Years on
Posted by: | Comments
Today was like a time warp. I caught up for a long lunch with a friend I went to school with. It’s been a very long time. OMG. That’s so bizarre. I can’t believe I’ve been out of school for so long. lol.
When I received the call to say she was here and I heard the voice on the other end of the phone it was and I’m not joking like I could see this tunnel taking me right back to school. However it was great, we talked about what we had been up to, exchanged relationship horror stories and just talked about people we went to school with. I had the nicest time.
It’s amazing that even after all this time ‘T’ hadn’t changed at all. Anyway, we will definately catch up again in the future and will stay in touch.

OMG Hot!!!
Posted by: | CommentsI generally have a rule that I don’t post a pic found on another blog for at least a month after I see it. However the picture below was so hot I just had to post it. So please go to Beauty and the Bum to see the rest of the shoot. I will feel less guilty that way.

What the F***
Posted by: | Comments
What is it with people at the moment. I am sorry for this post being a little negative in advance, but I am at my end when it comes to frustration levels. I’ve heard one friend talking about the minute you are nice to someone or open up they become a nut case. Another friend who when nice to someone ended up with a stalker, another blogger who is getting the nasty comments again and myself where I am having demands put on me that are completely manipulative and selfish. Luckily things at home are good and I have a refuge.
Firstly people, no one has the right to leave vicious or nasty comments on your blog. I know you know that so this is a message for those who think they have the right. Seriously get a life. Many gay bloggers from time to time get the comments from those who profess to be doing God’s work. Interestingly I have not had this happen yet, but welcome those who have a problem with those of us who are gay to leave comments. I welcome debate. I will not welcome purely bitter disrespectful comments. So to all you religious fundamentalists go for it here.
To my other friends who have suffered some psychos or stalkers then I totally understand. To those of you who are readers of blogs, don’t try and befriend the authors unless you are serious about building a level of friendship on a mature level. Don’t just look for some attention, there are help lines for that. Blog authors write because they want to share their experiences in case it may help someone not so those of you who are unstable have another focus for your crap.
I’m sorry for my little rant. I will stop now otherwise I could be here for hours.

We Are The Reason
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve just had a flashback from my childhood when I sang this song from David Meece. Tonight it was my boif who was singing it. It reminds me of one of the most beautiful moments I can remember. The song always brings a tear to my eye.

It’s Time!
Posted by: | Comments
One of the things I have been noticing are the signs of burnout. It happens from time to time, sometimes there can be a year between impending burnouts and other times it can be months. Strangely for me this one has come around very quickly. Well actually when I think about it, it has been about six months.
I am grateful that I recognise the signs and know when to draw the line. What I really need is a week off work to do nothing. That will help get me through to Christmas I think. Unfortunately I probably won’t be able to take time off until July. I think I need to start looking at it really closely. I also need to start thinking about some long weekends.
The one thing I have discovered is that I have to look after myself. Unfortunately I tend to forget for a while until I start to feel the signals. So I’m going to take it easy and when I get back from Canberra I’ll try and slow down a little until I can get some time.
It’s time to refocus. So if my posts get a little erratic please tell me lol.
While I’m thinking of it, if any of my Inner Circle readers haven’t been able to see my 24May video post than please let me know. You know who you are.

Random meme
Posted by: | Comments
Ok, so it appears I have been tagged by The Engineer for this meme. I love this one. If you want to know about me here is the one although I’m not yet sure what to say. The rules are simple:-
Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random, facts, habits or goals about yourself. At the end, choose 6 people to be tagged, list their names & why you tagged them. Don’t forget to leave them a comment saying “You’re it!” & to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you, so since you’re not allowed to tag me back; let me know when you are done so I can go read YOUR weird, random, facts, habits and goals.
1. I am a romantic at heart. I love to be romantic, always putting a lot of thought into everything I do for those I love. I don’t wait to the last minute rather plan gifts and surprises well in advance to make it that much more special. Wait till September when you find out the birthday present I got my boif. If you know him he will be over the moon.
2. Apparently I have a rather high IQ. I don’t talk about it normally but since this is about those unknown parts of me let’s just say it’s definately high enough to get me into Mensa.
3. I love to read Gay Fiction. I like lots of other stuff too but Gay Fiction and in particular crime such as Chris Rice novels are my favourites. Why do I like Gay Fiction? I think it’s because I feel the relevance for me. Not the trashy gay fiction but something with a bit of substance. It’s my way to escape.
4. When I was very young I accidently killed my budgie. I remember spending a lot of time at my next door neighbors. They had a bird they used to let out of the cage and fly around the room. So me being young and dumb I went home and let the bird out. Unfortunately it only took a split second for our cat to jump up and eat it. I forgot all about the cat.
5. Many I work with wouldn’t recognise that I am an extremely patient person lol. I’ve been told many times that when it comes to what matters I am very patient. Sometimes I’m not sure this is a good thing but when it comes to the people I love I am around for the long haul. I have been in relationships in the past where I put up with a lot. When looking back I think many would have left years before but I can’t give up on a relationship unless I feel I have done everything possible to fix any problems. Sometimes that just takes a very long time.
6. I absolutely love the touch of a naked body up against mine. When I am naked with the one I love I am in heaven. There is nothing quite like the feeling of skin on skin contact. I am a very intimate person and when I don’t have that level of contact I go into withdrawl. In between naked contact I need the skin contact such as touching my partners back or a massage. I just can’t express my desire for touch.
7. In all the places I have travelled in the world I would have to say the place I felt most at home was Austria. From my experiences in Austria with the people, the landscapes and the general feel I could live there in a second. My second pick would be Tuscany.
8. What attracts me to a guy are the eye’s sort of. It’s when I look into someones eye’s and what I see in the eye’s doesn’t match the outward behaviour. It’s a level of vulnerability. If someone is loud but when I look into their eye’s they are screaming ‘love me’ I am sold. I can’t help it. It’s what has drawn me to everyone in my life.
9. One of my goals is to build a good life for me and my partner. That may seem like common sense but it is seriously a big part of my life. I have a strong belief in the fact that my partner and I are a family and that is life long. I know life sometimes doesn’t work out but when in a relationship I have to go into it believing it is forever otherwise my heart is not in it and I am always waiting for the end.
10. Without my blogging I think I would be struggling in my life. Blogging has been a great therapy for me. It’s been the way in which I have worked through my frustrations and I am so very grateful when people comment good and bad just because I know there are people out there reading. I have found by writing down here what is going on in my life whether that be on the public blog, Inner Circle or Private posts it is like a huge release. Thank you.
Those I am taging:-
