Cheesy

by Moby — Categories: humor — 16 Comments

I overheard a really cheesy pick up line leaving Starbucks today. It was pretty obvious the guy used it at an attempt to be humorous. The other guy obviously knew him as he laughed.

Guy1: How have you been?

Guy 2: I am ok, good to see you.

Guy 1: You too. Have I ever told you I have an itch that only you can scratch?

Guy 2: *laughs*

It was funny but clearly not a really a good pick up line. lol One of my favorites has always been:

Me: Do you have any cajun in ya?

You: No

Me: Do you want one?

What is one of your favorites?

scarf, scarf!

by Moby — Categories: hmmmm? — 8 Comments

I’ve been picking up my lunches from this new health food to go place in the hood called Lilah Belle’s. They are kind enough to give me a 30% discount thru work so I am saving money and eating much better. I always seemed to end up ordering out from work. The latter, while tasty, is not the healthiest and that shit adds up!

Anyway, lately I can’t seem to stop eating. Besides craving candy, my eating has increased quite a bit. I usually eat about 4 meals a day.¹ Recently, I’ve been going thru 5-6 meals a day. To be fair, I consider large snacks a meal too. My weight isn’t really fluctuating much so I’m assuming I’m just burning thru the calories.

My ‘preggars’ post was in total jest but now I’m really wondering. I assumed originally the drastic increase was from doing more cardio. Overall, I don’t mind so much as long as my pant size doesn’t go up, even if it is a bit perplexing.

Eating smaller meals more often is much healthier for you. [↩]

Goose Pimples

by Moby — Categories: chance encounter, me — 20 Comments

Yours truly, met someone new today! I know, surprise! heh heh

While I don’t have a set type, I do have an affinity for guys that look rough on the outside and soft on the inside. I ran into a guy at the gym today who I think fits that mold to a T. lol Actually, I ran into him in the steam room. No, nothing happened. Well, not exactly. We broke the cardinal room of steam rooms, we talked! lol I got the distinct pleasure of watching one old codger get all huffy and storm out. But I digress…

I’ve seen him a few times before but being significantly more muscular than I am, I didn’t really think I’d be his type. Apparently, I might be wrong. He is about my height, muscled, hairy, several tattoos, bald head, and a very nice smile.¹ Yeah, that sounds hot and he was but the most significant (and endearing) thing about him was his frank and open demeanor, a trait I find very attractive in others. And frankly, it is a bit hard to find in a city like SF. I often sort of reign myself in when meeting someone new as I can be a little intense sometimes. I didn’t really feel the need while we were chatting and he seemed just as at ease. ²

Never being the shy one, I gave him my card and he said he’d get in touch. I know how that goes. I’m always of the mind nothing ventured, nothing gained. Well, true to his word, he emailed me and we are supposed to hang out this weekend.

Wish me luck!?

a nice smile gets me every time! [↩]
Am I swooning? lol Ok, ok, I thought he was hot too! [↩]

Smile, You is on Camera

by Moby — Categories: me, video — 5 Comments

Here is my first video of the new year. Its a bit longer (15megs) so the load time might be a little sluggish on a slower connection. You can also download (right click and hit “save target or save link as” option).

I discovered if you are still using IE, the vid won’t load in the window. You can blame MS for being so lame as to not support industry standard code.

WWMD (What Would Moby Do?)

by Moby — Categories: hmmmm?, wwmd — 12 Comments

I figured out what was going on with the pics. It was a plugin. I didn’t tinker with it but I did upgrade it yesterday. It is the same plugin that allows me to restrict certain posts to regsitered users. After pulling my hair (yeah, my hair) out for a couple hours this morning, I found the offending code and snipped it. Anyway, on to today’s post.

Over the years, I seem to have developed a rather consistent following of lurkers.¹ I routinely get requests for advice, how-to, what-ifs, etc from this same group. Being very open about my sexuality its often adult stuff but not always. I figured why not start sharing? heehee Anonymous of course, don’t want to embarrass anyone. I’ll try to do one every month but don’t get your knickers in a twist if I miss one. Welcome to the very first WWMD!

Today’s question actually came in from several different readers so I figured it would be a good start.

Q: How do you tell a guy you are not interested in him sexually? Or, how do you tell a guy you’ve been with once you aren’t interested in a repeat session.

A: I’m a big believer in honesty. I find honesty to be the best policy in so many ways. And while not always well-received at first, anyone worth their salt will respect you for it. Plus, it does away with extended drama, uncomfortable exchanges later, and/or awkward public meetings. You don’t have to be rude or ugly but you also don’t have to let the awkwardness or fear of alienation trick you into taking a less-honorable route.

It may take a few attempts until you get the wording/phrasing down right as to not come off as rude. You can even start out with telling the person you wanna be honest. Don’t mislead the other person especially if they are “fishing”.²

This allows you to avoid being “the bad guy” or having to put up with someone else’s issues. Being respectfully honest puts any issues squarely back in the other persons lap. I know that sounds a bit callous but very relevant unfortunately. And let me be frank, anyone who gets angry or irritated at you for being honest probably isn’t worth your time anyway.

The other side of the coin is you might make a friend. I’ve actually made several friends thru “encounters” that either didn’t go as planned or didn’t happen at all. One particular friend comes to mind, I truly would have regretted not getting to know him.

So there you have it. The first official WWMD! How’d I do?

Error

by Moby — Categories: blogs — 1 Comment

Apparently there is some sort of error with the image loads on my blog. I haven’t tinkered with the blog so I have no idea what is causing it.

I’m checking into it.

*Update – I think I discovered the problem*

Preggars

by Moby — Categories: humor — 11 Comments

I think I might be pregnant. I’ve been craving a wide variety of foods lately but specifically candy. I rarely eat candy beyond the weekly Hot Cookie venture. Lately, I can’t seem to satisfy my sweet tooth. Today’s sugary indulgence involved half a box of chocolate covered cherries.

I got one of those home pregnancy thing-a-ma-jigs, the plus and negative sign both lit up when I passed it thru my stream. I wonder what that means? I went to the doc but he couldn’t help me. He did the whole feeling-my-testicles and fingers-up-the-bum-then-cough sort of routine. He didn’t really give me any results though.¹

My cardio has increased so I’m wondering if that might be it. Can you get pregnant from doing too much cardio? God, I hope not. I so can’t afford a kid right now. I mean come on, besides work, random trips to bb’s, and getting my hooves clipped and polished, I just don’t have money for a mini-Moby.

What am I going to do if I am? Should I get an abort-shun? Do they sell a home kit for that too? I could always give it up for adoption. I was adopted and look how well it turned out for me. *innocent smile*

Oh well, I guess I’ll figure something out. I have to finish a chocolate almond bar, throw up, and pick out baby names.²

I think I need a new dentist [↩]
Yes, this post was written in jest. I’m just being silly over my recent sweet tooth [↩]

Oh No He Dinnn’t!

by Moby — Categories: cranky, drama, work — 12 Comments

Wow, all the comments on the last post were great! I didn’t realize so many people would comment. heh heh It was great reading all the stories. Thanks to everyone who shared.

I had a bit of a rough week. Work wasn’t overly busy but the drama over the City’s budget deficit continues. Not surprisingly, the City is facing one of the largest budget shortfalls in its entire history.¹ I’ll be the first to admit the City’s paryoll is significant. SF has 1 civil servant for every 5 citizens. That is a lot by any standard. I’m grateful to have a job so I won’t bore you with all the stuff they are trying to take away from us. And while I’d never support anyone getting laid off, it may come to that. My department is somewhat immune to layoffs but it isn’t written in stone. Its gonna get uglier for sure.

On top of that, the land my dad left my brothers and I has hit yet another snag. I’m not sure why I’m surprised but this one is a doozy. So much so, it may take us years to resolve it. Ugh. Blood-suckng attorneys and their double-speak really pisses me off too. Why can’t they just speak frakin’ English! So now,not only am I broke but I have no equity to show for it. Lovely.

As if my own drama wasn’t enough, my soon-to-be ex roomie has been irritating the hell out of me. He can’t manage his finances for shit and has been dragging me along for the ride. He hasn’t even paid rent yet and had the fucking audacity to ask me for money! We had a few “words”. On the off-hand chance he doesn’t move, it is time for another come-to-Jesus meeting when he gets back. I’m done giving him breaks. He can either start pulling his own weight or get out. And if he does move, I’ve decided to proceed with finding another roomie.

And to top it all off, the weather has been down right shitty today. Oh well, I guess we do need the rain, even if it is a bummer. I’m doing lunch and a movie w/my buddy Juan tomorrow to take my mind off things.

The state isn’t doing so well either. [↩]
