The thing about astrology is that it's so vague and general that it's easily applied to just about everybody. That wasn't by accident, it was purposely done that way to rope people in and con them. Most of the guys I've dated or had flings with were what my supposed sign said I should be with. And yet, I didn't end up with them.

I absolutely hate them. I walk past them through Central Park every day on my way to work, and they absolutely tower over everything. It's not that they're so big, but the fact that just look absolutely awful from an aesthetic point of view. And the worst part is that almost all of the 8-9 figure units in the buildings are nothing but trophy investment properties that will rarely, if ever, be lived in. I guess I simply prefer things in smaller packages.

I actually don't think it's bad looking, and it is definitely unique. Hell, it looks a heck of a lot better than the super-tall condos they're building here in New York with no architectural quality and selling penthouses for upwards of a $100M.

Reminds me of the dildo tower in London.

Naughty Boy - Runnin' (Lose It All) ft. Beyoncé (DJ Aron Remix) The first time I heard this song was at a party in Shanghai in 2017. When they hit the 'Runnin', Runnin, 'Runnin, Runnin' line the DJ would pause the track and a thousand shirtless Chinese boys dancing below would belt out the chorus. It was awesome.

I'm currently watching Tyrant. The first season was really good, but the second season was kinda 'meh'. Hopefully Season 3 goes back to the style that made Season 1 great. My guilty pleasures are Below Deck and 90 Day Fiance. My boyfriend and I will binge watch those shows for hours.

When I first joined, I was an avid Tetris player (hence the 'Tet' part). As I was signing up, I had just read an article about an oil refinery, hence the 'Refine' part. It was basically just random.

I was browsing YouTube the other day and came across some amazing footage of the 1982 Castro Street Fair. It's almost an hour of footage, just showing the beauty, freedom, and sex of urban gay life at the time. For some reason I was just enthralled watching this little video time capsule. But...the year was 1982, HIV was just beginning to be identified, but people didn't really understand what it was. The highly sexual atmosphere of San Francisco at the time was the perfect breeding ground for the virus to sow death onto so many. The Castro Street Fair (now known as the Folsom Street Fair

I remember the first time I heard this song, somewhere around 3am at Avant Gardner. You could feel the whole vibe turn so loving when this song blasted on.

I remember after the first time I flew as a kid, I became absolutely obsessed with planes, airports, and transportation in general (and it's still one of my main interests to this day). My dad took me to get Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, bought me a joystick, and I flew endless hours all over the world. I updated in 2004, and got X in 2006. Eventually I stopped playing, and just assumed the franchise was dead. I had no idea there was a new one coming out! Unfortunately I don't have anything compatible to play it on, so I'll just go to YouTube and watch some videos posted there.

I know, lol. Sometimes even I'm surprised when I realize how much has changed. And no, he's no-one from here. I met him actually at a circuit party one weekend while I was up in New York. It started out as a summer fling (among several others), but he was totally different. Tomorrow it'll be two years since we met, and we're now in the process of buying an apartment together.

In my college years and early-mid 20s, it was very much about raw, physical attraction. I was exploring all this newfound freedom I had as a young gay guy in the big city. I had boyfriends too, but looking back I was much more interested in Mr. Right Now and whatever I wanted at that moment. I was a creature of the clubs and bars, and that lifestyle fed into the spur of the moment attitude toward my sexuality that I had. There was also a bit of an ego healing that went with it. I grew up internalizing all sorts of homophobia and hatred for what I was, and suddenly I could gain all this attenti

It almost depresses me to look back on my response a year ago and compare it to this year. Before this all happened, we had planned to go to LA for Labor Day weekend to attend Masterbeat. We had a house for the week of Pines Party in Fire Island, but both got cancelled. We figured (back in March) that by September this would all be over and it would be a good time to travel. We planned on going to San Francisco for Folsom, but that too got cancelled. At this point, since we can both work from home, we'll probably keep staying for a good chunk of the summer up here in the country where the

This was the first story I ever read on Gay Authors, waaaay back in 2009. It still remains my all-time GA favorite.
