School – Revisited

I confirmed my registration for school today. I’ve been having trouble getting my confimation of scheduling from the Matriculation office. I’m exempt from matriculation as I know my skill level, class needed, and I certainly don’t need to meet w/a counselor about my “career choices”.

The only step now is to pay for tuition and books. I can’t do that until Aug 2nd for some reason. Otherwise, I’m all set.

The only downer is the campus is across the city from me so it will be a haul on my scooter every week. I guess it can’t be all roses. lol

Blogger No More

It is w/a heavy sigh that I remove Texan from my blogroll. He hasn’t posted sincy early May. I think it has become obvious he has abandoned blogging. Or at least this particular blog.

He was one of my faves and I am sorry to see him go. I hope life is treating him well.

But never fear after the clouds comes the sun. I welcome the addition of brettcajun. I’ve been meaning to add him for awhile but I keep getting distracted. It is nice to finally have another cajun on the list. I was born in Lousy-ana and grew up in TX. Some would say I had the best of both worlds. Some would say otherwise.

Oh, I’ve noticed links to my site have increased…A LOT! So a BIG thank you to everyone who has added me to your blog lists. I’m happy you enjoy my ignunce.

I’ll probably be adding more links to my list in the coming week. I’m still catching up.

Meme Me This…

So Large Tony‘s got me doing a Meme. (course that boy could convince me to do just about anything.)

The rules are simple.

1. If you want to participate, leave a comment below saying “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by asking you five questions – each person’s will be different. I’ll post the questions in the comments section of this post.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Here goes.

1. What is the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you in grade school?
That’s easy. Fifth grade, I had Miss Hanchey as my teacher. On the outside she was a mean spiteful wench. On the inside, she was a sweet old lady who loved kids. So one day after grammar studdies, I’m goofing off (I was a holy terror in grade school) leaning way back in my chair, holding myself upright by my feet under my desk. I inadvertently farted and it was a loud one. Not only that but the chair seat was plastic so it reverberated even louder. The whole room burst out laughing. I was so startled I lost my footing and fell straight back. Two whammies for the price of one!

2. Name something that you really wish you were better at.
Sucking cock. No, just kidding, I am an expert at that already. Uh…um…I always wished I could sing. My child hood fantasy was to be a singer. The first time I heard my recorded voice played back I was heartbroken to discover I couldn’t carry a note if my life depended on it.

3. What specific item in your closet/wardrobe would you wear to definitely get a man’s attention?
This is a toughy. I can dress to impress but I am very much a T-shirt and jeans kinda guy. I’d have to say a nice snug pair of pants to show off my backside. Guys usually notice my eyes and my butt first anyway. If you got it, flaunt it!

4. What would your friends be surprised to find in the trunk or glove box of your car?
Well I currently own a motor scooter so that would be kinda hard. (I sold my car upon moving to SF) But back when I had a car, I’d have to say a taser. I kept a taser in my glovebox for years.

5. M&M’s or Skittles?
Defintely M&M’s. I’m not a big candy person. The only other candy I find irresistible is Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Tag your it!

Gym Who?

I’ve been slacking a lot in the gym lately. I think, in part, due to the lack of eye candy. I know that sounds shallow but seeing all the hot guys pumping iron really inspires me to push myself harder. Switching to Crunch while convenient, the day crowd is lacking to say the least. Switching again would be stupid as Crunch is literally a block from my house. I’ve been maintaining my current mass so it’s not a total loss. I guess I need to find a better way to motivate myself. When the ex and I were still together, he was there to help push me along. He always had to out do me so I was constantly pushed to get stronger. That’s history obviously.

What’s a fella to do? All my work cronies live too far away to make switching worthwhile. Bobby would be a great choice if he lived in the city instead of Valla-crack (Vallejo). *sigh* I’ve tried looking for a workout partner but most of the fags here workout at Gold’s or 24hour. There is a 24hour fitness just a few blocks up the street from me but it’s laced w/idiot staff that only care about your money. (I was w/24hour when I moved SF. I have first hand knowledge of their ignunce.)

I guess for now I’ll stick to it. I redid my routine in February. Mabye it’s time to switch again.

The Trip Home – III

So I’m finally getting around to posting the last of the pics from the trip. I wish I could say I’ve been too busy. No, just a bit lazy.

Here is moi and the oldest and 2nd to oldest brother. These are the two I’m closest too.
The Brothers.

Here is my 4 and 1/2 year old nephew Ricky. Every time I see him it reminds me of how much I want kids.
Ricky

And last but not least, my newest niece Katelynn. Ain’t she cute? Yeah, I think so too.
Katelynn

I had such a great time visiting this time. Normally, I’m anxious to leave and get back to SF. I found myself almost not wanting to leave. (Almost mind you, I have no desire to move back to TX)

The Trip Home – II

Saturday night was the birthday party. I think about 250 people showed up. The venue was just the right size too. My friend celibrates his b’day w/3 other guys which is why so many people were in attendance.

Here is a pic of the birthday boys all together. Gary, Trevan, Dan, & Jim
Birthday Boys

Here is Curtis & Mikey taking a moment to strike a pose.
Curtis & Mikey
It was good to see Mikey. I haven’t seen him in about 4 years. Life is treating him well.

Gary and Jay. Another batch of buddies not seen in some time.
Gary & Jay

I took some pics from the club but they didn’t turn out well. Very blurry as I was shaking my groove thang at the time. Oh well.

Time to hit the gym so I’ll try to post the pics of the family later today…

The Trip Home – I

Ok, I’m at work so this might get cut short. Anyway, the trip home was great. I had more fun than I’ve had in a long time on a trip back to TX. I often complain that the trips home don’t always work out for the many facets of my id. Well this time around, everyone got a work out. From my inner child reconnecting w/the family to my inner slut getting a groove on. My inner fag went out dancing and then shopping the next day. Hell, even my inner bitch got a quick chance to speak up when my flight was an hour and half late and the surly counter lady decided to cop an attitude. Yeah, I’d say all of me had a good time. lol

So here we are at Barnaby’s, my favorite restaurant in H-town.
Barnabys

And here is what is left of my dish. I always get the same thing. BBQ chicken w/mash potatoes and garlic sticks. mmmm-kay!
Crumbs

Here is Trevan (the b’day boy), myself, and Mikey (in from Dallas) having a moment after dinner. Oy what a mug shot ey?
Trio

But wait there’s more…here is Dan, Gary, & Todd at the Black Eyed Pea on Saturday for lunch. Gary (in the middle is also one of the b’day boys).
The Guys

Stay tuned for pics of the party and the clan!

Painful Reminder

I’m gonna go off on a rant here. (The trip info is still in works.)

Why are men such dicks?

I’ve been chatting w/a friend from back home in Houston via email for a few days now. Due to my schedule on such a short trip, we did not get time to visit in person. Anyway, I discovered he recently split w/his bf. There seem to be some striking parallels between his and my breakup. I got very teary eyed after reading his latest email. The pain he is going thru is all too familiar. Saying ‘it will get better’ is so cliche. We all know it will but, it does nothing to lesson the pain now.

I think I’m gonna start a sex site called “Sex with Strings”. Meaning…yeah you can hook up for sex but the focus is also on finding someone compatible out of bed as much as in bed. Wouldn’t that be a gas!? I wonder if it would go over well. I’m obviously trying to make light of things here. However, I do believe that our culture has these polarity in regards to sex and relationships. It’s always “looking for long term LTR not hookups” or “looking for hookups only“. Why can’t you look for both? I know it ties into our irrational need to conform to the hetero morality. Lets face it folks, men are wired differently than women. So when you take women out of the equation, it doesn’t make sense to try and apply rules that were never meant for same sex relationships. DUH! I’m not saying monogamy doesn’t have a place in same sex LTR’s, (which so many often intepret I do), just that we need to be honest w/ourselves and our partners about our needs/desires. It’s that simple.

Ok, I’m totally off focus here but that’s it for now. I need to get ready for work.

Home Safe & Sound

Ok, I made it home to SF safe and sound. The plane was again late but only by 30 minutes this time. I had a great time and was completely tuckered out. I managed to squeeze in the tivo’d episodes of Stargate: SG1 & Atlantis and then I crashed for a 12 blissful hours of sleep.

I have a ton of email to sort thru so if yours is in there, bare w/me. I’ll get to it eventually.

Oh, pics coming as well.
