"Same Gender Loving People - No. 3538"
"Love Is The Most Important Freedom..."
Positive images of people like me... The truth of the matter is that we all need to see people like ourselves. So everyday, I'll post a photo, drawing or some other artwork that depicts Same Gender Loving People as what we are... Only Human.
"The Truth Of My Life In Songs..."
I've often thought that much of my life could be set to music... And if so, this would be one of the songs on the soundtrack of my life...
This would be the track in the scenes of the early days of our romance...
He was so passionately intense and yet in the next moment could be so aloof... I struggled to know if loved me or not, but before long, he convinced me that he did and that only made the whole thing that much harder to understand.
"I'm Not In Love"
10cc
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not in love

"Love And Life's Journeys..."
From the work of Chicago born photographer Richard Renaldi. Over the course of more than two decades, Richard has recorded images of himself and his partner Seth Boyd in their hotel rooms across the country and around the world for his project "Hotel Room Portraits."
I fell in love with these images from the very first time that I saw them. There is something incredibly familiar and comforting in recognizing not only the love between Richard and Seth, but also the rigors of travel and the occasional weary eyes and tiredness that we all fall prey to. Moreover, these photos reveal an intimacy and comfortableness that one finds only when two people are truly in love... They reveal "love and life's journeys."
Richard Renaldi was born in Chicago in 1968. He received his BFA in photography from New York University in 1990. Exhibitions of his photographs have been mounted in galleries and museums throughout the United States, Asia, and Europe. In 2006 Renaldi's first monograph, Figure and Ground, was published by the Aperture Foundation. His second monograph, Fall River Boys, was released in 2009. Richard Renaldi is the founder and publisher of Charles Lane Press.

"The Truth Of My Life In Songs..."
I've often thought that much of my life could be set to music... And if so, this would be one of the songs on the soundtrack of my life...
This would be the track from a scene on the cutting room floor...
In the midst of our romance, I'd listen to this almost every day as I worked on the old house I dreamed of sharing with him. And in my heart and in my mind's eye, when this sweet song played, I could somehow see us swaying in each other's arms as we danced across the living room.
My love for him was is like this...
Willie Nelson
I'd have to be crazy
To stop all my singing
And never play music again
To stop all my singing
And never play music again
You'd call me a fool
If I grabbed up a top hat
And ran out to flag down the wind
If I grabbed up a top hat
And ran out to flag down the wind
I'd have to be weird
To grow me a beard
Just to see what the rednecks would do
To grow me a beard
Just to see what the rednecks would do
But I'd have to be crazy
Plum out of my mind
To fall out of love with you
Plum out of my mind
To fall out of love with you
Now I know I've done weird things
I told people I heard things
When silence was all that abounds
I told people I heard things
When silence was all that abounds
Been days when it pleased me
To be on my knees
Following ants, as they crawled across the ground
To be on my knees
Following ants, as they crawled across the ground
I've been insane on a train
But I'm still me again
The place where I hold you is true
But I'm still me again
The place where I hold you is true
So I know I'm alright
'Cause I'd have to be crazy
To fall out of love with you
'Cause I'd have to be crazy
To fall out of love with you
Now I don't intend to
But should there come a day
When I say that I don't love you
You can love me away
But should there come a day
When I say that I don't love you
You can love me away
I sure would be dingy
To live in an envelope
Waiting alone for a stamp
To live in an envelope
Waiting alone for a stamp
You'd swear I was loco
To rub for a genie
While burning my hand on the lamp
To rub for a genie
While burning my hand on the lamp
And I may not be normal
But nobody is
So I'd like to say 'fore I'm through
But nobody is
So I'd like to say 'fore I'm through
I'd have to be crazy
Plumb out of my mind
To fall out of love with you
Plumb out of my mind
To fall out of love with you
I'd have to be crazy
Plumb out of my mind
To fall out of love with you
Plumb out of my mind
To fall out of love with you
