The big news!

January 31, 2010 | 63 Comments

A few days ago, I hinted at some big news based on my new-found resolution to spend more time cultivating the relationships in my life. I didn’t want to put the carriage before the horse. But the horse has arrived… and so it’s time for the carriage.
In just about four weeks, I’m moving – again.
I’ll [...]

talky blog: Self-loathing gays.

January 30, 2010 | 104 Comments

I decided to go old-school with this week’s talky blog, filmed while I was still in Sydney. The topic: Self-loathing gays.
Sorry about the crappy video/audio quality – my normal camera wasn’t cooperating.

My larger body.

January 29, 2010 | 48 Comments

Late last night (technically, early this morning), I arrived back in Rhode Island after traveling for some 27 or 28 hours. I traveled across half of this planet, which I like to think of as my larger body.
My smaller body is this sack of shirtless skin, muscle and bones that you’ve come to know so [...]

Leavin’ on a jet plane…

January 27, 2010 | 50 Comments

On one hand, It seems like it was just yesterday when I arrived in Sydney, Australia. On the other hand, it feels like I’ve had a lifetime’s worth of adventures. I’ve visited countless beaches, seen remarkable animals (though no kangaroos!), eaten Vegemite, and even met a few good friends along the way.
In just a few [...]

More pain, more to gain!

January 26, 2010 | 45 Comments

In my disgruntled mumblings in yesterday’s post, I wrote that “the more something hurts, the more there is to learn.”
I think it is worth expanding on that observation.
Our suffering is caused by a gap between the way things are and the way we want things to be. The further our will is from the will [...]

Happy Australia Day! And an almost farewell…

January 25, 2010 | 58 Comments

Today is January 26, a national holiday in Australia called Australia Day. Similar to July 4th in the United States, Australia Day is a day of patriotism and national pride.
Today is also my second-to-last day in Australia. Saying “good bye” is bittersweet. I usually don’t get very personal on my blog, but I am going [...]

When to tell your parents that you are gay.

January 24, 2010 | 114 Comments

A lot of people e-mail me with questions about coming out. More specifically, many of the e-mails are about coming out to parents. Overwhelmingly, the question is: Should I tell my parents that I am gay? I’m not an expert on all things gay, but I’m usually glad to add my own two cents.
Coming out [...]

Lessons from Heidi Montag: What message are you sending the world?

January 23, 2010 | 58 Comments

In Sydney, I’ve been fortunate enough not to watch much television. This morning, while getting dressed, I happened to catch part of an interview with Heidi Montag.
Heidi is a 23 year-old star of MTV’s The Hills, and is the wife of fellow cast member Spencer Pratt. Over the last few years, Heidi has made countless [...]

January 22, 2010 | 51 Comments

Truth be told, I’m not a big believer in problems. I think everything that happens serves a greater purpose, and the challenges that we encounter today are here to serve our evolution. Nonetheless, here’s my best advice for overcoming those great big obstacles.

My tits are not real.

January 22, 2010 | 40 Comments

They may be all natural, but my tits are anything but real.
Living in Australia, land of the muscle men, it’s really easy to get caught up in all things physical. My gym, for example, looks like an audition for the next Falcon Studios porno flick.
On Sunday, I’m getting photographed for and editorial in one of [...]
