Awesome.If you’re looking for something new to listen to, watch or play, look no further than the musicMagpie Store. What's even WAY cooler is that now that I've bought this book from they keep recommending this DVD called, 'Puppetry of the Penis: The Ancient Art of Genital Origami'. I found myself identifiying with many of his hilarious psychotic episodes as his stories of surviving the very difficult task of being thrust into a completely different environment unfolded.

He portrays his relationship as something sweet, touching and enviable. He communicates thoughts that are relative to anyone gay, straight or purple. It's not used to prop up the ideas conveyed in this book. I also enjoyed the fact that yes, he is gay, but he doesn't wave it like a flag. He has a way of pulling you into his neurotic thoughts and then showing you the genunine humor he finds in every one of them. That eventually led me to his blog and then to his book which I thorougly enjoyed. Every time I found myself chuckling at an article I'd notice it was written by him. I became familiar with Dave White's writing via. OK, maybe I didn't cry, but I definitely laughed. White lives in West Hollywood with his boyfriend, the Morocco Mole, and is locally esteemed as the “King of Pancakes.” His reviews and features have been seen in E! Online, IFILM, LA Weekly, Dallas Observer, Instinct, The Advocate, Glue, Cybersocket, Total Movie, Unzipped, and Frontiers. “They requested more fashion and skin-care features in its place, which makes me kind of proud.”Dave White is a freelance journalist specializing in music. White explores his neighborhood ? “queens: 6 percent cranky 70-year-old Russians who give you the evil eye when you walk past: 2 percent blonde girls with big, round, hard fakeys who think Jennifer Anniston just got lucky: 10 percent miscellaneous cool kids, hustlers, and actual crazy people: 5 percent.”White gets gigs as a freelance writer, goes to the grocery store where his Russian neighbors ask him questions because they think he’s from the old country and encounters Sara Gilbert at the Laundromat, Leonard Maltin at the movies, and Ben Affleck driving a Rolls-Royce so ridiculously conspicuous he might as well be driving Chitty-Chitty, Bang-Bang.What began as weekly diaries emailed to out-of-state family and friends evolved into a blog called “Dave White Knows” and in 2003 became a monthly column in Instinct called “Exile in Guyville.” Alyson Books now presents White’s blogs in expanded form with loads of new material that will be even more irritating to the Instinct readers who didn’t like his column.

Here’s the diary of a man who in mid-life found himself uprooted and dumped into West Hollywood, an unfamiliar place not exactly known for stability.
