Dude, you are an old soul. Shriekback. Fuck me, I haven't though of them since... well. for a long time.

But, speaking of Gang of Four, Entertainment! is one of the greatest records ever.

Re: 9270.) i shared my first kiss and first sex with someone who doesn't mean a thing to me. i regret it. i wish i could have waited.

At the bare minimum, I want to have respect and basic human empathy for any man I have sex with, regardless of whether I'll ever see him again. He and I share one thing at least: The imperative of human sexual contact. There's a simple beauty in this: We all have bodies, and this body is responding to mine, and mine to his. Maybe that represents a potential for a shared future, but more than likely it's just sparks in the dark. And what's wrong with that?

Recognizing that base commonality has often filled me with affection for my partner. We're brothers, if only for a very short time. So, if I feel nothing for him, that indicates I have come, not just with need, but with selfish desperation or lack of esteem, not just for myself, and other equally needy bodies, but for sexuality itself.

So, I have never regretted a single sexual episode in my life. Not one. Not an anonymous cock coming through a hole, not the two-week whirlwind sexfest I had with a Canadian punk I met on IRC. I had hoped we would become boyfriends, but that didn't happen. But hey, that's life.Why ruin good memories with unreasonable expectations?

Converse to this post, I can say honestly, the only regrets I have is that I haven't fucked more. I wish I had been less particular and more open. I wish I had taken more chances, more risks, if not with my body, then with my heart. I'm sure I would have had more fun and met more people and lived more life.

But will that sentiment ever get 95 likes in our still sex-phobic culture?

Re: Why Teens Don’t Tweet

homosuperior — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 22:17:04 -0000

I lobbed an observation at Louis Gray the other week about the fact that mainstream tech bloggers throw out these observations, such as Twitter is not about your friends, and that sort of description sticks because you folks are supposed to know what you're talking about without really having done any research on how various groups and subgroups and cultures use Twitter.

For instance, the gay male community's use of Twitter is very much about our friends, and largely not about people we have actually met in meatspace. Sure, we broadcast and share links and information (and porn, ahem) but we also say good morning to each other. Seems also clear that hookups and meetups and tweetups take place, as they do for all sorts of ad-hoc twitter groups and communities.

I don't doubt that there are other micro-communities doing similar things.

The basic thrust of this post, that teens don't tweet, appears correct, but some of the underlying assumptions and tangents are untested and unproven.

I think my last 30 minutes in Art Factory Hostel, during which two straight French girls "forced" José to kiss me multiple times, probably says more about homosocial desire than this film.

Re: How to turn a PC user into an Apple fanboy

homosuperior — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:03:04 -0000

Off the top of my head, The Mekons, a first-wave British punk band, recorded a two grand records in the mid-80s called Fear and Whiskey and Honky Tonkin, both obviously and unironically influenced by American country. Mekon leader Jon Langford later moved to Chicago and formed the Waco Brothers, labeled alt-country by some but it still sounds like roots rock/country played by punks, to me. Some of his Mekons buddies joined him later. The Godfathers, also British, always played a Cash cover during their encores. Again, off the top of my head. :-)

X was always country-influenced, as were quite a few great punk bands, back in the day. Social Distortion's cover of Ring of Fire, for instance, is about a billion times better than Adam Lambert's, probably because it admitted that you could not improve on the original. Some people get that.

Window OS, for the most part, has always been a series of riffs on, homages to, rip-offs of Mac OS. I don't think that fact would persuade anyone without a sense of history. Which excludes most American consumers.

I'm pleased that you found this review. One of the points I have tried to make in this blog through example is the importance, maybe the dominance, of desire in watching movies. I choose movies that personally illustrate this idea.

What are you working on now?

Hey Conorworld! Thanks for the comment and for subscribing.

Things are going pretty well here. But as far as the indie scene, if there is one, I haven't found it. I've half mind to make it happen myself. ;-)

I've been to Salon Pureyrredon a couple times for punkish shows and I'm supposed to interview a fairly impressive girl band for the blog. hope that happens.

i'll get back to blogging here soon.

Curious, Louis, you have more than one twitter account. How do you manage those with TweetDeck?

Re: louisgray.com: Prop 8 Tangles Religion, Tech and Politics

homosuperior — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 08:45:18 -0000

I've often been touched by Scoble's unequivocal support of gay marriage on FriendFeed, and now here, and after reading about Louis' intention to attend a marriage ceremony of a family friend, I hoped he would work his feelings about Prop 8 into a post. And here it is! Thoughtful, rational, balanced, just as I expected.

I can't imagine anyone getting too upset on either side because of the tone Louis took.

Further, I think it's absolutely essential that issues of faith not be dismissed or ridiculed when the topic of gay marriage comes up - a typically unhelpful leftie response. Really, there are few commentators willing to take this head on, and for that Louis, I thank you.

Finally, if you've ever been to a Pride parade you know that the contingent that gets the biggest, affectionate cheers is always PFLAG. ;-)

Re: This Utah Texan’s Voting for Obama

homosuperior — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:14:34 -0000

I'm only going to reply to the foreign policy part of your comment.

The stated justification of invading Iraq from the Bush Administration has changed over time, revealing the deep disconnect between strategy and tactics. First, it was because of the threat of WMDs, which, we now know, were not there in the first place. Then to remove Hussein, which we did. Later, it was to create a self-sustaining democracy unlike any in the region.

That democracy is there, in its infancy, and they want us out. So either we abide by our stated goals or we renew the idea of an American empire. I see no other courses of action or justifications for those courses. And here's where I suppose we must disagree. I don't think the U.S. can afford empire, in any shaded meaning of that term. Not economically, not ideologically. Not if we want to restore our soft and hard power in the world. We've already given Iran and al Queda the biggest gifts we ever could have given them: America's military might stretched to the breaking point and no longer focused on international terrorism, plus Iran a far bigger player in the region than it was before the invasion. How will staying in Iraq change any of that?

Only one candidate sees the situation as I do, and incidentally, as many independents and conservatives see it as well. That's Obama. McCain, like you, sees the current situation in Iraq as analogous to Vietnam. A dangerous comparison. Obama is not restricted by that ideological vision. McCain is. The safer vote, in my opinion.

Re: This Utah Texan’s Voting for Obama

homosuperior — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 10:24:22 -0000

I can only add two fairly amorphous reasons for voting for Obama: temperament and judgment, and how important those two qualities are for a President, particularly now. In my mind, demonstration of these two qualities has trumped whatever misgivings I might have had about his "experience," an equally amorphous quality, as well.

Temperament: The man is unflappable, cool, calm, not a hot-head, reasonable, listens wells, not apt to make quick decisions, willing to change his mind and explain why. Um, McCain?

Judgment: Obama's early opposition to the Iraq War is only the most obvious example. Turns out that he also foresaw the subprime meltdown and tried to do something about it over a year ago. Wouldn't be nice to have a President in the White House who knows his stuff and can apply it to the real world? As well as being able to surround himself with good people who can fill in the gaps for him? And is that man McCain?

The way Obama's campaign has been run, not just against McCain, but also in the primaries, gives you some indication of what an Obama presidency might look like: Savvy, quick on its feet, focused on long-term goals, organized and delegated, even-keeled, rarely over-reacting, and last but not least, his campaign may well be the classiest I've ever seen. Compare that to how both Clinton and McCain ran theirs. How many times caught flat-footed, like a deer in the headlights? Neither candidate has known quite how to deal with the freshman Senator from Illinois. McCain's desperation now shows a campaign and an ideology in its death-throws.
