TMI Tuesdays
1. How many speeding tickets have you had? Accidents? At least three speeding tickets, and two accidents I can recall that have been my fault.2. Boxers, briefs or commando? Depends on the weather. If it’s cold, I go with boxerbriefs, to keep the boys snug and warm. If it’s already warn, then boxers to let the boys have some air. And if it’s freakin hot, I stay inside in the air conditioning and go commando.
3. Have you ever had sex in your office or your place of employment? I have masturbated at every place I’ve worked except for the current one and Borders. And I did have sex at one previous place of employment with a female co-worker, but again, this was neither the current job or Borders.
4. Do you or your so own a motorcycle? Do you ever ride one? Do you wear a helmet when you ride? I do not own nor ride a motorcycle and thus have no need for a helmet.
5. Ever been skinny dipping? Once, with a guy I was dating in his mother’s pool.
Bonus: Ever been arrested? Turned someone in/had someone arrested? I have neither been arrested nor turned anyone in, although I did get an underage drinking citation 3 months before I turned 21. 71 dollars and a trip to the courthouse later, it all went away.

Of those who live in houses and in homes...
Okay, went looking at houses today. Prior to today, I had them listed in order of preference House 1, 2, 3, & 4. When the agent got here, she told us that house 4 was under contract now, so now seeing that one. That's okay, I thought, I was least interested in that one. First up, was house 2.
House 2 is 119,000, with 4 bedrooms. When we got there and went inside it was, to put it lightly, a piece of shit. The only good things about it were the kitchen, which was relatively new, and right off it was a room with a toilet, sink and washer and dryer. Other than that...ew. There were holes in the walls, cracks in the ceilings, rooms half painted or half wallpapered, no shower, the one bedroom was actually the attic, and to reach another bedroom you had to first go through a third bedroom. It was quite obvious that the people who lived there last did not in any way take care of the place.
Upon leaving, I was quite discouraged, cause I figured if that piece of shit was 119,000, then House 3 must be pretty crappy as well, and I wondered if I'd be able to find ANYTHING decent in my price range. But off to House 3 we went.
This one is only 109,000, but both mom and I fell in love with it. It's got nice first floor, with a modern bathroom and shower on the first floor. There's three bedrooms and a bath with only a tub upstairs. The attic is spacious. The basement, okay, although the stairs to get to them are rather narrow. It's got a deck with a roof, a patio besides, steps down to a yard with a large shade providing tree in the middle and a two car garage at the end of the yard. the only downside to the place was that it didn't have a stove refrigerator or washer/dryer. Other than that, and the dodgey basement stairs, it's very nice. Lots of plants grown large (it's been empty for 100 days), but we can rip all those out of the ground and get rid of them. There's some painting that needs done inside, but that's not a problem. And it's got a heat pump, which mom was a bit concerned about, but I told her I don't need a lot of heat, and that's true. having throughly enjoyed House 3, we moved onto House 1.
House 1 was quite nice as well, as I expected it to be since it was my first choice. But upon actually seeing it in person, and not just in photos on line, it lost some of it's luster. And it's 154,000, quite outside my price range. But it does have all the applicances and washer/dryer.
After coming home and thinking about it and talking it over with mom, I've decided to make an offer on House 3 (which should technically be House 1 now I suppose). I've been preapproved for 120,000, which is way more than I'd need for House 3. And my realtor said House 3 is bank owned, so I'll probably be able to get them down even lower. And as mom pointed out, it'll be cheaper to get this one, and buy a stove, fridge, washer/dryer, and it would be to pay more for the 154,000 house just cause it already has the appliances. Would be so even if I could get the sellers down some more.
So I'm waiting on the realtor to call me back and discuss an offer, to see what I should offer.
I decided June 1 that I would buy a house this year, and then was kinda like "eh, what's the rush?" with financing and looking for houses online, and calling the realtor and so on. but now that I've seen a house I want, I'm all like "let's do this NOW!" in a hurry.
I just hopes this all works out, cause I'm quite attached to this place now!

Don't have much time this morning, have to go talk to the landlord this morning and then we're going to look at some houses in the afternoon. However, I wanted to give you this little ditty to brighten your day!
Earlier this week on a visit to Stephen Rader's blog, I discovered this video he posted. And throughout the week, I've found myself strangely drawn to it, watching it again and again.
I just hope one day to be as fierce as Traaaacey is. And maybe one day learn to hold a video camera, apply lisptick, and drive a car while not driving myself into and through the front window of a local Denny's restaurant.

Crossing that bridge with lessons i've learned...
Back in 2006, I had a running list here on the Palace of the things I've learned that year. I stopped somewhere before the end of the year, don't really know why, and the list only got to 8 items, but I've gathererd them altogether and am posting them here, for the readers who weren't here in 2006.
#1: You cannot change the volume on an iPod with gloves on. It just won't let you.
#2: When going to shake some baby powder into your smelly sneakers, it's best to NOT be wearing a black dress shirt.
#3: It's a good idea to make sure you are FULLY awake before attempting to shave around your goatee in the morning...if you want to keep said goatee.
#4: When you're frying burgers on the stove, and you burn them so they stick to the bottom of the pan, it creates a somewhat dense fog throughout the whole apartment and adds the odor of brunt meat to the place, and your clothes, etc, etc, etc.
#5: When using a public restroom, if you're in a narrow, short stall, it's always a good idea to check the back of the stall's door for hooks before sitting.
#6: When attempting to apply Anbesol to a cold sore on the inside of your lip, it's best to NOT do it in the dark.
#7: If something or someone is off limits, leave it or them ALONE!
#8: There is a great difference between MENSA (a group for the highly intelligent) and mersa (an infection of the skin causing blood filled postules). It's best to KNOW there's a difference and what it is, because confusing the two can lead to unique and awkward situations.
Unfortuntely, I've not learned lesson #7 well at all, and am finding that I still violate that one on a regular basis...espeically the someONES....like guys already in relationships. Nuff said.

For God's sake, don't shoot me! I'm half Italian! - Hugh Simon, What's Up Doc?
Got to let it show, i'm coming out, i want the world...
Forty years ago today, in NYC, at a club called the Stonewall Inn, a movement started. The Stonewall Inn was a gay club who's patrons were subjected to random, humilating, and senseless raids by the police on a regular basis. It was really nothing more than a way to harrass the 'queers', and unfortunately, was nothing out of the ordinary for the city, the country, or in fact, the world.
But on June 28th, 1969, a crowd gathered during the raid, as the patrons were being put into the police van, and a riot erupted. It was the first time gays and lesbians fought back against the government sponsered, clearly discriminatory police raids. And they rioted again the next night. And a few nights later. This is the first time gays and lesbians stood up, said we're not gonna take it anymore, and DID something about it.
And now, 40 years later, because of what they did that night, I'm able to sit here and type on blog, with potentially the entire world being able to read it, that I am gay man. I can do this without fear of losing my job, my home, my family or friends. Without fear of being arrested for saying so and potentially being committed to an insane asylum. Without really any repercussions at all.
Something that all the straight people out there take for granted, just stating who and what you are, I am only able to do because of those brave transvestites, those hustlers, those young people, those effeminate flaming men. I wish there was some way I could thank them. Perhaps all we gay people do thank each and every day we live our lives, just being able to do so without fear of persecution or arrest.
Previously, on this holiday, I've posted photos of sexy hot young men wrapped in rainbow flag towels, or painted rainbow colors or some such thing. This year, on this annivesary, I'm instead posting these, a photo of the Stonewall Inn in 1969, and a photo taken the night of the riots, showing some of the trailblazers who paved the way for me and all those other gays and lesbians that came after them.

Who is the hipster, who's happenin' all over our town...
So I was cruising around the blog of the lovable, the cute, the over-'z'-ified josh, and he had a link to Look At This Fucking Hipster. I went there and honestly, some of the photos were cracking me up. Even more of the accompanying caption were doing so. I had tears in my eyes after readin this one:

Today, today, it's a dream away...
So today at work, things went rather well. It was a somewhat slow day, and I only had one co-worker in my area working, but she's a favorite of mine, so we talked a goodly portion of the day, which is always fun.
After work, I went to the comic book shop, for they were having a sale, with most things 50% off. And after a bit, The Mighty Lee and the Goddess V arrived, as planned. I tried my best to talk The Mighty Lee into spending more than he wanted (I know you don't really NEED it, but it's 50% OFF!), but did make a recommendation that he took. I myself ended up spending $63 dollars exactly, which was amazing that it came out to an even dollar, and was less than I expected to pay, but that's cause everything was 50% off! Now I'm gonna be spending the weekend reading graphic novels.
Afterwards, we went to El Paso and had a delectable Mexican dinner, wherein, I proved to the both that the chips and salsa were inDEED to DIE for! And we had much talking, and laughing, and enjoyable socializing.
I came home, hung out here a bit and then later in the evening got a phone call from my Fairy Godfather Mark in Michigan! I don't know when the last time was we spoke, sometime last year I believe, but we spoke for a bit over an hour catching up! It was great to hear from him, even though his health issues have got him down, but that's understandable as Crohn's Disease is really terrible thing. Still, it was very nice to talk to him again. I'll have to remember that the phone works both ways and call him in a few weeks, just to keep in touch.
And now, after having typed this, I'm probably going to shower and get to bed. It's been a good, full day.

These excuses, how they served me so well...
I would never have figured that a man of Boss Limbaugh's girth and size would be able to spin in such a fashion, but he's taken me by surprise.
According to Boss Limbaugh, you know why South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford had a mistress in Argentina, used taxpayer funds to visit her, disappearing over Fathers Day without telling anyone, not his staff, not his friends, not his family, he was going to go visit her?
Well it's OBVIOUS isn't it? He had just spent so much time fighting so hard against the Stimulus package, and he realized that the Federal Government was taking over and sending the country into the toilet, and so he just needed to get away from it all and relax.
In other words, Sanford cheated on his wife, lied about it, was derelict in his governor duties and disappeared without telling anyone, and it's the government's, ie Obama's fault!
Well how could anyone NOT see that?????
And I still have yet to understand how this man has any listeners that can string three words together into a coherent sentence.

Just because my teeth are pearly...
A few weeks ago, a tooth I have become very VERY sensitive to heat. I mean, a drink of coffee or a spoonful of soup cause the pain to shoot up from my tooth into my upper jaw. It was horrible. And it was weird, cause when it was hurting from something hot, if I drank something cold, the pain went away. Crazy. I very carefully ate and drank on the other side.
And I knew I'd have to go to the dentist. I was afraid I'd have to get another tooth yanked outta my head, or that it might be under the tooth I have a crown on. But I kept putting it off hoping that it would just go away.
And after about two weeks, it did in fact just go away on its own. Now, just today, it's started to get sensitive to some cold. Which sucks. Totally.
I HATE tooth pain. But I hate having teeth pulled even more. I think I'll wait a bit to see if the sensitivity to cold goes away too. I'm such a tooth pain coward.

Put on my poker face, and try to figure it out...
I have done something that actually has shamed me. I toyed with the idea of not even mentioning it here, but you guys know pretty much everything about me, so why not this too?
On the way home from work, I was flipping around through the stations (cause radio sucks, thank God for giving us iPods), and I stumbled upon this song I had never heard before. It was a pop tune obviously, but it had a nice beat and lyrics I could understand. It didn't sound like Britney, I thought maybe Pink? I don't know, I know nothing about current pop music diva wannabes. But I listened to it all the way through, bobbing my head and singing along with the catchy chorus.
Only once it ended did I hear who sang it. And when I did, I gasped and damn ran off the road. It was Lady Ga-Ga singing "Pokerface".
Oh yeah, I KNOW! Imagine MY shock!
I haven't heard anything she's done, but I always though she was just an undertalented, overhyped, big PR moneymaking machine, ya know like Britney (sorry Enrickyricardo). but upon hearing this, I think....well, she's still an undertalented, overhyped, big PR moneymaking machine. But I like the song. And here's the video:
Lady GaGa - Pokerface Live
It's a 'live' perfromance, so it's not as good usually, but I wasn't able to get the video (stupid embedding denied requests). And after the song ends there's about a minute of innanity with two hosts of whatever this show is, so you can ignore that. But even if you don't like her or the song, she's got three hot backup dancers which, unfortunately, remain fully shirted throughout the entire performance. I know, it disappoineted me too.
And what's even worse, when I got home....I bought Pokerface from iTunes. *groan* I am SO ashamed.

I don't know, I know nothing about current pop music diva wannabes. But I listened to it all the way through, bobbing my head and singing along with the catchy chorus.
Only once it ended did I hear who sang it. And when I did, I gasped and damn ran off the road. It was Lady Ga-Ga singing "Pokerface".
Oh yeah, I KNOW! Imagine MY shock!
I haven't heard anything she's done, but I always though she was just an undertalented, overhyped, big PR moneymaking machine, ya know like Britney (sorry Enrickyricardo). but upon hearing this, I think....well, she's still an undertalented, overhyped, big PR moneymaking machine. But I like the song. And here's the video:
Lady GaGa - Pokerface Live
It's a 'live' perfromance, so it's not as good usually, but I wasn't able to get the video (stupid embedding denied requests). And after the song ends there's about a minute of innanity with two hosts of whatever this show is, so you can ignore that. But even if you don't like her or the song, she's got three hot backup dancers which, unfortunately, remain fully shirted throughout the entire performance. I know, it disappoineted me too.
And what's even worse, when I got home....I bought Pokerface from iTunes. *groan* I am SO ashamed.

And now, Michael Jackson's dead. This one surprises me a LOT more than Farrah's, but somehow, I care a lot less about it. I think I really stopped caring what he did about 1994 or so. After then, it's all been one big freak show to me.
But Jackson's such a gloryhound he couldn't even let Farrah have the limelight one last time, eh?

Farrah Fawcett passed away this morning at the age of 62.
And yes, as a lil Polt, even *I*had her poster on my wall.
In fact, I had it on the wall well into the mid-80's. I just loved it, for some reason. Obviously not the same reason most teenaged boys did. Perhaps is was her hair? That might have played into my nascent and as yet unreconized preference for hairthings.
At any rate, I loved Charlie's Angels, and she was a big part of it. I can't say I'll miss her acting, cause I doubt I've seen anything she's done in the last 25 years or more. But I'm sorry to see her suffer and die and such a young age.

Hmm, I'm sure if I want something cradling the boys, that I feel comfortable with it being the pointy end of something.

I am now part of a growing movement that's sweeping the nation: let's help Leonard Nimoy get an Oscar Nomination for Star Trek! No, seriously.
See today on Puntabulous, Craiggers started it all, and now we're all helping him increase the Internet buzz to make this happen. Several of us listed this on Facebook, and I'm making this post on the Palace. In fact, I'm falt out stealing Craiggers' own header!
If you want to know WHY we think Nimoy deserves the nomination, Craiggers said it better than I ever could. Just read his reasons here. And pass the good word!

South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. I only got a few things to say.
1) The affair is between him, his wife and presumably whomever the other woman is. Let's leave that part alone and let them work through this, if possible.
2) Once more, it a Republican scold hoist on his own pitard. Let's see what else we have:
Buncha hypocrites. They need to either shut up about the 'family values' crap, or live more moral lives. Take your choice.
3) The man needs to resign. NOT because of an affair (although he did have one) and not because he's a hypocrit (which he is), but he needs to resign because he left his state for five days, with no one knowing where he was, while his state is in great economic distress. And in addition, he used a state funded vehicle to get to the airport and took at least three taxpayer funded trips to Argentina in the last year.
And maybe, all the other Republican scolds out there will learn to, as I said, either shut up about the moral things or actually BE more moral.

Who knew the goldfish crackers from Pepperidge Farm came in Rainbow colors? And just in time for Gay Pride! Who knew we queers knew how to make crackers?
I'm a smidge disappointed, cause I was expecting them to come in different flavors like the gummi fish and stuff. But I guess crackers only come in a crackery taste.

TMI Tuesdays
1. Would you stay in a loveless relationship for the amazing sex? Hmm, no I don’t think I would. If I’m in a relationship, then it’s about more than just the sex, so I don’t if that would be enough to keep me. But I would certainly, and in fact do, have amazing sex with people that I have no relationship with. So it works in one direction, but not the other.
2. If you could only have one, which would you choose: love that lasts forever or great, body numbing sex? Great, body numbing sex. I don’t need to be in a relationship with someone, but I NEED sex.
3. Looking back at your past loves, which one should you have married/taken back and who should you have tossed earlier than you did? Tom is who I should have tossed, it was a disaster from the start, luckily, it only lasted about 5 months before it ended anyway. I should have tried harder with Don, but only if we started the relationship differently. I know we could have made that work.
4. if you had one last fuck in you where, how and who would you “give it” to? In Toronto to Enrique, and how? Hard. Slow, sweaty and hard.
5. Which is more important sex, money, love and happiness? (and no, you can’t pick’em all) I think happiness the most important. If you’re not happy, will sex, money or love matter?

Just how come, these smell of bitter almonds...
One day last week, I went over to Mom's. I knew she wasn't there, but she was on her way home. I opened the door, and didn't see or hear Angel, which is very unusual. She's always at the door, toy cluthed between her jaws, just waiting for whomever is coming in. But not this time. Then I looked across the room and saw this:
It's a bunch of Jordan almonds spread across the floor. I called Angel's name, and she came running in from another room, but as soon as she saw me, she stopped, her stub of a tail went down, and she looked away from me, at the wall. I asked if she had done this, in a very disapproving tone. She turned around and skulked back out of the room.
I sat down near the mess and called her again. She slowly and warily came in and sat at my feet, but as you can see from this photo:
She sat between my feet and sat facing away from me. I had to call her name three times before she'd look at me.
I didn't clean anything up, cause I wanted Mom to see it when she got home. But Angel and I waited outside, just to ensure she wouldn't eat any more of them. When mom showed up, Angel was all jumping up and stuff like she normally does. I warned Mom Angel did something. Mom went inside, Angel followed all happy, but as soon as she was in the door, her stub went down again and she started skulking out of the room again.
Mom and I cleaned them up. Apparently, Mom had left the bag of almonds in a bag full of yarn on the floor, and Angel got into it. She ripped the bag into about three pieces, and attempted to eat some of them, as about two of them were in little pieces and several others were all sticky with dog spit. But Jordan almonds are pretty hard and difficult to chew, so she gave up after a few.
And she KNEW she had done something wrong, cause she didn't come to the door, and as soon as she entered the room, her stub went down. Anyway, she just got a few disapproving words from me and mom. Mom felt it was her fault cause she left the bag on the floor and she knows Angel gets into anything she can.
But really, how can anyone stay mad at something that, a bit later, jumps up on the couch and looks like this?

Mamma may scold me 'cause she's told me...
Nevada Senator John Ensign last week admitted to having an affair with a campaign staffer last year. He said the staffer husband was trying to blackmail so he came forward and admitted it, apologized to his family and his constiuents.
Nevada Senator Harry Reid over the week when asked about it, simply said he hoped Ensign and his family could work through this and that his marriage would be stronger. That's all.
Ensign is a Replublican, Reid is a Democrat. And to my knowledge, I've not heard any other Democrat of nation stature say anything about Ensign and the affair. Contrast this to, oh, I don't know, how about John Edwards revealing he had an affair, and the response from the Republicans, especially the right wing nuts on talk radio. They called him everything but a white man, and rain roughshod over him.
This is yet another reason why I'm proud to be a Democrat. Wouldn't it be a very pleasant surprise to have Republicans not gleefully chatter, scold and gossip about a Democrat when something like that happens to them?

Anything, just to make your dreams, just to make your dreams...
Weird dream last night.
Heather, Mark and I were at my mom's house playing "Road To The White House" this board game I have. Heather got a phone call, so while she was on the phone, I decided to take a shower. The shower in mom's bathroom was narrower than usual, and I had trouble even standing in it without the curtains on the inside of the doors draping over me and getting all wet. It seemed to take forever. Finally, after showering and dressing, I left the bathroom and in the room outside was a co-worker of mine, doing the ironing. She was mom's new cleaning lady. And while she's a fine person, she is rather loud and talk-ish, and I didn't know if she was appropriate for a cleaning job at mom's house. I decided to tell her that when I next saw her. When I went downstairs, Mark had left, leaving just Heather, so we cleaned up the game. And then dad came up from the basement with an armful of wood to put on the woodstove to keep the heat going. And I warned him about co-worker being upstairs and cleaning, and he shook his head resignedly. And then I woke up.
Not only is the dream itself strange, BUT, I used to work with Heather from 1990-93, and I haven't seen her in person for at least 10 years, although we've exchanged emails and Christmas cards. I've not seen Mark since he moved back to Michigan about 5 years ago. And of course dad's been dead since 2007. Mom doesn't use the woodstove to heat anymore. I haven't played Road To The White House for several years, neither Mark nor Heather ever played the game with me, and in fact, they've never once met each other.
I suppose Freud would have fun with the dream, but for me, dreams are just weird.
