Mike from Broken Cupid is holding a contest. The prize: a free copy of the book “Gay and Single… Forever?”
Mike swears by the book, and I must admit he has piqued my curiosity. I like what I’ve read so far. Check out a free preview of “Gay and Single… Forever?” at Google Books.
One passage in particular struck a chord with me:
I had visions of walking hand in hand with my guy to the farmer’s market to pick up a loaf of blueberry bread from a local Mennonite baker, and then we’d go home to cuddle and read on a worn but comfortable sofa that screamed student chic. I was disappointed by my reality. For much of high school I sat on the sidelines and watched my straight peers date up a storm. That I could accept. After all, I was still in the closet, so who would I date? And yet, even after joining gay society, I was still on the fringe, witnessing guys coming out after me and getting into relationships before me.
Stop jumping the bloody queue! I wanted to shout.

The vision of the farmers’ market and blueberry bread reminds me of Oprah’s “The Secret”. The basic principle is to use your positive thoughts and energy to get what you want.
