After reading what really happened, this kid is now an even bigger toolbag then when he first announced that he going to publicly "lose his virginity".

Enjoy. Good to know too that you may finally be getting out of Mississippi.

Damn you Mark, you beat me to it.

"Little did they know of the pedophiles who lurked behind the screen." LMAO. I remember getting those free trial AOL discs in the mail all the time back in the late 90s, early 2000s.

What? If that was true, half of my high school class would still be at the maturity level of 15-16 year olds. Our valedictorian, who went to Princeton and just took a job with Apple, used to toke up quite frequently back in high school. Hell, the majority of the kids I took AP classes with were the biggest smokers and drinkers in the school. I've seen enough anecdotal evidence to know your claim is totally false. Don't buy into the government and religious propaganda against marijuana. I personally think smoking it is stupid and a waste of money, but that is no reason to legally ban it. Its a waste of police resources anyway. *cries silently for the soapbox*

If they were trolling that would literally being the funniest troll I've ever witnessed.

I feel like being a twink is something that only pays off for a few years, then seriously comes back to bite you in the ass once you get past 25 or so. I mean, where else can you go from twink? I guess you could maybe become a twunk, but how often do we see that. Usually they just end up being bitchy, bitter fem queens.

You mean the kind that are way too old to still be twinks, but still hit the clubs every Friday and Saturday night thinking they are still the hot shit they were at 19 and 20? I see far too many of those at bars and clubs.

That was the first thing I thought of when I looked through the 'likes'.

Sweet jesus, I felt like I was watching a horror short-film with that thing.

Its funny. In my job working with kids primarily 10 and younger, I'd say about 90% of the boys have the names on the youngest by average list, and probably about 75% of the girls. Of course those are the white kids. The black kids I work with have a whole range of names that were totally foreign to me when I first started, and they rarely ever have the same name, especially the boys. White people tend to be more conservative in child naming, while blacks tend to be more creative. Although I have heard that the "innovative" naming style is going out of fashion, especially with middle and professional class blacks.

We often expect old people to be stuffy when it comes to humor, but today that stereotype was thrown out the window. Now that I've graduated, my school has cut off my gym privileges so I've had to start going to a local gym around the corner. I go in the middle of the day, so its basically only old people and college kids there at that time. It was 95 degrees today and so humid you could feel the water in the air. It was miserable. Anyway, after I got done my workout I went into the locker room to grab my stuff, and there were two old guys (probably around 65-70) sitting on the bench by my locker. They were naked, of course, as nobody over the age of 50 seems to ever wear any clothes in a locker room. I think they do it on purpose to make all the younger people uncomfortable by letting them know whats going to happen to their in-shape bodies eventually. Anyway, back on track. So the two guy's conversation went something like this. Old Guy #1: "It sure is hot out today. I gotta go put my air conditioning in." Old Guy #2: "Sure is. It's hotter then Satan's asshole and stickier than a hooker's vagina out there today." Old Guy #1: *with a straight face* "Sure is." End of conversation. I was honestly questioning if I had heard that right. I looked over at the kid at the locker next to me (probably around 17-18) and he had the same look of "did he say what I think he said". When we both realized we had heard that right we burst into uncontrollable laughter for a good 20 seconds. The two old guys probably looked at us like we were crazy. The best part was that the guy who said it said it with a straight, serious face and the other guy hardly even reacted to it like it was completely ordinary. Anyway, it made my day hearing that.

Dear god, those baggy cargo pants are hideous. It's not like I owned a pair or two myself back in the day or anything.....

You think New York's subways are bad? You have obviously never been on Philadelphia's subway. It makes New York look pristine in many areas. And Manhattan may be somewhat old, but its what gives it charm and character. There is nothing more impressive in any city in world then Midtown Manhattan. There are many new buildings in Manhattan and ones being built right now. One thing I don't like about the new-age cities (Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix) is that that they are so stale, generic, and sprawly. They lack a lot of what makes a city a city.

I never really understood the whole "scare you to try to get you to not do it." To me, that commercial seemed so dark that it was more comical then anything else because it seemed like it was trying too hard. Maybe it's because AIDS has sort of slipped by as an afterthought for my generation that it doesn't strike me like it may strike someone my parent's age. Just a thought....

It reminds me of Lego pieces.

Ain't that the truth. My legs are huge, especially my thighs. I once tried on a pair of skinny jeans (a couple sizes bigger then what I wear for regular jeans) and practically busted the seams of the denim. I'll stick to slim-straight fit for now on. Guys with smaller legs, count yourself lucky because you fit into any kind of pant so much easier then those who don't, lol.

So I graduated. It was the first time that a graduation actually felt like an accomplishment of sorts. Graduating high school wasn't really an accomplishment because if you IQ was above the single digits you would have to work to NOT graduate. They basically spoon feed you through, which IMO does a disservice to those going to college. But thats a different topic. But yeah, I was actually really proud of myself for finishing on time because college was a lot of work, especially the last two years. My parents, best friend, and boyfriend all came down and it was fun. So what am I doing now. Well, being in a relationship kind of complicated plans after I graduated, but not in a detrimental way so to speak. My boyfriend is putting off med school for 2 years so he can build his resume so he can be a competitive applicant for a top-tier medical school. He's already a strong candidate from a top-tier college, but he felt taking two years to work and gain experience would be beneficial. We narrowed our choice list of cities to basically Boston, New York, Philadelphia, DC, and San Diego. I could basically move wherever and find a temporary job until I figured out what I wanted to do. He ended up getting two very good job offers in New York and Philadelphia. New York has always been my dream city, and the prospect of getting to live there was very enticing. The job even had the possibility of subsidized housing, which when living in New York can be huge since rent prices are insanely high. But the job and apartment were in a upper Bronx neighborhood, far from Manhattan or anything exciting, and it would still be expensive to live there. We crunched the numbers and it just didn't add up to anything more then living with zero disposable income. So the next option that we considered was San Diego. The thought of living in California, trying something radically new, living in great year-round weather near the beach was enticing. We never envisioned ourselves living there permanently, but it was an enticing option to try something different. It was a crazy idea to move clear across the country with no jobs in a pricey city knowing nobody. Dream crushed. Cross that off the list. So what did that leave us with? Philadelphia. I love this city, and I have come to view it as my adopted home. It may not be as glitzy and famous as New York, or as pristine as San Diego, but its a thriving city of 1.5M people of all sorts with everything you could want in an urban experience. So we settled on Philly, where my boyfriend already had a job offer as a Research Assistant at one of the top hospitals in the country, and my job potential was greater as well. We signed a lease for a 800 square foot apartment (huge by city standards) in a very desirable neighborhood, a block from the subway (yay to a car-free life!), very near Center City, and the area has a thriving ethnic restaurant scene in it's own right. All for half the price of what it would have cost us to live in a dumpy studio in the ghetto in New York or San Diego. I'm still not quite sure what I want to do yet. I'm going through the hiring process for one potential job, but I'm not quite sure I will want it if I do get offered. Then again, its good paying and offers stability, and its a job. Plus it would be really nice not to have to rely on the Bank of Mom & Dad to pay my bills for me. But I've also over the past five or so months come to question my potential career choice that I was so solidly for the first 3.5 years of college. I've come to realize that there are other jobs that I would be happier in and I would be better suited for. Plus I always have to think about the gay thing. But who knows, we shall see what the future brings. I'm moving July 1st and it can't come soon enough.

So you aren't dead.

Wouldn't touch that Ken-thing with a ten foot pole...and I'm into the whole twink look....

You think way too much for a 26 year old. To be honest I think thats part of your problem, based off what I've read in your posts over the years. Just go out and have fun for awhile without thinking about anything important.

I'm still waiting for my long lost billionaire uncle to die....

Good thing I'm not a twink. I'm gonna be a stud-muffin forever. I'll just go from a young stud to a daddy stud! In all seriousness though, I hope that by the time my looks start to fade I'm still not one of those guys who goes to clubs every weekend and pervs on the barely legal guys. Its really quite pathetic to see the amount of old trolls that just sit in the corner of a packed club or bar and just creepily stare as you walk by. Nightlife is lots of fun now, but I have a feeling that once you get older it loses a lot of the appeal it had as a younger guy. So yeah, I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts, and remember it fondly when it finally does end. I really do welcome advice from older people as they have a lot of wisdom and experience that I, as a 22 year old, don't. But when it comes off as condescending and authoritative like it did from that guy I quoted, I tend to just give the finger and walk away.

Please oh wise sir, impart some of your glorious wisdom on my foolish young self. ....
