answer.... loVe makes me cry

geno

-----

Sad cry -- When friends are sick. Death of friends.

Happy cry -- I'm just an emotional guy. The slightest bit of good news, the right words from the right guy, or just a kind thought can make me cry.

I usual cry at the end of a TV show or movie where a couple that was serperated by fate or misfortune are reunited and fall madley in love. I think I cry out of happiness and hope that that will happen to me some day. Other times I cry when I think about my mother who passed away 7 years ago. It's still hard knowing I can never speak with her again. I still miss her

all right, here goes... "unfullfillable desire" I'll try to explain. We have just this one life to live and the world is so big and so wonderful, it is not possible to do everything that needs and wants to get done. Sometimes that manifests itself in

Other times, it is as complex as a third or fourth career for which there is years of preparation. Finally, it is loving too much! That makes me cry.

movie? My Own Private Idaho I cried for real!

On the Rex Booth show on 03/09/00 he mentioned watching Queer As Folk on video.  Where did he get the video? Has it been released?  I've looked around LA and not found it. Thanks.

Hi, I am patiently awaiting my copy of QAF 2 from them, but here is one way to order it:

If you find the internet site too complicated or confusing, here's an easier way to order a copy of QAF 2 plus the NTSC conversion when it is released on March 13, 2000.

www.blackstar.co.uk

1. Register at site with your name.

2. Place copy of video in basket, but don't finish order.

3. Send e-mail to service@blackstar.co.uk and that you want to convert your ordered tapes it to NTSC

4. Tell them your name, address, and telephone number

That's all there is to it. They will write back and confirm your order, and you will receive the original PAL tape plus an NTSC conversion tape which will play on American TVs, as soon as the video is released in March.

You can also order the Queer As Folk 1 this way, but the cost is higher because it is a 2-tape set. (The total will be 48.79 pounds, or about $70.00). QAF 1 is available NOW. QAF 2 is available on March 13th (about $35.00) Shipping is free (air mail).

Hi Rex:

Although I did not participate in your poll on the subject, I'd like to offer some thoughts regarding public displays of affection, at least here in the Middle West.

First, most of us in the Middle West like it here and we don't care much what California does one way or the other. But we love you Rex-you're a sweetie

Secondly, more seriously, straights rarely offer displays of affection in public here; correspondingly, gays don't either. Why? Bad manners. We believe displays of affection are private. That is what we are. That also means is that straights accept gays MORE here because we are private about it. Perhaps California gays could learn from us since Prop 22 was approved out your way.

Thirdly and most importantly, we don't "advertise" much here. We don't wear Polo or Rex Tee shirts for the label like do. Gauche here. We like "no logo" stuff here. Most of us in the Midwest PREFER TO ADVERTISE OURSELVES AND OUR INDIVUALITY rather than the cover designed by someone else. This means we value relationships more than your part of the world would.

Your poll seems accurate to me. It also tells me that maybe you are not as much in the "national" loop as much as you think. For instance, you seem to like the nude webcam sites a lot. Perhaps that is a REX preference. Ho about interviews with gay websites that represent gays more accurately, that is, those of us who work 9-5, who don't worry about their HIV status like you have to, but we who are still gay and do things like straights? You know, no big agenda, not trying to impress everyone with our bodies, who build relationships over time and grow old and die in our 70's and 80's.

The Middle West may be boring to you. The upside is we here will probably live 3 times longer than you. Think about it.

Time to get off the soap box and earn a living.

Sorry.

Love your show Rex. John

from the sLambook:

c reX I swear one of these days I'll send you an ICQ note that makes sence.

Jez, I just cant say when. Second, and more important, What the hell is wrong the the voters in California. Where do they get off telling anyone what they can do in their private lives. I simply dont understand why that Prop22 was passed. Maybe we should take the same kind of stand that the NRA does and quote the Bill Of Rights or the Constitution. They're screaming about the "Right to Arms", so that every kid in America can have a gun. Well, what about the "Persuit of Happiness"? If my pursuit is a same sex marriage, then that it MY Constitutional Right, and that can't be taken away from me.

What is this world afraid of? A happier, friendlier, more peaceful world? I say to anyone who voted for this stupid proposition, Pray that another proposition doesn't arise that would not recognize your right to vote ignorantly. I read that Prop22 was initiated by Sen Pete Knight, who's own son, David, is gay. Talk about a screwed up family. What a shame.

Ok...I'm jumping off my soapbox.

Thanks for you time. Doh!!/JustMe
