1:40 pm - Rant...
|
Seriously. Fucking seriously...someone fucking explain to me why it is that whenever a celebrity, political figure, swimsuit model, etc. dies, everyone on fucking livejournal thinks that it is their duty as a human to alert everyone else on livejournal.
As if you all think that the rest of us are living under a rock.
Kennedy for instance. Within about 8 seconds of the dudes heart stopping, I had about 13 people in the office popping their heads out of their office doors and sending "urgent" emails to everyone else in the office letting them know the bad news.
This was an actual conversation that was had with a co-worker i was passing in the hallway:
Steve: "james, did you hear about kennedy passing?"
James: "yes steve. i heard. were you not included on the 16 emails that the ENTIRE office were copied on letting us know???"
............................
And the most annoying part of it! You all feel the need to do a "google image search" and go through the effort of finding the "perfect picture" and embedding an image if the now dead celebrity as if none of us knows what they look like! FUCK! You're not making the fucking program for the funeral...get over the pics!
................
Seriously LJ friends, do us ALL a favor....
If you feel the need to be the LJ obituary section....take a look at your "friends page". If you see someone that has already posted about that celebrity passing....chances are SO HAVE WE!!!!!!
................
I'm going to have to listen to it all fucking night on every fuckng channel so I would much rather read all your posts about what boys you like, who you sucked off in the bathroom, how drunk you got last weekend, how you can't afford to pay your rent and are going to be evicted, dumb stories about your pathetic dead-end jobs, etc. That's why I added you as a friend....NOT because i thought you would keep me more informed on current events than Yahoo News.
Thanks

1:07 pm - What Have I Agreed To?????
|
A good friend of mine called me this weekend and explained her dilemma to me and asked me for a HUGE favor.
She is a single mother with a 1 year old son. She was called to New York for work for a big merger.
She asked me if I could watch her son in the evenings from tonight until Friday morning. Her mother will be watching him during the day, so I drop him off at his grandma's house on my way to work and then pick him up on my way home. And yes....watch him overnight!
Ummmmm. i am a little bit terrified to say the least. Just me and a baby.....FOR FOUR NIGHTS!
I have to feed him, get him bathed and ready for bed, get him ready in the morning, etc. I have the car seat all set up in my car.
We'll see how this all goes.

1:13 pm - Film Review
|
Boy Interrupted
One of the most tragic and sad Documentary films I have ever seen. It tells the story of a boy who was plagued with mental disorders his entire life which resulted in him taking his own life at the age of 15.
Seriously, I sat there and cried like a bitch for almost the entire two hours.
if you like sdaness...you have to watch it.

10:31 am - Weekend Update....
|
Fiday night, an old friend of mine had a party at her place so I decided to make a small appearence. I was glad I did. It was nice to see people that I had not seen in a while. Here's a picture from the evening's festivites.
After hanging out for a couple of hours, I went down to Newport and met Carmela, Lea, Bryan, Diana and Andre at Port. We had a few drinks and then walked down the street to The Quite Woman. I had never been to that place and wow...I will never go back. It basically was filled to the brim with cougars and young men that are intrerested in them.
After a few drinks there, my friend Derek called and said he was having a late night jacuzzi party at his house, so i headed over there to finish the night off. Which didn't actually end until the sun was up. I seriously looked like a prune.
Saturday was the Shiny Toy Guns concert. Because I'm fabulous and well connected, I was invited to the VIOP after party after the concert which was great. Open bar and all that shit.
Sunday, I went and met the family at the beach house. I made my momma lunch and then I took the family to the movies. We saw The Soloist. Ok...the film was alright...but they could have cut that shit down by at least 45 minutes.

Friday:
Friday night was the Opening Night for the Action Sports Series at the Film Festival. I had twelve people on my list for the Launch Party, so I invitred some clients to wine and dine. Only 6 of my clients showed up, so around 11:00, I called some friends to have them come over and partake in the open bar. All of my clients were out of there by midnight, so I was able to let loose and not worry about getting drunk. Later on, STephen and Jason called me and said they had an extra spot on their list at the Range Rover party, so they came and picked me up and we worked that party out until it shut down.
Saturday:
I woke up ridiculously early and made my way down to 1000 Steps Beach in Laguna. I decided that i was going to change up my workout routine and do one workout per week at the beach rather than in the gym. Wow. That shit was crazy. First of all...I have never ran on the sand. I've been running 5 miles every Thursday on the treadmill. On Saturday...after one mile....I thought i was going to die. I did the steps 6 motherfucking times and my legs felt like jello for the entire rest of the day.
After working out, I met Carmela and Bryan for lunch and then went home and passed out. I was originally supposed to meet up with Leo in Manhattan Beach for drinks, but I didn't wake up from my nap until 10:30 p.m. and really didn't feel like getting ready and driving all the way out there so I just stayed in.
Sunday:
Paul and Rosie called me and asked me if I wanted to join them at Disneyland. Although I have a strong hatred for all things Disney, I was bored so I decided to choke up the $70 and make the trip. It took me THREE FUCKING HOURS to get from the freeway off ramp to the front gate of the park. I would have turned around after 30 minutes, but by that time i was headed down the one-way corridor and there was no turning back. We ended up going to California Adventure, which I had never been to before. um....that shit is no way near worth 70 fucking dollars. You can get the same shit at Santa Monica Pier for a $25 ride pass!
..........................
In other news...........everyone seemed to want to see pictures of the beard....but i shaved it off on friday. But i am sure it will be back at some point so i will have to take pitures.

I've grown a beard. Some people love it. Some people hate it. I'm still on the fence. But I have a fancy party tonight for the Newport Beach Film Festival so I think I'm going to shave it off.

9:36 am - Vacation....
|
Most normal people get drunk and call all their friends or exes late at night and regret it the next morning.....i however....book vacations!
After a night of serious drinking and poker playing, I awoke Saturday morning vaguely remembering sitting with two of my friends in front of a laptop in his living room and booking a trip to Hawaii the previous night. I could remember if it was a dream or reality. I got out of bed and went to the computer and sure enough...it was not a dream. There in my inbox was an email from Orbitz thanking me for my purchase of a Hawaiian vacation.
I called up Leo who also didn't remember much about the evening past 2:00 a.m. and after going back and forth a few times as to whether or not we should cancel...we ended up deciding that although it was ill planned and done on such a whim....we would still go on the trip as we all need a much neded vacation.
So....I'm leaving for Maui in two weeks!!!! I'm sure we'll have fun. It's just going to be myself, Leo, Bryan and Jerrod. Of course, I will be the only gay, but in doing a little research last nigt on the interenet, I found that there isn't even one gay bar on Maui anyways so I guess that won't be an issue.

9:53 am - Walmart Bingo...
|
Ok...So there isn't actually many Walmarts here in Los angeles. But there is a few and every time I have stepped foot into one, it's like stepping into the twilight zone. Seriously...some of the creepiest people walk around that place. Even the employees weird me out.
Now this is a new game that you can play every time you go to Walmart to make the experience a little more fun and a lot less creepy. My friend Jason and I actually took a trip to Walmart last night JUST to play this game. We didn't even buy anything.

10:21 am - I Do Have a Kind Side....
|
Ok...so I haven't done this walk in a few years, but with the economy in the current state, i thought it was important to help raise money for charity. As you can imagine, when times get tough, charitable giving is one of the first things that people cut back on. Coming from a family that has always made charitable giving a top priority, I know that there are many other personaly luxuries that I can cut back on before turning my back on helping others.
Please follow this link and make a donation if you can. Any amount will make a difference and no amount is too small. However...large donations give me a hard on! If you are unable to make a donation....I completely understand.
http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/dsp_DonationPage.cfm?walkid=5831&idUser=115474
Here is the letter that I wrote that I am sending to all my friends and business associates that you can also view on my page...
Dear Friends:
Recently, I was introduced to a young mother who had all three of her children diagnosed with CF this past holiday season, ages 3, 5 & 7. The impact that this has had on me is profound, and I am therefore even more committed than ever to raising the funds necessary to find a cure for this devastating disease.
This year, I'm walking in the GREAT STRIDES walk in Huntington Beach on May 16th, 2009. Please help me meet my fund-raising goal by sponsoring me. Your generous gift will be used efficiently and effectively, as nearly 90 cents of every dollar of revenue raised is available for investment in vital CF programs to support research, care and education.
During this difficult time in our economy, it is quite standard that the first place that individuals cut back on greatly is their charitable giving. However, the stark reality is that the needs of those living with CF do not lessen or go away during such times. But I am confident that with help of people like you, we will one day celebrate together as CF will no longer stand for cystic fibrosis, but rather "Cure Found".
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with CF! Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation and GREAT STRIDES!
Thanks,
-James

3:36 pm - Washington DC and NYC...
|
So all in all, I had a fucking blast.
Three days in Washington DC were spent working. Literally, I spent every day from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. in meetings.
I left DC for nyc on Thursday and that's when the fun began.
Ryan (smartypantsnyc) picked me up from the airport, took me to my hotel, drooled while I changed and then we went to the club. I got wasted. I got into an argument with a fat puerto rican. i stole a scarf. I had an awesome time. It was great to see Ryan and spend some time with him since last time I only got to hang out with him for about 45 minutes.
Friday morning, I called an old friend of mine from LA that moved to NYC about a year ago. We met for lunch and were having a great conversation when he sprung it on me that he had found out about a month ago that he was HIV+. I really didn't know how to react to the situation. I started crying. He laughed at me. I wasn't all out bawling or anything. Just a couple of tears fell from my normally unsympathetic eyes. Since he laughed at me and told me to not be so dramatic...i decided to lighten the mood with a joke. I said "You're right....EVERYONE has Aids these days...so don't think you're so fucking special". He laughed again and told me that he appreciated my caring.
So that basically ruined the next few hours of my day, but then I had a nap and felt better.
I met up later that evening with my ex Michael. We had a few cocktails and then went to dinner at Mercer Kitchen. We were together for 3 years and it has been probably 4 years since i last saw him. It was great seeing him and we seriously spent the entire dinner laughing our asses off and pissing off the snobby British couple next to us. After dinner, we headed to Eastern Block for more drinks.
The next day I met my ex GIRLFRIEND for lunch. Yes....this was back in the day when i dated women. The best part is....she just recently got married...TO A GIRL. Yup...we both ended up being gay. We had a blast catching up as well and we spent the day drinking champagne on her rooftop deck.
I realized something that day. Although I am currently single and none of my long term relationships have ended up working out, I still am extremely connected to the people that I have shared a large part of myself with. I am fairly cold and difficult to get along with. I'm opinionated, bossy, selfish...among other things....BUT we all still deeply care for one another. I'm certainly not BFF with any of my exes, but we still have immense respect for each other and respect for what we had....and most importantly...genuinely enjoy spending time with one another even though the romantic aspect of our relationships have drifted away.
I have heard so many people talk about their exes with such animosity and hatred. I have heard so many people talk about how horrible their exes were. About how horrible the things they did to them were. I have not heard many people discuss the things that THEY THEMSELVES did that was not in the best of form. And as I sat there and reflected about my exes...there is not a whole lot of nasty things that I can say about any of them. They were who they were and I loved them for who they were. Unfortunately...the relationship didn't work out, but that doesn't change the connection that you once felt. It doens't make them a bad person. And it doesn't make me a bad person.
Perhaps I am lucky to have these experiences with my exes. But i would like to think that we are just mature enough to posess the ability to put the drama aside and to look at things in perspective. We had our problems and issues in the past of course....but in the grand scheme of things, they were so minor.
ok....enough with all this seriousness!
After lunch with the ex-girlfriend, i went back to my hotel. As I was walking to my room, I noticed a hotel employee that kept staring at me. I thought to myself "I think he is cruising me". But of course, I didn't want to be presumptious. I went to my room, but couldn't stop thinking about the way he was looking at me. I left my room and walked back to where he had been. He was still there and gave me this really flirty smile. I said hello and he responded back accordingly. We started to chit-chat a little and he procedded to ask me if i wanted to "hang out" before I leave. I wasn't sure what he was insinuating so I kept asking questions. Finally after some prodding, he says "well i have some time if you want to hangt out for a little bit in your room".
I led him back to my room, walked in, shut the door....he had my pants off within 5 seconds and on his knees giving me a blowjob. He was damn good at it too. He finished the job. Said that he would be back before i checked out and left the room.
Later that night i met Jarrod and his friend David at the club. We stayed there for a couple drinks and then our way to a different club. We got drunk. I met another friend who ended up inviting me to some house party which went on into the early morning hours.
Feeling likes shit, I made my way to the airport and returned home last night and unfortunately had to somewhat compose myself for work today.

10:29 am - RuPaul's Drag Race...
|
|
This show is my new obsession. I absolutely love it. It just saddens me that it's not a daily show. Seriously....why must I sit through two-hour long episodes of The Biggest Loser and American Idol. And Big Brother gets three days a fucking week, but Drag Race only gets one measley hour a week. It breaks my heart.

9:58 am - L.A. Marathon....
|
OK....so now that I have lost the 25 pounds that I wanted to lose, I decided to take on a new challenge.
Today at 6:00 p.m., I will begin training for the L.A. Marathon.
In other words....I am going to feel like I want to die tomorrow morning when I awake.
I have done a marathon before...but it was my first year of college so it's been a while. But I do know what I'm getting myself into.
