Happy Birthday!!

Aww.. I like remembering my youth, I miss the 90s, it was a good time to grow up, I think. lol. Although, I do hate AOL, I never hid in the clothing racks. I didn't watch a lot of Television, least of all Nickelodeon, Boy Meets World, and I believe All That. I never was a game show fan either. I had most of the toys. I hate sugary chewing gum so I never had the powder gum or the Skittles gum, can't remember that skittles ever had gum. I remember collecting a lot of those Spoons from the cereal boxes and I won the balance bird at a carnival.. lol, it amazed me for like five minutes. I think I still have it in my "memories" box that is in the bottom of my closet. HI-C and the Berry Sprite are the only drinks I tried from all of those. I hate Oreos, so I never had the cereal. I hate Doritos, so I never tried the 3D, they look disgusting. I had the Witch Halloween bucket! And I remember that sad part from Dumbo, but overall the movie sucked... but I hated that he was separated from his Mommy.. I was addicted to Land Before Time though. Sophie was scared when I showed it to her the first few times, but now she likes it. Those rubber poppy things were big in school when I was little, I believe the teachers had to take one from someone at least once or twice a week. Overall I do miss my childhood.. Some of that junk seems really silly now.. and I wondered how it ever took hold, but I'm not really sad that some of it is long gone. Some things I do think needed to be on there though: Those ugly Friendship bracelets that looked like funky shoe strings tied in a knot around the wrist. Those Pop Rock candies, I believe they were taken off the market because of a choking hazard though, but they were big at the time.

The only reason I watch pro-football is Aaron "Bedroom eyes" Rogers. Now on to College: #1 Kansas State - Lost to Baylor *Unranked* #2 Oregon - Lost to 13* Ranked Stanford I believe the loss takes Kansas State out of the BCS Championship game since they no longer have a Big 12 Championship game. It knocks Oregon out of the running to play for the PAC 12 Championship and possible the Rose Bowl if Stanford beats UCLA next week. So I believe neither team will be in the running for the BCS Championship game. In the SEC, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida all improve to 10 - 1 and since the SEC has a championship game, I believe the winner out of the SEC will be jumped to No. 2 and will likely play Notre Dame (IF Notre Dame doesn't lose to Southern California, their last game). All of this makes me wish for a Play Off game. I hate one loss.. close or a blow out determines whether one team is picked over the other. There is no doubt though that the SEC is the best Football Conference in the nation though.

I found out there was a lockout like.. last week.. lol. There has absolutely been no coverage over it. There's not a pro team in Kentucky, and I've never really liked the sport, but I hate that true Hockey fans are missing out... I'd likely like the sport better than the NBA...

Happy Birthday Nephy! Have a great one!

We'd all like to be romantics.. right? But it doesn't happen... There could be an extreme attraction.. something there. Something you wish to grow on. But Love at first sight, just doesn't happen. Love takes time and it isn't spontaneous. Attraction may not even be the starting point. People can fall in love with people they aren't initially attracted to as well. Love though just happens with time and love needs to be a mutual feeling for it to be real. So it takes two people for love... otherwise it's just a crush/infatuation.

Happppy Birthday Bee Bitch.

Happy Birthday Pipsqueak!

At least a NL team won. Too bad it was the team that put Cincy out.

Let's goooo National League..

I always say I'm going to do it.. but I never do.. lol. My lack of motivation to really buckle down and do some writing would suffer through the entire month of November... and it would likely take months for me to write another word afterwards... So for once, I'm going to say that I'm not going to do it.. and we'll see how that goes.

Not that I'm interested after my beloved Reds got ran out of their home field by the Giants.... what is the outcome of the Giants/Cards series? I honestly haven't watched any baseball since the reds hit the shitter... I don't know who I want to win.. I despise the Giants this year... but I'll probably always despise the Cardinals... So Goooo Giants.. (My present to you Cardinal fans.. the Giants are doomed now)..

Some of it is likely true homophobia, but there is still a good possibility that the locker room banter could just be for shits and giggles. Still it likely doesn't make gay people feel comfortable in the locker room hearing all of the negativity. Some of them probably would be blatantly against a gay teammate and would still say those things, but there has to be a flip-side to that as well. Some of them would likely stop saying it.. or at least make it known that it is for laughs and the like.

I remember staying up all night reading a Dom story... then had to drag my ass to school (high school). I would have totally skipped, but it was during basketball season and if you didn't go to school you were benched.. lol.. I was deeeaaaddd tired though.

I don't think the question was... sexually. People of any sexuality can look at people and determine which are more aesthetically pleasing. I believe the social norms have women trying harder to be more aesthetically pleasing. We shave our legs, our underarms, some of us shave our arms. We groom our eyebrows, we don't have to shave our faces. Most of us don't experience extreme balding. We wear make-up to hide our flaws and exaggerate our better features. We have made ourselves more aesthetically pleasing to people in general, because it was expected throughout history. We were supposed to be pieces of art for our husbands to enjoy and to show off to everyone else... Now.. not so much, but since women tend to have better grooming habits, we are still more aesthetically pleasing. So it's changing, men are grooming more, taking better care of their bodies, skin, and aren't afraid to do more to themselves. So I think the gap is changing.

I've done it... Behave yourself and don't make it a habit.. You were reading my story.. so with my posting habits you could be graduated before I post a new chapter... hahaha.

The method is a bit abrasive yes, but at least he is on our side of the fence.. and not the other... He's still a minority within the sport industry... most of them either advocate for gay rights or come out of the closet when they are old and have been out of the public eye for a really long time. He is doing this while he is at the top of his game, still young enough to be in the public eye out on the field still participating... it's a difference that I like.

Well no.. and I'm thinking Chris Kluwe is the minority. He's not openly gay, he's a straight man arguing for gay rights issues. He's taking chances that a lot of people in his position wouldn't take. It's a start, maybe more will voice it. Also, I read there is a young wrestler that came out of the closet and is trying to cause awareness about locker room homophobia, they say it is a really bad issue... which I can imagine... the word 'gay' and 'fag' gets thrown around way too easily.

Hang in there Robert. You are a fantastic man.

Welcome to GA. Lol.. what do you mean by sketchy?

Well.. he's a punter.. and they only get paid the big bucks if they are the best in the league.. so he has to have a fall back plan... lol.. A good education..

Recently there has been a heated discussion between two players on the same team. The straight punter Chris Kluwe for the Vikings has came out publicly and politically in favor of Gay Marriage. He's also pictured in Out.com with a colorful and politically charged piece about a letter he recently sent to a Maryland politician about his views on Gay Marriage. Not going to post the link, you can find it easily enough with the information I gave you, but the pictures of him are delicious...

There isn't much drama in college football either.. Alabama will win the BCS. But.. since my beloved Reds hit the shitter early, I've not been a fan of Baseball Post Season.. especially since the St. Louis Cardinals finally got their head out of their asses and are marching towards another unsettling upset through the NL on to the World Series.

I've just got two... Cheeky Nadian. --- Yes Steve, I'm talking about you.

Thankies Ryan. Hopefully it won't be a long wait...
