An article about the men’s underwear store Rodney and I started will be in the June issue of Out & About Newspaper. Click the graphic below for a larger, hi-resolution copy of the complete article.
On a sidenote, we now offer international shipping to anywhere in the world. A lot of people on this blog asked about that when we first opened, and now we can provide it.
We laughed, we cried, we applauded! I’ve never been to a movie where I felt like the audience was so connected to the film. It’s everything a Sex and the City fan could ever hope for! It truly is a movie for the fans. If you aren’t a fan of the show or haven’t seen it, most of the film’s dialogue will be over your head. But if you are familiar, you will love it!
12 more hours until we meet up with our favorite fag hag to see Sex and the City. I can’t wait! The reviews have been negative, but you know what they say about sex… even when it’s bad, it’s still good.
Well summertime is unofficially here, so that means it’s time to break out my sunless tanning body. The color looks good, nothing orange, but I’m bad about not applying it evenly, which leaves streaks. So fresh out of the shower, I came downstairs naked and asked Rodney to put the lotion on me. (Sounds like the beginning of some bad porn, by the way.) As he was putting it on, our dog Petey caught sight of my dick, just dangling around. I guess Petey has never seen a naked human. We usually wear clothes around the house. So as I was standing there and Rodney was applying the lotion, Petey stood up on his hind legs and sniffed my dick. I jerked away just as he was about to give it a lick. Disgusting. But humorous. Rodney said it was “blog worthy”, and I agreed.
2 kittens came back to Tennessee with us. I have a client who adopted them. 1 kitten went with her mother to live on a farm. That completed the pack. 20 days later, the mother cat showed up back at my parents’ house, 5 miles into town. Her baby was not with her, and is believed to have died along the travel. I just feel awful, so sad about the whole thing. They must have been traveling back to find the other 2 kittens. How in the world did that mother find her way all the way back to my parents? And I feel even worse that the 1 kitten died. I just wish there was a way to explain to this mother that her other 2 kittens are fine here in Tennessee. But the poor mother cat has no way of understanding this. She thinks her babies need her. How could she ever have found her way 5 miles back to my parents? I can’t even imagine the instincts she must have. Anyone who believes cats don’t have emotions is sadly misinformed. They are very intelligent, very sensitive creatures. This story proves that a Mother’s love is strong, even with animals.
What would you do if vandals cut the wires to your security cameras, cut the wires to your phone and electricity, and busted out your lights so that nobody could see them attack your home and property? Sounds like a horror film, doesn’t it? Now imagine it had happened to you more than 8 times in the past year, and even once right after your mother had died. What would you do? Call the local and state law enforcement? Well it has happened, right here in Tennessee. And law enforcement hasn’t done anything about it. The situation has become so extreme that the victims fear they will be murdered in their own home, and are planning on trying to get the FBI involved. This is a shocking situation and I’m repulsed that law enforcement (whose is hired to serve and protect) is looking the other way when these gay men clearly need help. The complete story is here. I urge all bloggers to help spread the word about this extreme hate crime and give it the national attention it deserves. Action needs to be taken quickly. I’ve seen too many memorials for gay victims hit the national news after it was too late to protect them. Let’s not make this another headline of two gay men who were killed in cold blood.
Go ahead, guess… I betcha never will.
Tonight, Ellen will be taping her interview live with Republican candidate John McCain. The segment will appear on tomorrow’s show. Bloggers have been speculating that Ellen will press him for answers on why he doesn’t support gay marriage. Historically, Ellen has not been a confrontational person. She is more likely to cry than to get angry, it’s just part of her loving nature. But she’s been increasingly outspoken about gay rights this season, and recently announced her engagement to partner Portia de Rossi. I am very curious to see how this one plays out. I truly don’t think it will get ugly. But I am hoping that Ellen stands her ground and makes him look like a fool. I would especially love it if she asked him point blank “Why do you believe I am a second class American?” She asked both Clinton and Obama about gay rights when they were on the show, so there’s no doubt the topic will be brought up with McCain. The question is how far will she take it? Ellen has a lot of leverage right now. She is voted the most liked daytime host, even above Oprah, and the public views her very positively. I think that if she decided to get shitty one time on the air, people would be okay with it. Take a risk, Ellen!
This is a poll taken on my site in August 2007. According to the votes, if the readers had to pick a President that day, an overwhelming number would have chosen Hillary Clinton. Around this same time, a lot of other blogs were conducting similar polls. Clinton came out the winner in all of them. Fast forward to January, 2008. Although Barack was picking up support, Hillary was still expected to be the next Democratic nominee. People loved her, especially the gay community. I read blog after blog showing support for her. During a debate on January 31, 2008, I started to see signs of something bad. A live debate between Hillary and Barack was televised. I remember that Rodney and I were trying to pack for our trip to New York, but couldn’t keep our eyes off the TV. Something wasn’t quite right… Every time Hillary was asked a question, she was cut off. She also got all the questions first, which seemed to provide an open opportunity for Barack to spin off whatever she said. Meanwhile, when it was his turn to speak, the mood was much different. People listened quietly, patiently. Hillary never seemed to get the same respect. A few days later, Hillary took over Super Tuesday. The excitement in New York could be measured by the energy of people in the streets. There were so many supporters, people handing out stickers, holding signs. I remember walking proudly through the streets of New York with my Hillary sticker on and other people cheered when they saw it. That night, she delivered an inspiring speech that made me a bit misty eyed. I felt so inspired for the future of America. It was a good time for Hillary Clinton supporters. But the crack continued. Every time there was a debate, she got the short end of the stick. She finally spoke up and asked to receive questions second. I felt as though she was scoffed at. The media had a field day, trying to build her up to be some mean old bitch. I was watching with my own eyes, it really did seem that she was being unfairly treated during the debates. I saw nothing wrong with her asking to be questioned second. From there, the rollercoaster started. Hillary started receiving blow after blow in the media, she started to fight back, projecting the negativity onto Barack. In retrospect, I think this was a mistake. She came off as too harsh, too negative. She even made me second guess my support. But what can you say? When you’re truly passionate about something, it shows. Just as she says, “America is worth fighting for.” All it took were a few months, and nothing is the same for Hillary. News report after news report portrays her negatively. Blog post after blog post attacks her. I tried to do a search tonight for recent blog posts that said something nice about her, and couldn’t find any. But when you block out all the noise from the media, Hillary is still loved by millions. She won some of the most populated states, including New York and California, and she even won swing states, which have historically helped predict who will win in November. The only thing I know to say is expect the unexpected. Just a few months ago, most people thought Hillary was the top choice. The tides can change quickly, and clearly there are still millions of voting Americans who do want her as President. It isn’t entirely impossible that the super delegates could turn the tables again. I can’t help but wonder where the 53% of people who voted in this poll last August disappeared to. Anybody out there? (Edit: I have no doubt I’ll upset some Obama supporter with this post. I want to point out that I am not Anti-Barack, and I never have been. Feel free to scour my archives. I’ve never said a negative thing about the man. I’m simply Pro-Hillary.)
There is a catch… The only movies available are the ones Netflix has added to their Watch Now section. Many new releases are not yet available and selection is somewhat limited. But time after time, Netflix has impressed me and I know they are going to be adding a great deal of content in the coming months. So I’m really looking forward to it. If you’re already a Netflix customer, you’ve probably noticed the option to watch some movies and TV shows instantly on your computer. Anything that’s available there is available through this. There are no additional monthly fees and you can still get DVD’s in the mail. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Anybody else buying this?

I’m not one to make impulse buys. But today I jumped on the bandwagon and ordered a
