Holy Week, Good Friday and Easter

I am really trying to change my life and let you see the change, other than hear it. I finished observing for lent, and decided to give up what I gave up for lent. Katrina and I went to see the dying of the river and the St. Patricks Day parade. The day was great. Now it is time to celebrate how life became abundant to us sinners. I love easter, and I love the fact Im going to see my 1 Christmas & Easter services. It snowed all day on Friday and my sister in Kenosha got a foot of snow, so she couldnt ride the train down to visit me to day. Im going to the 9am Easter service and cant wait. I have massage appt at 2pm and then dinner with Katrina at a free buffet. YEA

"Ross", Not a Tranny?,Spring where r U?...

I cant get over how time changes your life. I had 5 great years in Texas, but where did it go, it really flew by, that is for sure. I have been in Chicago already almost 6 months this April 3. I remember back when I was a little kid coming to the "Big City that never sleeps son-CHICAGO-THE WINDY CITY" is what my dad always said. My heart still skips a beat thinking about that, cause I'm doing it, my dream has come true.
I have this picture I got from my Chicago & Omaha best friend Geoffrey C. Believe & Succeed- Courage Does Not Always Roar. SOMETIMES, It IS The Quiet Voice At The End Of The Day Saying, "I Will Try Again Tomorrow." I have been really focusing on that these last couple of weeks, hard weeks.

Let me tell you about my area. One place I go to is Hamburger Marys. A cute little diner with all kind of peeps you can imagine. The favorite server by far is this transsexual and she is so funny, there 2 different tables of lesbians, 3 tables of gay guys, a family with 2 dads and there 2 boys and one straight family and younger couple. Your probably asking yourself why I told you all that, I love this city, it is so laid back, caring, compassionate, accepting, keep to themselves. But on the other hand, the city is still conservative, judgemental, rude, and private. The best decision I have made so far.

I wanted to wait, but 2 weeks ago, I met Ross from FRIENDS, yes David Schimmer was in front of me at a Starbucks on Rush street. He rocks, then that afternoon, I met Jerry Springer, way chill kind of guy. On Monday the next week I met Stedman Graham the boy friend of OPRAH WINFREY!!!
I have met my new roommate and we are moving into our new place this September a lil bit closer to the Loop/Downtown Chicago. We are living in a great gay community that is 3X3 mile radius of the 2nd largest gay community in the nation. We just want to be closer to all the action and that is downtown Chi-town.
One thing that really disturbed me was the other day this lady was getting out of the bus and started calling our bus driver a racist f*%$ing asshole. The middl eastern driver was dumbfounded. You could tell he had no clue what happened, but I had to eventually kick her out of the bus. She had a few screws loose upstairs. My parents always brought me up to build someone up higher than when you met them. So I was walking off the bus, and " I told him not to worry about that lady, she was mental bro, your an awesome person, and have a great day."
I am trying to really do a good deed for people at least on time a week. Enjoy the beginning of spring!!
