Funny thing about black and white.
You mix it together and you get grey.
And it doesn't matter how much white
you try and put back in, you're never
going to get anything but grey.

I'm not sure I like Facebook anymore...

So I have a feeling I've been going through a period of personal growth, which is partly why I haven't made an entry on here in a long time.  That and as I tell everyone who asks me what's new, nothing.  I eat, sleep, poop, shower, go to work, and come home.  Wash, rinse, repeat.  Although not in the same order...sometimes.

The only bad thing about personal growth, is that much like growing during puberty you don't necessarily know that it happens until you bash your knee into something or trip and fall.  And then there are the growing pains, and no I'm not talking about the TV show.

You know how in your life there are just things that need to be separate, whether they're friends, work, fun, family, or food?  (Odd how all of that starts with F, huh?)  Well I've felt like that for a long time.  But as things go on it seems that all those lines separating things in my life have become blurred.  And the most glaring example of that is Facebook.  I say that because it's facebook that allows us to see who is talking with whom and about what, for the most part.  It also connects those disparate parts of your life into an intricate and complicated web people like to refer to as a social network.

Add to that that the Republicans made a huge comeback in the US government, which means that as an out gay man, my dog has more rights than I do as far as their concerned.  I'm feeling pretty dismal.  At least Christine O'Donnell (however you spell her name) didn't win.  *whew*

So, please bear with me as I go through this period of personal growth and self revelation.  And the holidays, which are probably going to affect things more than I'd like.  But what can you do.
