I DREAMED A DREAM

Last night I had an extremely emotional dream that I was embracing and reuniting with many of my grade school friends... in a department center.

What could this mean? One of the people I was so excited to see was Todd Witherby, a guy that I just recently became friends with on Facebook. His mom was like a second mother to me for eight years, volunteering so often to be a classroom mom!
Others that I was ecstatic to see in my dream was Jenny Finkie, Erica Gabriel, Todd's mother, and Todd's brother David.

Dreams are so insightful yet so complex at the same time...

A WINTER WONDERLAND MOOD

MY MOM DID GOOD FOR EYE-DAS

A few days ago my aunt came into my job and told me about this fantastic charity she's now working with - more on the specific charity later. She's been retired for a few years and decided to lend her time... amazing!

When she was telling about her new work I couldn't help but remember the charity my mom did a lot of work with when she was here. When I got home I logged onto the computer and Googled them to find out more about then what I already knew. My aunt brought up EYE-DAS about a year ago when she ran into someone who clearly remembered and benefited from my mom's charity work with EYE-DAS. My mom used to make the necessary phone calls (as I recall it) to make sure EYE-DAS members had car rides to and from the meetings in their respective areas. No my mom wasn't blind but had good friends who were seeing-impaired so she decided to give some of her extra time to this well-deserving charity - SO BEAUTIFUL.

The synopsis of EYE-DAS is that they're "an organization dedicated to helping the visually impaired. Membership is open to any adult with impaired, partial, or no vision. Sighted individuals are welcome and can play an important role in providing resources and services to those who are not so fortunate. EYE-DAS has been serving the visually impaired community since 1975. We provide members with resources, ongoing education, current information, problem sharing and social activities in order to enable independence and to improve quality of life."

GUESS WHO'S BACK???

I'M UPDATING MY BLOG TOMORROW... STAY TUNED!!!

WELL SAID.....

ROCKWELL

Last night I attended Joe Siyam's birthday party at the new bar Rockwell in Los Feliz. I'm not sure how many people he had in attendance but I am sure that the upstairs bar was divided down the middle of half gay and half straight patronage for a Saturday evening. The bar in itself is for the most part a comfortable, zero attitude straight bar - far from the drama or attitude that you are accustomed to seeing on Hollywood Boulevard - don't we hate those clubs anyways?

Rockwell was instead filled with fun, friendly people searching for a posh environment which serves up inexpensive, tasty drinks from tasty bartenders!

Would I go back? YES.

Would I recommend it? YES.

When do I see myself going back? Not anytime soon - just being honest. It was a place that was so cute, reminding me of Magnolia in Pasadena, but a tad bigger (LOL).

KUDOS

THANKS to the Internet blogger for posting this pictures so that I could use it too! I decided to incorporate this photo in my posting about how the Dodgers swept the series between my HOMETOWN team and the St. Louis Cardinals (3-0). Not only does this photo provide a taste of nostalgia to all the hardcore Los Angelenos who are hungry for a victor in 2009, but this authentic newspaper clipping also provides a bit of foreshadowing of what I think will be a victorious season for the Dodgers.

If you missed the game yesterday then you missed a game that was virtually flawless, void of any major mistakes and giving Eithier just one more notch on his belt to being MVP for the Dodgers. Do you agree? The next game will be played on Thursday, and although I cannot attend because of work commitments I will be there in spirit! As to whom they will play is still undecided, what we do know is that its between the Rockies or the Phillies.

Congratulations to the entire team for taking the St. Louis Cardinals on their home turf, sending loyal fans dressed head to toe in red hats, jerseys and rally towels home with nothing to gloat, brag or hold their head high about!

GO DODGER BLUE!!!!

LAS VEGAS UNDERGROUND

The following story makes me want to watch CNN all day long - cause it's not necessarily all about the repetitive news they air but these special tidbits.

YOU GO SISTER UNITY!!!

ZOMBIELAND

Why the hell would I enjoy seeing a movie called 'Zombieland,' right? After I got back from the fun pool party with T.J. and Chris over at Chad & Eric's house, my buddy John Magnum asked me out on a friendship date to see the movie 'Zombieland.' Now if anyone else would have asked me to see this movie I would have defiantly said NO, however he's only in town for a few days and he's one of those cute str8 boys that you wanna hangout with because he's so charming - so I went to see 'Zombieland,' and ENJOYED IT!!! First off I had no idea it starred Woody Harrelson, Abigail Breslin and had a hilarious cameo from Bill Murray - yes, this movie is a B-, just for the simple fact that it's fun, doesn't take it self too seriously but the actors are not cheesy and too annoying. I didn't get John's take on the movie but I liked it.

SONG OF THE DAY

PICK IT UP?

I tried one of these funny contraptions last week and I found it very easy to use, does anyone else have one? I am very tempted to go purchase my own, bring it home and let it sit, never be used again... HAHAHA!!!

AUSTIN WILDE IS MAN OF THE YEAR... NOT JUST IN MY BOOK!

CONGRATS MY FRIEND.... YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT SWEET BOY!

ALL ABOUT TBALL

Very few photographers can make this face look good - one of those amazing talents is TBall aka Tom aka Tom Trevor! This weekend it seems as if he took a million pictures - maybe even possibly a hundred of me. Overall TBall's blog is great so make sure you check him out here! Below are some pictures from TBall, enjoy!!!

FOLSOM: DAY 1

As most of you know I've spent the weekend in San Francisco all apart of the annual tradition which us gays call Folsom Street Fair. In a nut shell it's a festival for EVERYONE that would like to explore their deviant side - and yes it's good to let it outta the bag sometimes and be a little freaky!!

Ashley and I arrived on Friday night and immediately high-tailed it to the party hosted by Sister Roma and DJ LaRue. When I get to SF I always need to see Roma so I made it a priority to stop by and pay my respects. LaRue and I aren't on that great of terms - I'm lucky if she smiles at me so I try to keep my distance yet still remain polite enough. It frustrates me that we used to be so civil and friendly to one another and now all I get is coldness from her. While I'm not blaming Jason Sechrest, after-all we all make our own decisions in life, but since she re-became friends things have not been the same. Jason and I are slowly starting to become civil with each other and I think coffee or lunch is in order to hash some issues out but with LaRue I think the damage is done and she wouldn't even want to break bread with me - not a big deal, but it sucks that we have become so estranged all due to dumb circumstances or whatever it may be.

Anyway, her party featured all the porn stars that are in the scene now but unfortunately I didn't have much fun because I was sober all all hell and the space just wasn't that great. Usually when I think of a Chi Chi party it has an amazing space, like the End Up - not so much with the Triple Crown Bar on Market Street. DJ Chi Chi always spins great music. It's funny, either you love her style or you hate her style - she isn't a trained professional deejay and she owns up to it, however she does spin some great shit and that's why people love her deejay talents!

It was a fun night overall and I hope they move that party back to End Up next year - much better space!

NOT ATTRACTIVE

Depeche Mode - Hole To Feed
I don't know what to think about this video to be honest. I almost lost my Subway sandwich when I saw the people tonguing throughout the entire video - especially with the mustard *belch*! I have this thing about kissing with the tongue - especially if the person doesn't know what they're doing! So yah, watch this movie with caution and if it takes a few times before you finish it I completely understand!
