Tra la la la

So it’s my Friday. And it’s the last day of work before the vacation officially begins. Wahoo! I had a mini vacation last month but I still had tons of responsibilities tagging me so it wasn’t very relaxing. However, I am off to Fort Lauderdale this coming week and I can’t wait. Oh sure, for the money spent, I could have booked a cruise or gone somewhere uber gay. Well, I live in an “uber gay” city so I’m a little over the whole gayer than gay thing at present. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not kicking anyone here. I’m just content being Moby vs gay Moby at the moment.

Switching gears slightly, I offered the “olive branch” of friendship to someone recently who rejected it. Not mean or rudely however, I was surprised as said person went out of their way to be my friend. Odd? yes. Unexexplainable? No. I sorta think I’ve puzzled it out. (paging Dr Freud.) He developed an image of who I was based on where I work, the charities I work for etc. He also reads my blog off and on so has an idea of my persona. However, as people tend to do, I guess he built up an image of what he thought I was and when I didn’t live up to that image, he decided I was no longer friendship material.

Having met me, several bloggers out there can attest to my directness. I make no pretentions about my life. Not biggie there. I think the part that shocks people is that I don’t sugar coat the parts of my life that may or may not be widely accepted. I can speak as openly about religion as I can my last carnal encounter w/o batting an eyelash. The way I see it, there is no shame in my actions so I see no reason to sugar coat it to make you feel comfortable w/your own issues.

Having said all that, I think this person built up an image of me based on the refined parts of my id. He neglected to notice the other parts and now can’t seem to reconcile the two. Sad but not my problem.
