RANT: God’s Asked Me to Whale On Yo Ass, MoFo!

There’s a lot of attention being paid to polygamy and bigamy at the present, thanks to the arrest of that uberFucker, Warren Steed Jeffs. I know there are a lot of polyamorists in my audience, so I’m going avoid starting a war of words just because I disagree with the lifestyle.
(Disagreement does not equal judgment, [...]

Lightning Crashes… Or Something

There is a world of difference between saying what needs to be said and saying what you want to say. Words get taken the wrong way and intentions are often lost in the mix.
Hi, I’m Steff. I’m a compulsive foot-in-mouthist, and thinking before speaking is a lifelong fantasy I’ve yet to make true.
And you know [...]

Two Things: Sex Drive, and Say What?

One, this whole barely-getting-comments thing is a drag, people. It’s like writing for an empty room, and it’s sucking the joy out of things. I’m surprised my hits didn’t take more of a hit during the whole depression thing, but I’m glad those of you who’ve stuck through it have stuck. But can we say [...]

You asked? Some thoughts on "cuckolding"

(I had forgotten to add the hyperlink to one of my favourite rants below. It’s been added now.)
I was asked a while back what my take on cuckolding is.
I didn’t ask what the reader’s interpretation of the word is, but there’s a historical definition of it meaning that the male in a relationship is faithful [...]

My Night & The Dubious Nature of Anonymity

I’m home early, but I don’t care. I actually planned to walk out of BarCamp registration the moment after I signed up, but then I honed in on Cute Men, and like any fan of the aesthetic, I like scenery. No, I’m not looking for a relationship, but dammit, I will (and do) look. Or, [...]

Having Sex When Positive for HIV or AIDS…

…What do you people think?
We have a controversy brewing in Vancouver ‘cos the coppers have released the information about a hooker who’s having unprotected sex when she’s AIDS-positive. Some activist types are all raising a fuss that she’s not been “tried and convicted,” so the press is having a field day with it.
Not too long [...]

Of Trappings and Traps

So, I was watching Oprah for the first time in a long while, which is nice, and the Big O had Dave Chappelle on. I suspect it’s a re-run, so I’m probably behind the times, but ask me if I care.
For those who’ve been on a desert island, Chappelle baffled the world at large when, [...]

Can I Get an "Amen"?

We Now Return You To Your Regular Programming

Hey, people.
I’m proud to announce that I think the worst is over. I know, without a doubt, that I bottomed out last week. Given the events that occured, I should have been somewhat upset, but given who I am, I shouldn’t have been anywhere near the ballpark I was in, let alone the same fucking [...]

Gettin’ a Groove On

Over the next week or so, I’ll be putting the spit’n’polish on a new template for a new blog that will be the companion blog for my podcast. It is very likely that I will slowly, slowly begin moving my efforts to that blog as opposed to this one.
Let’s talk about that for a minute, [...]

Of Groundhogs and Loathing

I just finished watching the last 30 minutes of Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, and, well, this is a weird one, but I think it’s one of my favourite romantic comedies.
Right now, I long for a little kissing and lighthearted fun. That’d be nice. Not to be had, but it’d be nice.
Something about Groundhog Day [...]

Willing the Way to Happiness

I woke up in a shit mood again. That’s hard, when you roll out of bed and it might as well be night ‘cos you’re feeling so dark, you know? BUT.
I sat on my couch, feeling like a loser, looking at the filthy table, seeing my flaked-off toenail polish, and just felt myself sinking further [...]

Single?

Look no further.
Oh, no you don’t, beyotch. I saw him first. You can have THIS GUY.

I’m bored. I need topics.Feed me.You knows what to do.

A Strange Piece About Rockstar, Writing, and Small Children

It’s Rockstar night again. Elimination. Starts in a few. I pick Patrice. I think Storm gets a shakeup.
I cannot tell you how much I weirdly relate to this show. I don’t know why. I just want to be in that situation where I get chosen, you know? But this is one of those rare reality [...]

The Middle-Earth Blues

I’m at that point of my depression that I’m realizing I have become the worst version of myself.
Of that, I am absolutely certain.
I’m self-involved. I’m angry. I’m negative. I’m not being thoughtful of others. And the thing that really, really hurts is, I know it, and no matter how much I know it or fight [...]

Mojo Missin’

You know what it is, don’t you? I’ve lost my mojo.
Life has just had too many surprises these past six months and I feel I’ve grown years. My birthday’s next month and for the first time, I’m really having one of those pre-mid-life crises. Like, the reality that everybody I work for is younger [...]

Myspace is gay!

This is nasty and mean but it’s funny.
According to this, what you can surmise about me for having a photo of just my eyes up here:
Beware: Quite possibly a ninja.
All I can say is: Ichiban.
And this is a perfect time to mention this great ad from a friend of mine’s excellent adult social network.
Actually, you’ll [...]

Great Moments in Movies: The Rocky Kiss

I’m feeling a little like an underdog today, like the odds are stacked against me, so I thought I’d have some quality time to myself this morning before I head into the world for the sixth day of work this week. I’m feeling like I’m losing my leisure a bit, and Virginia Wolf states that [...]

Webhosting, suggestions?

I’m discovering the dangerous world of acquiring hosting, and would like to have recommendations for good providers of webhosting that can handle potentially objectionable content. Email me about people you’ve had good experiences with. I need the help, and I want to go with someone “safe.” I’m starting up a new site for the podcast, [...]

The Fine Art of Schmoozing

I have the rather freaky-ass opportunity to run with a different crowd now.
The people I’m working for are politically connected. It’s an entirely different world. I once fancied the idea of running for politics. I was probably 16 or 17 at the time and was volunteering for the Liberal party as [...]

And The Hits Keep Coming

This is the kind of posting I would instinctively run carte-blanche on The Ditch, but I thought I’d say hi. Hi!
I’m having a horribly pseudo-Monday Tuesday that just keeps packing punch after punch. Waking up was all wrong. I woke up, And Something Felt Wrong.
But I, a true trouper, forged ahead. Sure, my jeans were [...]
