The Bucket List

Carter Chambers: [to Edward, of the two questions asked of the dead by the gods at the entrance to heaven] Have you found joy in your life? Has your life brought joy to others?

Carter Chambers: You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you.

Edward Cole: We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.

Now Is Good

Our life is a series of moments. Let them all go. Moments. All gathering towards this one.

Moments. This is one. This right here, right now, is definitely a moment.

Into The Wild

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods; / There is a rapture on the lonely shore; / There is society, where none intrudes, / By the deep sea, and music in its roar; / I love not man the less, but Nature more... / - Lord Byron

I will miss you too, but you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships. God's place is all around us, it is in everything and in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at things. Society, man! You know, society! Cause, you know what I don't understand? I don't understand why people, why every fucking person is so bad to each other so fucking often. It doesn't make sense to me. Judgment. Control. All that, the whole spectrum. Well, it just...

Happiness only real when shared.

When you want something in life, you just gotta reach out and grab it.

Mr. Franz I think careers are a 20th century invention and I don't want one.

When you forgive, you love. And when you love, God's light shines upon you.

The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences.

If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed.

Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.

I'm going to paraphrase Thoreau here... rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth.

I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong... but to feel strong.
Strong. You can do anything. You can go anywhere. Money, power is an illusion. It's up here. You can be here. Me and you.

If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, the possibility of life is destroyed.

There was clearly felt the presence of a force not bound to be kind to man. It was a place of heathenism and superstitious rites, to be inhabited by men nearer of kin to the rocks and to the wild animals than we.

I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them. And work which one hopes may be of some use. Then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor. Such is my idea of happiness. And then, on top of all that, you for a mate, and children perhaps. What more can the heart of a man desire?

For a moment she rediscovered the purpose of her life. She was here on earth to grasp the meaning of its wild enchantment, and to call each thing by its right name. By its right name.

My Dating Profile - Straight from the pages from memories...

We never know why we like someone more than others.

Why we love someone without any reason.

Why we feel happy about meeting and spending time with him.

But most important is to have that someone in life.

I belive that one day I would find that someone, my soulmate, who will always be with me. That's why I am here...

I am a decent mature romantic north Indian guy. I am looking for the one, with whom I can go for a committed, live-in-relationship which can last for whole life.

I am comfortable with my sexuality and believe that being Gay is not just M2M sex. SEX is necessary but its not just physical contact, it’s the sacred way of (re) union of two people with a strong sense of mutual caring, intimacy, and appreciation.

I am looking for a decent, MATURE, normal guy-next-door, who is willing and serious about life long commitment. Someone, who understands the importance of commitment and have enough ability to make a decision and stand by it... Someone, who clearly knows what does he want from his partner/relationship and ready to take sincere effort for that.

I am not interested in Bi-sexual and married guys. Please don't contact me if you are looking for hook ups.

Believe in yourself and your feelings…

Happy Endings

Good friends are really hard to find.They gotta be there for you, even when you're wrong. But at the same time, they can't just tell you what you wanna hear. They've also gotta be willing to tell you what you need to hear. Mmm! That's the real reason true love's so hard to find. Because the basis of love is friendship, and friendship is really, really rare.

Boys in the Band, The (1970)

Harold: You're a sad and pathetic man. You're a homosexual and you don't want to be, but there's nothing you can do to change it. Not all the prayers to your god, not all the analysis you can buy in all the years you've go left to live. You may one day be able to know a heterosexual life if you want it desperately enough. If you pursue it with the fervor with which you annihilate. But you'll always be homosexual as well. Always Michael. Always. Until the day you die.

Bride Wars

Sometimes in life there really are

bonds formed that can never be broken:

Sometimes,you really can

find that one person

who will stand by you

no matter what

Maybe you'll find it in a spouse

and celebrate it with your dream wedding:

But there's also the chance

that the one person

you can count on for a lifetime-

the one person who knows you

sometimes better

than you know yourself-

is the same person who's been

standing beside you all along:

Queer As Folk - QAF

Ted: God grant me the serenity, to accept the things I cannot change... the courage to change the things I can... and the wisdom to know the difference."

Brian Kinney: I don't believe in love; I believe in fucking. It's honest, it's efficient. You get in and out with the maximum of pleasure and minimum of bullshit. Love is something straight people tell themselves they're in so they can get laid, and then they end up hurting each other because it was all based on lies to begin with.

Tracy: Whether you're gay or you're straight, I thought we were friends.
Michael: We are.
Tracy: Well, friends trust each other. What did you think would happen if you told me? That I'd tell everyone at the store? I wouldn't have, Mike. Don't you know that?
Michael: I should've. But when you spend your entire life keeping it a secret, who you really are, you learn to stop trusting people and it becomes second nature.

Brian Kinney: If you don't earn respect when you're alive, you don't deserve it when you're dead.

Ted: Every year I always wish for the same thing - a boyfriend. Someone to love who'll love me. This year I think I'm gonna wish for something else. The wisdom and maturity to realize that I won't find what I want by looking for it. Not expect someone else to give me what I never gave myself. That I'm not a half waiting to be made a whole. And even if that special person never comes along... I'll be just fine.

[giving his speech at the Committee for Human Rights]
Michael: It's an honour to stand here today, considering a few weeks ago the doctors weren't sure I was going to make it. But I was one of the lucky ones. I'm here. And as terrifying as it was, I'd be there again to defeat a bill that would deny rights to Americans just because they're gay. I have a loving partner, two wonderful kids, a home, a small business. The truth is, I'm just like you.
[puts away prepared speech and speaks from the heart]
Michael: Actually, that's not the truth. Sure, in a lot of ways, I am just like you. I wanna be happy, I want some security, a little extra money in my pocket, but in many ways, my life is nothing like yours. Why should it be? Do we all have to have the same lives to have the same rights? I thought that diversity was what this country was all about. In the gay community, we have drag queens, leather daddies, trannies, and couples with children - every color of the rainbow. My mother's standing way in the back with some friends. My friends. She once told me that people are like snowflakes; every one special and unique... and in the morning you have to shovel 'em off the driveway. But being different is what makes us all the same. It's what makes us family.

[at the candlelight vigil for those injured or killed in the explosion at Babylon]
Drew Boyd: I was asked to say a few words tonight. I asked "why?" They said, "Because you're a hero." A hero... Because I played football? Because after a lifetime of denial I was finally honest about who I am? I don't call that heroic. What *is* heroic is standing up for the rights you deserve, no matter what the consequences. And that's exactly what those who were injured... and who lost their lives last night were doing. Or trying to before they were stopped. But they were up against a powerful opponent - hatred. Hatred spread by those that want to deny others what's rightfully theirs. In the name of *their* God, *their* family, *their* country. I guess they forgot that America belongs to everyone.

Melanie: I used to hate it when Brian would say, "There are two kinds of straight people in this world - the ones who hate you to your face, and the ones who hate you behind your back," because I knew that wasn't true, there are plenty of straight people who don't hate us. But the ones who do no longer have to do it behind our backs, they can do it in the White House, in the churches, on television, in the streets! Is that the kinda place we wanna live? Is that the kinda place we wanna raise our kids?

Debbie: A word of advice, my sweet Emmett - mourn the losses because they are many. But celebrate the victories because they are few.

Brian: We're queer. We don't need marriage. We don't need the sanction of dickless politicians and pederast priests. We fuck who we want to, when we want to. That is our God-given right.
Michael: But it is also our God-given right to have everything that straight people have. Because we're every bit as much human as they are.

a dAY tO rEMEMBER...

Hummm,..

It was not like that he was the most intelligent guy I have ever meet.

It was not like that he was the most "well spoken" guy I have ever meet.

It was not like that he was the most handsome guy I have ever meet.

He was ordinary boy-next-door but still there was something about him which made me to spend more and more time with him. I don't know exactly but there was something about him which was unique, which put me on ease wit him.He was different.

We meet for this first time in a garden. Don't start making any wild guesses. We didn't meet on DATE. It was just a casual friendly meeting. We walked in the garden and he was holding my hand. I must say that holding hand immediately made me to get attached with him. Human touch always do miracles. ;) We had a long discussion about (No Guesses!!!) Gay Relationship/ Marriages/ Coming-out-to-parents etc. It was quite interesting to discuss these with him. We took a lot of pictures and he looked good in his all pictures.He has photogenic looks. I liked him and wanted to spend some more time with him.

I meet him again on Valentine Day. Well, it was a shame that I was with such a nice guy but I was not in love with him. We were not couple so instead of spending romantic time together, we spent day talking, talking and more talking. Tea was hot so was our discussion. We both were not agreeing with each-other on most of the topic. However, he has this amazing ability to convince so at last I was convinced that my "Coming-Out-to-Parents" may be a good decision but not the best one. I became very emotional and my heart choked with pain. I lay-down in bed, resting my head in his lap. He tried to comfort me but it didn't work. I knew that only one thing can comfort me. I needed a tight hug and soothing words - "Everything will be OK Manish". I missed "D" that moment. He could have done that without even asking. He knows me so very well.

I was afraid to ask my new friend to hug me. I didn't want him to get wrong idea that I was trying to seduce him for sex. I can get many extremely gorgeous guys for sex easily but I can't get such a great guy as a friend, who became so close in just two meetings.

It was time to bid him farewell. Time was Mid-Night and I was emotionally shattered. I went and then came back. I strongly needed someone with me. He tried to cheer me up. It worked a bit but still I had to put myself together. We went to bed. I stretched my hands and tried to hold him. That touch was helping me. The feeling of someone laying next to me was making me comfortable, still I was miles away from sleep. I spent the whole night counting every second and thinking worst things.

Early morning, he opened his beautiful eyes, looked at me and told - "Good Morning". He was looking gorgeous. That time, I knew why people say that a guy looks his best in the morning. ;)

He insisted me to stay a bit longer. I wanted that bit to be as long as a Day or a Month or a year but I had to go.

Before going, I needed to do one last thing. We took out last pic - Together...

Love and Other Disasters

v That's just it. I don't know that Paolo's the love of my life, but I've decided to give him the chance to be. Maybe true love is a decision. You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody. To give to somebody. Without worrying wether they'll give anything back. Or if they're gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn't something that happens to you. Maybe it's something you have to choose.

v The stages of a relationship can be defined by farting. Stage one is the conspiracy of silence. This is a fantasy period where both parties pretend that they have no bodily waste. This illusion is very quickly shattered by that first shy, "Ooh, did you fart," followed by the sheepish admission of truth. This heralds a period of deeper intimacy. A period I like to call the "Fart Honeymoon", where both parties find each other's gas just the cutest thing in the world. But, of course, no honeymoon can last forever. And so we reach the critical fork in the fart. Either the fart loses its power to amuse and embarrass thereby signifying true love, or else it begins to annoy and disgust, thereby symbolizing all that is blocked and rancid in the formerly beloved. Do you see what I'm getting at?

v Secret of life… Darling... have you ever been to a picnic... and someone blows up a balloon?... And everyone starts tossing it around... and it’s always just about to touch the ground… But someone always gets there just in time... to tap it back up… That balloon... that’s God… The very best in all of us.

v Hate AIDS, not life… How?... Just think of AIDS like... the guest that won’t leave… The one we all hate… But you have to remember... What?... It’s still our party.

v I am sick of straight people. Tell the truth, aren't you? There's just too goddamn many of them. I was in a bank the other day; they were everywhere - writing checks, making deposits. Two of them were applying for a mortgage. It's disgusting! They're taking over. No one wants to talk about it, but it's true.

Broken Hearts Club, The - A Romantic Comedy

v I can't decide if my friends are the best or worst thing to happen to me. Clearly, without them,my life would be a lot less fun... but with them... I don't know if I'll ever be able to have a life of my own.

v Everyone can't be straight. Everyone can't be beautiful. Everyone can't be the same, Patrick. Some people are just gay and average. We're the strongest I think.

v A lot of people ask me when I first knew I was gay. Fact is, I don't know. But what I do remember, what I can recall, is when I first realized it was Okay: It was when I met these guys. My friends.
