Seven million barrels of bad oxygen...

I need to preface this post with the following information: The place where I work has a number of younger guys working there as well, most of them in prime physical condition and quite a few being sexy AND hot. Bearing all that in mind, read on...

So i go into a room today at work, and there's several of the above mentioned guys therein. They're in the midst of a conversation the beginning of which I didn't hear. But as I walked in, one of the them said, "Hell yeah! For seven million dollars, I'd suck cock!"

A second one then chimed in, "Shit, for seven million dollars, I'd suck cock right out there in the parking lot, during shift change!"

A third one continued, "For seven million dollars, I'd suck cock on my mom and dad's dinner table, while they're there eating!"

And a fourth said, "For seven million dollars, I'd suck cock on the pitchers mound in Yankee stadium, all the seats sold out, on pay-per-view!"

Amidst the laughter, one of them added, "But I'd only have to do it once, right?"

And at that point, I realized that I have never in my life wanted seven million dollars more than I did at that exact moment!!!

No visible means of support and you have not seen...

The House of Representatives passes funding for the soldiers in Iraq, with the inclusion of a timetable for withdrawl. Bushie goes before the cameras and angrily threatens a veto and warns the Democrats not to be partisan with thier support of the troops or the funding.

Today, surprisingly, the Senate passes the same resolution. It surprising because the Republicans had the votes to sustain a filibuster, if they had wanted to prevent this legislation from even coming to a vote. But they said, essentially, that they are tired of carry the water for Bushie and using thier politcal capital on what HE wants, especially when it's clear an overwheming majority of Americans do NOT want this.

So, when the bill reaches the president's desk, shouldn't he follow his own words and not be partisan with the troops or thier funding and sign the legisaltion into law? Anyone wanna be he's gonna do that? And if you do, I got this real nice bridge in New York that's up for sale.

You'll see the common day catching up...

this evening, as planned I met with Paul and we caught up. I was expecting him to come to my apartment, when we spoke, he suggested meeting for a meal, and the girlfriend would be coming along. This was unexpected, and I feared it would be awkward, as she and i had never met. But we agreed to meet at Applebees.

Everything went quite well. We were there for about an hour and a half. And while there was a bit of awkwardness at first, that quickly disapated. Girlfriend's name is Crystal. She was quite through most of the night, but then Paul and I were discussing and talking about a LOT of stuff that she knew nothing about. At the end, she opened up. She seems like she's a nice girl, and paul is doing well. he seems happy, and that's good. And he's coming up on his 5 year anniversary of the last time he used drugs, which is a very good thing.

Afterwards, I needed to get some chips for lunch this week, and luckily, there was grocery story in the same lot as Applebees. So I got the chips. but I also this little slice of heaven there! (and no, I don't mean the cute gay boy behind the counter, that's a story for another time) I found THIS:



It's some kind of dessert, it has vanilla custard and strawberry glaze together atop small squares of yellow spongecake, topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. Yes, I but on 5 pounds just looking at it. but I could NOT say no! And once I got it home, I dug in...and felt my blood sugar level triple after only three bites. It was absolutely scrumptious...but not the sort of thing a diabetic wants to eat at 10:00 pm. (it's something a diabetic should eat at ALL, but that too is a whole other post) So I put it in the fridge for tomorrow...but man my mouth is watering even now!

Also, spending this time with Paul reminded me of how he was: Goth-like, in fishnets and black, heroin-thin, with always a hair color not seen in nature. this is not how he was, just how I remembered him. (He actually has put on some weight, but only enough to look healthly, not skeletal, and was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt with brown hair) At any rate, I found a icon to use for him:



This is NOT Paul, just how I remember him, so I'll be using that one when i talk about him.

Friends unconsciously rolling through...

In the last week, I've gotten a bit of news from several friends of mine.

I've known that AJ was going to be a father soon, but just this week, he found out it was going to be a boy. He was the sonogram. When they told him, he left the room and bawled like a baby in the hallway. He's looking forward to fatherhood, unforntuately, he and the mother are having some issues, some serious, some just melodrama. AJ would like them to be together for the baby, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. At any rate, I'm happy for him, he was looking forward to a son.


I spoke to Freddie this evening. He's doing fine. The meds seem to be working, cause he didn't sound like he was in any pain. he ate some Jello today, ravioli cut into very small pieces, chicken borth with real tiny pasta in it, popsicles, and actually had three pieces of Chex Mix, but didn't even attempt the hard little breadstick that comes with them. Actually, considering the problems he has with needles and blood and paing and stuff, he's handling this all quite well. I'm proud of him. And he sent me a few photos, in this one, you can kind of see how the side of his face is a bit swollen. but even swollen, ain't he a cutie?


Thursday night, I was at the computer when I got suddenly got a text message from Johnnie. It read simply "I just shook Rendell's hand." Ed Rendell is Pennsylvania's governor, for those who don't know. Johnnie and I both like him. Johnnie was waiting for some friends at a restaurant or something, and saw him standing nearby with his security detail. So Johnnie went over introduced himself, shook his hand, and told him he liked his new initiatives hes' trying to get through. Rendell shook his hand, thanked him, and then walked off. I laughed. It was obvious Johnnie was not a rich person, and therefore not able to contribute anything to his campaigns, so why spend a lot of time with the kids, ya know?


Also, probably ten years ago or so, Johnnie introduced me to his friend Paul. I liked Paul, he was a fun guy. Slightly weird but fun...like me. Over time, he got involved in drugs, arrested, overdosed, went into rehab recovered, and then kinda just drifted out of both our lives. Frankly, I thought he had probably overdosed and was dead. Then, just earlier this week, Paul contacted me via MySpace. We talked on the phone, attempted to get together Friday, but that didn't work out. So now, we're shooting for Monday. That outta be cool, I really catch up with the guy, see how's he doing, what he's been up to. I'm actually pretty excited about it all. (Paul currently works at Tabo Bell, hence the icon...but its subject to change.)

Also, today was possbily THE weirdest day at work. There wasn't work to be done, so I spent a portion of the afternoon in anther department with two females reading the 99 Sex Facts from the latest issues of Cosmo, and watched the compare and contrast their breasts, watched them flex thier breasts with just thier muscles like guys do thier pecs, listened to them discuss the benefits of leather restraints versus handcuffs, and talk about making something called 'scalded crackers'. yeah, I don't know what it was either, and i was there!

Hit my wisdom tooth, spit it out...

Freddie, my boyfriend, had two wisdom teeth out today. It was just with novocaine, he was not put under. They had to use "big needles" and give him like 12 shots. He was "freaking out" cause Freddie and needles do NOT get along well. Anyway, the upper tooth popped right out. The lower one was partially impacted, so they had to saw the tooth into 4 parts and pull them out seperately. And one of the roots was curved and in the bone, so that one was a bit of a problem to get out. Freddie was in the chair for about an hour and a half.

The upside was, along with a dentist, was an intern working on him as well. And said intern was apparently pretty cute. When he smiled, Freddie trembled (or at least that's what the sound he was making sounded like). And the intern kept talking to Freddie, which somewhat distracted him. At least that wasn't so bad.

Now he's got some Vicadins to take, as well as something a bit less strong when they wear out. And he can't have any real food until like Monday or so. (And he's expected to go back to school Sunday evening) And can't lay down and rest because he has to stay sitting up until it stops bleeding. And he's got a mouth full of bloody gauze, which of course, he'll have to change on occasion. Despite all this, he sounded well on the phone, but that's probably because the novocaine hadn't worn off yet. As the dentist told him, he's going to have a rough night.

So, if anyone would like to offer thier condolences, you can do so in the comment section. I'm sure he's appreciate them. Love ya, sweetie.

Sexy dancer, U got my body screamin'...

Got a question for all of you. I read on another blog the theory that how well a person dances is equatable to how well they are in bed. If so, this explains how a fat, old, hairy, white guy like myself can so many sleek, young hot guys into the sack. ...yeah, okay stop laughing...

At ANY rate, Mike said he believes that to be true but he found numerous people who disagreed with him, of both sexes. I commented that as a gay man, I don't know if a good dancer makes someone good in bed, but I know a good dancer can be quite a turn on, real erotic. A guy dancing real sexy like can make me want to get into bed with him, can make him more attractive to me. But whatever, maybe that's just me.

My question to all of you is, what are your thoughts on this? Does a good dancer, a good lover make? Or are the two totally incompatable? Or just not related?

Any thoughts?

Our last summer, morning croissants...

Bill O'Reilly, self styled "just folks", "common guy", etc, etc, etc, was unhappy when he was in an radio station in Los Angeles recently. But he wasn't happy.




He was upset, firstly, that the station had provided him with a limo to get to his next engagement and not a helicopter! A helicopter! Certainly every "just folks" "common guy" in the USA rides a copter between thier "engagements".

Secondly, he was unhappy with the croissants they served at the station and he demanded that a chef from Beverly Hills be brought in to make croissants the way he was used to them.

A chef. From BEVERLY HILLS! And we're talking Croissants here. Aren't they a French pastry? And what does good ole Billy have forefront on his webpage? A big photo about his "Boycott France" scheme he's promoting. Granted, these croissants were going to be made here in the USA, but let's not forget, this is the same man who trumpeted the "Freedom Fries" deal a few years back.

Too much information for my head (Part 34)...

Just like every week, these come from http://tmituesday.blogspot.com/

1. When you are out in public, do you often get hard/get wet? Not often no, but I do. Did it much more often when I was younger. but *SIGH* what didn't I do much more often when i was younger?
2. When you masturbate, how long, typically, is your session and what do you think about (other than having an orgasm)? Not long usually. A few minutes? If the porno I'm watching is real good, just a minute or less. I can make it longer should I so desire, but my thinking is, I'm there to do a job, let's do it, get it done, and move on to something else.
3. What is your most pleasurable intercourse position? If I have to chose, it's laying on my back while he sits on me.
4. How often do you use the word "fuck" (or its derivatives) in casual conversation - frequently, occasionally, rarely, never. Rarely. Moreso at work, it's expected there. Most of all when I'm by myself and I do something stupid.
5. Have you ever had a spontaneous orgasm? How when why where? Um, not that I remember. I was with a guy once who orgasmed without touching himself, that was pretty hot.
Bonus (as in optional): Post a link to a picture you consider a strong sexual turn-on. This one I think says it all, whilst still being family freindly, most or less. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasperchen/88480419/

To get on the bus that takes me to you...

I just a few minutes ago, finished watching Shortbus.



What an outstanding movie. Yes, there is explicit full on sex, both straight, gay, bisexual, S&M, a little bit of every kind. And most of the actors are pretty hot. BUT that's not what makes the movie great. It is a deep commentary on life, love, isolation, depression, relationship, sex, the big city....I kept going back to how someone can feel so alone, so isolated, in a city like New York. And how people connect to one another. It touched me. When the last song was being sung in Shortbus, I actually teared up. Not because I was sad or happy, but just because I was that touched by the whole experience.

No the movie is not for everyone, msot definitely not. But if you're open-minded enough to get around the sex, or rather not get bogged down by it, the characters and the growth and changes they go through, the discoveries they make, well, I can't say enough good things about it.

Looking like a baby picture of you...

Freddie has spent the last week at home, around Albany, on Spring Break. (Spring Break...*sigh* to be young again and GET a Spring Break). Not having the best of times, as he's had a cold early on, later in the week he found out he needs his wisdom teeth out next week, got 20 inches of snow on Friday, the friend he was gonna hang out with went to Canada (can't blame her for that, certainly), and his family has been grating on his nerves...as family is known to do when you're 19 and back at home on your first Spring Break from college and you're tired of and have no patience for everything that reminds you of your prior life before college. Yeah, I remember this feeling too.

In addition, he was in the local bar that has gay karoke nights when his high school Spanish teacher came in with her husband and ran up to him yelling his name and planting a kiss on his lips. Her husband was apparently not too thrilled. And she started to talk to him incessantly, despite the awkwardness...although considering how drunk she was, maybe she didn't notice any awkwardness. She got up to sing karoke later and yelled into the microphone, "Where's Fred?" And upon timidly raising his hand, she shrieked "Fred is my FAN!" and proceeded to sing some song...and not terribly well. Again, probably the alcohol had something to do with it. And later still, he was outed to her by a guy Freddie knows there. Which probably wasn't that big of a deal because of 1)the aforementioned drunkedness, and 2) one of Freddie's friends who had Spanish with him, informed him that she knew Freddie was gay almost from the very start. Apparently, he didn't hide it well. He also got a rather brazen offer of a blowjob, but "not here, I can't do anything HERE, but we can go to my place!" It wasn't explicitedly said, but I think alcohol was involved in this little scene as well. Freddie, smart boy that he is, turned that down.

See, and you people thought you had drama in YOUR lives!

Anyway, Freddie sent me a few baby photos of his, and this one just cracks my up and makes me smile all at the same time.



It's the gleam in his eye and hint of a smirk. It's just so adorable...just like him!

I'm like 300 and something, but I'm still alive..

So, yeah, I went to see The 300 this week. Enjoyed it. It's filled with droolable eye candy. And I think if we clothed all our soldiers now as did the Spartans then, well...we might not have a better fighting force, but you'd have one much more worth looking at.

At any rate, aside from that, I did like it. The look of the movie is outstanding, much like Sin City, which I believe had the same director. And fighting scenes were riveting. At several points, it's readily obvious that this comes form a graphic novel, as some scenes look like a panel from a comic book. the acting, well, it's what can be expected. And the script is frankly a bit over the top and melodramatic, but that's to be expected too. It is what it is, and it's damn good at what it is as well.

My personal favorite was teh son of the captain, I forget his name. but he's got the body, the smile, the hair even....ooh...nice. His name is Tom Wisdom and this is the first time I can recall seeing him in anything...although I wouldn't mind seeing him in nothing at all. *BA-DUM-BUM* Thanks, I'll be here all week, try the veal!

Anyway, here's a few photos of him from the movie, and then a scene in which he's fighting from the movie. He's the first Spartan you'll see, he with the beautiful bangs flowing all over the screen......
