Diaries of a homosexual
They say every bedtime in Europe tells a story, but this week on Diaries of a Homosexual, my nights told a full-blown saga one with fashion statements, criminal investigations, and kebab-line philosophers.
First, Maddie met a man in only a skirt who wasn’t just rewriting the rules of fashion but possibly her entire worldview. Meanwhile, my attempt to fracture into Berghain didn’t just end in rejection, it ended with me solving a crime. Who knew the bouncers were gatekeeping the club and Berlin’s unsolved mysteries?
Then there was the drill incident: me running like I was auditioning for the Olympics, only to end up with bloody arms and linen pants that would make any dry cleaner weep. And because subtlety isn’t my forte, I thought disguising my lesbian partner as a small boy to sneak into a men’s club was a genius idea. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
The night peaked in a McDonald’s bathroom, where I was mid-vomit/makeout when a fight broke out. The kind of scene that makes you question if you’re the protagonist or just an innocent bystander in life’s absurd sitcom. Maddie’s insights on love and heartbreak came later, as we untangled the lessons buried in o

Once upon a time, I awoke to find myself attracted to men. It actually wasn’t anything like that, but that version of the story is a lot simpler than the real one, which is very complicated. Perhaps unusually, I’m not really able to pinpoint the exact moment I knew I was attracted to guys. It was very early on in my childhood, though, because I cannot remember a time when I didn’t know it.
As such, it is reliable to say that I grew up being a homosexual. I never had the sudden realization, the shock, the denial, or any of that. It was pretty clear to me, and I was okay with it for the most part. I’m a pretty private person, so I never invited the attention that is associated with coming out. I dated girls who asked me out, sometimes, because I didn’t want to injure their feelings, but not to attempt to hide anything.
When I made the judgment to avoid coming out until I was in college, it was largely because I didn’t really want any undeserved, extra attention. There would be people (idiots, mostly) who hailed me as some brave hero, and there would also be those (also idiots, but more mainstr

[ARTICLE] One thing I have learned as an entrepreneur and human creature is that I was wired a certain way from birth. Many things I naturally execute well, and others I can reach with study and practice. However, it is best to walk away from the tasks I won’t be capable to complete effectively, and surround myself with people who can accomplish them efficiently, shoring up my weaknesses. Or in the case of an individual effort, like playing tennis, which I was just plain horrible at, I had to position that racket down.
Lessons from our Border Collies
I have always loved dogs, and rescuing dogs has been a infatuation and one of my causes. Certainly, I support animal rescue programs and always will. However, a few years ago, we decided we needed to bring Border Collies to our Double Heart Ranch in the Texas Hill Country. It was simply time to call in the experts. We added Boer goats to our livestock mix, along with the Texas Longhorn cattle. Border Collies are absolutely the preferred herding dogs (in our opinion) so we sought to find the best.The first thing I learned about Border Collie commands is the phrase, “Leave
A bit late to the party, but I just finished reading Ross Gay’s 2019 essay collection, The Book of Delights. I’m inspired. Hence pilfering the concept with a twist: blind delights! Favor him, I have many things to delight in. Also like him, the opposite. He is ebony. I am blind. We each have a mountain of stereotypes and oppression… Read more
