Woohoo I got a job without even an interview. They hired me just from lookin at my resume. It's only a temp position and doesn't pay much, but IT'S A JOB!!!

Of course it wasn't from my brother in Ohio, it was from Kevin in Korea.

This is what someone said to me, that I want to share. I received this from my brother, I'm not close to my family, so this was a tearjerker for me:


Hey Share-bear,

I can't tell you how happy we are that you are feeling better. We think about you often, and we want you to know how grateful we are you are part of our family and how loved you are. I know we don't get the chance to see each other or talk much, but we love and miss you just the same. If you ever need anything, just let us know. We will do our best to help. We think you are one great Sister/Sister-in-law/Aunt! I think you've already given us all the best present we could ask for when we hear that you are feeling better. Good luck with those positions you are trying for and, really, let us know if we can help.

Just wanted to share an e-mail I received from my brother, I'm not close to my family, so this was a tearjerker for me:

and what do you do when the trust is gone Sharp?

You see nothing wrong with it, even after what we've just been through . Yes Adam is an extraordinary case, but in general it should be questioned thoroughly. You have proven that to me.

Depends on the circumstances. In my case my girlfriend had a friend who was a guy. She swore up and down that's all he was. Well they pulled the wool over my eyes. I'm a F^@king FOOL! I think it should definately be questioned and rules set!

Amsterdam gay Christmas features same-sex Nativity

(Amsterdam, Netherlands) A Dutch gay group said Monday it has planned a “Pink Christmas” festival for the first time in Amsterdam, featuring a manger stall with two Josephs and two Marys.

Other attractions in the 10-day festival include parties, an open-air market, gay-themed films, an ice skating rink and religious services on Dec. 25.

ProGay group chairman Frank van Dalen said Monday the event is intended to increase the choices for homosexual men and women during the Christmas holiday week.

“Right now, there’s not much to do,” he said.

The festival will also encourage people to think about homosexuality and religion, Van Dalen added.

Some Christian groups protested. The organization Christians for Truth said the idea “mocks the core concepts of Evangelism.”

“By putting Joseph and Mary down as homosexuals, a cracked human fantasy is being tacked on to history from the Bible,” the organization said in a statement urging the city and organizers to cancel the event.

The manger, with actors playing the parts of Joseph and Mary, goes on display Dec. 21.

Van Dalen said it was not intended to be offensive, but was meant as a “wink” at heterosexual assumptions.

“Christmas is about more than religion, it’s also about love and families, not to mention shopping,” he said. “Two men or two women can form a family too these days, even one with a child.”

Gay marriage was legalized in the Netherlands in 2001, and adoption rules are the same here for gay or straight couples.

Van Dalen said the Pink Christmas initiative was also intended to help promote Amsterdam as a gay capital after a decline in its reputation in recent years.

A study last month found that homophobia is an ingrained problem in the city despite the Dutch reputation for tolerance, and physical attacks on gay men are a weekly affair.

Nobody Else Will ~ The Cliks

If not for you, there would be
So little of this part of me
If not for you, the skies above
would not be blue or even
have enough

I see the skies, I see your eyes
I see the cars all passing by
I'm staying here, with you
my dear

If not for you, there would be
a bigger hole inside of me
If not for you, the stars above
would not be new or try to
carry love

I see the skies, I see your eyes
I see the cars all passing by
I'm staying here, with you
my dear
I'm telling you the honest truth

So don't let me down again
I just want to be a good man
Don't let me down again
I just want to be your best friend
And I'll be there for you in
darkest nights

When love is lying still
I'll be there for you
to hold you tight
be there for you
when nobody else will

Oooh.. Nobody else will
I see the skies I see you eyes
I see the cars all passing by
