F*ck! Face it! I'm a Fagged-Out, Funambulist, FreakShow!
Fabulously f*cked in the head for far too long.
Fun? For sure! If by chance you get some crazed, cracked-out, masochistic satisfaction from strangely spiritual and surreal stories of schizo-delusional messiah mania. Then maybe I'm you're man!
Many minds of ME: Matt, Matthew, Matthias, Matthieu, Matt(e)o: an evocative enunciation of my sacred person. A "gift from God" transposed as metaphysical motif by friend of the freakshow Fellini, into the most enlightened provocateur of prophetic wisdom: Il Matto (ref. La Strada).
Add in an ounce of out-rageous, clown-faced, fog-city faggotry, And you've found me: A Fagged-Out Funambulist FreakShow!
For clarity: When I'm obeying the better half of my boisterously blubbering brain, be pleased to know one cute, calm, collected,... creative, courageous conversationalist. A capricious kind of kid who favors (and is fulfilled through) freedom, faith, feelings & friendship.
Did the Mormons illegally invest direct funds or lobbying efforts in the fight to pass Proposition 8: the ban of gay marriage in California, which passed on the Nov. 4, 2008 ballot with only a 4% margin of the votes?
As the above video highlights, we have no way of calculating the actual total amount of monetary expenditures of the Mormons on all Yes on 8 efforts unless the IRS intervenes and determines what qualifies as criminal, "substantial" lobbying efforts?
My personal impressions are that the Mormon Church systematically attacked GLBTQ Civil Rights proponents with their arguments of "morality," and by actively & extensively mobilizing its parishioners to contribute millions of dollars and thousands of hours of political action in the fight against the Gay Agenda, stripping me and my brethren of our fundamental civil rights, and getting away with it by describing their mission as a religious cause of Christ.
It's a travesty, what has happened! Perhaps when the gay community re-mobilizes to pose a better fight for their rights, we will see the Mormons react much in the same way; only this next time, they might be challenged by the status quo (or even indeed by the IRS) to disclose their complete expenditures in their anti-gay marriage campaign. Then, we'll see who wins out!!
Enjoy the video! Let me know what you think of it with a comment or a mail message. It infuriates me! It's truly lamentable, what the Mormons have done! That's just my personal opinion, worthy of feature on my myspace page.
How Mrs. Butterfield, experimental queer drag phenomenon, speaks so poignantly of life like mine! Her views are raucous & ridiculous; she's quite a clown of a character, with her spoiled, voluptuous giant red lips, her signature wide-lens, feminine, 1970s sunglasses, and her bright orange, frizz-ball of a hair-do that wraps round in burnt, crispy curls!
Her Tragic Life is My Tragic Life, as we drown together under the droning sedation of a cocktail of psychiatric medications to cure or catalyze our several various neuroses (assumed or diagnosed, all the same!). I love this following video clip! Betty Butterfield is just plain WRONG! She's an alternative, politically incorrect, drag icon! A preposterous perturbed primadonna!
Who I'd like to meet:
It just so happens... that this happy, home-bodied, head-spun homo aches for adventure outside of his squarely sparse and sterile, single-room studio. So much for the serenity of solitary!
I seek sure-fire ways to share in smiles! Feel-good, friendly encounters with compassionate, courageous young people who prefer spontaneity over structure, giggles to groans, wild, raucous, truly treasured adventures over lay-low, stay-at-home, humdrum, twiddle-your-thumb tragedies of time ill-spent and spoiled.
Oh to the brave, emboldened high-wire hopefuls who dare a single step onto my sky-high shaky string: Strength in Numbers! Hold the net for he who fumbles and fear not for this Fagged-out, Funambulist, Freakshow! as he falls a few steps forward.
In faith of friendships, past, present & so surely set to come.
it brightens me inside to have come across you. and yet, it saddens me that it took so long. still, optimism runs rampant in these here parts (within me). i am grateful. how are you darling. we must catch up. =)
