I am a published queer poet (the "littles"), and am quite happy to have happened upon this site! I honestly believe that most queer folk are grossly misunderstood. Especially those that were there (during the worst of the AIDS crisis). Speak up! Say it loud and proud! Young and old alike. Never forget the wise words of Miss Midler: "Aren't you people tired of being stepped on?" And never forget the ones that cleared the path for all of us still alive today. Be it Whitman, Gertrude and Alice, Auden, Frank O'Hara, Ginsberg, Capote, Warhol, Quentin Crisp, etc. We have a very strong past. Now let us begin to make an even stronger future: Starting with Larry Kramer. Do you have the balls to put reactionary fools like Ann Coulter to shame? I say let us go for it--big time. Yeah, Silence=Death. So let me hear your beautiful queer voices. Starting today. Okay? Poetry or prose. Let's be sure and put the Archie Bunkers of the world to shame. Go for it! Especially now that we are still living in DubyaLand.

If you'd like to read more of my wicked words, feel free to click on Return (below each entry)--and that should take you to my site over at Journalspace. Plus I'll be posting more things here, etc. Dylan Mitchell is my name. And telling the truth about being queer in straight America--is my game. Peace.

Taking a Break

I'll try to keep this short--because I don't want this post to be a total downer. Due to some recent events in my life (moving, injuring my leg during the move, and having my iMac computer crash on me, etc.), I won't be able to blog for awhile. I need to figure out a way to make some money (so I can get a new computer--or at least a decent used one). Also, the pain pills I am taking because of my injured leg--tend to make it difficult for me to write. My concentration is way off, so I've pretty much been reduced to copying and pasting stuff--and I miss all the creative writing I feel I am best at, etc.

Anyway, I'm gonna try and enter some writing contests, so I can possibly win a few bucks--and get another computer. Also, I think my writing will be so much better, once my leg has healed and I no longer need to depend on these pain pills to make it through the day. I'll be able to focus much better. I'd like to thank Aaron and the Q Blogs team for the opportunity to blog here. I've met some really cool people I have become quite fond of, so leaving is a sad thing for me. Also, I'd like to congratulate you on all the recent awesome changes. Q Blogs just keeps getting better and better, and is one of the coolest blogging sites I ever participated in. So I thank you big time for letting me be a part of it all. I hope everyone has an awesome summer. I'll be thinking of each of you. And I hope to return in 4-6 weeks. Keep up the good work!

Dylan

Saddened Heart ..
I am sorry to hear this news, Dyl. After our conversation I thought we'd get to help you monetize your blog for you. (PS. mY phone ran out of juice, sorry.) Take a look at the Q Blogs Team blog. We'll pay for content for our new sites. It's not much, but it should help. Aaron

Ms. Crabby?
Will we hear from her? I had been thinking of making a submission form for her.

no ! no! no!
*throwing childlike tantrum on the ground, kicking and screaming while turning blue in the face...* hey dylan, i am really saddened myself, to hear that you'll be out of commission for the next month or so. i hope you remember that you can contact me whenever you have the opportunity and the stamina. anyway, i hope your leg gets better soon and that you find a way to keep posting.

Aaron, dahling...
Crabby is puzzled by your question. True, I have been getting over a nasty summer cold; but Crabby is as brutally honest and hearty as ever, sweetie. What is this submission form you speak of? I hope it has nothing to do with the New Yorker! I once sent them a submission for my advise column, and they treated poor Crabby like a freak. So please give me some more info, dahling. Crabby is curious.
