Tiger Wasteland

After spending a wonderful Sunday with my nephew attending the Atlanta Pride parade and festival, I have decided to give a shout out to all my blog friends as a gesture of togetherness.

We met strangers there who made us feel like family. I saw their faces and enjoyed their genuine-ness. And that is how I feel about my faceless blog friends. Even though I have yet to see your faces in person, I know your kindred spirits and you make me glad to be a part of this wonderful new medium. You know who you are:

I met a few of you when I first discoved the political blogs because I was sure that Dubya would not be re-elected. We met at the Kicking Ass DNC blog and I became the official bartender for those weekend cyber drunk fests.

Cheers to:

• Jen at Donkey OD for sending me those magnetic stickers that I (to this day still have on the rear end of my car) take off when it gets a bath and go right back on.
  
• My cyber twin LadyDawnelle. I swear that we were separated at birth and will meet in person sooner rather than later. Mwah!
  
• All the KA blog regulars like Lizzy, Amanda, Colleen, Gregg, PamB, Barbi, Chuck, Jacque, Tree, DeLL, Kathy in IN, Callie, Karen, and everyone else I may forget to mention. We had some good fun and great exchanges of common ideas to counteract the shit we were being handed down by the current administration. Because of you guys I became MORE political than I already were and for that I honestly thank you from the bottom of my GAY heart... Mwah, mwah, mwah and smooches!!!! (Sorry I get really touchy feely when I get emotional)
  

And then those of you who probably stumbled here by accident or found out I post MAN Candy. You know who you are:

• My funky brown DIVA, Stolie. What can I say? Ever since you first posted a comment and I went to check you out, I knew that we were not strangers anymore. I love ya more than my luggage!! Mwah!
  
• Nics, my red headed Irish girlfriend (who had the privalege of meeting the funky brown diva in person) has become my link to all things BBC and beyond. Mwah!
  
• And because of Stolie and Nics, I have met a wonderful Mama who loves her baby boy and a wonderful MissB, who has made me realize the loss that WAS N'awlins, and a cute Canadian Surfer dude in search of a girlfriend. Damn, if he was only gay! I need a boyfriend, by the way.
  

And then there are my Friends of Dorothy:

• Spider, I think you were the first to post my blog as a link and from there it has expanded immensely. After you posted my link I got more traffic than before. Hypoxic kind of overlapped with Jen from Donkey OD and at the time I thought peculiar, but not anymore. I now have a link on Donnie's Fresh 'n Tasty. I love his mug shot Monday's. They make my Monday's a bit more bearable. BrettCajun (rival LSU fan) has left me comments as well. Geaux Tigers! Orange and Blue and NOT purple and gold......tee hee
  
• And due to Brett's trip to SF where he met Tony (my namesake) at Life's Colorful Brushstrokes, he has come over to visit as well. (I think Tony is a stud!!) Hey, Tony, feel free to invite me out west..hint, hint!! I feel like part of a greater community and that is the way it should be.
  

And that brings everything full circle. Like the ends of the rainbow (only cut in half)!!

Whew! I didn't think I would make it to the end of this post. If it was rambling and didn't make sense, I apologize in advance..... tee hee
