Music Memories

I am sitting here at my desk working away and Steve Perry's "Shes Mine" came on Pandora(got to love that website app).  Memories of college came flooding back .... funny how a certain song does that....just a trigger I guess.  Steve Perry came out with his solo album and most of the songs on there were great.  But there always seemed to be one of his songs on the radio when I was driving around the school parking lot looking for a parking space.....the brilliant college that I went to gave out 1500 parking permits for 750 spaces...so it was always hell finding a space. 

Fridays

Today I feel like doing nothing!  I know that I cant, but still I would love to be these guys today.  I think it is post Las Vegas syndrome!  About a week after my return, it hits me....I am tired and all I want to do is exactly what I am NOT doing now!  I have to drive down to a new jobsite in Davie so I am thinking about stopping into another bath house down there called "The Club"....supposed to be pretty upscale so we shall see.  Not really sure why I am so horned up to hit another bath house but what the heck!  In another note, my office has an amazing case of fruit flies....they are everywhere and we cant get rid of them.  We tired bombing the bad boys and alas they were here again this morning. Combat tactical maneuvers must now rule.....we will conquer the little beasts!

Rugby

Doesnt that look like fun!  I have always wanted to play Rugby...I think it would be fun.  I think it would be even more fun to play with other guys of my same mindset!  I would really like there to be a gay rugby team in my city but I dont see that happening anytime soon.  I live in South Florida and there is not too many rugby matches being played here on a weekend!  I just think it would be incredibly bonding to have such a physical bonding relationship with a large group of guys.  I guess that is one reason they are so relaxed about be naked around each other!  I have never met a rugger not totally willing to drop trou at any given moment to get a laugh .... and they always seem to have a smile on their faces.

Welcome two new followers to my blog...now that means I need to write more often!  Thanks to A Breeders Journal  for sending a shout out because I sent him a pic....

I am back from Vegas and really had a good time.  I did something that I had never done before and I have to say that it was alot of fun and I would go again.  I went to a bath house called Entourage and then across the street to Hawks Gym.  I got a great message and a nice soak in the hot tub.  Never had been in a wet steam room before nor had I ever been completely buck naked walking around with other guys.  It was alot of fun.  Did not gamble much which is odd for me but copious amounts of adult beverages were consumed!

Now it is back to work and waiting till the next vacation.

So this little hottie started my day well...is it wrong that I went at 5 miles without remembering where I was going because I was watching him?

Is it just because it is Tuesday?

So why do I feel so down today....seems like nothing went right at all today.  Is it supposed to be this way all the time.  I am not sure really what it is but I am really getting tired of feeling this way.  As you may know, I own a small construction business and business SUCKS!  Big Time.  South Florida is still recovering from whatever economists called the last three years and my business is showing signs of big stress cracks.  I cant seem to catch a break and it is getting old very quickly.  I sincerely feel like I am on the edge.  I come home and I am faced with a newly adopted son and all of his issues and our issues of learning to live together.  The first 25 years of my adult life, I was alone to a great degree and my home was my solice.  Not Now!  Now, I come home and worry about every word that comes out of my mouth, what are we going to eat for dinner, does he have clean clothes for school tomorrow, will I say or do the right thing with the next conversation.  And finally, I am gaining weight, not losing it!  I need a nap!

A Door in the Floor

Wow...what a great movie this was....loved it.  I love movies that start out sort of lame and then you become riveted to it and want it to go on.  It was really excellent on many levels.  And Jon Foster is not bad to look at either!

Rusty

A customer of mine who is also a a friend of mine reminded me of a party that I went to a few years ago with another friend named Rusty.  He is the all American, guy next door, that we all aspire to be!  Good looks and great personality...and good ole Southern boy.  And, at the time, he would get naked in a flash...he was always dropping his pants and parading around to get a laugh.   One party we were at got a little out of hand and by the end of the evening, I was naked with him and three other girls...it was alot of fun at the time but the next morning I regretted shedding my clothes as I worked with these people and managed most of them.  In the end, it did not matter and all was cool...but for awhile, I could not look at him without imagining him naked sitting next to me in the hot tub....at one point our legs and thighs were touching for at least 15 mins and I was really happy the bubbles were heavy because I could not have stood up!  A few months later, Rusty was at another gathering at my house and he decided to get drunk, strip naked and climb my tree in the back yard....he was up there about an hour.  He left the company a few weeks after that but I always enjoyed his smile( and a few other things were nice to look at as well!)

Spring Break and New Reader/Commentor

I was in Starbucks this morning getting my usual and there were three guys in front of me obviously on Spring Break.....instantly popped me back to my college years.  I think spring break is a great part of your life structure that you carry with you the rest of your life.  Mine were not wild and crazy but they were memorable.  Since I lived in Florida, five mins from the beach, my parents house was the destination of choice for my friends and especially my roommates.

I did not mind and my parents loved it...think it let my Dad relive his early years as well.  Lots of beer, lots of fun, and alot of seeing who could pick up a girl for the night...I had no clue back then that I was gay.  All I knew was that I was with my buds and we were having fun.  I think about all our hangups today....back then, we were just so open and honest with each other...doing everything together, being naked or any state of undress around each other, saying whatever was on our minds, laughing/crying/teasing....it was all part of it and we were a band of brothers.  Today, we let things get in the way of having that closeness....wives, kids, work, chasing the next big deal...they all seem to get in the way.  I still am great friends with my college buds, in fact we are going to Las Vegas in about 4 weeks to have a "guys weekend".....when we are there, it is just like back in college....for a very short moment in time, we leave our troubles behind and just "be"!

On another note, I have a new comment on the previous post!!!!  YEAH....thanks Tom.  It warms my soul to know someone is reading!

What makes a Man....A Man?

I was listening to NPR this morning and the discussion was the defining moment in a boy's life when he becomes a man.  Immediately I thought, there is no defining moment as it is a gradual thing built on steps but the callers and commentator actually defined the moment to a specific instance.  It was interesting because guys were giving very specific moments as the defining moment.  And it had nothing to do with anything sexual....as you would have thought.  It was very interesting. I will have to think of my defining moment!  Also it is interesting that there are five social markers that people who study these sort of things referenced:  1/ Completing your education 2/Getting Married 3/ Buying a Home 4/ Moving out of your parents house 5/ Having Children.....these markers are widening in years between the different markers but they still exist in all adults regardless of male or female.

New Follower and Back to Work

YEAH....I have another Follower....Welcome!  I get soo excited when I see a new number in "Followers"!

Serenity

Sometimes I stop at the National Cemetery to calm down a little on hectic, stress days. It is strangely calming.

Vacation Starts

Why is it that I can not be like every other person in America and relishes in the idea that they are going on vacation in two days.  For me it is a nightmarish situation and I hate the days leading up to the actual vacation.  Today is a horrible day and it is only going to get worse as I am trying to cram everything I need to get done into today and tomorrow.  I wish, just once, I could leave to go on vacation and not have this empty feeling in my stomach like everything will come unglued while I am away!  It freaks me out!  And to top it off, it is raining in sunny South Florida today....I hate driving with the other idiots when it is raining.

Blog Stats

Yeah...I am being read!!!!!!  Thanks for daninokc for reading or at least looking at my blog the most...according to the stats page.  I sincerely did not even know that existed until a few mins ago.....I always saw that tab but never clicked it.  Very interesting to say the least.  Anyway...cool.....people know I am out there!

Brothers are Annoying

My Blogs are Boring

Someone was/is reading my blog and someone left a comment!!!! YEAH ME!  And it even made me laugh.  I find my blog to be boring and I need to find a direction for it.  I used to blog all the time on Live Journal.  I tend to like to lurk on here looking at other guys blogs....they are far more interesting. So I think I should find a topic to write about and stick to that type of theme.   So lets see what I come up with!

In other news, I am going to get my haircut tomorrow by a guy that I think is amazingly hot in a very strange sort of way.  He is not even remotely my type and I have nothing in common with him but his demeanor is just plain HOT.  And the best part is that he gets to play with my hair for an hour.

Valentines Day

So today is Valentine's Day and to be honest I am kind of happy not to be in a relationship today.  We were having dinner with my brother and his family last night and his wife went on and on about what she expected from him today.  At one point, I said to him that he needed a week to get all of that done.  He just looked at me and said "she is dreaming".  I think given all the problems they have in there marriage...they need to concentrate on the big issues and not the trivial valentine's crap.  I have to say that people think I mask my problems but I ain't got nothing on them!!!  My brother has some really deep seeded sexual issues that he needs to address of it will haunt him for a long time to come.  It already does now.

Journey and Journies

I often listen to Pandora radio during the day at work.  One of the settings I have is for "80's" which usually puts a fair amount of "old school" songs in the mix.  Journey came on this morning with "Faithfully" and then a few minutes ago with "Separate Ways".   Wow...memories of high school and starting my freshman year of college come flooding back.  The songs themselves do not touch me with the words, it is more the music and what was being played at crucial points during that path.  "Separate Ways" was being played in the car when I was driving to graduation and I for some reason always remember that.  So I pause a little and a smile comes to my face.  I wish my high school experience had been more "normal" but I have come to realize over the years that "it is what it is!"

My nephew left for the basic training in Texas today.  He is going into the Coast Guard....I can remember when he was riding a tricycle and now he is about embark on his career....I am getting old. 

I hope I do not offend..BUT

I had to rent a car today because mine is in the shop....no big deal, just stuff that needs tending too...but the car I rented for the day was a Chevy HHR.  I hope that no one that reads this blog has a car like this....it is terrible with a capital "T".  I hated it big time.  Nothing was in the right place and why would anyone make a car that did not have a cup holder that was within easy grabbing distance of the driver seat???  There are three cup holders in the rear seating area and the car only has enough room for two passengers in the rear.  It is a nice looking car on the outside but my oh my does it suck to drive.

Today I came home early after picking up my truck....I happened to watch the Oprah show on Forgotten Soldiers....Wow that was powerful and I feel motivated to do something but not sure what.  My nephew leaves for the service soon so I am going to think of something.
