Video I Love: Powderpuff Cheerleaders Dance

An adorable performance at a halftime show for a student vs. staff basketball game. This took some time and commitment to put together. Congrats to the students who worked so hard on it!

Video & Lyrics I Love: Say When (NSFW)

One of the best Justin/Brian (from Queer as Folk) videos I’ve seen. Not safe for work viewing but oh so inspiring to watch.

I absolutely love the message of this video, but it’s also cool how they did it all in one long shot.

Another song for the Take Me Home playlist

Came across another oldie that works great for Kyle and Evan (at least most of the lyrics do).

Sometimes When We Touch by Dan Hill

Also added it to the Behind the Stories page on my site.

Video I Love: The Edge of Glory

Sloan Parker — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 13:30:49 +0000

Sorry I disappeared from the blog for a bit. Last week was a long, long week with a sick cat, computer virus, and internet issues. But I’m back online and wanted to share this lovely video.

Quote from YouTube: “This video is for everybody. Who has ever loved. And has been loved in return. To those that think it never does or will get better. It does. It does get better, it becomes beautiful.”

Behind the Story: Another song for Kyle & Evan

Sloan Parker — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 20:36:15 +0000

I found another song for TAKE ME HOME. “Chasing Cars” from Snow Patrol. I can hear these lyrics coming from both Kyle and Evan with some definite overlap on which lines work for which man. I won’t say more than that for now. The video below is just the song with lyrics.

I’m nearing the end on this manuscript. These men feel so real to me now, it’s like they aren’t my creations, but real men I’ve had the privilege of following on this journey.

I shared these a while back, but I’ll include them again. My inspiration for Kyle and Evan.

From the 2011 Tony Awards. “Now I know why you’re all six-packy.” Adorable!
