Survivor, TV Shows on DVD and TV

Ok, I have nothing to write about this week, so I decided to write about TV. Yes that great waster of time and entertainment of the masses. We already know I love West Wing, but I haven’t watched this week’s episode yet, so no comment on that one yet. But I did get to see the first Survivor – Palau, now this season has potential. Last season in Vanuatu the whole men/women thing was so played out. Just annoyed me, and this is one of the seasons that I didn’t like, much like Thailand and Amazon I didn’t get into, but when they come out on DVD I’ll give them another chance. But last night they had 20 instead of the 18 they normally had and the preview was that 3 people go home, so I was wondering how this would be done, well the team pic was a cool idea to have the winners of immunity pick a member of the opposite sex and alternate and the last person picked, picked the next person. That was great, it surprised me that Jonathon was the last guy, I mean come on now, he’s some eye candy, but oh well, maybe he’ll be on a men of reality show calendar coming to you soon. But the last woman was Wanda, which didn’t surprise me at all, singing songs and stuff, that would have gotten annoying trapped on a deserted island. But the group this time looks a lot better then Vanuatu, just got tired of their constant whining on that one. But it was all good. Should be a lively season and I think Mark Burnett is doing at least 2 more Survivors. So it should be good. I’ll keep you posted on Survivor. Yes this is my guilty TV pleasure.

On with more TV, I got the first season of Murphy Brown on DVD, and I forgot how much I loved that show. Candice Bergin portrayal of Murphy is awesome. Murphy is the character I most want to be like. Outspoken and sarcastic! That is her in a nutshell; I just gotta get the outspoken part down. But I started something that I loved on Murphy Brown, every time you went into her office, there was a different sign on her dart board and on the bulletin board behind my desk I stared that too. I’ll keep you up dated on what I do. But this week it’s “ALL VISITORS Must Check in at the Nurses Station.”

I also got another TV Show this week too, the Complete Series of “Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century” from the 70’s. Yes that one with Gil Gerard and Erin Gray. I loved that show, I’m just now starting to watch it. Gil Gerard was so hot to me back then.

As you can tell I’m hooked on TV shows on DVD now. I have a few and hope they release all of Murphy Brown on DVD soon. Some of the shows I have are: The West Wing, Las Vegas, Golden Girls (I know way gay), Murphy Brown, Buck Rogers, Rocky and Bullwinkle and that names a few. And more and more shows come out on DVD

But for all my writing about TV I usually only catch, the West Wing, Survivor, Las Vegas, CSI the original one, and Sometimes Law & Order, which I need to tape. If I’m home I usually throw in a DVD and watch it. But are there any Survivor Fans in ATL? I’d love to find some to talk to or watch the shows with. Oh well talk to you soon

Working out, Meeting up, Walmart, DVD, West wing and much much more

Ok its FRIDAY, thank god. This has been a crazy week. I started my, non-trainer work outs last night. I did the bike and cardio for 40 mins and swam for 30-40 mins. Which probably did me good? But I still have water in my ears this morning, which is driving me crazy; I guess I’ll have to go get some earplugs. It has been bothering me off and on getting water stuck in my ears. But I after my Advertising class, I went to work out, which the test wasn’t as bad as I had heard, but I’m sure there were people who were like “What the F*ck?” it was very in-depth and went into detail.

But I was supposed to meet a guy I’ve been talking to online, he lives in Carrollton and just graduated college. He had to play for a recital or something and said he could meet me around 9:30 at of all places Wal-Mart, well I called him when I got out of the gym around 8:45 or so, and then called him when I got there. I was bored so I went into Wal-Mart, which I HATE, but what else you going to do when you’re waiting for someone in the parking lot? I did find a cell phone belt clip case like I had been looking for, for 9 bucks, and they have the FM transmitter that you plug into an iPod or CD player and not have to use the cassette adapter. Which mine keeps kicking out, and Atlanta RADIO SUCKS, so I gotta get my CD player working in my car. But the guy didn’t show up and it was 9:45 and called and said I was going home. He called me like 5-10 after I left and said he was walking out the door then, and I have to be up at work at 5 AM so I was like it will take you 40 mins to get here and I gotta be in bed man, it’ll have to be another time. But I missed doing lunch with him earlier in the week so I’m not mad, was just tired last night.

Oh well, but I just ordered the DVD of the Complete Series of “Buck Rogers” I loved that show when I was younger and Gil Gerard was so hot in it. I can’t wait to get it, but I’m still into through the First Season of Las Vegas, which I have seen most of them and the “Murphy Brown” First Season I got the other day, I love that show, it’s amazing how the shows look 15 years or more later. Some of the stuff on Murphy Brown is so 80’s, since it started in 1988. This is another show that I missed a lot of because I was in school; I caught the second half of the first season.

Ok I didn’t do anything about West Wing yesterday but here we go, what’s up with Abby? First of all they are making Stockard Channing look like she’s 20 years older with that haircut, and the constant “Where is my husband” and the MS thing is just getting out of hand. Just me but I don’t like the direction they are taking her character. And they have started alternating the West wing and the campaigns. Which I’m still not sold on but I think it will grow on me. I’m wondering when they will bring Josh and Donna back together, cause we all know that the VP won’t make the cut in the Primaries.

FYI note, Survivor starts back next week, yeah I know it’s my guilty TV pleasure and the Survivor: Outback DVD is out April 18, so I’m ready! OK I’ve written more then I planned to for this entry, I was jut going to write a little but now I’ve just rambled on. Will have to write about my favorite site, Amateur Straight Guys later, that site ROCKS!

The Work out Rants of today and Locker Room stories

Hey everyone,

I have my test in advertising tonight and I hope I do well. This test is supposed to be a big one. It covers everything. But I’ve studied a lot and know a lot, but who knows.. I can drop one test so we shall see. I’m talking to my friend David in DC and he has a bodybuilding friend that may help me with my work out. I hope he does, I’m still a little pissed about my workout partner bailing on me. He’s a good guy but glad he bailed now rather then later. We talk but he’s working and school and even joined another gym and still hasn’t gone. I don’t think he’s ready to commit to working out. I’m so ready, and I am going to swim and do cardio tonight, even though I don’t want too I’m going to push myself. It’s about time I got the body I want rather then sit back and be lazy. I just wish I had a partner to work out with. It would be so cool to have one that goes to GSU and we could go 3-4 times a week and push each other. I was hoping I’d have that which Chris but nope. If there is anyone out there reading this and going to GSU and would like a work out partner. Let me know! So far I’ve just started and have done cardio and we’ve evaluated me on the machines, when I finally get a work out I’ll post it here. I also swim, I love doing laps and will hopefully get on a masters team sometime and swim.

I also finally got meds for my sinuses last night. They have driven me crazy for months, but they were $90 for them, DAMN, but I will say they haven’t bothered me much today and it maybe worth it.

I have to go suit shopping too, I hate that I have to get one right now, I mean I wish I had time to work out and get in shape. I went shopping the other day at lunch and I swear I looked like a stuffed sausage. I remember when I was younger and I would wear double breasted suits and look good, now I tired a 3 button and it didn’t fit, and guess will have to get the two button ones. Can you tell it’s a down day today? Yeah, I don’t know what’s up today, just feeling blah, I guess I just need to branch out and find some more friends. I have 5 main ones but I can always use more.

I have the desire to work out but I gotta follow through. I’ve mentioned before that if I had the time I would bodybuild, but I don’t have 3 to 4 hours a day to work out. Also I’m not sure how my gout would be affected by that. I know, it’s one of those dreams that will prob stay that way but I do plan to work out and get some muscle going. I see the guys at the rec center and most look good, oh, story from the locker room. I went Monday with my trainer and when I got done there were a bunch of for a lack of better word, frat boys, more like frat boy rejects if you ask me. But they were talking and one mentioned that he had stories to tell about the weekend and wouldn’t because, I think he gestured to me, but he went on to tell the story of the girl at the party trying to get laid and how everyone turned her down and said the one guy, who he said was attractive but followed up quickly by the I’m not gay, didn’t want to have sex the and the whole 9 yards, I’ll spare you the details he said, but if you’ve read my blog you know the story of the dudes in the pool and the one who said your hair is str8 like your sexual orientation, I swear this was the same dude. He sounded just like him. WE have plenty of dorks. Also I saw the hottest boy next door guy in the gym, but he wore a W in 04 t shirt, oh well, he’s young!

Ok I guess that’s all; come on guys post comments, let me know someone is reading this

The Presentation that woudln't end!

Ok, it’s the day after and I live. I had to give my presentation in my business communications class on our “Most Admired CEO.” Well I’m not one for giving formal presentations. But you gotta do what you gotta do right? Well I went through my presentation. Well the day at work was pretty uneventful for a Tuesday. I brought my clothes to change into, because we had to wear a tie, and everything was ok. I went to change, luckily I was at work, and the shirt I picked out, was too small! We know I’m a big boy, working on being a big muscle boy soon, but there was no way I could wear the shirt. I had to leave and go to my Dr.'s Appointment at 4 and it was already 3:20, I didn’t have time to go to the mall, so I had to stop by Sam’s on Clairmont and get a new shirt. I ran in and got it and then, they never have enough cashiers there, I waited in line and they do the scan your stuff while you stand in line and when you get up to the register, they just swipe your card and you pay. Well, of course the shirt wasn’t in the hand held scanner’s system, so I had to get to the register, well some guy had to do something with his membership and left his stuff on the counter and everyone in front of me paid and left, but guess who came back before I got there, you got it the guy with all the stuff. So I had to wait for him and I finally paid, and left. Well I forgot to mention it was sorta raining and people in Atlanta can’t drive in the rain, so I was worried I’d be late. So I drove like hell to the Dr.’s office and ran in. Everything went well at the Dr.’s office and I had a follow up visit for my gout and found I have a mold allergy, what fun. Three prescriptions later, I’m off to school, I got to school and pulled in. I was like; ok I’m just going to relax. I found a place to sit in Classroom South and pulled out my stuff and staple it together, we had a ton of stuff to turn in, and guess what? I forgot my new outline. I had the preliminary one that we had to turn in and so I ran to the computer lab and got on a Mac, which thank god are never full, I felt like an idiot because they have G4’s and I couldn’t figure out how to get the CD drive open, I had to ask the guy next to me. And I felt so stupid after, but I printed the outline. Well, it went to print but I didn’t have my student ID to run through the print server, it was in the car. So I had to go to my car and get it and come back, well the damn thing didn’t print, it didn’t show up so I printed again and again, still nothing, well I was a bone head. I was on the color printer not the black and white. So I got my outline and left.

So I reclaimed my seat in Classroom South and pulled out my speaker notes to go over the presentation. And guess what …I grabbed the WRONG STUFF. I cut out stuff from my presentation the night before and I grabbed what I call the extended presentation. I couldn’t believe it and at this point I had no money on my ID to print and had to go down to the computer lab and find out where to put money on my card and had to walk to the other side of campus. I couldn’t find the ATM machine that puts money on the panther card, so I walked up to Auxiliary services, and was going to the Panther Card office when I saw it, well I tried to go back down the steps and the door was broke, you couldn’t open it from the side I was on so I had to walk half way around the building and get back there. I should have just gone to the panther card office but I didn’t want to be bothered by people. So I put 2 bucks on my card. I went to the bookstore to get something to drink and some snacks and go back to the computer lab for the 3rd time. I open up my presentation and print the speaker’s notes. I get my stuff and leave. I go and sit outside my class and just relax for a few. So now I get my notes and start to go over my presentation and now the drama continues. The printer didn’t print out the pages or more then likely I left 3 pages on it. And no I’m not making this up; this is too twisted for even me to make up. By this time, I’m like there ain’t no way I’m going back to the computer lab for a 4th time. So I break out my outline and copy down the info for the last 3 slides. By this time it was almost time for class.

We get into class and I go third, the presentation went ok, I was right around 5 minutes. I said the only thing else could go wrong would be my presentation would self destruct, you know like in mission impossible. But I was already to go but when you get up there, you had a lot to think about. Well I don’t think I read the slides from the screen, and I went pretty well. I got nervous and reworked things on the fly. One thing I did do wrong was I didn’t introduce myself. But that was minor. They only blunder that I know may have shown was, when I was going through Oprah’s media empire, in case you didn’t know I did my presentation on Oprah, and when it came to the movie Beloved, I was supposed to say, the feature film directed by Jonathan Demme and based on her favorite Novel by Toni Morrison, well I went blank and thank god for graphics. I had a big image of the beloved poster on the screen and I saw Danny Glover name and said, yeah that’s it, Danny Glover, well to myself, and said the feature film Beloved staring Danny Glover. And when I get nervous I don’t’ speak loud, which I don’t do anyway, but everyone I know in class said I did well but you know we’re our worst critic. But the topper for the evening was 5 of us in class did Oprah, and this is out of 19, so a fifth of the class did.

That was my night; I came and checked my mail and all my yahoo groups mail got bounced, meaning I didn’t get any. I had none in that email account, so no porn for me last night, so I fixed it (I know I did because it started rolling in this am), and I just went and got in bed and watched the first two episodes of Murphy Brown, which I bought yesterday. The First season came out on DVD, and I love that show so I bought it. My Denver guy called me last night but I left my phone in the car, a little disappointed I didn’t get to talk to him but hopefully I will today. I will do a whole blog on that soon. Let you all know a little about him. I’m not sure anyone is reading this but this is fun to write for me.

Well that was my day, and I swear I didn’t make anything up. I really should write sitcoms with all this stuff. But oh well, hey if anyone is reading this out there post a comment on my site, telling me anything, howdy, this sucks, I don’t believe your story, just let me know I’m not talking to myself. DAMN this is a long blog; well I guess I’ve made up for missing a while. BTW NEW West Wing tonight, Can’t wait! Cya studs

UPDATE, Stay tuned for further update

Hey guys,
I know it’s been a while but life has been kicking my butt. I started back to school and I have had one thing after another. Tests, papers, speeches, and god knows what else is around the bend. Let’s catch you up on what’s going on with me. Hmmm. When I last left you I was talking about the west wing, and the jury is still out on whether I’ll like this season or not, but hey I’m still watching so it can’t be that bad.

School, damn this semesters is rough. I’m taking three classes and my one communications class is killing me. Every week there is some labor intensive project or test to do, it’s driving me crazy, read 4 chapters one week and take a test the following. Which sucks, I am taking two major classes, Advertising and International marketing and I haven’t devoted enough time to those classes. I have my first advertising test this week and International marketing next week. And another communications test, go figure, we have 5 in the entire semester and we’ll be over half way done. So I’ll keep you posted on my classes, ARGH

What else is going on, I started to work out and go to my trainer every Monday. I really like it so far, my work out partner bailed on me so I’m going it alone. I have to start going during the week and doing it, I have the visual of the body I want I just have to make it happen. I think I can accomplish it and maybe I’ll post pics of my progress. Not to mention there are some good looking guys at the Rec center at GSU.

Ok, now for breaking news, the terminally single guy is interested in someone. Yeah it’s true, BUT, you know there’s always a but, he lives 2,000 miles away. Isn’t that the case, oh well, I try to talk to him online and the phone but I’m not putting the cart in front of the horse until I spend more time so I’m not taken just yet. But he’s one of the few people I have “liked” in a long time. Its hard to open up to people for me and I’m doing it and he’s so easy to talk to.

Ok, many of you know about my web site. Well I’m debating doing a full fledged site or what I initially hoped doing reviews. I think I should stick to the underwear review and not focus on a Sean Cody or Amateur Straight Guys type site. But I do have a model and will try to get more guys on the site. And make it a good gear site. If you know anyone who wants to model, let me know, I need models. I want to go pg-13 pics of guys in gear. Not sure I’m ready to be the Larry Flint of gear just yet. I just need help with the site but I’ve not found a suitable assistant web master.

Well that’s a good update so far, I need to write in here, I love to pour things out and it’s very therapeutic for me. So post comments, email me and what ever else you want. Have a great week!
