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*

Burned – Almost

Ever do something colossally stupid by not paying attention? Without going into the details of it, I made an error in judgement this week. Something that could have burned me and I’m a bit ashamed of myself. I can such an absent-minded Cletus at times and this time it could have really bitten me in the ass.

I know, your going “what the fuck are you talking about Moby”. Well, it’s something very private to me but rest assured I won’t make the same mistake twice. And amazingly, it turned out alright.

Better than alright actually.

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.

Lazy

Yesterday was a very lazy day. I moped around most of the day in my robe. Didn’t go to the gym, the market, or anywhere else productive.

I loved it! I think I’m rebelling against the coming storm that will be my schedule for the next 6 months. Pretty soon, I’ll have very little free time at all. (again)

I did manage to get my lazy ass together enough to have dinner w/southern Tim. We haven’t seen each other in awhile and it was good to catch up. He has had some of his own drama lately and it seems like things are calming down a bit. He’s also up for a new job which he is very excited about. (I’m hoping he gets it for selfish reasons. I don’t want him to move away now that he has finished school.) Anyway, we had a nice dinner at Blue.

In a surprising development, I met someone last night who surprised me on several different levels. What was supposed to just be a booty call, turned into a very enjoyable evening. I must admit, I really enjoyed the attention. I’ve been so focused on other goals lately I’ve been feeling a bit lonely. He was just what the doctor ordered!

Today, on the otherhand, I can’t afford to be so lazy. I need to hit the gym (hard), drop my paperwork by the doc’s office so I can get certified physically fit to drive an ambulance, some necessity shopping, mail, moving supplies, and some laundry by days end. Blech! I hate chores, why can’t I be rich and have some sexy butler do it for me.

Protected: This is Only a Test

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

Brokeback

I’m just back from seeing Brokeback Mountain.

*spoiler alert – if you haven’t seen the movie skip this post*

Brokeback Mountain

First off, it is a fan-fucking-tastic movie! The movie cuts to the heart of the gay movement w/it’s simplistic focus on two men deeply in love w/each other. Two men trapped by expectations of society that they lead a totally different, albeit miserable, life. All the gay stereotypes are completely stripped away. On a side note, I was overwhelmed by several aspects that reminded me of my own childhood environment. If you grew up in any sort of country environment you’ll know what I mean after you see it. The movie starts out a bit slow while plot builds. While a bit borish, I much prefer a slow build to rushing thru it.

Second, the hype surrounding it as an artistic masterpiece is well deserved. That said, from all the rants just flooding the blogosphere, I expected way more sex and nudity. There is only one male/male sex scene where you actually see them in the act so to speak. A bit rushed but Jake takes it like a man! (He is my favorite of the two and I got a chub seeing him take it. hehehe) The only cock scene is a very brief one when they go skinny-dipping together. Several nice butt shots though. There are also several kiss scenes but again only one scene with all out passionate man to man kissing.

Artistically, the movie is great. I only say great because the scenery is complete in it’s believability but it rarely becomes the focus. I think this was deliberate to keep your interest completely on the actors and the story. Coming the heart of the sticks in East TX, it brought back so many memories. The director did a very good job of making you believe they really were a couple roughneck cowboys. From the way he put his boot heel in the fire (a common attempt to keep your feet warm in very cold weather), all the way down to the way Jake checks his 30-30. (rifle) Jake (aka Jack) and Keith (aka Innis) deserve some major credit too. Keith Ledger has never really been on my list of favorite actors. IMO, this was the best performance of his career. As for Jake, I haven’t seen him in many movies but he also played a very believable character. When he dies in the end I started crying. You see a brief flash on how he really dies even though his wife lies about it to Keith.

The end made me very sad. Sad that we still live in a culture where not all human beings can express themselves freely w/o oppression. Even sadder, that gays still face the threat of physical harm in many places in this country just for being born gay.

While I was leaving the theatre, I overheard a gay guy and his female friend in front of me discussing the movie. She was blathering on about how she didn’t see why people said it was so sad. His response, “Bitch! were you watching the same movie I was? Maybe you need to go back and watch it again.” After which, he promptly stormed a little of a head of her.

If you haven’t seen it, sorry for spoiling it but I left out plenty of juicy info. Gay or straight, I highly recommend you see it.

My next big flick to see is Underwold:Evolution. Which just happens to be coming out on my birthday!
