Happy Mother's Day

"I think you're missing the silver lining here. When you're old and in diapers, a gay son will know how to keep you away from chiffon and backlighting." ---Karen Walker

Kissing

I LOVE kissing.

For me, the kiss isn’t just a warm-up for the big event, it’s an essential part of making love.

Kissing is one of the most intimate expressions of desire, tenderness, connecting, and sharing two men can experience. It’s perfect for the beginning, middle and end of a relationship.

Have you ever been on a date with a guy, where there’s that electricity in the air? The night has been flawless. He’s funny, sexy, sweet, totally into you and everything is clicking. Then at the crucial time, he drops that teeny tiny bit of information that….”I’m not a kisser. Hope that’s not a problem”.

Crash and burn.

Okay, that’s not really the norm, but those guys are out there.--I’ve crossed paths with one or two of them over the years and you probably have too.

Kissing was always non negotiable for me, and I’m not talking about a peck on the cheek or one of those insane ‘dry kisses‘ either. When I’m in the mood for a kiss, it‘s a main event sport. I want a kiss so intensely powerful, so full of emotion it knocks you off your feet.

I want a tongues dueling, teeth clicking, stubble scraping kiss, so powerful you share the other’s breath as you melt away.

A kiss where everything, and every one, just disappears

THAT’S the kind of kiss I’m talking about.

It's An Andy Gibb Kinda Day

Ever get a song stuck in your head?   For me today, it was "Shadow Dancing" by Andy Gibb.

I don't know where it came from, but it popped in my head and I haven't been able to get rid of it.

I had a huge crush on Andy back in the day.   Of course I was only about 10 when he was popular, but that still makes me ancient.   When I was in sixth grade I begged for his record after seeing him on tv and my dad said "Absolutely not".   Maybe it was the long golden hair....the flowing shirts or the tight polyester pants.......I guess I'll never know his objection to the youngest Gibb brother.  

Luckily for me, my mom did the shopping and she made sure I got it.   I listened to the whole LP over and over and over, and I still have it!

When I was reading some blogs recently, I ran across a posting on 'just a jeep guy' I think , (it was A Rad Homo) about Olivia Newton John on Glee and since I was in love with her too....maybe that's why Andy popped in my head.  

I had such a grush (that's 'g'ay / c'rush') on Andy and it's funny to remember all those innocent little gay boy day dreams I had while singing along to his record.  

Today I'm not so little or innocent, but I just added "Shadow Dancing" to my iPod because for me, it's an Andy Gibb Kinda Day!

No Such Thing As A Stupid Question?

So I'm giving my psycho-sister a ride the other day, and things seem to be going pretty well.   I'm in a good mood, she's in a good mood....sun is shining and for once in a very long time I'm not repulsed at the thought of spending (any) amount of time with her in a confined space.

Then, she opened her mouth.

"I need to ask you a question" she stammerd.

"Uhm, okay"

"Is that ring a sign to other men that you're gay?"

"What?" I asked.

"Do all gay men wear those kinds of rings to meet other men?" she clarified.  "Cody, (her son, my nephew) has a friend who wears a ring exactly like that and we think he might be gay"

I looked down at my hand.  It was a regular ring.  Just a stainless steel ring.  Not big and chunky, no embossed rainbow flag or male symbols intertwined....just a plain freaking ring.  Yet suddenly, to this twit who has known me all her life, I am no longer a guy who has a job, pays his bills ....I am reduced to a club-going, on the prowl for sex homosexual, using covert signals to send my intentions and broadcast the fact I like dick.

If I seem cruel by my reaction to her question....trust me, I'm not. You've never met my sister.  This is the same unbalanced woman, who a few months ago was yelling I was nothing but a "fucking faggot", yet when she needed a ride, assumed I posessed a very short memory. 

"Yes Sherri" I was tempted to answer, "yes it is.  All gay men are required to wear these rings."  Instead, I just shook my head and said "No."

So as to the old saying that there's "no such thing as a stupid question"?   Wait til you have a conversation with my youngest sibling and see what you think.

Pop Overload

I'm definitely on pop overload this week....so much good stuff to digest!

Ricky Martin officially comes out.   Always loved the guy, now even moreso.  I'll be buying his upcoming book for sure.

Speaking of books, Rupaul also has a new one...and damnit I'm excited to get it.   Say what you want about Ru, but he is one smart drag queen.   While watching last seasons Drag Race, I was really impressed at what he had to say about self love, esteem, and working your ass off.  She rocks.

D and I watched the Blind Side this week.  I remember laughing when it first came out that I would never watch it.  (I have an aversion to actors playing 'southern') but I relented and loved it.  Sandra Rocks.    Her situation with Jesse James is sad.....and although he's scum....I have to admit.....I'd tap that.

Something else I hate to admit:  I'm looking forward to the new Tom Cruise movie "Knight & Day".   I despise the ego known as Tom Cruise.  I can't stomach his crazylookatmescientology ways....but this looks good.  Totally stoked for this flick.

And speaking of 'stoked'....that doesn't even begin to describe how excited I am about Christin Aguilera's new album which should be dropping in june.   The preview song "Not Myself Tonight"...is so incredibly cool.....I'm a giddy little school girl.

So there ya have it.  My "Pop Overload".......I haven't OD'd yet, but hey, it's only wednesday so who knows what else the week will bring.

Livin La Vida Fabulosa!

"I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."---Ricky Martin

I wasn't even sure I'd post this, because last time I was kind of bitch-slapped for having my own take on 'celebrities coming out'...but how can I pass this up? (and for that matter...why should I?)

I don't feel the same way about Ricky as I did about Sean Hayes. Double standard you cry? I don't see it that way. They're two totally different people and situations (and motives)....plus he's not being all condesceningly snide about it.

Welcome Ricky! Your rainbow toaster is in the mail.

Methinks He Doth Protest Too Much

If the ban on gays serving openly in the military is lifted, what does the Marine Corp's top officer say about housing?

"I would not ask our Marines to live with someone that's homosexual if we can possibly avoid it," Marine Commandant Gen. James Conway told a Web site in an interview posted Friday. "And to me that means we've got to build [barracks] that have single rooms."

Really? 

I guess the Commandant feels us queers just wouldn't be able to help 'sneaking a peek' or making  a pass at our fellow soldiers.   I mean after all......gays in the military would go through all the personal sacrifices....the blood sweat and tears to serve their country ONLY because we're secretly hoping a career in the military is a Falcon video 24/7.

The absolute stupidity of our nation's supposed 'finest'....baffles me.

My guess is the Commandant is making his assumptions based on his own personal struggles, and in this case I'd wager money "he doth protest waaaaaay too much".
