Pfft.

Posted by Daddy Rhon on August 27th, 2006

Every time you come around my london london bridge want to go down. (???!) Apparently I am old and therefore do not have my finger on the pulse of… what-the-fuck-ever those ignunt lyrics are supposed to mean.

Please pass the gravy, bitches! I just spent an hour in the middle of JoAnn Fabrics burning up an electric turkey trimmer on a ginormous chunk of upholstery foam. Shoppers were trying to shout over the wrrrrrrrr as huge chunks of neon green foam went flying out in all directions. I believe someone earned an Electrified Bird Carving PhD on this day. I tried to Butch-up with this steady, inconspicuous look on my face that I am sure read: “Heyull yes, fool! I do this stunt all the time, not just holidays”.

All this for the new built-in bench in my kitchen.

O’. How I suffer for my art.

I have decided from now on when a man steps in front of me in line, speaks over me or otherwise assumes I am invisible, I am just going to take a step back and say, “Oh! I did not realize you are male. Please, sir. You first.” Trial run this morning at brunch, and then again later at the Homo Depot. A+ on your lesson, dicklick. Five gold stars. Check plus PLUS! Course, one was a shaky, skinny little dewd and the other apparently did not realize he had a penis. But still.

I’m proud to be unfuckable, fellas, but ya’ll best recognize!

Don’t make Mr. PotatoHead snap on the angry eyes.

YouTube Phenomenon

Posted by Daddy Rhon on August 25th, 2006

YouTube has really quickly turned into an interesting community. Among the tons of videos from young people acting stupid, there are some regular clever gems that I am kinda addicted to — like LittleLoca or Renetto who are celebrities. Contrast? Over the last two weeks, an 80 year old English widower named Peter started uploading a series of 10 videos to tell the story of his life. WWII, marriage, a disabled child, his love of motorcycles. The morning after Peter’s first video, he woke to find over 4000 emails. The YouTubers fell in love with the droning old man, and he has become totally famous within a week. Slightly AMAZING that a man who was born when cars were “new-fangled” could embrace technology near the end of his life, sharing his life story with hundreds of thousands of people. He is not a rock star or anything, just simple and sincere, kinda boring really. In his farewall video on Tuesday, his webcam films an empty chair. Crazy how these small miracles move at Internet speed, ain’t it? The old guy will be forgotten within a month. But still.

Misery & Magic in Big D

Posted by Daddy Rhon on August 21st, 2006

MISERY

  • The weather in Dallas is perfect most of the year… hopeful spring blooming so sweetly…. twisted oaks with a touch of fall color… mild winter dusted once or twice with just enough flakes to delight the eyes. The summer heat, of course, is legendary. This last blinding crunch of temps 100+ for weeks on end is just fucking unbearable. You can’t think. You can’t move. Chris and I always feel like our life must be in slo-mo while we wish for September.
  • Again. Some fawkin night-time-ninja busted out THE OTHER WINDOW of my truck last night. I haven’t yet settled with the insurance on the previous vandalism! I wish my theft alarm was also equipped with one of those surprise cartoon springs with a big fat fist that would fly out and jack their punkass jaw but good. It would please me very much to see a damn fool knocked unconscious with x’s for eyes and birds flying in chirpy circles above his/her head. Now that would make an ol daddy slap a knee and chuckle!
  • Rotorooter SERIOUSLY busted some pipes under my house and hundreds and hundreds of gallons of water dumped under there for two months before it was discovered and it is STILL wet under our crooked ass Love Shack. I am hoping someone behind a biggo desk will put pen to paper and scribble me a modest settlement. Hate lawyers and I ain’t got no patience to be sitting up in here playing FUCK FUCK with these bass-turds!

Out of my hands and floating between the possibility of MISERY and MIRACLE. As I skipped gaily down my haunted hallway to wash a frying pan in the bathtub, I realized the new kitchen cabinets should be here… like this week sometime? When plastic cups are but one option, what a blessed, blessed day that will be! Or maybe a dark, dark day. I am trying SO HARD to jingle all the way, but I might lose my shit if parts are missing or ignunt installers harsh over my mellow. But best to hope for miracles, yeah?

MIRACLES!!!

  • Me and my baby still love each other. That amazes me every day. Good lawd. Precious gift, certainly not our doing.
  • Not a miracle, but Little Miss Sunshine was the best indie film I have seen in a long time. Wicked wicked wicked funny, a fucked up family with some soul.
  • Somehow… I do have some budz to call on. Huh. Who knew! You ring. Someone answers. Apparently I was unawares about this whole phone ring ring thing.
  • Of course, now I have misplaced my phone. Turned over furniture and ripped up the floorboards. (???) Listing this tidbit as affirmation for a miracle. Come to me.
  • Charlotte is such a tiny joy. She came from Heaven! (Really, a sweet girl named Heaven gave her to me.) The puppy stepped up to tomboy Alpha in no time, growling and runnin’ thangs. Just to keep on top of this whole magesterial game, right now Charlotte is shredding a beanie baby. Flat tore it up is all! Glad my search for a new baby was thwarted because I am sure this little angel was meant to be mine.
  • Swimmin’ at midnight, Sundee brunch, faded and frayed fat guy Levis nearly free on Ebay, Suzi’s damned dimples, silliness with friends, the blue sky of youth, Johnny Cash.
  • An FTM waiter reached out to me and shared the sketch book in his apron pocket. I invited him to B-F.com but he already knew about it. Yeah! Community. Rawk. I wonder if many FTMs realize so many of us landed on their side?
  • Time magazine says it looks like Hillary is setting a solid foundation for 2008. Balls OUT, boodagga. I’m gonna put a sign in my yard and a flag on my porch.

Femme2006

Posted by Daddy Rhon on August 14th, 2006

frontlogo1.jpgThe Femme Conference is over. I am still in San Francisco. This is always how it is when these events are over. The windows are drawn in the war room and we are all emotionally exhausted. Party cleaned up and trash dumped and bills being cleared. People I love so dearly have been coming by all morning, toting their suitcases and leaving us with long goodbye hugs. But I am not tired. The Femme Conference was like a gotdam revival meeting! One of those amazing happenings where the timing and the meaning were so profound, I will never be the same.

Preparations for FemCon

Posted by Daddy Rhon on August 9th, 2006

I bet hundreds of Femmes across the nation have their bags all packed for the conference this weekend. I bet I don’t even know where my socks are. Terrible. I know. But I will be wearing black. It’s not that hard.

Connecting with my peoples. I bet folks are going who I don’t even know will be there. Then we can do that “HEYYYY!!!” thing. I am all about the love. Cuz I live in a Butch-Femme bubble and I like it that way.

Remember I was taking that writing class? There were three sections to the program all taught by different authors. The cherry on the program is in November. DAMMIT! It would be a luxury and a gift to myself and I really wanted to go. When the last class ended I got all sidetracked with life and deserted my manuscript. I got notes and side notes and scribbles and a few scenes typed, but nothing I could have seriously ready. Hmmmm…(!) Ah. No. Bones. Not enough meat.

I can take the class trip later … and I hope I do make time. So cool! Check it out.

That reminds me… when I get back from San Francisco, I am reclaiming my studio. It was a shed that I decked out into my Daddy dawg house. I made the studio so comfy that it instantly became a guest room. LOL All my favorite things are in there — my learn how to play blooze DVD, my harmonica and shitty lil Fender, all my skulls and scary weird stuff, art books, paintings. I am so looking forward to it.

Smack My Ass, Hackers

Posted by Daddy Rhon on August 4th, 2006

Good lord! As I was about to post just now, I noticed there were *40* LJ replies to my announcement about the hackers on B-F yesterday. My journal hasn’t gotten that many negative comments since I posted a picture of my big ass!!! haha

I love it that peeps are addicted to B-F. No one appreciates my ass, but that’s ok. :)

ANYWAYS

Just wanted to say the dysfunctional genderfuct family is reunited. Joining hands. Singing as one.

Slapping, flaming, and insinuating begins tonight by the light of the midnight moon!

amity thread on B-F

Pfft. Hackers, my ass! Hope that is behind us. Geez. I don’t know why we were a target.

Islamic Group Hacks Butch-Femme.com

Posted by Daddy Rhon on August 3rd, 2006

Earlier tonight Butch-Femme.com was hacked by an islamic group called Mor0Ccan ISlam DefenDers Team who wanted to spread a message to free Lebanon. Looks like there is a cyber war across the internet today. They attacked NASA, Microsoft, Berkeley… and some gender queers in a corner talking about what to wear to the Bash? I have no idea why we made their hit list. Seems to be random, though.

The servers are backed up every night although it might take awhile to restore the data. No worries. Butch-Femme.com and the Matchmaker personals will be up and down for a bit today while we fixeth.

No user data compromised. Any cc or paypal transactions are directed through a secure socket layer. Just putting that out there before people start freaking. LOL No worries on that front. REALLY. And noooo… the fact that our front page was changed won’t give anyone a virus or adware.

Here is a link to some of the story about the cyber war being raged across the internet by this group and others
