I'm tired of doctors telling me that something is
wrong and don't do anything about it. Today I was told that my doctor is worried
about the fluid around, near, on my lungs--DUH!! I've been complaining about my
breathing for a couple of weeks. Now I have to get a lung X-ray on Monday, go
back to see my doctor and then go to see the lung doctor on the
16th--meanwhile?????

I am tired of homophobes, bigots, christians who
don't practice what their god tells them to and 'gay friendly' people who don't
vote/march/picket, do anything for gay rights.

I am tired of gays who play it safe and let others
fight their battles. I am tired of gays who remain silent while others put them
down. I am tired of gays who use excuses not to get into the faces of those
holding them down to 'keep the peace'.

I am tired of fighting anti-gay groups for 62 years
and fighting for every inch of rights that should be given without a
fight.

I am tired shedding tears watching Siegfried and Roy
perform their last act together in public--in fact I am tired of dissolving into
tears when things move me which has always happened but happens more as I get
old.

I'm tired fighting fat whether I am winning or
losing (but will continue to fight it.)

I am tired of seeing bad movies, having TV shows I
like cancelled and not being able to afford theatre.

I am tired (and get tired) not sleeping completely
through a night.

I am tired of stupidity, rudeness, people not
caring, selfishness, humorless people.

I'm tired of kids being abused, being 'thrown away',
not getting the education they need and deserve and I am tired of teachers not
getting paid more, not even close to what they are worth!

I am tired of Americans dismissing arts as if they
aren't important to a society, to our children and to our culture.

Folks, I am tired of being tired!!! I do have a
choice--I am going to stop being tired!!
