MANIC SUNDAY

I woke up this morning at 5:45 a.m., bright and early ready to go home!!! This weekend was filled with so much highs and lows I couldn't wait to just get home and begin 'normal life.' Right now I am waiting for the gas guy to come and turn it back on - waiting is the hardest thing sometimes, I think we can all relate to that quote in some way or another.

Actually, come to think about it - waiting is the hardest thing - can sum up my life lately, and I mean about this weekend, a relationship, my career, and my future. Hmm, that's one thing to think about and grow on. I'm going to move on and get back to 'waiting' later on!

Yesterday I took off of work because I needed it. There was a lot of family bullshit going on this weekend and Sunday off really helped ground me and take a few breathers without having to stress about going to work. Walking the dog, blogging a bit and hanging out with Moses was pretty much the extent of my Sunday - it was so nice I was so thankful that Angela covered my shift. If you're reading this Angela... THANKS, MY SUNDAY WAS BEAUTIFUL THANKS TO YOU!!!

Moses and his boyfriend rescued me and took me to Jay's birthday party in Silverlake. We arrived around 5 and there were a handful of people there playing air hockey, eating, drinking, meeting old friends and strangers. Jay seems to have a lot of friends from various backgrounds which is very cool. I am the same way but his friends were so eclectic I found it interesting. Derrick, Moses, Robert and I got into a little circle and talked about a range of topics and I have to say that every time I hang out with Moses boyfriend I like him more and more, I mean c'mon how can you not like a guy who loves Candyland????

There's this guy that I've been talking to for a few months now casually and he was there too. He is a friend of a friend and seems like a good guy to hang with and maybe go on a few dates too. Relationship material? I don't know, he seems pretty grounded and mild mannered but I guess I should go on a date with him before, huh?
Derrick texted me that he wanted to know all the details on our fun since the guy and I are both TOPS. LOL, needless-to-say Derrick was disappointed that I just came home and was a good boy. Sorry Derrick!!!

We left the party and went by The Eagle to meet up with TJ and Chris... that was fun - enough *wink*!

I so deserved this day, actually I deserved this fun weekend with all the added stress was incorporated!!!

HELL NO!!!

GUT INSTINCT SAYS....

I need to talk about the pool party that I went to yesterday for a minute or two. For a brief second let's forget the stressful weekend that has unfolded and am so thankful to my friends for being there to listen to all my crying and complaining... THANK YOU!

Yesterday Moses and I went to this pool party in Whittier where the majority of the pool parties are held for the gay scene nowadays. This was to benefit this Whittier Project for Gay Men. Basically the group is a forum to talk about issues within the gay community. The admission was $25 but I didn't mind, the booze was free, there were some cute boys, the company was great and the money went for a good cause! I've been to this house numerous times, however the last time I was there was about a year ago with Mister Sagat, I took him to a pool party while he was in town... I think we had fun! LOL

Yesterday the party was a lot of fun and as usual I was one of the only white people in attendance. I believe there were four white guys and that's it. I generally prefer to be the only one but eh, I guess that's unrealistic!

I met a lot of good people at this BBQ and had a wild ride! I even bumped into this one guy I used to have a crush on back in the day - until my friend Gary boned him and there went that! I remember the dude telling me "I'd hang out with you but your friend and I hooked up and it might be uncomfortable." That was three or four years ago and I am sure there is a time limit on feeling "uncomfortable." I believe this guy has a boyfriend now and they are doing the 'independent thing' as close sources to me have mentioned. If anyone remembers my psychic reading a few months ago I am not ruling anything out, nor am I putting all my chickens in one basket (or is it eggs?)

Hmmm, now was it eggs or chickens? Well there's something I can think about for the rest of the day.

I BLOG, SO I'M COOL!!!

I really shouldn't complain. Working at Beckham Grill I make pretty good money. Almost daily I walk with enough money to pay one or two bills for the month, anything over $70 dollars for three hours worth of work is okay. Now porn stars and hookers might snicker but eh, that's okay! If you speak to Brandon (partywithbrandon.com) he has broken it down to how much he makes by the minute when he escorts - you go boy!!!

Today was one of those days when nothing and no one came into the restaurant, I literally had three tables and walked out with a little more than $23 dollars... yah I wasn't too pleased.

After work I walked by the Apple store and saw six or seven losers waiting outside the store in the humid weather for the new iPhone... what a bunch of freaks!

I went to the gym after and saw the Italian/Latin guy who has a bunch of tattoos on his arms and back - he's very hot! Slender and inhabiting a little bad boy attitude, he is so friggin' hot but I am pretty sure he plays for the opposite team. Actually there are a bunch of guys I wouldn't mind playing with at the gym. I need to be more obvious at the gym so these str8 boys (who think they're str8) can pick me up!!! I need/want some locker room sex... YUM!!!

I am waiting for my Angel to get here (it's 1:25 and he finishes go go dancing at Fubar at 1.) He told me that he'd spend the night tonight and I am hoping that tomorrow he'll help me finish bagging the last few things before the termite people get here... that would be nice! Okay, maybe i should close my eyes for a few minutes!

Good night guys!!

I BLOG, SO I'M COOL!!!

I am not sure how many people reading your blog a day actually make you 'cool' or an 'in-demand' blog but my most recent post garnered 120 hits. Whether 120 people actually took the time to read my blog posting - even though they didn't bother to comment - doesn't really matter.

In the last 24 hours life has been crazy and I can't wait until next week when the termite tenting is over and work slows down just a tad.

I didn't mention this last night but I am reconsidering and actually going to buy the new iPhone that hits stores on Friday at 8 a.m.. At first I was not going to give in and get a phone that is mildly different than the current one I have but two factors swayed my decision. First off a cook at my job wanted to buy it for $50 (shit, do ya think I could have gotten more for it?) plus the job has noticeably slowed down, isn't as responsive to my touch as it used to be. Oh, there was this rumor when I first got the phone that after 350 plus charges you would have to send the phone in for a replacement battery, and while that hasn't happened yet I don't want to have that happen to me - and besides I am glad that someone has offered me money for the phone, most just throw their cells in drawers and reap no money for them. True, the phone initially cost me $540 and five months later I received the $100 rebate. When all is said and done I payed $440, which equals out to a little over a dollar a day to use the phone - not bad, right?

Overall I loved my year use of the iPhone. The phone is nothing short of amazing and the new iPhone will hopefully be even more handy! Below are some of things I have read will increase my happiness with the iPhone:

1. Speakers are louder
2. GPS... real GPS
3. Sound is clearer
4. 3G over the archaic Edge OS.
5. The backside is prettier.
6. The phone *8gb* I am buying is only $199 so its not that big of an investment in case the next iPhone comes out in a years time about .50 cents a day - yup, half the price of my initial investment!

MY DAY*LY* HONESTY - PART TWO

Life has been a rollercoaster lately... did I say that last blog?

If I haven't now I am. It seems that lately one day is about as bad as it can get (of course I'm imbellishing a tad) filled with depression, troubles, no money and a lot of stress. The next day I feel like I rule the world, it's literally at my feet and nothing could get in my way - HELL, even pumping gas feels good. That is how I feel today... I should remember this day incase I have a bad day again.


Today I woke up and the dandelions (above) I had planted over a month ago grew a few inches, the veggies: Better Boy Tomatoes and cucumbers (below) that I planted last week grew an inch or so - it's all about progress - and the grass seems to be taking just a little bit!


To top it off this weekend, actually the past two days have been pretty amazing. I didn't spend it shopping, spending an extravagant amount of money or in some luxurious hotel room. Intead I spent it with my good ole' friend Moses, I forget how much fun I have with him everytime we hang out... it always gets better and better. I think we have more fun now then we used to have. Maybe it's because we're older... eh, who knows I just know that him and I love each other and enjoy its others companies!

I feel extremely optimistic even though I have been sadly single the last few years. It seems that lately I have been sad and just mourning for a boyfriend... is that pathetic to admit? Who the fuck cares... you have to remember that I am not living the Erik Rhodes method of blogging: write as if no one is reading. He never actually said that in his blog but he writes as if it's so. Have you read his blog yet? WOW, he puts Brandon Baker to shame on honesty and drug use!!!

FAST FORWARD TWO DAYS ... YES THE PARAGRAPHS ABOVE WAS ON SATURDAY NIGHT, NOW IT'S TUESDAY NIGHT!

Last night was probably the most busiest night I've ever seen at Beckham Grill (my part-time serving job). I was so crazy busy that at one point I socked the aluminum slide that the food sits on before it goes out to the table. Don't get me wrong I made lots of cash but my service was pretty lousy and the customers I had were pretty lousy too, fuckin' assholes! When I got home last night I decided to do an impromptu meeting with this Asian guy that I met online. It was really late but I figured I wasn't tired and he appeared to be cute so why not? He lived in Pasadena and the house was more like a mansion. We had a great conversation and talked for over an hour. Did we play? Yes, we did. I can't remember the last Asian guy I have messed around with but hey he was hot and I've had a dry month and was incredibly miserable because of a 'certain guy' that has been on my mind. Is that a lame excuse? I limped in my door around 3 a.m. and went right to bed. Oh yah, I said limped, lol, the guy - Woody - had a bunch of stairs in his three story house and I fell down a few - it hurt!

I only had a few hours sleep before my work phone started ringing off the hook. The ringing was not people calling, instead it was my boss, Collin O'Neal, emailing me my days itinerary. I rolled over, looked at the phone and knew today would be crazy "OYE VEY!" As much as I tried to close my eyes I knew that wouldn't happen "RING RING," there goes another email. I rolled back over, grabbed my heavy laptop and checked the emails. DAMN, I HAVE TO GO TO CHATSWORTH TO PICK UP SOME POSTERS FOR OUR NEW MOVIE SERBIA!!!

"JJ, let's go for a drive!" The dog and I piled in the Mustang and set out for a two hour drive! Call Angela, call Joseph, call the travel agent and book my Puerto Vallarta trip (there goes $850) call dad, call brother. After all the calling and checking emails I was back in my hometown running around the city mailing SERBIA out, buying lunch, going to two different UPS stores and finally headed home.

-RING, RING - What??? My friend left a message telling me that her Aunt has cancer. I shed a few tears and decided not to call her back and offer my sympathy - that was the last thing I wanted when I found out my mom had cancer. I thought to myself "I'll wait a few days and then call her." I don't like hearing about cancer and especially hearing my friend cry - she is too beautiful to cry... and pregnant!

I came home and worked, took phone calls and worked even harder! SORRY ANGELA I CAN'T WORK FOR YOU, WORK CALLS!

I decided to take an hour to myself and visit Home Depot. Of course my boss(es) called me numerous times during my hour trip to the Depot but I was able to buy a watermelon plant for my garden, a white picket fence, make some keys and some Annual (cheap) flowers. I had to get home, my ex (well we dated briefly) Jose was headed over to hang out and maybe grab some dinner. If Jose was a bottom and more mature I'd be into him. Don't use the N-word please... I hate it!!! I hate the word and I don't want people to use it. I always tell him that... GROW UP and its not cute to use that word!!!

Olive Garden was good, probably my first time there in 10 years. Jose suggested it and I had the Tour of Italy - YUMM!!! Cute white boy waiter was there, I imagined raping him in the bathroom - is that bad? Jose and I exchanged stories of guys who have previously screwed us over... it was nice to vent to Jose. As immature as he is I like the fact that him and I can talk as friends even though we play(ed) and there is not weird feelings between us - JOSE IS HOT BTW!

Now I am laying with my dog after deciding that MJs is not a good idea - Tony is probably there and I can't see him yet... still a bit pissed. Okay, its time for bed, how is this blog Derrick????

CAN WE BE HONEST?
