Fess Up

Two big scandals happened today. One, I told someone I barely know a secret about myself.¹ I was actually a little surprised I did. It was rather personal and I’ve only known the person a short while. However, I feel like my trust is well placed. He has a complimentry background to mine so naturally he understood me. It left me with a nice feeling. We met thru my blog and have met in person several times. Yet another affirmation of what blogging can do if you use it to your advantage.

Scandal #2.
I talked to the flight attendant today! I know what you are thinking but no². I’m not going there again. lol We both needed some time after our last interaction to cool down. Anyway, I texted him just to say hi and he called me a few minutes later. We had a very nice heartfelt and blunt conversation.

He is still struggling w/his current relationship but I kept out of that for the most part. He has to come to terms w/it on his own. I’ve had enough time to cool my heels so I felt pretty objective about it. My original opinion remains and I offered it. I also made it clear I would like to remain his friend. For a variety of reasons, I feel like he came into my life for a reason. I’m not sure exactly what yet but I rarely ignore my hunches. I digress. The physical connection between us did come up in the conversation. We both feel it is still too soon for us to hang out again. I will admit hearing him admit to it put a smile on my face. Mainly, it means I can trust my ability to read him. I trust heavily in my ability to read (or not read) a person. After our last interaction, I had doubts. Our chat today confirmed I wasn’t letting my own feelings get in the way.

So I’m sure your asking “what now?“. Well nothing really. He isn’t coming to visit. I’m not expecting anything from him at this point. I’m not really offering anything other than friendship either. I enjoy his conversation and similar mentality so I’m sure we’ll continue to chat. If (and that is a big if) things change w/his current fling, I might reconsider that. However, the future is a devious thing. And lets face it, I’ve never really been one to wait around for something. Patience is sooo not one of my better virtues. heehee

¹ Yes, I still have secrets. I know that is hard to believe.
² Somebody call Jerry Springer!

Weekend Gone

I miss my weekend. I had Friday and then Sunday/Monday off and I was happy to be lazy. I did manage to do the fraking laundry one day. Tell it on the mountain! Actually, I don’t know why I have such a mental block for doing it. I walk a block and half w/my granny cart and laptop in tow, I sit and surf the net while its churning away. I can think of worse ways to spend an afternoon.

Actually, I got quite a few things done. I needed a new travel scanner, a USB memory stick, and some minor tech gadgets. After laughing hysterically thru lunch w/my friend Matthew¹, we were off to shop. He bounced around town w/me. He gets a merit badge for putting up w/my incessant need to have just the right gadget(s) for my needs. Bless him. The rest of Friday was a blur of between being a couch potato and the xbox.

Sunday, I had a date but he stood me up. I promptly blocked him on bear411. Actually, he didn’t stand me up per say. He kept emailing beforehand acting all wishy-washy. Then he had the gall to say “well I don’t know why I’m being so shy about meeting“. WTF does that mean? Translation, I’m either 1) too lazy, 2) I lied about my pics or 3) I got a better offer and just to chicken shit to say it. Whatever. Next!

The rest of the day was pretty lazy. I hung around the house being butch. I fixed two light fixtures, the shower head, and replaced all the internal workings of the toilet.² I also cleaned off my desk. Oh yeah, fun filled, can ya tell?

As you can tell from the flood of pics, I finally got another plug-in working on the blog. Before hand, I joined flickr however, the one feature I joined for isn’t working so I’m already over it.

I was a bit of a pig today. New post coming for that. *hint*

¹ He is a stage hand for a local porn company.
² I’m so butch. Beer, pussy, foootballl. Warroof! (NOT!)

Utter Randomness

Absolutely nothing overtly exciting in this post. Really, I swear. Oh alright, I do have a few half way interesting pics to share. That’s it!

Seems like a case of the nasties is going around the intarweb lately. From brettcajun’s regular hater list, Jimbo’s recent brush w/the a snooty-patooty, and homer getting a snotty email from a frigid hag over a minor posting error, my weekly list of not-so-fond admirers seems dull in comparison. Yes, I get hate mail. I often ignore them as I don’t have time for other people’s issues. Hell, I barely have time for mine. The last said commenter went thru the effort to register as a user and then complained about my explicit posts. Ignoramus, I told you not to register if you didn’t wanna hear about such things. Most often, I think folks are operating under the incorrect assumption I give a shit what they think of my life. No thanks, I’m all stocked up on bullshit here. That, or they feel compelled to project their own issues onto my choices. See afore mentioned comment. Moving right along….

Here it is folks, a real life Mobius Dorkus captured in its native habitat. Be careful, I hear they can be quite ferocious.

Mobius Dorkus

The weekend was uneventful. The roomie’s bf is in town for a filming gig. He kept showing off his new iphone which I am summarily unimpressed with. Ok, ok, I’ll give props to the very slick interface however, it does very little besides look flashy. Here is a pic we snapped on our way to see the Harry Potter flick.

Aren’t they disgustingly adorable?

And, as if to add insult to injury, here is Ty and I wearing our very uber-sheik 3D glasses. (We saw it on IMAX and the last 20 minutes was in 3-D)

I feel so Meryl Streep in this pic.

Now for some classic heart-warming family oriented pics. Oh yes! What would my blog be w/o some wholesome entertainment? Did I succeed or should I fire the censors?

Which way to the gold mine?

219

This is the code we use at work for a stabbing victim; which is what I felt like the other day when I went down to Magnet for a routine STD test.¹ I get signed in and go to the back to face the obligatory interrogation as to why I’m there. No worries, as I know all to well the burden placed on the City’s healthcare system. We make it thru the throat swab and the “bend and spread’em” swab problem free. I mean how hard is it to fuck up a swab test? Then comes the very minor, one would think, routine blood draw to test for the ugly-headed monster called syphilis. Forgetting for a moment, both of my arms are very vascular,² the phlebotomist managed to stab completely thru a large vein. Naturally, I end up with a large hematoma afterwards. (Simply put, blood collecting under the skin) If you’ve never had one, the blood quickly dissipates however, it tends to be very unsightly and causes pain days later from the surrounding muscle tissue being irritated. So now, I look like Farrah Faucet in the ‘Burning Bed’ after she’d been thoroughly beaten by her husband. Lord, I know they don’t get paid a lot to do that job but, asking for a minute amount of competence is not pushing it in my opinion. And the real kicker was this was not the first time! It also happened on my previous pilgrimage. I wrote a stinging letter to the City Health Director as well as the Clinic Director. I guarantee you next time I go back it won’t happen again.

I called off work today. For a variety of reasons, I was not in my “happy place” and work would have been a disaster had I gone in. I did finally use the down time to get the laundry done. I don’t honestly know why I have such a mental block when it comes to laundry. I wonder if it stems from my childhood. I know, you are probably going “childhood? WTF?” Well, once when I was about 3 or 4 years old my father locked me in the dryer and turned it on for about a minute. You see, I used to climb in our dryer and hide. I had been warned countless times not to do it so I guess he thought he’d teach me a lesson. It worked too. I never ever played in the dryer again after that. No, I don’t seriously think it’s related but it is an odd coincidence don’t ya think?

In other news, my friend Matthew, who just moved to SF, got a temp. job working for a porn company. No, not as an actor or a fluffer, he is a grunt. In regular movie terms, he’d be a grip. He is all excited and couldn’t stop talking about it today over lunch. The most pressing issue on his mind was what to wear. Bless his heart. I’m sure it sounds exciting but when you actually do it, it isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Well, from my point of view anyway. However, I am rather jaded as I live with a porn star who I have known practically all of my adult life. And lets face it, you can’t shake a stick w/o bumping into a rising star here. (pun intended) He is getting paid a fair share for his efforts so there is a positive aspect to it. And moving from Oklahoma City to SF, I can certainly understand his excitement.

¹ No, I don’t have a nasty drip just past due for my routine test.

Weekend In Review III

I’m happy to report the weekend went much better than the very stressful week. I still didn’t get the damn laundry done.¹ Ugh! The bane of my domestic life.

Friday was pretty low key. I napped, played xbox, hit the gym, napped, and ate. Pretty much in that order too. Adam was in town this past week. He’d gotten his release papers from Nowhere-ville, Cali and was itchin’ for some fun. It was decided the Powerhouse would be a nice romp. Turns out it was jockstrap night or some shit. Why is it the folks naked are never the ones you wanna see naked? Kalvin looked pretty good in his though. He just needed some sunshine.² The bar made some attempt at having “go-go dancers” if they could be called that. Naturally, the only hot one I already knew.

Anyway, I can’t say enough good things about the sexy slab of beef, Adam. We originally met at the blogger shindig a few weeks back. This weekend, we really forged a good friendship. Turns out, he is just as incorrigible as I am. My only regret is his sexy little bear boyfriend wasn’t with him.

Saturday, we had a nice work out together. We did shoulders. I must admit I was a little apprehensive. He has a very well developed upper body. I held my own though and we had a good workout. Afterwards, Calvin & JR joined us for some Sushi in the hood. I’m always thrilled when I find new sushi buddies. Adam and I then headed off to an Xbox gamer gathering. He gets a gold star for putting up with the worst party I think I’ve ever been to. I finally had enough and we bailed to go see the new Harry Potter flick. I enjoyed it much more than the last. Harry finally starts growing up a bit and taking charge vs being at the whim of whatever happens his way. Later, we were all a bit tired and ended up hanging out at Calvin & JR’s socializing. Adam and I were as well behaved³ as could be expected. heheee

This morning, the group invited me to go have Dim Sum with’em. I’m a little embarrassed to say I’d never done Dim Sum before. It was fun. We sampled practically everything on the menu. Well, except the chicken feet. I may have grown up in a trailer but even I have my limits.

That’s pretty much it. I had to head off to work after that. I won’t bore you with those details.

¹ I have enough underwear to go a whole month.
² For the record, so do I.
³ That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! *eg*

Blabber Mouth

Ok, so many things to go on and on about today. You might wanna grab a sandwich this is gonna be a long entry.

The Flight Attendant:
First things first, the flight attendant called me this morning. Talk about put a smile on my face. hehehe I’m not really sure where this is headed. I’ve already mentioned, I’d be up for dating him. I guess I’d forgotten he was already dating someone¹ however, from the conversation today, I’m wondering if now maybe something better is on the horizon. (meaning me, of course.) He has been very honest up front about that. I admire him for it too. That said, they haven’t reached a point of being exclusive yet so I don’t feel the least bit guilty. So without spilling all his beans, he seems willing to explore meeting again and maybe seeing what develops. Is that ambiguous enough for ya? lol Ok, I know that is a bit of a tease however, I don’t want to over think it and make it more than it is. If something develops, I find myself very keen on the idea. If not, the memories were hot! And boy were they. Ok, I’m dangling again, sorry. Moving on…

Visiting Tuscon:
With the extra cash coming in from all the fraking overtime I had to work this past week, I decided to make an impromptu trip to Tuscon next month. I’ve been bugging people to come up and see me for so long I figured it was time to return the favor. Not one but two of my blog buddies, homer and Urswine Addiction, live there and what better way to spend an extended weekend.² I didn’t realize how well they knew each other and was a tad worried at first. Both have offered a place for me to crash on many occasion, so who to choose? Being completely selfish, I picked Urswine simply because they have AC. (Don’t hate me Homie. *g*) While I might have grown up in the South, I’ve gotten very used to the cool nights here in SF. If I had to sleep in the heat, I think I’d promptly shrivel up and die! I was a tad worried about slighted feelings but after a quick call to homer, turns out they are good friends, drama averted. I’m totally excited now. I’ve never actually been to Tuscon so it promises to be a fun trip. I would say think “Bears Gone Wild” but I still haven’t quite reconciled myself into that category. I’m just me. Pig is more like it.

Life: Normal

A big thank you to all the kind words of encouragement and support regarding my dealings w/Continental AND with their handsome attendant. I didn’t even mind the walk of shame from the hotel the following morning.¹

Gay High Holy day #1 has come and gone. The city has pretty much returned to normal.² I am also home from my vacation and my week of antics. It was a busy damn week and I am glad to be back. From hosting the incorrigible brettcajun and my buds from Tuscon to flying home to see the clan, this blogger is tired. I’m slowly catching up on my blogroll as well.

Work today is almost a relief. (Almost) I didn’t really wanna come in today though. It is so nice and sunny out, I just wanted to go layout at the park. My friend Matthew dragged me out to the beach yesterday so I guess I can’t complain too much.

I posted more of the pics from the blogger summit. I still have twice as many to edit and load. I’ll get to it eventually. I’m feeling sooo unmotivated right now. Oh, and I’ll be posting a private post later this week as well. No, it is not about Steve but it is juicy. hehehe

Duty calls…

¹ He had to fly out early not me. I stayed in bed after he left.
² As normal as SF ever gets. hehehe

Weekend Update

The weekend was uneventful. I had a friend in town from LA. He had a two part visit. One, get some of his things from his old place here and two, for me to cheer him up. He is going thru some rough times right now. We succeeded on both parts. By the time he left, he was laughing and more like his old self again. Here he is being coy on my sofa.

Ain’t he cute? lol

The rest of the weekend went pretty smooth. The landlord came by to fix some misc. problems we’ve been having with the apartment. Oh, the roomie and I also went to see the new Spidey 3 flick on IMAX. It was pretty good and worth a see on the big screen. However, for the most expensive movie ever made, it didn’t leave me wet.

I do have to admit a sin here. I had Taco Bell over the weekend. In my defense, only once in the last two weeks and I had the soft tacos, fresca style (read less fat). I feeling so Jimmy Swaggart right now. [Insert tear-stained face here] Can you ever forgive me?

What else? As if you really wanted to know, I went back down to a 14gauge on the nipple ring. I didn’t like the way the larger version distorted my nipple. My nipples are on the small side and I don’t it to be disfigured if and when I ever decide to remove it.

Today is my Monday and work is well, work.

Ooops

roblog called me today for some technical advice. His blog disappeared and was troubleshooting it. I had a few tricks up my sleeve but he’d thought of most of them already. It seems all his links and filed were intact however, his index pages were corrupt or gone. Turns out he was just out of server space.

He’d expressed displeasure with his current host and this was the final straw. He made the jump wordpress. If you’ve never seen his blog, hop over and check him out. Give him a big shout and and welcome to the wordpress clan.

Picture This

I go back and forth on pictures for the blog. I hate feeling like I have to take pics. At the same time, I enjoy seeing pics on other blogs so I make an effort to return the favor. The camera is almost always with me in my laptop bag so no real reason not too.

Today, I was having lunch with the roomie and a mutual friend of ours and decided to snap off a picture. We were laughing about the paparazzi chasing them. Personally, I think they both could use some Liz Claiborne products as they look a mess. *g*

You be the judge…

It is also my Monday. Blech. I’m at work. It rained on both of my days off but of course, it is bright and sunny today. Fraking weather. I think my inner adult is on vacation as I didn’t do anything over the weekend. Lazy, lazy, lazy. No chores, nothin’. Oh well, why do today what you can put off until tomorrow.
