But You Were A Baby Too..
January 28th, 2012 § 1 Comment
Aren’t babies and little children adorable? I’m always amazed at how adults refer to little children as if they’ve never been a child themselves. They marvel at how kids are able to do certain things at a certain age, the things that they say, and many times they say “I can’t believe how smart he or she is.” I always wondered why do people react in this way since we could not be adults without being babies and children first. I have asked people the question and the response is ”Oh I know” or “I don’t remember being a child.”
Then there’s the thought of wanting to have a child of our own when one sees a baby or a little child. You look at them and they are so adorable and some are so sweet and loving that you want to take them home with you. After all isn’t the need for procreation embedded in our DNA? The question is do we all need to have children? or even are we all supposed to have children? The answer is obviously no. When think of my own life and everything I’ve been through since the day I was born I feel that in some way I am still that baby that child who was never attended to, never loved, or taken care of and now that I am an adult it is my responsibility to take good care and look after myself instead of bringing a child into the world and not be able to given him or her the emotional love and support I never had. Now that I am wiser and older I believe I would be a good parent but instead of thinking of myself I think of the child and his or her future with me or without me. The last thing I wish for myself is to bring a child into this world to fill a void in my life or to somehow change my world because it will never happen, the only true change that can take place is within me and only I can so that. Nonetheless I love children and I am amazed at the process of creation every single day of my life. And to everyone who has children, God bless you, make sure you take good care of them and give them a good life otherwise why bring them here in the first place.

Meeting Stephen Fry In Tribeca
January 26th, 2012 § 2 Comments
Monday night I went to Barnes And Noble in Tribeca for the first time to meet Stephen Fry and get a copy of his new book The Fry Chronicles signed. The turn out was huge and Stephen ended speaking for 30 minutes instead of the planned 15 minutes. There were as many British as American fans at the event which was great to see. The overall experience was more than I expected. Stephen is truly charming and friendly. He is truly interested in his fans and clearly shows it in his interactions with everyone he meets. I am looking forward to reading the book. As I waited to meet Stephen I looked at all the photographs of Stephen, his family, Emma Thompson, and others which is a real treat.

I think the fact that I’m so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn’t be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman – I’ll kiss a frog if you like. – Stephen Fry
The Kind Of Man A Woman Marries
January 21st, 2012 § 7 Comments
Men spend most of their time with people whose values they share; therefore men tend to be judged by others based on the company they keep. The kind of man a woman marries surrounds himself with people of integrity who are not only doing positive things with their lives, but also who are committed to living a good life. Giving and receiving in equal balance are key to feeling loved and fulfilled in a relationship. Good relationships are meant to be balanced where two people are equally and mutually invested mentally, physically, and spiritually in a partnership based on trust and respect.
The kind of man a woman marries knows that in order to have a truly loving and honest relationship with the woman he loves he needs to be honest about who he is and how he’s feeling, even when he’s not feeling good about himself. The kind of man a woman marries doesn’t shut the woman he loves out of his heart and mind. He knows that if he’s going to stay in a close and loving relationship with the woman in his life he can’t hide away; he must be willing to show his feelings and allow the woman in his life to be with him during difficult times instead of isolating himself. The kind of man a woman marries is her best friend, lover, and partner in life.

Weigh criticism and listen to advice but always decide for yourself what is best for you to do. As long as you are trying to do better you are succeeding. Never let those who hesitate and lack brains and courage to hold you back. If you have courage in your heart a bright future will welcome you with open arms. If you believe in yourself and you work on carrying out that belief you will never lack the strength and power to succeed in life. We were all born to be great. There is nothing to stop us from achieving greatness if we put forward the effort and go about it in the right way. What is the force that drives man to fulfill his destiny? Personal power! Know it and own it and all you ever desired that is good for you will be yours!
