10-07-04 Call me shallow, but I think John Edwards is pure sex. Not to be Confused with John Edward, star of crossing over, LOL!, No, I really think that he is a very handsome gentleman. I just love his southern drawl, and those that know me well know that anything 35 and over is my turf. The young guys are always so immature, and I ain't down with that. Along with being the other half of team Democrat for the Presidential election this year (I hope you all requested your ballots via mail), Senator Edwards seems like such a down to earth guy, with his wife and 4 kids (one of whom is sadly diseased) he seems like an all around nice guy. Quote: "I want to be a champion for the people I have fought for all my life -- regular people." I say, you are already my champion. Good luck with the elections this year, lets just hope that the hurricaines have knocked some sense into those pesky ballot-ignant Floridans.

09-20-04 Joe, or shall I say the other Joe, after all I did come first. LOL. You crack me up Joe. I cant believe that you are so unabashed about everything that you say and do. Its so very inspirational. Also I never would have firgured out exactly how to incorporate bitchiness into my own personal matrix if I hadn't seen you in action. Amen sista'. You're a forced not to be reckoned with. I dont know what I was thinking with the previous post. You are much more deserving of a week-long stay in my own little hall of flame, I mean fame! So kick up your heels and relax Joe, you are so worth it. I can't wait until October 1st. We are so outta here. You know, even though its big, I just don't know if Phoenix is big enough for both Joe's. Theres only one way to find out. We'll have to go and paint the town an agreeable semi-muted fusia tone. Happy (insert weekday here) to you, sorry your shoutout is so late, but leave it to a Joe to be fashionably late. Kisses...

09-12-04 Hopefully the worst is over between you and me, Brian. I tell people that I don't like you because you don't like me, but honestly, I'm only annoyed with you because you constantly work against me. Though I feel I must give you consideration because as my ex-boyfriend's best friend, you have an obligation to look out for his welfare. It’s an obligation that you've so presumptuously taken on your own accord, but I never consider it my place to tell people what to do or how to be. But if being how you are is being how it is, then I give you credit for being a faithful friend to someone who I could not be faithful to. For that I thank you. Also I want to congratulate you on your recent coming out to your family. Even after we tell the rest of the world, sometimes the hardest part of our journey as the magical beings we are awaits us at home. You are strong to finally be honest with your family about yourself. That in itself demands mucho respect. There are a lot of people in the world that hate us for nothing more than our choice to be honest with ourselves, but let that not be the emotion passed along here. I may or may not like you, but there is no wavering in the fact that I respect you and support your numerous homosexual endeavors. May there be many and may they all be fantastic! You'll always be my favorite ho.

09-08-04 Panchesco, or may I call you Dick? You are one smokin' hottie. Did I mention that I love hot men? yeah, well you're it! Whoo! And thats on top of being a super nice guy and always having something appropriately witty to say. You have been my friend for over a year now and in that time we have had some very close moments and they mean so much to me. Maybe I should rename this page my bleeding heart page...hmm.. Anyway, you always know how to make me laugh and your tactic for handling this crazy game of life seems like a winning strategy. I hope that your suave never goes away and that you'll always be close by. Heres to you, my sexy friend, my personal photographer, my sometimes secret lust object, my fellow tally, my goodness, you are a sweety!

Jamie and Shamie, All I can say is that you two are so special to me and I dont know how to express it in words, but I feel that our bond goes behyond what words could ever express. I love you both so dearly and I can't believe how good about life that you two make me feel. When I am with you, it feels like I know who I am and that everything is ok. I love being able to laugh with you and even not laugh with you. Its great to feel like part of the family and I can't belive that we have known eachother for almost a decade. While everyone else ages, you two seem untouched by time. Maybe its because you live in a place where it seems, when we are there together, time stands still and the sun will set for hours on the mountains right behind your house! I love you, my sisters, my friends. I wish you all the luck in your professional careers as artists and DJs and know that I'll alwyas be there for you.

I know what you're thinking and I don't mean the girl from Sienfeld, though I think she is funny in her own way. Nor is she the small lesbian who fisted Margaret Cho. No, I'm talkin bout my ghetto fabulous, trash talking, reformed hoodrat, loncheradora friend in the ghetto on 29th. She is the bomb and her attitude prooves it. She could knock yo b'''' a'' down before you can holla 187, she's a sas mouth if I ever saw one. She is my brown sista cant resista, and them beans and rice, sho' didnt miss her. Anywho, today, Elaine, this one is for you.You were, are, and continue to be, fabulous...

08/14/04 Today I would like to give praise to Joe and Paul. I've known Joe (what a great name) since 3rd grade (can you believe it?) and Paul I've known for about 5 years. That alone gives major points to their fabulous bank. But if you were ever to see them you would think that they were Tucsons cutest couple and no one could argue. They have been connected at the hip for over 5 years now and as more time goes by it becomes more and more apparent that they belong together. If they don't make you sick to your stomach they will make you want to find someone special and just hold them. And yes Paul, you have a way better body than that Paul imposter that we saw last night. And thank you Joe for doing me the kind favor of pushing Alex into the spot light, but warning me first. you're both such friends, and whats more, you're fabulous, together and individually.

08/11/04 Ha! Brian. I told you that you would recieve an honorary shout out from the Queen himself. Here Ye here ye, by decree of the queen on this eleventh day of August of the year two-thousand and four, Brian H******** shall receive a royal shout out and be dubbed, princess Briana of the gay hills of Tucsony. It is due to your consistant jovial spirit and your gentle nature that you have been presented with this great honor. You are a jack of all trades and you get better each day. Lets not forget those killer eyebrows. Let it be known that today, you... are Fabulous.

08/10/04 Shawna, You have so much energy, you must have a hidden source somewhere. It spews forth like a fountain for all to enjoy, wether they like it or not. I can't belive how much you make me laugh sometimes and yes its true we've only been friends since April, but it feels like a lot longer. This is just one of those things that is going to be lifelong. You're an awesome chich and a powerhouse. You dont' let anything stop you, not even TEP. If the lights go out, so do you, ...straight to the dance floor! Here is my salute to you, my favorite hag, my brainwave twin, my kareoke co-conspirator, my ego booster, my button pusher, and best of all, my friend. You, are fabulous!!!

08-05-04 Yeah, you read right, today there is no daily shout out. I am thinking this may become a once-a-week sort of posting, especially when school starts back up. Its not that I'm taking a whole lotta classes, but all the college hotties will be back in town and thats a whole lot of hot boi (spelled gayly) watchin'. I may have so many daily encounters with the fabulous that I will be overwhelmed and have to pick my favorites out of the week, or i just might be pre-occupied "encountering" the fabulous that I only get to the computer once a week. Anyway, right now, seeing as I am stuck on the far end of the earth with little time to think I will offer a fabulous thought that may remind you of someone or something special to you. Did you ever come upon those little flowers in the grass that look like white afros? When I was a young gummlet, I would see them in the school yard sometimes and I would pick them up and make a wish only if with 1 single breathe I could get all the little fro puffs to blow off the stem. There was always something so serene about doing that even if the wish was something silly or not a wish at all. It was definately a point of clarity, How often do we get those in our daily lives. and when is the last time that you had yours? Why don't you have one right now, on me. Imagine blowing the little albino-puff in the middle of a green field on a cool sunny day. what would you wish for?

08/03/04 After skipping an entire weekend I have had lots of time and opportunity to consider who gets my little golden star for the day. Today its Jerry Ann. I don't know your last name, but thats ok, cause I've promised not to use them here anyway. I think you are a terrific person. You are always willing to try something new and are never afraid to take another step away from your base. Last I talked to you you had the great idea of attending a different sort of spiritual service everyday this week and then going to the Vaudville Cabarette for drinks on friday. I am so enamored with your theology on life. Live hard, work hard, live hard, cause you never know at what point it will stop. Like all my friends, I feel like I could learn so much from you and I am super glad that we met. It's friends like you that help people like me push ourselves over lifes little thresholds. Mad props to you for knowing what you want from life and going to find it every day that you wake. You are fabulous in my eyes and I don't think that anything could keep you down!

7/31/04 I really thought that I would go for a stretch for this one so Today Im giving it up to the Lincolnshire Uk born Jennifer Saunders. Jennifer, you made me laugh my ass off as Edwina Monsoon In ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. I can't tell you how much of my daily speech patterns I attribute to your character even still to this day! and you continue to do things like voice-overs for the Fairy God Mother in Shrek 2, where you did a great renidition of the song Hero. You've been everywhere including the cover of the Advocate with costar Joanna Lumley. And throughout all your fame and fortune, you've remained, well, Fabulous. You define what it means to be fabulous. Im sure there is a building or structure in England named after you to honor your comic stylings, but today, I humbly bow my melon in your direction and dub thee, queen of the Fabulous...

7/30/04 I really need to broaden my scopes but some of the people who have the most profound affect in my life are not the untouchable famous people that I admire (hah!) but the people close to me that have flaws and weaknesses that I can see and relate to, and still be so great as to inspire me to be a better person. They are the people that I interact with regularly that show me that there is purpose to life and meaning in even the most subtle details. Now that I've stalled long enough I should introduce my shout out of the day winner for July 30th. Nathan! You are one of my most favoritest people in the world. I believe we rediscovered something otherworldy when we first met in this lifetime. Its been a whirlwind adventure since the day that I met you and I wouldn't have it any other way. I will never understand why the comsic bias always seems to be in my favor and not yours, but you seem so capable of battling your way to any victory, you are much more worthy than I. I will always be your secret fan and your clumsy friend. I shared this with you the other night, but I'd like to say it to the other 6.45 people that visit this page. On this earth I believe there are people that are put here to make change. I used to think that there was no way that 1 person could ever make a difference, but you have never ceased to show me otherwise. I think that you are definately going to make some great changes happen in your time hear on earth, but the choice is with you. Im confident you'll do whats appropriate. Reguardless, I will always love you.

07/28/04 - 07/29/04 - today in Joe's mind, the person who deserves snaps is Jamie, my tall, dark and limber new friend. I won't use last names on the web, because 1) Im lazy, and 2) I ain't your daddy, if you haven't been given a surname by now, then don't cry to me about it, I have one and I'm not sharing! ANYWHO! Jamie, I lent you my suitcases, and you lent me your time. I think we could be great friends. In the little time that I've known you you seem so free spirited, something that I look for in all my friends, but don't always find. Some things that might stiffle other people are mere cow pies in your road. Rather than stand there in shock, spending hours trying to figure out what that silly cow might have ate in order to create a mess in the road like that, you simply take it for what it is and go on your merry way! Totally awesome. I always love learning from people and today (actually Tuesday) you reminded me that sometimes those cow-pies in our lives shouldn't be hyper-focused on or ignored, but simply take for what they are. And if it stil bothers you, its nothing that a quick detour to CasaVideo can't fix. Damn, I really wish I could have stuck around, you have no idea how long watching The Brotherhood has been on my to-do list! Anyway, you rock, lets get together soon and have a good time!

7/27/04 -Todays shout out goes to my good friend Seleana. I've known you since 7th grade when we both had a major crush on the other Joe. You've always been so lively and happy, well except that whole goth phase in highschool. But even though we didnt really talk then, I doubt that all the fishnets and black hair-dye in the world cold conseal that spirit that I admire so much! Everytime we meet up again you have a whole new spin on things and it makes me smile to realize that all the challenges in this world couldn't stop your increadible wit and energy when taking a new perspective on things or conjuring up a new plan of attack. When you see something you want you make your way to it. So what if it takes a while, I am confident that you will accomplish more great things one day in the near future, I see a determination in your eye that I love and I'll always support you. I'll always stand back in amazement that I'm friends with you. You've been there for me through what feels like lifetimes (the raves, the significant others, the obsessions, the ho-file) I can only hope I make you feel just as special as you do me. Mucho amor a ti!

SInce today is technically already over, Im giving this one to my cat Diva, since she has no concept of time and wouldnt care if she got this spot yesterday or tomorrow just as long as she got her morning can of ocean fish and tuna flavored cat food. Way to train your owner into the caregiver you want him to be. I wish I were you sometimes, I could definately do with the amount af sleep you get. Here's looking at you, cat!

07/25/04- For todays shout out, Im giving this one to my Homegirl Laurie. Last night was so much fun. We talked, we mingled, we danced around puking, and yet you remain wonderful. Your an angel with no disguise. You've been through a lot yet you are still probably the sweetest person I thing I've ever come across. Cheers to my fellow painter, my emotional backing, and most of all, my friend. It makes me smile to think that there are still people like you in this world. Thank you for being here.

7/23/04 -Well I must say that today was a tough one. I thought hard and Today I've decided to give my daily shout out to Linda Ronstadt for not pulling your punches when stating your "modest" political opinions. I admire people who will back their friends up, it shows loyalty. I also like it when people actually say what they believe and say it with pride, it shows brass balls. You rock!! Concerning the film, I agree with you that people need to wake their lazy @$$es up and pay attention to whats happening around them before the rug gets swept out from under them.
