Now this blog is not a coming-out story. It is also not my diary... that I have under lock and key beneath my scrapbook! This is my attempt to write, ponder, explore and hopefully receive feedback about life - and particularly life as a homo. This is also where I will be acting out my severe fetish of using ellipsis (...)... the greatest punctuation in the english language.
Now, a couple things about me (in case I haven't already embarrassed myself). My name is NOT Marcel, although that is what I'll call myself until (or if) I decide to actually make myself known: not sure I want future employers reading this blog just yet. I lived as a Mormon for 25 years; until about the time that I got kicked out of a religious university for homosexual activity. Since then I have been in a number of relationships and have learned a little about myself, relationships, love, etc., etc., etc.
It is this "learning" that has motivated me to start writing. For, the more I learn, the more I realize just how little I know (didn't Socrates say something like that). This is where the title of this blog comes from; what is truth? From the people who believe that gays will literally crush all decent men, women and children who get in its way; to a guy who, like the Beatles sing, just wants somebody to love; to the open relationships; to the search for happiness; to the search for love; to obtaining love and then watching it slip away.
I am on a quest for truth. I am on a quest for happiness. How do we obtain it? How do we hold on to it? What are the principles, morals and values that we need in order to find it. Are they the same for everyone? This is the purpose of my blog. I am asking you to join me; to teach me; to learn from my experiences; and to share your own. Add a comment, or if too private, send me an email.
I look forward to meeting new acquaintances and sharing a part of my life with you. To all you other flaming homos... welcome to my blog!
