Random Smandom IV

I’m on day two of my lovely 12 hour shifts. I’m begrudgingly surviving. Tomorrow is supposed to be the last day. Today is a tad busier however, no major crises1 so far. The All-Star game is officially tomorrow. I’m on the medical/fire side of the room this week and it is hoppin’ today. The PD side is relatively calm overall. We had 2 shootings today which then caused a vehicle accident but that seems to be the big drama of the day so far.

With the last post about register vs subscriber, I got a whole slew of new users. The list is well over a hundred now. If I haven’t expressed it before, let me say how truly honored I am you all enjoy my rants. I may not always be right but I always have an opinion!2

Speaking of, the Flight attendant texted me today. He is coming to SF in a couple of weeks. You can imagine the very large smile that put on my face! hehehe

And as a parting shot, if this doesn’t leave you in throws of laughter3 there is something wrong with you!

I think I was around 9 or 10 years old in this shot. Look how skinny I was…


1 It took me 3 attempts to figure out the plural version of “crisis”.
2 People were a little confused w/the subscriber vs log-in links so I added “register” to the latter.
3 I have more to add however, scanning and tweaking old polaroid shots takes time.

News You Can Use

I’m always tickled at how much my blog traffic goes up when I post adult stuff. It really is true that sex sells. hehehe. However, lately some folks have felt left out. It is not intentional. You just probably missed the original post about my intentions. I get a few reoccurring questions about the restricted side of the blog so I thought I’d take a moment to answer them here.

1) Why do you hide parts of your blog?
Expecting to have absolute control of an open medium is ridiculous however, I do not feel the need to shock my family or coworkers about the more explicit parts of my life. It is for this reason and this reason alone that I restrict certain posts.

2) I’m confused, I’m a subscriber but I can’t see anything new.
Being a subscriber means you get an email every time I update the public side of the blog. Being a registered user allows you to see the restricted parts once I upgrade your user level. If you register, you’ll get a personal email from me asking you to identify yourself if I don’t already know who you are. Nothing overtly revealing just a sort of cyber introduction. This also assures me you are not a sp@mbot looking to do harm.

3) How do I know if I’m logged in?
There are a variety of ways however, the easiest is to bookmark my log-in page. When you load the link it will take you directly to the log-in page or straight to the blog dashboard if you are already logged in. Then it is just a simple click to load the blog.

That’s it. Nothing sinister or secretive really. Just a few simple precautions. If you don’t wanna see the explicit stuff, don’t register. (Wait, who am I talking too? lol) I also got an incredibly sweet compliment from one of my new readers the other day. He said my blog was incredibly organized for so much content. I’ve seen what a hatchet job of html can look like so I do make an effort to keep it simple and easy to navigate. I still haven’t quite added everything in yet. And as many of you know, I’m always tinkering w/the layout and plug-ins so it is a work in progress. Feedback is always welcome.

As much as it pains me, duty calls and I’m off to work. The fourth of July was a nightmare of course. Everyone acts so surprised that people “gasp* were setting off fireworks. It is also amazing how many people try to justify calling 911 for a noise complaint. Sorry to disappoint you but, your desire to sleep is not a city-wide crisis. It could be disconcerting or even upsetting but it is NOT a 911 call. Ok, I’m done venting.

Cunt-inental

Remind me to NEVER fly with Continental airlines ever again. Both flights coming/going have been late. I’m sitting in IAH waiting, waiting, and waiting for my plane to arrive. I just heard the plane finally landed an hour and half late! So much for trying to get here on TIME. It could be worse I guess. I could have missed the damn flight all together.

The wait did give me some precious down time to work on some of the pics from the weekend. I had a really good time at the GBS (gay blogger summit II) this past weekend. The pic below should give you an indication of how it went.

Click here or on my pics link in the tidbits on the left for more. I’m only about halfway thru so you’ll have to come back for the rest.

The plane has apparently been douched and is fit for human travel again. I must be going…

Tuckered Out

Finally made it to Texas. I’m a tired puppy. Being on the go since Thursday has finally caught up with me. I’m relaxing at Trev’s house. Headed out East tomorrow to see the clan. Still working on the pics.

More later when I have more energy.

8 Fraking Memes

Everyone knows I hate memes however, I was tagged by Kelly Stern with a follow up request from Large Tony. I like Large T’s version better and it is hard to resist a southern man who says please. Actually, this was a hard meme to do. If you read my private posts w/any regularity, there is very little I haven’t covered.

Eight Sexual Things You May Not Know About Me.

8. I consider my incredibly strong libido a vice. (One I can live with but a vice nonetheless)

7. I’ve gotten so good at giving oral most guys rarely last more than 10 minutes.

6. The first time I had sex w/a women, I vomited afterwards.

5. I am not very shy but after a few drinks I get very aggressive. After this weekend, that isn’t so much of a secret anymore.

4. If I’m intimidated by a guy, I will not get a boner now matter how hard I try.

3. I got out of a speeding ticket once by blowing the cop.

2. I got paid to have sex w/a guy once when I was only 19.

1. I had sex w/my step-brother, 2 step-cousins, and 4 jocks from my high school.

I never know who to tag so if you wanna do it, just post a comment or trackback here.

Prom or Porn?

First things first, brettcajun made it safe and sound! hehehe Public transist is new to him so we had to go over it a few times. It is good to see Brett again. He is still his normal charming rascally self. I had to bail for work but left him in the capable hands of my roomie’s boyfriend who is also in town.

Speaking of, I routinely forget my roomie did porn (google Ray Stone). When you know someone as well as he and I know each other you just sort of black it out. lol It doesn’t help that his boyfriend has also just made the jump into porn. (Ty Lebouf on hothouse’s blog) So, Ty being from New Orleans naturally knew Brett. hehehe. It is a small world after all. I left them together laughing and cutting up at the apartment. Lord only knows what kind of mischief they’ll get into today.

Feeling OK?

Apparently, I don’t date much. I mentioned to a couple of buds from work I had a date, you’d have thought I got drafted in the armed services. People were all up in my grill asking “what gives”? I guess it has been a while since I’ve gone on a real date. One bud was feeling my forehead all day asking if I was feeling ok. This from a man who owns 5 t-shirts. I’ll take his advice once he realizes getting dressed has more to do than getting out of the shower. hehehe

In other news, the blogger shindig is this Friday. Appears to be a good turn out so far. I’m interested to see how some of the personalities “blend” together. Half the group I already know and the other half I’m looking forward to adding to my list of knowns. Sadly, several hopefuls will not be attending. *sniffle* You know who you are and you will be missed.

*

I’m flying home right after the festivities to see the clan. One brother had to cancel due to some medical problems w/one of his chirruns. I’m bummed but still planning to make the best of it. I’m also looking forward to seeing my friend Trevan. I always crash w/him while in town and I’m sure we’ll paint the town red at least one night. I’m also hoping to meet one of my xbox gamer buddies from there but he might end up being out of town for work. *sigh*

Ok, eyelids are heavy, sleep now.

B

Today’s blog post is brought to you by the letter B. B for brettcajun. B for his birthday. Ya’ll hop over and wish him a good one.

**BTW, he is officially older than me no!**

What To Do?

When you run into a fellow blogger someplace naughty do you?

a) stop everything
b) ignore him
c) say hi and go back to what you were doing.

I chose answer C last night. I think I might have come off as rude. He sorta caught me right in the middle of a oral interlude that I wasn’t willing to let go. So if you are reading this, I came back around to chat w/you but then YOU were busy.

This Week In Pics

In my never-ending tinkering of the blog, I’m adding a new section. “This week in pics” is my endeavor to keep up w/taking pics for the blog. I get lazy at times and maybe this will help.

Speaking of tinkering, I also added a translation page (see left). It only supports about five languages for now however, I expect it to grow. Looking at my blog stats taught me quite a few folks from overseas read my blog. Hopefully, the little translation will help. Anyone overseas reading is welcome to give me feedback.

On with the pics. . .

The pic used to verify my replacement backpack from bumbakpaks.com (Very good packs btw)

A very odd happen stance. I was eating at the Cove one day this past week and saw this guy getting filmed in front of the Castro Theatre. I still don’t know what they were doing…

My latest flavor of protein drink. Not bad tasting however, it tends to clump up a lot.

A cross statue in the Wharf. How very holy of me, right?

Bobby in his attempt to fall up the escalator. LOL
