So today has been totally awesome! I slept really late, caught up with some really fantastic people online ( 's to you guys ), finally got to talk to my friend Claire about her most recent break-up (I was really worried about her from her messages and stuff, but we kept missing each other's calls) and I think she's going to be okay.
Then I caught up on ALOT of household chores, and I'm almost completely done, and I'm just SO much more relaxed and happy when everything's really tidy and cl
Hi all,
I've recently been corresponding with a new friend online and his questions/comments inspired the following passages from me. I decided I'd might as well share them here:
This one's poorly written, but the nature of the message was quick and casual, and I'm not going to edit it, because for some reason I instead feel that it's better to present it unaltered.

There was a companion "Sexual Fantasy", but I'm not going to post it here since 1) it's pretty gra
So my hair has been alot of different colours in the past few years. In fact it's been practically every semi-natural (and a few unnatural ) colours. However, it's most typically been some shade of red or blonde. Well it was blonde till last week, quite an understated blonde at that. Well I thought, "why not liven it up?". Of course I can no longer do really wacky colours with the job I have, so naturally I went with red. Red with blonde hi-lites actually, and when I fix it up properly it
You know that song, "Jane Says", by Jane's Addiction? It goes like this:
"Jane Says"
Jane says I'm done with Sergio He treats me like a ragdoll She hides The television Says I don't owe him nothing, But if he comes back again Tell him to wait right here for me Or just Try again tomorrow I'm gonna kick tomorrow Gonna kick tomorrow Jane says Have you seen my wig around? I feel naked without it She knows They all want her to go But that's O.K. man She dont like th
WOW
That about sums up my thoughts about the conversation I had this afternoon with a friend of mine.
So basically I stayed very close with two of my friends from high school. One of course is my girl Claire, the other we'll call Sandra (not her real name but I feel as though I ought to carefully protect her anonymity). Anyway, Sandra and I went to the same university and kept in touch throughout college (and since we've graduated). Now obviously I was already out to Claire (she was t
So I did really well on moving day. I didn't cry once all day, and we were just about finished. In fact I was literally trying to tape up the last box. Then it just sort of hit me that this was the last box, then the stupid tape got stuck to the roll, and it was the final straw, and I just started crying. All in all the day wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be though, and we made plans to see each other for Christmas and next summer.
I've also been spending time with other friends and I t
I've been crying alot...still am actually. I knew it would hurt, but I didn't know it would hurt this much. It's my own fault actually, I think for awhile I didn't believe it was really going to happen. I guess I thought something would come up and they'd stay. But they're not staying.
About ten months ago, I was in a precarious place in my life. I was unsuccessful and miserable at the job I had been doing and had finally quit. I was hundreds of miles from any family or old friends, I'
So this is a thread that's going on in the "Games and Humor" section of The Lounge, right now, but I had so much fun with it I thought I'd post it here too!

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button

I've been a royal jerk to pretty much everyone the last few weeks. I pretty much realized I'd gone completely over the edge today when I was at work and one of my co-workers was helping me with some paperwork. I'd made a mistake on one of the forms and she was explaining what I'd done wrong and what I needed to do to fix it (which wasn't pleasant, and was a lot of work). Anyway I guess I was starring at her like I didn't understand or something because she
So I had a bit of time today between appointments and I remembered that I was running low on toothpaste and deodorant. So I figured I'd pop into the nearest drugstore - a Walgreens - and pick some up. Well I had no trouble finding the toothpaste I was after (Crest Vivid White in the "invigorating mint" flavour ). The deodorant on the other hand proved to be much more difficult! I'd literally walked down every aisle and STILL hadn't found it. The very last aisle that I checked, the aisle wh
So today completely rocked! My luck almost seems to have shifted back to the rediculously positive position that it formerly inhabited.
Most recently life hasn't been treating me too gently. Don't get me wrong I've still overall been quite happy, and really if anything in many ways my life's been steadily getting even more pleasant. However, for the last six weeks or so it's literally seemed like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. I know a lot of people don't really believe
**Warning spoilers for the move "Evening" ahead.
So there's so many thing I'd like to write about that have happened to me since my last entry. Unfortunately as is often the case I feel less inclined to write about actual narrative events and more eager to write about feelings, situations, and philosophical ponderings.
I went to see the movie Evening tonight. It was AWESOME! Just the kind of movie a like - a nice, long, weapy chick flick
Anyway basically the movie is about thi
So I did get that new job selling life insurance. I've also quit my other job, and for the next couple of weeks at least (and quite possibly for the forseeable future) my schedule will be extremely hectic and I probably won't be around for more than a half hour (maybe 45 min) a day (possibly in the morning before 8, or more likely in the evening after 11). Eventually I will have some semi-regular time off, but it likely won't be for the first week or so, and even after that there's every chanc
Don't try to make sense of this blog in the order in which it appears. Each paragraph is pretty much random and self-contained.
I got that new job. *sigh* It's insurance again, this time life. At least I'll be able to jump in more quickly this time since I still have my active license from last time. I start training Monday, the following Monday I'm supposed to go with someone out on the field, then the Monday after that I'll be on my own. I'm not completely sure how I feel about it. I
So for anyone who might be wondering how my move went, and more specifically what I've been up to for the past three weeks. Here's the deal:
Thursday, May 3rd: My move in date is set for Friday May 11th. However, I find out that it's a friend's graduation on that day so I call the new apartment complex to see if I can move in on the 10th instead. "Fine", they say. I set up my utilities to be turned in at the new place on the 9th.
Saturday, May 5th: I call to confirm the move in date.
So I saw this in Viv's and Steven's blog and thought it looked like fun SO:
TEN EMOTIONS.
1. are you missing someone right now?: no
2. are you happy? Yes, very
3. are you talking to anyone right now?: No, I don't try to talk and write (even blog entries) at the same time.
4. are you bored?: Virtually never.
5. are you German?: Yes, more than anything actually
6 are you Irish?: Probably a little bit, and people always think I am since I'm fair complected and often red-headed
7. are y
Hi all,
I thought quite a bit about what I wanted to do for my 100th entry, since, though rationally it's only an artificial milestone and not any more significant than any other blog entry, it's still ostensibly special. Anyway, my thoughts ranged from creating a sort of "blog quiz" that would be taken from the previous 99 entries (decided that would be way too much work for me, and few people would feel inclined to sit there and take the thing anyway) to making it into a silly story (coul
I had a fun day off yesterday. I went to the gym with a friend then we had lunch and went shopping. Anyway after the shopping we were heading back to my truck when all of a sudden I realize I don't have my keys. So I turn to her and say "I don't have my keys". After freaking out with me a bit, she checks her pockets and exclaims, "I don't have mine either!".
SO after thinking a bit she decides she must have left hers at the gym, and I conclude that mine are locked in the truck. No wor
So my cousin called this evening while I was at work and left a voice mail. Turns out she's going to be in Houston on April 5th because her bestfriend's parents recently moved here and so she's riding with her to go and visit them. Anyway naturally she wants to meet up.
Now my cousin and I were really close as kids. We were sorta like brother and sister (but were both only children). Anyway we've seen less and less of each other as we've gotten older, and particularly in the last four
Today was a pretty good day I suppose. I finally got all my tax troubles sorted out. See it all started over a week ago when I casually decided I'd drop by H&R Block on my way home from something and get my taxes done. I figured it'd be like an hour, standard fee, and I'm good to go...Well...NO! It took two hours and the fee the guy quoted me was outragiously high! We were in fact both in agreement that the fee was inordinately high so he told me to come back tomorrow and in the meantim
The purpose of this entry is to poke fun at the highly superficial behaviour, and fleeting attractions, which often characterizes those who frequent gay dance clubs, while also serving the duel purpose of being a stylistic exercise in writing. The events depicted in this blog entry did indeed occur, but are likely exaggerated as a result of the tenuous position memory holds against fantasy.
They were playing yet another techno version of some forgettable pop-hit as I stepped onto the dancef

The opinions expressed here are only my own and all comments, concurrent or dissenting, are not only welcomed, but eagerly encouraged.

In my opinion one of the most significant hindrances to the advancement of gay rights is the inability for all of u
So I suppose it seems like I hardly ever think about this blog anymore considering that I only update it once or twice a month . Actually, I always want to update it and have like 10 different entries I want to write, but I never seem to find the time :wacko:
Anyway, I thought about all the potential things I wanted to write about and decided that in terms of simple information this was the way to go (although you should probably skip it if you don't feel like reading a fairly shallow,
But there's really no one home.
My attention span and short-term memory seem to be getting progressively worse with each passing day. I'm lucky to finish sentences nevermind multi-step tasks. It was always something I just sorta blew off before. "Oh I'm just absent-minded", "it's just another quirky aspect of my personality"...but it's getting worse, and it's starting to actually bother me.
I lost money again at work today...it's about the 5th time (that I know of) that it's happ
So this isn't what I wanted to write about. I've been wanting to write a blog entry about an article I read recently in Entertainment Weekly, but this is something I have to decide sooner (well the other one isn't a decision at all ) so I'm doing this one instead.
Anyway, here's the situation. I have to move out of my apartment in May because they're tearing it down to rebuild luxury high-rise condominiums. They've pretty much already done that with all the other houses and buildings in
