A few months ago, I found out that I won't be doing anything on the last weekend of July. So I booked a flight to Barcelona. Pedro, my Portuguese buddy who has been living there for the past few years, was excited when I told him the news.



I read many essays on Barcelona, but nothing beats the real thing. It's my favorite city in western Europe. I made many friends during my last two visits. I enjoyed staring at its historical landmarks. The sight of the Mediterranean Sea was beyond… Continue

You've read it right, I am not just hopeful but hope-FULL. Meaning, I am full of hope in life. Though recession comes every now and then, I am still optimistic that one of these days, the perfect job will come my way. Who knows? That might be later or perhaps tomorrow.

I am a writer for the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado. Last spring, a program officer at the fund was invited to speak to high-schoolers about what it was like growing up gay. The conversation was powerful. It opened the eyes of many of these students. He put a human face on "gay," and helped these kids realize he was no different from them when it comes to being human.

Hi everyone, I am creating this new web site based on widgets and gadgets and web 2.0 technology. Because of the ability to chat with one another and dangers this poses, this web site will not allow those younger then 13 to become members. This is for safety reason.

You can check out the resource page at www.coloradosafeschools.org which any age person my… Continue
