OK the non-wise arse version

jawnbcI AM: queer, gay, Canadian, Irish, clever, compassionate and lethargic
I WISH: people committed to social justice stopped fighting amongst themselves: divide and conquer people! Hello?
I HATE: nothing and no one. I don't believe in evil; I do believe in mental illness.
I MISS: hanging out on the 114th St beach with the extended clan, every day, all summer, until I was in a hurry to grow up.
I HEAR: some tradesmen digging.
I WONDER: exactly when being gay became no big deal for me.
I REGRET: the pain and angst of others related to my alcoholism and general fucked-uppedness of my teens and 20s.
I AM NOT: willing to sacrifice principles for expediency. I'd rather be on welfare.
I DANCE: infrequently and passionately. I didn't start to dance until I was nearly 30.
I SING: all the time; yesterday whilst rollerblading on the seawall. Keeps my lane clear...
I CRY: not infrequently, but not often either. Mostly when moved by the human spirit.
I AM NOT ALWAYS: aware how sharp my tone can be. Perhaps because in NY/Egan terms I'm solidly mild-mannered and low-key. I'm not fuckin' kiddin'...
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: Words. And world processing/computers have been my salvation: I have poor fine motor skills and never learned how to write legibly.
I WRITE: up research, short stories, and someday soon a novel. I don't write "for me"; I write to connect to others
I CONFUSE: not much.
I NEED: to be loved, connected, and celebrated. Often through teasing, taunting, and the like.
I SHOULD: lose about 10kg.
I START: each day with a bath. Aside from hygiene I meditate, pray a bit, and check in with the universe. If can't do this more than 2 days in a row, it's obvious because my temperment changes...for the worse.
I FINISH: what I start. This has only been true for the last 10 years or so.
I HAVE: the priviledge of living in a country that largely reflects my values.
