I used to write a lot of posts about the bathroom. I called those my “Golden Years”. Heh. A recent post on Puntabulous reminded me how passionate my opinions were. It read: I hate when I’m in the bathroom at work. Sitting in the stall. Doing that thing you do when sitting in a bathroom stall. And you hear someone else come in, use the urinal, and then head straight for the door without washing their hands. And there I am. Sitting in the stall. Still doing that thing you do when sitting in a bathroom stall. Wishing I knew who didn’t wash their hands in order to avoid shaking them in the future. AMEN BROTHER! AMEN! I will never understand why so many people do not wash their hands after using the restroom. There is a sink strategically placed right by the door. What goes through their mind when they pass that sink? Are they cavemen who don’t understand water comes out of the faucet? I once had a straight friend who never washed his hands. Judging by his smell, I don’t think he washed much of anything. Anytime it started to rain, I had to push him outside so he’d get cleaned off. Back to the point… washing your hands should always be mandatory after any trip to the restroom. I realize you probably won’t die if you don’t, but I think it comes down to us being evolved as a species. Adults who live in modern society should understand that basic things like washing your hands are expected. That’s my rant on bathrooms for today. You may now go back to surfing YouTube. 
Well, well… I see how it is. I posted what was probably the most informative and relevant guide to preventing colds that I’ve ever seen online, and this was the response: - One comment about eating boogers. - One comment selling a product. - One comment that had that classic sarcastic humor I love so much. - One comment telling me to post naked photos of men. I should take you guys over my knee and spank you one at a time. But I digress…
Most spiders don’t bother me. The little ones you see around the house and garage… no problem. But the thick hairy ones… eck. They scare the hell out of me. For any new readers, let me preface by explaining that I am self-employed and work from home. When I go to the bank to deposit checks, I don’t really wear “clothes” per se. I wear a t-shirt and shorts. Perfectly appropriate for the drive-through teller, but not so good if I have to get out. As I was pulling up towards the bank, I noticed this big black spider crawling up the window. As the window went down, he crawled up until he was right at the top of the glass, staring at me and getting ready to cross over inside the car. I blew air in his face, which scared him and he went back down. But the fucker wouldn’t go away. So I pulled over to a parking lot and attempted to knock him off with a deposit slip. I must have looked like a crazy man. I’m sure people couldn’t see the spider, so I was just some guy smacking the side of my car with paper. Finally, I got out of the car in my housewear, closing the door so he wouldn’t try to get inside. He went right under the door handle. FUUUUCK! Now I had to put my fingers underneath the handle to open the door, which was a 50/50 shot whether or not my fingers landed right on him. He ran out as I put my fingers under there, coming very close to crawling right up my hand. Then he disappeared and I couldn’t find him. I seriously contemplated just walking home. Finally I got back in the car with visions of that spider crawling right up my leg under my shorts. I was terrified. I know he was just a spider, but he looked so big and evil. I went to the bank drive through, prepared to jump out of my car screaming like a little girl if that spider ended up inside the car. Luckily, no signs of him. I am never driving that car again.
Don’t you hate catching a cold? Of course you do. Well, this is the end-all, be-all post about avoiding colds. Save it in your bookmarks, print it out, e-mail it to yourself, share it with all your friends… do whatever it takes, but just remember to follow my instructions. Supplements: 1.) Start taking a zinc pill every single day! This one little pill helps build up your immune system and taking it regularly keeps it strong. DO IT! If it’s the only advice you take from this, please start taking zinc. 2.) You should also start taking a multi-vitamin. Every doctor in the world will tell you that multi-vitamins have numerous health benefits. I’ll admit, I do slack a little with these, but I do take them at least a couple of days per week. You should too. 3.) Keep a bottle of garlic pills and a bottle of echinacea around. Garlic helps your immune system and your heart. Echinacea helps your immune system. Take the garlic daily if your stomach can handle it, and take the echinacea as soon as you feel a cold coming on. How to protect your body: 1.) Wash your hands before you eat. I cannot believe how many people touch food without washing up first. How did it go out of style? Clean hands are always fashionable. Many people get sick by touching something that has germs on it, then putting food in their mouth, thus transferring the cold or flu inside their body. If nothing else, bring individual wet wipes or hand sanitizer. 2.) Use a neti pot to wash out your nose on a daily basis. A lot of germs float through the air and get stuck on the microscopic hairs inside your nose. Then they spread in your body and you get sick. A neti pot washes those germs out of your nose, making it more difficult for anything to stick. In addition, it helps reduce allergy symptoms. People laugh when I tell them about this, but neti pots have been used in other countries for centuries. Every person I’ve had try it gets hooked and swears by them! 3.) And finally, to protect your eyes, don’t rub them or touch them. Many people do it without realizing it. Not only does this irritate your eyes, but it can spread germs from other people who are sick. Summary These methods are extremely simple and affordable to work into your daily habits. Don’t put them off! Just think about how bad you feel when you’re suffering with a cold, you’re stuck in bed, you have to miss work, nobody wants to be around you, etc… Don’t you want to avoid all that? I can’t guarantee you’ll never be sick again, but I can guarantee these 6 things will reduce the amount of times you get sick each year, and also the severity. Now pass it on!
I am really bad at commitments. Some people might be surprised to read this, knowing that Rodney and I will be coming up on our 7 year anniversary next year. That’s a lifetime in “gay years”. But it’s true. At times, I am really bad about seeing something through to the end. I feel suffocated and trapped. I don’t like commitments, and I do my best to avoid them. So how have I maintained a relationship for this many years without ever having an affair or simply breaking up? Well, for me, monogamy comes naturally. I pretty much knew as a child that I wanted to have that happy marriage with a picket fence, and as I got older, I realized that being gay was no reason to settle for less. The energy that drives me each day is not the commitment I’ve made. It’s the love. It’s the reward. It’s knowing that I’ve really worked at something, and have something special with someone. It’s a drug I’m hooked on and come back for everyday, knowing that no other drug pleases me quite the same way. Monogamy is so underrated. People “try something new” like threesomes or open relationships. I’ve always frowned on those because I feel like that’s the easy way out. With all due respect, adults have the freedom to do what they want. So if you want to take that route, more power to you. I’m just saying that for me, monogamy works. Commitment… eh, it’s touch and go. Although they sometimes run in the same circles, they are actually very different. So here’s three cheers for monogamy, and taking the long road. You don’t know where you’ll end up, but it’s so much fun getting there.
Borrowed from Rey: Taken a picture completely naked? Made out with someone on your top 8 on MySpace? Danced in front of your mirror naked? Told a lie? Had feelings for someone who didn’t have them back? Been arrested? Made out with someone of the same sex?
I bought a set of 9 used DVD’s on eBay for the bargain price of $64.00. They arrived today and they are ALL pirated copies! They probably cost like 50 cents to make. I wrote the seller a scathing e-mail telling him that he had 24 hours to send me a full refund via Paypal, otherwise I was having him shut down on eBay, and also having his account suspended on Paypal. They have very strict policies on pirated DVD’s and if they caught wind of this, he would be in deep shit. The more I think about it, the more it makes me angry that this guy thought he could rip me off. I’m thinking about reporting him anyway, even if he does provide the refund. Is that vindictive? It feels kind of cruel, but what he’s doing just seems shitty and I don’t want it to happen to other honest, paying customers. The odd thing about it is that he’s never had one negative comment left on his profile. I wonder how he’s kept so many people happy? Well the joyride ends here. UPDATE: Thanks everyone for the advice. One friend actually advised me to report him to the FBI. I guess that would be valid. DVD’s do have an FBI warning at the beginning, and this is a classic case of bootlegging. I decided the FBI idea was a bit extreme, even though it would be fair. So I reviewed eBay’s guidelines and found out he’d violated three of them. I took the proper procedure and reported each violation, so now it’s in eBay’s hands. Even though he had it coming, I still hated being the one to do it. I don’t know how strict eBay is or what they will do about it, but that’s their problem now.
The 1926 Mediterranean style house that Ellen and Portia own is for sale in Montecito. The asking price - $24M. That’s big money to a Southern boy like me. I viewed the photo tour and it’s really beautiful. I love looking at California real estate because it’s so drastically different than what you see down here. I also love the 1920’s era feel of it. Here’s the website with photo tour.
Everyone’s buzzing about Tom Ford’s new ads. Why? I don’t get it. Is he saying his cologne smells “just like the real thing”?
Maybe I’m just too jaded by nudity and don’t even realize that an ad like this is still considered taboo to the general public. I do appreciate the raunchiness of it. I also appreciate that this guy’s ass has that “just lubed up” shine, like when you put too much lube on a guy’s hole so you wipe a little on his cheeks. C’mon, don’t tell me you’ve never done that…
Then here’s an ad with a woman. Again, looking a little shiny and lubed up. But I don’t know anything about that.
And finally, the ever famous photo from Out Magazine. I love how this looks like an amateur photo, taken with a standard digital camera. A tell-tale sign is the shadow on the wall from the camera’s flash. Photos that are set-up with professional lighting and staged usually don’t have hard shadows like this. But I don’t think it’s a mistake, I think they wanted it to look that way. I hope my ass looks like that when I’m 45.
