I'm certainly old enough but I can't say I've ever heard of this guy. He was a real cutie, but I too wonder what he tells his kids and wife about himself.

Then when no one is in that aisle, I tear open a box of Corn Flakes or Captain Crunch and don't stop the rape till DNA and blood have been exchanged within the carton......I push the victim to the back of the shelf and walk out in a London Fog trench coat looking all refreshed and aglow. Then I return home and hope the cameras were busy with shop lifters or what?

Anybody got a patch kit?
That is the type of right/left disorder that I have a PHD in
Whatever your sexual preference is, it is yours to deal with as you feel. They say our sexual swing is determined by the hormones present in the womb at the time. With hormonal changes being constant in a persons life, there are no right/wrong grounds to walk on. I would not want to be ridiculed for having a heart mumur or being predisposed to alcoholism simply because they are considered illness's at this exact moment in time. Your sexual being was configured in the womb. There are many a bump in the road toward understanding anything. I suggest that we just hang on and be more forgiving,....starting with ourselves.

I dont to be gay and wonder if my competition is the other sex. Nor do I want to be straight and wonder if I have to "compete" with the other sex. Im sorry, but there are VERY VERY FEW people who would choose to be with a BI-sexual as a relationship unless they are BI themselves.
Ive never heard of Tim but.... if he ever claimed gay and is NOW MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, is he bisexual? I wonder what he tells his kids.
Best of luck to all you people not sure of your sexuality. No one gets it all.... and certainly not with both sexes unless you're lying about it. ; )
To Angel, if you are 'with someone' and thinking about what your competition is, especially to the point of wanting to know what gender you need to be looking out for, there is something not quite right about that relationship. And your assertion that the only people who want a relationship with a bisexual person are other bi-sexual people is wrong as well. I have never hinged my decision of whether I want to be with someone or was attracted to someone on what their sexual orientation is, or, for that matter, what they had in their pants.
I am bi, my husband (of 18 years) knows it, and he is fine with it, in spite of the fact that he is straight. Neither of us is wondering about any 'competition', because neither of us is looking for someone else to replace the other. I fell in love with him, and I married him, not the contents of his underpants.
Some people just simply fall in love. How many "straight" married/single people (men and women) have been known to meet someone of the same sex and decide to leave the life they knew? Its not a matter of gay/straight/bi-sexual. Its about the person who you fall in love with. We have gotten too hung up on titles and have lost our way with simply understanding that we are human, crazy things happen and NEVER say NEVER!

When Fleetwood Mac's classic rock queen, Stevie Nicks was the headliner at the Clinton inaugural, she was overweight due to her recent recovery from drug addiction. She was crucified by the Alternative music press and scene for being overweight.
What a bunch of superficial phonies. I've never taken the alternative rock scene or REM seriously.
I have to fully agree with Roxanne up there!!! Why is it that all of Human Population is so damned obssessed with labeling one another?or Labeling themselves? No wonder the majority of people in this world cannot ever figure out who they truly are these days!!!If you're acting "this way"? or "That way" ? or If you're hanging out with "this person" ? or "That group of friends"? Then you must be "this" or "that"? I really think it is so pathetic that this labeling shit is the best thing that people love to do anymore. If you look at the overall course of history. You'll find that this has been going on for centuries. Labeling people as everything from; witches,niggers,psychotics,to just about everything under the sun. It is sickening!!! They label you as soon as you are born into this world!!! I'm sick of it all! People just need to stop wearing these labels!!! I don't care what they are. We're all one race{ The Human Race!!} Get over it all already!!! I personally don't care about labels for people!!! Be yourself or continue to be what the system will tell you what they think thay you are!!!I'm who I am every single day in and out!! I lived a homosexual life for years until I met and fell in love with the most beautiful woman in my eyes!! And I'm happier now than I've ever been throughout my entire life. We've been together fo over four years now and still going strong. I do not believe in the rules that goes on with the games of labeling each other. "If you're gay?" "Then you're always gay." That's a bunch of bullshit!!!Life is full of changes!! Life is full of various learning processes!! Life is actually one vast learning process that actually begins the moment the Doctor slaps the very first breath into your lungs!! That's when you have just learned your very first lesson in life: How to breathe. And it never stops from that point onwards you continue to learn lessons in life. For 34 years of age I've learned a great deal throughout my life. And from all the shit I've been through in my life. I have no pity for no-one whatsoever. Be yourself and don't let people tell you what you are or what you should be. Fuck them!!! Only you know who the hell you truly are. I know as a fact that people can be Bi-sexual as well. Or Are they just Bi- Curious? Yes I've been through that one too. I have had to deal with alot of rule and policy makers with that struggle!!! "You're either gay or straight." "There's no in betweens!!!" Bullshit!! Who the hell died and made you God??? As for God? There's only one true God!!! He doesn't care by which name you call him by. Besides, God is a Universal Spiritual force. Neither male nor female. How do I know all of this? I read and study shit!!!Also I have had enough experiences in my life to know that I know what I'm talking about. I'll leave you with that much for now. bye for now...
