My partner is involved in a charity event and today was auctioned off for $4100.00 Apparently, it was the highest single auction bid in the history of this particular charity. The fact that every dollar goes to the charities in question only makes the day that much sweeter. Kudos to him for doing such a fantastic job. (I’ll post the pic as soon as I get the digital camera connectin fixed).

Chance Encounters
On a completely shallow note, something funny happened today. I guess I should start out w/a little background history. I used to be very skinny. I mean bone skinny. I’ve been working really hard these last few years to really put on some muscle. Especially, this last year. And I have to say . . . its working. I’ve gained almost 2 inches on my chest and arms since January. I’m very proud of myself. Anyway, back to the story.
There is this guy I see at the gym often. I used to “cruise” him and he always gave me the cold shoulder. And not just indifference but sort of rude/snubby sort of way. So today, he comes up to me, asks my name, and wants to know if I’d like to “get together” sometime. (thats “lets boink” in hoe language)
The reason I bring it up is I was torn in my response. I wasn’t sure to be snubby and return the same cold shoulder he always gave me or to accept. I’m curious to see what others would do in the same scenario. I admit I’m still very attracted to him yet a part of me resents him for only wanting to know me now. It wasn’t like I was fat before or overly pushy in my “cruising”. I’m pretty quick on the uptake, if you don’t show any interest, I look elsewhere. What would you have done?
Grrrrr!
Ok, that last blog made me so made I’m off to the gym to work off some steam!
Ok see now this just pisses me off!
They can give $35 MILLION to the faith based initiatives but screw increasing the Ryan White Act Funding. Explain to me how that would make sense to anyone but a narrow minding, republican?
This is the reason people need to get out and vote! Lets face it people The Ryan White Acct is the single LARGEST funding program for people w/HIV and disabling AIDS. And our glorious president, who preached inclusiveness and tolerance, has formed a committee that has recommended to NOT increase funding for the Act.
New House!
If only life were this simple!
New features on my blog
I’ve been poking around some other blogs and I’ve discovered some nifty ideas and plug-ins for my own blog. I’ve added a MOOD pic which is HI-larious and a Shoutbox. At first, I thought I had to be a paying member but I guess they did away w/that part of this site.
Anway, I’m just home from being a very bad boy so I’m off to bed. (don’t ask)
Bushwhacked
This really sums it up folks! The New ZERO Dollar Bill!
Couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag!
Blacks and Gays / Civil Rights
Ya know I’m pretty astounded lately to see a lot of black civil rights activists denouncing gay rights. I’m even more appalled to hear them say gay rights are not a civil rights issue. The only reason any of them have given is that being gay is a choice and being black isn’t. Well my friends, its never been a choice for me. I was born gay. I didn’t wake up one day and say, “ya know, I think I’ll alienate myself from my family, friends, and co-workers and decide to be gay“. I have never met a man, woman, or child who woke up one day and just decided to be gay. Come on people, quit hiding behind fear of the unknown and ignorance [1]“ignunce” as I like to call it and wake up. The same fear you are cowing to is the same fear that whites used to keep blacks slaves. The fight for equal rights is the same the battles may be different but in the end we just want equality. Is that so much to ask?
I realized what “gay” meant at the ripe age of 14. Being a naive kid, I ran to tell my parents. Instead of love and acceptance or even just tolerance, I came away w/a broken jaw and two broken ribs. How you ask? My father beat me within an inch of my life and then threw me headlong into the street. All for admitting I was gay. How many black fathers beat their children for being born black? I have yet to meet one. Am I belittling the blacks’ fight for civil rights? Not in the least. Am I saying gay rights are a civil issue? Damn Skippy I am. Just because our [gays] cause is different, doesn’t make it any less worthy of recognition.

Where’s The Beef?
The Boyfriend and I at Boston Market…Soooo glam right?
How corny is that? Just wanted to show him off. The first time in my life I can visualize myself growing old w/someone. Kinda scary and kinda comforting all in one breath. Wish me luck?
