I think Cazwell is awesome, and hilarious. But he's not so much a rapper who happens to be gay, as he is a gay rapper. If that makes sense. Like, when he performs he has two male backup dancers who wear very little.

Dan Telfer (this one) is my cousin! (And he is awesome and you should buy this.)

This book was amazing. I finished it a week ago. I couldn't put it down.  I even read while stopped for some construction traffic. I was disappointed when my line of cars was finally allowed through, because I wanted to keep reading.

My best friend was diagnosed in 2006 after a bunch of weird neurological symptoms, and luckily it hasn't progressed much at all.

I never thought of Glory Days as sad. I knew all the lyrics, they just don't make me sad. They seem to say to me that the feeling of missing the past is universal. The part about how someday they'll look back and see the current times as glory days sounds rueful, but, like, "ah, well, what can you do? Things didn't…
