Blogger Sightings!

In a rare indulgence, I’m just finished gorging myself on pizza and ice cream. Non-fat ice cream at that.. hehehe Now, Im just kicking back to enjoy a movie, Transporter 2 w/the holy hot Jason Statham. Besides being an incredible marshal arts expert, he is fantastically handsome. There is a scene in part 2 where he walks out of his house in just a tshirt and jeans. Yet the silhoutte of his muscles against the clothing is very erotic. Ok, I’m in a mood now.
Hottie!

In the blogworld, Bratt from Beyond Buffalo did call and we got together for a quick lunch this past week. He brought his friend Karen w/him. We didn’t get much time as I had to head off to work. It was nice to see him (and her) and catch up. I keep telling him he should move here. Maybe one of these days he’ll listen to me.

The same day I ran into Viktor from V-hold. I got such a giggle because I didn’t know it was him at first and was checking out his boo-tay. hehehe. I’m sure he’ll forgive me.

Today, I met Chad from stop touching my food. Chad and I are participating in Large Tony’s shirt around the world project. Besides that, we had a great time. We were all over the map with conversations. Tony being the prime subject for quite a while. All good mind you.

Mirror Mirror

I couldn’t think of of a catchier title, cut me some slack. And I’m feeling a bit long-winded so grab a cup a joe.

Events as of late seem to be conspiring to make me take an outside view of myself. Let me preface with this statement. I’ve been kinda popular in the past two weeks. Guys have been crawling out of the woodwork. Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m liking it. The point is these events have forced me to re-examine my self-image.

Encounter 1 involved a guy I’ve seen around town for years. Continue reading Mirror Mirror

Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes. The birthday went off pretty well. I got to see some friends in town from back home, which was very nice. (Now, if they’d only leave, I’m worn out.) I also got to be naughty. So all and all, it was good.

So today’s rant involves online profiles. It’s amazing what you can interpret about a person not from what they say but how they say it. Having been online for years and years, I’ve gleaned some knowledge that might be helpful. Look at it as a way to invite less drama into your life.

Here goes. . . my top 10 do’s and don’ts of having a succesful profile. (Whether it be for sex or just dating) Take it as you will . . .

1) Handle rejection. First off and most important, if you can’t handle rejection you probably shouldn’t be online. Unless you are desperate for just anyone, it is unrealistic to expect every person will be your match or that you are match for everyone. Attraction has to be a two way street for it to work.

2) Be specific. If you are looking for something, say as much. If you have a characteristic or fetish you’re into then make sure it’s included. Don’t use subjective terms. I often see terms like “looking for real men”. That could mean anything to any number of men. Duh! Also skip terms like “vgl or “hot”. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While you may consider yourself “vgl”, others may not. Let your pictures speak for your looks.

Light In The Loafers

Wow, everyone chopping at the bit for details. hehehe

My date sleepover went very well. Very well indeed. (What you think old tramp like me wouldn’t get some too?..phffftt!) hehehe. Seriously, NM is a sweet guy and I enjoy hanging out w/him. Besides being fun in the sack (yeah, that’s all you’re getting), he is also very thoughtful. His smile lights up his face when he laughs and you know what a sucker I am for a great smile. More importantly, he ‘gets’ me. That’s really the best way I can explain it. We seem to have similar mental processes which is kinda cool.

Where do we go from here you ask? Well, I’m not looking to repeat my mistakes of the past so no abrupt changes anytime soon. I think we’ll keep seeing each other but my life, while not overly complicated, is quite tied up w/my schedule for at least 6 more months. I’m enjoying the extra attention while I can. For a change, I seem to be the focus which is odd for me. While I love attention, I typically make the other person feel like they are the focus. I like the role reversal for a change.

Abruptly changing topics, I got a call from the ex today. Apparently, someone broke into their new place and stole all their jewelry and computers. I helped him w/what to do to get a police report, etc. The really depressing part is they stole a Tiffiany’s bracelet I gave him for a 2nd Christmas together. I was sorta sad about that. Not my problem anymore though.

Oh, and NM is coming over tonight to watch the new season of Stargate SG1 & Atlantis w/me. He gets brownie points for putting up w/my scifi habit.

Not So Blech

In other news, due to the lovely rain yesterday, I didn’t get jack done. So today, I’m running around like crazy getting stuff done before the date tonight. I got over to the doc’s office to drop off my DMV forms only to discover they closed early today. The nerve!

I had planned to get some shopping in but that didn’t happen either. I need some necessity items for the apartment. Oh well, what’s another week w/o tiolet paper? (j/k)

I’m excited about the date tonight. I’m so giddy, I feel like a school boy who just got his first pair of long pants. You’d think by now, I’d be over such things. Apparently not. *g*

Blech

I rained all freaking day, so much for my grand trek to get all my errands done. I did manage to drag my carcass into the gym so all is not lost. I’m hoping the weather relents enough tomorrow enough to get some things done.

The bright spot in my day was a nice long chat w/the sexy guy from yesterday. We are going out tomorrow on a date. Imagine it, me on a date. What’s it been? Eight months since the last one . . .that sound about right. I’m excited.

At this point, I’m starkly reminded of my last dating episode and how it fizzled. However, being freshly broken from my breakup, I think I’m on better footing this time. Let’s see how it goes.

*Sigh*

Snapped off a couple of pics from work today, bad lighting and all.

Me looking mean. (yeah right) I hate the way the light shadows my face…I look like a hag.

Work is slow thankfully. Not much going on today due to the muggy weather. The one good thing about icky weather, it keeps the drama down. 518’s are up (car accidents) but overall the day is slow. Bad weather or not, tomorrow night is gonna be fucked regardless. I’ll probably get mandatoried to stay over. And speaking of…

My date for New Years had to cancel. It’s ok though, he has a lot on his plate right now and won’t make it back to SF in time. I wouldn’t be a very nice person if I blamed him. However, his allowances are running out! hehehe.

Me looking a little happier, ( I think). (Another w/bad lighting…what was I thinking? silly faggot)

In blog news, I’ve given up on converting my blog to the other template. Every time I get it tweaked, I discover another flaw that causes a cascading effect. The template creator got table happy and there are so many tables, I keep getting lost. Frankly, I’m just tired of dickin w/it. Instead, I plan to design one from scratch. I really like the tab look on Andrew’s Moblog. I think I might go w/something similar. I also like large T’s photo links to his favorite blogs. No changes anytime soon though. More blogroll links coming as well. My blogrolling is way up lately. Another task to add to the list. Course, I can’t let such pesky tasks interfer w/my quality goofing-off time.

Lunch is over. Ciao

Oh What Fresh Hell…

This entry marks the end of a very loooong drawn out day. Not only did I pull 12 hours but everyone was cranky. Add to that lots of goin’s-on in the city. A carjacking (211cj), a stabbing (219), a shooting (217), a lady backed over a homeless guy (519 ped), and to top it all off, I got a lovely caller who felt the need to remind me her taxes pay my salary (800). Well it ain’t enough! (How’s that for good grammar?) And her gripe was over kids playing in the park…playing in the park! I’m like be frelling glad they aren’t tagging your house lady! Anyway, I’m glad this day is over. I had originally planned to go out but I guess I’m getting old. I’m too pooped to party.

In other news, my ex called while I’m at work. He was in an accident on the freeway. He was ok but needed help on what to do. I was a bit short but offered up the needed assistance. Afterwards, I felt a bit guilty so I called him back and made sure he was really ok and that he got the necessary help. Freeways are CHP jurisdiction but I’m a control freak at work, I admit it. I only mention it as it segways me into my last bit of drama for the day.

**Oh, and you might wanna skip this part. I so hate when people drag out their dramatic break-ups so I won’t resent you if you skip it. However, this is more about what I’ve learned from it than the break-up itself.**

I made a comment to a co-worker in passing about the ex calling and he said something that reduced me to tears. He doesn’t read my blog and he’ll probably never know the effect he had on me today. That said, I am truly grateful for his thoughtfulness. It really helped solidy my belief in myself and my actions. So after our very brief conversation he took the time to write to me thru the terminals and say,

“…w/o really knowing what happened, I know you and I know whatever he did he probably deserved it. You are a compassionate and gentle creature.”

This from a straight guy who used to be a cop. Not exceptionally known for his overt kind nature. You wouldn’t believe such a small statement could reduce me to tears. I was so bloody blubbery I had to take a break! (This conversation occured via computer terminals) If you are one of my few regular readers you know I tried really hard thru the whole dramatic break-up to be the better man. And here is a person who doesn’t know any of the details of my life and he totally gets it. He totally get’s what I’ve been going thru w/o even knowing it. The blind understanding of his comment just pushed me over the edge. I got all blurry-eyed and had to take a moment to collect myself. It was so “Elizabeth Taylor” I’m giggling now. However, at the time it was a very defining moment.

And w/that blog fans, stick a fork in me cause I’m done! It’s been an emotional day. No phones, no friends. Just me w/my feet up in front of the Tivo.

Ciao!

Moving On

As often occurs, life goes on. The mood today at work was much better and people were moving beyond their grief to fond memories. Myself included. I’m w/o a trainee today so work was blissfully quiet. I was on Fire side most of the day so very little work. Did some minor maintenance on the BCC site but then got annoyed w/the committee chair over his unilateral decision making. What is the point of having a committee if only one person gets input? I’m probably just agitated from such a draining week. Maybe I’ll see it better next week. Cause right now I’m PISSED!

Not much else to say today really. I have a potential date coming up soon. I’m excited about it, more details later.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star…

On a happier note, I got my TB (Tuberculosis) test this week. I had to get it done for my certification. Here is my pretty star I got. lol

Pretty!

My doc is gay and his assistant is this incredibly charming and funny English PA. I haven’t been in to see them in about 6 months so it was giggles all around. Not to mention, he hired a very handsome new front desk clerk. Woofie.

Afterwards, I ended up bouncing around downtown looking for sales on clothing. I’m still trying to replace the ruined clothes. I managed to replace a fair share of the stuff that got pinkified (yeah I know it’s not a word). Speaking of laundry, I had to break down and do the deed again. I was so low I was wearing club wear to work. No ruined batches this time thankfully.

Oh, I almost forgot! I have a date. And he’s a blogger! I’ll be stingy and hold onto the details for now. More later, wish me luck?! And… I may have found a roommate. I’ve sorta been hoping to find a roomie come November (my lease is up) to cut back on expenses. So a buddy here may buy a condo soon and he was very excited about the idea of having a roomie. So cross both fingers that it goes better than the last fiasco!

I have more “stuff” to talk about but it’s late and the sleep monster is attacking. Ni’night.
