I have a hard time with this whole blog thing because I'm such a perfectionist and I don't want any wriiting that I do not to be at least 98% without errors (actually while writing that I mis-typed "eros instead of "errors"...which brings me to my calendar--did you see the photo of me in my white speedos from the back with the words "Eros" on my ass? The photo was taken by photographer and activist Duane Cramer and its sold exclusively with my 12 month calendar. That was pretty smooth, right? Oh yea, my ass too.)
So I'm going to blog because times are tough even with the incredible news that Barack Obama will be our next president--but as much as I love him, he aint Jesus or Moses, or even Buddah-despite possibley inhabiting characterstics from all 3. And because times are tough I think I have to write and so please forgive me for my imperfections here, misspellings, run-on sentences or just plain sentences that don't make sense. Better I write, I think.
If you wanna see a live interview I did about growing up gay and religious for the book CRISIS: 40 Stories of The Personal, Social and Religious Pain of Growing Up Gay and Religious in America click on this link: http://www.crisisbook.org/video-arigold.php.
I also just finished an article called Being Ari Gold, Or Will The Real Ari Gold Stand Up For Gay Marraige. Not sure where it will be published. The internet seems like a good choice at the moment. Things have a way of getting around on here--if you know what I mean! Ok, so I don't really know what I mean but it sounded like a good thing to say.
One thing I am very grateful for during these times is my family and friends. I have truly been blessed in that regard. They make me laugh, they cheer me up, they keep it real and sometimes even take me out to dinner and cook for me. And this Jew feels loved when he's fed.
OK, that's it for now. Oh here's another interview I did in my apartment. Herndon Davis is a cool guy who does some great work. The quality of the taping is not perfect but we're all about Guerilla marketing up in here. http://www.herndondavis.com/aboutdiversitytv-Ari_Gold.html
My video for "Human" will be premiering soon, I promise. Hot Remixes too.
I'm also workin on an exciting new project with LOGO so stay tuned.
And buy more of those CD's and books I got! Mamas gotta eat :) Happy Holidays my people.
Much Love and Peace,
Ari
