I should be doing my Arabic homework but instead am writing my first entry into the new / resumed / updated blog. It’s not long, just a quick post to let anyone who may stop by know that the video Ivan and I made last year is now on YouTube.
To make this happen, I had to perform and record the song myself. I entered, arranged and “performed” the song in Sibelius, my friend Jim recorded me singing it, then he did the mixing and sound editing needed to create the soundtrack. I’m not complete happy with my performance – every time I went to record it I would get a cold or cough my brains out while trying to sing with a rough, gravelly voice – but it is time to move on.
This is yesterday’s news, except that it isn’t. The federal trial challenging the constitutionality for Proposition 8 is happening right now here in San Francisco.

Welcome back! Appropriate that you posted your video. Good to see this active again.
Aloha Rob and welcome back. Thanks for posting the video too. This week there’s to be a vote for civil unions in Hawaii. The governor, a closet lesbian, wants the vote delayed because there are more important things facing Hawaii (than civil rights). I’m angry that the love I have for my partner is seen as a threat and a union that some people do not want recognized. We’re making signs tomorrow and going to a rally to show support. Let’s hope something good happens. On a positive note I’m glad you’re writing again.
You’re hot and it’s good that you got up off your arse to do something about the travesty that is proposition 8, but holy god you’re a brutal singer. Nice to see you back blogging and good luck with it.
Wow! That’s the first I’ve seen your video. It’s good.
