The AdamMale website got a facelift yesterday, and I designed the banners! It’s pretty cool to see my work on the Homepage of my favorite online adult store. It was all possible thanks to James, who managed the project. I think I got the job because he loves me. But then again, no one can resist my charm.
My favorite banner is the black and white one for the DVD “Curious“. It’s an AdamMale Production (yep, they are making movies now!). It’s so common to see banners in color, so I thought the black and white would give it an artsy, voyeuristic feeling. Who are these 3 guys making out on the couch? How can I see more? I also thought it was cool that over 25% of their profits go to charity, including HIV organizations! I never knew that before.
It’s that time of year again. We always stock up on Girl Scout Cookies because Has it ever occurred to you that it sounds as if they are made from little girls? Peanut butter cookies are made with peanut butter. So are girl scout cookies made out of girl scouts? Nevermind. I do admit, there is something addictive about Thin Mints. I can sit on the couch and eat a whole package. Then I stop and look down at my crumb covered shirt. So full, yet I feel so empty. Yep. I’m not very critical of cookies to begin with. I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like. Hello, cookie. In you go…
Sorry, guys… I just have to. Rodney and I have become fanatics for method’s products. If you don’t know who they are, they are a San Francisco company that makes awesome cleaning products. They are committed to creating products that are safe for the environment, and also safe for everyone in the house… no harsh chemicals. The method omop came out this month, and it’s replacing our Clorox Ready Mop. Every time we clean, we have to worry about keeping 2 cats and a dog away from the floors until they dry. It just makes us paranoid. One of the primary selling points of the omop is that it’s non-toxic, so it’s safe for everyone in the house. I guess we’re not the only ones paranoid about chemicals. The lemon-ginger cleaning solution smells great. It has a microfiber mop pad that can be cleaned and re-used 50 times. So that’s better for the environment than the disposable kinds. It can also be interchanged with a sweeping cloth, which picked up much more dirt than our Swiffer does. Okay, I sound like an infomercial! But I have to say it’s a pretty good product, and cleans really well. Plus, I admire method’s devotion to the environment.
I received a very nice e-mail this morning from a reader in Singapore, regarding The Secret. She had an honest, straight-forward question: Does the law of attraction (The Secret) work? The answer is yes, and it’s actually a science. Isaac Newton is considered the first person to have discovered it in 1675. So that means people have been aware of it for over 300 years! It’s only recently made a breakthrough into mainstream media due to the success of The Secret, which is now celebrating its 2nd week as the #1 Bestseller in America. The bottom line is very simple: We are like magnets. We attract everything into our lives through our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Have you ever noticed all the patterns that repeat in your life? It’s not a coincidence. We subconsciously create and re-create events in our lives. So if you want something, you have to align your thoughts, feelings, and actions to create that. It’s not black magic, it’s not superstition, and it’s not religion. The things that you focus on will become reality, no matter if you believe in them or not. Have you ever noticed the friend who is always single? He says “I’ll never find the right person.” He’s creating his own reality. If he believes that nobody is out there for him, his thoughts, feelings, and actions align to re-enforce that negativity. What about the friend who’s always in debt? All he says is “I can’t afford that. I’m broke.” His constant state of mind is poverty, and that’s what always comes to him. Have you noticed his story never changes? That’s what I mean when I say that anybody, anywhere, regardless of their current circumstance, can have everything they want out of life. They just have to throw out the negative thoughts and fears, and focus on what they do want, not what they don’t want. Magnets attract objects, regardless of whether or not you believe they do. The same is true in life. You attract everything, and it’s up to you to decide if you want to attract good things or bad things. The law of attraction is the science of that theory.
I always hear guys talking about their “type”. One person in particular is a repeat offender, and every man he meets is “an okay person, but not his type”. You know who you are, Mr. Bee. It makes me wonder what my type is. The guys I’ve been in relationships with are extremely diverse. They don’t look or act alike. They all have different interests, they aren’t even the same color. The first was black, then white, then asian, and Rodney is white. The only thing they have in common is that they are all older than I am. So does that mean I have a “daddy” fetish? The term alone makes me shudder. It’s pretty weird to compare an older guy to your father, don’t you think? But… well… one of my favorite porn blogs has a regular feature of “Men Over 30″. It’s my favorite feature. By contrast, the features with young, “barely legal” guys doesn’t really appeal to me. I remember that post-pubescent phase at age 18… It was not fun the first time. I certainly don’t think it’s hot to see other guys in that age group. Yet still… I insist I don’t have a type… certainly not a “daddy”. Do you have a type?
This is a test I’d like to try. I’ve been making a lot of new friends who are familiar with The Secret and the general law of attraction. One of the most common things that stumps them is how to apply it to their own life. They know they want more wealth, a happier career, a better relationship, better health, etc. But they just aren’t sure what to do to get started. So I’d like to try an experiment. Let me know if you’d like to participate. You can leave a comment or e-mail me direct: secrets [at] nathanexposed.com. Update: I left out one very important point — you’ll need to have either seen the documentary or read the book in order to participate. A couple of very sweet people offered to help, even though they had no idea what I was talking about. Now that’s friendship! But yeah, it will only be a useful experiment if you’re familiar with them.
It’s funny how having a blog helps you recognize the changes that go on in your life over a period of years. Just last year, my blog had a feature on the comments that said, for example, “10 Bitches Have Left Comments.” At the time, it made perfect sense, though. A lot of my online friends called each other that word. It was all in humor, and nobody took it literally. Now, it sounds like an awful thing to call people. It doesn’t fit the particular group of people who read my blog, and it no longer fits me either. In addition, my blog’s tagline has always been “The naked truth about my gay life.” I started out telling my story on my blog. I explained all the homophobia and abuse I had experienced from my peers while growing up as a gay boy in a small town. But now I’m a gay man, and I don’t tolerate homophobia. It’s almost irrelevant to call this “the naked truth about my gay life” because I have no new stories to tell on that subject. I have surrounded myself with such a strong support group of friends, and I rarely feel that my sexuality is a topic of importance. I feel like they all protect me, and nobody is going to let me be a victim of homophobia. I am not a victim. This is not my gay life… it’s just MY LIFE. The habits change, the choice of words change. But it’s all part of the pieces that make me. If you have a blog, you should pick a really old entry and re-visit it. Sometimes the contrast is jarring.
What is the significance of 11:33? Every night, I look over at the clock on my nightstand at 11:33 PM. I can be in a peaceful sleep, and then something will wake me up suddenly. I look over, and that’s the time. I can’t help but wonder what it means. So I searched the web for 11:33, and naturally a Bible passage came up: “Who through faith overcame kingdoms, did righteousness, got their reward, kept the mouths of lions shut.” There are many variations of that quote, but they all point to something about being rewarded for my actions and silencing a furious animal. Kind of interesting, actually. But come on… shut the damn lions up. I’m trying to sleep!
It’s amazing how much I can love a cat. Purr Purr is always there for me, almost to the point of being clingy. Did you know cats can be clingy? I love this photo of her giving me a kiss. I just thought I’d share that.
Introducing… the next song that will be stuck in your head. And of course… he’s on MySpace.

Why, oh why, am I writing about a mop?
