I just came across this while I was venturing around Youtube. Take from it what you will.
Find out what's on my mind and what is going on my life. Or, maybe just drop a note and tell me what you think.

A Thursday in July
There was an article today on the Gay Politics Website today about how governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill that will now teach LGBT history in schools. This is groundbreaking on so many reasons other than just for LGBT rights. We continue to see how the truth in history continues to be omitted from the text books. Knowing that this will be taught, as well as women's rights, civil rights and so on, gives us a more accurate visualization of what our American History is. http://www.gaypolitics.com/2011/07/14/california-governor-signs-lgbt-history-bill/

New York Loves Us
This last Friday it went into full effect that gays and lesbians will be allowed to marry in the state of New York. I unfortunately still live in California but know it will eventually happen. I guess I would have to actually get into a committed relationship for that to even be useful. If you missed any of the coverage, here is a video from MSNBC.
In addition to this video, I want to add my new favorite Brittany video. I guess we'll just call it a gay day here at Took Potter.

First Day of Summer
Yesterday happened to be my favorite day of the year because it is the longest one. I am in Tuscaloosa for Project Kinect and for it, I spent the entire day in the creek helping to remove logs from it and get it cleaned up. Here is a quick video from that moment in my life.
As I was looking through the news this morning, I noticed that there was an article about the dismissal of a coming out video in Saugatuck, MI. Even though the city is extremely LGBT friendly, the school board voted to not let a video directed towards the eight grade class about what all teens, both gay and straight, need to know about coming out. Here is the article on Advocate.com.
When I went to Youtube to find the video and share with you, I was unsuccessful, but I did however find this video from Meet Zoe. She is from Australia and moved to Los Angeles as many of us do to get into show business. I haven't done any research about her yet, but I love this so far.
Being in Tuscaloosa for awhile, I've noticed the practically imaginary line between church and state. I realize that practically the entire country is to this point now, but down here, the two cross lines more than people say "Ya'll".
I decided to do a little research to see what is happening on these lines since the Bush administration put the "faith-based initiative" into play. The purpose of this initiative was to help faith based organizations expand the social services they did in their communities. Here is the article I found explaining President Obama's view on this from ABC News.

So it's May Already
I have been the worst blogger on my own blog that could ever be. I while I am on Project Kinect, I am adding Took Potter into my daily routine. Until then though, here is the latest video from The Dina and Gregg Show.

A Love Story
At the beginning of the book Eat, Pray, Love, the author mentions her friend who was working with refugees and even though they had been through so much turmoil and life changing events, they still managed to go back to the topics of "I met this guy" or "I can't tell if likes me or not". What is that?
I, who happen to be on the threshold of starting the largest project of my life, still managed to fall into this trap. No matter who we are, where we are, and what is happening in our life, the need and want for love still becomes toward the top of the priority list. It amazes me. Here's my story. Well, the most recent one.
About 2 weeks ago, I was at one of Dina's stand up shows and afterward, her and I were talking with the producer of the show, as well as her friend. Needless to say, him and I hit it off and planned to meet up soon. We did, had a great date and continued it with great correspondence that was leading somewhere. That somewhere, very clearly being stated as getting to know each other because I would be traveling for a year. Not a secret, understanding that there was just not a lot of time for much other than some heat and getting to know each other.
Well, it turned into a little more pressure I guess because I got a text that we should not sweat it and just focus on the friendship part. That is great. It truly is but unfortunately I still liked him and of course was hoping it would venture somewhere further. I can't help it because I am a pathetic romantic. The bottom line is that I met a great guy and I get to become his friend. There is not a thing wrong with that. Not to mention I got some great make-out time with him. But, for those of you who still want to hear some jaded girl music, here you go.
When I mentioned that I am leaving in two weeks, I was talking about a project that I started about three months ago. It's called Project Kinect(http://projectkinect.com/). It is going to take me across the country for an entire year. I'm at the moment, in a state of shock and not really quite sure that it is coming together but in all actuality, it really is. I am so shocked. Here are a couple of the videos that I have for it so far. Check out the website and let me know what you think.

Happy New Year
As it is now January fourth, and it has been more than two weeks since I have posted a thing, I think that is about time for me to do so. I began the year without my computer so there is my excuse. Really though, I've never put too much emphasis on how I begin my year but this year is turning out to be something already and I believe that it has something to do with how it began.
Dina and I just launched an online magazine called DiG N 2 It. and the website for is is DiGN2it.com. We were working on it diligently all evening on New Years Eve and then went to get a drink. The first place we went to was full and then found ourselves at this bar called Big Wangs. A big college type bar in the middle of Hollywood. Well, we bellied up to the bar, ordered a round, which turned out to be the cheapest round I've ever paid for in Los Angeles, and played the trivia game. We then celebrated our magazine at midnight, kept on drinking, and then moved to a close by gay bar where we proceeded to meet every person in the bar. It was an amazing New Years Arrival and one of the best I have ever had. Now, four days later, I am still living on top of the world knowing how great 2011 will be.
Happy New Years to Everyone!!!
