T minus 1 and counting...
So we leave for L.A. first thing in the morning. I so can't bloody wait! This should be a blast! I have a very loose plan for the trip. I wanna do the driving around on Friday like Beverly Hills, Hollywood, etc. Then Saturday we will play in Disneyland with all the other red shirt folk. Sunday I hope to play at Universal Studios and on Monday I wanna tour the Warner Bros. studio lot. Nothing to exciting because of the whole heart thing, Scott's making sure of that. But I wanna play hard! How often do we get to go to L.A. for a four day weekend? This dose mean no drinking (waaaa!) but eh, who needs a long island when you're in freakin L.A. BABY!!

Even TIVO likes the woof...
Last night I get home and Scott tells me that TIVO did not record Smallville, instead it recorded C.S.I. I was not sad at all, I too would've rather record woof rather than twink. I bet Scott programed the TVIO to over ride any conflicting programing with the "woof factor" being the winner record all... It works honey!! ;)

Old...
I had a mild heart attack yesterday. I knew something didn't feel right, I just didn't know what it was. So my woofy cook took me to the hospital after work last night where I waited for about 30 minutes to be seen. Not bad I guess for the ER. I had this cute male RN take my temperature and stuff, he had nice arms. This female Dr. shows up and has me hooked to this machine for about 2 hours. ugh. They discovered that I have an irregular heart beat, I have a cholesterol level of 320, and I I have high blood pressure. I have been on edge a lot lately, with work, home & family. I'm supposed to take two weeks off to relax. Right, That's gonna happen. So she gave me some medication to calm me down. All I need to do is not worry so much about stuff I have no control over. Of course that's easier said than done. I didn't like that drowning feeling I had, so I wanna take better care of myself. I mean I know I should've anyway, but I guess I need a reminder that I'm not Superman. I'm just me. Old.. me ;)

Kryptonite and me...
I have arthritis pretty bad. So bad that I fell down the stairs in Scott's loft a fews weeks back because my knee gave out on me. It hurt... a lot. So my Dr. gave me a prescription for Celebrix. I guess I should've payed attention to the pharmacist prescription advice, more so when it concerns the sexual side effects. I need at least one good "O" sometimes two a day. Yeah, that's not happening. It bloody sucks!! My Dr. says it's gonna get worse before it gets better. Ugh. It's like my version of kryptonite. No juice (no pun intended) at all. *sigh*. This is it. I have officially become an old gay man. Growing old sucks!

L.A. here I come!
This weekend we are headed to L.A. for Gay Day at Disneyland. This four day weekend couldn't have come at a better time. With my evil ranting last week, this vacation seemed long over due. Now I have to get my red shirt ready and an L.A. worthy wardrobe to paint the town rainbow! There's no place like L.A.!!!

O.K.... One more time...
So now, really, this week, I'm back on my super disciplined diet. My 34's are starting to fit snug. Eww. So Now I'm back on phase one on the South Beach diet. I'm tired of looking like I have 2 liter's for love handles. Who invented that phrase "love handles"? They are anything but lovely. Before I would go to gym when I got off work, which was like at midnight or so. I would close 5 nights a week, so it was easy to go 5 times a day. Now I only close 2 days a week, and open the other 3. I went after an opening shift to the gym and it was not good... The whole place was full of folk hogging the machines. Ugh. So now I have to find a better time to go to the gym where I can get my equal time of fat burning. So long Boston Cream pies, Adios peanut butter cream pies, Aloha, Dairy Queen ice cream cones, and Hola to a healthier me... It's times like these where I find solace in one my favorite lines from t.v.
"I gave all up all the foods that were bad for me, now I'm miserable, but I look good."

My woofy fan...
I have a new bread man, and wow! He so bloody HOT!! He's gotta be at least 35 ish. Nice arms and legs. Blue eyes, short black hair with nice goatee. And to make matters worse, he's of the gay. How do I know this? "Hey, you look familiar, I just can't seem to place it." I smiled and said "Oh well I have that kinda face." Buy this time, I was already stuttering and possibly drooling all over him. Then he stopped right in front of my office and said; "Bolt" I turned around so fast that I almost got whiplash. "Excuse me?" I say trying to sound confused. "You where at the Bolt for that bear contest." This is the part where my face turns red and I crack a small smile. "Guilty" I whisper. He smiled and said; "You where robbed. You where one of the hottest guys there. I should've been a judge" He then started to wheel in my bread order. I was intrigued, So I followed him into my dry store room. "Who was your favorite contestant?" I asked. He looked and smiled at me. "Is it not obvious?" "Not really, I was rooting for my friend Ben" I replied. "Who was he?" The bread man asked. "He won the Sac Valley Daddy title." "Oh he was so cute!" Bread man squealed. Then he says's "Nice ring." and points to my wedding band. "Thank you, me and my boyfriend picked them out together." "Nice" he said now leaving the store room. "We'll I'll see you next time." He said pulling out a piece of paper out his back pocket. I signed my invoice and he gave me a copy. "If you need anything, you can reach me through dispatch" "O.K." I said as I watched him leave the back door. "Oh, by the way, I loved the sheriff get up, you ever use those handcuffs on any else?" I laugh, he winks, I blush, he leaves
Dan the bread man... twas nice to meet you.

I NEED A VACATION!!!
Before I go into detail, it is not a news flash that I have a big mouth. Sometimes, I should just nood and say yes. But not today, and here's why...
1. A customer told me her Frencg Dip was dry. I told her... to her face... Then what's the au jus for? The look on her face said "oh yeah, I'm calling and complaining"
2. Two folks where waiting to be seated, I said "ok gentalmen, right this way." One them said "Exscuse me, I'm a lady" In a snippy tone. I said (again to her face) "Then you should've worn a dress". The real gentalman that was with he/her started to laugh. He/she did not. ugh.
3. A person came to the register and said that the restroom was out of paper towels, so I gave him my sorries and gave him a napkin. he said in a snippy tone, "well I already wipped my hands" I asked, "With what?" He rolled his eyes and walked away. Opps...
4. This lady ordered a strawberry milkshake, buffalo chicken strips, soup, salad, a mile high roast beef sandwhich and a large sundae. I asked her if there was anything else she wanted, she said "yes, a diet Pepsi" I asked "Are you kidding me?" Yeah, she was serious.
5. A customer said that her over hard eggs were'nt "hard" enough I asked "well how hard did you want it?" She said "I like it as hard as you can get it" I bursted out with a such a loud laugh that the whole resturant stopped and looked at me. All I could do was point at this poor lady and said "She said she likes it hard!" SHE THEN WINKED AT ME!!!
6. A blind man walked into the resturant. I sat him, and gave him a menu. He said "You know this looks good, I want this" pointing at a random location on the menu, then it hit me. I didn't give him a brail menu, I ran and got him one and said here dose this "look" better (yes, I said look). He said; "you must be new." "Right" I replied. I gave him the finger and walked away. I bet he didn't see that coming.
Last but not least...
7. This lady came in with 5 children. I sat them and gave all the kids a childs menu. One of them said, "excuse me; I'm not a child". I laughed and said "oh you just look like one" He said "I'm 35." I said to his face "Well you look good for your age" I left his table with his mouth wide open.
Yeah, this all happend today. I have been sent to the office for the rest of the day for fear of offending another customer. all I can say is, they make it so easy for me to do so.

Smallville Rocked!!
This was an awesome episode! The "no flights no tights" rule was bent and they did an amazing job doing it! Looking back on the old Superman movies, the flying scences looked so fake, but Smallvill done did good! Lois Lane... Wow. They wrote her in so well. It looks like they are setting her up to be a main player in the series, but the show reports that she's only on for 13 episodes. I think I'm gonna go to a speacial hell for saying this, but Lex's daddy looked pretty hot. I mean I know he's 180 yars old, but man does he have nice arms! Clark... NAKED!!! That was the best part of this episode. I really have no liking of hairless guys, but DAMN!!! His body had me drooling for more. I liked the almost ass shot the best! I think they need to have Clark show more skin. Lana's new bo, He's a cutie. I wouldn't mind seeing more of him... naked too if it ever happens! I should write an episode of Smallville, where the love triangle between Clark, Lana and her new man takes a nice homo turn. I bet I could win an Emmy for that episode!

Who pays in the end?
I was chatting with a friend yesterday about realationships and money. We decided that money can pretty much make a break or relationship because in this case, it's reaching it's breaking point. I've been in relationships where it seemed like I've always paid for everything. Vacations, eating out, the bar, forgotten bills, friends birthday gifts, dinner parties, I could go on and on. But the one time where the other half is asked to pay for something, it comes back a short time later with a "Well I paid last last time, so you're gonna pay this time right?" Eww. What about what I pay for? Does that not matter? Ugh... Been there, done that and moved on.
My friend is going through the same thing right now. How much is too much? Has it come down to making a list of things bought and paid for by whom and when? What happend to the genuine and thoughtful, "Here honey, I'll get it this time" ? The other issue that came up was the amount of money that's made from the other half. Now my friend makes a nice living, but the other half?... yeah, not so much. My friend see's it as an obligation to pay for his other half's way because, well he has to. What the hell?!? Why should my friend have to pay for the other halfs life? that took me to the level of 10 on the grumpy scale (10 being the grumpiest).
The rest of the relationship is great other wise. It's so sad that money can make that kinda impact where love is concerned. It bothers me when I look back at all my falied relationships and see that in the end money did talk and someone did walk.
Now, I try to not make money an issue. I sometimes feel I have to over compensate for being the "rental boyfriend". Meaning Scott has more to pay for than I do. I do over do it sometimes but he's so bloody worth it.
My friend LOVES this guy, but with his life already filled with other money obligations, it's making it harder for him to do what he needs to do. I told my friend that he needs to have the money talk with his other half. I just hope no one walks because of it.

Best morning ever...
My hubby to be just couldn't fall back to sleep this morning, so I took advantage of the situation, which meant I took advantage of him. Afterwards we just lied there chatting about stuff. Some nice, and some harsh. It was great. Some of the stuff we talked about I needed to hear. I go on and on about the wrongs that I supposedly go through, when in fact he has his fair share of wrongs I do to him. This time, I wasn't defensive, grumpy, bitter or anything self centered like. I took it as, wow, I wont do that again. He opened my eyes in a way no other boyfriend has ever done. Not to mention he was gentle about my icky-ness towards him. Me... needing a backhand. All in all, it was the best morning I've spent with him... ever...

Increased tolerance...
I don't see myself as an un-fair kinda guy, but now I see myself being just that.
There is someone out there I just don't get along with and it's now becoming a major issue. It's effetcing someone who's really close to me, to the point of tears actually. I hate that I can make someone cry for feeling the way I do.
I've been asked to give said person another chance and I'm gonna, only because it's important to that special someone. Now I find myself wondering how much le-way should I give?
A few months back this person who I have an issue with treated me so badly in front of my parents that it caused a fight between my mother and I. We fought because she felt I was letting him mistreat me because of the "someone close" to me. I told my mom they had a past, which in retrospect, not a good idea. Either way her reason might've been true, but boy did I let that someone close to me hear about it later. In looking back to even before that parent incident, he's been doing those kinda things for quite a while. Ignoring me when I asked a question, slamming me about not knowing stuff about that someone we have in common, talking down to me, etc. All the while mr. someone we have in common knew nothing, or maybe just didn't wanna say anything. He hates confrontation. Lucky for me, I have a big mouth. problem is, I choose to use it on the wrong person. Alot.
*sigh*
So now I await my next trial by fire session with said person. I know that the person I'm doing this for is way worth the increased tolerance. I just hope I have the strength for it.

Year 1...
Wow, a year ago today I meet my hubby to be; well, in person anyway. We meet durring bowling. I knew when I saw him that he was a special kinda guy. I mean, who else could put up with such an accident prone individual? This past year has been amazing. I've never done half the things I've done since being with Scott. Camping, boggie boarding, going to San Diego, doing Lazy Bear, compromising, learning to not be such a big baby (well I'm still working on that one), not to mention the awesome sex. If this past year is what I have to expect from him for the rest of my life, well, all I have to say is, wow... My happliy ever after has finaly arrived. I've been waiting for him all my life. I can't wait to live my life with my huggy bear, my best friend, the man of my dreams and the one I wanna wake up next to for the rest of my life... My Squishy... My Scott...

Good to be loved...
Yesterday, I was laying in bed like a lazy bear watching one of the best t.v. shows to get cancelled. The Birds of Prey. I had a nice day off, doing absolutely nothing. It was nice. Then my hubby to be came home. I smiled and waited for him to join me upstairs so we can have cuddle time. He came up stairs with one arm behind his back. He gave me a single red rose. My heart fell to the ground. Then the kiss to follow caused fire works in the bedroom. When I asked why the rose, he simply said; "because I love my fluffy" (yes he calls me fluffy...) Wow. I so scored big time with my squishy (yes, I call him squishy).

2nd Season...
Today marks the first day of my second season of bowling. Last season kinda sucked. I had serveral bowler issues most of last year. By the end of the season my friend D.J. was the last man standing... out of 5 bowlers. Poor guy. I was shipped of to South Lake Tahoe for a few months, so I was M.I.A., then I dislocated my knuckle so that put me out for the rest of the season. This season should be much better. My hubby and I combined our teams of two each, Me n D.J. and Scott n Ben. We needed one more bowler, enter Jason... a hottie who also won the title of "Mr. Joe Bear" at the Sac Valley Bear contest this year. He's a super nice guy. So yea! I have a team of eye candy. I just hope I can keep my eye on the bowling ball instead of the players balls ;)~

Looki-Lou
Yesterday while I was on a spending spree at Kenneth Cole of New York, I felt the need to use the restroom. The public restroom was pact! I had to wait in line while I did the pee pee dance. Finally it was my turn. As I was releasing my fluids, this woofy guy peeing next to me noticed my prince albert. "Did it hurt?"; he asked. "Not really, it felt like a quick pinch with fingernails." "I was thiniking about getting one." Woof-man replied. "Do it, you will feel all kinds of good things." I say with a grin. The look on his face told me he was on his way to feel the 1.2 seconds of pain. I could tell he was straight by the way he quickly zipped up his pants and left to restroom... WITHOUT WASHING HIS HANDS! EWW! He lost woof points for that. He must've felt awkward chatting about dicks while peeing in a bathroom, how very George Michael. I went to wash my hands and I noticed the rest of the guys in there looking at me with question marks on their faces. I'm not sure if they wanted to see it or ask more questions about it. Guess I'll never know because I had more shopping to do. I thought it was funny how the worker shirt nasty woof-man was wearing had the name "Lou" on it. Hehehe. First name Looky, last name Lou. Perfect name for him I think.

I Want My Sex!
Sex and the City that is. I was on amazon.com doing a search on when Sex and the City season 6 part 2 will be released, and to my horror, there are no plans to release it yet. "What?" I yelled out loud at home. I wonder what HBO is thinking? Hello? Friends had their final episode out on DVD the week after it aired. I don't get it. I know there are only four episodes left, so why not just release the bloody thing and get it over with? O.k., truth be told, the reason for my ranting is because I wanna see the episode where Charlotte's dog goes in heat. "You'r dog was gang banged at the park?" That was Samantha's line, and it had me laughing for the rest of the episode. Ahh, quality programing. I miss it so.

Run...
That's the name of an upcoming episode of Smallville which will air on October 20ish. Kryptonsite.com spoilers site gives a "run" down of this episode that introduces "Bart Allen" a.k.a. the Flash into Smallville continuity. This is a big deal because most shows have to pay a ton of money to use the rights of another character in it's show. Last year, there was supposed to be a Bruce Wayne episode, but alas, it never happend for what ever reason. Now with the upcoming Batman Begins movie due out next year, Bruce Wayne may make an appearance. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

L.A.?
I'm the tech support contact person for my district. I've just finished a trouble shooting manual for the stores in my area becuase the one that the we get from our corp. folks reads like it's in German. My boss sent it to her boss, He sent it to his boss, blah, blah, blah... Now, I just got a call from our folks at headquarters offering me a job in L.A. Wow.
Trust me, I'm not a smartie by any means, and the fact that I was even offered a job in L.A. is nice, but I can't help but wonder; "What the hell are they thinking?" I mean, sure I write up a little somthing-something and get a pat on the back, but a job offer? I asked if I could think about it and they said that the'll do what ever it takes. So I then asked, what about if I wanted to stay in Sacramento? "Why?" was the responce I got. Eww, I love Sacramento. The guy who was offering me the job made it sound all glamourious n stuff. Right. I know as soon as I show up I'll never see the streets of Santa Monica Blvd. Ever. Then, I was kinda offended that he sorta slammed Sac-town. I have till the end of the week to decide what I wanna do. "If" Headquarter dude said; they do let me operate in Sacramento, I'd be spending most of time in L.A. anyway. Ugh. And the money? N.I.C.E.! Who knows? I may have to flip a coin to decide my fate.
