Hard to believe, but it's true - I've been wearing these Plaid Pants for one year as of today. Yes, they occassionally get a little bit... funky... and... greasy... and, well, stiff, but they've done me well, and I love them like a second skin.
This blog is actually named after a real pair of pants that I bought the same day I started this blog. I was going to be really self-indulgent and post a picture of myself wearing these infamous pants, but, well, no.
Anyway, I enjoy doing this, I hope y'all enjoy browsing my daily maladies, be they mental, physical, spiritual, vegetable. And for looking back's sake, here are five posts I've done in the past year that I'm proud of, and are typical of the haunted chasms of my psyche that I spill out here against my own long-defeated better judgements:
June 9, 2005 : Let Them Eat Steak - I was looking for an early post that wouldn't embarrass me too badly, this one fit the bill. The Pants have had alterations over the past year, it's gotten much less "Dear Diary"-esque, thank heavens, but this was one that still amused me.
November 15, 2005 : Review: Brokeback Mountain - Where would I be without Brokeback? The past year's defining (film) obsession.
March 9, 2006 : A Morning Jolt of Jake - I think I may've, on occassion, found the chance to post gratuitous pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal in here. Just on occassion.
April 11, 2006 : The Best of Buffy - One of the first posts I did that took me real time and work to do. Hopefully I'll do more stuff like this in the future.
April 28, 2006 : Mistress of the Dark - Another post I worked pretty hard on getting right, and a fun way to ingratiate myself with a new blog-friend.
So, basically... I hope I sometimes amuse, educate, enlighten, disgust you. That's all a boy can hope for.

November 15, 2005 : Review: Brokeback Mountain - Where would I be without Brokeback? The past year's defining (film) obsession.
"There are forces in this world that are still trying to twist and pervert that idea, that my love is somehow less than that "between a man and a woman." That it isn't real, that it's some sort of chemical imbalance or because I had a distant father or I hit my head on the ice when I was a kid. Or I'm weak, given to sin, given to vice and evils. This film's entire purpose is to say bullshit to every single one of those claims. It's purpose is to say there was nothing these two men could do, they were desperate themselves to deny this thing, and there just was no denying it. It was as fundamental as the rain and the clouds."

"She makes me understand what it would mean to be a heterosexual man."

Shouldn't you be studying the ins-and-outs of "How to set murderers and rapists free in five easy steps" right now?
I heard about your birthday thing and, I don't know why, I just started doing push ups and pumping iron. Damn, I am sweaty! I guess I'll have to take this lycra cycling outfit off. Where is your office? I think that Peter and I are having lunch over there. He gets worried that Maggie will figure things out, but I told him just to give her a little horse and we could keep our love alive.
I'll be outside in about ten, I'll be the guy drenched in the rain wearing a thin tee shirt.
You love me like I love me,
Jake
Now that was just cruel!
funny
funny funny funny
happy blog birthday!
(Jake, ever thought of coming to Australia?)
