Good god, I haven't laid eyes on
this website in nearly two years!
Why have I been so busy?
Getting certified to
teach in five new
subject areas
I'm almost through
a Psychology program
at San Francisco State
(eight months from certification)
After 19 years in Oakland,
I moved to Concord, due to...
... A very happy,
still-somewhat -new
relationship with Erich
| Erich, 2005 |

| Together since 6/21/2005 |

GEORGE W. BUSH isn't always wrong.
He said that if Gore won the election, we'd
have war, scandal and a lousy economy.
Sure enough,
Gore won...
and that's exactly what we've got.

WELCOME
to still another damn website cluttering up
the vast virtual strip mall of cyberspace
Everybody's got a webpage. This is mine.
Terry"MAX"Minton
... most of my friends call
me MAX
Okay, I stole the name of my website from
Minton's Playhouse,
the coolest, hottest jazz club
in jazz-age Harlem, the place where Charlie Parker
invented be-bop.
I wasn't there, but I figure if PeeWee
can have
a playhouse, I can have a playhouse...
Max is a stolen name, too --
I picked it up from Max Prince,
a character I once
played on stage. friends who saw the show said
"You aren't playing Max, you ARE Max!" and the
name stuck.
I could have been called worse -- I've
also played
Oscar, Henry, Mel, Felix, Fagin and
Daddy Warbucks. So
let's just call me MAX...

a word on
DIVERSITY
My life is filled with people who
live their lives
outside the mainstream of white male privilege.
It's a complex issue. My closest friends are a
Black straight man, a gay Filipino, a white Lesbian,
a Black Latino, a Chinese FTM transexual, a gay
Black man, a straight male Jew,
and a straight white woman.
Who's missing?
Dang, Erich's the
token white guy in my life.
For more on issues of diversity, racism and
white privilege, check out my other website:
You talkin' to me?
