Does God Hate?

A big yellow sign "God Hates Fags" was being carried around by a local man today. He walks up and down Duval St., the main street in Key West, toting signs and spouting doom and condemnation for all us sinners. One of his least popular signs is simply "God Hates USA". Is it just me, or does the idea of God hating seem strange? I thought God was Love. I thought God was Good. I thought God's Son spoke of loving all men. Regardless of anyone's views, regardless of whether you think God dislikes... Sign in to see full entry.

Rickshaw

Driving people up and down the street on a bicycle taxi is a fun, rewarding, and exhausting experience. It's like a giant exercise bike with passengers that pay you. But on windy days like today it can be rough. About 6 months ago the restaurant I was working at changed management. It went from a light-hearted outdoor cafe with a couple well-compensated servers to losing it's feeling, the atmosphere people loved, and having way too many employees covering each shift. Apparently they felt that... Sign in to see full entry.

Poker Night

About to go play some no-limit Texas Hold'em Poker. One of my obsessions. Been playing for about 5 years. Sometimes miss the casino's back home. You get to know all the other players after a while. Become like a large network of friends. Gambling probably isn't the best activity I could choose to obsess on. I've definitely had some ups and downs with it. But, like chess, I love the game. The math, the numbers, the logic, the psychology at play. In general, I find that games are the best tool... Sign in to see full entry.

Deeply Moved

The open mike was amazing. A lot of talent there. I played a few songs and feel that I did pretty well. People said they liked it, hope they were truthful;o) I am deeply moved by all the support and comments of fellow bloggers. Thanks guys, it means a lot. Writing is something I've always wanted to do, and done now and then in secret journals, but like my music, without an audience it's almost not worth anything. Too selfish maybe, don't know. So, I'll probably make Sunday night open mike a... Sign in to see full entry.

Open Mike Night

I've been invited to play my guitar and sing at open mike night down at Sippin'. Sounds weird even to say. I'm not the type of guy that does stuff like this. Keep going over and over in my mind whether I want to do it, or how I can justify not going. There is a lot of real talent here in Key West. People with years of experience and a large repertoire. I know some old folk songs, some classical, and some Dylan. I feel like I have no place among them. Yet, it's just a little coffeeshop, no one... Sign in to see full entry.
