Done

Driving

Random shot of me driving. 

 

Ok so I’m done tinkering with the blog. [1]Well, there are a couple of minor bugs I still need to iron out.  The big sitemeter drama this past week was a blessing in disguise.  It forced me to update my template to a newer version.  The code on this one is simpler and better organized.  I also converted all my personal tweaks to widgets instead of manually tinkering with the code.  Well, everything except the pop-up comments.  I didn’t quite get that working correctly.  I got close but the glitch is simply beyond my knowledge base and I haven’t a clue how to fix it.  I guess I’ll have to settle w/page reloads for comments.

Last week was my change of watch at work.  I only got Saturday off.  I spent the evening playing Soul Caliber IV w/Adam and Brad.  It is sort of an updated version of the old Mortal Combat game.  Anyway, the game has a unique unlock function.  After you get so many skill points, you can choose to have the characters strip down to their undies while they fight. [2]You just know a gay guy had a hand in the code for this game.  I had a blast.  We played games, gossiped, and gorged on pizza. 

This week has been a bit hectic.  I’ve had a slew of Union meetings to catch up on at work.  Not to mention catching up on domestic chores at home.  Ugh.  Today was my first real day back in the gym.  I loved it!  Now that I’m back on my old schedule, I plan on getting back on track w/my weight loss program.  Remember my plan to get lean?  Well, I fell off the wagon.  Mostly, because of my schedule.  I know, excuses, excuses.  Anyway, I’m back at it, cut me some slack.  And lord knows, the weight I got ain’t hurtin’ me none.

Comment Away

So I think I FINALLY figured out how to convert my comments to a popup box. Feel free to leave a comment and test it out for me.

If you have trouble feel free to email me at blogs [at] sfmoby [dot] us. *Change the brackets to the appropriate symbol for email of course!

Well, as it turns the comments were only working if you weren’t logged in as user. SHITE! Back to the drawing board.

I Didn’t Do It!

For some unknown reason, Internet Explorer has suddenly decided not to load my blog correctly. I wasn’t tinkering at all. I swear! Until I can figure it out, I’ve switched to a bland theme.

*update* As luck would have it, the creator of my template has finally updated it after all this time. I’ve loaded the new version. I plan on widgetizing this one instead of manually tinkering with the code. this will make future changes much easier to handle. I’m also hoping the updated code will allow for some other changes I’ve been trying to make. Stay tuned!

Victim or Fraud?

*Let me make it very clear, my rant today is about my views in general.  I will not tolerate bashing anyone.  Comments regarding the situation referenced need to be in a respectful format, whether you agree or not.  Anything to the contrary will be deleted.*

Many of you may have heard of the recent scandal to blow thru the blogosphere.  If you haven’t here is a quick summation.

  • Blog named Coopers Corridor was about a gay firefighter with adopted kids blogging about the challenges and joys of raising children as a gay man.
  • Blog owner ends blog after a vicious attack by email/posts.
  • Blogosphere expresses outrage over the attacks.
  • Blog turns out to be completely false.  Cooper is not a gay man but in fact a person claiming to be transgendered.  Children are non-existent.  Huge chunks of the blog came from another woman’s blog about her children. 

All caught up?  Good, moving on.  While not overly involved in this latest incident, I have fallen prey to such antics in the past. [1]I’m sure you long time readers know exactly what I’m referring to.  I’ve also seen innocent people get drawn into said fallouts.  People who were often innocent bystanders and who were so dismayed by the downright nastiness of others, they gave up blogging all together.  Hell, I’ve even been accused of being a fake myself. [2]The pesky hundreds of bloggers who have met me sort of dispelled that rumor. heehee

Not the MAC version.  I am referring to yours truly.

Airplane Moby

I have no idea what possessed me to snap a shot in the airplane bathroom but it just seemed like a good idea.  My lovely phone cam is such high quality, can you tell? 

As I mentioned earlier, the flights down were a tad stressful wondering if I was gonna make it but all went fine.  Phoenix overall was great.  The short description, hot and sticky.  I also got to meet a new blog buddy, Brent, who I’ve been supporting/chastising for almost a year now.  It took the act of Congress to drag Brent out to Charlie’s.  Frank and I discovered it was his birthday weekend and were determined not to let him sulk at home. 

Needless to say, I had a blast. lol  Frank immediately ran into one of his friends named Steve.  The man was the epitome of big hairy, muscular, beefy bear.  He got a big WOOF!  While him and Frank flirted, I was left to my own devices.  A rather tall, lean fuzzy dude kept eye-balling me and before long he came over and said "hi". [1]By hi, I mean I put my tongue down his throat for about 10-15 minutes  Being a good friend, I wasn’t about to abandon my group so we arranged for some quality time later.  Of which, he flaked on.  I’d already gotten the idea he might be a bit high maintenance but a hard cock has no conscience. [2]yes, you can borrow that

Frank was feeling better and we did make it to the gym one day.  The gym was one of the Q gyms that 24 Hour Fitness gobbled up.  The Q gyms have the exact same layout no matter where you go.  I have to say, Phoenix has its share of hotties.  The crowd was very mixed with several juicy tidbits for Frank and I to drool over.  That said, I can report the shower and steam room was nothing like SF.  A practical wasteland of emptiness.  Well that is not exactly true.  There were plenty of old trolls lurking in the steam room but just not the gay kind. 

Frank opted to drive me around a bit.  I doubt I’d ever move to Phoenix but not a bad City overall.  Next time, I’d like to get in some hiking and outdoor stuff for sure.

Home

I’m home from Texas.  I had some drama last night and ended up getting virtually no sleep.  Karma and friends came to the rescue and all is well again. 

Anyway, I’m tired.  Updated some pics to flickr.  I’ll give the nitty gritty later.  Lots and lots to tell.

The trip is winding down. I was taking pics full swing until the damn camera battery died. I uploaded a few so far. Once I get home, I’ll push the rest online for all to see.

Here I am last night with the birfday boy. He hit the big 4-0. Needless to say, missy got blitzed out of his mind. lol I, being the designated driver, had to drive him home and put him to bed. What are friends for right?

Anyway, overall the trip has been good. Several interesting realizations have come up. All good stuff mind you. I’ll be fleshing it out later.

Anyway, I’m off to a pool party with the old man.

Phoenix

I’m sitting in the Phoenix airport waiting for my flight back to Houston.  The trip down was uneventful if a little stressful.  TFA allows me to fly on his benefits so I get to fly for dirt cheap however, I fly stand by.  The other downer is I have to fly thru the airline’s hub.  This meant flying from SFO to HOU and back to PHX.  Considering how much it saved me in cash, I didn’t mind at all. [1]And yes, I plan on showing him my gratitude in person

Flying standby is a tad nerve racking as you are never quite sure till the last minute if you are going to make a full flight.  Both my flights coming in were full.  The SFO to HOU flight, I made it only because the desk clerk was family [2]read gay and liked my look. (If you got it, work it.)  He boosted another passenger to first class which freed up a coach seat for moi.  Very nice of him. Two of the flight attendants were men. [3]read gay, again  The Latin one practically fell over himself flirting with me.  I was sure to text TFA afterwards and ask him what was up with all the slutty flight attendants. hehehe  

The 2nd flight was overbooked but a connecting flight was late so I once again lucked out.  I even got a seat w/extra leg room.  All of the flight crew were women so nothing to report.

My buddy Frank had hurt his back so we couldn’t do a lot but he was feeling better and we still managed to have a good time.  Apparently, Phoenix was overcast this past weekend so the temps only got into the frigidly low 100’s.

Frank & Brent @ Pei Wei

I did get a chance to meet fellow blogger and twitter buddy, Brent.  I’m not sure why he is so reserved or shy.  He warmed up to us quickly and was very engaging.  That said, Frank and I had to practically threaten him with bodily harm to get him to go out with us.  It was his birthday weekend (be sure to hop over and wish him a happy belated) and we were determined NOT to let him sit home and hide out.  Finally, he relented and we ended up at Charlie’s (Country Western bar).  Frank ran into one of his friends who was this short, buff, and hairy hottie, aka Steve.  Steve gives new meaning to the term WOOF! 

I managed to make a new ‘friend’ of my own  hehehe  Actually, he started it, I just finished it.  I’m not really sure why everyone seemed so surprised when we started kissing.  I mean, I did wait 15 minutes into the conversation to mug out.  That has to be a record or something. 

I could write more but it will have to wait.  My flight is here and there are 3 hairy hotties getting on board.  Since I’m standby, I get to board last.  I am determined to get a seat next to one of them.
