Things I will admit to

OK, I will admit I am technologically impaired. But then I always have been. I was not into techno things, even when I was young. So this is not new. I have no patience with it and never have. I hire people to understand those things for me. Since those people are generally my friends, I am in essence sharing the wealth. The honest truth is, I can't even figure out the remote for the TV. How I have figured out how to work a computer I will never know. Since I have been using one almost continuously since 1980, I should at least know how to turn one on and well, I do.

I am an FTM, but I came to the decision several years ago to never undergo the change. So I identify as a lesbian because that is what the world considers me. Because I can fall in love with a woman and I am biologically female, that makes me a lesbian in their eyes. I can't fall "in love" with a male, it's too much like thinking about having sex with your brother. I love men, my best friend is a biological male. Most of my closest friends have been "straight" biological males. I prefer the company of other FTMs too. My S/O is an FTM, which I guess in a way makes us gay males. We warp the minds of everyone, even the G&L community doesn't get it. But I like that, I like warping people's preconceived ideas and beliefs.

I love Alan Jackson. I don't just like his music, I love him as a person. If he is anything like his music, then he is one heck of an incredible being. I adore him because his music is from his heart, which in my opinion is the true indicator of a real artist. I know people will argue with me on this point, but I couldn't care less what they think. Usually those who are willing to argue where art comes from within a being are people who are not true artists anyway. They are pseudo-intellectuals who find arguing with you about any given point a mental work out, but in my opinion it is more mental masturbation on their part. Alan Jackson on the other hand is real, which is why I like him. He figured out how to take his art and make money, this is true. But I say more power to you dude. We all have to eat.
