YUREKA! I’ve not been a good friend
There is something about me, and I have noticed this time and time again, that when people either meet me, go on a date or anything like that, where there could be some relationship interest, the person who usually goes out with me finds someone shortly there after. I think I should just start charging people to go on dates with me and then a week or so later they will meet their next by. Kind of like match making but with no really work for me. Hmmm sounds like a good idea to me.
I talked with a friend in SC and he really put things in perspective with J2 as well, he said that I need to give him and his bf time to get to know each other and develop a strong relationship. Which is true, and when I talked to him (J2) on Friday I realized just how spread thin he is with work, bf, social obligations, parents and such. I remember being in that situation and its rough and I irritated him and now I feel so bad, I just didn’t know how busy he was, my SC buddy said you have to take what time you can get and that’s so true, 7:30 am calls and lunches and getting together during the week. Have to do for now. I just am used to calling a friend up and saying “Hey let’s go to ….” And get in the car and go, but can’t do that with J2 right now and yes I think he’s right when he says its all about timing, I feel like such a dope, butthead for Fridays conversation. I try to pride myself on being a good friend but I was not, he spent the weekend with his BF and I called yesterday and apologized on his voice mail and sent an email explaining this and a lot more and will apologize again tonight when we talk.
I guess the reason I get so insecure with J2 is that, we have so much in common and he’s the first real person that I can just be 100% open and it’s awesome, I’ve told him things that very few people know or none at all. He’s so easy to talk too and I guess I don’t want to share him but he needs to be happy and have a relationship and live is life too, just never really had a best friend that I did stuff with and told everything too. Which I am changing and doing well at. Just takes time. I’ve always been so protected, one reason is being gay for the longest time I thought so many would reject me if they knew, and other is my learning disability and self esteem, But those are changing and it’s a process that takes time. I just hope J2 forgives me for the other day, He’s damn special to me and he means a lot. BTW his bf is very nice and very good for him so for that I am very happy, hope to meet him soon and find out in person!
See I told you I’d write more

OPERATION: Date Night
The last few months I have really been working on me, and fixing what I thought was wrong with me. I think this is important to do. You know I don’t know if I’m ready to just get married, but I want to date more.
Ok, first problem, where do you find someone to ask out on a date? HMMM, Well I’ve tired the usual avenues, online, which you know most guys just want sex and RIGHT THEN, and friends, and I’ve determined that all my friends who are dating don’t know any single people other then me. So making me wonder do they actually exist? Hell, I’m this close to going to a gay match maker LOL. Don’t tempt me I’ll do it.
So My goal is to have a date by the end of October. Does anyone out there know of any laid back, guy next door types, that are single? If so send them my way!
Ok here's what I’m looking for:
• Laid back personality
• Has a good sense of humor
• Is smart, in what he does for a living
• Guy next door looks, I’ve never really clicked with muscle boys or overly “good looking” guys, just nothing there.
• I’d love it if he were into camping and grilling out
• A Big plus for a baseball fan, just no Yankees fans LOL well ok I’d date one but… I won’t go there LOL
• Lastly, just be nice.
Ok I’ll keep you posted, I promise, I’m going to create a logo for this, LOL yeah I have no life

Another day in the Week from Hell
This week started off ok, and got worse, last night was the worst day. The whole gas thing, please don’t let me ramble on but it’s people being stupid in Atlanta and not paying attention to what is going on. NEVER believe anything on the internet. That you don’t check out as fact. But if I get started I’ll have 4 pages of ranting.
What else sucks, is right now I work for my family and live with them. Yes this is family overload. While the job has taught me my umpteenth thousands of dollars in college education have paid off and I know what I’m talking about in business, working with family is a whole other kettle of fish. I don’t recommend it for everyone. I in fact really thought about staying but realized after things happened today, that I really need to leave here after I get done taking my class, that is in the day. When you work with family there is a lot of baggage that goes along with you to the job and it’s not what I want. Plus I want do something creative and in marketing and not in the automotive parts industry, sounds so butch doesn’t it.
An incident happened today and it seems I’ve been blamed for things happening that I didn’t start, one thing about me don’ accuse me of something I didn’t do, I will fight you to the end. I try to treat everyone with respect and today someone went off at work and I wasn’t in the mood to argue so I didn’t say anything, but when something was said about statements being wrong they went off on me personally, not about work or anything but a whole rant about me and what’s wrong with me, I told them “I’m not in the mood today and if working here sucks so much then get your ass out and find you a new job.” I believe that everyone is held to the same standards. Then my mother told me to be nice to the person and that I started it, I was like wait a minute here, I didn’t not start it, I left, and I was not going to stand and be accused of starting something that I didn’t. Arguing with me about work is one thing but attacking me personally for not reason at all, well all I have to say is if you do, you better play to win cause I’m going to take you on full force. And another thing you should know, never ever hold money over me, like I give you your salary, I loaned you that money, etc, that don’t fly with me either, I’ll either find a new job, go borrow money from someone else or get money another way, you don’t hold it over my head. That’s what I told them today, I’d go drop my class and get a job somewhere else. So this January I’m looking for a new job that pays more and I’ll move out and start the life I want not what I have to take now, it’s all a sacrifice for finishing school, which will be done in May of 2006
One good thing is that a good friend of mine, J2 the one I talked about before, he and I have gotten closer as friends and he really means a lot to me, I mean he is one of the few people I have ever really just opened up too and just talk. It’s so great. I think when we had dinner and talked, I was taking a lot out on him and his new relationship that was displaced from other areas of my life. He’s a good man and I told him if the new bf doesn’t treat him right I’ll kick his butt (the bf that is)
Well that’s enough for now I guess; see I told you I’d write more because I have my new laptop! I love it.
Later…..

I'm Back
Well, pretty much the same stuff, although I got a new job working for my father and that has its ups and downs. More on that later. I have made a really good friend, whom I’ll call J2 that has its ups and downs and drama with guys.
Well when I last left you I was in school and wanting to make more friends. Well that is still the plan but school is way to busy right now. Which sucks, I have a few friends not many, and I want to make more but it’s hard when they call you to do something and I always say, “I have to study.” I know it’s a necessary evil for now and will pay off in the long run. Over the summer I met J2 and another guy we’ll call T, well things were really cool and we were going to do braves games, and hang out, camping and the works, but T turned out to be a missing in action friend. You know the kind never can get on the phone or call or anything. So I had to kick him to the curb and J2 met a guy and well you know how it goes when you start dating someone new. I kinda feel left behind and took me a month and a half to meet up with him again. Which sucks because have you ever met someone and it’s like you know them and you click so well, that 3 months seems like 3 years? That’s what J2 and I have, I know he needs to spend time with his man but it’s just frustrating.
My life is in a big state of change, and those who know me know I hate change, but after a few weeks I adjust. Again another necessary evil. I’m reaching the point in my life where I want to move out and make my own life and go from there but with my work situation and school I can’t do that. Have you ever reached the point in your life where you say “I’m sick of everything in my life?” Well that’s where I am. This will definitely be an ongoing post. I have tons of ideas and I gotta get back to the dating stuff and what this blog is about. Hell I’ve been single for 9 years I should have a lot to say on the topic LOL> Ok this is an update and I plan to keep updating at least 2-3 times a week now that I have a SWEET iBook laptop and can type from anywhere. Please post comments and let me know how I’m doing and what’s up with you guys
Be good
Tim
PS isn’t spell check great!

The Rainbow After the Storm
The first is, I have a profile on normal gay.com and I had forgotten about it and the nicest guy sent me an email. Telling me how good my profile was and gave a great intro on him, and just seemed like a nice guy. He had a damn good intro email. I wish I could write them that well I always sound like a dork when I write them. I haven’t heard back from him as of yet but would be great to have a new friend.
Second, a good friend in bama said, about my predicament “To hell with him it’s not your problem.” And you know advice that straight forward really hit home, it’s not really my prob, He’s not my bf and I’m not the one he did stuff with. Although I am reevaluating the friendship, I’m going to see how it goes over the next few days, and go from there.
I hope everyone else had a great weekend and I’m sure I’ll type more, I have neglected this blog for way too long.
A Gun and a Great Defense Lawyer
I made some up my mind on a few things. I seriously am going to work out and get in shape this year. I am making more friends, and I am not gong out alone with my friend from Friday. I don’t think it’s good for me if he continues to act this way. I don’t mind going out and having fun but not that.
This ties into dating. Because In the past I’ve always been the one to be walked on and give in and try to please the other person no matter what. I realized about 5 years ago that’s crap, yeah you should do things to make your partner happy but not at your expense. I want a relationship build on trust. I will trust a person till I have a reason not too. Too many gay guys just are in it for the sexual part and never think about the friendship part. That’s when some open it up and do what ever, I don’t understand the whole concept of it, I don’t like to share. I mean I will never say never but, I keep hearing from guys its easier then breaking up, well I’d rather break up.
But as things progress I’ll keep you posted on what happens.

The Day After, well somewhat
I’m sort of on a emotional rollercoaster right now because one minute I’m fine and the next I’m pissed. This won’t go away till I confront my friend, which is hard to do with his partner around. So I may not get to do it, I did talk to him earlier and I said I didn’t get any sleep last night because I was pissed off last night, and we’ll see.
I have learned one very important thing in this whole mess, I am growing up. How you ask? Well let me tell you. Before when I ever got mad a anyone I knew that was it, I wanted nothing to do with them. And I’m one of those people who can hole an unhealthy grudge for years, tuck it away in my memory then see the person and it’s back in full force. All the people last night I don’t hate them, I like them and will be friends I just don’t like what they did. I told one friend earlier it was like being bitch slapped around last night. Things will get better and things will improve, I still need better confrontational skills and this will help.
I’m going to go lay down watch season 3 of the West Wing and relax. I’m watching them all over from season one to season four. Then News Radio then Quincy, yes you heard me right, Quincy with Jack Kludman. I know I spelled that wrong.
Have a great one and I’ll get back on track with the dating stuff and all this week.
Full Faith and Credit
I went to an event tonight and expected to have a good time and hang out with some people I know. (I won’t say where or what although I’m half tempted to use real damn names). But I won’t do that, I went to the event with a very good friend of mine and the night was fun, until the end of the night. When my friend was hanging out with Alex and Dave, as I’ll call them for now. They were talking and one of the has a pool and from what I gathered, it was going to go skinny dipping at Alex’s and I’m like cool, But as the conversation went on, my friend said “aren’t you getting tired don’t you want to go home?” and Alex said “you can’t come you’ll open your damn mouth.” Now first off I don’t hear very well in bars, there is a problem that I believe is genetic, that in a lout environment like that I can’t hear anything. So I didn’t know what the fuss was to go skinny-dipping. Well they weren’t going skinny-dipping they were going to have sex. Which I didn’t know at the time. Until they said something I heard. We all left and on the ride over there I was mad as hell, not that they didn’t want to include me just the way they did it. I’m not attracted to Alex or Dave at all, so no hard feelings there and as for my friend I am not attracted either. One added thing, my friend and his partner have been having problems lately and they have talked about being open and I have no clue. So I drove his car over to Alex’s house and told him I would go to Woofs and he can go have fun and call me when he’s done, he said he didn’t want me to go alone and he’d go with me. He left went and talked to the two and said come and go have fun. I know me and I was in no mood to be there, and I have a saying “Don’t go where you’re not welcome” Which is how I felt, I was not a welcome person to be there. So, my friend comes back and says this and I say nope I’m not going, He went back with them and I went to Woof’s at first I was dreading going to a bar alone, then I saw Joey, who I used to work with and hung out. About 45 minutes later my friend comes back and said he couldn’t leave me, granted by this time he had already had what ever sex he had, and I thought we were leaving, nope he proceeded to make out with a few guys and I was tired, and still grumpy, You know and I just sat there while he made out with these guys, I wanted to go out and have fun, hang out not watch him suck face. OK I can hear some of you say, you’re jealous, I’m not at all, I just don’t want the information I have incase his partner asks me. I don’t want to be in the middle of something like that. When I go out I want to have fun and just hang out and cut up, not get someone laid, you know sitting there made me feel like the shy introverted 16 yo I used to be. Dorky and self-conscious, I have come a long way but I’m just going to f*cking level and say some things I was going to say but didn’t know how to say or if I wanted too. Some of you are now saying, Well you’re just jealous of your friend getting some. No, I’ve been through my slut phase and I’m pretty much over it, When I have sex know I want to know the guy and like him and have it mean something. I’ve had tons of sexual encounters over the years that didn’t mean anything and it left me emptier then when I did it. Fact #1, I have a big dick, yeah I said it, I can get just about any btm I want in Atlanta, and have, All I have to do is get on aol and I could have one in 5 minutes. But I don’t want that. So all you people say I can’t get a man to truck, BITE ME! FACT 2: I’ve reached the point in my life where there is so much more then a trick, fling or one nighter. If you want to do it, then knock yourself out I won’t judge you or anything, it’s just not for me any more. Even the guys to night I still like them and don’t hold any bad feelings but damn, learn how to be more direct and say “You’re not our type” or “There’s no Chemistry” what ever., I ain’t heartbroken in the fact I didn’t go to the pool, actually I’m very glad I didn’t go. Hell I haven’t topped in 3 and a half years, August 2001 was the last time. That has been my choice, and one I’ve been happy with. FACT 3: When I do have sex, I want to have it with someone I like and know. Not someone I met for 5 minutes, I want a connection, I’m not saying I have to date, but I’d like to like the person before I get naked. I’ve had tons of sexual encounters where after it was over I was like why did I do that? I want to leave now, this person is an idiot.
I’m pissed off because of several factors and I choose the title because no matter what I should be able to be pissed. First be honest, that’s all I ever want, I’m not saying It’ll make things 100% great, but tell me up front, not my type, ugly, what ever you want. Just be F*cking honest with me, I’ll get over it better. Second, I don’t want to be in the middle of something between my friends. And I know I will be, I see a light at the end of the tunnel and it’s a damn train. I’ll get screwed. Lastly, if I go out with a friend I want to go out and have fun not watch you spend the night making out with god knows who. I want your company and not be the third wheel, again refer to rule one, if you want to do that be honest with me and say, I want to go get lucky, and I’ll either invite another friend or not go.
I’d be curious to know what some of you guys think, Leave your comments or email me. I didn’t’ argue with my friend because I’m VERY MAD and I never argue this mad, I need to cool down, second, he was drunk, I know this because I told him the same things twice and he didn’t remember them.

Single = Desperate?
I went out Sunday night to Woof’s after softball because they were the host bar and it was ok, but half way through the night, a few of my team mates decided they were going to get me laid. And upon reflection, I got pissed off, hell I was pissed off at the time. Some how they got it in their head that being single and not having a sex life (we’ll talk about that in a sec) I am desperate. Well, for one, my sex life is where it because I want it there. I used to be a ho, hooking up and tricking a few times a week. But the reason I did it was because I wanted to get companionship with out the attachment. And I’m not saying that if you go around and have sex (as long as it’s safe, that’s another whole discussion) then go have fun, as long as you’re both on the same page, knock your self out hang from the chandeliers and break out the hand cuffs.
Back to my story, well they kept going what’s your type and I was pointing out guys. That I liked, but that was a bad night at the bar. I though we were talking get me a date, but they were talking “lets get me laid”. So one of them had a friend come up and he was ok, and they told me that he was single and such, he wasn’t really my type but sometimes I’m just too damn nice, and then they went and talked to him and made me go talk to him. First he wasn’t my type and second he was drunk off his ass. Not a good first impression.
But why is it most guys in a relationship think us single guys are so totally miserable without a man? What’s up with that? In the last few years I have really done things that were good for me and made positive changes. Ones I don’t think I could have done dating. But who know, I would love to hear from some of you about this. Give me your 2 cents!

This is your Job ........
What I am looking for in a job:
• Location, well I would love a job in Buckhead, Midtown or downtown, to be close to school but hell I ain’t picky, it if pays I go where ever it is.
• Type of job: well I’ve only done administrative jobs, and its what I know but I’m at GSU downtown and closely approaching my graduation date, May 2006, I see the light at the end of the tunnel and it’s not a train this time. I am going to school for marketing so I would love a job that has either an entry level marketing position or an admin one where I can move up as I graduate and gain skills
• My qualifications and what I like doing: I would love a job doing PowerPoint Presentations. I am really good at designing custom presentations. That includes backgrounds, bullets and graphics. I have advanced MS Office skills and am a wiz at anything in office. I eventually want to go into special events/convention Planning and also give presentations. I took a great seminar last week and giving them is a lot easier then I thought. I was taught some common sense about them. Lastly I have 5 or more years working admin and previous to that was retail.
Anyone out there know anyone hiring in the ATL area let me know, SEND ME AN EMAIL ASAP! See this isn’t exactly like Scott’s
I'm Back
I know you think I just dropped off the face of the earth but I didn’t. I’m back and better then ever, or so they say. Well not really LOL, I got done with the semester and now job hunting. Which sucks big time. But unlike last time I am being proactive and really looking. Last time I got laid off I was so depressed and miserable that I just sat around. Not this time. I’ve only been seriously looking for a week or so but things will happen.
That’s all that is happening to me I’m going to try to get back on my schedule of postings and topics, but for the life of me I can’t find my list so I’m going to create a new one tonight and get started.
Have a great day
Tim
PS if you hear of any jobs in ATL let me know

Pissed Off
I’m pissed because I got laid off and I found out that after they laid me off and a few others they are hiring someone to fill in the slack basically. That just annoys me but it’s good I’m not there I was tired of not having a phone on my desk and doing nothing for three months. There’s nothing I can’t stand at a job then doing nothing and wasting time. I have been in this situation before and this time things are different. I realize I have skills and the only person that has held me back was me. I can do a lot and will have a better job after this but the time it takes to get a new job kills me.
The last thing pissing me off is school, luckily I am unemployed or I never would get half the crap done I needed too this last few weeks. Every time I turn around for my business communications class I have about 4 things done at once, this class is one of those crappy required classes and it assumes you have nothing to do but do work for this class. I have 4 things due this Tues and a test, god I just have to get out of it with a C. I plan to give it the worst evaluation I’ve ever given a class, and my other classes are ok, just time consuming and I expected that with my major classes. Being dyslexic the syllabus is hard to read because it doesn’t make sense to me, I hate that class.
Thanks for listening I won’t bitch any more

Ramblings, Whitney, Dating and some things to make you go Hmmmm
Hey there,
Well in a day I’ve gotten two comments, that doubles my previous comments. WHOO HOOO. I’m still trying to figure a few things out with the blog, I have a bunch of ideas, I just need the time to implement them. I’m trying to write something every day rather then go a week or so without posting. Plus it gets me in the habit of posting. Because I can be very lazy given the chance. No really I can! OMG, I am listening to the talk radio station here in ATL and just heard Whitney Houston is back in rehab. That’s the topic for a entire blog in itself. When will she learn? She had such an awesome career in the 80’s and early 90’s and in the last 10 years I’d say she let things go. I don’t want you to think I’m a Whitney basher, hell I’m listening to her greatest hits in the car right now, the dance mix CD, I love that thing. But come on now, dump the man and move on. She keeps saying how much she loves him, but love ain’t chemical dependant. Isn’t a shame when someone with so much talent just doesn’t do anything with it, heck I’d kill just to be able to carry a tune. I am probably the worst singer I know, and I am BAD, I’m talking American Idol reject bad. And then there is Mariah.. that’s too much to go into so I’ll leave that one alone.
Sorry for the tangent there, but what was I saying before I rudely interrupted myself…. Oh yeah the blog. I’m having fun doing this and I Hope y’all are enjoying it. I’m going to type about everything, dating, me, reality TV, West Wing, and everything. But we’ll start off by dating. I swear I’m going to come up with my own material, like Terminally Single, but I am a serial Dater. I heard one comedian, talk about how if Serial Killers are called that because they kill people, then they were a Serial Dater because after they go out there never is a second date. Well lately this has been my dating life, hell this has been it for the last 10 years I think LOL. I have many dating stories. And yes I’ll go over all them. But lately I go on one date and you think “Man that went great, I can’t wait to see (Insert Name of the week) again.” Then you get the “Oh we will have to do something soon (Implying when Satan is ice skating in hell), the I like you but not in that way, or the all time gay favorite, the ignore them and they will go away. I’m trying to dissect what I do in dating, I mean I’m not hideous. I’m hung like a horse (Just kidding or am I? HMMMM) But my biggest downfall is I’m so damn shy, which I seriously am working on. A lot of people I have known said at first they think I have attitude, but I don’t, I just get a feel for the situation before I really say anything. I actually gave up dating a few years back for a year because I went with the three strikes out rule. I had three dates in a two month period that got consistently worse and I figured before I got arrested on a date I’d give it a rest.
The first date, for the life of me I can’t remember what went wrong. I think I blocked it from my memory. For the life of me I can’t recall what happened. HMMM,
But the other two I will go into tomorrow… I know right now you’re cussing me for doing it, but I got carried away in doing more then I thought I would do. I was only going to do a paragraph or two, not a book. Well tune in tomorrow and hear about my dating life.

The Gas Station of Lov e
Well I have a saying, I forgot where I heard it, I wish I could take credit for it but here goes… At the Gas Station of Love, I’m just in the Self Service lane. No truer words have been spoken. You know, some of you out there may think I shouldn’t make light of some of this stuff, but you know I’ve reached the point if I don’t have fun with being single I’ll go crazy. And I’m a firm believer that if you can’t make fun of yourself who can you make fun of? Well today I have a presentation in my International Marketing class and we’re going to kick ass. I get to be the western capitalist and say Sweatshops or as I call them Lesser Developed Country Labor Force is good! I have a few big things planned for the next few weeks of postings. That is if I ever get a chance to sit down and do it and not do school stuff. I have a few sweeps weeks things planned and some sex sells type of stuff

ARGH I need to Vent
OK, I’m posting another entry because I just because I can. Well, I want to work out and get in shape. After seeing those pics yesterday it just pisses me off. You know and it’s my own fault. For so many years I could eat anything and do what I wanted and stay in shape, for me it was thin. But not any more the older you get the more the metabolism slows down and you have to work harder keeping things in shape. Well my biggest problem is I have no clue what to do to work out. I have never worked out before and exercises to build muscle and how much weight to lift is another great mystery. I would love a work out partner but it seems unlikely right now. I need to find someone who is at GSU and can go the times I don’t have class or work. I would also love a swim partner. I want to learn butterfly better and how to do flip turns. My biggest stumbling block is not the motivation to work out but the knowledge to work out. The last time I worked out I did it regularly but had no clue what I was doing and saw no results. Anyone out there in the same boat? Or can help me out or recommend a good book on weight training for idiots or something? I’m just frustrated right now because I’m in the middle of making changes and now the “Its easier to leave things the way they are” sets in. I have to push through that and go on. I am going to do it and do things to change my life, I’m just sick of things and frustrated today. I am just like most American’s I want instant results but it doesn’t work that way. ARGH, I mean I’m burned out on school, my job has taken some major shits and I’m not sure where that’s going (I don’t talk about work here much and when I do I’ll be vague because I need to keep my job), and personal life I need more friends. I’m just tired of things and I’m where I cam because I let myself get content on just sitting on my butt. One thing I really want to change is being shy, I hate it, I am pretty fun and when you get to know me I’m the life of the party most of the times but when I’m around a group of new people I’m quiet and it takes me a while to come out my shell. I think I just need a hug today. Thanks for letting me vent.
My Weekend and Plans to Come
Ok, another weekend down and back to the routine grind. Well this weekend was full of physical activities, hey get your mind out of the gutter, there’s only room in there for mine! I had my swim work out and my softball practice Saturday. Followed by two games on Sunday. We did pretty good out there. I didn’t play the first game but played the second game. And yes I actually hit the ball. The first time up to bat, I hit the first pitch, and popped it up and the pitcher caught it, Darn it, second one was a grounder and was thrown out at first, the third time was barely a hit and I got to first, although the person on third got out, but I managed to score a run on that one. Was fun I need to get in better shape running. I also need to work on my social skills, I’m still a little shy around some of the team makes but I’m working on it. Yeah I’m shy, believe it or not. ON here I’m my usual self, but in a group of people I don’t know I calm up and I need to change that, but it don’t come over night.
I have a few things planned for this blog, and I’m instituting sweeps weeks though out the year. Yeah I’ll have some good things planned and I think you all will enjoy. But I have a ton of school work and such to do over the next few weeks, and I have really decided to start working out/exercising after seeing my pics taken this weekend.
I’ll keep you posted on softball, and my life in general and my advice and topics on dating and what ever else I feel like rambling about that day. Have great week!

Honesty.... Is that So Much?
Well a few things have happened lately that make me think over the concept of honesty in a relationship. Especially one where you’re just beginning to see someone. This came about by a friend who’s having problems with his bf, but that just inspired me, there are a few more people I know in the same boat.
Here’s my philosophy about being honest in dating. I say tell it all right up front, well with in the first few weeks, I’m not talking sit down and tell everything in a day, they’d go screaming towards the hills. But just say here is me, good, bad, ugly. I say if you do it all in the beginning then the rest is no easier.
Here is what basically it boils down to. You see a guy and he goes and hangs out with his friend or friends and you ask him did he have sex with him or one of them. And they answer no, then a few weeks or months down the line you find out they did. Why lie about it, Maybe I’m naïve but I’ve been friends with guys I’ve had sex with after the sex ended. I think others can too, but why lie about it? To me it’s not the point that I maybe worried you’re going to have sex with him, but if you liked about something like this, then what else will you lie about. I will put the whole relationship in question.
This same thing happened tome a while back but I was the one who slept with someone I was going to hang out with. He lives in Bham and I had a three way with him and his ex, I know I know trashy, but it was in my wild days. He and his ex broke up after (Yeah you know they broke up since called him an ex), he got with a new guy and moved to back to Bham. He invited me to come and learn to ride horses better. So the person I was seeing I say, Joe found me online and invited me over for the weekend to ride, and btw..um. I did a three way with him and his ex.” So I put that out there and if he had problems with it I wanted to know. Luckily he didn’t and It was ok to go but, I haven’t been yet and if you’re reading this I’m calling you tonight to set something up.
When I date someone I just want to be honest and tell them str8 up what’s going on. Because if you break up with me or we stop seeing each other it’s not going to be I wasn’t honest. I think that’s another good reason to do it up front. If you tell them and they have problems with stuff you’ve told them, it gives them a way out because different people have different “Deal Breakers.” It’s better to find those out up front then 2 or 3 years down the road.
I’m curious how you guys feel about this. I don’t mind at all people disagreeing with me. I want to hear what you think. Post comments and let me know what up!

Why the Change and I"m getting some Culture
Culture! Right now yogurt has more culture then I do (it’s a joke do you get it?, hmm). And in my never ending quest to find new friends and branch out I have come up with a great idea, if I do say so myself. Culture Day. Meaning go out and do something like Martini’s & IMAX, High Museum, Art gallery shows, Alliance Theater or something like that, and another thing for the life of me I can’t think of right now. I think It would be great, I’m sending an email to all my friends and to ask their friends to go. Heck if you’re reading this and you think, damn that’s a good idea, email me! I’ll include you on details. Also I’m open to new ideas, even road trips are welcome too.
BTW, I don’t recall if I said I joined a softball team, but It went well other then the wack in the face by the ball. But hey I’ll be remembered! I think some people would have left the field and never come back but not me, you gotta take your embarasement and turn it around. I have taken myself too seriously for WAY too long, it’s time to be that wacky out there person I am. I tried the grown up thing and being too serious ain’t me. And I’m going to do stand up, I’ve put that off for way too long, going to find out about this class this week!
Well, Have a great week I’ll write more this week.

I RECLAIM MY LIFE!
So I decided, that I need to get my ass out and do stuff and meet people so I joined the gay softball team here in ATL. Which I had my first practice today and I have fun, all except a ball to the face, knocked me down <>G but oh well. I look forward to playing. I am not that good but they say it’s all for fun.
I decided I have to make more friends and I’m going to do a lot more and be a lot more open with people. It’s hard for me to change after so many years but it’s kind of liberating at time. I just keep getting hung up that me and Wayne shared a lot of the same philosophies and ideals of dating and life but there are more guys out there. So if you’re interested get out and meet me out somewhere. I just wanted to keep you updated, well who ever reads this LOL, updated.

My Dating Philoosphy
1. Your partner should be one of your best friends, not your only best friend but one of them
2. I date one person at a time and only them, I don’t do open relationships, so monogamy is the word of the day
3. each of us should have our own group of friends. I never will ask a man to give up his friends for me. It’s not right or fair, I don’t want a man who’s entire life revolves around me. We have to be whole separate to be whole together.
4. each of us should have interests outside of the relationship. Again see above, I hate it when you do things you hate for your partner and keep doing it, I will try what ever my partner wants but if I don’t like it I will tell him, not snarky, but just sweetie I don’t like that, and if he wants to keep doing it I won’t stand in his way.
5. each should have time alone to spend with friends and on interests that the other doesn’t share. This just reflects the top two, it’s good to spend time apart, it makes time together so much better
6. There should be a balance between friends/interests and outside of each other. Like above, you have to balance time apart with time together, too much time apart is to me just as bad as too much time together.
7. If I know something before the relationship begins I’m will not criticize you or nag that the thing gets in the way (ex, knowing you travel for work and are gone 4 days a week, especially if your job make you very happy and is important to you, I respect that and won’t complain)
8. Communication is the key, I want to be able to tell my partner anything. I think my partner could tell me anything too, honest is the best, tell me before hand, even if you’re thinking of cheating, or anything I won’t get mad, well too mad, but you cant work on what you don’t acknowledge
9. Relationships are work, it doesn’t just happen. My relationship with David thought me this, I thought when you’re not arguing it should be wonderful. It’s not it usually just normal, and when things go bad you have to dig in your heels and fight for a relationship rather then just let it go
10. Sex isn’t everything but it’s something. I’m a firm believer you get freaky with your bf, and do things you wouldn’t do with a trick. I think you should constantly spice things up in the bedroom and always try new things and be open to your partners suggestions as well. We all have things that we just will never do in bed, and those should be respected but outside that it’s an open field.
This is how I feel about dating. I haven’t dated much and this may all be a pipe dream, especially the monogamy part. But this is what I want, I don’t think it’s very demanding, I think actually it’s very liberal for dating, too many gay couples I know have to spend every waking hour together and that would drive me nuts. And too many couples are in for just the good, so when something goes bad they bail, well I’m going to fight for my man and try to solve the problem. In dating when my partner has a problem I’m always like “How can we fix this” not how can YOU fix it. But to be honest I’m beginning to wonder about dating, I know plenty of people that get out of a relationship and right back in another, I just don’t open up that fast. Hell it takes me a while to get over it and move on. I’m working on opening up and being 100% honest and not hold anything back, but it’s hard to do when you have played it close to your vest for so long. Its hard but its something I have to do. Is there anyone out there who feels this way? Email me or Leave a comment

Friends Where are they? And get to know me some
I was sitting at home last night and having a pity party for myself and how I wished things would be better with W, and how I wish I had more friends and I realized, you know I can blame everyone out there but when you really get down to it it’s my fault for a lot of what’s happened. I’ve never been an open person, and the blog is a good way to really put things out there that I don’t have the balls to just come right out and say, I guess you can be anonymous to some degree. But, I sit at home, get on AOL and what do I do? Nothing, in the past I have met some really good people off AOL but lately it’s just one big trick line, I was going to try Gay.com but that’s even worse, every time I get on to chat it’s 100% sex, which don’t get me wrong, but sex isn’t what I’m after right now. In my 20’s I had my share of sex, more then most people have in alife time and I did it for stupid reasons. But it’s done and I was a slut, there I said it. But now that I’m in my 30’s I realized times I wasted friendship possibilities, used people and just was a typical young gay man. And if anyone out there is reading this and I dicked you over back then I apologize. You learn with age. But I’m in the market for new friends. Which is hard to find, I don’t know if it’s just Atlanta or gay world in general, but why can’t gay guys be friends without having sex? I think it’s possible and my 4 good friends, Mike and Todd, Joe and Brent and I have never had sex. I also realized I have more friends then I thought too, my friends in Athens Will and Robert, two really great guys and I ran into David in Birmingham (who’s going to teach me to ride horses, um real ones, get your mind out of the gutter) and My ex David. Who for the longest time I had bad feelings for but now we have patched things up, and lastly is my first ex Chris, who our paths keep crossing so I think that tells us we’re meant to be friends.
What am I looking for in friends? Well, just every day normal laid back guys. I’m not a big bar person, I never have been. I would love friends into working out and athletic activities, I want to get in shape, first off for totally vain reasons but secondly we have a history of diabetes and other health problems in my family so I think it’s better to get started now rather then wait and pay for consequences later. I also would like friends who camp or something. Basically ones you can get together, cook dinner, drink hang out and talk about everything, where no part of your life is off limits and there are no judgments. One of the best things I ever did was a version of Truth and Dare but with out the dares. You ask a question and you go around and everyone answers it. It can be just a regular question, sex, or anything. That was fun I would love to have friends that are open to things like that. But like I said I am my biggest block to new friends. I hold back and don’t’ tell a lot about me, and I’m trying to change and I have changed a lot, I just feel if I open up most people will think I’m a freak and such because I’ve never had that truly best friend, the one you tell everything too. I knew I was gay at an early age and I’ve let that hold me back a lot, I was always like “if they find out I’m gay they will reject me or hate me” which we all know is total crap. I’m not saying that won’t happen but a lot more people are open gays then ever before. I have to stop making excuses and I am trying to do that, so don’t get this as a pity party for me it’s not, I’m just explaining why I do things.
I want to get out and make friends but the question is where do you go? I think I may join a softball team or something. I like to swim but I’m not sure about the team here. I just have to break out the southern voice and see what activities are out there. And I have to be myself and not what I think people want me to be. I just sit at home and do nothing. And unless there is a gay door to door salesman coming around I won’t meet anyone sitting there, and on AOL. A few of my friends are leaving AOL and I don’t think I’m going to do that just yet, I have friends on there and it’s cheaper then long distance, and yeah I still have hope I’ll meet some guys off it, a pipe dream or what?
Well if you’re in Atlanta and looking for a new friend, Send me an email or IM. I’m at timothymgol@earthlink.net or gatallcowboy@earthlink.net. IM’s are AIM: GATallCowboy and Yahoo GATallCowboy.
By the way I’m promoting my blog finally, I posed it on a site and we’ll see maybe someone will read this finally! Man what I wouldn’t do for a comment, heck a few comments.
Have a good one, but this is hopefully a new beginning for me!

Life, Love and Relationships
If any of you know me you know I was very excited with my date with W, no not the president. Well he came to town and it was weird, have you ever had one of those dates where you don’t know how it went. It had moments of being good and others of being bad? That was my date. Things did turn up, we took a pic together, he invited me to visit him, and he called me cowboy when I left, so those are all good things. I hopefully will see him online today and talk. I sent him an email and the pic of us together. I”ll keep you posted on it…
Moving on, but this whole experience with W has made me realize that I’ve been holding myself back for so long about dating. I’m not the kind of person who has to date someone to be happy, In the words of Whitney Houston, who should follow the advice of her own song “I’d rather be a lone then unhappy.” I have known many gay couples who are just not happy together, and they just stay I don’t get it, even with a house and stuff together I’d rather sell the house and be a good whole person rather then a fragmented one. I’m not the typical gay guy on relationships, which brings me to the reason for this blog entry, my philosophy on dating.
Well, I think too many guys go into dating with their little heads rather then the big head. Most guys I know go straight for the physical rather then the mental. I’m much more a mental person, I like a guy I can talk to and if he can make me laugh as is a quick witted as I am, he’s so in. I’m a big kid at heart and since I’m 34 I don’t think that will be changing so I’d need a guy who finds that attractive. But back to my philosophy. I think your boyfriend should be one of your best friends. Not your only best friend but one of them. I think you should base the relationship on a strong solid friendship that will grow over time. This also includes the dreaded M word in the gay world. MONOGOMY. I just don’t get the whole open relationship thing, I’m not knocking it to guys who do it and it works but I don’t want it. I’m selfish with my man and don’t’ like to share him. And the main reason its good is there is too much stuff going around, HIV, STD’s and the like and more and more resistant ones are being found, so I just want one to not worry about getting anything from. But moving on, I also like a man who’s not codependent, there is nothing I can stand less then a guy who can’t be on his own. I like an independent man, one where we can both have out own lives and interests and do them away from each other but also share our lives. I’ve never been a jealous guy, I like for my guy to have a life and friends outside of me, and I think it’s good to spend time apart, because not matter how much alike you are there are always things you like to do that your partner will hate and why should you give them up completely once you date? I mean you won’t do them all the time but you should be able to do them from time to time. For example if you like hiking or camping you should be able to go. Also there are things you do with your friends you may not like or your bf may have friends you don’t like, I’ve never told anyone who they could be friends with and if there are no issues, such as trust, lies being told or being bitchy, I won’t mind who he’s friends with. And they should spend time together.
I hope this makes sense, I’m going on little sleep and prob not making sense. But oh well. I’ve been reading other blogs and one guy who has impressed me is Boy Briefs. He’s one of a few people thinking of giving up blogging, but he’s changed his life, I thought he was a circuit guy and all that goes with it, but with his last few entries, he seems like a nice guy. Not to mention he has a thing for undies too, I need to email him. He lives in ATL as well. I’ve been reading a few others and maybe mine will catch on soon. I gotta write more in this thing.
As for shows, I’ve been watching but not writing, I taped (no Tivo yet) West Wing last night and survivor tonight. I did go undie shopping Tues night to do some retail therapy, got some great ones at Ross. A thong, bikini, brief and tight boxer brief, yeah I said it, I’m trying it.
Oh well, I’m out here in the north 40 talking to myself as usual!
Have a great one

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
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
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!
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
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!

Insurance and Workout partner the West Wing and other Must See TV!
Speaking of loosing, my work out partner has joined LA Fitness, so we’ll see if that goes off as planned. After this cr*p with the insurance I surely don’t have enough money to join anywhere. I don’t remember if I wrote about this or not, if so you’ll have to suffer again. I hope we can figure something out. If not I will go next week by myself. Such is life right.
But my favorites show was on tonight, my really can’t miss show on right now. The West Wing. The writing has definitely changed since Sorkin left; it’s a lot darker I think. These next few weeks will be an interesting one. Who will take over for Martin Sheen, and I’m not really happy with the MS story line right now but they didn’t ask me. They do however live up to the “Season of Change” they promised at the beginning. Donna Left, and tonight we found out she went to work for the VP campaign, Josh Left to go to Jimmy Smitts Campaign, Leo had a heart attack, but maybe coming back, and well I still love the show. I just got done watching the first three seasons on DVD, I got the third at Sam’s cheap, and then got the first two from Amazon for cheap too, I’m ready for season 4 to come out, it should be around may or so for that. I just hope that West Wing lives up to what it has; I will say that this season is better then last, and I hope they keep getting better. I can see if Jimmy Smitts gets the presidency Josh could be Chief of Staff, but will be an interesting season for sure.
My other show I watch, Survivor, I know no comments please, doesn’t start up till February I read so I have some time to kill. I hope this next season is better then this last, I hated the whole men vs. women thing. They need to keep them mixed up and would be much more interesting. I did hear that Survivor: Outback comes out in March! The last must see show is Las Vegas, love that show, the first season came out on DVD and I have to get it, but with my insurance probs, it won’t be this week I bet.
I love this thing and I will promise to write more in it, not sure anyone reads it at all. But I’ll keep writing till I get tired of it.

Work, Holidays and School
I did how ever start my own yahoo group. I’ve been the prince of porn for my friends and now instead of sending things out to individual people, I can send it all out at once and hopefully have friends email stuff in too. But time will tell on that one. My friend Will posted some pics, and Don emailed some. So it’s going pretty good. I hope I have something interesting to tell soon.
I start school next week and I’m one year from graduating. I gotta get involved with the AMA. But the big thing pissing me off this week is my insurance, they are d*cking me around. Too much go into right now. But you know I’ll keep you posted

Underwear, Underwear, Underwear and I'm beat
I decided that I needed some new sexy undies. I think I managed to do that. I was in Rich’s in Lenox and I was surprised, underwear is going back to colors and all tight and getting skimpy. About time. We need colors and nice material. Glad to see the turn around.
I also changed the comments section of the blog to let anyone post not just members of blogger do it. So feel free to post your heart away.
My final is over and very happy but next semester I’ll be slammed, 3 classes and working full time.
I’m not in the mood to write but needed to update. I’llt try to do it again on Sat or Sunday.
Cya and post comments early and often.

Porn Burner oh I mean CD Burner and Str8 Boys and Underwear
Well on to more interesting things. I was wondering do str8 guys get into underwear too? I have met a lot of bi guys lately as you know and one of them I have known for a while but didn’t realize he was bi. I asked him about if women like bikinis on guys and he said most don’t notice. Another bi guy I met is in one of the yahoo groups I’m in and he said his girlfriend loved him to wear thongs on the beach in Miami. So this got me thinking. Are there guys out there into underwear, Speedos and spandex? I’ve chatted with guys online and also yahoo groups that say they were str8 but you never know. It is online. Have any of you met str8 guys and I mean totally str8 that were into bikinis and such? I know there have got to be guys into underwear that are str8. Bi guys I can see getting into undies because you can get other guys to wear them too. My bi buddy who I’ve had for a while, who I will call Chris (No not his real name and not even close) he truly likes both men and women and he looks great in gear. I was a little disappointed when he said most women don’t care what underwear you wear. It’s just all very interesting to me. I wish I could do some sort of study on guys and underwear. Figure out what str8 guys wear, gay and bi guys. Would be very interesting I think. I think there are more guys out there who wear bikinis but just won’t say so to their friends or anyone. I think they have gotten a stigma of being too gay. And a str8 guy won’t wear them, so he’ll wear boxers and fit it. But I have seen and heard that str8 guys wear boxer but a lot wear something under them like briefs or something. Makes you think.
Another thing I heard from a guy I used to talk to in Boston that he knew some str8 guys that wore thongs. Yeah thongs. Hmm, I know that boxers are on their way out but are we going back the other way? To the way it used to be in the 80’s? When bikinis were more in style and boxers were frowned upon? I hope so. But like everything it goes in cycles and us gay boys will keep the underwear makers in business. Ok guys let me hear from you about this topic. Make some comments and such! Email me, let me know I ain’t talking to the wall LOL

OH MY ACHING TOE and Bi Guys
Lately for some reason I have been meeting a lot of bi guys. I don’t know what is it. I’m not talking those confused bi guys, I mean guys that enjoy having fun with both sexes and have had sex with both in recent times (meaning at least a month) I also found out someone I know who’s big into gear is bi. I never knew it. Sorta took me by surprise. Not that I have a thing against bi guys. But it’s cool, I have found most of the guys I’ve met are laid back and easy going. I’m really tired of gay guys and their drama and stuff. Recently I have talked to or met 6 bi guys. What really surprises me most is they are cool with both and talk about guys and girls with the same type of interest. And some of these the gf/wife knew and was cool. So I guess the world is changing. Has anyone else noticed this lately or am I just a bi guy magnet?
I have a few topics I will be talking about in the next few days. I hope some of you will post comments on the site! Have a great one!
