Can You Hear Me Now? II
I woke up this morning to discover Tmobile had terminated my cell service. I get to Starbucks in the Castro expecting to log on, pay some bills, blah blah blah except no signal. I’m like “oh k, What gives?” So I call’em up, on someone else’s phone mind you, and “oops! we are sorry sir, we cancelled your account for no apparent reason”. With a little digging, we discovered the mysterious error. You’ll remember I lost my cellphone a few weeks back. Well, Tmoblie forgot to remove the automatic account termination after 30 days. I did get a very sincere apology and 50 extra minutes so I guess I can’t complain too much. I think they did it on purpose just to make sure the account wasn’t stolen. Bitches!
Tmobile overall has been a decent service. I haven’t had any trouble w/their cell coverage. Plus, I’m not currently on a contract so they know they have to be nice to me! hehehe
Incoherent Ramblings
I’m in a mood today. On my way to work, I passed this guy that looked exactly like the preacher from the movie “Poltergeist”. I mean it was spooky. He was humming too. I was so struck by the likeness, I got chills. I got the giggles right after.
I guess I should be in better spirits. 1. I mentioned to the employees of the new taco bell close to my house how they kept getting my orders wrong and they gave me my order free today. 2. My friend Mikee from Dallas might be coming to visit real soon. He is a hoot! And, on top of that, I was walking thru the park to work and found a 20 dollar bill! The ether is telling me to “snap out of it” I think. Maybe I should listen?
Work is still very sad over the death of our deputy. Not to mention, I had a good cry yesterday over roblog‘s current life drama. In a nutshell, Rob is being torn apart watching his ex being devastated by opportunistic infections due to AIDS. I don’t think if I were the sick person, my ex would be as caring. I cried partly out of compassion and the other out of shame. I hope to someday find someone as genuine and caring as Rob to share my life with. He doesn’t see himself as anything other than what he is. I see him as much more. Everytime I read his blog and how he struggles, I come away with the utmost respect and admiration for him. It makes me want to be a better person. I think that is the best compliment one human could ever give another.
Die SBC DIE!
I hate SBC! Or the artist formerly known as Pacific Bell. I much prefer cable internet over DSL as the speeds are often much faster for what you pay. However, when I moved into this building, Comcrack had not yet wired it for high speed internet. I was left w/SBC or nothing.
Apparently, because SBC contracts out for DSL, even though the bill has their name on it, I have different billing cycles for my phone and DSL servcie. This creates a problem in that one month I get billed for just my phone line and the next I get billed for my phone line and 2 months worth of DSL. It’s not breaking me but it is annoying. I call today to try and resolve the issue and I’m given lip service by both sides (after being on hold for a whopping 16 minutes) about how they can’t change my contract, blah blah blah.
Were it not for my investment in books, tuition, etc for school, I’d pay the termination fee and switch today. However, reason has overriden my anger to strangle the life out of my phone.
OY! I feel better now.
Here’s a Thought!
People often tease me about some of my random observations about society, gays, etc. I thought I’d start a list of things I often catch myself thinking or saying. Sometimes funny, sometimes stupid, sometimes just a thought.
Like:
If you are over the age of 30, you can no longer refer to yourself as ‘boy’ or ‘boi’.
So if you are straight-acting does that mean I can’t get a blowjob?
No, inches are on the OTHER side of the ruler.
If your belly is larger than your waist, you are NOT a jock.
It’s not your fault but, it is your problem.
Pics of you flipping off the camera were cool ONCE in the 80’s.
On a Sad Note…
A Sheriff’s who guards our building died early this morning of a heart attack. At the ripe age of 43. He apparently died in his sleep so his passing was believed to have been peaceful.
From my perspective he was a great guy and well liked by all of us. He will be missed!
Ego Booster
I’ve noticed as of late that I seem to get more attention from guys. I know some of you are probably saying “duh Moby!” but it wasn’t always the case. I mean take my friend Bobby. He is a very attractive & muscular man. I’d kill to have a body like his. When we hang out, I often notice guys turn their heads to look at him as we walk by. He, of course, thinks they are stalking him but that’s a whole nother story. (Don’t go there Sally!) My point is that I’ve always thought of myself as above average in looks but never attractive. A big part of it stems from childhood, blah blah bah. But lately, I seem to be turning heads on my own. I have to admit it’s a nice feeling. I’m not so grand as to think I’m flawless but it is nice to be noticed.
I haven’t really gained that much muscle since last year. I think I’m actually a tad smaller. (I stopped working out for a few months right after the breakup.) I’ve leaned out a little but not that much. What has changed that I’m getting more attention now? I don’t know but I sure likes it.
I’d like to think I have more confidence but I’ve had that. I guess it’s not important as long as it continues. hehehe.
On a side note, I will admit I’ve put on some muscle since the old days. I used to be very skinny. My chest was like paper stretched over bone. Don’t believe me? Here is a pic to prove it! (GOD, I can’t believe I’m reposting this pic)
How’s that for scary? I don’t see myself as that person anymore mind you. But compare that pic to my pics now? Big difference huh? (And I don’t mean just the lack of hair.) Anyay, I’ve come a long way since then. I don’t know if I’ll ever be ripped as I like to eat too much. I’m also of the mindset I enjoy the gym but I don’t live for it. And thats ok w/me. I’m comfortable in my skin. I like who I am inside and out. Not many people can say that honestly.
There you have it. Moby’s shallow narcissistic rant for the day. I don’t know about you but I feel better.
Gym Jam
I ran into a cutie in the dry sauna today at the gym. A tad young for me but he had deep blue eyes like pools of deep water. I’m a sucker for eyes so I gave him my number. We did the back and forth eye contact and lingering gazes, etc. Having no shame, I walked over to him in his towel gave him a strong handshake along w/that deep piercing look that says “yes, I want you naked face down in my bed” and introduced myself. He seemed stupified by my boldness but totally responded to it. Seeing his interest and being the incorrigible flirt that I am, I leaned over and gave him a quick but memorable kiss before I left.
I’m such a stinker!
Work Drama II
More drama on the work front. After the labor meeting last week, a certain supervisor has been going out of his way to antagonize me. He went so far as to try and write me up yesterday. He took a very simple mistake and tried to really over dramatize it. Even the shift manager thought it was over the top. Needless to say, I called in the troops. With one phone call from our Union rep, the write up was taken out of my file and destroyed.
Power to the People!!!
Dore Weekend
I can’t believe I didn’t blog about Dore weekend. For those of you not in the know, this weekend was the Dore Alley fair. It’s basically a smaller version of the Folsom St Fair. I worked the booth again for the BCC. One, it kept me out of mischief and two, I get such a rewarding feeling from doing it. Not to mention, it’s a lot of fun. I get to stand around and look pretty. hehehe.
I had planned to take tons of pics but I took the wrong memory card so I only got a few. However, Tim and Norm, the photographers for the calendar, will send me some of theirs. I’ll post more later.
Well, if you like that last pic you’ll love these. Here I am caught off guard w/a clueless look on my face! lol
The re-take looks much better to me. Course, we always judge ourselves different from others. What say you?
