Meant to be Debbie Harry

I don't know if you guys heard about this incident. But just to be clear, it happened in St Maarten, not St. Martin. That is the touristy Dutch side of the island, not the cool French side that some of my friends were raised on. Just to be clear.

I watched the GLAAD Awards on LOGO this weekend, my favorite cable channel. Do you know why I love it? They show French movies about drag queens and really old episodes of The Real World. Remember when The Real World had to have like a gay person, a black person, an okie from the backwoods, etc. and they all had to try to get along and deal with their differences and try not to throw things at each other? Now everyone on that show is 12 going on 30 and they wear way too much make up and always manage to find a reason to run around the house naked after jumping in the hot tub with each other. Anyway, Kate Moennig attended the awards in New York but they DID NOT TELEVISE her presenting an award. Sigh.

The highlight from the awards was when one of the kids that was on my favorite show from last season, TransGeneration, proposed to his girlfriend on TV. It was so cute. I cried a little. I loved that show because I am amazed that someone could KNOW that they were born the wrong sex. They are so sure of it, so sure that they are willing to change their bodies, cut something off or take pills so something else changes shape -- they are willing to do this to become the person they think they should be. I'm pretty sure I was really meant to be Debbie Harry. But I'm not sure there is anything I can do about that.

GLAAD also honored Charlize Theron, who, I'm sorry, is the PRETTIEST PERSON EVER. She's just so pretty.

Dollar drafts at Third and Long tonight guys. Who's coming? I was off today (I did fuck all, I swear) and tomorrow (when I will probably do pretty much the ame thing.) So I don't have to wake up early or anything. Everyone should come out and play with me, that's what I think.
