This blog entry is dedicated to my Partner of nearly 17 years. Yes, 17 years.

Yes, it’s stereotypically gay to pick a Madonna song, but in no other song do the lyrics reign so true in my mind. Each time I hear it, I think of all he and I have been through. How he’s always been there. How he understands me and encourages me to see through the “social diseases” (aka Bullshit), grown from it and be a better person.

Love you, Ross.

I’ve had so many lives
since I was a child.
And I realize
how many times I’ve died.

I’m not that kind of guy.
Sometimes I feel shy.
I think I can fly
closer to the sky.

No ones telling you how to live your life
but it’s a setup until you’re fed up.
It’s no good when you’re misunderstood
but why should I care
what the world thinks of me?
Won’t let a stranger
give me a social disease.

Nobody knows me…
Like you know me.
