Feeling Better & Random Musings

I’ve started dealing some of the issues in my life that are bothering me. That in itself has put me in better spirits. I think, like Brat, last week I was majorly PMS’ing. Oh yes, men pms. But for us, it stands for Pansy Man Syndrome. It is that time of the month where we go from our normal selves to this quivering pile of emotions run amok. So anyway, I’m in a better mood this week.

I had some random pics to post but I somehow deleted them w/o knowing it. That or I’m just a tard. Either way, they are gone and haven’t a clue where they went. If they surface, I’ll post’em.

On the work front, I have a remedial trainee starting today. She really dosen’t need remedial but she flubbed up a few times during her monitoring sessions so I guess they wanted to make sure she can cut it. I get to weed out all her bad habits. She is a nice lady and really seems to want the job so we’ll see.

I’m not sure if I mentioned it but I’m headed back home to Houston this Friday. I’m taking a long weekeng for a good friend’s birthday. He celebrates it w/2 other of our mutual friends and it is sort of big event. Several hundred people will be in attendance. I’m also planning to visit the kin as well. I’m thinking I might audio and photo blog it just for shits and giggles.

No more ramblings for now.

Whats In Your MP3 Player?

I often see people post their playlists from their mp3 players so I thought I’d give it a whirl. First, I don’t have ipod. I have a thing for simplicity and even a little synchronicity thrown in for good measure. I use my Ipaq 6315 phone/pda as my mp3 player. It serves as an all-in-one device for me which is perfect!

So anyway, this weeks list:

1. Madonna – Die Another Die
2. Tom Jones – Sex Bomb (remix)
3. Amber – We need to be Naked (remix)
4. Sophie – Murder On The Dance Floor
5. Moony – Dove (original mix)
6. Sugar Babes – Round & Round (extended mix)
7. Elvis vs JXL – A Little Less Conversation.
8. The Tamperer – Can You Feel It.
9. Dina Carroll – Without Love
10. ? – The Ketchup song
11. M People – One Night In Heaven (Oakenfeld remix)
12. Alice Deejay – Celebrate Our Love.
13. Cher – The Music’s No Good W/O You. (my fave)
14. Lio – Rapture
15. Kylie Minogue – Better The Devil You Know
16. 3SL – Take It Easy
17. Jean Jacques Smoothie – 2 People
18. Atomic Kitten – It’s Ok

24. The Faces – I Wish I Knew What You Know (remix)
25. Nora Jones – Don’t Know Why (remix)

So Now What?



I’ve got the podcast setup so now what do I do? I haven’t really decided yet how I plan to go about it. Should I only podcast conversations I think relevant or should I podcast my regular blog entries for that extra ummph that is Moby? Shit, I dunno.

For now, I think I’ll randomly do audio for posts from home. But don’t hold me to it.

The Moby Files Go Live!

Well, I’ve decided to join the podcasting foray. It’s taken me long enough I think. For clarity, any time you see this symbol Podcast Logo an audio file is attached to the post.

So here it is blog fans! My first official podcast of the Moby Files! Podcast Logo

I’ve decided to make the podcast a dedicated section so if are an avid podcast listener here is the link you need to subscribe to my podcasts.

*Note – you need a newsreader capable of RSS2 or an mp3 audio player on your pc for this to work*

Fly Away

I finally got around to booking my trip home. I’m headed home to ole Texas for one of my best friend’s birthday in mid July. The sassy one is turning 39 (I think). I missed last years as the ex had just started getting sick. This year, I planned ahead and got the time off so I can swing on down for quick ‘how do’ to the friends and family. The sassy one is headed up to Oklahoma the following weekend so I cut my trip short to accommodate his schedule. (Ok, the real reason is I can extend my Fort Lauderdale trip in November). shhhh!

Yes, I’ll be making a pilgrimage to see what is left of the clan. With the passing of my father, it’s just us siblings. Truthfully, I feel more connected to them than I have in a long time. That has to be way fu*ked up but nobody ever accused me of being normal. Anyway, after the birthday bash, I’m visiting the family to keep up my end of things. Oddly enough, I’m excited about going home. Not because it is Texas but mainly just to get away. I’ve been too cooped up in SF lately and it is time to get out of town. Even if it is just for a long weekend. I was hoping to swing by and visit the Texan, but he seems to have dropped off the face of blogging so that ain’t gonna happen. 🙁 So much for my blogger convention.

I’m on vacation starting Saturday. I was gonna fly home but instead I got a last minute deal on airfare so I’m off to Chicago to visit another friend.

Details as they come in….

Weekend Wanderings III

My weekend is fast coming to an end. After getting in touch w/my inner slut last night, I spent most of the day today getting errands done and goofing off.

As you can tell, I did manage to get some work done on the blog. I think I got most of the bugs out of the template. Now, I just need to remold the old pages. The biggest challenge will be getting the blog folded into the template.

I did manage to snap off a couple of new pics. I manged to catch Mostovic focused on his work.

Ponder Me This...

He came down to the Castro to meet me. Our schedules have been going in opposite directions as of late. It was good to catch up w/him. Even if it was short lived.

And here is Bobby posing under the posies. (not really posies but it sounded good!)

Bobby In The Posies

Again, looking so angelic. I need to get one w/an infrared lens so I can catch his horns showing.

I snagged a new one for the photo log on the right as well. Looking completely nuts as usual.

Template Update

I’m in doing some OT at work today. I’m on the fire side so things are nice and slow and I have a chance to work on the template. I redid the 100 things section. It is still in pieces but here is a preliminary glance of things to come. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get the blog to conform but the rest of the pages will eventually all be under the template.

Me Man, You Woman…oomf oomf!

Thanks to Johnny is a Man for the fantastic link to this post. By far, one of the most eloquent statements I’ve ever read. While a bit on the derogatory side, it summed up a huge chunk of how I feel about internalized homophobia in our community.

(snip)
This Rocco queen is pissing me off. He’s currently trotting out little more than a kernal of experience (along with several dollops of resentment towards the gay community) as evidence supporting the same tired, warmed-over horseshit about how uppity gays who get bashed were really asking for it because they weren’t walking around in a constant state of siege.

(snip)
Basically he’s saying that gays have gotten uppity, let their guard down, and should simply accept the fact that if they behave too much like “fags,” they shouldn’t be surprised when they get bashed. And how reassuring an argument it is that all you need to do to prevent getting bashed is butch it up, and if you can’t or won’t conform to the macho code, tough shit.

Having heard the issue of masculinity beaten to and fro like an old dog it’s refreshing to see a better perspective. More and more we (as gays) are beginning to see beyond the shallow confines of the implied prerequisites of being a “man” in this country.
