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.

That Time Again

Vacation that is.  Today is the last work day before I bail for 10 days.  I’m packing the camera and will attempt to take plenty of pics. [1]I make no promises.  The world-wind tour starts off with a trip to Phoenix.  Never been and now that I have a friend living there I’m gonna bounce on down and check it out. 

Afterwards, it is a deluxe economy class trip to BFE, aka East Texas, to see the clan.  I haven’t been home in a year so it is time I guess.  On the way back, I’m stopping at my friend Trev’s place for his 40th birfday.  Festivities will ensue.

I may or may not blog much however, expect twitter updates.  I’m looking forward to seeing everyone.  While I’ll probably never move back to Texas, I do miss family and friends.  It is hard to get back as often as I’d like so I squeeze as much time in as I can when I do.

On a side note, I was notified today my blogroll was screwy.  Apparently, the new version of WP requires a category assigned to links for them to be visible. [2]Don’t ask me why, one would think it is obvious.  Anyway, I have corrected the problem.  And while we are on the subject, sending a somewhat snotty email because you notice your link is gone is not the best way to stay in my good graces or on my blogroll.  Just a thought.  🙂

Mental Note

Using lube in the shower is probably not the best idea I’ve ever had.  I can report the lump on my head has gone down considerably.

I was trying to kill two birds w/one stone so to speak.  Apparently, I spilt some and promptly slipped and banged my head on the wall.   Mind you, the lump wasn’t severe enough to stop me.  However, I will give some considerable thought to such combos in the future. 

i-whatever

Is anyone else tired of hearing about the iphone?  Whoopee, so what you are buying a 2nd generation phone that should have been a 1st generation phone.  I’ll grant you it’s ‘purdy.  It still only does half the shit my Wing does. [1]Shhhh, don’t tell Adam, they went out and got one each today.  I was absolutely shocked (read tickled pink) when I read today Apple deliberately limited sales thru shitty Cingular  ‘the new AT&T’ stores.  For a company that totes their iphone as "the best new invention of the millennium", they sure are going to a lot of effort.  One would think a product that good would sell itself.  I’m just sayin’.

The 4-day weekend is coming to a close.  I didn’t do a thing.  Probably a good thing as I wasn’t overly chipper at wasting a long weekend.  Surprisingly, all of my other friends were busy. (Doesn’t it always work out that way? lol)

Friday was a blur.  I did get a few chores done.  Beyond that, most of the day was spent catching up on Tivo and playing Darkness on the 360. 

Saturday, I drug myself out of the house to go see Hellboy II.  Overall, I enjoyed it.  The CGI and cinematography was excellent.  I ended up running into roblog, Chuck and their friend Jeff.  They, like fools, sat with me.  The movie started late so we amused ourselves by geeking out and torturing Chuck in the process.  Anyway, if you liked the first one you’ll like this one.  The only part I didn’t like was the comedic banter.  They added a tad too much in my opinion.  It took away from the plot development. 

Today, I expected to wait around most of the day waiting on Comcast again. [2]They had to come back out to fix the problem they were supposed to fix last time. Imagine my surprise when they showed up on time.  I made it to the gym and got a good arm workout in.  The only other noteworthy occurrence was a hottie who normally ignores me said hello.  It was kinda odd.  The guy almost always seems to avoid me.  Of course, afterwards I wondered what exactly had changed.  Drove me nuts. 

Tomorrow, I’m supposed to meet w/the tattoo guy to talk about my new tattoo.  I’m almost finished with the design.  I need some ideas from him for filler hence, the meeting.  This guy is probably fed up with me by now but he hides it well. lol 

How was your weekend?

Just Wrong

I’m pretty free spirited and lord knows I have an open mind when it comes to sex.  Tonight, I stumbled over a profile on Manhunt I felt crossed the line, even for me.  There are a lot of strange fetishes in the gay community and even more so online.  But there are certain things I can’t and won’t tolerate.

The guy basically started out ranting with claims about being a real man, masculine, blah blah blah.  Nothing new there, pretty much the same boring fodder as usual.  Then he launches into a speech about mind trips, power, and domination.  *yawn* 

Now comes the part that pissed me off.  He is only looking for negative guys he can dominate and attempt to infect.  He goes on to imply it is the only true form of power and control.  Call it a sick neurosis, a inferiority complex, whatever, it’s fucking wrong.

There are a lot of things I will tolerate but I draw the line at deliberately trying to infect people with HIV.  HIV may not be the death sentence in Western culture it used to be but people are still fucking dying.  More disturbing, the rate of infections in younger gays is on the rise again.  To see some sick fuck with a twisted need to satisfy his limp-dick inferiority complex trying to convince people HIV is glamorous is beyond reprehensible. 

I reported his ass to the admins. [1]It takes about 24 hours usually for complaints to be reviewed.  I also added a note if they allow such a profile to exist, they will lose me as a customer.  I didn’t make it as threat but to make a point.  In the event his profile doesn’t get nixed (I think it will), I’ll go one step further and break one of my cardinal rules about privacy.  I’ll post his profile info here and encourage every single reader to email Manhunt to complain. 

*Update* – The profile was removed when I woke up today.

Vid Bid 08

Well, my first new video of the year. I was originally just tinkering w/the camera trying to get it to work and it turned into a full blown vid. Its roughly about 12megs and does take a few seconds to load. As usual, no shirt on. I swear I don’t plan it that way.

Today has been a blur up till now.  I got up late so of course I was running. [1]I’m absolutely beginning to hate my current schedule.  I made it to the gym thankfully.  While there, I noticed they put in the replacement steam room door.  It has to set overnight so I’m sure tomorrow the steam room will be standing room only. heehee 

Speaking of the gym, one of my two new future ex-husbands totally shot me down.  I was chatting him up and finally asked if he wanted to grab a bite sometime.  He said no.  *sniffle*  I guess the honeymoon is over.  I was chatting up another gym bud and he told me the guy is only into slim young smooth Asian boys.  I don’t fit any of that description.  Oh well, next!  The other future ex is a bust too.  I know that w/o even trying.  He is friendly but I’ve watched and he only flirts w/the big muscle boys.  I’m surprised he doesn’t work out more at the Brannan Gold’s where they all congregate. 

 

Poser

 

I finally got my hooves clipped and polished.  I’ve been blowing it off lately because of my schedule.  The girl I like is off the same days I am so makes it difficult.  She was so excited to see me. lol  She made me smile by noticing my muscles have increased a bit.  I totally could have kissed her.

Pride is almost upon us.  As I was driving home from work tonight the Castro was overflowing.  I expect this year will be especially festive what with the recent gay rights ruling here in Cali.  And it should be.  It is high time we get some equality.  I’m looking forward to pride this year more than usual.

Oh, are you logged in?  You should be.
