My birthday, how's my mother, well my dear...

As I mentioned below, it's mom's birthday today. I put her card in the mailbox this morning. After work, I went over just to sing to her...which, considering my singing ability, was probably not a 'happy' birthday wish to her.

She's been retired since last May, but today, two ladies she used to work with came up here (about a half hour drive) and they met her at Applebee's and they bought her lunch. She got 23 birthday cards, and 9 happy birthday phone calls. She was craving an oyster sandwish, so she called a local restaurant, ordered one and picked it up. They gave her a whole meal, but only charged her for the sandwich, since the person who took her order knew her and knew today was her birthday. And when she had finished the meal, her sister and her grand-niece stopped by to wish her a happy birthday...and they brought some oysters. Mom and some members of her family think alike like that sometimes. It's eerie. Oh and thanks to everyone who wished her a happy birthday below. I passed the wishes on and she just laughed, "I don't even KNOW those people" she said, but thanked you anyway, and laughed about it.

At any rate, since St. Patrick's Day has always been her birthday, she's generally gone all out on that day. Today was no different. I got a photo to show you.


You probably can't tell, but she has green shamrock earrings on, a light green shirt, a green pin, the scarf has some green in it, and she's wearing green socks. Oh, and of course the green teddy bear. It was sitting on the stand next to her, she grabbed it when I said I was taking a photo. And she's saying "Happy Birthday to ME!" That 's why she's pointing to herself.

And it seems like she's had a very happy one!

Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality. And the protections that we have for religion, we protect religion and talk about lifestyles choice that is absolutely a choice. People don't choose to be gay. At what age did you decide to not be gay? - Jon Stewart to Mike Huckabee, Dec 9, 2008

An utterance, information, don't mince words (Part 131)...

TMI Tuesdays

1. Don't tell us what it is, but do you have a sexual secret you have never told anyone? Yes...well, other than the person that was participating in the sexual secret.
2. Do you have a nonsexual secret you have never told anyone? Yes, who doesn't?
3. Did you ever tell someone a secret only to have them spill it? What were the repercussions? Yeah, several I'm sure, but one sticks out. I had had sex with a hot guy who was friends with this girl I was also friends with. He was just curious and didn't want anyone to know what we had done. Well I told the girl, pretty much to brag, which is sad in and of itself. But then she mentions something to the guy. So then he was pissed at me (and understandably so), and I lost him as a friend and a sex partner. I learned my lesson there.
4. Did you ever spill a secret someone told you? What were the repercussions? Ya know, I'm sure I have, but I have no specific memory of doing so. So I'll just say yeah, with no further explanation.
5. Tell us a secret someone told you, however along ago, that you've never told. (You can disguise name or details) The child isn't his. If he found out, he'd probably kill her, definitely divorce her, and probably beat the crap outta me for keeping it secret. But what can ya do?

On a friday night, green jello sucks...

Well Happy St. Patick's Day, everyone! And not only is it St. Patrick's Day, but it's also Mama Polt's birthday. She turns a young and spritely 66 today! I'd say we could all wish her a happy birthday, but as she doesn't read the Palace (thank GOD!), she'd not see them anyway. Course, any birthday wishes mentioned, will be passed along to her.

Also, I've got several special guest stars stopping by to wish you ALL a Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern, who first appeared during WWII, so not only is he green and the first, he's more than likely well into his 80's.


Hal Jordan, the second Green Latern, who appearing during the Silver Age of comics in the 60's. He's the original Man Without Fear. Was previously dead (see below), but now back alive.


Guy Gardner, the third Green Lantern...and the most obnoxious.


Jon Stewart, the fourth Green Lantern who was the backup for Hal Jordan, the second Green Lantern, but has become more famous lately due to his membership in the Justice League animated series.


Kyle Raynor, the fifth Green Lantern, who now goes by Ion, and previously dated Jade (see below).


Jennie-Lynn Hayden, aka Jade, the daughter of the First Green Lantern (see above), and one time girlfriend of the Fifth Green Lantern (see above). She's currently dead, but she's here anyways, cause like the second Green Lantern (see above) and the first Green Arrow (see below) who were both dead before but returned to life, she might return.


Oliver Queen, the First Green Arrow, father to the Second Green Arrow (see below) and husband to Black Canary (see the posting on Black named heroes). Had been dead before, but even worse, used to have an Arrow-cave and an Arrow-car. I shit you not.


Connor Hawke, the Second Green Arrow, son of the First Green Arrow (see above). It was previously postulated, but never confirmed, that he's gay. He is. I know he is. He's too cute to be straight.


The Green Giant, whom I know nothing about other than, due to the make of the car on the front and the relative primativeness of the artwork, probably appeared in the 1940's.


The Green Lama, about whom I have absolutely no infomation whatsoever.


Beast Boy, previously known as Changling, previously known as Beast Boy. Garfield Logan was a member of the Doom Patrol as a kid with his adoptive parents Mento and Elasti-Girl (naming superheros in the 1960's was fun!), and then a member of the relauched Teen Titans in 1981. He's again a member of the Teen Titans, only this is the animated manga-like Japanese art version of the team. Ew.


J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter. Yeah, he's not got green in his name, but as a Martian, he does have the green skin typical of their race. Maybe Mars was settled by the Irish? Oh, and he's currently deceased as well, and buried on Mars itself. But being an alien, and in a comic book, it's probably pretty likely he's got a different metabolism or a second heart, or what have you, and will return.


Beatriz DeCosta, Brazilian Fire. She was formerly known as Green Flame, when he only real power was to shoot green flames out of her nostrils (!!) and propel herself upwards in flight. I suppose all the cool superpowers were taken when they decided to make her. Oh, and as a Brazilian woman, she naturally had boobs bigger than her head and wore a skimpy outfit that barely contained her bulbous womanhood. As all Brazilian women do.


Querl Dox, Brainiac 5 from the Legion of Super Heroes in the 31st century. He's from the planet Colu, where everyone has green skin and blonde hair apparently. He's not go green in his name either like the Martian Manhunter, but he's not showing much skin, unlike the Martian Manhunter. Still, he's wearing a spiffy purple suit, which warrants his inclusion here.


Edward Nigma, the Riddler. I wanted to use a photo of Frank Gershin from the Batman TV series in the nifty green full body suit with question marks all over it, but I wanted to stick to using drawn photos, so I used this one. Looks pretty professional doesn't he? Of course, the purple tie and gloves helped with the decision as well.

So From all my guests, and myself, have the Happiest of St. Patrick's Days. And don't drink too much green beer. Green hangovers suck.

i wanna make friends with the badger, the woodchuck...

Enrickyricardo left a comment on THIS post about 20 year old straight guys not wanting to hang out with older gay men. It got me thinking.

I really don't have many friends my own age. I just started hanging out with Bob & Don, who are the guys AJ was staying with. Both are gay, Bob's in his 50's, Don's just 46. my buddy Michelle is my age. Dave S. is my age. The last guy I dated, Don, was 43. But most of my friends are younger than me.

AJ was 27. My buddy Ryan from work is 27. A Local Celebrity, Mr. David ParisPeking is 30 (*snicker*...he's an old fart now too). Ghostie's like 28. My buddy Gar is about 28 as well. His ex, Troy is only 21. My last ex-boyfriend would now be 21. Poodle was just 21 when I was hanging about with him. Phoenix is about 35 or so, not that much younger, but younger still. And of this group, only four are gay. I think of everyone I used to hang around with when I worked at Borders, most of them were younger than me, and I was only gay person working there forever. I think of the people I hung around with when I worked at CVS drugstore, most of them were younger than me then too, although I was quite a bit younger than I am now, and none of them were gay, that I knew of.

And now that I think about it, when I was growing up, there was a group of use neighborhood kids that hung out together all the time, about 7 or 8 of us. I was the second oldest of the group. So maybe I'm just used to having younger friends from way back.

I just seem to always have younger friends. I act nowhere NEAR my own age. And clients and co-workers at work usually underguess my age by 5-8 years. My acute immaturity helps with that. SO I guess I don't seem like I'm 41 to most people.

I'm not sure I had an actual point to make here, I'm just thinking out loud...and on blog.

POLT Listening to "I Know It's You" by The Crystal Method

He was a state sponser of terror. In other words, the government had declared, you are a state sponsor of terror. - George W. Bush

You know i really think you oughta, tell me...

My latest issue of OUT magazine came today. Each month, they ask some gay friendly woman to list "what your striaght gal pals really think". This month, they got Rachel Dratch, SNL alum. Her list made me laugh, as does she herself.

1. I don't care how many times you say, "You have to try this!" I don't want a sip of your sour apple martini.
2. Despite your best efforts of subtley, we always know when you're checking out some guy over our shoulders.
3. Attending a Fire Island tea dance with you is at the upper end of the spectrum of what a straight single lady can handle without saying, "What the hell am I doing with my life?"
4. When we do karoke with my friends, we cannot sing "Suddenly Seymour" every time. Straight guys don't even know what it is.
5. Sometimes we're a little embarrassed to have your over because our apartments are messier than yours. (NOT a problem in my case. - Polt)
6.You like my boobs more than I do.
7. If you call at 9am to describe in detail the BJ you recieved the night before, I will say, "It's too early for this." and hang up on you.
8. To us, a blanket on a plane is for warmth - not a way to hide the fact that you're jerking off the stranger sitting next to you.
9. When we're feeling bad about our love lives, "Just go troll the park and suck off some guy behind a bush" is not helpful advice.
10. When you say 'poppers', we think jalapenos.

I got a fat ass playa (Part 2)...

Just as an aside that I forgot to already mention earlier, this Saturday I weighed in at 273 pounds. Lost another pound this past week. Which was surprising to me cause Wednesday when I weighed myself, I was back up to 277. Hmm....guess all that matter in the end is what I weigh on Saturday, right?

Can't break your eggs to count your chickens...

I didn't post until late last night because after work, I spent most of the evening with a new friend. We've known each other about a year, but this was the first time we actually hung out together. He'll be 20 in a week, has brown hair, incredible blue eyes, is 6'2", around 200 nice formed pounds and cute to the point of distraction. He intelligent, articulate, funny, and interesting. We have conflicting opinions on politics, but that didn't deter us from discussing it, along with our goals, and some of our history. We both like Mel Brook films, Monty Python, comic books, and similiar music. It's great being able to drop a 'Holy Grail' reference and finally have someone get it. We hungout and talked, went to get something eat and talked, and watched "History Of The World, Part 1" and, yes, talked. It was an entirely enjoyable evening.

And he's hopelessly straight.

Which ordinarily wouldn't be an issue, as I have many straight friends. But this one...damn, I coulda fallen for him. I think I might have a little. I mean, seriously, from what I know of him and the time we spent together, he's like THE perfect boyfriend material for me. Except of course, he's straight.

*SIGH*

I'm not even really looking for a partner, but I thought I might have found one. Or at least decent dating material. But no, twasn't meant to be. It's mostly my fault I feel this way, cause just from the limited way I knew him before last night, I thought he might have been gay. I wasn't sure then, now I know for sure. But alas, we're meant to be only friends. Which is fine, cause he really is an awesome guy, and will be an awesome friend.

But I can't help but be a bit disappointed. But solely because of the expectations and assumptions I made. Counting your chickens early and all that...
