Metro Station - Shake It

This song makes me shake shake shake shake a shake it. I guess the lead singer with the tatts is Miley Cyrus's brother Trace Cyrus.

Rain, rain go away

As the saying goes April showers bring May flowers. Well.... there was very little rain in April and we are getting it all now. Normally I like the rain, I feel that its cleansing plus I don't have to water the yard as much. But now that I have a scooter, I'd like to get out on it and get my "break in" miles on it, but all its fuckin doing is raining. Rain is predicted all this week. Last week it was raining and when it wasn't raining it looked as if it was going to rain.

In other news...

I spent this weekend cleaning windows inside and out and basically doing an overall cleaning of the house to prepare for our fireworks party in a couple of weeks. Luckily we got alot accomplished this weekend. We managed to get the living room cleaned out of all the debris and power tools ect. and actually set up as......gasp........a living room. Which means I now have a foyer also, now that the pile of furniture is back in the living room. Salvation Army showed up last Friday and took the furniture that didn't sell it our pathetic yard sale. YAY Thats about it, things are shaping up, the house is looking better than it has in a long time which puts my "neat freak" virgo brain at ease.

A funny thing happened at work this week

Earlier this week the urinal at work was having problems with the water going down. I went and got the plunger and plunged the hell out of it. To my amazement I ended up plunging up the stopper to the sink drain. Funny thing is the sink in this bathroom hasn't had a stopper since I've been here, so it has been in the urinal for several years. Holy shit!.. WTF!

Ignorace in the gay community

As some of you remember Scooby and I had a room mate for a while, little over a year ago. Scooby and I are HIV+, our room mate was/is not. Recently I was conversing with a guy and my partner and I's HIV status came up and the guy replied, "your room mate was also, wasn't he?" I told him he wasn't and he said, "Well I and other people just figured he was since he lived with you guys."

WTF??? Why is it that if you know or live with someone who is HIV+, that people automatically assumes you are HIV+ also. With this kind of ignorant thinking I guess it shouldn't surprise me time and again, that alot guys will immediately quit chatting with me online once they find out I'm HIV+.

Another instance was with our friend who recently had health issues. He had an enzyme surge which caused some temporary paralisis. (Note: he's doing much better and has almost completely recovered) But the gay community automatically labled him as having AIDS, which he doesn't, in fact he's HIV-. Just because he's young and had a temporary health issue he was branded with HIV/AIDS.

The ignorance of these queens spreading these hateful rumours blows my mind. Here are a couple of guild lines to help you protect yourself and be a decent human being.

1.) ALWAYS practice safe sex and treat all sexual partners as if they are HIV+.
2.)Don't spread rumours about people unless that person has confirmed the rumour and says its ok to tell other people.

end of rant....

Not much is new....

Sorry I haven't posted shit lately but nothing is really new. During the week I work and on the weekends we tend to go to the flea market and then have friends over for a bbq on most Sundays. Thats it.... Totally bored and repeticious (is that a word?) Anyway my spending money these days goes to put gas in my car so I can go to work. I cash returnable cans and bottles in for stuff like beer and trail mix. Woo hoo...

I have put 90 miles on my scooter so far and love the shit out of it. I've got another 200 miles to go until I can drive it 45mph, the break it period. Then I'll be able to drive it to work. I had a hitch put on my car today and bought a motorcycle/scooter carrier so I can take it to my skills test. I'm actually not suppose to drive it on my own until I pass the skills test but how the fuck am I suppose to get skills if I can't drive the dam thing. hello...... I plan on taking the test soon, probably by the end of the month.

Anyway thats about it, like I said not much it new.

Ennio Marchetto Paper Quick Change Artist Theater teaser

Lombard St., San Francisco

As my friend Leslie drove down Lombard St. I hung out the sunroof and recorded the drive. The wind noise is kind of annoying so you might want to turn down the sound.

My San Francisco trip

My trip to California was fun. Thursday I went into the city and to hang out. I had lunch at Harvey's on Castro, great ceasar salad btw. Took pictures of the Castro theater and Twin Peaks (the bar), and several at Alamo Square Park.

Friday my friends took me up to Napa and Calistoga. We went to a spa and had volcanic mud baths. My assistant Sergio was a cutie. I soaked in the hot mud for about 25 min. then showered and was taken to the meditation room for a hot towel wrap. After my treatment I went back and swam in their pool for a bit before we took off for lunch. We then headed back and hit a couple of the wineries on the way home.

Saturday we went to Ikea and then to see "Iron Man" which totally rocked! Then Sunday we headed into the city and had excellent Mexican food and then headed to Dolores Park and hung out in the sun. The music was great and we found out before we left that it was the "Gay, Lesbian, Transgender picnic" going on in the park that day. My friends then took me around the city so I could take more pics.

Most of Monday I spent at Steamworks in Berkeley. Tuesday I went back to Steamworks but it was less then eventful so I headed into the city around 3pm for a late lunch. The Deli we tried to go to on Sunday was open this time so I stopped and grabbed some grub and headed back to Dolores Park and sat and ate my lunch.

That was about it. Had a great visit with my friends.

Got back to find out that one of our friends has become paralized while I was gone. He's in his late 20's and just lost complete use of his legs. The Doctors discoved that he had a surge of enzymes in his body that was distroying his muscles. Apparently you usually have around 100 enzymes and his body had like 9,000. They stabilized him and got his enzyme level down, and he is now able to walk with a cane. He still doesn't have any feeling in his feet, and when I called today it sounded as if he was going back in the hospital. To add insult to injury, while he was in the hospital his bf left him........for his exbf. We had him over this weekend and took him to the flea market and tried to get his mind off his troubles. I hope it worked at least a bit, cuz I'm very worried about him.

BearTrapping.com (the truth about)

I've been getting spam from BearTrapping.com forever. Finally yesterday I signed up and found out today that you can't do anything on the site without paying 10 bucks a month. No emails, no nothing. So I politely told them to cancel my profile because I couldn't afford their pay site and this is the response I got:

"You can't afford a lousy $3 a month? what the fuck are you using the internet for adult content for then, loser. Get a fucking job."


WOW what a way to run a website. Even when I do get some extra money I'm sure as hell not going to spend it there. FUCKING ASSHOLES......

Its Morel season

Most people take trips up north to forage in the woods looking for the Morel mushroom. This weekend I found 4 in the backyard. I plucked them, and we took them in and sautee'd them in butter and garlic. OMG!!! They taste just like a juicy delicious steak. YUM!

I probably won't be posting until the end of next week. Wednesday I leave for San Francisco for a week. Friday some friends and I are going to Calistoga and the wine country and have reservations for a volcanic mud bath. Pamper pamper...

Get your motor running

Well my scooter showed up yesterday. I went to the Secretary of States office (DMV in most states) to get license plates and found out that it is considered a motorcycle. Which means I need a special license to drive a motorcycle. So I got the study book and went home. Went back today and took the test and I only missed one question. YAY So now I have a temporary motorcycle learners permit. I can only ride when I'm with someone who has a motorcycle license. God I feel like I'm fucking fifteen again. Now I have to study the skills test and if I pass I'll be able to ride the dam thing. If I fail the test twice then I'll have to take a motorcycle course, which are booked up till fall.

Had I of known that I had to go through all this I'd of just bought a motorcycle. I might eventually anyway. Both Scooby and I have decided to take the motorcycle learners class to refresh our memories on how to ride a motorcycle since we haven't done it since we were in our teens.

I was reading the owners manual today and it says that in order to break it in correctly that I should drive less then 35mph for the first 300 miles, then 45 mph until 500 miles, then 55mph until 1000 miles. Jeez maybe I won't be driving it to work this year since the speed limit is 50 on the road I planned on taking. Dam its gonna take awhile to get that first 300 miles on the dam thing.

In other news: I get my stitches out of my face tomorrow. YAY

Retract that last post

Ok granted I only drink on weekends but it has gotten out of control. Last Saturday evening I fell again but this time wasn't so lucky. I fell and on the way down my face hit the kitchen counter and I spit my cheek open. I then spent the next few hours in the emergency room getting about 5 stitches. I think that I finally had some sense knocked into me. Hopefully

More drinking, a Jockstrap hat, and a new ride...

Today I found my jockstrap under the couch. Then it came back to me.....last Sunday night we partied again, this time with alot of beer and a couple of pints of whisky......and for a while I wore my jock as a hat. At least I wasn't as drunk as the weekend before. I recently was told that four guys carried me into the house that weekend. I think I shocked our exroomies bf by playing John Waters "Desperate Living". I think all people young or old should watch it at least once. lol

Monday I was of course feeling like shit and vowed to quit drinking. HA..... I do really well during the week sustaining from alcohol but now its Friday and I would really like some beer. Note I didn't say "a beer", because I can't just have one. In fact thats my problem, once I start I have a problem stopping until I collapse. But hey its the only affordable fun when your low income folk. A 30 pack of Milwaukees Best is 15.00 and that includes bottle deposit, and it lasts for the entire weekend. Hello I'm Mike and I'm a weekend alcoholic....

Gas has gone up to 3.75 a gal. So this week I bought a Merato 150-TE scooter. It gets 85 mpg and goes 60 mph. So once it arrives and I get it broke in I'm gonna drive it to work on good weather days. Granted I'm going to have to take side roads, but hey I hate the highway anyway, especially now that contruction season is upon us. Its about 20 miles to work, should be interesting. Actually I think it will be cool flying through the country side to work. The scooter is arriving next week. I already bought both Scooby and I helmets since it can carry two people. we will definately be flying around town on it.

Anyway thats it for now, have a good weekend.

Weekend recap

Yesterday we bbq'd. What started out as having a couple of friends over ended up being 10 people. We ended up going through 3 fifths of whisky and a almost a fifth of vodka and about 20 beers. I'm surprised I don't feel all that bad considering I blacked out after the 3rd fifth of whisky arrived. We drank, we ate great food, we drank, we danced, we drank, I fell down repeatedly, or so I am told....
We were asked to host this every weekend but I think my liver would fail after the first month.

In other news I rode my bike down to the park three times last week. It was cloudy this morning so I skipped it today. Hopefully tomorrow.

Reflection

Yesterday and today I got up and went for a bike ride down at the park behind the house. It was great getting out in the nice weather. Not sure if my gauge is right but it read between 75-80 degrees today. I road down past the ducks and geese that were meandering about. Even saw a couple of hot young guys out walking.

Scooby and I have been getting along good for the last couple of days also. He has some good qualities and I have to say that I have never gotten along better with another person in my life. Thats probably why I'm not ready to throw it all away. If he could just get a job and quit his occasional weekday binge drinking things would be perfect. But "perfect" is a fantasy word that doesn't exist in real life. Most of the people I know have relationship problems and if they don't then they're just real good at hiding it, or they're not together enough to have problems.

My friend Thurston has a good saying, "How can I miss you if you won't go away" and its totally true. If your away from your lover now and then I feel it helps the relationship, cuz you miss them. If your around each other constantly then you can get on each others nerves. I'm speaking long term here though, after the newness wears off. Scooby and I have been together for 11 yrs. I remember my mom saying at my parents 50th wedding anniversary, "It's along time to be with the same person" I think thats where I got my sarcastic sense of humor.

Most people don't get me, and I'm ok with that. Scooby on the other hand does get me and I value that. He only works four hours a week and I value those four hours to myself. I work 40 plus hours a week but I don't count that as time apart because I'm working. There's a difference, at least to me when it comes to free time apart and work time apart. That's probably why I'm anticipating my trip to San Francisco next month by myself because I need/deserve a break from my life.

But anyway thats it for now

Rant

I'm kind of irratated today. It started Monday around 3pm when I was getting ready to go to work and one of our unemployed friends stopped by in his process of getting drunk. By the time I got home Scooby was drunk also. Then Tuesday another of our unemployed booze hound friends stopped by and and preceded to get Scooby drunk again.

Is it just me or am I justified to be pissed off. I'm tired of working my ass off while jobless people are getting shitfaced at my house. Only to get home and have to clean up the empty coke cans, shot glasses and dirty ashtrays. When I got home last night I found my laundry/cleaning supply closet had been ransacked. My dirt devil broom that I just bought this last weekend had been jammed back in to the point that the bristled edge was all fucking bent up and now doesn't pick up all that great.

I'm tired of being the bad guy. I think about breaking up with Scooby regularly. If he wasn't so handy and knowledgable about carpentry/electrical and plumbing I'd of broke up with him by now. I do love him, but stop drinking during the week and get a fuckin job!!! It also pisses me off that he doesn't have money to put gas in his car but has it to buy a fucking bottle of whisky.

I've got to start making rules again and I hate that. This is what I've got so far:

No drinking in the house Mon.-Thur.
If you do drink, don't come home, let me know where u are, but don't come home.
If there is drinking in the house or you come home drunk we are done.

Then he will have a choice of either moving to another room with a possiblity of reconciling or I will pay him to leave with no reconciling.

It would be one thing if he worked alot on the house, but I have to nag him to get him to do anything most of the time. I normally just do it by asking him, "So what are you doing today?". He has been working on the house for 10 yrs. I really feel he's dragging his feet because he knows he'll have to get a actual job when he's done.

End of rant....

UUGGHH!!!

Well gas hit 3.55 a gallon this weekend. Needless to say I'm a bit bummed and panicy considering its not even summer yet. I can barely afford to drive to work now. I'm trying to decide how I can cut our expenses. I've already given up eating out other than once a week I'll treat us to Rally's. Just the sandwich though cuz its cheaper to take it home and drink our own coke. I think the next will be to cancel long distance on our landline. Scooby can call his mom in OK from his tracphone if he needs too. Also I'm considering canceling the sat. dish when it comes due next January. :( Being low income is soo fucking much fun.

Weekend update

This weekend was the first weekend we were able to open the windows and air out the house. The temps reached about 70 degrees. It felt to fuckin good to be outside again. I got most of the yard raked and even started a compost bin.

We had friends over Saturday and Sunday for a BBQ and cocktails. Not much else to report....

AWOL cat and a leaking roof

I got home from work last night at 12:30am and no Clyde. I asked Scooby where he was at and he replied, he's around here someplace. In the meantime Kiddo wanted to go out on the back porch which is our summer living room and winter storage room. I let him out there and he started investigating and right before I shut the door I heard a very faint "meow". I called out for Clyde and heard him again but couldn't determine where it was coming from. I thought maybe upstairs in the attic since the attic wall and the porch wall are the same, but when I went upstairs I found the attic door was locked.

Ok so then I went back out on the back porch and heard him again and thought maybe its just another cat outside. So then I searched the house and no Clyde and returned to the back porch. I heard him again and started to look throught the clutter thinking he got trapped in it somewhere. Scooby then starts to help me and says it sounds like he's in the attic. He then tells me he was up there earlier checking out a new roof leak. So we head up there and open the door and sure enough there he was all covered in dirt. Note the picture below that he's mostly white. Scooby didn't see him get past him while he was up there. Poor boy had been up there for hours so the first thing he did was head for the litter box once he got out. I brushed the dirt off of him as best I could and him and the rest will be getting a bath soon as it gets a little warmer.

Sorry for a cat post but I've got nothing else going on. It rained all day yesterday, the roof started leaking in the bathroom downstairs. So now it looks like we got more work to do this spring/summer to get that fixed. yay....

Here's a pic taken today of Clyde and Kiddo taking a nap in there favorite cardboard box.

My babies are online stars

Hey everyone, A picture of my kitties Clyde and Kiddo w/Paula Abdul was posted on "Cute with Chris" today! Here's the original minus Paula. FYI Kiddo isn't eating butter, I had water in the butter dish.

Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Here's a pic of Notre Dame's Mascot, I thought it was fitting for today. Had a few friends over Saturday night and we drank some beers and had a few shots of whisky. Almost didn't make it to the parade yesterday cuz I was extremely hung over from the night before. After the parade we stuffed ourselves with corn beef and cabbage and I did manage to suck down a Bloody Mary. Lots of hotties at the parade, but they only had one bag pipe band which was kind of a disappointment, love to see guys in kilts, especially if they have furry knees. WOOF!!

Liam Finn Second Chance

Sexy bearded Liam Finn being cute and goofy. He's damn Woofy!!

Today was the first day that it was nice enough to be outside with out a coat. I was finally able to clean the outside windows of the Gallery. YAY winter is about over!

Farewell Winter Steele

Well I was planning on posting the last episode of Winter Steele yesterday but the guy that had posted them on YouTube said his computer crashed and they are no more. Dam, but I don't think anyone watched them here anyway so oh well. I loved that little marionette biker chick.

Vacation planning

Well its official, I will be in San Francisco on vacation in mid May. I'll be going out there by myself since Scooby only works 4 hrs. a week and can't afford to go. Actually I'm kind of excited about traveling by myself. Its been along time since I went anywhere on my own, other than work that is.

Scooby is planning on spending a couple of days with my extremely well endowed ex bf while I'm gone, which I'm totally cool with. Now that is an open relationship. lol

Winter Steele Episode Seven

Winter Steele Episode Six

Winter update

It looks like we broke our record for snow fall in February with a total of 28 inches so far, breaking the 22 inches that was recorded in 1908. WooHoo....

I bet we won't have any more snow this winter. Why you might ask...... I had to buy a new snow blower last week. It was decided that the old one was toast, and I needed to get one that was a little larger anyway. So most of my income tax money will go for that, another WooHoo. But now that I'm prepared for anything I bet it won't snow, so I'll probably have to wait till next year to use it.

Winter Steele Episode Five

Winter Steele Episode Four

Sorry I haven't posted much lately other than shit of off youtube. Its just that this winter is kicking my ass. After last weeks dump of a foot of snow my right shoulder started giving me problems to the point last Friday I quit playing a game online cuz it was just too painful. Now I've got pain in both shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. It doesn't help that my muscles in my arms and legs are going numb. I need to get to the Dr. The joint pain is probably arthoritis and the numbness is because of HIV meds and over exersion.

It didn't help today when we got another 4 inches of snow and my snow blower quit on me. I ended up having to shovel the driveway, appoach and the sidewalk. The neighbor has been snowblowing my sidewalk if I didn't have it done but today he didn't. I loaded the broken snowblower into my car and took it to a repair place, then my tail gate wouldn't open so the repair guy and I had to lift it over the tailgate. UGH

Then at work maintenance has been throwing out massive amounts of salt outside which get tracked back in. I have been busting ass trying to keep up with it. I have to sweep and vacuum every inch of my buildings not to mention mopping the floors over and over to get the salt up. I'm so tired and I fear that I don't have many more winters that I can do this job and the only other thing I'm good at is sucking cock. LOL

Anyway thats why I haven't posted much, cuz I'm in my normal winter funk and I'm achey numb and tired as shit. To top it off I heard today that its going to snow again Thursday night. FUCK

Funny LILY TOMLIN Skit for G-R-R-R-R Laundry Detergent

Here's something funny to start your weekend.

Snoooooow

It steadily snowed all day yesterday until about 1am this morning. We got about a foot, but with drifting and snow plows most of it was at least 4 foot deep and heavy like a pile of rocks. I slept from about 6pm and got up at midnight remembering that I forgot to set out our trash dumpster. OMG! I had a hella time getting the bitch out to the street, then had to dig a hole for it to sit in. So needless to say today was spent digging ourselves out.

Winter Steele Episode Three

Mika - Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)

I asked a magic 8 ball today if I'd ever be happy with my life. The response: Don't count on it....
Here's something that makes me happy. Mika's songs always puts a smile on my face.

Winter Steele Episode One

I loved this mini series from Liquid Television so for the next several weeks it will be Winter Steele Wednesdays.

Too pissed off to be sad

Last Friday marked the 1 year anniversary of my fathers suicide, but I was really too pissed off to be sad. Its started with getting Scooby some crutches. Walgreens rental on crutches are $ 40 dollar deposit and then 4 dollars a week. We kind of decided that we're no spring chickens so we should probably just buy some used ones someplace. Luckily I found a pair on Ebay, starting bid .99 cents and the seller was only about 40 minutes away. I emailed the seller and asked if I won could I pick up in person, cuz I need them asap, no problem said the seller. Wednesday morning I won the crutches for .99 cents. I immediately emailed the seller again telling him that I could pick up tomorrow between 10am-3pm and would he be home. I planned on visiting a friend in the area while I was up their then head to work from there.

Wednesday.....no response
Thursday morning....no response

So I cancel my plans to visit my friend and went to paypal and paid for the crutches. Late Thursday night I get an email from the seller telling me that tomorrow will be fine that he will be home. GRRRRR I email him back saying that I emailed Wednesday morning and that when I said tomorrow I meant Thursday and that I couldn't make it on Friday and to just mail the crutches since I already paid for the shipping through Paypal. Then he tells me that he's a new member of Paypal and because of this won't recieve payment for 3-4 days and will ship once he receives payment. I email back that I've never heard of this new member paypal procedure, but whatever. He then tells me that he don't care whether I believe him or not and that he didn't understand why I didn't ask for his phone # because he was home all day Thursday.

By this time I was to angry to respond back. What was the point of asking for a phone # when he didn't respond back until Thursday night. Long story short the crutches should be here tomorrow.

NEXT

I couldn't make it up there Friday cuz I had a house cleaning job that morning before work. Back story on this, I've cleaned house for this guy for about a year. I really didn't want the job when I got it cuz the house is filled with half antiques and half worthless crap. Tons of shit to dust and to add insult to injury everything is filled with those dollar store colored glass stones. But we agreed to 45 dollars every other week and I could use the money.

Well last fall I was vacuuming and backed into a bakers rack. I heard something fall and sure enough one of the bottles of wine fell and landed on a soup tourine and broke the handle of the lid. I cleaned up the mess and tried to put the bottle back but it was shorter than the others and would not stay up on the rack. I wrote a note apoligizing and also told him the bottle was to short and would not stay on the rack. Luckily there was no makers mark on the tourine so it probably wasn't worth much

Next time I go to clean the bottle is back on the rack. This time I'm just dusting the clutter on top of the rack when the bottle falls again but this time smashes a creamer that does have a makers mark. I write another note apoligizing again and said I'll try to replace the creamer. I really didn't feel it's my fault, but hey I try to be a nice guy.

Anyway last Friday I get there and he's got this list of things to do and at the bottom he writes, "Be careful with the breakables". That was it....... I cleaned the house did everything on the list then wrote him a note nicely resigning from the job. I also left the check telling him to use it towards replacing the creamer, left his house key and left through the garage door.

So basically the end of last week was a total GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Healthcare rant

Scooby got his cast on his left foot Monday. Our Dr. office really pisses me off. First they didn't tell him before hand that he should have someone with him to drive him home. He thought they were going to put him in a walking cast. Not...... Then AFTER they put the cast on him they give him the script to get crutches and a walking boot. Did I mention that we had a snow storm Monday. He's lucky he didn't break his neck.

I don't understand why they didn't give him the script last week so he would be prepared for getting the cast. WTF!!! They did manage to wheel chair him out to his car, but I guess after that who the fuck cares.

Vacation drama

We got into New Orleans mid afternoon Dec. 26.. We ventured out to visit with our favorite bartenders and preceded to get drunk. We then started to argue about Scoobys black out problem that I had just learned about. Note: things have been getting damaged around the house several times in 2007 but it was always blamed on the cats until I witnessed Scooby doing it recently. The day after he had no recollection of doing it.

Anyway we argued and he left me at the bar. Shortly after, I took off and took a walk around the Quarter. I called him later to meet me near the car and he never showed. I called him a bit later and he ended up wandering out of the Quarter and got lost and didn't know where he was. I told him to find a corner street sign and call a cab, but he couldn't find any street signs. I drove around for an hour or so trying to find him but had no luck. Hours later he found a cop who directed him to a corner so he could call a cab.

In the process of him being lost he fell down and fucked up his foot and his face. By the time he made it back to the bar, blood ran from the bridge of his nose all down his face. Did I note that this was Wednesday and we didn't have actual lodging until Friday, also that it rained for the first couple days of our trip. We stayed at the bath house the first night and I got us a room at a really cheap motel Thurs. night because Scooby needed to get off of his hurt foot. He refused to go to a Dr. or anything while we were there.

Now that we are back, he's had his foot exrayed and it is indeed fractured and he got a cast today.

That was pretty much the excitement of our trip. Otherwise it was pretty low key while we were there this Holiday.

I'm back

Happy New Year!

Our trip to NOLA was not as eventful as past trips. I'll write more later on events. My back is out of wack and I woke up with pink eye this morning. Fun fun...

Meanwhile entertain yourself with this new sex blog I found on line. ;)

Mansex Journals

I also linked it in my "Not safe at work" listings

Happy Holidays!

Just want to say Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The weather looks good this morning so we are going to hit the road in an hour or two and head to New Orleans.

Best Wishes to all, Mike

Female Trouble - Dawns Xmas Present

I wanted Cha Cha heals dammit!!!

I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas

Let Christmas break begin

Today is the last day of work for me for two weeks. YES!!! I'm so looking forward to having the time off. We should be leaving for NOLA Christmas day, weather permitting. We've decided to live out of our car and the bath house for the first couple of night before we can get into my timeshare on friday.

I've got most of my sex stories moved to another site and will start deleting them off of here soon. I'm going to keep this blog it will just be my vanilla everyday shit. Hope everyone has a great Holiday!!

It was suggested this weekend that I should delete my blog. I'm taking it into consideration. I spent today deleting some posts that I thought might have affended anyone. I don't know if I can delete over three years of my life though.

Update: I think I at least have to take all of my sex stories and move them to a more anonymous blog. I've noticed in my site meter that someone at work has been spending alot of time here.

Holiday plans

I can't believe that there is only two weeks until winter break. I'm anticipating having two weeks off. We've got plans to stay in NOLA from Dec. 28-Jan 4. I'd like to go down earlier but can't really afford staying two weeks down there. Unless we spend the first week living out of my car and the bath house, which might happen. I don't know. I'm going to have to try and find someone for snow removal when we are gone.

I can't wait to get down there. I haven't been finding any extra ciricular sex around here. Its been one massive dry spell. It's getting to the point that sometimes I wish I wouldn't have gotten tested. I chatted with one guy online and was complaining about not being able to find sex and he commented, "well you are hiv". I guess anymore guys around here are too afraid to even recieve blow jobs. Its very frusterating.

Anyway, this weekend I'm going to start my holiday baking. I do this instead of buying our friends presents. It's mostly going to be bread and pecan praline muffins. I will bake an apple pie for the neighbors, since I know that they look forward to it.

Scooby has been sick for several days. Thursday night he woke up and started puking blood. That luckily subsided and he then had the flu for the rest of the weekend. Today he is starting to feel back to normal again. Thursday he's going up north to do work on a friends cabin and will be gone until Saturday. I'm anticipating having some time to myself, maybe I'll take a trip to the bookstore.

Thats it for now, sorry I haven't blogged lately much but there is nothing going on worth blogging about.

Gay marriage in Oklahoma

I was talking with this guy at a bar in OKC who is from OK but now lives in San Francisco. He told me that when gays started pushing for marriage the christians in Oklahoma like many other states managed to get an amendment passed banning same sex marriage.

He also told me that the native american tribes in Oklahoma acknowledge/ accept and perform same sex marriages and that Oklahoma government has to acknowledge and accept native american customs and laws. Apparently Oklahoma government tried to fight this but alot of the money that maintains the bridges and helps schools in the state comes from the casinos owned by the native americans. All they had to do was threaten to stop their donations and Oklahoma government backed down immediately.

HA....

Shitty Kitty

Scooby invited this bottom over a few weeks ago. The guy waited till he got to our place to get cleaned up. It was my first time with him and Scooby's second.....I think. He has a smokin hot body but a totally dirty hole. He gets here, cleans up, we start to play and Scooby starts to finger him and he totally soils our bed. I lost interest immediately and luckily I had to go to work and left them to play.

The next day there is shit splatters on the floor in the bathroom and plus the hose to our "Sureshot" is now broken. That kinda pissed me off since the thing cost almost 100. bucks. Who the hell splatters shit on someone elses floor and just leaves it? Maybe its the virgo in me but I would never be so nasty.

Also I keep our toys in a plastic shoebox size container to keep them clean and sanitary. I normally leave a heavy duty paper towel in the bottom in case I don't dry the toys off completely after cleaning them and putting them away. I go to use one of them and the paper towel is all dishevled and covered in shit splatters also. Fucking nasty..... I had a talk with Scooby and told him that if he wants to play with "nasty shit hole guy" that he's gonna have to do it at his house from now on.

Back

We got back Sunday from out road trip to Oklahoma. I've never traveled secondary highways through OK before and was surprised how rural the state is. The majority of the state is grazing land for cattle, not much else. Scooby had a good visit with his mom. She had 14 people for Thanksgiving.......oiy. Scooby's mom is an excellent cook and tried to feed me till I exploded. She had made cinnamin rolls from scratch and fed me two one morning then when I got done eating them announced that we were going out for breakfast. Needless to say Scooby and I declined the offer, since we were already stuffed.

Friday we headed to OKC to the Habana. What a fun place. The bars onsite were busy and so was the cruising around the hotel rooms. I managed to drag a beefy trucker back to the room and drain him of his man gravy. Slurp Slurp.... Definately got to go back if we get the chance.

We had excellent weather for driving. Here are a few observations of the road trip:
Missouri obviously don't have a child safety seat law considering all the toddlers I saw bouncing around in the back of vehicles. Is Britney from there?
In Indiana its more important to text message on busy highways than pay attention to the road, especially if you've got a carload of children.

Thats about it, hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Oklahoma bound

I know I haven't posted much lately, but I probably won't be posting anything next week. We are leaving Saturday on a road trip to Oklahoma to visit Scooby's mom for Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to having a week off since its been almost a year since I've have taken an entire week.
We are planning on visiting his brother in Ponca City then off to Woodward to visit his mom. Since we are not going to be anywhere near a gay bar we plan on staying Friday night after Thanksgiving in Oklahoma City at the Habana Inn. Apparently they have a couple of bars right at the hotel. Come watch me get loaded......

Michigan AIDS WALK rant

I participated in the AIDS WALK again this year and we raised around $25,ooo I am told. We were also told that the money was going to go for AIDS testing........WTF. This kind of irritated me because the Health Dept. does anonymous testing for free, why are they wasting all the money on testing.

For several months I've been submitting my bills for labs and my Dr. to the local HIV/AIDS organization and normally they get paid. Well this time, I'd submit and then a weeks later I'd get billed again saying it hasn't been paid and to please pay now. I submit again and the same thing over and over. I finally found out that they hadn't gotten there Ryan White funds in yet to pay any clients bills. They promised me that they would be paid by the end of the week, a couple of weeks ago. Today I get a letter saying that my bill has gone into collections. WTF....WTF...WTF.........

I'm so angry I could spit fire. I hope to fucking god this doesn't fuck up my credit, cuz I need to refinance my house next year. Plus I'm wondering if the lab and Dr. will make me pay upfront from now on because of this. FUCK

Halloween update

Well our party last Saturday was good. We had about 53 people, good crowd. We are debating though about having anymore Halloween parties. Its just too much fucking work. First its normally cold out so we tarp off the backyard which is a complete hassle, set up and tear down. And honestly, I just don't have the energy to do all this anymore. Plus I'll probably be drinking keg beer for weeks to finish it off.

Normally I enjoy the morning program Halloween shows, but this year they were.....ehh. Regis and Kelly was suppose to be in 3D. Some of it was but they didn't throw the stuff directly into the camera to get the true effect of 3D. Regis dressing up as David Letterman and Kelly as Paul Schafer was funny, but there guest was Dr. Phil. Who the fuck decided to have him on a Halloween show. Boring. Then they had Kelly as Judge Judy, which she imitates alot anyway, so why bother. If she says, "Don't pee on my leg and tell me its raining" one more time I'd like to slap her.

Martha was ok, but all her talk about the Devil was kind of creepy. I'm sure the AFA will probably ban her now.

The best was "The Late Show with Craig Ferguson". He had the Sex Pistols on and they also performed, it got the biggest laugh out of me of all the shows.

Sorry I haven't blogged much lately. Like usual after our party I had a day or two of depression. I don't know why but its normal. Plus I really haven't had too much to say, have been debating about closing up shop here. Just out of witty reparte' I guess.

Anyway hope everyone had a great Halloween. It looks like we will be going to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving to visit Scooby's mom. Not much else is new.

Gravity boots should not be used without assistance

Sometime last year I bought some gravity boots. I thought it would be good for my back to hang upside down. Well ever since then I've been nagging Scooby to install a bar some where so I could use them. Today was the day. He installed the bar up in the attic/playroom/hobby room. After he finished with the installation he went back downstairs to watch tv and I started searching for the boots. I found them without too much effort....surprisingly. Then I ventured upstairs. I first did about a half a dozen chin ups on the new bar.

This was probably my mistake since I have problems with my shoulders and not alot of strength in my arms. So then I put on the boots and get them hooked to the bar. At this point I'm kind of afraid to let go, cuz I have a feeling I'm not going to be able to get back up to unhook when I'm done. But what the hell, I let go and sure enough I can't get back up to unhook my feet.

I then yell for Scooby........and yell........and yell. As I'm shouting my change falls out of my pockets, then my wallet and then my cell phone. Finally Scooby hears me and comes up to the attic to find me hanging upside down. By this time I'm kind of light headed because of the all blood that has rushed to my head. We both struggled quite a bit but he did manage to get me down.

So anyway the moral of the story is: Don't use gravity boots without assistance.

No plans and my body's downward spiral

Home Depot hasn't worked Scooby in several weeks. So of course they scheduled him to work on my birthday. This happens every year, which is no big deal cuz it gives me free time to play. Of course my fuck/suck buddies are busy also. Dam..... So I'm thinking about heading to the bookstore, hopefully I can find someone to blow who's not a senior citizen yet.

My back is getting a little bit better. I've quit using anything on it other than an occasional heating pad. My hips and legs still ache though. God I'm going to be 41 tomorrow, I'm afraid my body isn't going to make it to retirement. I forgot to mention that I threw my neck out while taking a shower this weekend. If this is what the 40's are all about, kill me now. Thankfully my neck only took a day to heal.

So I'm taking tomorrow off and Wednesday in case I need to recouperate. I said I had no plans in the title but actually I plan on taking us out to the local chinese buffet for lunch Wednesday and I kind of want to see Rob Zombies Halloween. Schools back in session so an early show shouldn't be busy at all. And as for tomorrow I'm hoping to find me some strange, hopefully more than one. Wish me luck.

Back pain, shock treatments & the bf goes back to work

Last week I bent over to pick up some trash and my lower back immediately seized up. I'm fine as long as I stay sitting or standing, but trying to stand after sitting is very painful. I've used a heating pad most of the week, tried stretching and was still having problems. Today I started switching from heat to cold and it seems to be working.

Also I totally forgot about my tens unit. I bought it last year after watching xtubes e-stim videos with guys having hands free orgasms. Needless to say it was a little too shocking for my privates, but it works great on my back. I'm being shocked as I write, and thank god its not as painful to stand up now.

Also Scooby worked this week. Luckily one of our straight friends tried to fix his own shower leak and reefed on the pipe too much and broke it. So Scooby fixed that for them and while he was there the wife decided to get a new vanity also. So guess what, I'll be getting a birthday card from my baby this year!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and a big Happy Birthday to Homer on Sunday!

Weekend review

This weekend we finally got the windows installed in the side porch which has been wrapped in a blue tarp for a couple of years now. So we are finally blue tarp free and the questions of "when are you going to take down that blue tarp?" will now come to an end. YAY! We had friends up from Detroit this weekend and a bunch of us went to the flea market. Scooby found some outdoor flood lights so the outside of our house in now illuminated. I made breakfast for everyone on Sunday which included, bacon, eggs, toast, hash browns and waffles.

Next week we hope to install the new porch posts which have been sitting around for a year or more. Will try and take some pics and post if it stops raining. It started raining this evening and is suppose to continue into tomorrow.

Its been weeks since I let Scooby fuck me so last night I put out and he broke me back in good. He moved the sling upstairs to the attic/hobby room. There's more room up there so it worked out good. He stretched me out with a couple of our toys then plunged his own cock deep in me. He stood there and guilded me on and off of his cock. Did i mention that I love our sling......

This and that

I think my favorite CD this year has been Amy Winehouse's Back to Black. Every song on the CD rocks! I was really bummed that her USA tour has been cancelled. Even though the nearest concert was going to be in Chicago, amost 6 hours from home, I considered driving it to see her. I kind of worry about her with all the stuff I've heard recently about the trip to the hospital and all the drugs they found in her plus alcohol. It was also rumoured that she was seen in a bathroom smoking a crack pipe. God I hope thats false. I'd hate to see such a talented woman end up dieing of a drug overdose.

******************

My birthday is coming up this month. Scooby has told me in the past to write it on the calender or else he won't remember. Last year he couldn't even afford a card so this year I was thinking, why bother to remind him. But then I figured that he gets plenty of food stamps so I asked that he pick me up a cheesecake and he agreed. Yum!

Not much else is new, life is boring right now. It's basically work, eat, sleep and a little tv in between.

Short week

I work Mon., Tues. and Wed. this week then Thursday we are off for our last camping trip of the year. Next weekend is Leather pride weekend and things are filling up there, so it should be a good crowd. I'm thinking about wearing my leather hood and having Scooby tie me to a tree out in the woods on my knees with my hands behind me. This way if guys want a bj I'm there at there service.

I started practicing my sign language again. I studied it in the beginning of the year then stopped and lost it all. Mardi Gras weekend I met a hot deaf guy and I couldn't remember anything. It didn't help that I was drunk also. I've got my alphabet back down again. I can also sign "I'm a bad boy". That should be helpful...

Goodbye Chuck D.

Monday Scooby was checking his email and a local gay group sent an email letting everyone know that one of there members had died. I've known Chuck D. since I started going to the "Berg" about 20 yrs. ago. We'd sit and shoot the shit over drinks. He'd come to most of our parties. I always enjoyed seeing him. It was just discovered that he was murdered in his home in Saginaw.

The thought of this makes me so sad, I've been on the verge of tears since I found out. Goodbye Chuck we'll miss you guy.

Weekend update

The Mardi Gras themed weekend at Campit campground was a BLAST! They had a drag contest to name Ms. Queen Campit and Princess Campit. There was only two contestants but the girls kicked ass. The one that one Princess made me laugh so hard I almost pee'd. She had this house prop that was about the size on an outhouse on wheels. Then little blurbs from The Wizard of OZ started up and the house started spinning. On the other side of the house was a window and inside was the dragqueen dressed like Dorthy spinning and screaming. It was too much.

They had a block party with huge video screens and most trailers in the east village block had booths giving away free cocktails and food. Needless to say we got lit. I managed to take a few pics before that on the disposable cameras we had left at our 4th of July party. Hopefully we'll get them printed up soon.

Then they had a moonlight swim in which all the guys jumped into the pool nekkid. We were all nut to butt other than when I had my legs wrapped around one furry guys waist or another. We will definately be hitting that weekend again. A little sucky sucky action happened in the woods. But not like last time. In two weeks we head back for the last time this year for Leather weekend. I should have all kinds of sordid tales to tell about that one.

whats new

Friday night I pulled a muscle in my back at work so this weekend I was in pain. It was bad enough that I had problems getting up and down. Thankfully Sunday I started to feel better and was getting around fairly well by that evening.

So...... Scooby and I broke the sling back in. I forgot how much I love it. He fucked me silly guilding me back and forth on his cock. It was just the work out I needed.

Thursday we are headed back to the campground. This weekend's theme is Mardi Gras, it should be fun. I'll try and take pictures this time.

Nothing new

Nothing new going on. I've worked overtime the last couple of Satudays cleaning carpets in my building. Finally its all done. I'm still waiting to find out if my boss and HR have ok'd my classes for fall. I might have waited to long and might not have time to register, since classes start Sept. 5, I think.

We are hoping to go camping a couple more times in August. Other than that just working on the house. We did manage to get our sling hung up on the side porch/new playroom. Hope to use it soon. Its been years since we had a place to put it.

I need a new drug

I got my meds refilled today and this warning was attached to them:

Alprazolam 0.5mg (generic Xanax) tablets with Viracept 250mg tablets (HIV meds)
Onset: Delayed severity: major documentation
Suspected potentially serious CNS depression is possible when Alprazolam and Viracept are co-administered, especially during initial exposure or after resuming therapy following an interuption in therapy.

Yikes....I've been taking them both for years. The Alprazolam, just to sleep now and then, but still. I need to find a new drug to help me get to sleep. After our party a few weeks ago I got so depressed that I went off my meds for almost two weeks and by the time we got back from camping last Sunday I was at an all time low. I didn't mention this before cuz I wanted to save you all the gloom and doom. I might have found the reason for some/most??? of the depression problems I've had for several years, and it was/could be drug related. God damn......

I guess time will tell. Monday I went back on my HIV meds mixed with marinol and I've been feeling great all week.

Today marks six months since my fathers death. I was kind of having a hard time for the last 2 weeks, but today I took some Marinol. It gave me the energy and the enthusiasum to start the project work of cleaning the carpets in my building and it made me feel good that I'm able to accomplish something around here. I'm tired and sweaty, but I feel good.

I'll update soon on the weekend camping trip. It was a blast to say the least.

Lady Bird Johnson dies

Championed the environment
As first lady, she was perhaps best known as the determined environmentalist who wanted roadside billboards and junkyards replaced with trees and wildflowers. She raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to beautify Washington. The $320 million Highway Beautification Bill, passed in 1965, was known as "The Lady Bird Bill," and she made speeches and lobbied Congress to win its passage. (MSNBC)

I saw a documentary once about this subject. Before this bill, advertisers would rent farmers barns to use as billboards and the advertisers would maintain the facade of the barns. Including painting and replacing the roofs when needed. Because of the bill new advertisers could no longer use barns for advertisement. Now barns across our country are falling into ruin.

Thanks Lady Bird, I'm sure you meant well, but because of this you've destroyed part of our history.



In other news, we leave tomorrow morning for our camping trip. Hope to have some nasty stories to tell since the theme this weekend is "Bears in the woods/leather weekend".

4th of July history

I came to the conclusion the reason I was kind of down after our party last week was because my parents wedding anniversary is/was on the 4th of July. In the early 1940's my father was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood near Rolla Missouri. My parents met while he was home on leave. His sister and my mom worked together at a little corner grocery in a little village near by. My moms parents drove my mom to Missouri and they were married in Rolla.

In the 70's when I was a kid we would spend 4th of July at my parents cabin north of Au Grey. We would go to this park in Tawas to watch the fireworks over the Saginaw bay. The park had all these cement figures to play on. There was Disney's Pluto the dog that you'd climb up his ass and slide out his mouth. The shoe from "The old woman who lived in a shoe", which you'd climb the narrow steps and slide down the tongue of the shoe. The hippo which had several holes through out to climb in and out. A castle, which might have had a slide also, and a couple of fish, one which always smelled of piss. I loved playing on that stuff. Its been along time since I've been up there and they probably are gone now due to sue happy people and stricter enforcement of play ground equipment.

I had a silver poodle when I was a kid since I was allergic to everything and they don't shed. We would take her also and the fireworks would scare the shit out of her and she would sit there and shake nervously and I would wrap her in a blanket. Anyway that is my memories of 4th of July when I was a kid. God I miss my parents.

Party update

Our party was one of the most successful ones yet. We had around 85 people, an abundance of delicious food and with donations we ended up a little ahead this year. So we are thinking of buying some new tarps for our Halloween party and maybe another food steamer, if I can find on on Ebay.

I don't know what is up with me but I'm feeling quite down today. I think it might be because I was in such high spirits being the social host that I'm all tapped out of "happy" right now. Who knows. Thank god I only have to work two days this week, cuz I'm really fucking tired.

Weekend update

The River Roar boat races was this weekend. They had concerts to go along with the festivities, Friday night the park behind our house had Poison in concert. Then Saturday night was Ted Nugent. Next week is Starship for our fireworks festival. We didn't go to the river roar or the concerts since we could hear them very clearly from the back yard. Sunday we went to St. Stans festival and hung around the beer tent listening to the polka bands and watching the people dance and of course drinking beer.

Next week is our fireworks party(s). I've got Monday and Tuesday off next week which will make a nice short week of work. Then the following week I have Thursday and Friday off for our camping trip to Saugatuck. Its leather/bear weekend at the campground, should be fun.

Devils dick as requested

Here's a pic of the Devils dick.

Today I feel.....

Like I need to go back to school.

I grew up in the time where Pink Floyd was telling everyone that we didn't need an education. Well thats all fine and dandy as long as you what to earn minimum wage working fast food ect.. The list goes on for shit jobs for the uneducated.

I know I've pissed and moaned that I want to move to New Orleans but the fact is I have no education and with out one I'd be fucked. Yes I have a decent union job now with nice benefits. But the era of unions for general laborers is coming to an end. Just recently a local school district decided to not renew the contract of their custodians and out source instead. We just got a new president where I work and he's started cutting back and letting people go and I honestly feel that when our contract is up in 5 years that they will no doubt out source us also. It's sad to see devoted employees that have worked for a company for decades just get thrown out like yesterdays garabage. But at least they have an education.

So I think its time that I get my ass in gear so I can have something to fall back on if and when this job ends. I think I've decided on Hotel Restaraunt management. Its something that is in abundance down in NOLA and everywhere for that matter. Actually I always thought it would be cool to own a bed and breakfast or a diner, so the opportunities are endless.

A note to fathers

When your taking care of your own children its not called babysitting.

Its called parenting.


Seriously some guy told me he was babysitting his kids today.

What were we thinking.....

Our city always has a big celebration for the 4th of July. Always having three days of fireworks, the first two last 10 min. and the last night being 40 min. of fireworks. Well this year they are scheduled to be on July 1-3. We live so close, you can see them from the back yard, so we normally have a party.

Well this year we couldn't decide which day to have the party. It's normally on the last night because of the big fireworks display. We figured that since the last night this year is on the 3rd that most people would have to work that day so we decided to have our party on Sunday the first night of the fireworks. Then after some thinking we figured that since most people would have the 4th off that maybe we should have it on the last night.

We couldn't decide, so we are having two parties, the first night and the last night. Now its starting to sink in that I'm going to have to make enough food for two nights. Not to mention that we have a cocktail machine that holds three different drinks at 5 gal. per cocktail choice. So for two parties we are going to end up making 30 gal. of cocktails. OMG!!!

I normally have a preparty panic attack. I have a feeling its gonna be a doozie this year....
Wish me luck

If your reading this and your in the area and want to come, let me know and I'll send you a link with the details.

RUN RUN RUN

Thats what this weekend consisted of. Saturday morning Scooby and I got up and did our Saturday morning ritual of going to the flea market. Met up with our friend Thurston there and after the three of us had breakfast at the little old diner there.

We got home and at 11am my sister calls.

Her: Are you in the area
Me: Yeah we just got home (thinking she was near my house and gonna stop in)
Her: We're buring dads ashes today and we're at the cemetery
Me: What? I thought we were doing it on fathers day weekend
Her: Just get here, we'll wait for you, bring Scooby if you want.

SHIT....I can't believe I mixed this up. So we head to the cemetery in Midland Co. which is at the least a half hour drive. We get there and bury my dad's ashes. Then we head out for the planned brunch at his favorite restraunt.... of course Scooby and I just ate so we have drinks and I have a piece of pie as everyone else eats.

Then they plan on going up to Wixom lake to my sisters trailer. Since I don't see my brothers adult daughters that much since they live in FL we decide to go also. But we have to run home first since Scooby forgot his tobbaco and had long pant on and I needed sunblock. So we run back home, get our shit together as Scooby quickly calls his mom and wishes her a happy birthday. Then we're off back to Midland and up to the lake. Despite all the rushing around it was a nice day.

Then Sunday we went out with Thurston on his boat out on the Saginaw bay. We got his boat cleaned up and I paddled around in the water a bit. It was about 7pm by the time we got home and then we headed out to the Berg for a few drinks around 9pm. We headed home around 1am.

I've been planning on cutting back on my drinking and I did pretty good this weekend. I had 3 tall boys on Saturday at the lake. Then finished the other 3 on the boat on Sunday. Then I only had 2 regular size beers at the bar that night.

Public wanking, and a weekend update

OMG! I was heading to my other building to clean today and saw this older guy in a late model truck sitting at the exit to the bank next door. He had several chances to merge into traffic but didn't. Then I noticed that his right shoulder kept shaking like he was jacking off. I think he noticed me checking him out and so he pulled out onto the road but only went down to the next parking area.....to probably finished up.

It was very warm today. I love what it does to guys.....

In other news: We had a few good friends over Sunday for a bbq. It was suppose to rain but it got it all out of its system that morning and the day turned out gorgeous. Monday we started pouring the piers for the deck we are building. Then today we ran out and got most of the wood for it. Hoping to have a good portion of it done this weekend.

I can't remember

Last night only got worse. People worked late in my building and there was a constant flow in and out of the lunch room. So I decided against eating my lettuce w/ tomato's that was in the fridge. Plus since thats all I eat Mon.-Thurs. week after week, month after month its getting a bit tiring. I had some spare change and decided to hit the drive thru at Taco Bell and grab a soft taco for dinner instead, can't beat it for 89 cents. I got there and went to order but for the life of me couldn't remember the word "taco". It went something like this.

Speaker: Hi may I take your order
Me: Yes I'll have one soft burrito please
Speaker: What kind sir?
Me: You know the soft kind, opposite of the hard shell kind
Speaker: Sir they're all soft and we have a big variety
Me: Just give me the cheapest one then. (I only had a dollar in change)
Speaker: The bean burrito then
Me: No I'd like meat in it.
Speaker: One burrito supreme, that will be 3.50.
Me: Oh forget it!

Then I backed out of the drive thru and went back to my building, about half way back I remembered the word "Taco". FUCK! Needless to say I was too pissed off/flustered and embaressed to go back so I skipped dinner last night.

Tired and down

I got out of work at midnight last night and had to turn around this morning and head back to attend my uncles funeral at 10am. He was by dads oldest brother, their wasn't much of a turn out which kind of depressed me. After the funeral/burial/luncheon I decided to stay in town until I went to work since gas is so fuckin expensive. My sisters and I went to the cemeteries to change out the floral arrangement on my parents grave so there would be a new one there when we bury my dads ashes on fathers day weekend. I also took the arrangement off my grandparents grave (mothers side) since my aunt placed two gargantuan potted plants on the grave which totally conceiled mine. I moved it to my dads grandparents grave in another cemetery since they had nothing.

While we were cemetery hopping I pointed out to my sisters all the generations of forgotten grandparents of ours. So that makes one funeral and three cemetery visits today and top it off being sleep deprived. Its probably just my mood today but have been considering ending this blog since I normally have nothing important or interesting to say here. Hope everyone has a great Memorial weekend and remember to remember the dead cuz thats what this holiday is all about.

I got to be in town all day tomorrow also cuz I have a house cleaning job before work. UGH! We are planning a bbq Sunday, I hope I can catch up on my sleep before then.

Later, Happy Memorial weekend

How to beat the high cost of living

I was just reading an online news story about the high price of gas. They stated that it has hit a high this week at 3.08 a gallon. 3.08 a gallon? I want to know where the fuck they can find gas at that price cuz its 3.49 here in mid Michigan. I just fucking filled my tank and it set me back 50 bucks. FUCK!!!! I'm at a point right now that I will only get gas at a BP station (British Petroleum) cuz I refuse to let my own country fuck me in the ass.

If they're gonna screw us and raise gas prices to the point we can't even afford to drive to work then they fucking better legalize prositution, cuz that is the only way I'm gonna make enough to buy gas.

Blow jobs in exchange for a 1/2 a tank of gas. anyone?

I'm already working a full time job that only covers mortgage, insurances, and utilities, thats it no fucking extras. Then I clean bi-weekly 3 fucking houses so I can afford gas plus luxury items like toilet paper and toothpaste. At least thats the way it normally is, right now I have to admit that I do have a little stashed away thanks to my inheritance, but what the fuck am I gonna do once that runs out, which it will soon enough. I can't afford to live in the town that I work, and there are no jobs in the town that I live. Pardon the prepanic rant.

Edward Hopper

Here are a couple of prints of my favorite artist Edward Hopper the first is "Chop Suey Restaurant". I love the colors in this one.





This next one is "New York Movie 1930", it makes me laugh about the woman who is deep in thought because these days she just looks like she's on her cell phone.

Nothing new

Nothing new to report. I haven't felt all that great this week. Called in sick yesterday and slept most of the day/night and I'm still tired. Ugh Today I bought 10 bags of mulch and a couple of tomato plants. Monday I'll probably buy my flowers.

We got a good portion of the floor built on the side porch last weekend. Hope to finish up this weekend. Our camera's fixed so I plan on taking/posting some pics.

Later

Another work rant

I totally fucking give up. The art gallery I clean has had water problems in the basement since...forever. When it rains water runs down the back wall, luckily there is a sump pump that the water runs into, but its still not good for the foundation of the building. Hello.....

The problem is the underground drain. First its not big enough for a commercial building. Second the end of it that use to shoot the water out onto the side walk is now 3/4 covered with cement from the new sidewalk that was put in last year. So now the water sits in the drain with no place to go. I pointed this out to my boss who in turn told his boss.

Now I'm being told that they are going to clean out the drain. I mentioned that the new sidewalk is blocking it. Boss's boss response was "I think what we are going to do will be fine." Obviously my words just went in one ear and out the other. Plus I don't think he likes it when the uneducated help gives advice.

This isn't the first time I've had run in with this guy.....

The steps going to the gallery basement were very narrow and had a rubber/plastic surface. Well with wet shoes on, they were treacherous. I fell down the stairs and so did the gallery director. I told idiot boss man that the steps were not up to code. He then told me that he went there and measured the steps and they were fine. It took seven people falling down the steps to get them rebuilt correctly. When they were being rebuilt I asked the gallery director sarcastically why they were being rebuilt and she told me because they weren't up to code....

Not once did idiot boss tell me that I was right. But what do I know, I'm just an uneducated janitor.

Busy weekend

I got to my dads at noon on Friday and my bro and sis had just decided to end the garage sale early, which was fine by me. So we took what we wanted and divided the rest into donate and trash and two carloads to Salvation army and one to the dump and we were done.

Saturday we headed to the flea market and met up with our friend Thurston. I ended up buying one of those double baskets that fit on the back of a bike for 15 bucks, what a deal compared to the ones that sell on EBay. Scooby ended up buying a commercial Bunn coffee maker for 15 bucks also. We then headed to Saginaw to Hobby Lobby and Michaels crafts. I needed more stuff for the flower arrangements that I'm making up for my parents and grandparents graves. I also wanted to find a picture frame for my Edward Hopper print "Chop Suey Restraunt" and "New York Movie 1930". Didn't find one for Chop Suey, but I did get NY Movie framed. Saturday night we went to the neighbors and bowled on their new Wii game and drank strawberry margaritas. yum yum

Sunday was beautiful so I worked out in the yard most of the day. I condensed one of my flower beds and moved my Hosta's to make way for a new deck that we are planning. Then we started cleaning out the side porch to get ready to build the floor. Its just been a dirt floor storage area but that will change soon enough. It will eventually be the hot tub/ play room, and it will also house the freezer that we got from the neighbors.

Then before work today we went to Menards and got the fire pit they have on sale. Then we headed for Home Depot to buy the supplies for the side porch floor. Thank god they rent trucks cuz there was no way that we would have been able to get that stuff home in my Aztek all in one trip. I also bought a climbing rose bush to help shade the front porch. I really didn't want pink blooms but that was all they had so I guess it will have to do. Red would have been my first choice.

Hope everyone had a great and productive weekend like myself.

One tired puppy

Well things went pretty smoothly cleaning the rest of my dads stuff out. He really didn't have as much crap in the garage that I thought he did. We got done early enough Saturday that we actually started the sale that day. I managed to his lazyboy hauled home Friday and then his craftmatic bed Saturday night. The base of the bed is heavier then a muther fucker and of course it was going upstairs. Once we got it up there and set up Kiddo and Clyde couldn't stop smelling the side of the bed that my dad basically bled out on. Which was kind of disturbing.

Sunday I got up early and started stacking firewood from the five trees that we had cut down in the back yard. By the time I was almost done Scooby had gotten up so then we made a makeshift storage area above the side porch in order to store the siding we haven't gotten installed yet. The side porch doesn't have a floor yet so we need to clear it out in order to start building the floor, which is our next project.

Then last night I didn't sleep worth a shit. Got up early again today and did 3 loads of laundry before I went to work. Tuesday and Wednesday this week I got house cleaning jobs before work then Thursday and Friday I'm helping with the sale of my dads stuff.

Thank god I took Friday off.....

The next couple of weeks are going to be frantic. This Friday and Saturday my sisters and I are going through my dad's garage and getting ready for a garage sale the following weekend. My dad's house has been sold and final signing is next week. The guy wants to move in immediately but said we could still use the garage for the sale. oiy...... My brother was suppose to help tag everything but now he is only going to be there to help run the sale. I have no idea why he can't be there when he was suppose to, he is retired.....

A friend of ours is going to jail for 90 days and has invited us to an "I'm going to jail party" this Saturday. What do you bring to that? a carton of cigarettes?

Also we've decided to look for vacant property down in NOLA then eventually build on it. This way we can hopefully get property in a decent area and sit on it until we finish the house here. Also with Scooby building it we know it will hold up to a hurricane.

Wednesday afternoon it started snowing and snowing and snowing. Against better judgement I went to work, but ended up leaving 2 hours early cuz I wanted to get home before it started to freeze. The drive home was treacherous and the worst conditons all winter. HELLO ITS FUCKING APRIL FOR GOD SAKE!!!!! I decided that if there is a God he hates us. By the time I got to Bay City the snow had turned to rain and by the time I woke up the next morning 99% of the snow was gone. YES!

Today it was in the 40's-50's. Which I embraced whole heartedly, my cabin fever subsiding. Being stuck in the house 4 months out of the year can get a little depressing. Anyway in other news I've started teaching myself sign language and am really enjoying it. I hope the next time we go down to NOLA I'll see the cute deaf guy again, this time we can communicate a little better.

Happy Friday the 13th!

I'm so fuckin tired today. Last Thursday I went to Saginaw to clean a house and when I got there I realized that I had forgot my key to get in. So I cleaned it this morning instead, before I headed to Midland to clean my sisters house. After the first house I needed to get lunch and I still have my gift certificates that I gave my dad for Christmas for his favorite restraunt sooo I decided that it was time to use one of them. It was weird/sad eating there alone, I felt like one of those people in an Edward Hopper painting. I managed to keep it together and actually kind of felt my fathers presence sitting across the table from me, which was nice. Once I got out to the car I had a brief little cry and then headed to the dollar store.

After that I cleaned my sisters place and once I got done I had almost 2 hours before I had to be to work. So I headed to the cemetery and cleaned up around my parents, grandparents, great grandparents and great great grandmothers graves. My mother used to take me to the cemetery alot when I was a kid since we lived right down the road. We'd pump water from the well and water the plants on my grandparents grave and she would point out my great grandparents grave. For some reason I find the cemetery relaxing, so I think I'm going to start focusing more attention and take care of my families plots.

So that was today in a nutshell. I'm thinking of posting more pics here once we get our camera fixed.

For the last several days I've woken up with a really sore back. I go to bed feeling fine, but when I wake up.... agony. The bed itself is a semi new expensive bed that sugar daddy gave us a year or so ago.

Today I got up fed the cats and went and layed down on the couch with the heating pad. Ended up falling back to sleep and when I woke up all three cats where snuggled up around me. What a comforting feeling...I was on my side and Clyde was nestled in behind my legs, Puddy was against my chest and Kiddo was laying on my torso. Their not big snugglers so this was a treat.

Sunday we went to my sisters for Easter dinner. Then I played a card game with my sister, niece-inlaw and great niece. I won and then we called it a day and headed home. We stopped at my Dad's place and picked up the carpet that was out in the garage that had been replaced from his house. I plan on using it in the spare bedroom upstairs which is almost finished and the other piece probably on the back porch. Hopefully it will survive until we can get in layed down, since one of the cats has decided that it's really fun to shred the ends of it.

Happy Easter!

More random stuff

Went over to a friends house last night to have a few drinks and ended up watching Female Trouble. I'm a sponge when it comes to useless information and our host told me that the little girl who played Taffy aka Hilary Taylor now is a real estate agent in Boston. That made me wonder if she is Will's agent from DesignerBlog since he recently put his house up for sale.

Scooby drank to much and started biting and pinching me quite hard, which I didn't find one bit amusing. I kept telling him to stop, but it fell on deaf/drunk ears. Finally I pinched his ear till it got really red, then he stopped. Drama drama. It's funny how we can annoy each other when the other has been drinking. Don't know how this will unfold IF we move to NOLA.

The biting started to remind me of Jackies psycho girlfriend on "Workout". I watched most of the first season but once they started promo'ing the second season they insinuated that Jackie was back with the psycho and I couldn't watch. I got plenty of train wrecks right at home to watch thank you. That's like that fucking stupid ass reality show "Airport". Who the fuck watches that, its like all the stress of traveling but without going anywhere.

As for NOLA. I've been calculating and if I cash in the stocks that I'll get from inheritance and if my dads house sells and if I also refinance my house I just might be able to swing it. I've been advised to save my stocks for retirement, but I have a problem seeing that far in the future. I'm already 11 yrs. into HIV and I've got 25 yrs till retirement, it just doesn't seem fathomable that I'll survive that long. Hell if I could get the retirement that I have saved through work I could buy the place in NOLA now for cash. But I can't touch that $ till I'm like 65. Are there still companies that buy life insurance policies?
