Trip II

I just booked my flight for Fort Lauderdale in October.  Cross your fingers that another hurricane doesn’t tear them a new asshole this year.  I didn’t get to go last year and I’m still smarting from it.

I got bumped from my ride along this morning. Such is life.  I went home and crawled my butt right back in bed.  I didn’t get many errands done over the weekend so now that I’m up and about again, I might as well be productive.

Ok, what did I forget?  I know I’m forgetting something!

In other news, I’m thinking I might buy myself a new laptop for xmas this year.  The Dell is still chugging along however, it’s kinda heavy.  I know I’m speaking blasphemy so any MAC fanatics turn your head.  I might get the 17″ powerbook and just run windows on it. hehehe.  Now that MAC has gone all Intel on us, it’s a not a far stretch.  I’ve always liked the aesthetics of Mac’s, I just hate the operating system.

Anyway, time to shave the head and get ready for work.

No More Leather

I was gonna do a vidcast of this post but since I’m not at home at the moment, text will have to do.

Gay high holy day has finally come to an end and I have never been so glad to peel out of leather.  Leather I’ve been in since 10:00am this morning. Boy was I sticky!  Who’s bright ideas was it anyway for gay boys to fancy leather?  Even though, I don’t think I’ve gotten so many comments on my butt in a long time.  I’m all cleaned up now and catching a late bite at the local feed trough.

Dore Alley was pretty good this year from what I could see.  I worked the BCC booth most of the day.  The weather was perfect!  Not too hot and not too chilly.  If you’ve ever been to Dore or Folsom, it’s your typical fare of boys, daddy’s, tourists, and freaks extraodinaire. And I say freaks in the nicest possible way.  But why is it the people you don’t wanna see naked are always the ones that are?  Ugggh!  I almost told one guy I’d pay him to put his clothes back on.

I didn’t run into a sinlge blogger though.  I was very disappointed none of the clan stopped by to say hi.  In lieu of the regular group, several previously unknown readers stopped by to say hi.   One guy started yelling half a block away.  I thought at first someone had died or something.  (See James, I told you I’d mention it.)

Other than that, the day went pretty well.  The calendar men for this year seem really good together.  No premadonna’s at all.  Which is odd.  There’s always one or two in the group.  Not only did they work well together but they were courteous and respectful the whole time.  I was very impressed.

And, if you must know, yes I was a dirty slut.  You were expecting less?  I can report my jaw is still sore today.  *smile*

And how was your weekend?

518 Only

So, I knew it was bound to happen eventually. Just not so soon. Someone hit the bike today. (518 is our code for accident w/no injuries)
I was parked at the post office and came out see this guy backing right into it. I let out a yelp and he stopped just as his bumper made contact. As luck would have it, he only pushed it a bit. What aggrevated me, instead of pulling forward he just stopped and hopped out. I’m sure his ears were are a littled seared though. I’m none too shy and when I’m excited or angry the curse words tend to flow. He was very apologetic but I wasn’t hearing it.

I got lucky this time. I walked out in time to catch it. My buddy kristaki had a similar experience at a post office as well. Who knew post offices were such hot spots for running over motorcycles!

Oh, It’s almost gay high holy day (Dore Alley Fair). I’m working the BCC booth on Sunday. If you are local or gonna be in town, stop by say hi. I’m sure to be a dirty hoe too. Or at least I’m hoping too.

Have a good weekend all!

Lost Another One…

Why is it every time I meet a guy that rocks, he is already taken?  I mean I so rarely find a guy I wanna date.  WTF is up w/that?
I’ve seen this guy around town over that last few months.  He often makes eye contact w/the that slow sensual “yeah, I wanna put it in you” sort of look.  Today, we run into each other at the gym.  We talk, great connection. So, right when I’m about to ask him on a date, he springs it on me….Oh yeah, the “I already have a boyfriend”.

They have an open relationship yadda yadda yadda but, I probably won’t go there.  The great thing about 3ways is the anonymity of it all.  Having a one sided connection to him now, I think it would be a spectacular failure.
*sigh*

Sad Happenings

Today was not a pleasant day. An officer was killed in the line of duty early this morning. To say that we are all sad from the loss is an understatement.

In my line of work, I see death on a daily basis. However, it becomes that much harder when it is one of our own.  Most of you know I do not see death as an end.
I didn’t personally know the officer but I worked w/him often. He was a good guy who tried to make a difference.  We are diminished as a whole w/o him. But, we will carry on in his memory.

Rest in peace my friend.  You light is gone from this world but we take comfort that your light will go on.

Esp�re!

Yes Brett, I know it’s all about you honey.  But you’ll just have to espère. (“wait” or “patient” in cajun french)

For the rest of you, until I settle on a new theme, some things are missing!

Blog What?

*Update – I successfully upgraded to version2.03 of wordpress. Wahoooo! The old theme is back till I get used to the new GUI.

No, it’s not suddenly snowing in SF. Just the opposite actually. Yesterday, it was a very warm 90 degrees in the city. Today it’s a tad cooler at only 80.

I’m tinkering w/the blog themes again. The header will change sometime soon. I’m may design one from scratch or just find a free one. If anyone can recommend a header generator, I’m all ears.

Funny II

I’m in the Castro at Harvey’s having lunch. Enter two young very gay boys having the day of their lives.

Boy 1: “rambling about finding a man”

Boy 2: But you have such horrible taste in men.

Boy 1: I don’t have tastes, I have NEEDS missy.

I literally spit out my tea I was laughing so hard. They looked over gave me some air snaps and went on about their lives. Some days I really do love living in this city.

Random Bits

Yeah yeah, I’m still here. Just not much to say lately.

The new entertainment center arrived last week. I’m anxious to put it together however, I wanna paint the walls first and I don’t even have the paint yet. After my chiro appointment today, I’m off to Homo Depot to pick up some paint. The roomie wants to pay someone to do it so I’m also looking around for painters.

A coworker hurt her leg last week. She came to work afterwards and ended up having to be taken to the hospital. Turns out she had a ruptured calf muscle. I was appalled that they just dropped her off and left her. We are so poorly treated at work. It’s a wonder we still have employees left. Argggh! Don’t get me started. Anyway, I went and hung out w/her in the ER after I finished my shift. I didn’t get home till close to 3:00am. I don’t regret one minute of it though. I helped her through a very scary process. Luckily, she will make a full recover w/rest. I had an early union meeting the next day so didn’t get much sleep. Needless to say, I’m was a bit cranky.

I’m enjoying the new (old) shift. I miss the extra day off but I get so much more accomplished now. My gym schedule is improving too! Yay!

I went to see the new ENT doc about my nose this past week. I really liked him and he did more poking/prodding in 10 minutes than the previous doc did the whole time I was in his office. I’m actually just back from having a CT scan on my nose. The good news is I don’t have any pollups. I’m really hoping it turns out to be just an allergy problem as I don’t wanna have surgery. *crossed fingers*

Last Sunday, I hung out w/the boys at the Eagle. It was good to just hang out and shoot the shit again. Hey, I’ll take any sort of social life I can get right now. This past Sunday, I didn’t do much of anything. I slept in, watched some tivo. Beat ratchet & clank again. Oh and I was a dirty slut too. Can’t forget that.

I’m bumped off my ambulance ride alongs for two more weeks. Another round of new medics hit the street last week and need on-the-job training. I’m back at it in August though. Actually, thanks to the new schedule I’ll be able to squeeze in two a week now. Wahooo!

And speaking of the Eagle, I ran into a guy while there who stood me up on a date once. He was all “hey, how ya been? when we gonna get together again.” Uh exsqueeze me? My polite reply was “never”. He smiled and walked away.
