One time as I was getting a hot pocket out of the microwave I felt an intense heat from the piece of food. As I cradled it in my t-shirt I thought about whether or not I&#39;d ever be a father. The hot pocket became my child, who I loved, protected, and would eventually consume for nourishment.<br /><br />Sometimes I wonder whether or not I&#39;d even be a good father. Perhaps this was too personal.Beach Slothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01487203406227378909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13096981.post-90038064093261401252010-02-03T00:19:53.161-05:002010-02-03T00:19:53.161-05:00I think gay stepdad is somewhat paralysed. Like his arm has been caught under a rock whilst mountain climbing and he is searching, at first desperately, and then more calmly, around for some sort of axe or something sharp to cut off his arm with so he can get away.L.

People will admire my portraits, but they will always as me why I only draw cucumbers. They will say I am not making full use of my talents. I will always avoid answering their questions.[http://www.blogger.com/profile/09999324553595928065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13096981.post-30571482824879162042008-08-01T11:06:00.000-04:002008-08-01T11:06:00.000-04:00Ionesco meets David Lynch meets Augusten Burroughs (merely for the gay)<BR/><BR/>You are talented.

It's okay to do that.
