is a hit.

Quite the week

After teaching ALL the librarians in a local school district new software, and discovering that librarians are quite the sexists, (men do technical stuff and lift and tote, creative stuff isn't for them) AND giving not one or two, but THREE mid term exams, along with working two evenings at the grocery, I've had quite the week.

But I'm back, and though I'd love for things to settle down to normal today, I now get to do ALL that work I neglected while training this week. Isn't this fun???

But next week I'm GONE DO YOU HEAR ME!!! G-O-N-E!!!!!!

It'll be me a horse, a laptop, and an Ipod. That's it. No communication with the outside world will take place. I'm taking a tent and a sleeping bag and some food and heading off to camp and sleep. It portends to be a bit colder than I'd hoped, but I'm doing it anyway.

As we know I do not love the Republican party. A few Republicans and a few reformed, absolutely, but the party...not so much. However, today I read something on Towleroad quoting Michael Steele as saying he doesn't believe that gay is a choice. "I think that there’s a whole lot that goes into the makeup of an individual that, uh, you just can’t simply say, oh, like, 'Tomorrow morning I’m gonna stop being gay.' It’s like saying, 'Tomorrow morning I’m gonna stop being black.'”

First time I EVER heard a black person make that equation. Perhaps there is hope that African Americans' will not forever look upon civil rights as their personal territory. That would be nice.

Tomorrow is Hot Guy Friday and I can't wait. I'm thinking college guys. For all the obvious reasons. So I'm off to shop.

Love
