I’m currently updating the blog. If it disappears for a bit, never fear, it will return.
Well, my FTP shell from my ISP is down so the update is on hold. I’ll try again later tonight.
Survivor
I survived the 4th at work. The day started off very slow and ended in a blaze of drama. The last two hours of my shift, I processed just over a 100 calls. While most folks looks forward to holidays, there are a couple that I absolutely dread in my line of work. New Year’s eve is always a total cluster fuck. People are often just drunk and stupid. The 4th of July comes in right behind that as a minor meltdown. Not so much from the noise but from the increase in crime. We also get a lot of false calls for gunfire. We have to respond accordingly however, it takes services away from other areas. On the other side of the coin, we also get a real increase in shootings and gun play. Criminals know they have a higher chance of getting away w/stupidity on such nights.
People are always indignant from the noise which is a total surprise to me. You know the holiday comes every year. You know it is going to be noisy so why act so indignant? I can understand frustration over noise however, have you ever heard of ear plugs?
As for me, The 4th of July has never been a big holiday. Frank commented on twitter about holidays becoming less important as we age. I agree to an extent. As kids, I think every holiday is exciting. As adults, we come to pick and choose the holidays that mean a lot to us. For me, the holiday itself isn’t as important as being w/friends and loved ones.
Anyway, I was a total slug today. The one bright spot was my roomie’s guest made us a very delicious pasta for lunch. hehehe.
Grumble Grumble
I got bumped off my shift and my days off for the mid-year sign up. I had already planned to go back to a 5-8 schedule however, I fully expected to get a full weekend slot. After 7 1/2 years, I have the seniority for it. That is until some nitwit supervisor convinced the not-so-bright powers that be to drastically alter the shift allotment. This created a cascading bump all the way down the list.
I’m extremely lucky to have pulled a Fri/Sat slot on my shift. I got it only because the person before me decided at the last minute to go days.
I was rather annoyed at first however, it is beyond my control so I let it go. I still have a partial weekend slot so it really isn’t that bad. And because of delays in the signup, it will only be for 4 1/2 months instead of 6.
That said, I can’t wait to go back to a 5-8 shift. I am so tired of rushing everywhere during the week just to get stuff done.
If I ever decide to go back t a 4/10 shift, PLEASE stop me! Or at least remind me how much I hated it this last time.
That is all! lol
Blog Update
So after careful consideration, I added a new blog domain and email address today. Don’t worry, the old one will continue to work however, I get rather annoyed that my email addresses w/the .name extension routinely get flagged by junk mail filters. I’ll get emails days, weeks, even months later sometimes from folks who stumble over my emails in their junk email folders.
If you care, roll your mouse over the globe icon in the bottom left column here. You’ll see the new email addy pop up in the very bottom left of the browser window itself. The new domain is www.sfmoby.us
Feel free to use it or not. Like I said the old blog domain will remain. I checked a few links and most of the internal referral links work using the new domain as well. If you notice any broken ones, feel free to comment or email.

Weekend Roundup
Well, Gay High Holy Day #1 2008 has come and gone. It was a busy weekend but very enjoyable.
I had an off day Friday so hung out, got errands done, etc. I was still feeling a little blech but managed to make it to the gym.
Saturday day was pretty laid back. My buddy Frank made it in from Phoenix. I wasn’t too sure he’d make it but glad he did. He is a good egg and more than a little handsome.
“Ray”, Frank, and myself all headed for lunch at Firewood. It was the most crowded I’d ever seen it. Every single table was full minus two. By the time we left there was a line forming out the door.
Saturday night we went over to Adam & Brad’s new place for an intimate get together. The boys got the new pad all decked out and looking great. I think everyone involved had a great time. I also got a chance to play on their Wii. I was really impressed w/the design and layout of the console. [1]Mine is now on back order I also got to design my own avatar which everyone said bore a real resemblance. heehee Anyway, the evening was a success in my book. Between playing Wii bowling and the straight Irish boys that appeared out of nowhere, I think everyone had a great time.
Someone told me not to bring food so we all ended up practically starving to death. That is until Dominos delivered at 12:30 am. Afterwards, we all sat around feeling fat and sassy play Smash Mario Bros.
Sunday was parade day. I’m sad to say I made it a bit late to the festival. Frank and I both slept late. We got there about half way thru the parade. Adam and Brad were starving and I got to watch them devour some hot dogs within seconds. [2]In true Southern fashion, they can put away some food when properly inspired. lol We also ran into Victor, Tony, and little Bruno at the festival afterwards. Bruno is so adorable and growing like a weed.
On our way out, we stopped by Faery Village and saw masturbator 1 & 2. lol I’ll never understand the lure of standing in front of hundreds, if not thousands, of complete strangers having sex. As brave as I am, I couldn’t just stand and beat off in front of thousands of unknown people. There was the one guy who is there almost every year. This year he was lying down. I can report his ass wasn’t so attractive. The other guy had a fantastic bod and cock but was wearing a very dorky distracting Skeletor head mask. They were both just wanking away. There were other naked guys [3]Side rant: Why is it always the fat fugly guys that parade around butt naked? but none worth mentioning.
Afterwards, we scarfed down a meal at the food court in the new Westfield mall before seeing Wall-E on the big screen. Brad commented this “was his new favorite mall.” Anyway, I highly recommend the movie. If you like the Pixar franchise you will love Wall-E. The plot was wonderfully engaging and thought-provoking while still maintaining a high level of entertainment. Definitely worth the money to see it on the big screen.
Today, Frank and I were slugs. We had lunch, a movie, dinner, and a nap all before he had to fly back home to Phoenix. I definitely need to him the gym again tomorrow. I could write more but I’m flat bone tired and sleep is about to take me. A few more pics posted on the flickr account if you care to see.
And how was your weekend?

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.
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.

Feeling better?

I’m back in the saddle, so to speak. Today was my first day back at the gym. I’m still sniffling a little but all of the chest congestion is gone. I took it easy today and only got about half my normal work out in. My energy isn’t 100% yet so easing myself back into it. Nothing worse than getting better and then inadvertently sabotaging it w/too much physical exertion.
Speaking of the gym, I have not one but two new future ex-husbands. heehee One guy either just switched gyms or just moved here because I’ve never seen him before. He must have a similar schedule because I see him almost daily now. He doesn’t really give me any eye contact but that never stops me from drooling.
OH! I totally forgot. Adam/Brad saw “the hammer!” You can ask them how big it is.

In other news, it is hot as hell here. A whopping 80 degrees! It is a veritable heat wave. Actually, it is in the low 70’s today which is much more bearable. I was chatting with my buddy Frank from Urswine Addiction and he mentioned it was 111 in Phoenix yesterday. Holy hell! I would literally dry up and blow away. AND, he works outside. He is a braver man than me. Course, all that physical labor has him looking all buff. There are worse fates.

Even better, it is Friday and I’m back on my regular schedule for it. Speaking of, it is almost that time. Crap, time to go. TGIF boys (and girl). Have a whore-ific weekend.
