I kept hearing that Cheney shot quail....I thought he shot former Vice President Dan Quayle! Now I just heard that the guy Cheney shot just had a heart attack because pellets from Cheney's gun got into his heart (not Cheney's.....his is bionic and on Valentines Day and every day, I doubt he has a heart of any kind.) As Jay Leno said, Cheney is a Weapon of Mass Destruction...sadly in more ways then one...from Iraq to Hurricane Katrina..... on that note, before someone flames me.....back to work I go. Michael

Hi Xander, I don't know if this would help but I will suggest it any way. Your dog is so cute....but maybe if you show your landlord (of course with Xander in toe with you when you talk to the landlord since who could resist your dog...you would have to have a heart of stone to resist him) but any way maybe you can explain to him your worries and promise him that Xander is house broken and you would look after him and make sure he behaves. Also, if it helps, maybe offer the landlord a little extra rent, which you would pay for, so the landlord knows you are serious and very committed to the promise that your dog will behave. Worth a shot, don't you think? Also, make sure you check out to make sure dorms allow pets. I saw where RK Knapp said the only pet he was allowed to have in his dorm was a fish. Good Luck and let us know what happens. I haven't been able to stop worrying....your puppy is so cute....and I know how much you love him. Fingers crossed and prayers said and hoping you and Xander will be ok:) I hope you let us know how it turns out. Don't make us worry....Ok, I can't help it..I read your blog entry and really am worried...so, I hope you can convince your landlord to help you and Xander out:) Michael

Xander...go for it and hey what happened to the Gay Guys in your neighborhood? I thought you were going to develop friendships with them? Come on, I know you can do it!!!! It is clear that Justin is str8....so time for you to also (I didn't say instead of just being friends with Justin and I didn't say to dump him as your friend..even if he has bad taste..ala Lorena) find more friends with some cool Gay Guys and a few months back you met a few from your neighborhood. I also think that Justin does have low self esteem and probably has more stage fright then you ever will. I also don't mean to sound rude toward Justin but um, consider who his GF is...yep, he is being honest when he says he has low self esteem....he did chose to be with her....so yeah, low self esteem it is. I know that is mean and bitchy of me to say..but everything you have said points to that fact....Lorena, I am betting knows you are Gay and has an interest in Justin so she is going to do her level best to keep him from you....so, yep, he may be losing out on your friendship..but don't abandon him but don't abandon yourself...time to find more friends...and Gay ones help....we do look after each other..Mary seems cool..the Gay Guys who did outreach to you seem super cool...what are you waiting for? Don't make me come to South Dakota and bitch slap both you and Justin (let's face it for a breeder he has bad taste in women..so yep, low self esteem..if you think about it..you know its true....) You have brains and talent....Grab Mary, some of those Gay Guys and anyone else you can find to rehearse and form your own Play Group and chill and branch out..... Let us know how you do and at least you will be a cool Gay Guy with new friends and poor low self esteem Justin will be stuck with the loser..um, I mean Lorena..so have some pity on him every once in a while and include him in your new set of friends..even if he is str8....he can't help that... Hugs sent your way and I hope my serious but sarcastic post at least helps you laugh and also spurs you to action to find more friends and Gay ones....come on....its the theater.....they all can't be str8 there? Let's hope not! Michael

Green, I concur with all said. He is the real live twin of Aaron Keslin! I don't condone violence but I sure as heck understand what you did and why you did. I say its time he find a place of his own and right quick. I also concur with those who said you should stay away from him. Have your Mom and step dad to your place-minus the evil spawn! I am just glad that Chaz was with you. The Liar scares me as much as the character Aaron Keslin does...the sad part is the Liar is a real live person and Aaron Keslin is just a character but the type that is very much like the Liar. Hugs to you and Chaz and to your Mom and stepDad. I hope the Evil Spawn moves far far far far far away. I have this feeling he is the type like in Fatal Attraction that will find his way to be your neighbor. With your luck he will move in with the evil neighbors with the evil children...... Hugs and then some to you....I hope your fists aren't hurt and Liar is packing his bags now to move to another continent! Michael

Dom, Also, remind your Mom about Golda Meir (an amazing woman and she led Israel as its Prime Minister). Also, Indira Ghanda, was Prime Minister of India. There are several women now leading countries. I hate to ask this question but I know you are swamped. I was thinking the other day about the story you began about Harry. It intrigued me and I am wild about Harry...so I was hoping that maybe down the line you may decide to continue the story (I do remember for those that seek to flame me) that you would often write several chapters of several different stories. I can see the DD fans bombing my IMAC computer...ouch... Oh well, I was just wondering and I do love your new story..Oh, heck, I love all of them:) Thanks for sharing them with us and as to the puppy...I vote with the others..especially a Great Dane....more like will be a horse when done and well, admire from afar...and I do remember the Cat incident..so, yeah, play nice with the neighbor's dog...emphasis on neighbor's and not yours:) Michael

Green In all of we Gays, in my humble opinion, there is part boy, part man, part strong/part weak. The ying and yang balances out. As said, why bother assigning roles or guessing which is which..there is all of that in each of you. Keep communicating. That is what is most important. The glue of a relationship is honest open communication and trusting and loving each other to hear the good and the bad and the ugly and then talking about it and then kissing and smooching and so go be boys and men all at the same time. Give Chaz some slack..your relationship is very new. You were together and lived with Julio a long time. Just keep talking and expressing and kissing:) Kissing is important:) BTW, I agree with you on the color pink....grrr....I don't get it..but oh well, give me blue over pink any time:) I love Blue....yucko as to pink... You are still the coolest and so is Chaz:) Michael

Dom, that is the sweetest story...you made me smile, cry and laugh all at the same time....It's adorable.....and I even gulped when I thought King got hit by a truck and thought...oh no......but even the story had a happy ending:) Your Valentine's Day Gift is as sweet and wonderful as your Christmas Present story you gave us about the Mistle toe:) Thanks for a wonderful sweet funny and cute and loving story:) Rainbow Smiles and Woofs sent your way:) Michael

Val, I read the short story "Brokeback Mountain" first before I saw the movie. The movie stayed true to the short story in every way. Ang Lee and the actors did an amazing job. It was both a love story and about love, life, humanity and was also about angst, heartbreak, and every range of human emotions in between. I hope you are doing well:) Michael

Kevin, Listen to what Eric said....look at the long view. You want your shins and knees to be in good condition forever..so some down time can't hurt. If you are running, then time to invest in good running shoes. Your supervisor who engaged in homophobic comments in front of you, IMO, also engaged in work place harrassment of you. She created a hostile work environment. I don't know if your state has Laws against Discrimination for such conduct. That would be the kind of conduct that I would report to the Human Resources Department and plus she has disparaged you in front of others by saying she is glad you are no longer at that work site and its better now that you are not. I feel for your friend. Maybe she can put in for a transfer? I don't know what to say about Claire but if she is uncomfortable, then maybe its time to tell both Mary and Pam, its time for both of you to go live somewhere else. (If you need to be there for moral support, she can say it in front of you in their presence.) I agree with Zot. There are all sorts of relationships under the Rainbow. It is what both consenting adults agree upon. Personally, I am with you, I vote for Monogamy. That's just me. However, its whatever works for those involved. So, I leave it at that. I hope Claire is ok....she sounds like a total sweetie who will I am sure be pursued by potential GFs. Maybe she needs her time to heal, space to be and to be Mary and Pam free. Lucky for Claire, she has the best friend in the world...YOU:) I hope your shins, knees and work place envirnoment improves. Too bad it couldn't be said to the ex boss moron, "Oh I hope there are no kissing scenes too. I hate watching breeders kiss..so gross" But then again you have a lot of class and smarts and wouldn't be so gross and tactless as she clearly is. I know shame on me for typing this...but I read that comment and I want to scream....I was at an end of year party last year at one of my friend's and her friend said the same thing (He didn't know I was Gay) but I was furious. (I said to my friend, his true colors came out...he didn't know I was Gay and he made a homophobic ignorant comment. My friend defended the moron and said "oh, he's not like that" duh..he sure as heck is) I just looked toward him as I walked away and said loud enough for him to hear "damn Homophobe" and walked away. I avoided him the whole night as he stood next to his wife making smug comments. I was the only Gay Guy at the party and I could see the others eyes on me as he made the comment watching for my reaction (The rest have known me forever) and they knew I was upset (I get very quiet and one of them pointed out how quiet I was....) I ramble but I do feel your upset and pain regarding your former moronic boss. Is there a cure for homophobic morons? I sometimes wonder. Hugs Kevin, I hope you are ok:) Michael

Green, I like your current cover for the story. I just found, IMHO, that it fit perfectly. Whatever you decide is cool. You are the author:) Michael

Green, That sent shivers up my spine and made me cry. It reminded me somewhat of Mitch Albom's book, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" but your story is its own story and well done. I hope you post more chapters. I want to see what happens to Connor in his new life. I am wondering is he returning to his old life or a new one? And will Connor be Gay? You are a great writer. Thanks for sharing this genre of story with us:) Michael

Xander Your dog Xander is sooooo cute:) He is adorable and I bet he has you trained well. Who could say no to those puppy dog eyes? He is a sweet puppy:) Good luck with more face time with Justin. I hope your friendship grows stronger and closer. Hey, you didn't tell us about any of the Gay Guys in the neighborhood (from some of your past blogs). Have you been able to make contact with them. It sounded like they were really interested in building friendships with you. Now don't forget to make that happen this semester too. I don't want you to end up disappointed and hurt and lonely considering you didn't get to spend much time with Justin. Since it appears Justin is str8, and ac cool friend (but with bad taste in GFs) and you are BFF but you deserve to expand your circle of friends. This way you can do things together. Also, since the ghoulish GF monopolizes his time, it seems to me that you will end up lonely and upset (and that doesn't have to be) when you could be happy and with a whole set of cool friends to chill with and added bonus they are Gay. I am sure they know cool and hot Gay Guys, who will have the good sense to know you are cool and hot (and hey with little Xander in your arms) and I bet they won't be able to resist your puppy dog eyes either....hence chances at love connections. So come on expand your horizons and tell us how it goes:) pretty please:) Ok, Mother Michael has taken way too much blog posting time from you. Thanks for the great pictures of little Xander the cutest puppy ever and glad to see you doing well. Fingers crossed for you this semester:) Michael

Green..yippee...Rob and Dave are still together and I am betting will be for a very long time..and well, this one they can tell each other in old age and argue who's fault it was (I can hear one say to the other well honey if you were watching the damn road I wouldn't have a broken arm and the other saying well if you hadn't gotten angry I wouldn't have been so upset to drive crazy and then they will laugh out loud, give each other a hot romantic kiss and snuggle:) tell Rob I hope his arm will be ok....he gets hugs n teddy bears too..he can use Dave as his teddy bear:) I have to say kudos to Selene..she is one amazing WOMAN:) she always gets to the truth and gets everyone to do the right thing..and yippee that her daughter is feeling better....hugs n teddy bears to snuggle with:) Now as to the spawn of Satan..good for you and give the police the entire history on the spawn..I still say James' suggestion is what should be done.......that and keep puppies away from the spawn.....we know what he does to rabbits! Let us know what happens in court...hopefully they lock him up and throw the key away....or just follow James' suggestion for sentencing:) Hugs to all and don't forget to give your Chaz lots of loving......you and he are so perfect together:) Michael

Chaz, I am with James on this one....fix the boy/neuter him so he doesn't grow up and spawm more works of the devil like him! Geez, I thought the same thing about David and Rob...I hope no one was drunk. Geez, a broken arm. What next? I also am glad that you and Chaz are communicating your feelings...its very important and you are doing well with communication with Chaz, instead of keeping it pent up inside. I am proud of both of you!! And, I agree with you, Chaz is the best life time birthday present you can ever get and the shower is pretty hot (no pun intended) too:) Happy Birthday Green!! and many many happy and healthy years to come for you and Chaz and those you love:) I hope Selene's little girl is feeling better soon:) Michael

Green, post your blog story:) go for it..I am sure it will be awesome! Michael

Happy Birthday Green!!! I hope that this is a wonderful year for you and you have a wonderful BF and great friends:) All the best to you always!!! Michael

Green...at long last you have an awesome family to be a part of...now marry that boy and have them adopt you!!! Those are very cool people and one set of very funny Grandparents..not to mention Chaz's Mom is a living doll (your Mom is too....and patient..) I am still laughing that Chaz's Mom clued you in on the grandparents' gayme plan (no pun intended) and I bet you will have lots of rematchs....um, next rematch, I suggest you bring the cards..>>I wouldn't put it past the bible toting quoting Grandma from bringing her own cards-marked ones that is...that is too funny:) I am glad you are having fun..you deserve it..now kiss and hug Chaz (and other unmentional delicious yummy things:) and hugs to his family:) Michael

I will second that thought..I am allergic to bees..the kind that buzz and have deadly stingers! and kitty kats hair....and a lot of dogs..I love dogs....kats mostly know I am terrified of them and don't like me either.. ah to be or not to be..glad to see you will be in Houston, Mr. Kevin (did you know I once called Eric (Coming Undone Eric) and boy was I embarrassed....but you both remind me of each other so much... meaning you both are amazing and super cool:) hmmm....maybe its time you go back to Kinkos..see if the cute guy is there and offer to buy him a cup of coffee for being so nice? hint hint hint.... Just Italian Mother Michael match making..now If I can only do that for me....lol Happy New Year and Congratulations on your new place, Mr. Friendly Face Nice and Cool Guy Kevin:) Michael

Dom, I am the youngest and I have 3 older Italian sisters.....trust me, its no picnic being the youngest (even at my age) When I was a small boy, I would threaten them and tell them I was trading all of them in for one brother!!! (I have 2 older stepsisters, whom I do not speak too..trust me Italian drama too long even for me to write) So, I suffered as you did...and heaven forbid I spoke the truth about their boyfriends and/or husbands....hell has no fury like an Italian sister!! especially one who hears what they want to hear! (it is the do as I tell you and that's that rule) I know your sister knows she is dating a bleepity bleep or else you would have been introduced ages ago....and don't tell her I said that..I don't need another Italian sister putting a hex on me....and the evil eye! Just step back and the current dude will self destruct....right before your eyes (and make sure you only smile when she isn't around and don't tell anyone...you know Italian families..word spreads quicker then the speed of light!!) And as a second thought....delete all emails after reading them on this topic....am I paranoid..nope..just Italian and used to the family of Italian women who are confounded that I tell them nothing....one wonders why? Good Luck! Michael

Green....this is me screaming....Tell Chaz everything....he has a right to know and I don't trust the psycho, who now is with your ex.......you need to protect each other and red alert everyone you know....this whole thing is too weird..like a Lifetime movie of a psycho killer in the making.....yikes..be careful!! Michael

Dom, trust your instincts...they are excellent...this one sounds like the Biker Dude.... can we all say and spell "T-R-O-U-B-L-E"..... Good luck but remember if you hate him and tell her so..you know what will happen, she will continue to date him to bug you! maybe tell her you will be watching and as said "guilty" until proven otherwise! Not a fun way to begin the New Year..but on another note, a very Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your family (even your sister with bad taste in boys.....) Michael

Green, I read that and I feel you absolutely should say something to Chaz and your Mom...they should be warned as to what they are dealing with. Its weird, freaky and can you say this guy needs major help..and to me (and I am no expert..and don't say this to diagnosis someone..but pathological social pathethic liar) I worry what he will do next...and I don't trust him around Chaz no less your poor Mom. I would ask others (i.e. your therapist) who have skills in this area..but that story is too scarey and freaky. Good Luck, Michael

Jese..I have a feeling that you are number One on a very special list for Slaveboy:) its just you and he on the list..... Happy New Year:) Michael

Happy New Year Kevin!! Congratulations on the apartment! and here is to a great 2006 for you..Now, as to the chocolate.....such blasphemy..LOL...I try not to eat it..I don't buy it and do my best to give it away when I receive it..only because with my hypothyroid I breath and gain weight..you would think if my thyroid had to bet screwed up it couldn't have been hyper so I could eat anything and not gain weight...grrrr.. any way....just do more cardio...save the chocolate for treats to reward yourself ....the alcohol..well your resolution is a good one...it works well.... ok, gym time in a bit..I feel fat just thinking about delicious chocolate...yum! Michael

Happy New Year, Val:) I am with Kitty on that one.....my bones ache at the moment....so I know I must be too old for a bong, falling down stairs (I can hear the "I am falling and can't get up" commercial). Well any way, here is to an amazing 2006 for you and everyone:) Michael
