Oh So Blue

My first time on Jetblue has been decent1. Even though I’m laying over in New York at JFK. The direct flights were all full so I had to bite the bullet and just do it. The flight home is a direct flight. It’s warm but muggy here today. Actually, it’s a very southern day in the big Apple.

I did encounter a problem w/security because of a new regulation regarding liquids carried on board. Other than that, the experience has been good. The seats really are a little bigger and you do have more leg room. I’m glad I bought the laptop as nothing was on 36 channels2 that I cared to watch. JetBlue get’s brownie points for carrying scifi as part of their line-up though.

I always stay two places when I travel to Ft Lauderdale. I know weird but here’s why. I hate the seascape designs you see in so many sea side resorts. In fact, you could say I detest it. The place I normally stay doesn’t do that however, they are a bit pricey. Knowing how I am, I always stay the first night in a resort w/the standard seascapes to remind myself why I continually fork over the extra dollars. I know, quirky but I can live w/it and it serves me well.

1 I misjudged the travel time on public transit and was almost late. I also remembered to bring the camera. Yes, I’m patting myself on the back for not forgetting it this time. Lets see if I can hold onto the memory cards.

2 36 channels and I couldn’t find a single show I cared to watch. Does that make me picky or sad?

Rajun Cajun

Quite unexpectedly, I ran into an adorable cajun boy at the gym today. Not only sexy but turns out he is quite the sweetheart too. After our very enjoyable carnal encounter, I invited him to lunch and we had a great time hanging out. Don’t get me wrong, it was nothing more than good company. But, I forget sometimes how good ‘good company‘ feels. He was a most welcome distraction.

He is new to the city from brettcajun‘s neck of the woods, New Orleans. Aspiring actor, bartendar, and soon to be heart-breaker as well I bet. SF can be a hard city to live in if you can’t pay the bills. I hope he gains the foothold he needs to get established. Only time will tell. In the meantime, I think we might hang out again once I’m back from vacation.

Speaking of chores, I have to head off and finish my laundry. I’m sure you know now much I love that.

Crap

So, I finally relented and installed a sp@m filter on the blog. I guess I should be flattered. I’ve reached a level where the daily intake is more than I care to manage anymore.

In the meantime, if you have any problems getting your comment posted, email me.

Nothing to See Here… (II)

I attended the 2nd official Choxita de Badlands Brunch today.

I arrived to find kel playing Martha Stewart in the kitchen. Of course, kel gurl has a much fitter waist line than Martha. He is also lacking a prison record but who am I to nit-pick.

Oh yes, there are many more to come. For some reason, I was the only one w/a camera today.1 Continue reading Nothing to See Here… (II)

Tra la la la

So it’s my Friday. And it’s the last day of work before the vacation officially begins. Wahoo! I had a mini vacation last month but I still had tons of responsibilities tagging me so it wasn’t very relaxing. However, I am off to Fort Lauderdale this coming week and I can’t wait. Oh sure, for the money spent, I could have booked a cruise or gone somewhere uber gay. Well, I live in an “uber gay” city so I’m a little over the whole gayer than gay thing at present. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not kicking anyone here. I’m just content being Moby vs gay Moby at the moment.

Switching gears slightly, I offered the “olive branch” of friendship to someone recently who rejected it. Not mean or rudely however, I was surprised as said person went out of their way to be my friend. Odd? yes. Unexexplainable? No. I sorta think I’ve puzzled it out. (paging Dr Freud.) He developed an image of who I was based on where I work, the charities I work for etc. He also reads my blog off and on so has an idea of my persona. However, as people tend to do, I guess he built up an image of what he thought I was and when I didn’t live up to that image, he decided I was no longer friendship material.

Having met me, several bloggers out there can attest to my directness. I make no pretentions about my life. Not biggie there. I think the part that shocks people is that I don’t sugar coat the parts of my life that may or may not be widely accepted. I can speak as openly about religion as I can my last carnal encounter w/o batting an eyelash. The way I see it, there is no shame in my actions so I see no reason to sugar coat it to make you feel comfortable w/your own issues.

Having said all that, I think this person built up an image of me based on the refined parts of my id. He neglected to notice the other parts and now can’t seem to reconcile the two. Sad but not my problem.

Pic or Pry

While I was visiting the doc the other day, we started talking about blogging. He really wanted to know what it was all about. It got me to thinking how blogging has affected me. You few long time readers know I started blogging while dealing a painful breakup. I got so much support and outpouring of concern it was very overwhelming at times. After which, as it often does, life goes on. So, I told the Doc about all the friends I’ve made thru it, how it helped me find the apartment, and so on. He was truly amazed. He couldn’t believe people could do all that thru such a simple medium. Who knows? Maybe he’ll take up blogging. Not about his patients obviously but I’m sure he has a story to tell.

I mention it as it got me to thinking about why people blog. So, if you read this, even if you never commented before, take a moment to tell me why YOU blog (or don’t).

In the meantime, for those of you non-readers, here are a few more pics.

Here I am looking looking extremely excited.

To Go, Please

I forgot to post these. (Can you tell I haven’t been to the gym much lately) I so need a tan.

I can report the cleaning crew did a fantastic job! I was very pleased when I got home and found the apartment all nice and clean. I was a tad worried as I’m a bit picky when it comes to services I have to pay for. I have a strong work ethic and I tend to expect the same from folks I pay to do work for me. There are not many luxury items in my budget right now so this was an important decision. I feel justified in my choice now. They did more than even I expected. So any of you local yocals need a good reference, I got one.
