December 23rd, 2006

Well, doesn't the holiday season always bring out the best in people? (sarcasm) So I am in line at Zellers, and they open the cash next the line I am in. I tell the lady in front as she is next in line. She almost gets plowed over by these 2 native Canadians. When I said that she was next... their reply was "she never asked to serve the next person, she said anyone over here" I looked at him, and said "It's common sense and courtesy that she was next, you were at the back of the other line, how were you close to be next in line and waiting less time then the rest of us?" They just shrugged and turned around.

Gotta love lineups and how everyone thinks that they should be first. Who cares about anyone else. What is this world coming to?

Harper declares same-sex issue closed after Commons defeats motion

OTTAWA (CP) - The last major threat to same-sex marriage rights in Canada was soundly defeated in the House of Commons on Thursday, with MPs sending the message they don't want to revisit the emotional, divisive debate.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he heard the message and will respect it. "We made a promise to have a free vote on this issue, we kept that promise, and obviously the vote was decisive and obviously we'll accept the democratic result of the people's representatives," Harper said. "I don't see reopening this question in the future."

The question put to MPs was whether they wanted to see legislation drafted to reinstate the traditional definition of marriage, while respecting the existing marriages of gays and lesbians.

That Conservative motion failed 175-123.

In the tense Commons, MPs watched each other carefully to see how the other would vote. Some Liberals cheered as prominent Tories voted to let sleeping dogs lie. Some Conservatives applauded Liberals who did the opposite.

Ultimately, more MPs supported same-sex marriage than in the last vote on the issue in June 2005.

During that charged vote last year, only three Tories voted in favour of expanding the definition of marriage. On Thursday, the number who approved the status quo was 13, including high-profile politicians such as Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay, Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon and International Development Minister Josee Verner.

Said Cannon: "The file is finished. We're turning the page."

On the Liberal side, the number of MPs committed to going back to the traditional definition of marriage dropped from 32 to 13. MP Joe Comuzzi, who lost a ministerial post the last time around for refusing to toe the cabinet line, voted against Thursday's motion.

Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe, who himself had two MPs snub party discipline Thursday by not voting at all, said he imagined the result was precisely what the Conservative government was hoping for.

"I think it's over now. I'm pretty sure that Mr. Harper is also pleased with what happened," Duceppe said.

In fact, many Tories had said privately -and publicly - over the last few months that they wanted to get past the same-sex marriage issue and have it done with before the next election.

Tory MP Bill Casey said the vote came as a relief. Casey also went from supporting traditional marriage to wanting to have the matter closed.

"If the vote had gone the other way, we would have spent the next several years with this as the main motivator here .�.�. so I just voted to move on," Casey said.

But some politicians were questioning whether the Conservatives had something else up their sleeve. Some reports had said the government was poised to introduce legislation to protect Canadians who did not want to perform gay marriages for religious reasons.

Justice Minister Vic Toews and Harper said that wasn't in the cards, for the time being.

"The government has no plans in that regard," Harper said. "If there were any time in the future when fundamental freedoms were threatened, of course the government would respond to protect them. The government has no plans at this time."

The House of Commons has been dealing with the issue of same-sex marriage in earnest since 2003, when the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that barring same-sex couples from marriage was unconstitutional.

Gays and lesbians began marrying in the province, and soon other jurisdictions faced similar rulings and began issuing licences.

About 24,000 gay Canadians, as well as foreign visitors, have been married in the last three years.

The previous Liberal government took the further step of consulting the Supreme Court on whether its own legislation would infringe upon freedom of religion. The court responded that the Charter would protect churches from having to officiate such marriages.

Laurie Arron of Canadians for Equal Marriage celebrated the decision.

"It's quite clear that after three votes in three years in three different parliaments that this issue is settled," Arron said. "It's quite clear there is a growing consensus among Canadians the equal marriage is here to stay."

Meanwhile, REAL Women of Canada, a socially conservative lobby group in favour of traditional marriage, said they would push for a national referendum on the issue.

"Elitist political leaders apparently believe that Canada is still in the twentieth century, where political parties ignored the opinion of the voting public," the group said in a release.

"Arrogant political leaders do not, in fact, know what's best for everyon - e."

Went to see the new 007 flick, Casino Royale. It was an ok movie as a whole, but not, in my opinion a traditional BOND film. Too much focus on a love story, not enough gadgets, not enough explosions and no Q. There were some cool moments, but he did drive a FORD for a couple mins there... What is up with that.

(next part may ruin it a bit)

I think that the "organization" that you never really find out about, maybe be SPECTRE....

Went camping this past weekend. Have not been back woods, crown land camping in about 5 years I guess. Got off work, drove to Honey Harbour, got in the boat (Jeff (brother)  picked me up) with his GF. Started on our way, and then as we were half way there, it started to DOWN POUR, so we got wet, real wet. 14ft aluminum boat, no covering. :P

Stopped by the time we got to the site. It was great to be out in the wild again, with part of the old crew. It has been TOOOOOO long guys. A few of us went out to McCrae Lake, (where we used to camp, this new spot is much better) we portaged the boat across the rock so we could use it in McCrae. Set on our way to find the jumping rock. Found it after some travel, and there were some HOT Americans there. From Troy, MI area.

It was about 30ft high, give or take. We just started Jumping. Chris (the brit, here on vacation) loved it. Went a couple of times, and on my last jump, I went down wrong.  You have to watch your form... point your toes, arm up, and when you get under water arc your body so you don't go toooo deep. Well I entered on an angle /. And now my bum is bruised and sore. Almost to the point of needing a donut to sit on.. lol

Went the next day, and did one jump, and impact pressure hurt my eardrum. Excruciating pain. Now for those that don't know, and not many people do. I had some kick ass killer ear aches when I was 5yrs old, this felt like that. My dad and brother have issues with depth as well, Genetics. Well finally got packed, and home, and the pain was worse... Thank you Tylenol 3's... There is a video of the jump, so watch out for it, when I get it sent to me, I will post it.

So I went to Cedars this weekend, I promised a friend I would be there no matter what. I forgot to mention the weather as a stipulation. It was fawking cold, windy and wet. Some dykes couldn't pitch a tent properly, it was folding over in the wind, one blew over. Most of the camping area was under water. Just the hardcore campers were  there.

Met up with this seasonal guy Tony, he was a blast, and Nicki, Michael and Shawn had the site next to us. Casper knew them from last year.

It was still a good time even though it was cold, wet and windy. Most people just stayed at their sites, not much cruising this year. There were some cute guys there.

Lots of the wimps left on Sat night. Couldn't handle the cold... tsk tsk

So it wasn't a waste of a total weekend, I did make out and french kiss a dyke afterall.

Well, I don't get it. The U.S. wants church and state separated, and then in the PUBLIC school system, they start whining about religious beliefs.

As posted on Rogers Yahoo News : Reuters
"The complaint said the school had "begun a process of intentionally indoctrinating very young children to affirm the notion that homosexuality is right and normal in direct denigration of the plaintiffs' deeply held faith.""

A teacher read the book, "King and King", written by 2 Dutch women, it is about a Prince who rejects all the princesses and eventually falls in love with a Prince, and they kiss.

The parents are saying that it breaks a 1996 law that requires the school to notify parents of sex-ed classes. Apparently, 2 men kissing is sex-ed. So had the story been about a man and woman, would they complain when they kissed that it was sex-ed?

It did not agree with the families moral values they are Judeo-Christian, so you know what, don't send your kids to a public school. Remember when everyone bitched to remove the Lord's Prayer from public school? If they want to have the separation, and have their kids taught more in line with their "personal family values" then they should send their kids to Catholic or Private school.

Just the same as when I was in High school, I can remember when kids were bitching that they had to take a religion course, well you know what, you are in a Catholic school... Deal with it or go somewhere else. YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND, you CHOSE TO ACCEPT THE CURRICULUM.

Ok, so the beloved hotels.com, is CRAP. They don't have lower rates, I have tried to use it 3 times, and each time, it was cheaper to use the actual hotel website then hotels.com. So don't always assume that hotels.com is cheaper, and even the girl on the phone made me wait about 10 mins while she logged onto the site, and she would only match it. Last year, they tried to say that a room at the Days Inn was $800.00 per night. Even the manager was floored when I asked him on the phone, and said, he had to follow what accounting said.

The 2006 Turin games are over... and Canada had it's best ever!! 24 medals 7, 10, 7 in Gold, Silver, Bronze. Cindy Klassen became nabbed the highest medal count in a games for a women with 5. Hopefully the next games will have more of an audience then these did. Sure our men's hockey sucked out, but I think that they deserved it. They were a bit cocky. I read somewhere that if you added up their NHL salaries, had that been an actual team, it was worth more then 800 million dollars, almost 1 Billion, that is ridiculous. We did have lots of fourth places as well. A couple by .003, and .004, but they still weren't medal wins. This ain't Meet the Fockers, they don't give away ribbons up to 10th place. Top three baby. I am still proud of our Olympic Team, and they should be proud as well. Here is to Vancouver 2010 and an even better medal turnout, we can't have another Calgary, where we did not even get a Gold.

Although I would have liked to beat the U.S., just because. But we wanted 25 and top 3 finish, we got 24 and 3rd.

Check out the final standings on my photo page.

Tonight was the first known Drag Show that was held in Midland. So of course I had to get tickets. I took Kris, Frank, Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa. It was the the RIV BISTRO which normally serves great food. So, here is a bit of a review. As a whole it was ok as drag shows go. Even though when I said DRAG to the performer, he got insulted, dude your wearing more makeup then that preacher lady, and wearing a dress. UR IN DRAG.

Madame Outrageous, for someone who has been doing this for 20 yrs, did not really know the words to the songs, not lip syncing very well. I mean really. She also did not seem to have a plan for the evening, and when the show is 2.5 almost 3 hours long, you should have a bit, or plan, or act, something. Her partner and musical director, Peter T, had better syncing. The dinner was pretty good. I heard the fish and steak were great, but the pasta was bland, and salad had TOO MUCH PEPPER IN IT.... WAY TOO MUCH.

I think again it was good to open some eyes in Midland by having a drag show here, and I may support more in the future.

The show ended on a bad note when she insisted on one more number, and proceeded to take her wig off, and start talking on what to do, and decided to just do that and she'll wing it, as she put it.

It is the last day of Gay Ski Week 2006... :( so sad.. But I leave having met lots of new friends, and had a great week of skiing, the only way it could have been better would have been 10cm of fresh snow everyday... But C'est la vie. The FRESH Heights Dance until Dawn party, was a circuit party, but it was still a fun time. Looking around seeing all the new friends, kissing and making out, all the one niters that are about to happen. It was sweet... Dave painted his body and danced in a skimpy fur underwear thing, that's our Dave. I will definitely be back next year, hope to bring one or two of you with me... Y'all would enjoy it.

 

 

February 10th, 2006

Well, today was a great day on the mountain. Was supposed to be my last day skiing, but I am here, and so is the mountain, and well the weather may never be this great in the future. I may as well take advantage of it.

They announced the results today of the charity race for AIDS VANCOUVER. There was a tie for first. I will post the results when they email them to me. They said that they would... One of the people that won 1st, was a lesbian from I am not sure where... The other person was.... ME! That is right, I tied for first with .05 off my guessed time. I can share the title, the prize turned out to not be as expected. I got a pair of ladies small gloves (going to try and exchange), goggles, hat, and an all access pass to next years event. That is worth about $300-400, so not all bad. Tonight is the pub-crawl and I was invited to a private party at a big condo as well, so I may check that out as well.

Tonight's event was the pub crawl. We started at Maxxfish, wish is a pretty good bar. The DJ however was on a power trip. He just played "we are family" and another pretty gay track, so for fun me and my friends requested "YMCA". The DJ said that he would much later, I asked why not now, he just played some pretty gay tracks. His reply to that was "I am the DJ, not them, I play it when I want". We left and went to Moe Joe's, a little more clubby music (5ive type), but lots of cute guys, some straight ones that did not know where they were... that was fun... :D DJ Nasa from Puerta Valarta Mexico in my opinion is not a good DJ, a DJ should take into consideration and play what the crowd wants to play. I mean were all drunken homos... YMCA just fits... chit.

XIEK SKI's NAKED

Yes that is right, Xiek skied down a racing slalom course completely naked, just wearing his goggles. The event was for charity, to raise money for kids with Aids. If we went naked, we got a 2 second handicap for our times. There was one other that I heard of and saw that went naked. I also heard of one other that went shirtless. We had to guess our time and then go down the course and try to achieve that time. My 2 best runs were .05, and .09 of a second off my guess. I hope that is good enough. The prize is a new pair of skis, they will announce it on Friday at one of the parties.

Now though, I am known as the naked skier amongst the guys here. Don't count on too many pics posted here of my bare ass... I am sure they are already on the net somewhere, or in a magazine... There was more then enough cameras there. At least one professional, not sure what she was taking for though... :$

SO it has been 2 days of skiing. OUCH.. my thighs...  They are soooo sore. First time skiing in a year and I ski the bloody height of the mountain... If your going to do something, do it right.

Met some familiar faces from last year. That was great, some names and info I knew, some took a minute to click in. Had a blast skiing with Kevin and Sherry from last year. Met some great lesbians from Dildo, NF (Ottawa, ON really) they apparently have become my pimps.. Trying to hook me up at every chance. Last night on the 6th, managed to somehow have a cute boy follow us home, Patrick.. A sort of local. Ended up in the hot tub at 1am, nekked, then off to the steam room nekked too...

There are lots of hot men here.. so far most of them are already partnered.. :( Went to the COWBOY party last night, in my get up, ended up in a dance off with another cowboy (still not sure how) I was pretty sore, so my dancing was not that great. He had a better authentic hat anyways. I got the consolation prize, a free facial and gay week DVD video diary.

If you happen to be reading this and were there, go to the ASK XIEK page and let me know. I would love to hear from all you gay skiers out there. Some that stand out, are Pat and Kathie (OTT), Greg (CA), Kevin (Holland) & Sherry (NY) and Princess (forget), Jason and Yoav (NY), Hal (BC), Dan (NY), Will (NY), Simon (Thailand), Liz and ___ (UK). Homos have come from all over the globe. It is great, and they are all pretty much friendly and easy to talk to. check out the pics section for photos of the adventures. Will be updated as friends email their pics to me and I add them to the site. Should prove to be lots of them.

 

 

February 5th, 2006

Well, today was the first day in Whistler, I spent the weekend in Vancouver with Sheldon. It was good times, relaxed during the day, and partied at Odyssey and Celebrities on each night. Met up with my friend Rod, partied with him, met his very cute friend Jason... Invited Sheldon up to Whistler, along with his friend Peter (CUTE AUSSIE), how could I not ask him along?

 

January 12th, 2006

Ok, I came across this as I was reading the Instinct Cover Boys Blog page. bratboyschool.com, it is a review of a gay porn written by a straight guy, and this tells us why he did it.  If only all breeders were as cool as him.

Why would any logical straight guy willingly review gay porn? Because gay people are amazing. Gay people earn more money than straight people, are more cultured than straight people, and generally have have a much better sense of style than straight people. Gross generalization? I think not. According to Forrester, a leading marketing research firm, the average household income for gay people is $61,300 compared with $56,900 for heterosexuals. In addition, 19% of gay men hold post-graduate degrees compared with 14% of straight men. 84% of gay men and women hold a valid passport compared with the United States average of 29%. Thus, gay people are better than straight people. Do I even have to say that it is trendy to be gay now?

Straight people are boring. We watch sports, play mind games constantly in relationships, and have a horrible taste in clothing. Reviewing gay porn essentially makes me slightly more gay than the average straight guy, and resultingly, slightly more cool than the average straight guy. I'm willing to do about anything to be cooler than my vagina-loving, hawaiian-shirt-wearing peers in the straight community.

Make sure to tell me what you think of my reviews on the JuicyGoo Message Boards. I hope you enjoy my reviews. Stay strong, stay gay, and stay cultured!

January 8th, 2006

Today we went to see the much talked about "Brokeback Mountain". I must say I really enjoyed it. Took some thinking and paying attention though. It was really deep and I guess everyone will get something different out of it. I recommend that you go and see this movie. It shows both the external and internal struggle in dealing with being a homosexual.

 

** DO NOT READ THE REST OF THE ENTRY IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE**

Heath and Jake make a great team, and well are very sexy lying together and kissing on screen. Not as much skin shots as one would hope for. The first sex scene I didn't really get, there was no lead up, no real hints, just a wham bam pass out and sleep. Sounds like a date I once went on.. hehe

After that night, they have many more on the mountain, but don't see each other after that summer for 4 years. And after that, see each other a couple times a year, going "fishing" and "camping" for a week or two. Both are married with kids.

They hide their romance for a number of years, but one wife saw them kiss that first meeting, and has suspicions every since, she set him up pretty good and caught him in a lie.

Jake wants them to move in together and start a ranch, but Heath is scared to live with a man, as what people may do to them if they suspected. 20 years go by of just little meetings here and there.

In the end, Jake dies on the side of the road, though it is unclear if it was an accidental death, or if he was murdered. When Heath's character finds out, he is crushed and regrets not showing his love more.

 

MY MORAL - Seize the day, don't wait, take that chance, cause you may never get another one.

 

 

January 4th, 2006

I have gotten a lot of responses to my New Year Address, more then I expected, which is great. Some of you were surprised that I could get that 'deep' and emotional in my e-mails. I do think about stuff like that a lot, and often. It wasn't meant to sadden anyone, more of just a "food for thought". I am sure it meant something a little different to everyone. Next time you get upset about a mistake that someone made, that is life, people make mistakes, don't you?

 

December 31st, 2005

Well 2005 has come to an end. As I reflect back on this past year, as everyone should, and just do a check on on where you are in your goals. Everyone should have some goals for themselves to achieve.

2005 I went to Altitude, met some great guys from around the world. Some came to TO to visit, and I went there to visit them as well. An ex moved into my townhouse, and we became closer friends. I quit my 12 yr career to move home and work for Dad, which meant leaving my friends in the city. Made some new friends up here. Met a boy, and are dating him. Spent New Years at the Gay Bat in Sudbury, it was a lot more fun then you think. And have re-connected with old friends thought lost.

I didn't get promoted at McD, I didn't travel as much as I wanted to. I don't have my own house yet.

I challenge all of you to do the same. What did you do and didn't you scratch off your list? How many NEW people did you meet? How many old friends did you lost touch with. As you think of that, take a minute and send that e-mail to that friend that you don't talk to often but would like to. Don't let the excuse "well they don't email me" be the reason that you don't talk anymore.

There is an email about friendship out there. "Are you a reason, season, or lifetime?" Those are the 3 types of friends there are.

 

December 21st, 2005

So today is the first day of winter... officially at 1:35pm.... Wiked...

Can't wait to go skiing, had not gone yet, we had snow, but not enough, hope to get more, but the weather forecast calls for rain on Christmas. :(

oh yeah, and Merry Christmahanukwanzmakuh to all!!!!

 

November 17th, 2005

Got my flu shot today. Not sure if it was for the first time or not... I cannot remember if I have gotten one in the past. So we will see what this does this year, if anything at all... But with that Bird Flu M1 something 9 going around out there, thought I better get my shot, before there is none left, as there is not enough to give the whole country. Bet ya didn't know that eh?

I also decided today that I ain't going to comment on my friends Scott's site, until he leaves a comment on mine. I think that is fair.

Also asked some of my sk8r friends for their help and support in building the indoor skate park at the Old St. T's that some people are starting to try and do. Will have to see where that can go.

 

 

 

October 15th, 2005

It has finally happened, well maybe it happened before this, but I just really noticed it today.

I was driving a customers car to their work, yes we do deliver on occasion, well I was trying to cross Bayfield, the shop is in a peculiar spot for this. I wanted to go right to the right, and turn right at the lights, which is close. There was a big Chev Diesel truck in the middle lane, I signaled to him that I wanted to go right over to the other side, he looked at me and then closed the room in front of him. How inconsiderate of him. Well at least the person behind him let me in, but just as this happened a red TransSport sped up the right lane and cut in with no signal on and almost hit me (keep in mind I am driving a customers car). The real kicker, remember that Chevy Truck? Well it turned into the left lane, the one I was in when it wouldn't let me in, he did not signal, and the only reason he had room to pull out, I was blocking all the traffic behind me.

I thought Canadians prided ourselves on our good nature and caring for others. When did we lose this trait? Especially in the north up here, I can see doing that in Toronto, or Montreal, well I have been to those places and HAVE seen it. Do we only treat other countries with our kindness, and who cares about our fellow Canadians? We cannot let this go on.

We all need to do our part to help each other out. So DON'T speed up and merge at the last second squeezing in where you shouldn't, DO wait and let one car into the lane from the onramp. When Merging, think ZIPPER, they alternate the teeth, if more then one tooth of a zipper tries to get in between two others, the zipper fails... Much is the same when merging. THINK ABOUT IT.

 

October 14th, 2005

Ok, get this. As reported by global news. Vlado Miljkavich is serving a life sentence for a double murder. He is a non-smoker and while in jail, was exposed to 2nd hand smoke. So he hired a lawyer, sued the CSC (Corrections Services Canada), and won $5,000. He is working on a second suit for something undisclosed at this point.

I mean really, and did you know that out of country prisoners WANT to stay in our jails, because they are internationally known to be CUSHY. Over the last couple years, over 41 inmates have transferred home from abroad. They were in jail for committing crimes in another country. Only 4 have left Canada to go to their native country. If I can remember I believe it costs Canada about $30,000 to transfer a prisoner home and about $84,000/yr to house a prisoner in a Canadian Jail.

Is that right? Should a criminal have a better life then a lot of law abiding Canadians, is the reform of a person possible? Is it worth it? Should we cut down resources available to convicts?

 

 

October 10th, 2005

Well what a fucking shitty end to a great nite. Dinner and chat was great, but then since I did not come to a complete stop at a red light, and a cop was nearby, there is nothing better for a cop to do in this small town.

I mean in Oakville when my car was broken into, vandalized, wallet stolen, they wouldn't even send a cop to take my statement, I had a fingerprint as well. The cop actually said I was up shit creek, I mean really, and up here, they send 2 cruisers to investigate a bicycle stolen at a farm on some remote concession. Maybe this is a rant as I am pissed off that I got caught for not stopping, but I do think that means that we have too many cops in this town, and not enough in the big cities. Look at the gang activity there. Also, one can argue that if we had less, there would be more crime here then there is now. The door swings both ways, now the question is, do I fuck him when he comes into my shop to get his car fixed or act like nothing happened?

I believe it is true, cops do pick on the high priced cars more then the shitboxes. Trust me on that one.

WIND STORM RUINS DATE!!!

 

September 19th, 2005

Well this weekend was my first long road trip in a long time!  Went to the windy city, Chicago. Took my friend Jeff along for the ride. What a ride it was.

Ok, first off, American roads... do they pay taxes at all? And if so, do they spend any of it on the roads? I mean I literally had to stop and check to make sure I didn't break a tie rod or spring. It was BRUTAL.

We went for a Lance's B-Day, it was a grand party, from the guy who likes str8 porn, to the Jew, to the many many any bottoms.... Heaven.. :P

Some guys from the party, Daniel and Michael took us out to the bars that night, they kept us out pretty late. Jeff met Pietr, from Poland, he was in the US to learn English, and wanted to have sex... LOL, damn those strict Catholic roommates eh Jeff? Hydrate, Sidetraxx, and Roscoe's were on the list, don't ask me where we were, or when we went to what bars, I had quite a bit to drink before we got to that point. Lance had an open bar at his place....

We spent the day walking around DT looking at the architecture of Chicago, went up the Hancock centre and the girl lied to us about facts... well they have played on them. The Hancock tower is supposed to have the highest restaurant in the world, but the CN Tower is quite taller then it, and has a restaurant at the top, I have not checked the specifics of elevations above sea level... Some great architecture though, and it was a good view from the top.

Went out to dinner to PingPong's with Todd, and he was right, the most feminine Asian waiters you will ever see, EVER. But damn the food was good. Oh, and it was BYOB, so we had to bring our own wine, there was a wine store right across the street... most of the tables are on the sidewalk, great place to cruise...

And it was back out for a bit on Sat nite. Although not for long, we was tired.... Sorry Jeff. :(

Brunch at Crew a gay sports bar.. Yeah, who knew, I thought the same thing, but it was kewl. While we were eating, some drunk guy fell into a paper box and knocked it over, spent 10 mins on the ground, on his back (closet gay) and then tried to get on the bus for free. Who knew we had free entertainment, it was a great brunch theatre, although the shows have no set time, your sure to see something there, wherever you are.

Start the long drive back, construction, car parts all over the road, and lots of speeders. It was great. Found lots of runners, but forgot to slow down when I lost mine. he he, $95 US for 5 miles over... Yeah I know OMG. he he oops.

Oh yeah, and I would be safe with the stat of 1 in 10 cars in Chicago had pretty substantial damage to somewhere on them. Mainly bumpers and 1/4 panels. Apparently, they use the the bump method of parallel parking. Even cars with reverse censors and cameras, still hit the car behind them.. I mean really. It was hard for us to drive 10 miles without seeing some part of a car on the side of the road, from wheel bits, to bumpers, to 1/4 panels to transmissions... yep, we saw one of those on the side of the road.

All in all, it was great, there are some pics up now, some more to follow when Jeff sends me his. I will return to the windy city in the near future, who is coming with me next time?

 

 

 

September 6th, 2005

First off, SWEET CAROLINE, BA BA BA!!!!!!

Well this weekend I got invited GAY CAMPING by Casper.... and well it was very much GAY CAMPING all right. I mean, a dance club, pool and restaurant is not real camping. The place is called Cedars, and has been there for 17 years, 138 acre's I think.

Met a lot of people that I already knew there, and some new faces as well. Umn, Stacey, Mario, Rob, George, Nancy, Rob's Neice (sorry), Luan, Kossum, Carlos... Those were the main ones, and well then there was Adrian from Bermuda.. YUM

Mario is just about the coolest str8 guy I have met to date, and his gay neighbour Rob, is one of the cooler homos I now know as well.

It was tent after tent after tent of homos, it was better then I thought, but different then what I was used to. I am used to backwoods bushwhacking camping. No toilet, no dance club, no restaurant, no people around, just lots of trees.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, now I think I have seen everything... I guy had his tent next to ours, had an air mattress that had (I am going to call them clasps). It went all around and had about 8 rings so you could be tied up and shit... I mean, I guess when your camping you still like to be tied up....

Oh and how could I forget the sites that brought projectors with laptops and played porn on makeshift movie screens... I mean only at a gay camp would that happen...

 

 

August 8th, 2005

OK, so it is a little delayed. But yes, Xiek has resigned from his 12 year job under the Arches. It was hard, it was a huge part of my life, but all good things must come to an end. Whether we want them to or not. For a while, I had been thinking of moving on, and as much as I am sure he would be proud to think it was all HIM that made me leave, it wasn't. Though he was a BIG part of it. There are just some people out there who you don't get along with and never will, you just clash too much, and well HE was one of those people to me. I will miss my LADY, my BABYDOLL, and all the rest of the employees that I have hired, worked with and fired over the years.

That last day was teary eyed, with the friends bringing presents and seeing me walk out in uniform for the last time, I am getting vaclempt just writing this.

And to my customers, that said goodbye, got me little things, and gave me advice, I hope that our paths will cross in the future.

 

July 16th, 2005

Well today was the Peel Pride Picnic. On the way up the 410, me and a hot guy in a Volvo were playing tag.... If anyone reading this knows him, tell him to email me.. he he

The Picnic did not seem to have as well as a turnout as last year, I think because of the weather. It was still a fun time. The men won the tug-o-war again this year. Was there any doubt???

It rained for the last 2 hours, but again, we made the most of it and there were a lot of we Queers.

I did meet some familiar faces from last year. Was nice to see them again, it would be nice to see them more then just once per year, but what can you do right?

 

 

June 27th, 2005

Yes, you guessed it, PRIDE TORONTO was this past week. All-in-all it was a great week as a whole. Loved to meet all the new people, talk to ones from all over the Globe. Heather from Rochester was an amusing one to talk to. Telling us that Toronto was it's own country, had she not been sloshed, I could kind of see that analogy, with our different cultures, high population, and well non-easy transfer to surrounding cities via transit.

S & S from couver came out for PRIDE again, it was a blast with them on Friday and Saturday. Shawn can suck a mean neck and not leave evidence of his presence, funny though, he likes to tell where he as been. Could not find any futons this weekend though. The best line of Pride this year. Waitress: :How's your Rum and Coke doing sir?" Xiek: "It's empty"

Chad, well what can we say about Chad, he was in the parade handcuffed to a VERY HOT BOY. Which then turned out to be 90% nekked in my bed napping after the parade, hey I was not complaining. :P

Not as much liqor was consumed as originally planned, I take that as a good thing, which meant that I had a great time, with just a buzz.

Victoria and Michael my most favorite awesomest bartenders in the world at Buddies, made my Sat. night enjoyable. Every bar needs tenders like them. The rest of the staff at Buddies is "da bomb" as well. Vic, LJ, Chris, IVAN, Mikey, Paul, Pat, Gavin, they make for a really enjoyable time, and are great under pressure as well.

Stayed at the DELTA, nice hotel you would think, the room was really nice, no fridge though.... ARGHHHH and well the housekeeping staff missed a lot, the goop on the outside patio door, and some of the inner room tidiness. So next year definitely going to try to book earlier and get a hotel closer. Thinking the Sutton, but will ask the DYKE how it was, that is where she got.

 

May 15th, 2005

WHAT IS IT ALL FOR?

 

May 12th, 2005

Today was our Golf meeting with work... It was fun, we played 18 holes, T off at 9:48am, finished those at 1:30pm, and since the meeting was not until 3pm, we decided to play another 9. 27 holes of golf... my feet hurt, face and arms are burnt. BUT, I played a pretty good back nine, and a really good final 9 as well... For someone that has only played less then 10 rounds in my life, 96, and 45 are pretty good scores... :P

Now someone come massage my feet, back, and take care of me....

 

 

May 6th, 2005

Ok, so I forgot some stuff... Thanx to those that reminded me. Forgot that my friend Todd from Nebraska who I met in whistler was down for the weekend and came to my bday as well... I need the pics you took Todd. It was a blast seeing him, and he was in town recently again, but had to fly back early, so could not meet up with him.

AND, Shawn was back for a visit for his Birthday from Vancouver... So I had to leave work early to get his sexy ass from the airport. Back here to change and shower..... no futons though, and then off to KW to see some of his old friends. Hung out, had dinner, saw a movie, and then played Mario Party 6, and oh was it a party, what happens playing Mario Party 6, stays with Mario Party 6.

Can't wait for the next visit at Pride, and Sheldon will be with him.. YUMMY

 

May 6th, 2005

Ok, what has gone on since the last time? Well some Subby and I went out on the town, yes we are talking again, and well we got attacked by SANTA CLAUS... (self proclaimed) This 'homeless' person (is that ok? dwelling impaired?) who looked like Santa, and sounded drunk started talking to us, and well Subby took it one step further and went along with his Santa story.... This did not help... My friends from the US got grabbed, and my ass got grabbed, and we had to lose him....

XSRBBBES went off without a hitch, and well no cake on the walls this year... or the carpet...

HMMMMMM, the roommate situation is changing, and going to go through a major haul very shortly, some buy choice on their part and some by choice on my part.....

I think that is about it... the ones that chat to me, may know more....

I have been gettin a lot of strangers taking my quiz and doing pretty good on it... Keep em coming, and if you want a reponse, put a real addy there.

 

 

March 12th, 2005

Yeah it has been awhile since I updated this thing, sorry was busy with other stuff...

Went to go see Margaret Cho on the 10th... Fucking Hilarious... I love her so much, and the fact that she prolly does control ALGAYDA is even better... sorta like the Gay Mafia. The house was packed with homos of all kinds, some breeders did not realize here homo following I do not think. The ones beside me looked like they didn't anyways.. LOL

This coming week I am going to see RENT and WICKED, both musicals, busy month for musicals I know. And also going to send out the invites to my birthday party, which is going to be a toga party... WOO HOO... :D

Can't think of much else that is going on at the moment.

 

 

February 12th, 2005

So yeah there is a gap in my entries... Deal with it. We were busy walking our feet off. Went for a walk the other day, ended up in Stanley Park... 3.5 hours later, we got home. Almost sorta got lost... but the nice men in the forest helped us get out... No just kidding, we followed the path until we found civilization again and a map of the park..

It was a nice walk though.

Been to 2 bars here so far. Odyssey and Celebrities. Odyssey had a shower night, where boys get up in a plastic box take their clothes off and dance while being showered with water, it can be hot, only one of 2 boys was. Odyssey makes their drinks much better then Celebrities. REALLY STRONG

Celebs has a much younger and hotter bar staff then Odyssey, but they use machines to pour their liqor, and I am not even sure that it is a full ounce, I should have asked them to pour it into a shot glass first. It was odd having Bacardi in the pourers, but then having Bacardi as a free pour bottle on the bar as well, maybe it is my cynicism, but maybe it was not really Bacardi in the electric pourer.... Things that make you go hmmmmm.

Both had similar music, Odyssey was not as circuity as Celebs was though. And the cover was not as much either... Odyssey it is in my books.

 

 

February 7th, 2005

Today I got some disheartening bad news. My Grandfather has passed on. He was born January 22, 1931. It was a sad day he was loved by all and will be remembered as such.

We will miss you.....

 

February 5th, 2005

Today was the final day of skiing for me I think. 4 days in a row is enough for me for this week. Met some more really nice guys today, too bad we broke off from the ski group, our guide talked too much... I will see them at the APRES ski party anyways, well they said they were going.

I took 2 dives today, one good one, well ok, 2 really good ones, a big PUFF of snow, as soon as the other boys email me the pics, I will post them. As they took the pics of me.

Casper and Hansom20, you 2 would LOVE IT here, you really would, you guys need to come with me next year.

I need a massage.....

 

February 4th, 2005

Well tonite's events were Tea Dance at the top of Whistler and after that Meltdown at the bottom. Tea Dance was my choice, at $100 a ticket, not sure it was worth it, other then I met some great new ppl. I decided to ski tomorrow decided not to go Meltdown, and not sure that I wanted to pay an arm and a leg... Someone is making a fortune off us fags that is for sure.

After this week so far, I have yet to meet an arrogant American asshole. Up until now, all the Americans I have met have been complete assholes, but I guess I never have met gay ones.

The Gondola ride was quite nice up and down. Shared one with Jez on the way down, a brit that is here just for skiing fun during the season. Must be nice. He was good company.

It was my first "CIRCUIT PARTY", and where it was not a bad one, I have had much better times at normal bars, and did not have to shell out $100 a ticket for it.

 

February 3rd, 2005

We have had a great time, I say we, because I have met up with a great group of Americans. Went to a SAGA party last nite after our skiing, it was a private party that I got given a ticket to. It was a great time, met lots of great guys.

Today we went up to ski, and well, put ourselves in the wrong group.... so we broke off, Todd and Kevin staged a coup, and we went on our own, took a couple with us. Had a good ol gay time on our own.

Today's APRES ski event, was $30, and well, not really worth it... Just standing there, talking, although there were LOTS OF HOT MEN. I know this does not sound like me, but I must say that I was liking it a lot. I was one of the youngest, and have been for most of this week. It is nice to hang out withguys with substance to them. It has been an eye opening experience in that light.

We went out to dinner, 6 of us. Very nice time, very good conversation. Emberto's was the place, very elegant.

The guy that work's the storage shack from Australia is really nice, great conversationalist, he remembered me as well. In fact, I know this is a resort town, but most of the employees are nice, every lifty says HI to everyone as you get on.

Erin from Burlington, YUMMY.

 

February 2nd, 2005 (THE FUTON INCIDENT OF 2005)

This one comes to you from Beautiful British Columbia. I am here on holiday enjoying the great hospitality of my 2 friends Shawn and Sheldon. I do recommend that if you need to stay in Vancouver, Chez S&S is at the very least a 5 star accommodation. Spent the weekend in Vancouver gettin drunk in the house, and exploring the city a little bit.

Now I am in Whistler, went to the Cowboy night party. Lots of HOT MEN, good music, met some really nice guys from the area and abroad. Let me see if I can remember their names. Umn, James from London, England, Michael, James, Robin, those were the yummiest ones.... And there was my friend Dave, but he knows he is yummy.

Tomorrow we hit the slopes at 10am... it is 2am now... plenty of time.... :D

And my final note for the night... Save a horse, ride a cowboy.... :D

 

 

January 7th, 2005

Soooo, last night we went to Woody's for best chest. It was a fun night, knew some of the contestants, met some new people. The night got shitty when we were going to my car and they were about to tow me. I was parking in a no stopping zone with no permit, hard to read the sign. Fighting it.

Spent the night DT at a friends, get home this morning to find a Dear John letter in my INBOX, I am now single.

Off to a great start on 2005

 

 

December 4th, 2004

So I am in Sudbury... Tis not as bad you may think it is. I am here to visit my brother, who is going to school. Friday night I went to Zig Zag's which is the local gay bar, yes Sudbury has one. Not a bad one either.

They had a drag show the night that I was there, quite the fun experience. The 2 running it where really good, and the one in the short black dress was too, the rest, just seem to do it for shits and giggles. Oh, and there was a VERY VERY good Drag King. I was quite impressed.

Met some nice guys there, danced a little as well. Had lots to drink, at $4.75 each, an ok price, but they were pretty strong. Music was mainly top 40, but he had other stuff that he played... Did not have the original "I will Survive", I had to ask if it was a gay bar....

The decor was nice, and they practice a very interpersonal system for coat check. You have to give your name, and that is how they file your coat. Which works if there is a cute guy there, you can find out his name.... or the coat check is cute, he has yours... he he

All in all, I would recommend and would go to Zig Zag's again. Gets a semi-hard erection on Xiek's scale.

 

 

October 15th, 2004

So yeah, I am in Ottawa with my dykes... And of course they took me to a Dyke bar last nite. There was about 4 guys there, 2 of them were VERY HOT mind you, so it was not so bad. But I believe one of them was straight....

Bartender was real cute, and real good, knew my drinks fast and had them ready for me.

Tonight is Icon I believe, so maybe there will be more guys around.. Don't get me wrong I like dykes, but there is a limit.

 

 

October 1st, 2004

So Margaritaville was tonight, it was a good, had a great time, it was an 'amazing good time' - HappyGetLucky 'you sure through a good bash' - Chad

Looks like about 50 people were there at one point. Pretty good turnout if I do say so. Roommates invited some people I did not know, learning experience there.

The night was going great, meeting new people, everyone was mingling, the daquris and margaritas were flowing. Then 2 breeders wanted to see if they could put their fists through drywall from 3 inches. One being my roommate. 

He had his room broken into laptop and $$ stolen, I had 5 shot glasses that were given to me that night go missing,

On the plus side, I met someone for the first time with his BF, so that was great, and got some of my different circles of friends together and they meshed quite nicely.

So look for the next party coming soon to a Homestead near you.

September 25th, 2004

Yes, ok it has been a long time since I have updated this section of my site. I have been really busy and unfortunately some things had to give.

Quick update, things at work are still hectic, still understaffed, how do you keep kids working for you when Mommy's allowance offer for no work is much more appealing then having to actually do work for the bling?

I did manage to purchase a new car... I loved my VW, yes, I still like VW's but I have a new affinity for Mini Coopers.... What can I say, I like irony? Small car, big guy? It really is like Dr. Who's Tardis, bigger on the inside then on the outside. Got that at the end of August, so it is still new to me.

Still single, but dating. Have lots of new roomies now. 3 gay, 2 str8, all very kewl. Very few issues at the moment, we may have some cleaning issues in the near future.

Have been meeting lots of new people from the complex and partying with them.

Last night I went to Embassy for the first time in ages, and met a guy I have not chatted with in years. He recognized me, so yes to all of you, my pic does look like me. We chatted for a bit, just goes to show you you never who you will meet and where?

I wonder if this time he will stay in touch and email me??? Here's hoping as he was very cute and so was his friend... ;)

I think that is about it for now, you can still send me messages through my website, easiest way to get a hold of me, or on my cell if you have it.

 

 

July 8th, 2004

Well I am now starring in a new show. "The Single Life"

 

 

June 30, 2004

HEY HEY HEY, Pride has come and gone, and so have a lot of guys. LOL. I got my pics updated for Pride. I took about 210 photos that weekend, and still did not get everything in that I wanted.

To those whom I did not see, or spend much time with I am truly sorry. There is never enough time to fit everyone in. I did get to meet a lot of friends that I have not seen in AGES, and also a lot of friends that I have never met but have been talking to for years online. And of course, there were some new friends that I had never talked to or met.

I Hope everyone enjoyed their Pride and knew their limits, I know of one or two friends that partied a lil too hard. No names, you guys, errr girls know who you are. ;)

I think that there were much more people here this year than last year. Just seemed a lot busier. Although the parade this year sucked compared to last year. Not as many actual floats, lots of marchers, and just plain old cars driving down. The bloody thing took 3 hours to pass us.

The Peel Youth Group did make it into the Toronto Star photo of the parade though, just in the background.

Oh, and I managed to find a BF. He is an amazing guy, cute, funny, caring, social. All that matters in a partner. Looking forward to many a great time with him.

 

 

June 17, 2004

Guess it is time for an update. Has been a while. Pride is coming up, can't wait for that. Yeah I know lots of people are mixed on Pride, what can I say, I still like it for now, mainly because it gets people together.

Lots has happened, I now co-facilitate a gay youth group here in Peel. Also I am on the Executive of OUT@UTM , I am the external liaison... PLUS I still have my FT Job, which is improving everyday. Baby steps.

No real BF yet, although there is a really kewl special guy that I met, hope it works out with him, I really do.

 

 

May 14, 2004

PORT HOPE Here we COME!!!!

Gypsy was starring in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, in Port Hope at the Capitol Theatre. So 5 of us decided to go and support him. Well it was worth it. The show was not what I expected, but I loved what I got.  I knew what it was about, angry inch and all. Did not know it was pretty much a one man, errr, woman, errr person show. But it was done very well, and gypsy did an awesome job.

Port Hope, well what can I say about that. I wanted to go out for a drink in downtown Port Hope, but no one else really did. Even though there was a cougar cruising us from the window. Next time for sure, we will go out for a drink.

Came back to the Big Smoke and then we decided to go to the gaybourhood for some ice cream, that turned into a drink at Tango's turned into out until 230am. Well Xiek had to work at 630am. Can you say 1 hours sleep. But it was still a fun night.

 

 

April 21, 2004

We did our usual Wed nite thing. Fox & Fiddle in ssauga for cheap nite. And it was Mels last with us before she moved back home... I AM GOING TO MISS YOU MEL.

Well, ended up that we somehow managed to pick up 3 str8 guys, thanks to some help from Mel and Billy. Tyler was CUTE though. YUM YUM. They followed us back to our house, a lil odd yes. But they seemed nice and chatted with us until 5am. It did take them awhile to clue in that MOST of us were gay. After a couple of times of me callin Mel DYKE, and her calling me FAG, I think they caught on.

But a good fun nite all in all.

We slow danced on the dancefloor at Fox. 4 of us, switching now and then. When it came to me and Sean, we got dirty looks from all the breeders... But what the hell, it was damn good fun.

Apparently just after I came in, there were 5 cruisers here as someone called about a noise complaint, my neighbor thinks it was her roommate.... Guess she lives with a bad one too...

 

 

April 18, 2004

Yes, I am a lil slow at updating ok. I have been busy at work.

This weekend was the 3rd Annual XSRBBBES. It was short one of the Birthday boys for reasons not to be discussed here.

Friday of course was at Xiek's house and it was a fun nite had by all. I think my pullout got some action.

Thank you to all that came bearing gifts.

Sat night could have been better, Buddies was hosted by NDP. Umn yeah, but I did get my pick with Jack.. LOL, and the good thing, they had both sides open. Some great retro in the cabaret side.

Like I said, I am busy with work, so this is short and sweet.

Pics will be posted soon.

 

March 18, 2004

Sex pub at UTM, hosted by SEC and OUT@UTM. Quite the nite, Tighty Whitey contest, Female Jello wrestling. LOTS OF HOT COLLEGE BOYS, and they were drunk..... :D

Did witness some gay bashing though at one point during the tighty whitey contest. But I told the guy off, he apologized and walked away in shame. Don't mess with me Mary SNAP SNAP SNAP.

Although it was really nice to see lots of heteros and homos conversing and having fun. The bartending staff needed some more training on how to mix drinks properly though.

I must say it was an event to be attended again.

 

February 28, 2004

Tonight was Sperm-a-go-go. Just a celebration of spring. It was hosted at Xiek's house. Turned out to be a good get together, had a couple of different circle's of friends that came out, and mixed well. We partied into the wee hours of the morning. 21 people in all, and all had a good night. Sorry for those that had to leave early. Not really sure what else to say without giving too much away. Will teach all of you that did not come out to ensure you do not miss the next one. Yes, the 3rd annual XSRBBBES is coming in Mid-April, reserve your spot soon. Met some new friends at perm-a-go-go, so did all that attended, and we will see what comes of those new friendships.....

 

 

February 21, 2004

Went out to Buddies tonight. Met 2 really cute nice boys. You know who u are. Had a friend do what I do not want to think. Cheat on his BF.

I cannot believe that this person would do such a thing.....

Was supposed to stay at a friends house, but things do not always go to plan, so I came home instead.

 

February 20, 2004

What is there to say about tonight. Went to the Auto Show, walked around a lot. Saw some really cool cars, and some nifty concepts. Some I would own, some I would not. 3 of us went, and well 2 of us got tired and went home early. Still feeling somewhat social, I paid some friends a visit since I was already DT.

After a board game, we moved on to Truth OR Dare. Yeah, exactly what it sounds like. Learned some new things about my friends, and well some things that I had tried to forget got brought back to.

Lets leave it at that.

 

January 26, 2004

Wake up call at 730am to prepare for my flight home. I missed the 25th yes, well not much happened, drove Warren home, sat and vegged in front of the tube. Hey I am on vacation and do need to do that once in a while.

Got all my stuff ready, confirmed that my ride was able to pick me up as I received several calls about BAD WEATHER in TO. After quadruple checking to make sure that my flight was indeed on time. I got into the rental, made my way to the airport, and had a LONG check in line to wait in. Where I did not get the SWEET SEAT, I did manage an exit, so I have the leg room that I love so much.

At check in now, I realize that I left a print that I had bought on the counter, hopefully it is still in Vancouver. Maybe they can mail it to me.

Had breakfast at Milestones in the airport. Umn, yeah, 2 thumbs down. Eggs Benedict, icky. I do not recommend eating breakfast there.

Going through security was a chore as well. They only had 2 detectors open and well a VERY LONG LINE of people. I had to wait for 30 mins in that damn line. But did get through and then not much time to wait at the gate.

Boarded, and got seated beside a pastor or minister of some sort. Kinda funny, he was interested in the boys on my background as I was typing as well as the gay magazine I was reading.... But he was no where near the vocal ness of the Reverend Jerry Falwell.

 

 

 

January 24, 2004

Well, can you say HUNGOVER, I admit, I was. It does happen often but when it does, damn it is a doosy. What can I say, when I do something I go for the gold baby. It was a very long drive home from Whistler on the Sea to Sky Highway. It was heavily snowing when we left Whistler, plus you add the hungover factor and the one emergency stop. Live and Learn n'est pas?

Just hung out in the hotel in Vancouver today, tried to sleep, but was concentrating too hard on other things to sleep. TEE HEE. So when it was time to go out, I was napping. Went to Dave's in Couver at like 1030pm. Sat and socialized there with Paul, Josh, and Jacob. Very kewl people and hell, we managed to get line bypass and no cover which from what my other friends tell me, is rare.

Was not in much of a drinking mood obviously, nor did I feel like dancing. So I socialized with Jacob, flirted a little. By this time was Drunk as he should be giving it was his birthday an all. He then acted like a leach and attached himself to Warren's and my neck. Warren has more battle wounds than I do. The Odyssey never really seemed busy although they kept the lines outside long and slow moving. It was nice for a change not to be crammed in like sardines.

Finally met another friend of mine from Afbramastan, Perry. He is in Couver for school, and happened to be out Saturday night, am I surprised? Not really.

 

 

January 23, 2004

We did not ski Whistler today, we ended up on Blackcomb today. Visibility was poor at best. The ceiling was low and the good snow was in the clouds. At one point I could not see 30 ft in front of me as skiing. With a 1 mile total vertical, we skied 4,000ft from rendezvous lodge to the base in whistler village. I used muscles today that I forgot I had. Not a good idea to go to Blackcomb to ski for the first time in 2 yrs. Lots of Aussie's work here.

We did have a gondola ride with some HOMOPHOBES. Talking shit about ALTITUDE, the gay ski week here. It could possible be the last one, as the organizer did a swan dive off a balcony and well, did not survive.

Went to a high class steakhouse to meet a friend, he has a friend that works there. A VERY HOT friend I may add. The American was there as well, so Rick, Nick, Warren and I went to a place called Tommy's. Dave went home... party pooper. According to Rick, Tommy's as about as gay positive as you get. We did not notice any dirty looks while we were grinding on the dance floor. :D

Had TONS to drink, mixing shots not good, I forgot that was not a good idea the last time I did that.... tee hee.

 

 

January 22, 2004

Whistler is great, not as much snow as I would have liked to have seen here on the ground. Today we go skiing on the mountain. The drive out to whistler could have been better, it was raining for most of the way. But it was still a very nice drive. Hopefully nice enough to take pics of on the way home. As to date I have not taken many pictures. For the camera on may occasions. So there is a blitz of pictures coming now. Checked into the Delta Suites here in Whistler. Let me just say WOW. Full kitchen, washer/dryer, fireplace, king bed.

Took my friend from Ontario that is living out here at the moment out to dinner for his 26th B-Day, that just kind of happened, did not plan on it being his B-Day. He was pooped so he did not go out with us afterwards though. We wondered the Village, and found a bar called Moe Joe's. Not bad atmosphere, not that busy, live band and DJ, lots of cute drunk skiers and boarders. So the eye candy was good. Saw a couple of cougars there too. I would recommend this bar for a good time, but not for good drinks. The were measuring exact shots with a glass, and could barely taste any liqor. I had lots of drinks and well was not that drunk at all. At least 12 maybe 13, but was not buzzing at all.

January 21, 2004

We all went out on the town yesterday. Skypark, Fox and I went shopping bought some underwear. Hey we all need it. Had lunch at this 50's style diner, that had what looked like one of the original multi-mixers in it. And a very early version of networking. Jukebox controls at every table. The food and service was given 2 thumbs up by Fox and myself.

Dinner was at a place DV8, very nice atmosphere, nice background music. The service was not very good at all. Long waits between visits by the waitress. The food made up for it though. AMAZING food. Fox and Xiek both give one thumb up each.

Tried to go out to Pumpjack and Fountainhead last nite, but they shut down at midnight, what is up with that? We checked out Numbers, which has a great layout inside and at one time, apparently used to be busy. But there was like 2 people in there when we went in. So left quickly.

Ended up at Odyssey again. Busier night last night, had a drag show that started off scary, but got better as the night went on. Dancing afterwards, with good music and lots of really bad dancers. Met some RCMP officers. One of which was REALLY CUTE.

 

January 20, 2004

Woo Hoo, met up with my friend from Calgary, Fox-24, and spent the day at the mall shopping and playing at the Playdium. The skytrain service they have here is like our subway in Toronto except it is run on the honor system and totally automated. You do not scan your ticket or go through turnstiles, but you are required to purchase a pass that increases in price depending on long you travel. It is not pay one price like the TTC.

Had Sushi for lunch at this place can Tanpopo, I recommend it if you like sushi and are in the Vancouver area. It is by the water at the end of Davie.

Spent the night with Sweets barhopping. Started at PumpJack, I guess it is their leather bar. Drinks were on sale that night, and the bartender was mixing them strong. :) After that it was on to FountainHead were we met a guy from NF that bought us a drink after hours. The night was finished off at Odyssey, the main dance club here. It was not that busy, but still a fun night. Chris from Stouffville was there and was having a great time and working the room. Great dancer, and on the 2001 Odyssey Calendar. UH HUH.

 

 

January 19, 2004

Well here I am in Vancouver. Already a great trip. Had the best seat on the plane, emergency exit with NO Seat in front of me. Boeing 737-700 12a, the sweet seat. Had a colleague on the plane, unexpected. Landed 20 minutes early, first 3 bags off the plane were mine. Upgraded my rental to a Grand Am, and got to the hotel and got a free upgrade to a suite. The trip is great so far. Let's just hope that the luck does not die here and continues for the rest of the trip. If I was into drugs, it would have been good that the first thing I smelled as I got out of the car was Marijuana.

 

 

January 3, 2004

Went to Buddies with some friends, had to help one on the procedures for picking a guy up. He got nervous and could not do it.

And Gord actually played 5th Dimension for me... I could not believe it.

 

 

December 31, 2003

Well 2003 is now over. What did you do this year to improve your life and make it worthwhile? Or was it just another year for you? Think hard on that.

There were lots of people I met this year that by no fault of theirs I lost touch with, and some, well, e-mail works like phones, both ways. So to them I do not feel any hard losses. But there is some that I would have liked to keep in touch with. Do you believe that everything happens for a reason. I do.

The new was wrung in at Buddies with friends, we partied and had fun.

With the new year ahead for me there are lots of life decisions to make. The store I work at got sold, so now do I go Franchise, or stay Company? Tough call to make.

 

December 24, 2003

Merry Christmas to all. Yes I say Christmas, and not Holidays, if you do not celebrate Christmas then you know what I mean. I respect your beliefs, so respect mine. :P

Santa was good to me, now I can have some fires in my fire place as I got a screen for Christmas. Now I just need someone to cuddle with on the couch in front of the fire. Accepting applications.

The family is just about all together up north. Even the Black Sheep of the family was there, hell he lives with Grandma still. Every family has one, but not sure that he is anything like ours, we love him cause he is family, but I think you all know.

 

December 23, 2003

Well it was LION KING tonite. Big gay night out, Happy, Subby, Casper, Randy80 and myself. The first of a series of outings coming in the new year. Did you know that it costs you approx $0.75/hr to nap at the Lion King. Just ask Happy if you want to know for sure.

Then off to Tangos for Kareoke afterwards. What can I say a classic. There we met up with Bradford & Husband, Dgerrard, The Living Dead, and the bubbly host, FOOFER.

 

December 19, 2003

Well went to Grapefruit tonite, and well lots happened. Hereby referred to as "the incident". The incident made to a crappy ending to an ok nite. So, it was some excitement that we kinda needed, but did not ask for.

Saturday was my extended family on my Mom's side xmas. Went out for dinner, presents were exchanged, and I have nice new sweaters.

I also had to search for a gift for a friend of the family. It is a remote control Hummer that can seat 2 13.5" figurines with horn, lights and doors that open. This thing is HUGE. Well 3 Wal-marts and 5 phonecalls later, I got one. Yellow too. So this kid will be happy on xmas.

Buddies on Sat nite. It was fun, nice to see lots of old friends out that nite. It has been forever and a day before I had seen them.

 

December 12, 2003

Well it has a been a long time since I have updated this. The files were corrupt and I was too lazy did not have enough time to fix it. But I spent 5 minutes today and did. So I guess I owe to someone out there to update this thing.

Lori, miss ya, I will call ya next I am in HAMILTON to party with ya, as long as you bring the lil cutie with ya. ;)

Things have been hectic at work, and just got more hectic, as the company decided to sell our store to a franchisee, great guy, but just one more thing to worry about close to Christmas time. And no I have not started my shopping yet, so don't ask.

I did purchase myself a new laptop, woo hoo. I like it so :P to all you that don't.

Well that is it for now, off to work I go. Updates will be more frequent now, and you should see some more pics soon, as I have a digital cam now and do not need to have friends scan my pics.

Peace out

 

 

June 27-29

Well it hard to put this weekend into words. First off, I starting to realize that it cannot be PRIDE without some level of Drama. You get that many queers together and something is bound to happen. But we got the Drama sorted out on Saturday I believe, so it made for a better weekend.

Met TONS of new people from all over North America, it was great. Will have pics of the weekend up soon on the site, have to get them back and then scanned. I so need to buy a digicam.

Friday you could find us at Buddies for their usual FRIDAY PRIDE NITE party. Both sides were open, although it was not at capacity, still a lot of fun. Met Q-True and partied there with him and his future roomy, that was a GREAT time. Saw him now and then for the rest of the pride weekend.

Did the streetwalking thing the rest of the weekend. Was on a rooftop for the parade, that was the best viewpoint. Like I said, not enough words to describe it.

We were at the days in, with some other VERY HOT guests I might add, on the 15th floor especially. Shane from Ingersol was another CUTE nice guy I met on the last nite out front the hotel.

Keep your eye out for the pics.

 

 

Thursday June 26, 2003

Pre-Pride kickoff. Something we have not done in 100 gay relationships. Happy, Casper, Subby, Skater, and myself met up for a martini at Babylon. It was great to just sit there and shoot the shit on old times. Maybe that is a sign we are aging? But hey, it was a great time.

After Babylon, we went to Crews for Kareoke. Just one word. FUN.

 

 

Saturday May 24, 2003

Woohoo TiberiusX is xx years old. Went to his house party and had a great BBQ, my compliments to the chef. And no Mad Cow either.

Went to Buddies afterwards. Can you believe that someone tried to pay the doorman $70 to let 5 ppl in without waiting in line. I mean $70?? PULEASE All you have to do is kiss him and slip a BigMac.

 

 

Saturday May 10, 2003

Well it was my weekend off and ended up having to cover for someone for that no showed for work. So I was awake for most of the weekend. Working and partying.

Was at Embassy again on Saturday nite. I have been going there a lot lately cause Gord at Buddies has not been playing a lot of my requests, and well Embassy does.

I think it was breeder nite at Embassy this nite though. I had a breeder couple who were going at it so badly they needed a room spill some beer on me... ARGH >:|

 

 

Saturday May 3, 2003

Casper's party was held at the Embassy this year. Casper as like Xiek and some others are getting fed up with the non-compliance on the request line at Buddies.

It was an awesome nite. Gypsy, Randy80, Subby, Happy, Mel, Casper and his boytoy were all there to celebrate.

Embassy is starting to look like a major destination point again. I guess it is because there are different faces there. Very nice ppl out there, and lots of lesbians which is kewl too.

Lori and Phil are 2 of them. Lori the hag and Phil the little cutie. We had a good convo on the balcony and that is the best part of going out... meeting people. Not hooking up for sex, not getting head in the bathroom. For me it is meeting people, making new friends and building a new friendship out of it.

I hope to see you 2 there more often, come up and say HI.

 

 

Saturday April 26, 2003

Xiek's return to Embassy. Tonight was my first night back to the Embassy in about 2 or 3 month's at least. And what better to go back than with new ppl that have never been. Reade and Gypsy, the regulars were there too with us, Casper and Randy80. Everyone up to their normal usual behaviour. With Casper thinking that guys were ppl that they turned out not to be, and me thinking my ex girlfriend was there. She looked like her, talked like her, acted butch like her. Wouldn't that be classic if Xiek's ex turned out to be a DYKE.

It was great to be the gang and tear each other up sarcastically like we do. Reade was a newcomer to both to Embassy and to the gang. But he fit right in after about 1 hr.

 

 

Saturday April 12, 2003

And just where do you think that I went on the day before my birthday? You guessed it, the village, We went to Buddies to get our tickets and then to see who was at Buddies. Bradford was there, someone whom I have not seen in a long time and he had a friend with him. A CUTE friend at that.

Spent some time at Woody's socializing, having some fun times being bitches. I got my patty whacks, all xx of them. It was kinda fun. And I got a date out of it.

Buddies was ok, not sure how often I will go, Gord was not playing some requests of ours or our b-day dedications that we requested. It is changin, I will see how much and what direction it is changing, to see of I like it. Maybe more road trips to Embassy are in order.... or dare I say it, a str8 club somewhere....

I also realized that I will have to work 7 days next week to get caught up from my Holidays and to accommodate the big tour. meh

 

 

Friday April 11, 2003

Yes, tonite was the nite! The 2nd Annual XSR80BBBES. About 19-21 ppl showed up, another great turn out, for all you that didn't attend, you missed out on a wicked awesome time. Many litres of liqor were consumed. Not just by me either, lots of ppl shared.

Xiek got a call from work and had to go crawl through the roof to open the office door because his employees destroyed the lock. Even with the key, you could not open the door. Picture DRUNK Xiek, crawling through the roof and trying not to fall. It was not without injury, got some scrapes on my legs doing it.

Chris had some of his friends over, breeders. They were a little overwhelmed at what they saw. They were not used to seeing gays.... let alone a house full of them. One of his friends caught the eye of a couple of us. But we scared them off. I am not sure if they will ever visit Chris again. Sorry Chris.

The ritualistic cake on Xiek event was a huge hit this year. Xiek tried to contain it by getting smaller cakes. It helped, but that did not stop Subby from making as much as mess as possible. Most of the icing came out.

We will have to wait for the photos to come back, Gypsy had Xiek's camera most of the nite, so Xiek might actually be in some of the pics. Xiek just needs to find a scanner now, his don't work.

 

 

Wednesday April 9, 2003

Apparently if you want to go cruise and get picked up, go to Chapters in Barrie. I wasn't in there 10 mins and I had one all over me. If you like bold, and older, then you go for it. But be careful, if you are from Toronto, you MUST be snotty. Well apparently because I was not interested and really into reading my magazine, I am snotty.

Well after the school teacher left, my friend showed up and we had coffee there in Starbucks. Barrie Starbucks closes before chapters does, I found that odd.

We ended up coffee shop hopping... From Starbucks, to Williams, to Timmy's, we closed them all cept for Tim's of course, since they do not close.

But all in a good day, a fun time, and I got a new rim for my car, that was the only damage done by the spinout.

 

 

Friday April 4, 2003

Notorious CHO, yep, that is where I was this evening. It was not the best weekend of my life. I had food poisoning on FRI nite just before the show, I almost did not make it the performance, but not much can keep me away from CHO. She is after all one of the biggest fag hags on the planet.

Isn't it funny, that when you turn white, almost pass out and stumble that people immediately assume that you OD on some sort of drug.... That is what someone asked me at Zelda's in the bathroom... Turns out FOOD POISON.

We made it the show, Casper, Gypsy, Jeffy11 and I, had a blast. Went to a friends house afterwards. It was full of str8 H.S. students, my that was an experience.

Next question, how many donuts can you do on the QEW going 100km/hr and not hit any other cars and end up facing the wrong way on the snowbank?

Answer about 2.5 is my record.

Meh, what can you do, no major damage to the car, a little dent on the rocker panel. No one was injured, just a lil shook up.

 

 

Saturday March 15, 2003

Well, my brother turned 20 today, and I worked things out with an old friend. We got plastered last night at Buddies and worked things out. Liqor does wonders for that I guess. There were lots of hotties last nite there, but I think it was couples night, because all of them already had bf's. The teases.

We are now in the prep phase of the 2nd Annual Xiek and Subby Birthday Bash Bonanza Extraordinaire Spectacular. More details to follow.

Thursday March 13, 2003

Went to the HOP tonite at 5ive, damn those of age drinkers look younger and younger all the time. Getting so you have to card someone before you pick them up to make sure they are legal. Even in a bar. How do you explain that one to the cops?

I picked him up in a bar, and I carded him, he had a good fake ID? Do you think they would buy that?

Had some car troubles and yes I spent 1 hour on my back on Jarvis/Maitland. I never thought I would say that....

Got the problem temporarily fixed, enough so it was drivable, and now it really does sound like a lil' German tank.

 

Saturday January 18, 2003

Well it has been a long time since an update appeared here yes. Xiek has been really busy and swayed in his interests. I must apologize to all of you.

And after last night, to my friend Warbuttons. I owe you more than a drink I think after what you had to endure.

New Years was fun, but as usual I had to work NYE and NYD, so I was awake for 33 hours, only about 4 of that was time that I was not working or partying at Buddies or a friends apt. downtown.

So yes you will be glad to know that Xiek is STILL ALIVE, and getting back on track with his updates. That is of course he finds a BF to take of ALL of his sparingly spare time. ;)

 

 

Saturday November 2nd, 2002

Well I am off the weekend and decided to go to Embassy with my brother and his GF. It was a blast. We had to leave a lil early... No big deal, I got my dancing in for the week, I am good to go for a little while longer. Met a lot of people there that I have not seen in a long time, so that was nice. Saw some people that I knew from TO, and of course, Casper was there.

It was the annual Convention at work today. What a blast. Over 600 people from all over Ontario, one has to like those odds. With a full day of seminars and workshops, could not wait till the bar opened at 630pm sharp. They went a lil different this year, hired a band that did some great covers, sounded just like them. I was impressed... They also had a DJ for the breaks and other songs that they could not do. One problem, the DJ had 90% of his collection, R&B & HIP HOP, not my 1st choice for music.... Still a good time, this year was also not that much of a party year. We invited about 30 ppl up the room to party afterwards, they were all in bed before 2am. Geez, the X-Mas party better be better than that for partying, and I am accepting application for my date for the party.

Well I went to the village last nite for the first time in approx. 8 weeks. I have just not had time to get downtown. I have been either working late and then early the next day, or taking the day and sleeping. Contrary to other reasons why I have not been DT. I put my social life on hold for work. Maybe not the best thing, but it was the less stressful thing to do at the time. I still reply to e-mails, when my computer is behaving that is. I need to reformat and reload everything.... It has been awhile since I did this. Now that you are bored to hell. I am on my way out, have to work tonite.


 

Tuesday July 30th, 2002
Yes it has been awhile since this was updated. So lets cover a couple of topics in this update. PRIDE in Toronto was fun and DAMN HOT. It would have been better if the parade would have been on the Saturday, maybe there would have been less heat stroke sufferers. The weekend was spent at Sk8R's house for me. That was our base of operations. The best part is that it was close to village and had A/C. Xiek marched in the parade this year, although it was as a marshal (got tricked into that). I still had fun, and the hat was ok I spose. Peel Pride had a good turnout at the parade this year and even though there was troubles getting the vehicle, it was good for a first time with an actual float. Next year will be different. BIGGER AND BETTER.
After Pride I was back at work for a bit and then I was off to Halifax on business. THe company sent me out to do some computer training. Although I was there on business, how could I not indulge in some of the pleasures of the East Coast. Halifax has 3 gay bars. 1 Leather, 1 Gay, and 1 that is mixed more str8 on FRI and gayer on SAT. I spent most of my time at NRG. I knew some of the employees there from work, so that is the main reason. With a sexy bartending staff, and bus boys that do drag, it is a fun place. I think almost every employee of the bar did drag regularly? Pre-requsite to get a job there?
It was real easy to meet people there. I met one person and it cascaded from there. 7 of them had the same name as me, all gay and 2 of them were dating. I lucked out because the last weekend that I was there, was Halifax PRIDE. Xiek got to celebrate 2 PRIDES this year. Halifax pride was better than I had expected and bigger than the rumors had said it would be. It was fun to walk the streets of Halifax. A lot of the spectators were repeat spectators as the parade wound down the town to the dock. As the parade wound down, spectators would walk down the street to watch it again.
After the parade went on the boat cruise that was sponsored by NRG. Too bad it was soo F*$&ing cold that day. It was raining in the morning and overcast for the cruise, it was COLD ON THE WATER. Still a fun time, and a good drag show too.
As we were walking back to the bar for a FREE BBQ, some old man stopped me and asked "Excuse me, what was that parade for", "Why it was GAY PRIDE". "That damn thing held me up for 45 minutes."


 

Saturday June 22nd, 2002
So TALYOR DANE in concert. WOW, it was different. All these ppl went to see her and like no one looked like they were enjoying the show. They were ALL either REAL OLD, GAY or BOTH. Except for the group of us that were there. We were bopping along, singing, dancing in our chairs.
Subby was scream out TAYLORS name the whole time.
Afterwards was fun too. We all kind of went our separate ways. So I just found a SLOT and sat in front of it. I accidentally picked the $1 slots. Good thing though, cause I am up $100.
I saw some guy win $11 000 on "Let it Ride" That was interesting to watch.

This is it, the night of nights, no more rehearsing or nursing apart, we know every part by heart.
Xiek & Subby's Birthday Bash Bonanza Extraordinaire Spectacular happened tonite. Check the special page for pics.   B-Day Bonanza
It was a fun time had by all and Xiek and Subby were impressed with the turnout. It is not often that that many fags WANT to go to Mississauga.
Xiek's neighbors never even complained once about the noise. It was a mixed party, breeders and queers. Some of the breeders felt a little odd.
With CuTeN putting cake all over Xiek & Subby's face, we looked like something out of Braveheart. Then Subby decided that the cake would look better on the wall and carpet.Drunken Fags, what to do with them.
And with a certain someone mooning everyone. WHAT A NITE.
Look forward to the Xiek & Subby Summer Bash Bonanza Extraordinaire Spectactular.

Case Closed ?
It was a story with an intriguing set of elements. Romance, religion, morality, sexuality…and now, at least from the perspective of a jaded teen and his many supporters, you can add tragedy.

A last ditch-appeal from Oshawa’s Marc Hall to take his gay boyfriend to the school prom was abruptly dashed on Monday night. Hall was given ten minutes to make his case before the Durham Catholic Board, but despite widespread public support, he wasn't able to topple the age-old dogma of the Catholic Church.

It took less than a few minutes for the Board to render its decision. In a pre-written statement, Board Chair Mary Ann Martin said that allowing Hall to go to the prom with his date would be effectively endorsing or teaching that homosexuality was consistent with the religious beliefs of the Catholic Church.

“I say to you, you cannot bring your same-sex partner to the prom, we are not rejecting you as a person,” Martin said. “We accept you, but we cannot condone or allow homosexual behaviour at our school function.”

“I was kind of surprised," said a teary-eyed Hall. "…they obviously don't understand.”

The heartbroken teen hasn't given up however, he's planning to take legal action.

Ventured to the booming Metropolis of Hamilton tonite. The crew and I went to a friends to pre-drink and WOW what a nice place. PENTHOUSE, and a nice guy too.
Well the drive there was ok. The one way streets took some getting used to though. Not used to EVERY street being one-way. We managed to get there and get Xiek parked in a tight little spot, you gotta love VW's.
They could have more than 1 person working the Coat Check/admin fee line, that would help to expedite the patrons faster. They should try the shared service, maybe they could beat my 75 cust/hr. I would be more than willing to give them some tips.
Apart from the quality of the music, I think my ears almost bled, they are still ringing almost 24hrs later. The club was nice, had a great mix of music and the crowd was really good looking too. Saw some familiar faces that were there. Tofer tried to hide on us, but we found him. Also saw a friend that works for the company in St. Kitts, was nice to see him again. Y'all want some cookies?
I am not sure that Subby and I could have made bigger asses of ourselve, well not true, we could have, but I was content with the amount that we did.
Embassy is on my list of clubs that would get a follow up visit from Xiek.
Now just one thing left to decide......
Package A
Package B
Package C
Which one to choose.... mmmmmm This may take some time to decide.


 

Friday February 22nd, 2002
Yes I am still alive, I have not fallen off of the face of the earth. Just been really busy lately. Went to VEGAS, no I am not a millionaire. IF I was that would for sure be here.

Thought that I should do a double entry since DAVE THOMAS, founder of Wendy's is dead. He died as the result of a form of a cancer that he had for the past 10 years.
Moving on, we went to Tango's to sing Karoke last nite. Has some fun, Chris Brown and I sang 2 songs, "I'm just a girl" & "I want you". We would like to apologize for the horror that the patrons had to go through last nite.
I guess we were a good duet though as someone that I was Chris Browns husband? Please I have better taste than that.....  :)
Met 2 kewl ppl that are worthy of mention, Steve and Cameron, friends of Berry Vicious.

Here is something to ponder. Do you think that that lady from Hamilton is just in enforcing the by-law that makes street sports illegal? She is requesting that the police enforce the by-law which says that sports played on the streets are illegal.
The judge threw the charges out of court stating that the day in question there was no proof that the kids were actually in the street.
If you want my opinion, this is a bitter old woman that does not know what it means to be a child growing up in Canada and street hockey and football is a pastime. Granted, maybe, just maybe the kids did some damage to her garden, this is still a very grey area. BUT if they did, why ask them to help clean up the damage/mess before calling the police. Diversity is what makes our country strong, but at the sametime, at times like this, it sometimes hurts our national pastimes/traditions.
Some things should just be left alone, that is just my opinion, for whatever it is worth.

HAPPY NEW YEAR. I had to work today, ugh. Made it through about 32 hours awake. and not really resting for more than 1 hr of that. But like my previous post says, IT WAS WORTH IT.
I hope that all you had a HAPPY NEW YEAR and that you have an even better 2002. I plan to anyways.

New Years Eve baby! This is going to be another not so fun New Years. Gots to work 2p-10p tonite and 7a-3p tomorrow. Someone has to I guess, why not me?
Went to Buddies to meet my friends. Got there at 11:30pm and a LONG LINE with sold out tickets, just goes to show it is WHO you know. Managed to get in and get coat checked by 11:45pm. Was in the drink line for Midnight though. Still near some friends. The fact that I by-passed Astounded in line and did not even know it was funny. Sorry bud but when you work till 11pm and the tickets are SOLD OUT, you have to make due.
HAD A BLAST.  Do not think that I could have had much more fun partying with anyone other than Astounded, his Sis, Toleo, Sid, Tofer, Keisha, Tofer Bro, Jami, Jami boy, Casper, HGL, Subby, NorthTorontoBoy, Randy80. There may be one or two more, will know more when I get the pics back.


 

Monday December 17th, 2001
Tonite is the company X-Mas party. Cannot wait. This year I am going all out, I am bringing a date, not just any date either, my BF. Yes that is right, I am currently NOT single. I am expecting some mixed feelings from other party goers, but nothing that would not be expected from any other place other than Church St.
Well the party was awesome and my date said that he like it, (other than the music, it had lyrics). Roast beef buffet dinner, with an open bar all nite long, the only down side, no Tequila at all allowed. The waitress said this was because last year a group of ppl rang up a $1,000.00 bill that the place was not supposed to serve us so we did not pay for it. I think that group was me and my friends, cause we had a lot of shots last year, A LOT.
I was dancing most of the nite and was given lots of stuff by the DJ. A sombrero, a Lai, a whitsle and some flamy tinsel thing. We met Jessica and her BF Jordan this time around. Some new ppl to party with.
The whole nite we got 2 dirty looks, and one long, long look of not disgust, but something, and one surprise when Eric told Baxter who the guy beside was.
Hope eveyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I have yet to start my shopping and have no idea where I will be on New Years, as I work 2pm - 10pm that nite.


 

Saturday December 1st, 2001
This going to be an all-in-one news update. I am feeling to lazy to figure out what happened and when.
It was a pretty good week for social activity. Out on Tuesday and met a boy from Sarnia at Crews. We went to watch Karoke. ZELL had an encounter with a really really nasty old dirty man... We almost had to open a can of whoop-ass on him. He eventually left. THANK GOD. It felt like we were at the BARN. Sarnia boy was nice and fun to party with.
Happy, Glendon, Zell and I had a good time anyways. The Karoke was not that bad. And we met a some really kewl Dykes too.
Thursday was a fun nite at the Barn with JonE, Tiberius, Glendon, and honestly I forget who else was there. Oh ya, Thumper, TeaSea, Bri4Guy, and a few others. Although I do not think Tiberius remembers much of what went on...
Friday, well another shitty nite at work. 16hrs at work all doing paperwork is NOT fun at all. I hope the rest of the stores made food. You included HEATH. So after sleeping all day and getting woken up by the ever so sexy Steviee, so it was not so bad as it seemed. I got ready to go out and party at my usual Saturday nite destination.
Skeeter graced us with his presence briefly. He left quite quickly. I think I saw Triple555 there too.
Saw an old friend there and got caught up on the past few weeks.
I can't wait for the weekend and all the parties that are going on in December. Although, I will prolly not be able to go to most of them cause of my schedule, but we will see what we can do.


 

Saturday November 24th, 2001
Pre-Party at CuTeN's house to help celelbrate his roomates B-Day party. Skeeter, Jamiroquai, Paulicious, Revenant, TOLeo, Happy-Get-Lucky, Subby, GAPKid were there. Fun times by all.
We proceeded to Woody's after we knew the Carbaret shows would be done at midnight. There was a line but we managed to get through it quickly. Once inside there were more if us. Tiberius, Mr. Pita, the every so sexy SID Vicious, Astounded, StevieGuy, Tekhouseboi, Chris Brown, Bradford, Randy80, Casper and KidBjork. A lot of us let's just say that...
It was real fucking hot in there tonite though... I guess they did not have the ability to turn on A/C since it was winter time... We were all sweating like pigs...
At close the crowd disipated and we went some of our separate ways.
Tiberius, Casper, TOLeo, StevieGuy and myself went to FRAN's for a bite to eat. And it was a good thing that we did. A post B-Day party for Brenda came in and we sang Happy Birthday to her with her friends. Jasmine, the leader of the outing had a brother, Vladymir, and a friend Rob. They were team players and Rob looked like a GAP, or CLUB MONACO Model... Mouth watering good. We were invited back to party with them at Brenda's place, but for stupid reason did not go.. Someone please slap me when they see me next time.
Rob, I hope to see you at the Bar's, maybe I will not be so shy next time.


 

Friday November 23rd, 2001
Another nite at Woody's with the gang. Cept tonite, we all went different ways. CuTeN, KidBjork, GAPKid and Subby all went to Rama. Which was an adventure in itself from what I heard, you will have to read the Subbyland News and read it for yourself. He can explain the incident better with the Police.
We ended up going to the Barn and forgetting that is was the BIG LEATHER weekend, the line was HUGE.
After a couple of mins in line we decided NOT to wait. Lil J and I said our goodbyes to Casper, Darynn, and their 2 new friends, cannot member their names for the life of me...
Lil J and I left with TOLeo, he had to go home so the two of went to Taluah's (Buddies). Totally different crowd on Friday than Saturday.
It was still fun.


 

Thursday November 22nd, 2001
The plan was for Embassy tonite, but that fell through when EVERYONE was going to be at Woody's and somewhere DT after that.
It was the usual crowd out this nite. TOO Many to list.... It was fun, ended up at the Barn and can you believe that the 3rd floor is closed for rennovation? I think they are getting rid of the sway, that sux, that was the fun part of the 3rd floor.


 

Wednesday November 21st, 2001
This is a backshadow post. It happened on Thursday, November 15th.
What a nite, WOW, like 20-30 .comers at Woody's all at once all having fun... Subby especially and his damn Simpson's impressions, and how could I forget his Cleo too. I will try to list the attendees, if you were there an I forgot you, then let me know...
GlendonKYD, Rabbit72 & his BF, Subby, CuTeN, KIDBjork, Mikey_Dude20, Mystic20, Mr. Pita, SID_Vicios, TOFER, Tiberius, Skeeter21,  ElectroPhunk, Randy80, J<dot>Bee, knowah, driftwood, Eastern_Boi. Sinkerking just happened to be there from out of town that was kind of a chance meeting. That is all the .comers that were there and then there were some offliners, LIl J, and Myron.
And yes, we did go to the barn afterwards, I got dragged there kicking and screaming. I got to see Richard my favorite bouncer again... I miss him...


 

Saturday November 17th, 2001
Pre-Drinking at TOLeo's again... I missed that and this time there was company. Randy80, Alphawolf and his BF. And they actually came to Buddies with us.
It is great to be back! Spent the nite at Buddies last nite and is it me or do the Cabaret shows get worse every week? The cowboy one was ok, BUT, the other one. And what a time to come back, the group of us that were was amazing just like Thursday. Too many to list. But all the important ones anyways.
It was great seeing Astounded and groping each other like we usually do... ;)
Oh, BTW, did I mention that I am on HOLIDAY this week and cannot wait to finally recover and get to 100%.


 

Wednesday November 14th, 2001
UGH, been off work with Pneumonia and Broncitic since the 5th. The new drugs seem to be working and may be back to light duties tomorrow. We will see. All this typing getting caught up is exhausting. Time to rest.


 

Wednesday October 31st, 2001
Month End nite, which means 12 hours counting both stores inventories and finishing up the books. Well that is the usual procedure, but not it would seem for this month end. It seems that someone decided that he did not want to live and tried to get T-Boned by running a red light on front of our main store. He did not get hit and hit the telephone pole in front of the store and knocked out power. Did I mention that the pole fell toward the GAS STATION next store. Fire, Police, Ambulane, Hydro workers were all there pretty quick. The guy was in his vehicle for a long time until they could ensure that the power was cut and safe to touch his car that was entangled in wires. I have heard reports that he died in Hospital, but nothing confirmed.
The power was out from about 21:30 on the 31st and came online at 10:17 on the 1st. This meant one thing, yes MANUAL INVENTORY with a flashlight for me. Ofcourse when the power came back online, the computer and tills were not working very well either, why would they, Murphy's Law right?
Well I finally got the inventory entered and by then I had to leave, it was 15:00 at the time. I had been there for 20 hours and had been feeling sick recently, I was not even sure I could make it home.
But I did.


 

Saturday October 27th, 2001
Walking down Church St. on Hallowe'en is an experience let me tell you. This was my first time and it was quite entertaining. I recommend that you do it if you have a chance.
Lil J and I went down to meet GlendonKyd. We ended up meeting somewhere on Church, we walked up and down for a bit and looked at all the costumes. The Diesel Dykes were hilarious.
Starting to feel the cold a bit, we decided to make our way to Buddies. On the way we saw an overentusiastic Tree Hugger that looked a lot like Michelle from American PIe. With a closer look it turned out to be Astounded!! It reminded me of this one time at band camp.
We all entered together and found about 65% costume participation inside. GREAT, I love Hallowe'en. I would be giving out Candy on the 31st if I did not have to work all nite every month end.
Buddies had the chamber open, we decided to go there to dance. In there we met Ryan, Toby and Ryan. Buddies regulars, no surprise. They were not dressed up either.
Every time I went to the bathroom to check on my makeup, I kept on running into the silver surfer from X-Men. It was weird. I will post photos here as soon as I get them scanned, I am trying to get a scanner myself, but that is not going to plan as I would like.


 

Tuesday October 23rd, 2001
Well, TOLeo & Luckee7 called me today from Ft. Lauderdale FLA. Man, those bitches are having fun, sorta. It has rained for the first three days and TOLeo pinched a nerve so he cannot turn his head side to side. I hope for their sake that 1. the weather shapes up and 2. TOLeo's neck is better, nothing like being in MIAMI and not being able to move your neck.....
Tomorrow I speak at an Anti-Homophobia workshop, dunno how that is going to go, but we will see.
Not much else has happened other than I am still a little sick and HOPE I feel better before the weekend, as this is my weekend off this month and I want to have fun DT all dressed up.


 

Thursday October 18th, 2001
Tonite was not as interesting as last nite. No bar fights although not for lacking of being in a bar, just was in a different type of bar than Wednesday nite. Tonite we (GlendonKyd) and I went for Tazo. That then became some pool at Pegasus cause Astounded was supposed to be there. Luckee7 gave me a call and he stopped by too, so the 4 of us were shooting the shit, playing pool and having fun.
I was winning until Luckee7 showed up, and he was not that lucky for me...
Luckee talked us into going to Woody's for a bit. We stopped in there and met up with Tiberius & co. Astounded got dragged on stage for the "Best Chest" by Matieu from U8TV and his friend. Astounded made the final 4, and should have won, but did not make the final 2 due a bias on the judges part. The applause for him was much louder than the other 2. Eh, C'est La Vie.
After that we left and I drove the boys home. On the way to the car though something happened that gave me flashbacks of horror. Remember that Grey car from September 26th, well we saw it again tonite as we were walking to my car. It was along Maitland. He was checking us out again. I almost dropped into the fetal posistion, it was a bad memory.
Glendon and got a little hungary after dropping Astounded off, so we went to where else to eat, McDonald's. MMMMMMM. I am addicted.
Well I must get going now, as I have to drive DT at 11am to pick up Toleo and Luckee7 as the bastards are in Miami for 9 days. I am jealous.


 

Wednesday October 17th, 2001
Tonight just goes to prove that you never what is going to happen and where. I went out with some str8 friends tonite. Bates, Ronny, and Blo. Our original plans were Kingdom in Burlington, someone said it was hip on Wednesday's. Well they were closed. So off to Toronto we headed.
We get DT at about 12:15, search around for a good str8 bar, we see this lineup outside this bar so we figure, why not? We park our car, walk over stand outside for 20 mins watching the honey's inside (both sexes). My friends were drooling over the girl in front of us in line. I had my sights elsewhere. Oh, BTW, the place was called Crocodile Rock on Adelaide.
So we pay our $5 cover and see the best sign we could see. "ALL DRINKS $2.75", ALLELUIA!! Well the place says it was rated for 390 ppl, but it was not at capacity and we were shoulder to shoulder, everywhere we walked.
We walk past this guy that looks familiar to me, and low and behold, it is our Brinks guy. He comes in and picks up our $$ from the safe and delivers coin, that was funny. Turns out it was his first time there too.
We chill for a bit, walk around and end up on the upstairs dancefloor (well, section). So we are dancing up there and this guy keeps bumping my friend, Ronny. Then he asked me if I wanted to fight him? I said no. He looked at his friend, gave him a hand signal, and bang, from behind I was getting attacked. This guy jumped on me and whaled me in the back of the neck and left shoulder. Ronny and Bates jumped in to help, thank god for good friends. Blo was trying to hold one guy down, but was having difficulty maintaing his grip in the floor with his shoes, all the beer that did not fall on me, was now on the floor.
Ronny, pins one down and is whaling him and I am trying to grab the other one and drag him away. Bates is getting held back by 2 women who would not let him fight. He was not impressed.
12 bouncers are there in like less than 2 mins. I was impressed with their crowd navigation skills, I have seen faster, but, they got there.
Once there, 2 of them grab Ronny, and the rest go for the other two troublemakers. They were trying to through Ronny, out but some witnesses said "no", he was not that involved, he was self-defense, so to those ppl, "Thank-YOu"
One of the bouncers grabbed me and was what looked like he was trying to do was get me out too. But I asked him what and he wanted INFO from me, that is all.
So we got to stay and they had to go, :)
So that was my 1st bar fight, not bad since it has been what seems like forever going OUT.
We hung around for a little while longer and then flexed on out. On our way out, the 2 guys were standing their trying to get their glasses back that Ronny knocked off, awwwww muffin, too bad.  :(
We got out, went to the car and then was macked by these 3 girls while we were eating our vendor dogs. It was funny.
So other than some bruises, it was a REAL FUN NIGHT, a must do again in the future.

Met the usual SEXY gang at Woody's. We stayed there for a bit and then kinda broke off into 2 groups. One of them going to BARN, and the other, the one I was in, going to PRYZM. It was ok, a lot of really cute shirtless boiz on drugs. Lots to look at, but nothing I would touch without consideration first. Granted not ALL of them were on drugs, but I saw a fair amount of them.
From there it was to the Pizza place on Church/Alexander and met some guy from the east coast. Really nice but I think we scared him off. Then to a friends place to eat it and home from there. I was too sick to stay over. Would have kept them up all nite with my coughing... Would not have been nice of me....
And one last thing. I HATE ONE SIDED AFFECTION, I WISH BOIZ WOULD BE UP FRONT. ie. WE CAN FRIENDS AND LETS LEAVE IT AT THAT, NONE OF THIS FOOLING AROUND AND MINDGAMES SHIT. or I UNSURE, LETS EXPERIMENT AND HAVE FUN. That would work too. Anyone disagree?

Seminars ALL DAY, they were not that bad cause they were with friends and co-workers. Could not wait for dinner and Karma Club. Well I made an ass of myself as usual at the hypnotist show. I went on stage and was a Village Person, a chinese cop, Chip-n'-dale dancer, balerina, and some other stuff too. I won the trophy for "Best Hypnotic Subject"
Well, Fernandez, the hypnotist put a lasting impression on me that every time I saw this one guy Len, I would go up and hug him and say that I loved him.... All nite I was doing that...
Got to drinking some more, and more, and more, and more and well, you get the point. I drank a lot last nite, too much. Let's just leave it at that. I did get to sleep in a King Size bed alone cause my roomate disappeared somewhere, do not ask me where??
And at last I finally met m1k3y today, we had coffee. Still have not met Rabbit yet though.... I am wondering if that will ever happen....

WOO HOO. Pre party at the International Plaza hotel for our Wednesday convention. I brought the captain along with me and we became re-aquainted, it has been so long since him and I have bonded. Someone knocked on our door in our room so we peeked out and some cute thing told us to come and party in their room. So we did.
Ends up someone in the room, Cindy, knew me from last year and worked for a store in Hamilton. She knew a friend of mine that left ssauga and went there to work. We called her and she said that all of her friends had gone to bed so she came down in her pj's and we partied in their room.
Cathy was out of it, she did not even recognize me at first. When she did, she jumped all over me, it was nice to see an old friend.
There were a bunch of there from both teams, we all partied together. Leor, Adam, Mike, Cindy, Jason, Cathy, Yama, Craig, and myself. It was a really good time. Well at about 4am we went back to our room because they wanted to sleep.
The 5 drunken fools we were stayed up more and partied, play fighting and stuff. Have a bruise on my arm from shot for shot.
I got about 1 hr sleep that nite before having to sit through seminars ALL DAY.

OMG. What fun I had last nite. Met up with CuTeN, KidBjork and M. We met at Woody's, was there for a bit and then they took me to this place called The Resevoir Lounge. A str8 bar on Wellington. A swing club, music, not lifestyle (not that there is anything wrong with a lifestyle like that). I like Swing and Jazz so I had a blast. We ended up sitting next to Tim & Patty, a very nice couple that have been together for about a year according to Patty, Tim was not too sure. LOL. He was a str8 man, what str8 man knows that question?
We partied there for a bit and CuTeN and KidBjork left early. M and I had fun partying the rest of the nite with Patty and Tim. Telling jokes and getting to know them and then getting invited to their wedding which CuTeN apparently arranged and proposed last nite for Tim.
Well when the lights came on, M and I decided to walk back to the village instead of taking a cab, it was a nice night out. The walk was not as long as it seemed it would be.
A fun nite had by all who attended.
Good luck PATTY and TIMOTHY. I (we) hope you end up happy and die together. After a long marriage of course, and remember what I said about the tatoos after about 8 years of marriage.
Wednesday September 26th, 2001
Ok, it has been awhile since I have posted news. It has been hectic, with working and trying to go out and party. There is good news and bad news. Good news is my camera is not FUBAR'd, bad news is one roll of film IS FUBAR'd, which sucks cause there were some good pics there. But I did take some more with a different role the next week and they turned out quite good actually, I am proud of them. I am a little disappointed that the one of Superstar and the one of Astounded did not turn out. There are others too, but c'est la vie.
I had to work last Sunday morning, so I could not go out, I ended up staying home and had some bad TV dinner. I woke up and was puking my guts out for like an hour. I called in sick to work, but since it was BIG TOUR day, I was coersed into going in for a couple of hours. I felt like shit though.
I was supposed to go and meet some friends DT tonite for coffee and dinner, but they bailed on me. Good think Mom and Dad called, so I hung out with them while they were in the city for a friends fathers funeral today. That part kinda sucked, he was a nice man.
After that I headed DT and met my friend TOLeo and we went to Woody's (saw Chris23 on the way there) where we met up with JB, Tiberius, Happy Get Lucky, Matty and Lil' One. From there it was onto the Barn, where else. There were not as many hotties this week as there was last week for some reason. Oh ya, the bouncer upstairs on the 2nd floor. Just to let you guys know, he does not like being called princess, trust me ok.
There were a couple of cuties there, but were interersted in me. One even said I was a Backstreet/N'Sync wanna-be?? What the Fuck is up with that?
We saw JonE, Joe, Dragyn, Skeeter (he ignored us all nite) and ViciousBerryBubbleCake was there too, he said hi and gave me a hug.
Well that is it for now. I am tired and tired of going to bed alone.
And there was one more thing. I was followed to my car by some old nasty thing in his car thinking I was looking for a trick. I had to fake calling police and reporting his licence #. So be careful boys when you are out. Freaks are out there and they are real.


 

Saturday September 15th, 2001
After work I got a call from a friend Superstar, who convinced me to meet him at Woody's. Well I was reluctant because I had worked 11-7 and busted my ass all day, and was tired and had to work 9-5 on Sunday. But since he is a friend and really sexy, I said yes. I took my new roomate and her girlfriend along as well.
We went to Woody's and met up with Superstar and his friend. We stayed there for a bit and I found everyone there again and more. Nikko, Greg, Brian, CuTeN, Subby, Chris B, Casper Lil' J, & Mike. We had some fun there and then off to 5ive. I have not been to 5ive in a long time and it was a Saturday to boot.
On our way to 5ive, we broke out into song, well it was mostly Mike and Subby. But we all were singing while we turned onto St. Joseph St. 'I Will Survive' was the song of choice. It was hilarious. Mel and her girlfriend, did not join us inside, they went to a dyke bar, Tango's. They said they had fun there.
Once inside we met up with Stevieguy, Hitman, Jamiroquai, Tofer, Keisha, Tiberius, Bradford, AlanA1 and some others, cannot member all names. Too many new ppl at once.
You know the amount of fun you have at a club really does depend on who you are with. Cause I had a blast at 5ive this nite, and the last time I was at 5ive, it was not that fun.
Someone picked up tonite and got lucky, I will not mention any names as not to embarass that person.
The amount of pics that I got was good, we will see how they turn out, you will see them here soon on the pics page, maybe one embedded for effect in here.
And I did not get home until about 4:15am this morning and had to be at work for 8:30AM, ug, but I got there and was not as bitchy as I thought I would be today. I managed to work 9-9 and still make it home awake. I did sleep when I got home and had a Neo-Citron and a Tylenol: Cold and Flu nightime. Cause I had to start at 5am on Monday morn. FUN!!!


 

Friday September 14th, 2001
Holy Cow, Gay.com nite at Woody's or what? Romper Bomper Stomper Boo, tell me tell me tell me who? Who did I see that nite? I saw Astounded, Casper, Tofer & Co. (Marco, Andrew?, Derek?), Hitman, Happy, CuTeN, Subby, StevieGuy and then we met a foreigner, he was from Orillia, not Canada.
We had fun at Woody's and there will be a pic as soon as they are developed. We migrated to the Barn and spread out form there. Split up and had fun in our groups. CuTeN, thanx for the drinks, I owe you one or two or four.
While at the Barn we proceeded to have some shots of Tequila, mmmmmmmm, Tequila. I think Astounded got the drunkest out of all of us. I do not think that he even members how he got home. Of course we went to Fran's afterwards. Subby, Casper, StevieGuy and myself.
They sat us in the back of the diner, they know better now to put us back there. Casper was actually a little drunk (sorry) pretty DRUNK too. Him and Subby were up to their usual antics and embarrasment. I think I saw Owen-Craig there, but that is unconfirmed.
Xiek got home at like 5am and had to work at 1030am on Saturday. Xiek was a little bitchy at work that day.


 

Tuesday September 11th, 2001
Can you believe what happened at 8:45am this morning. The world is shocked. I am a little surprised that something like this did not happen sooner to tell you the truth.


 

Monday September 10th, 2001
I was on my way home from work at 2:30am, I suppose this should say Tuesday then, but I have not gone to bed and awoken, so that is the same day for me. I was about 10km from home when a cop pulled me over. I gave him my License and Registration like a good citizen. He asked where I was coming from, I said work on Jane st. He looked at me and walked back to his car. He returned quite quickly and asked me to do him a favor. Slow down. He said the arches helped save me, went back to his car and then drove off in a hurry. I think he had a more important call to attend to.  :)


 

Saturday September 8th, 2001
Where else would I go on Saturday, you guessed it Buddies, sorry Talua's Cabaret. We had a new member to our group this time. Melanie, my new lesbian roomate. It was her first week in Toronto and thought that I should take her out. She has been here before but not many times. She seemed to have a good time at Buddies. Casper, TOLeo, lil' Jay, Kristy, Judy were all there. We partied as usual and went to Frans, surprise. We ended up sitting at Elizabeths table again. Ugh. And we were next to 2 Drag Queen's that were fucking hilarious. The jokes flying were awesome. After Frans, we decided to walk Melanie up Church at 4am.
It was a lucky thing we did too cause we met more ppl. Matty19 was at Church/Wellesley getting some street meat. On the way to the car we met up Superstar and his friend Paul, they had nowhere to sleep. They were thinking of Cawthra Park, so Xiek being the nice guy that he is, offered them a ride to ssuaga and the use of his bed, they opted for the ride and took the pullout. :( But before we could leave, we had to walk up to Cawthra Park to get some liqor that they had stashed there earlier in the evening. As were walking there, we met Dragyn. This is the first time that I have met him. I believe he was on his way to FLY. Hope you had fun Dragyn.
This led us back to my car where we blasted Mulan Rouge Soundtrack and while track 10 was playing we were all singing it and pulled up beside a van with two big ugly str8 guys in it, the looks on their faces were priceless.
Well can I tell you that Superstar has an amazing body. Having him walk around in his boxers was great.
The rest is another story.......

DAMN.


 

Saturday September 1st, 2001
After working all nite and then sleeping all day. I pulled an all-niter and went out. Where else would I be on Saturday night. You guessed it, Buddies. Had some fun partying with Casper, Jason, StevieGuy, TOLeo, Jamiroquai & co., J<dot>Bee, and Jamie. While there I met just Shibby and Razor was around too. There were some cuties there tonite and the music wasn't all that bad. Gordon managed to play lots of songs that I had requested so it was all good. Although it was an interesting nite, with the topless Lesbians and seeing an actual penis while I was outside second hand smoking with Jamiroquai and his friends (who are really nice BTW). We will not mention whose penis I saw, they know who they are I am sure.
I do not have much more time to write this, as I am off to work now, damn these all niters.


 

Thursday August 30th, 2001
Well, Thursday. This was an interesting day. It was sexy Adam's B-day so we had to take him out. And we did. The only bad thing about the nite was going to Whiskey-a-Go-Go, yes a str8 strip bar. But he is a good friend so I made the sacrafice of sitting on perverts row for like 4 hours. Too much fish for me. We did spend like $300 on him and got him what he wanted for his b-day. And to top off the nite, there is nothing quite like watching a friend puke his guts out at the end of the nite. Kind of brings a tear to your eye eh?


 

Sunday August 26th, 2001
I had to go and check out IT, since for once I was not working at 4am on Monday morning it seemed like a good night to go. I made plans with Happy, Astounded, Tiberius and J.B. Happy and J.B. showed but the other never showed up. That is ok, I filled your spaces with Hitman and my other friend Stevie. I am not sure if I will make IT a regular stop. I felt a lot of attitude there. IT was too pushy shovy for me. I left IT just after 1am. I was going to go home but decided to make a stop by the Barn. Tradition I suppose. Stayed there for a bit and left at 2am. No one was really there.
So Sunday was not as eventful as the other 2 nights of my weekend off, but I still enjoyed the weekend as a package.


 

Saturday August 25th, 2001
The night started off with Casper & I going to TOLEO's place to pre-drink before going to Buddies. I had not expected a mini Gay.com party there. Stevieguy21, ChadChad, Happy, Hitman, Subby, Capser, TOLEO, Astounded, Razor25, Jamiroqua, Tofer, Keisha, Aidan02. I did recognize some others there but had never met them before. Saturday was another fun night. With TOLEO celebrating his 51st B-Day, how could we not have fun. Gordon, thanx a million for announcing it to the club. Yes, he DID fall of the stage again, he blames Happy, since he was trying to let him up on stage, I think it was the Rum & 7's that he was drinking.
BTW, the bartender at Buddies is excellent, you can tell this cause I do not need to say anything when I approach the bar. I just walk up and usually when I get there my Rum & Coke (for all you boyz who want to buy me a drink, now you know what I drink) is ready. I say that this is a good thing, because it is rare to find a bartender that is that good, ALL THE TIME.
It is too bad that TOLEO had to leave early. He was walking up from the washrooms and some girl decided to hurl as she was walking down the stairs, it hit his pant leg and shoes. After trying to wash it out in the bathroom, he still stunk like a cheap whore. So he left and they would not let him back in. I think it sounded somewhat like a victim statement to me. He just didn't know where the BLUE chips were.
After Buddies it was off to the usual FRAN's. Astounded, too bad you did not want to come with us. I really do think that the waiters there are getting fed up with is, John, we really do appreciate your service.
While at Fran's Subby was his usual self. Doing his Dame Edna impression a long with Barney Gumble, Moe, and of course, Cleo. So of course we were the loudest table in there, what is new.
From there it was off to the cars. Where when we were in the Parking Lot, Subby's car was trying to $#% XIEK. But my car has standards, it wanted nothing to do with his.


 

Friday August 24th, 2001
Well it was a nite of partying since I had the weekend off of work. It was off to Buddies to meet some friends for a drink. With Ryan getting outed by his boyfriends now EX-roomate. It was an interesting start to the night. While at Woody's I had heard that Subby, Casper, J.B., Tofer were out and about. Tiberius, thanx for the tip. So off to the Barn I went to see if I could find them. I got there and found them. While there I finally met BSB, although he was ignoring me at first I think. I still dunno on that one. I also had the pleasure of meeting with Astounded. So it was a good night.
On the way out of the Barn at about 3am, I was grabbed by a boy that I had never met before named Owen-Craig who has 3 houses around the city. Owen-Craig, I would have went to Fran's with you guys if I was not so tired. Next time you see me, I will make it up to you.
