I'm really stunned that they don't!

I'm not sure what mine was, but this reminded me of an amusing incident. My employer's nephew is nearly two now, but several months ago when he was first starting to learn to speak his favourite phrase was, "I know!" So this one time he's riding in the car with his mother (obviously I heard about this second hand) and this guy cuts them off and almost causes an accident. So his mother yells, "What a prick!" and of course the baby responds, "I know!"

I do that too. I mean it's only fair. Yes, the other person may have stepped on my foot, but it takes two to have this sort of 'accident' and I'm sure it wasn't pleasant for him/her either. So I do apologize for such things. In contrast, I can't stand it when people don't acknowledge their role in such an incident. Several years ago I rounded a corner and ran into this young woman. Naturally I smiled apologetically and said, "sorry about that." She only glared at me. That REALLY pissed me off. After I caught sight of her angry expression I just glared back and muttered "bitch." I mean geez it was as much her fault as mine and colliding with her wasn't exactly top of my "fun things to do" list. Similarly, I once witnessed an accident between a cyclist and a pedestrian. Nothing serious. Anyway, the cyclist immediately apologized to the other guy and asked if he was okay. The other guy got angry and growled something to the effect of "F***, you a*****." Instantly I lost all sympathy for the pedestrian and became sort of glad the cyclist had run the jerk over! I mean how rude! I agree with this statement!

Just thought I'd give a little update on this. It looks like he's mostly given up the idea of seeing this guy again. At least for the time being. I suspect it'll continue to be a background thought for him for awhile.

From this thread, I liked these two the best I think. This guy is rather beautiful: Lucas Till

Good luck to all about to take their exams And congrats to those who are done!

Thanks everyone I really appreciate all the support and kind words!

Awww, you're the bestest, Jamie!

For the past several months I've been subconsciously aware of a sort of disparity between my feelings and my professed identity. I mean, I guess the feelings were always there, but I'd gotten into the habit of writing them off as unimportant or irrelevant. That's sort of the best I can do as a means of introduction, and it's still not very accurate. It's not that I only became aware of the feelings a month ago, and it isn't quite that I had written them off either. I always admitted them, both to myself and anyone who cared to ask, but...somehow in the last several months they've become increasingly difficult to marginalize (still not the right word because I still don't really feel like that's what I've been doing). I'm gay, but I'm not homosexual. I'm...well, honestly I'm still largely figuring it out, but given the inherent limitations of the labels I think the best I can do is, "bisexual leaning male." That's right, I've finally said. No more skirting the issue or looking for ways to semantically soften the impact. I could write volumes (which I'm sure no one doubts) about how I define and understand my sexuality and the internal thought processes and attractions of which it consists. Truth be told, I'd rather do that than smack a little label on it and expose myself to all the prejudice and misconceptions. Oh well, screw it: I'M BISEXUAL I'm still working out what it means though... I actually feel kind of isolated and confused about who to turn to. I actually don't feel like this is really the best place. I kinda am expecting most people reading this to shrug it off. I've talked to a few close friends about it...but they're gay and homosexual...and at least one of them is partially biphobic even though I know he doesn't mean to be. It's funny how all of this came about. I subconsciously started becoming more and more interested in bi issues and combating bi-phobia..and gradually I accepted that I had a vested interest. That's actually almost exactly how I came out to myself as gay. On the bright side both experiences mean/meant that I felt comfortable and okay with the new identity I was getting myself mixed up in, but in a lot of ways this is pretty much just as confusing. I suppose there's also the risk that I'll never do anything with it. I mean I don't have to because I'm already living my primary attraction. I dunno, maybe I'll try girls and decide it was just a phase and that it's out of my system now. I kinda doubt it somehow though.

Adorable picture! I think you look great! Your mouth has a really cool, brooding quality in that picture Great pic, Steve!

You're very fortunate to have had so many things X-rayed and yet never had to stay overnight in the hospital! I like that movie quote; what's it from?

LOL, you're welcome, Tim And Gabe, he sooner I start evading them the more time people have to completely forget my age! By the time I'm truly "old" I'm hoping I'll have hidden all evidence of it

Happy Birthday!

Well, as long as it's okay You know, Jamie, I've always thought you were just nifty the way you are and you never have to do anything to prove that to me -Kevin

I shall definitely have to check out these threads. I expected to have a lot to say about them, and I haven't had the time to say it, so I haven't read them yet. In general terms though, I absolutely agree with you about your assessment of laws better left as a relative entity and instead having ethics as the corner stone of an intelligent person's values. Regarding everything else, well I'll have to read the threads. I know you didn't ask for sympathy so I won't give you any. I'll just say I think you're a nifty person and I hope good things happen to you -Kevin

That's fantastic! It looks great I bet you had lots of fun!

I misread that as jazz. I was thinking, "That's true, a lot of gay people do like Jazz." I really like total darkness. So dark in fact that there are no dark shapes and figures. The pitch blackness is the best, where you really can't tell if your eyes are open or not. I love sleeping in such darkness.

She certainly sounds like quite a character!

Happy Birthday, Vancey! May the day bring you all the peace, happiness, and love which you most definitely deserve! -Kevin
