what is tha bulge in your pocket?

aLast night I headed out with my friend Matt to get some drinks.  I waited outside on the street corner leaning against a lightpost totally feeling like a hooker, haha, because I didn't want to stand alone in a gay bar for 5 minutes.  But as I stood there, I realized something.  I was listening to my Ipod Nano which I took with me for the walk to the bars or where I was meeting him.  I would have never taken my old Ipod with me (yet would have loved to) but due to its immense fat fuck size and its weight, having that thing bulging your Diesel jean pockets doesn't seem cool.  The only thing bulging should be you.  Yet, as I stood there looking like a hooker I got to listen to some tunes and then once he got there, I slipped the (still unnamed) Ipod Nano into my pocket to go unnoticed for the rest of the night.

It's been about 3 weeks since I have seen him so we had lots to catch up on, and we did.  haha.  We graduated together, have stayed absolutely great friends, have barely had a serious fight, care tons about eachother and for the first time we noticed last night that we are definitely moving on in our lives, and on some level together.  We both have gotten great jobs that we are both excited about even if it isn't the perfect job we imagined we were going to school for, we both now have great boyfriends, much better friends, we both tanked down about 3 Absolut Peach drinks, we made some holiday plans, we both thought the room we were standing in sucked and the men looked like they fell off some boat just crossing illegally into town or something.  It was nearly tragic.  Even though EdgeBoston seems to think the nightlife in Boston is booming, the people have certainly noticed that it is tanking.  And our hopes, as the buzz showed last night, lie on DBar in Dorchester.  Rise, thankfully, is in a league of its own.  Yet, we had a great time and on my walk home, I got some pizza (felt like I was in NYC) and then basically passed out after I had an initial moment of thinking about jerking.  My eyes closed first.

Martha is Back !

There is just no question about it.  She is clearly trying to change how people view her, again, on the new version of the Apprentice if not everywhere else.  I understand, very clearly, that this show was created to do just what it is doing but I am still totally believing it.  I have to say... I like her again.  I think she is cool, smart, has a great eye, and is exceptionally creative.  She talks about going to prison in a pretty open manner (whether it is genuine is up for further discussion), she gets into her previous experience with "all sorts of people," all while looking back upon her life where she has never "quit a job."  Overlap some beautiful horses running around her yard footage, a hip new version of Annie Lennox's Sweet Dreams as her theme, and you have a new Martha.  Not only is she smart.  She is AMAZINGLY FUCKING smart.  She used last nights show to promote her new company (which supposedly was in the works when filming the TVshow) called marthasflowers.com which actually turns out to be a pretty cool site if you are in the market for unbelievably beautiful flowers. 

As for the rest of the show, it kinda sucks.  Except for Jim who should win even though he is a ruthless wacked capitalistic cunt.  He is worthy of the executive job.

In seriously overpriced real estate.  This is for renters but needless to say I fit into that category.  We are above SanFran and LOL Honolulu for once yet obviously under NYC.   Rentals - Real Estate.

Dreaming about Orange County

As Boston gets it shit weather back (its becoming increasingly gray and disgusting slowly), my thoughts instantly turn back to dreaming about California.  I remember instantly my plan with Donna last year to drive cross country and end up in San Diego somewhere but she got a boy and moved to NH.  We both are spending out last day at work together today.  Her because her two weeks is up and myself because I don't give a fuck and a week's vaca sounds pretty nice.  Wow, how a year has changed. 

But going back to dreaming about California.  I woke up last night laughing because for some bizarre sick reason, I dreamt that I was Seth (which in itself isn't that much of a dream) and all of my current friends were with me in the OC yet we were also friends with the cast of the OC, (Ryan, Marissa, Summer, the hot brother of Ryan, all made an appearance) which looking back upon it just turns out to be bizarre.  Yet, while I sit here writing this was worth telling you all about it.  haha.

To go back upon Seth and how it isn't that much of a dream.  I think one of the main reasons why I like this show (other then the California idea) is that Seth reminds me of myself in high school.  I only became really popular when I started dating the class president, a girl, in the middle of my junior year.  That changed everything.  We could call her Summer but I wouldn't.  I didn't play sports, ha, in fact I skipped gym when I could.  I was never beat up, in fact I've never been in a fight but I never was interested in the jock's in the school other then wanting to well.. lick.  I sat in the art room or in the Italian teachers office.  Work felt like a fucking chore.  Ha, in fact it still does.  I was way involved in building burning horses for a pep rally, or organizing dances for some high school dance.  So amongst other things, and a small tear for high school, yah.. I totally am Seth.

And the winner is?

DeLay Is Indicted and Forced to Step Down as Majority Leader - New York Times.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 – Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, the powerful House Republican majority leader, was accused by a Texas grand jury today of criminal conspiracy in a campaign fund-raising scheme. 

Mr. DeLay was indicted on one count charging that he violated state election laws in September 2002. Two political associates, John D. Colyandro and James W. Ellis, were indicted with him.

The indictment of Mr. DeLay, while not entirely unexpected, still reverberated through the Capitol. The House Republican rules require a member of the leadership to step down, at least temporarily, if indicted.

Isn't it time we brought back the guillotine?

Red Sox vs. Yankees. One Kiss.

I noticed this on the way to Cambridge today yet didn't pick it up because I was in a rush.
It seems that the Weekly Dig is popular this week.  Note my last post. 
I think they wanted to stir a lil controversy, don't ya think?

From Gawker:  We have no idea what they’re writing about today — sports? rivalries? gay marriage? bear culture? — but we realize: We really ought to be reading Boston alt-weeklies more often.

Ban Str8 Woman in Gay Bars

I stumbled upon this angry homo giving his opinion in Boston's edge magazine titled "The Weekly Dig."  I found it hysterical and I agree with some of it.  There is more, mainly the beginning of the article, if you follow the above link.

Yeah, I’m happy you accept us, think we’re cool and support out lifestyle. Goddamn, though, I have to deal with you all week at work, while censoring my speech to fit the hetero-normative atmosphere of the office, since you heterosexuals have yet to get past the theory that gay-themed conversation equals adult content. I also have to listen to you bitch about your boyfriends and husbands, and hear intimate details about your best friend’s C-section. Needless to say, when I’m out looking to find some trouble, I’m just not up for hearing any more of that, nor do I want to clean up my act because there’s a “lady in the house.” If you must be there, you could at least go on about the last big dick you sucked or how much it turns you on when your husband is mowing the lawn shirtless. Oops, I forgot. The reason you’re probably in the gay bars is because you detest straight men because all they want is sex. Hate to break it to you; so do we. You being there is just another form of cock-block for us. And we already have enough of that with each other, thanks.

Furthermore, do we have to listen to your stupid comments that “I just love gay men,” or “Gay men are so hot”? Ladies, here’s a news flash for you: There are lots of pretty damn hot straight guys out there, too, and they’re actually willing to fuck you. We’re not. But again, you’re not looking to get fucked, so you’re here, bringing down my numbers for potential hook-ups.

So, yes, ladies, keep supporting gay marriage, equality in the work place and all that good stuff, but please, stay the hell out of our playgrounds. We don’t bother you in yours. Regardless of what you might think, since us gay guys are way too polite for our own good, there’s a big secret you don’t know, and I’m going to tell it to you: We don’t like fish in our pond.

Thanks to Beautiful for finding what follows after the jump.  It turns out that all the hype over Colin Farrel's manhood is well worth the excitement.  Lick.

Crash

This movie coming from Hollywood and doing as well as it has done very much surprises me.  In fact, I called up my other movie fanatic and asked him if he has seen it and turns out I am the one who has clearly been left behind.  It is a real piece of great cinema dealing with some seriously hard, gritty, emotional matters in a post 9-11 world in Los Angeles, if not the United States.  It is hard to point out which is the star of the movie since each performance is heart wrenching and awe inspiring.  From Don Cheadle to yes even Sandra Bullock.  This movie intersects six or so lives over a period of 36 hours and how each life dramatically impacts another whether or not the people intend it to.  This is sorta in the Amores Perros sense but it's less developed in Crash which is a lot more of a statement on race.  And race shown in such a way that even you, the unracist one out there who clearly believes he isn't racist, will hopefully stop and think about the world.  The movie won't leave you speechless but it will deliver some serious thoughts and some seriously powerful scenes including the one which created the movie poster.  Netflix it now !
