Can You Use Expired Chicken Broth

A year 2011 under the sign of our joint exploration of gay culture.

This image, any lightness, who will accompany me to my wishes, 2011.

She is from a book of photographs that I made you discover this year. I extract this other picture. I offers this image of male beauty. Maybe everyone does not find it, but it brings everyone to imagine his own representation of male beauty, picture that accompanies it, I hope, in this year 2011.

Finally this year 2010, which saw the audience of my blog take on an unexpected, I want to thank all my readers. I know they are many. I especially want to thank all the blogs and sites that made reference to my own, often with flattering comments. I see a form of recognition for work I would like more complete. Some of these sites or blogs are foreigners, a sign that beyond the language barrier (my culture is still very French), we share a common culture.

For 2011, I make a vow: you give more messages and you can still more discoveries. Indeed, a professional occupation that is consuming me, other interests very different but also very addictive, do not leave me time to devote as much attention to this blog that I would like. I feel you discover parts of our common culture gay. I feel you enjoy this work. I would now like you do even discovered. There are so many works and books for which I would like to share my excitement and enthusiasm that has fueled the discovery of a new stone in the construction of large homosexual culture and, at the same time, the deepening of my personal reflection on my own homosexuality.

I renew the vow this year to be able to assist you in exploring this rich continent of our common culture Gay .. It is also an activist, so that no one forgets that this situation remains fragile and that we live today that we live through patients to these works, built in time to know us and let us know.

Two memories from 2010, gleaned from my posts of the year.

The handsome youth of "Kiss of Narcissus" Fersen:

The enchanting interpretation of "Sentenced to death" of Jean Genet by Etienne Daho:

Catch Phrases Of Party

Wishes 2011

It is good politics, it's tradition,
the morning of that day, the first of the year again,
When the mist is still in barrels,
Take again , good resolutions.

We dream angel, giving good words
Convinced that our wishes will all be obliged
Promising so many things that can disappointments
Do What happened, eliminating the halo.

And what can we think of these important people
Who we bombard vows
charge of hypocrisy or sincerity is found disguised
In the exemplary image of our president.

No, really, although it is us,
Ancestral, redundant, I think this year
I will let fall, I will remain silent.
At these mea culpa, I will chorus!

Anxiety is palpable as the times ahead,
In continuation of the year two thousand ten,
Who was, far from it, a year of bliss,
May attract our flowers overgrown with brambles.

So how to find in this illusory world, where selfishness
smothers solidarity actions, beliefs
Where are the men, opponents
This simple light called hope?

Yet I long to give you all,
For intimate parents or those strangers who read
by chance, these lines incongruous
The hint of a smile on all your little faces.

Also, for the moment is copying the monks,
who seek peace and serenity, That I
wish you all, success and health
order it is good, this year 2011!

But regarding the good intentions,
As I will not keep them anyway,
Being too old to follow the lessons,
Do not expect me that I change opinions.
Na!

Email (2)
And then, with "eleven", what can we rhyme?
Because even with the football, we're desperate!
Aside "bronze" or "bloke", the choice is narrowed,
So this little "monk" is not so bad found!
No?

Prolapsed Uterus What Feel Like

Thoughts on the preservation of our gay culture

A recent message on the blog "Booksellers associated" is interesting on the interest of French academic and heritage institutions for a certain aspect of gay culture. Indeed, the list of French libraries with the catalog of this library:

ARCHIVES GAY, an anthology of homosexuality in the ancient book (2005)

is reduced to one, when many U.S. libraries own it.

I'll let you see this message:

http://chezleslibrairesassocies.blogspot.com/2010/11/nos-catalogues.html

This is a catalog published in 2005 by "associated Booksellers' offering for sale more than 1200 books. Unless I am mistaken, there is no equivalent and catalogs, in the absence of a bibliography in French homosexual is an irreplaceable source of information. There are many site Ars Jacques: http://www.bouquinerie.net/catalogue/ , but like all websites, it can only be ephemeral.

Read the introduction of Jacques Desse (click image):

course It may be objected that this catalog is first an object merchant. That may be what is most regrettable that this inability to imagine the world of learning and the world of commerce can enrich one another. Yet, if a homosexual culture has been passed through time and continues to live and grow rich (I only speak of writing), it is because there were booksellers who taken risks, who have contributed their knowledge, to live this culture and, on the other hand, collectors that maintain the production of this crop, which sometimes emphasize as I modestly try to do on this blog. If he had been expect that the institutions that provide backup information, I believe that much of our past have disappeared. When you know that a book as a major gay culture, the first work which shows that sexuality in all its rawness: Twenty lithographs for a book I read Roland Caillaux, 1945, is present in no public libraries in France, including the BNF which is the mission, we see that there is still some way to go to get to experience a true heritage of our history. That is why with all these "traders" of knowledge, there is still something that survives.

My message is probably unfair and in some ways, ignoring significant efforts to establish Gay Studies in France, but I remain convinced that more needs to be done to bring the university culture, sometimes a little elitist to another culture, often more personal, collectors, fans (what a horrible word!), booksellers and all those who also work to defend the homosexual culture that is our common heritage.

Note: these comments are those of me is reading the message above that I inspired them.

Verbiage Congratulations For Engagement

Memories are frail
migratory birds that periodically revisit their nests,
Rising from somewhere else, our minds
overwhelming urge one that sometimes makes us afraid.

Some are loaded with sadness, darkness, remembering
In moments of pique,
Missing people, resentment or deceit, we
They undermine and sometimes destructive act.

Others are lighter, and even exciters.
Stealth, such fine elusive hummingbirds
They cheerfully remind us of life pleasures.
Laughter and joy, they become vectors.


Memories are frail
Who migratory birds each time, create our biography,
Until life is no longer our friend,
Yielding precedence to this vile Alzheimer's!

But whether permanent or just portable,
Memories help us to shape our lives
Because memory is the fuel of the mind.
This enables the design values.

So hurry up to enjoy these players
Before everything disappears, our joys, our desires, our sorrows and our
hopes, what defines us, fly in
smoke from an incinerator.


Memories are fragile migratory birds
who protect us on every trip to oblivion,
instilling in the minds of parents, friends, pictures
us they keep in their hearts.

In this month of November where we cover flower
The graves of these people we cherish,
Let us know that someday we will, we also
Single pile of dirt watching a visitor.

So make an effort, try this challenge
To think more often than those who left, To the memory
prolongs their lives, hoping
One day, our image remains!
