 On Satuday the 12th of May, I attended the Equal Love Marriage Equality Rally in Brisbane. As usual, I dressed up for the occasion, with the purpose to make a point about same-sex marriage. This time I chose to go as a non-gendered wedding cake. Why? Because I believe love has no gender! Needless to say it was a hit. Over the last few days I’ve been tagged in God knows how many photos. LoL. Not to mention the news coverage lol

Once again I must thank Jen Spiers and Lucille Korponay from the fabulous bod painting duo The Pillowbook Girls, the costumed looked pretty damn amazing. I was one of a few people who gave speeches to rally attendees. During my speech I touched on the fact that love has no gender, the urgency to properly educate the public on the LGBT community, and that marriage equality at the core of things, is about everyone being treated equal under governmental law.

This Thursday I’ve also been asked to speak at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) at Kelvin Grove for the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO).  I won’t deny I feel a little nervous. It’s an odd thought, I never really thought of my self as being an activist. It’s only been in the last couple of years that I’ve found myself  getting involved with Equal Love, and I’ll be straight up front, it’s brought some of my proudest moments.

I think the thing for me is, I honestly don’t believe I’m fighting for gay rights, but I believe I’m fighting for the simple humans rights that everyone should have. People should be treated equal no matter what their gender, sexuality or race is.

EQUALITY FOR ALL!!!

So today I moved into my new place and I have to say I quite like it. It may just be two streets over from where I was living, and the walls maybe a little too pinkish for my liking, but it’s my new home nonetheless and a strong feeling of contentment [...]]]>

So today I moved into my new place and I have to say I quite like it. It may just be two streets over from where I was living, and the walls maybe a little too pinkish for my liking, but it’s my new home nonetheless and a strong feeling of contentment is definitely flowing through my body.

I’ve been wanting a bit of a change for quite sometime, and I guess I just came to a point of deciding to change that “want” to a “have”. Here’s the thing, change never comes without you actually taking some proactive action. It’s all very well to talk about your want of changing things, but what’s the point if you don’t do something about it?

I have a list of a few things that I want to change in my life, and moving into a new place was just one of them. There’s something satisfying with crossing one off the list. Now to tackle the rest.

THINK CHANGE, MAKE CHANGE, ENJOY CHANGE!

I always knew the purple Tellytubby looked familiar!

There are certain nights out, familiar faces from long ago resurface. Not so familiar but chance encounters that may have originally thought to be brief last a night out.

There are certain nights out, familiar faces from long ago resurface. Not so familiar but chance encounters that may have originally thought to be brief last a night out.

The lights flash and music thumps, and the two dance oblivious to the world around them. Glowing eyes, a mysterious look, hidden meaning or simply the enjoyment of one’s company.

Questions of an ever constant unknown that one can only wonder.

One thing I’ve really been coming to understand lately is the self-realization of improvement.

Over the Xmas and New Years break I spent nearly two weeks in the Northern QLD area getting back to the basics. When the only light you get is from candles at night, you really come to understand what’s important in life.

One thing I’ve really been coming to understand lately is the self-realization of improvement.

Over the Xmas and New Years break I spent nearly two weeks in the Northern QLD area getting back to the basics. When the only light you get is from candles at night, you really come to understand what’s important in life.

Take away all the creature comforts we’ve grown accustomed to, it really puts things in perspective and what you should really put value on in life.

Since being back in Brisbane I’ve really taken a good look at life and what I want out of it. I’ve started back up at the gym and even though my body is aching like no tomorrow, the results in the long run will pay off.

Also I’ve come to know the importance of friends more the ever. These are the people that share your life journey with you and it’s because of this that you should treat them like a prized plant. Remember to constantly nurture and spend time with these people, as a true friendship is a constantly growing relationship.

I’ve dove back into my creative side more so then ever. There’s a point where you have to stop saying “I’m gonna” and start saying “I’m doing!”

Life is what you create, drama is only as big as you let it play out, and you’re only as strong as you’re willing to push yourself.

Just some random thoughts for a Friday afternoon.

A twist of change. A bitter but delicious taste on the tip of my tongue. A piercing, a new look. Dreams and hopes become an understanding. Life flowing in a new direction.

A twist of change. A bitter but delicious taste on the tip of my tongue. A piercing, a new look. Dreams and hopes become an understanding. Life flowing in a new direction. He gently glances up with that all too familiar look, present but unattainable.

A friend embarks on a journey into an unknown world of new adventures. Blocks falling into place, foundations laid. A screenplay of words begin to breathe life into reality. Stars litter the sky as reminder of the abundance life has to offer one who is will to take a risk and reach out for it.

Life is merely an individual’s ability to create. Drama is only as big as one let’s it play out. The big 30 is inevitably around the corner, prospects, choices, hopes and dreams. Fantasy blends into reality as a twist of change fills my mouth with its bittersweet taste.

Fairy Tales, Hopes, And Dreams…

My lips press against another as Time Square glows with life. The unknown prince. Riding a great white stallion, he rescues me from the slumber spell of life… A modern day fairy tale, a happy ever after ending one could only wish for.

A story of hope, love, accomplishment and achievement. I flick through the pages of a published novel pause for a moment. With a sense of accomplishment I place it on the book shelf to rest knowing a hope and dream has manifested into reality.

I stand breathing the fresh sea air as the sands of Thailand flood between my toes. Stars pierce the night sky above as they glance down like a thousand watching pairs of eyes. A long fiery tear shoots across the blackness of space.

The clock ticks onwards as the hour glass sand flows. Glitter, flash lights, disco balls spinning as the unknown prince holds my hand dancing. At that moment the world does not exist, just two bodies, souls intertwined, swaying hypnotically together on a dance floor.

Speech, the applause and cameras flash, roughly scribbled autographs on napkins.

The rocking chair creaks on the old wooden porch as life long friends watch the world go by. Reflections. Hopes gained, dreams reached, love grasped, a journey shared.

Reality… 3:51 am. Traffic goes by as I sit on my balcony smoking a cigarette.

Fairy tales, hopes and dreams…

The wind gently blows, change is on the horizon. Nearing the inevitable thirty landmark. Decisions, choices to be made. Another twist down the path in the pursuit of happiness.

The wind gently blows, change is on the horizon. Nearing the inevitable thirty landmark. Decisions, choices to be made. Another twist down the path in the pursuit of happiness.

The need to move forward. Memories of the past, the unknown future lies ahead. The road is long with its twists and turns. Street lights flicker with their signals to “stop” and “go.”

The analytic times of hopes and dreams. What ones to put aside and what ones to hold onto firmly?

More then anything what is that I want the most. Life a never-ending flood of consuming questions. Flashing lights, disco balls, the glamour, the long winding road ahead.

Change is on the horizon and I scream for it!

The rain gently falls, I hear the soft splashes as it hits the ground below. Traffic can be heard racing down wet roads in the distance. The world of nature and man-made urbania become one.

With a flick of my lighter and a long drag, the tobacco burns and I exhale slowly with long wisps of smoke [...]]]>

The rain gently falls, I hear the soft splashes as it hits the ground below. Traffic can be heard racing down wet roads in the distance. The world of nature and man-made urbania become one.

With a flick of my lighter and a long drag, the tobacco burns and I exhale slowly with long wisps of smoke rising above my head. Peacefulness and relaxation dance together.

Different thoughts plague my mind. I think of friendships, the many changes and challenges each one face. I think of ginger chin, words unspoken, questions unanswered. Friendship or is there more? The future as usual remains unknown, but one thing I know, I still look forward to seeing that smile and glowing eyes.

My thoughts move on to another, a friend, a brother. Amongst music, highs and brain fries, what happened? Is it paranoia or more to the story then what has been said. One can only wait with anticipation as the storm settles and the clouds disappear.

Christmas is nearing, a time of family for some when for others it is time loneliness. Gratitude floods over me at the thought of the family that has been created around me. Rather then based off blood it is based of souls connecting and experiences shared.

Sometimes I stand in a club surrounded by many, while my heart feels inhabited, there are still vacant spaces left. Who they belong to is anyone’s guess. Someone special, another for a connection shared, while one will be reused yet again.

One might paint the walls and refurbish it, but the memories will last for a lifetime. No matter how many times that door slams shut, it always finds itself reopening.

Dreams change while some cement itself, hope stands strong while some hopes simply fade.

My heart beats. My soul continues to grow and change form like the vicious of flames.

I enjoy the way that you burn.
