Twinkle Twinkle Little Star…

On a happier note, I got my TB (Tuberculosis) test this week. I had to get it done for my certification. Here is my pretty star I got. lol

Pretty!

My doc is gay and his assistant is this incredibly charming and funny English PA. I haven’t been in to see them in about 6 months so it was giggles all around. Not to mention, he hired a very handsome new front desk clerk. Woofie.

Afterwards, I ended up bouncing around downtown looking for sales on clothing. I’m still trying to replace the ruined clothes. I managed to replace a fair share of the stuff that got pinkified (yeah I know it’s not a word). Speaking of laundry, I had to break down and do the deed again. I was so low I was wearing club wear to work. No ruined batches this time thankfully.

Oh, I almost forgot! I have a date. And he’s a blogger! I’ll be stingy and hold onto the details for now. More later, wish me luck?! And… I may have found a roommate. I’ve sorta been hoping to find a roomie come November (my lease is up) to cut back on expenses. So a buddy here may buy a condo soon and he was very excited about the idea of having a roomie. So cross both fingers that it goes better than the last fiasco!

I have more “stuff” to talk about but it’s late and the sleep monster is attacking. Ni’night.

Ego Booster

I’ve noticed as of late that I seem to get more attention from guys. I know some of you are probably saying “duh Moby!” but it wasn’t always the case. I mean take my friend Bobby. He is a very attractive & muscular man. I’d kill to have a body like his. When we hang out, I often notice guys turn their heads to look at him as we walk by. He, of course, thinks they are stalking him but that’s a whole nother story. (Don’t go there Sally!) My point is that I’ve always thought of myself as above average in looks but never attractive. A big part of it stems from childhood, blah blah bah. But lately, I seem to be turning heads on my own. I have to admit it’s a nice feeling. I’m not so grand as to think I’m flawless but it is nice to be noticed.

I haven’t really gained that much muscle since last year. I think I’m actually a tad smaller. (I stopped working out for a few months right after the breakup.) I’ve leaned out a little but not that much. What has changed that I’m getting more attention now? I don’t know but I sure likes it.

I’d like to think I have more confidence but I’ve had that. I guess it’s not important as long as it continues. hehehe.

On a side note, I will admit I’ve put on some muscle since the old days. I used to be very skinny. My chest was like paper stretched over bone. Don’t believe me? Here is a pic to prove it! (GOD, I can’t believe I’m reposting this pic)

Moby B 4

How’s that for scary? I don’t see myself as that person anymore mind you. But compare that pic to my pics now? Big difference huh? (And I don’t mean just the lack of hair.) Anyay, I’ve come a long way since then. I don’t know if I’ll ever be ripped as I like to eat too much. I’m also of the mindset I enjoy the gym but I don’t live for it. And thats ok w/me. I’m comfortable in my skin. I like who I am inside and out. Not many people can say that honestly.

There you have it. Moby’s shallow narcissistic rant for the day. I don’t know about you but I feel better.

Dore Weekend

I can’t believe I didn’t blog about Dore weekend. For those of you not in the know, this weekend was the Dore Alley fair. It’s basically a smaller version of the Folsom St Fair. I worked the booth again for the BCC. One, it kept me out of mischief and two, I get such a rewarding feeling from doing it. Not to mention, it’s a lot of fun. I get to stand around and look pretty. hehehe.

I had planned to take tons of pics but I took the wrong memory card so I only got a few. However, Tim and Norm, the photographers for the calendar, will send me some of theirs. I’ll post more later.

Well, if you like that last pic you’ll love these. Here I am caught off guard w/a clueless look on my face! lol

The re-take looks much better to me. Course, we always judge ourselves different from others. What say you?

Strike A Pose

Is that a pose or what? One of my co-workers snapped off a pic of me. Not the best pic. I don’t like it because it makes my chest look non-existent. Oh well, you can’t say I only post the pretty pics…

Good Cause

Besides my normal volunteer work for the BCC, I just bought the New York Firefighters 2006 Calendar of Heroes. Proceeds from the sales go toward the NY Fire Fighters non profit foundation. The FDNY Fire Safety Education Fund supports the FDNY to serve the public and save lives through fire safety and other joint projects.

Here’s a snapshot of the 2006 cover. HOT HOT HOT!

2006 FF Calendar

If that’s not enough, here is snapshot from the 2005 calendar as well. If that’s not enough to convince I don’t know what is!

Of course, I want you to buy the BCC calendar first. *g* Then you can zip over and buy one from the New York boys as well.

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.

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

Here is Curtis & Mikey taking a moment to strike a pose.

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!

Photo Update

So here are a few photos. I don’t have any of Pride yet. I took my camera and forgot to take pics. I was sorta busy anyway.

The Ferry
Here is the Vallejo/SF ferry. I know, glam right?

Not bad for a moving ferry
Here is a pic of the returning ferry. I’m really impressed w/the camera. This pic was taken w/the my ferry at full speed. No blur at all.

Feed Me Seymour!
Feed Me Seymoure! I’m being attacked by some bush that Bobby has taken a liken too. We drove half way across Vallejo just for this shot. JOY!
