I Am A Political Activist

Okay, I'm not really. But I did have my first picture published, in an AIDS-awareness advent calendar put out by the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance.

You can see it here

So, I wasn't completely aware that it was an AIDS-related calendar when I agreed to let them use the picture. Actually, I was just kind of stoked that someone had noticed and liked it enough to want to publish it. I guess, though, that it's good that it's being used to draw attention to something important.

I use the word "publish" loosely, in the sense that someone is putting my picture on paper and making it available... the monetary aspects that one may associate with publication don't really come into play, but I do know that the creative designer makes a killer raspberry trifle, and I'm hoping that will become part of the equation at some point.

Anyways, I'm pretty excited about December, now: especially the 4th. Hooray!

COME ON!

You have to bring THAT up? Just let me enjoy the moment... lol.

Yeah, it's been a while. But I've dished out a whole lot of pizza, chair-danced to some great tunes and spent time with wonderful people. That's almost like winning, right?

Thanks, Nuno.

(sniffle) I didn't mean it. I was just trying to think of something nice that I actually managed to say... and that was the best one... but then...

well, it really isn't the same thing as winning, or you wouldn't tell us on the two occasions when you have.

Gorgeous shot, Darryl. On the reading for Dec. 4, what does "God&apos" (I don't have it open right now - so that's just a guess at what it actually is) mean? At first I thought it was a typo, but saw it in several times. I'm obviously leading a very sheltered life...

Uh, I'm not sure I'm understanding you completely, but I think God is used in the traditional sense...
