The Commitment - Part II

Thanksgiving with his family

One of the things I most admire on Randy is the fact he is very opened and honest about things. Besides that, he does treat me unbelievably well as if I was in a gold wrap. Well he would definitely buy gold wraps for me if it was appropriate and fashionably right. Not that we are both so concerned about fashion statements, after all bears think of comfort first.
When Randy found out I didn’t have plans for T-day, he secretly changed his plans in order to accommodate me traveling with him to Colorado – Greeley – to meet his family. I have been very excited and looking forward to that. I think someone’s family and the way they interact can tell a lot about a person. It is all part of who Randy is.
It will also be interesting to go to a small town where most of people are conservative and probably homophobic. Is Colorado a blue state?
More on Greeley’s Thanksgiving to come.

The Commitment

This past weekend Randy and I had a talk and decided that we should “step up” for a commitment. I think I had been ready for that ever since we met - immature me. HE wanted to get to know me better. After two moths getting to know each other, Randy decided it was time to do it, and for sure he showed me he’s “got game”. I feel like something has changed. Even though we have always connected in every way, it seems like things are more intense, sex became even hotter. The feeling is there and I am so secure and at ease that I don’t feel like I need to know where he is or what he is doing. It seems like I will always be there with him.
It is definitely a feeling I have not felt so far. Right now we make plans and promises for a long-term relationship. I am not sure how long it will last despite my desire tells me it is forever. One thing I have on me, and it was probably passed on to me by my parents. It needs to be truthful and joyful as long as it lasts.

A note from California

I just received a message from my friend Adulla with the following text attached. I am not sure who was the original author but I think he really deserves my admiration for such a fun well written and smart document. I would love that every single "red person" read that. Oh! and "blue person" too.
Kudos to this text and to its author!

California's Letter of Secession


Dear President Bush:

Congratulations on your victory over all us non-evangelicals.
Actually, we're a bit ticked off here in California, so we're leaving you.
California will now be its own country. And we're taking all the
Blue States with us. In case you are not aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon,Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, all of the
North East States, and the urban half of Ohio.

We spoke to God, and she agrees that this split will be beneficial
to almost everybody, and especially to us in the new country of
California. In fact, God is so excited about it, she's going to shift the
whole country at 4:30 PM EST this Friday. Therefore, please let everyone
know they need to be back in their states by then. God is going to give
us the Pacific Ocean and Hollywood. In addition, we're getting San
Diego. (Sorry, that's just how it goes.) But God is letting you have the
KKK and country music (except the Dixie Chicks).

Just so we're clear, the country of California will be pro-choice,
pro-gay marriage, and antiwar. Speaking of war, we're going to
need all Blue States citizens back from Iraq. If you need people to fight
in Falujah, just ask your evangelical voters. They have tons of kids
they're willing to send to their deaths for absolutely no purpose.
And they don't care if you don't show pictures of their kids' caskets
coming home.

So, you get Texas and all the former slave states, and we get the
Governator and stem cell research. (We would love you to take Britney Spears off our hands, though. She IS from the south, right?)

Since we get New York, you'll have to come up with your own late
night TV shows because we get MTV, Letterman, the Daily Show, and Conan O'Brien. You get... well, why don't you ask your people at Fox
News to come up with something entertaining? (Maybe you should just watch
Crossfire. That's a really funny show.)

We wish you all the best in the next four years and we hope,
really hope, you find those missing weapons of mass destruction.
Seriously. Soon.

Sincerely,
California
