My proposed study is about this. Here is why this problem is important. here is what we know about this problem. These studies leave THIS IMPORTANT THING that needs to be found out.

David Wojnarowicz poster.

In 1983 this boy was born into the middle of a deadly epidemic. It would be decades before he understands the severity of his situation and the ghosts haunting his unclaimed and abandoned histories of sexual liberation. Had he been born decades earlier like his sister, his lifeless diseased body would be just one among hundreds of thousands of other boys just like him rotting in the ground. But he lived, only to inherit a world steeped in fear and hatred of his tiny little body and the desires he would pursue before long. Feared and hated because he will soon learn what it is like to find pleasure in the naked bodies of other boys. He will be faced with the all consuming anxiety of safer sex paranoia and the panic that ensues when waking up with the most mild of fevers and chills. But he will carry on despite the daunting “I hope you die of AIDS faggot” taunting because the dangerous pleasures he will intimately know are both sustaining and addictive. “Every time we fuck, we win”, he will someday whisper in his two lovers’ ears, reassuring himself as much as them that every day they stay alive is a revolutionary act; their desperate pleasures becoming the most insurrectionary moments of defiance imaginable in a world that would just as soon leave them for dead…

Boston Obliteration Bombing

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 13:06:50 -0400

I’m discussing obliteration bombing, the Nuremberg trials and the definition of law and its intersection with morals in my Jurisprudence class on Monday. I created a map of Boston based on John C. Ford’s application of U.S. obliteration bombing criteria employed during the Tokyo of 1945 to Boston in The Morality of Obliteration Bombing. Ford theorized what parts of Boston would be targeted in an obliteration bombing campaign.

Obliteration bombing was designed to target workers and their support systems.

Hartford 2, Jason 0

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 10:30:46 -0400

Hartford is proving a challenge. I have been searching for a place to live in the Hartford area four days a week (spending the balance in Boston). It seems impossible to find a decent place that isn’t dangerous and that is convenient to the medical center. I am so far also underwhelmed by the “bustling and modern West Hartford area”.

I’ve been searching West Hartford, West End of Hartford, New Britain, Farmington, Plainville, and downtown Hartford. Actively considering Northampton.

NYTimes: Are you a supporter of gay marriage?
Vidal: I know nothing about it. I don't follow that.
NYTimes: Why doesn't it interest you?
Vidal: The same reason heterosexual marriage doesn't seem to interest me.

Him: My personality is more like a Richter painting.
Me: I see that. I'm probably more a Rothko.
Him: De Kooning.
Me: What?
Him: You are a De Kooning painting. Definitely not a Rothko.
Me: No. I am definitely not a De Kooning.
Him: That you see yourself as a Rothko and are really a De Kooning is why you are amazed by people's reactions to you.
Me: Oh. You're right.

If Jack Lemmon films represented my psychic state. Last night my anxiety hit a highpoint best captured by China Syndrome. I don’t know what part of my psyche Jane Fonda represents, but she is concerned.
