Moving On Is What I Say

Hello My Friends
Well this week has been an easy week and I have been neglecting my blog some. However as I get closer to the launch of my project I seem to be pretty busy these days. Today is Hump day and not a lot of humping going on. Recapping the weekend things went well as I mentioned I went to TBRU and had a nice time. However it wasn’t all fun for me but more business. Did a photo shoot of one for my project as the other one was a no show, however will have to reschedule with him as I knew he had guest in town and probable wouldn’t be able to get away. Over all TBRU was a success as I’ve been hearing from some of my friend. Although I didn’t get to enjoy the full extent of it I had a great time over all as well.

Had it out with my folks mostly my mother as she doesn’t agree with my lifestyle. Oh well all I can say is she has lived a full life and it’s not her place to tell me how to live mine. If you don’t like my life style don’t sit there and throw it in my face because you don’t care. One of the reasons why I got my ass out of their house back in my early twenties as I didn’t want to disrespect them in the process, Secrets she says. Well if you don’t like my lifestyle why should I tell you anything at all? Point taken is I’m not married to her and I for sure don’t have to answer to her. Still I love my mother even though it might not seem like it now but when she crossed the line so now I have no words for her or him at this time. My father is more excepting of my lifestyle but he’s no saint himself. Since he’s been ill he’s been confessing to me things he’s done while on the road and to be honest I don’t care to hear about my parents love life. Give me the creeps for sure.

I Just remembered that day light savings time is this Saturday as we’ll loose and hour. I guess I’ll be going to bed early that night so I can stay on track. Good thing I’m off on weekends so come Monday morning the adjustment won’t be such a big deal. Suppose to attend a Baseball game on Saturday but if its raining I guess I want be doing so. Other than what I mentioned I have no big plans this weekend. So until fingers meet keys I hope all are having a good weekend so far and that the weekend will hold a relaxing time as well. Take care as I’ll try to do better that I have with the blog.

At TBRU

Hello my friends
Hope all are doing well. I wrote this so quick so please excuse the errors. The week went by really quick as I only worked three days of it. To sum up Wednesday, as I had no time to blog. Had the last meeting of the month and I had to host it. Since my boss was coming back from vacation she decided to handle the bulk of the of the meeting and ordered pizzas. All I had to do this time was make the salad and bring some fruit and drinks. Really turned out nice. Work was at a nice pace and I really couldn’t complain about it. However they have started dropping bombshells on us at work as I’ve mentioned before we’re going through some structure changes. Right now just taking them in stride.

I’m in Dallas now on this early Friday morning. Was suppose to have arrives at four but didn’t arrive until six that evening as I got a late start, just in time for the evening traffic. I was last as I borrowed my mothers laptop and was going to bring it with me but my nephew had gotten a hold of it and some how messed it up. So its going to need to be repaired. One of the models has contacted me before I left Houston and we’ve set up his shoot for later today. Haven’t heard from the second one. After getting me some well-needed rest from the drive I got up and made my rounds of the tour of TBRU. LORD! There were so many men out and I have to say it was some eye candy for sure. Fist stop was The Eagle and it was packed. It had been so long since I had been in a bar that I had forgotten when I stopped going. Soon as I started smelling the smoke it I remembered. Still I mutt led thought it. Was looking for some folks I chat with on line and did see a few I have seen on line but never chatted with still it was all good. It seems like the who’s who of gay men where out in groves. Stay there about and hour and left to see what was happening at Woody’s. karaoke was going on and there wasn’t a lot of men there. However they had a few good singers, as it was my first time going to a karaoke bar as well. Left there and went over to the Mining Company. Good music was going on in there for sure and I could remember when I wanted to move so. A few guys on the dance floor with hard bodies were giving it a go. After enjoying the eye candy I made my way back to the Eagle and it was more packed that when I left the first time. Then I remembered why. The Chartered bus was picking guys up and dropping them off on the routes as the Last stop was the Eagle for the night. Finally met up with Phillip and chatted a little but it was way to noisy to hold a conversation not to mention to crowded as well.

I’ve come to realize that these events aren’t really fun unless your there with some one. There was a lot of standing around on the wall and I haven’t seen so much Fur In my life. Lots of Touching, scratching of bear fur and touching as well. It was like one big party and I have to say the Dallas gay men sure where doing that. I avoided the restrooms as word had gotten to me that last year there where arrest from folks sexually gratifying themselves in the restrooms. Still one can’t help to think of the sexual activity that was to happen especially after all the alcohol that was being consumed. Then again I’m in the Sex Capital of Texas rather it be gay or straight.
Well that’s about it for now I will be reporting more on TBRU during my stay here. So until fingers meet keys all have a good one and looking forward to hear from you all as well. Big hugs as well.

Spring Break Is Over

Hello All
Hope all had a good weekend. I could make up and excuse that I have been so busy that I haven’t had time to write on here but that hasn’t been the case. Just plan lazy at this point. Well was busy at work and was really glad the weekend finally arrived. My dad had to go back in the hospital again on Tuesday but was released later that night as one of his old injuries flared up again. Doing much better now.  However he’s a little pissed at me about now as I won’t go into that right now. Me and a friend where going to use his truck to move some furniture this Sunday but I guess that was for sure out of the picture.  He went up to take a load of potatoes to the cattle as six of them are pregnant again. He says he’s going to sale them but that hasn’t happen as of yet. Also found out my nephew was back in the hospital again on the same thing that happen less that a month again. He’s twenty years old and it’s really come to our attention that he can’t live on his own as he’s not taking care of himself. My pour sister is about to her wits end so at this point all I can do is be supportive. She is trying to get him help as the doctor who was treating him says he’s suicidal. It took a week before they could get his sugar back to level where they were comfortable on releasing him. Right now she just wants to get him though this school year and we’ll see how the summer goes and take it from there.

Spring Break is finally over and the streets should get back to normal here soon. There was so much traffic from folks heading down to Galveston this week that it felt like summer. I guess that’s a vision of things to come. Since we don’t have Astro World Six flags anymore they’re all heading to Galveston for the water parks next to moody gardens. Place really looks deserted with all the rides and things gone after being there for so many years. Picked up my Brother this Saturday from the airport and he was reporting the drama that went on during his visit. The couple he went on the trip with the woman all she wanted to do was argue over the slightest little thing. She wasn’t happy he says unless she was causing drama and she wonders why she’s always alone and can’t keep a man. Oh well. No mine or his problem. This week is TBRU and looking forward to going up to the big D as I haven’t been there in a while and my first Bear Event as well. I’m going to make up business cards tomorrow or Tuesday to pass out up there. During my down time I will take advantage and do some writing as well. My editor is really jumping to get started right away. The vacation will be good as I’ve been a little cranky at work lately as things have been coming up missing and my supervisor wanting me to repeat what I have already done only to have it show up once they go looking for it. I’m there to work but not extra work if at all possible. Plus I’ve been getting New Intakes off schedule and it’s really throwing me off. It’s really going to be bad since I’m only working three days this week but enough of that, Will be good to enjoy my time that’s for sure.

Yard work, I have to really say I hate it but I do like the out come. It has been a gloomy weekend as we have been expecting rain but nothing heavy as of yet. March madness as started and that gives me a change to catch up on my videos for sure as most of the stuff I watch is on CBS. I watched the Soprano’s tonight and it was one of they’re weaker shows. Was kind of hard to follow at first but as the story line went on I caught on. Right now he’s in a coma and the mob is about to go wild and next week aught to get interesting as one of then is gay and trying to hit on Tony’s daughters boyfriend. Only the second show so I’m sure it’s going to get much better as this is the last season for it to air. Man do I miss my Queer as Folk too. Oh well it was good while it lasted that’s for sure. Well I hope all had a good weekend as I got me as much rest as I could. Going to take it easy this week as well as I don’t want to be stressed when I get up to Dallas. So until fingers meet keys all have a good one and hope you have a much better week as well. Big hugs to all.

Weekend Was A Good One

Hello My Friends
I hope all had a great weekend as things are going went well for me for sure this weekend. Saturday got out and working in the yard as it was in bad need. Good news is its presentable again. Now the back yard needs to be tackled for sure and that will be a next weekend project as I recuperate from this weekend. It’s somewhat presentable as well. Got up this Sunday and wasn’t to sore from Saturday as I was actually feeling really good. So much so I was tempted to go to the gym and work out later. I had been threatening to go to sit in the hot tub after yesterday but after a good hot shower I was good to go.

I got me a Sunday’s paper and no CIRCUIT CITY but had three BEST BUY ads in it. I didn’t go out this weekend as I was to sore after the yard work to really enjoy it. Did get some work done on the project as it’s up to 64 pages now. Working on figures for when I go to print. I’ve been chatting with a few folks on some work to contribute to it as well as getting paid for their services so it’s coming together. Today I started having this feeling again asking myself. “What am I do and why?” I get that way sometimes when I get over whelmed. At this point I can see anything to be overwhelmed over. Things are going great and all I need to do is stay positive and roll right along. I guess it’s away of keeping me in check.

The new season of the Soprano’s premiered tonight as I love me some Tony Soprano, especially when he’s half naked. I hope they won’t disappoint us and show more of him half dressed as seasons before.  The ended was a shocker on tonight episode but we know Tony will pull through or a least until the end of the season. I just hope this season isn’t a disappointment like OZ was. They killed off most of the cast in OZ and it seemed so rushed in the last few episodes, they didn’t have a lot of time to do it much else. Having worked in the prison system I was happy with the show as it did come close to what I experienced working as a corrections office. There are killings going on in there but I know that’s now how it happens and it doesn’t happen that often and that quickly so yes it was a disappointment to me but then again its television. Now that Queer as Folk is gone I really have nothing left but the Sopranos. Watching this BIG LOVE really didn’t do it for me. However I do like a little Dead Wood so all is not lost. LOL I haven’t seen the fab five on lately and I hope they haven’t been canceled either however some of the guys they have been making over haven’t reached my taste meaning keep me interested enough to continue to watch. Then again if I’m to run a publication for the Average Male I can’t just have my opinion of what an average male would look like or should look like. So I’m keeping an open mind about that and hope to form a committee to vote on who should be in the paged of THE AVERAGE MALE.

My brother, sister, mother and nephew all will be out of school since it’s spring break however my brother will be pulling out on Wednesday morning to go visit his BF who’s in the army boot camp. He won’t be back until Saturday so I will have to house all to myself. No plans on having guest over as it’s not a problem him being gay and all too so it’s been working out for us. The guys at work will have to be creative as the kids are out of school as well. We won’t have a lot going home on a extended home visit this time around as one of the courts have placed an order that all the kids from his court are not to go home until further notice. Now this will surely trickle to the other courts as well so I’m expecting here soon that home visitation will be a thing of the past. You should have seen the teary eyes when they got the news. I guess they’ll start getting the picture now as it’s sure to open some eyes now. Well hope all are doing well and will have a great week. Take care all as I will do the same and until fingers meet keys hugs to you all.

Don't Start None Won't Be None.

Hey My Friends
WOW! It’s hump day and so for it’s been a very busy morning for me. Man came over to fix the garage door and pissed me off as he wanted to change me 175.00 to replace a 40.00 part. I told him that was ok then he wanted to charge me 50.00 for driving out here and that’s when it hit. I told him I’ll pay the 20.00 buck for coming out here but I’m not paying you 50.00 bucks for not doing any work. Beside we just had one side of the garage done as my brothers garage door gear went out plus I could by a new one for that price and then he wanted to go on about he only got 10% of what I paid to have the work done. Once he saw I wasn’t going to back down and pay him 50.00 buck too he decided to make a phone call and they office said charge him 117.00 for the whole thing including tax. He went on to say the door needed to be balanced as well and I told him I’ll get that done later and put no warranty on the part. Guess I won’t be doing business with them anymore or recommending them to anyone else either. Mother didn’t raise a fool and I guess he thought this was going to be an easy sale too. Hell it only took him less then 20 minutes to do the work. Oh well this gear should last another ten years and I didn’t let him know that I knew how to balance the doors so I’m not mad there besides why sweat the small stuff.

Have a meeting today at work the third one for me this month as we’re rolling right along. Computers where down on Tuesday and I wasn’t able to get much done. As soon as you got started they shut down again and we’d loose our work or couldn’t get to save out work so what was the point. I hope things will be different today. I ended up leaving early as I really couldn’t do anything. I did get the six I received inputted to they’re location is ay my facility. There is talk about getting the girls back on the facility and I’m really not looking forward to that as they are very difficult kids to work with. I’m still not sure if I’ll be doing the in taking on them but from my understanding it will be an all female crew working over there. Surveyor was out to check the building for add on and renovations. So it looks like the rumors maybe true. Still they’ve hit us with this year after year and nothing has transpired. Good new is I get two raises this year and with the cost of living going up it will be welcome site that’s for sure especially since I’ll be funding the project until it can get off its feet.  

I have no plans this weekend as of yet. I may do dinner with my new friend this weekend again. You know who you are. Since the website is just about complete meaning all I have to do is place the info as when the project will take off and place a few forms for the models release and application and I’m finished. However it will continue to change as more info becomes available and content added. Once the pictures are ready I think all will like the gallery section. I will be attending TBRU next weekend but not the events mostly to check out the vender as I want to set up at BEARWATCH in Galveston this coming May. Hummmmm, Slash day is about that time as well. Should be something for sure. Well that’s about it so until fingers meet keys all take care as I will do the same Big hugs to all and again looking forward to our chats.

Good Monday

Hello My Friends
Hope all are doing well and had a great weekend as well. I know I did. Got a lot accomplished this weekend one being my project. I changed up the home page a bit and finally got the emails to working. Not exactly what I wanted but they are working. At this time I really don’t need them as I won’t start taking application for figure models until the later part of the month.

My new camera arrived on Friday and I spent a good part of the day figuring out how to use the thing. It’s still simple straight forward like a SLR camera but I’m not use to using an SLR camera as I normally use manuals. Something about setting the dept of fields and things on my own however I can us this camera on in manual mode too but I’m kind of getting us to the camera doing it own it’s on and I have to say so far it’s been doing a good job. Had to buy a SD card for it as well as it didn’t come with one but for the price I bought the camera for I wasn’t expecting too much. Over all it’s a great little camera and I feel I made a good choice and it will meet the needs for what I need it to do.

Had the first of Six meeting I have a month each month and again another bitch and grip session. I just sat there and kind of looked at the walls and ceiling as we go through the same old BS every month. When I left there I headed into town and catch the last part of the LUEY hats parade. So missed out on the pic there as the meeting carried over longer than expected. Didn’t venture back out that night either as I didn’t want to be one of those standing on the walls in the bar. Did get reports that most of the places where crowded and I don’t do well in crowded smoke filled rooms. However glad all who attend has a great time.

Went to dinner on Sunday and thank you for a wonderful evening as you know who you are. Looking forward to the next one as well. Over all I had a nice weekend as the weather has really been nice here and part of the week is suppose to be just as nice as well. We’re due rain come Wednesday and that’s the day the man is to come out and survey the garage door as I’ve been having issues with it. Gears have gone bad in the unit as its gotten nine years of service so I really can’t complain there. So depending on hoe long it’s going to take them to fix the thing I’ll be going into work late that day. However I will be glad to have it fixed as it’s been a pain in the ass to get out and open the door and close it. Just glad it hasn’t been raining for sure. Well that’s about it for now so until fingers meet keys hope all have a great week and looking forward to chatting with you all soon. Big hugs to everyone.

Thursday, Start of L.U.E.Y.

Hello All
Hope all are doing well on this Thursday morning. For me I finally got me some well rest after running around and going on. Lots to do but I’m getting there. Still it has been tiresome as the Rodeo is in town and plenty of Brokebacks as well. LUEY weekend Kicks off today as well and we just finished up with Mardi Gras as well. So it’s been a busy two weeks I have to say. March has arrived and we still have spring break to attend with. Weather has been lovely here as well so I took advantage of that and finally washed my vehicle. I was told my one of my co workers that he needed to put on his sun shades as the chrome on my vehicle was shinning so it was blinding. No I don’t have 20 inch chrome wheels on my vehicle actually they’re the ones that came with it. However the Tub rail which also came on the vehicle is chrome and I’m sure that’s what he was talking about. LOL

Co worker at work has really been working my nerve wanting to get together and it’s funny how he can make me laugh and flirt so but I’m not going to go that route. Will he wear me down well I can’t say but he’s come close a couple of time as I have to admit he’s a very handsome husky ex army type man that fits what I’d look for in a man as well but one major problem, he’s married and I’m out for keeps so he’s for sure off limits. He says he hasn’t done this before and I sure don’t want to be his experiments. I am flattered that he likes me but at the same time I don’t want him to think that he can have me and his cake too. I won’t get silly and file sexual harassment on him as that’s not my kind of thing. I feel that one should be able to talk to one and get your message across. It hasn’t come to that as I have been enjoying the attention as well. Usually when married men venture out they aren’t getting what they need at home, Curious or not. In my younger days it probable would be a problem but now a day I want more than what he can offer me which is more than a romp in the hay. So I’ve been sticking to my guns and blowing off his advances.

Well that’s about it for today. Long day today for work but it should roll by smoothly as the new formats are being implemented. I got one of six meeting for the month this Saturday on top of LUEY weekend. Need to get my Business card ready so I can pass them out as well. Needing models pretty soon for the pictorials not to mention a lot of folk will be in town as well.  So that’s about it for now so until finger meet keys all have a good one and looking forward to chatting again soon. Hugs my friend.
