Haven't posted in a while

I haven't written anything in a while. I've been pretty busy. Hopefully I'll write some stuff up soon.

The regional bi conference has finally launched. Nov 15-17 at Princeton. I'm psyched. I'm officially co-chair now.

I spent a weekend at Omega Institute. They're a holistic healing retreat place. Learned Yoga, meditation, and other stuff. Arlo Guthry was there teaching a class on Spirituality and Music, and gave a free performance. It *rocked*

I've started dating P. She's someone I went to college with and recently reconnected. This is her first poly relationship.

Work is good, but my boss is grumpy lately. Gotta find out what's up with that.

I've been asked to write a proposal for a new structure for a local political group. I wrote my first draft tonight. It's really hippy and flippy and sounds like I've become a spiritual, poet guy or something. I'm pretty proud of it. I wonder how the committee will react!

My bio

I had to write an bio about my activism. I have to do this now and then. It's really refreshing to see all the good stuff I've done put in one place.

Here's what I came up with, minus identifying data. With all the []'s its sort of silly.

[ME] is an organizer in the bisexual community. A past-president of [the state's LGBT coalition], he is most known for being a founder of [bi organization], [state]'s largest bisexual organization. [ME] was Outreach Co-Chair of [the state's LGBT coalition]'s [name of legislation] Task Force which amended [state]'s anti-discrimination laws to include sexual orientation. He has chaired 3 regional bisexual conferences, helped many new organizations get off the ground, and was involved in the 1993 March On Washington and Stonewall 25 celebrations. [ME] received the [company's queer employee group] "Award for Community Service" and received the [the state's LGBT coalition] [name of award] Award. [ME]'s visionary writings have earned him the title "the architect of the modern bisexual movement". [ME] freely shares his knowledge with others and can often be found teaching workshops on facilitating support groups, running conferences, and creating web sites. He is heavily involved in the polyamory movement, both as an organizer and educator. Outside of activism, he works in the computer security field, and is the co-author of a groundbreaking book on managing large networks of computers which spent a week in the Amazon.com top 100.

Yeah, that's a lot better.

Zero Church

Here's the lyrics to that song I was talking about a couple weeks ago:


People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It never was between you and them anyway.

I drew like Michelangelo.
It took me years to learn to draw
like a kid."
