Usually within minutes of meeting someone from Arkansas, California and Texas your head is spinning with nasty stories about how Bill, Ronald and Dub'uh got into power. I've lived in Grand Rapids for 28 years and have never of any corruption or dirty deals made by President Ford-not so much as a dog pooped on my lawn story .

Vacations 2007
I'm planning my vacations for the upcoming year. Were going to Fort Laurerdale again at Davids request. I'm thinking David is trying to get another free pool side sex-show.
This time the Miami Gay Film Festival will be happening while were there, usually part of the festival is in Fort Laurerdale.
I'll be in Dallas during the summer for the convention.
It's always been my dream to go to major city for their Halloween Celebrations, Here it the list of cities to visit.
The Mother Ship, San Francisco, It all happens there. only problem is last years straights with guns showed up so 2007 celebration is going be scaled down. Still, We would be in the great Gay mecca on the most scared of all the Gay holiday's .
The Holy Land, New York: See where modern Gay liberation got started, Broadway shows and the Village and who ask for anything more.
The Historical tour,New Orleans: Gay parties and traditions centuries old. Straights are just as bold in their costumes as gays. Would take some studying to get to all the parties and costuming would be a must. Down side David and I aren't huge drinkers
The New Frontier, Toronto: Toronto loves its gay people, so much so that straight feels right at home going to Church Street and gawking. It's close to home, inexpensive and safe.
The Chic one, Chicago: Busy like New York, gay friendly -lots of night life. Gay Parade Halloween evening.
The Southern Jewel, Atlanta: huge gay area lots of club unclear if they any gay Halloween events except at the bars, will take some studying. Love the gay malls. Elton John loves it there co
The Forest of beautiful Pecs, San Diego: Relaxed laid back, Hill crest is great even a Jewish deli for Davids. Great place not too far from Palm springs, which is always fun

So..this is Christmas?
I am one of those people who works Christmas. Actually,it is a trade-off for getting Thanksgiving off. Before David and I were together, I enjoyed working Christmas. I would sometimes work 16 hours both Christmas eve and Christmas day, giving those who wanted Christmas- off . I never felt cheated or depressed. Christmas to me is all about the build up,I enjoy the gift buying, the parties, the decoration the day itself is usually boring-a lack luster finish.
Now, that David is in the picture its all changed. David is a Jew, growing up he was taught that Christmas and Hanukkah should never be mixed (???). David also gets depressed on Christmas. So, he want to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Day. It wouldn't matter what day we celebrate. Christmas day isn't important to me. Bu,David won't listen, like last year and the year before, I now go to work then Celebrate on Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
Now lets recap: I am celebrating a holiday on a day, I don't want tocelebrate it for a man who doesn't celebrate the holiday . GOT IT? -GOOD
Every year I say lets just take a day I have off , make a nice dinner and exchange gifts. Somehow it never works out he'll start out" But you'll be depressed" then I realize he'll be depressed and I'm back splitting holidays and work again.
I have this dream that someday, someone will say," It must be awful having to work Christmas. why don't we celebrate on a day you off, so you can enjoy it too". So far in my life its has never happen not with parent, not with my ex and not with David. Maybe then on Christmas day we would eat left over then head out to the movies.
Every years. I manage to tell myself the holiday is really a giving back to those who love you- I have someone who willing to be there celebrate even though I don't want it. Some people don't have that. It l means I'm a blessed, lucky man-Right?

How I like My Lesbians
My workmates and I, all went out for dinner Wednesday. Lynn and I were the only two gay people at the dinner. We were all enjoying great conversation and good Italian dinner.
Then I noticed a very attractive young couple coming through the door. A tall, very beached blond without a bra in a gold lame strapless dress and stiletto heels. Her smaller dark hair companion was holding the door dressed in mans pants and dress shirt .Like a car accidents I couldn't take my eyes off of them. As the butch ordered dinner for her partner as she giggled discussed shopping and outfits. The dark hair one sat there solemn faced, legs spread tapping her boots as if in annoyance saying only a few words and the occasional grunt.The blond continue to dominate the conversation with unnatural high voice and the dark hair one would nod.
Lynn leaned over and whispered "What are they doing?, it's...it's creeping me out"
"Its called role play, something that was common in the until into 60's, both gays and lesbians did it " I said then added "I thought its was long death"
Lynn "OH MY GOD! I've heard about such things but never thought I would see it"
"I'm angry, I didn't get my ass kicked in high school to have these little muff divers set us back fifty years" I continued "role playing strips your identity" -I like my lesbians to be their own person, give me bumper sticker, brikenstocks and opinions".
My chatter was wasted, Lynn was much too engrossed in watching in the couple" The blond was letting out a high pitched squeal and the brunette padded her ass and pulled her closer.
After a few moments Lynn stated "I can't take any more, I'll be sick"
As we passed their table to leave. We heard the dark hair grunt "My little woman"
"Hurry" I said "I have pepto tables in my car"

Wierd Things about me #1
I love to visit different McDonald's, just for the decor.
In the Sedona's they have a McDonald's with teal green arches( too cool huh?) take a look at this one in Berne, Indiana, a Swiss and Amish community-

A Tend Setter
I was routed off interstate 69 yesterday because of a 30 car pile up. There, I was waiting in my car on Indiana state road whatever with a full bladder. After 20 minutes with no movement , I realize, this was crazy .I looked around unfasten my seatbelt ,undid my pant, grab an empty 44 ouncer and preceeded to take a whiz. I opened the door and poured the urine on the road. I looked behind and seen in the SVR shake his head. r 45 minutes later and l I watched him open his door and pour the contends out of a cup to the pavement. In the next two hour, I watch two more people empting cup to the ground. I can only wonder what the women did.

Happy Birthday Brother
Yesterday was my Brothers 54th birthday. I love my brother, he is everything I'm not, tall, quiet and scholarly. I on the other hand am short, talkie and dyslexic. Not to say that I don't have my strong suits-they just take a bit of searching to find.
My brother was 5'11 when he was 10 years old. In Hoosierland where basketball and local sports is king, he was discussed and eyed in elementary school like a price calf at the fair. Once when he was in the 5th grade and I was in first we had a Magician come to Highland elemtary for a show. He called on the tallest boy in school to come to the stage and face "the guillotine". I already had tears down to my chest, when a sixth grade boy was picked, five inches shorter then my brother. I didn't care about fairness, I was just happy my brother was going to be alright.
Gary was also smart. He once told me if he ever had to study he would have made through school. I think his intelligents was more of a burden then an advantage. We were poor and white going to a middle class school.A feeling of alienation poor white and smart didn't work in class conscience Indiana. He uses to get migraine so bad in junior high we use to have tied a scarf around his eyes. He later took me how out of place he felt in the upper level classes.
Two years before the end of Vietnam War college deferments were taken away which meant he was drafted. He watched the upper middle class and the football jocks all get doctor to sign that weren't healthy enough for service. He hate the service and distrust the government still today.
Not that he is a Republican, but he has a distain for liberals. I’m liberal, but I understand his hatred completely. Except for Molly Ivins, I know of no other liberal who are willing to discuss the class system in American, most denied it even exists. My brother hates Bill Clinton for his remarks about Paula Jones being trailer trash. It is an odd remark from a man who prided himself coming from humble beginning. He uses to get migraine so bad in junior high we use to have tied a scarf around his eyes.
Recently I used the term “pop” for a soft drink in front of my brother. My brother thought I did it to cute. He poured out to 50 years of resentments to me. I realize it couldn’t have been easy having a gay-dyslexic younger bother.
My brother and I couldn’t be less alike, but I’m still he is still a source of pride to me and I’m very glad he didn’t get beheaded.
