Saturday's Party, Sunday's Events and Monday's Work
Topic: Life
A BIG THANK YOU to Derek (and his guest), Steven, Webster, Tony, John and Re'ale for coming out to my birthday celebration on last Saturday night. Also a big THANK YOU to Derek (and his guest), Steven, Tony, John and Re'ale for the gifts I received.

The party ended about 4:00AM. It was mostly conversation, with a quick round of The Weakest Link. I truly enjoyed myself, as my guests enjoyed themselves.

Sunday Re'ale had to go to his senior luncheon. He came back with four awards including being in the TOP TEN in his class! I'm so proud of my baby - it's not often you find young people that are truly trying to do something with their lives. He leaves to go to college in August...and I'll miss him. Good for me that he's just going "down the road a piece".

Monday - back to work after a long vacation. I have to go to CTA headquarters this afternoon to get a 7-Day Pass...with the Transit Checks that Derek gave me for my birthday.

I am planning a couple of trips in the upcoming months. July Stephen and I are probably coming back to DC for a weekend. September brings my crew to Atlanta for Atlanta's Black Gay Pride. And in January I'm thinking about doing my first cruise. Stay tuned!!!

B'Day Party Is Tomorrow
Mood:  happy
Topic: Life
I got Re'ale Pregnant! I'm gonna be a daddy!!!

Now if you all believe that another man can get pregnant, then you probably believe in Santa...LOL

Tomorrow is my b'day celebration. A total of 10 people are supposed to be coming by. I guess it's time to get the Popeye's Chicken out and go with that. Yes Tony and Derek, I ain't cookin shit, I'm gonna go to Popeye's and get some chicken for errbody...LOL I told people to come bearing gifts because (and this might sound selfish of me) last year I cooked for people and almost everybody came empty-handed. I enjoyed myself with people but it's supposed to be my birthday...why not show some love? It can be argued that just by showing up that's showing love, but in all honesty wouldn't a small token show even more love? Guess that's my selfish-ness kicking in.

I was reading the journal of my friend Derek tonight and someone made a very interesting comment to a comment I left for Derek. I told Derek, in a comment about niggas that D, you know you're absolutely right. It's almost impossible to find somebody like that out there because niggas are on so many games and bullshit. I'm happy that you found someone though. Maybe one day I'll find somebody like that out there... Which left someone to leave a reply to that comment by saying: Awww...Tim - one day you will. You have Re'ale, right? You like spending time w/him - don't you? Well let me say this. I do enjoy spending time with Re'ale. I absolutely love being around him. He truly is a wonderful sweetheart and I care about him very much. But keep in mind that we are still taking things slowly, and that no one knows what tomorrow will bring.

For my 28th B'day, I pretty much did...absolutely nothing. Talked on the phone all day with people, caught up with some friends, and that was about it.

Oh, I almost forgot. My mother called me and told me that I had received a letter from this guy named Adolphus. Let me tell the story behind him. We met way back in 1996, in downtown Chicago. I was just walking around, chillin, when I saw him. We started talking and I showed him around downtown and River North. He had to go back home to Georgia, and we tried to keep in touch, but I left for school and lost all his information. It was truly a shock that he remembered my mother's information and sent a letter to me through her. He's going to be in Chicago sometime soon for another conference, so I made it a point to send him an E-mail immediately.

I'll be going to Atlanta this year for Pride. Only this time I'm taking people with me. Re'ale has expressed interest in going, as well as my friend Stephen and Tony We'll make it work out and we'll have fun together.

Off to bed to get ready for tomorrow. More later...

Final Update from DC
Mood:  irritated
Topic: The DC Trip
Final update before I come back to Chicago.

Well Vince finally did it - he totally pissed me off. There's two things I don't like, a person that will lie to me and a person that will try and fuck with my head. Tonight he did both. Let me explain. We (Vince, Webster, Scott (this guy I met at the festival) and myself) went to Omega DC and was having fun. All along I wanted to hang with Scott and time was tight. So I did a (probably) bad thing, I attempted to leave Webster and Scott at Omega DC for about an hour to talk with Scott at Annie's (this nice restaurant in Dupont Circle), and come back to Omega. Vince actually got mad and said that he "thought we were going to stick together". When I reminded him that I came up there to have fun and be free, he grabbed on to me and started crying! I already knew that Vince liked me, but there's a point when you tell a person that you're NOT looking for a relationship, you're NOT looking to be tied down, and that you JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN. I have done all of that on numerous occasions, and it seems that he's just not listening. Then Webster didn't want to stay at Omega, he wanted to do...whatever. I got a little upset over the Vince issue and just told both of them to work it out, because my evening (aka free dinner) with Scott was about to go out the window. Needless to say Scott and I left, ate, talked, exchanged information, and came back.

But it doesn't really end there.

Vince, Webster and I met up at Dupont Circle after I returned from Annie's, and Vince kept apologizing over and over again. I would have left it alone if he didn't continue to lie in my face, over and over and over again. Of course I got totally upset, and returned to the hotel. Vince kept trying to be my little shadow, when I specifically didn't want him to be. He continued to follow me around like a little puppy for most of the evening, trying to talk to me when I specifically wanted to be left alone. We went to McDonald's and at that point the sound of his voice was getting my nerves, so I told him at that point that he really much needed to leave me alone for right then. He obliged...until we got back to the hotel. I told Re'ale over the phone that I was about three seconds from going off, and he calmed me down...somewhat. When we got back to the hotel I told Vince to basically give me the money for him to return from Chicago, because he hadn't even booked the return flight yet. I think Vince thought that he was going to come to Chicago and stay as long as he wanted to. Not happening. I booked his return flight for Wednesday, June 1st.

I'll be home tomorrow. My baby misses me and I'm missing him. I'm off all this week so we'll get to spend some time together. My birthday is Thursday. Friday I'm having Re'ale come over so we can spend some real quality time together, and Saturday is my birthday celebration. Should be fun!

See you back in Chicago.

In DC - Day Two
Topic: The DC Trip
Yesterday Vince and I didn't do too much of anything during the day. We just kicked around downtown, went and did a little more sightseeing, took some more pictures, and had fun. We went to Pentagon City, one of the largest and most beautiful malls in the DC area. One of the funniest things happened on our way out of the mall and back to the Metrorail. This tall, thick and attractive guy named Kamal walked past us, and he kept turning around and walking towards the mall. So my bold self turned around and went after him. Found out that he's from Ohio, single and not trying to be attached. Sounds like me right about now, so we exchanged numbers and I promised him that I'd hook up with him later on that afternoon.

Then Webster calls. He's at Baltimore Train Station waiting for the Amtrak to bring him into Washington DC. So we clean up relatively quickly and go to meet Webster. When we get back to the hotel Person Z received some bad news: his favorite aunt had passed. So being the comforter that I can be, I took him around the corner and bought him a McFlurry (I told him to get whatever he wanted), then we came back to the hotel. He seemed fine at that point, fine that even when we walked Webster around downtown last night he sent me a few text messages, one in particular stands out: Ya it was so good I want to move in with u ok

Now I know he was kidding...or was he?

Also I talked with Person X yesterday. He offered to take all three of us to the festival this afternoon at the Convention Center, after we have lunch in Dupont Circle. Of course I accepted the offer!

Finally, back to Kamal. I told him last night that I wanted to see him today and asked him to call me as soon as he got up. We'll see what happens with that and see how it's going to work. I mean I'll be here until tomorrow afternoon so that could work out, somewhat.

That's the update from DC for now. I leave tomorrow afternoon and head back to Chicago. This weekend sure did go by fast!!! Tweet is performing this afternoon at the Convention Center and I truly am excited about that!!!

More later...

Departure Day!
Mood:  caffeinated
It's time to head off to DC. My flight leaves at 10:15 this morning from Midway. Barring delays, I should be in DC at 1:00pm Eastern Time (Noon here in Chicago). I'm excited, and can't wait to get there to relax for a few days. I'll share all aspects (and I do mean ALL aspects) while I'm there and when I get back, so stay tuned!!!

Tony challenged me to put up a Damn It Top Ten list. So I guess I should list my top ten favorite things (not in any particular order):

10. 3+ Day Weekends
9. A Sausage/Cheese stuffed pizza from Giordano's
8. A paycheck that I can hold on to for more than 2 days
7. A good freak session with my baby
6. My Car
5. Shopping at Aurora Outlet Mall (or Best Buy for that matter)
4. The view from my apartment
3. Church (especially MY church)
2. Lunch at Popeye's
1. MONEY
(this list is subject to change)

OK, back to the trip. I've already come up with a list of the clubs I wanna check out. Here's a short list:
Atlas Lizard
Omega DC
Cobalt
Edge/Wet

This is only a partial list. I plan on going to at least 6 or 7 clubs there this weekend. I figure if I hit two a night I can make the rounds before the end of the weekend. In addition, Tweet will be performing there this weekend! I know she's not as big as she used to be (or is she?), but the opportunity is enormous! Stay tuned!!!

Let me show you how trifling Sprint PCS is. I had a past-due balance that I blew off and was going to pay on the 31st. When I called them trying to do things the right way, this guy from collections tells me to hold on while he looks up some information, transfers me back into the main menu and then proceeds to turn my cell phone OFF. Ah, but don't worry, as I always have a back up plan. Needless to say it didn't stay off very long, and as of the time of this writing it is back in service.

Re'ale came over on yesterday so we could spend some time together before I left. He is going to miss me while I'm gone, but I told him that we would definitely stay in contact, and that I'd give him the number to the hotel (which won't really be necessary now since Sprint is back on) once I checked in and got the room number.

Vince wanted me to meet his co-workers today. Unfortunately seeing as I went to sleep at 2AM, got right back up at 5:45AM to move my car to a "legal" spot, and am preparing to fly for almost two hours, the odds of that happening are slim to none. Once I get to DC I'm going straight to the hotel, and going BACK TO SLEEP. I'll get up about 4:00pm DC time and get ready for dinner, then meet up with Vince at that point. This isn't the last trip to DC and I'm sure I'll meet up with Vince's co-workers on the next trip.

So that's about it for right now. It's 6:15AM, and I think I can lay back down for about 45 minutes before I get up and shower, and then hit the coffee...no I mean hit the door and get Starbucks on the way to the airport. According to my boarding pass (thank you ATA for allowing online check-in!) my boarding time is at 9:45AM, and I intend to be there on time for that. I will post another entry at some point when I land, check in and am able to get to a computer. May God bless all of you this Memorial Day Weekend, and I'll chat with you all later!!!

The DC Trip - Part 1
Topic: The DC Trip
Well I made it here yesterday afternoon. The flight was extremely smooth, hardly any turbulence at all. In fact it was kinda funny, there were two babies on the plane, one hardly cried at all, the other bawled and bawled as soon as the plane landed. Guess he didn't want to leave!

Anyhow checked into the hotel. It's a very nice hotel. The staff was very courteous, and very responsive to our needs. Vince met me at the hotel on yesterday afternoon, and he is as cute in person as he is in the picture. We went to the opening reception on yesterday and met Person X (names withheld to protect identity). Person X, Vince and I went and did some nighttime sightseeing (courtesy of Person X's vehicle - a Buick LeCrosse), took plenty of photos, then came back to the hotel to prepare to go to Omega DC and Bachelor's Mill. Before we leave the hotel for the clubs, Person X turned the keys over to me, and I got to drive HIS luxury car for the duration of the evening. We started at Omega DC, a two level type club. On the outside it truly looks like a seedy warehouse, but on the inside it's a totally different story. Unfortunately here it was somewhat segregated, as the white people stayed on one floor and the black people were on another floor, and rarely exchanged words with each other. (Note: Isn't this 2005?) Person X and myself played darts all night while Vince watched. Yes, Person X beat me 3 games to 2.

Then we went to Bachelor's Mill. I wasn't about to pay the $15 cover charge until Person X told me not to worry about it. He paid my cover, his, and Vince's. $45 in total. Bachelor's Mill kinda reminds me of a one story Prop House in Chicago, a big room with wanna-be dancers (and of course, your queens trying to vogue). Person X obviously had too much to drink at this point as he almost passed out at least twice. On the third time around I decided it was time for ALL of us to go. We head back to the car and he's staggering, to the point where I almost couldn't keep him walking. We get in the car and start back towards downtown DC. Everything was fine until about 5 minutes away from the hotel, Person X threw up. In the car. Without warning. At that point I'm barreling through DC streets like I do in Chicago, doing as star trek would say, "Warp 9". I had to pull over at least 3 more times before we got back to the hotel.

Finally, we make it back, and I tell Person X that he's NOT going anywhere that night, that he was going to sleep with us. Fortunately the King Size bed they gave me is big enough for three people, so we all slept in the same bed. Got my brownie points for helping people out tonight, for sure.

We got up this morning and Person X had some errands to do, so he left. Vince and i grabbed Starbucks and that was about all. Today I'm going to Pentagon City Mall and pretty much do a little light shopping. Tonight I have no idea as to what I want to do, heck I may even go back to Omega because I liked what I saw last night (and I love playing darts).

Oh I forgot to talk about the opening reception last night. IT WAS TIRED. Nothing but a whole bunch of queens and drag queens trying to vogue and stand and model. DC really is surprising me this year; these boys out here are acting like they are all that and most of them are not. I truly can't stand it when people just stare at you and not say anything. If you like what you see, OPEN YOUR MOUTH.

Well that's the update from DC thus far. Another update soon. Photos will be uploaded onto my website as soon as I get back. Stay tuned!!!

This Upcoming Weekend
Topic: Life
I see how this weekend is going to go. Click Here.

The above mentioned entry is from Vince's journal. We talked about my expectations for this weekend and such. Reading that entry it seems to me that his feelings for me have changed somewhat. It's all good though because I'm not going down there to get married or anything like that. I'm thinking, this weekend I need to initiate "Plan 1", sort of speak.

Tonight I'm going to see Re'ale. This will more than likely be the last day we see each other before I return from my vacation. He says that he's going to miss me and just romp around the house this weekend, but I'll be calling him this weekend to check on him. And yes I'll miss him while I'm gone.

More Later...

Tuesday Morning...
Topic: Life
Tuesday Morning.

Only 3 days until my trip to DC.

I read an interesting entry in Vince's weblog this morning. click here to read it. In my last entry I said that he really liked this other guy that lives in DC. He countered with this entry. (Note: When did blogging become a competition?) Bottom line is that I think Vince is cool but I'm not trying to get married. I'm just trying to have fun.

Speaking of fun, Re'ael came over yesterday. It had been several days since we had any type of quality time. So I hit it. I hit it hard. It was so good that it took his headache away. We started kissing almost as soon as he got in the door. Then we almost fall on the bed, still kissing. Clothes start going every which way, and as I find his spots with my tongue he starts talking to me in Spanish (which really gets me going by the way). Finally I enter him, work it for about a good 10 minutes before he tells me to stop because he couldn't take it anymore. So I take it out and we both climax. Then we go to sleep in each other's arms. (sigh)

Back to my associate that left me standing at Midway Airport on Saturday. Haven't heard from him since early Sunday morning. Like I said in my last entry, when I do get in his neck of the woods on Friday, I won't be in a big hurry to see him. There are certain things you do not do, and playing with a person like that (and then stop calling/texting them) is one of them.

Another Weekend Goes By...
Topic: Life
I finally heard from my so-called associate that left me standing at Midway on Saturday morning. He claims that he was in a car accident and couldn't call for hours and hours because he was in the hospital. Now while this may have happened I need proof because I have heard this EXACT line so many times over the years, and when you hear a lie so many times you want to see proof before you finally say "Ok I believe you".

This weekend Re'ael came with me to church. He looked like he truly enjoyed the service. I truly enjoy his company, he makes me feel really wonderful. Since he's graduating in 3 weeks I planned a special weekend for him. I reserved a suite at a Hilton in the suburbs, and we're going to have that, plus dinner and a movie. In other words, a nice romantic evening away from home - for both of us. I was joking with him because he likes to play with his cell phone a lot, and I told him "for this particular weekend, leave your cell phone at home", knowing full well he won't be doing that. :)

On to Vince. I've been reading his journal and it seems that he really likes this other guy that lives in his area. In all honesty that's what I'd been hoping for all along because I've had my share of long-distance relationships and not really rushing to do that again. Like I've said all along, this particular trip to DC this upcoming weekend is going to be one of rest and relaxation. No expectations at all. No long-term commitments, no weddings, no ties. Just FUN...especially since I haven't really had a vacation SINCE my last trip to DC.

Fake Ass Niggas That Wanna Be Your So-Called Friends
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: Niggas and Negroes
I truly hate being played with, especially extremely early in the morning.

Let me set the stage: Midway Airport, 7:30AM on a beautiful Saturday morning. Waiting for a buddy that was supposed to be flying in this morning. 7:45...nothing. 8:00? Nothing. Not answering phone calls, not coming through security. Finally, at 8:30, after numerous phone calls, pages and cups of coffee, I depart. Oh did I mention that it cost almost $5 to park at Midway for this failed adventure?

Moral of this story? First of all, please do NOT play with people, ESPECIALLY real early in the morning. You never know when you'll need them again. Secondly, NEVER try and screw a Gemini, because you'll end up being the one that's going to get screwed. Now as for my friend that decided not to show up this morning, I have a little surprise in store for him next week when I'm in his neck of the woods. All I'll say is that it won't be pleasant.

Time to catch up on some sleep. More later....

Kudos to Tony
Topic: Life
My friend Tony had something very interesting on his weblog this morning, and I thought I'd share it with everybody:

And while I have not forgotten about the Manifesto, here’s a brief excerpt on the whole this Down-Low bullshit. And that’s pretty much what it is, bullshit. Regardless of whether you’re straight, gay or bisexual and you are within a monogamous relationship, CHEATING IS WRONG. Doesn’t matter if your side piece is a dick, pussy or ass, DO NOT CHEAT. If your current situation is not working out have the common courtesy to say something to your partner/wife/husband and leave.

It’s really that simple, this is America people and the divorce rate is somewhere above 50%. A few more break ups won’t kill the country. But I can’t sit here and solely blame negros because the media really did instigate this down low issue and blew it out of proportion. Now the DL brothers are now responsible for high HIV statistics, cancer, female pattern baldness and drunk up all the red Kool-Aid. While I can’t the refute the numbers pumped out by the Center of Disease Control where one third of all gay black men are HIV positive, but I have a problem with constant villanizing the gay population. To spout a tired line, black people don’t see the doctor now, after chalking up gay black men as the new anti-Christ what makes people think that they’ll go for testing, counseling and follow ups. People should think before they start point fingers because soon or later those fingers will point back to themselves.

Did that last line sound like Jerry Springer’s Final Thought or what? On a semi-related note, I was somewhere, on some site reading comments which is what I do LURK, and I was sadden by the ignorance of one commentator. Their words exactly “These faggots need to stop killin’ and infecting the str8 females with HIV and go back to killing each other.” No, this wasn’t from GodHatesFag.com and I was upset because there’s a still a great deal of people who don’t know how this virus affects people. I have several close friends and associates who are LIVING with the virus, not out killing straight women or infect others. Being HIV positive is not a death sentence, I wish more people could see that.


I have to give Tony his props for this entry, because it's all true. I share his sentiments on the whole DL/HIV thing, because like I said before, it's all true.

And that's my 5 minutes on this topic. More later...

People, Part 2
Topic: Niggas and Negroes
I thought last night took the cake...nope, Twan gets second place in that category.

Isn't it amazing how people that you are not in a relationship with want to question you and act as if you are in a relationship with them? If there is no formal relationship established, then I have the freedom to do whatever I choose to do. Last time I checked I was an adult. Twan, do NOT question what I do with whom and where I do it! You are on the outside looking in. Keep your place.

All this stems from him inquiring to certain places I've been today, why I didn't call him in a speedy manner or respond to his text messages. Needless to say, Twan won't be making it to the bonus round. We got some nice parting gifts for him.

Now Playing: Piero Umiliani - Crepuscolo Sul Mare (Twilight on the Sea)
Topic: Niggas and Negroes
You know people will never cease to amaze me. I continue to think that I've seen it all but someone always pops up and shows me that they can top the cake.

Let's take Twan for instance. He comes over tonight with a fever of 102 and obviously coming down with some bug, but doesn't want to admit that he's sick and coming down with a bug. He changes his story at least twice, first saying it's "the stomach flu" then says it's "food poisoining". Bottom line is with a temperature of 102 (and as he put it it's gone as high as 104.5) he needs to immediately get lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids and see a doctor. His answer is coming over and possibly passing whatever it is on to me, thus making me sick, and so on. Needless to say he wasn't spending the night over here tonight.

Another person that takes the cake? Sylvester. Haven't heard from him in the longest and he finally pops up out of the woodwork this evening...called about 15 minutes ago at 12:20AM. Anyone will tell you that any calls that come in after midnight, except in cases of emergency, are BOOTYCALLS. No ifs, ands or buts about it. It's a work-night and you're calling someone at almost 12:30 in the morning to talk about nothing...or to see how they're doing? Yeah, right. And I'm Julia Roberts.

Only 12 days to go until my trip. It'll be good to see Al and Vince. Like I've said all along this year I'm going to truly have a good time, and nothing is going to stand in my way this time around.

Back to work tomorrow. More later...

Logs
Now Playing: Kem - Say - Kemistry
Topic: Tech Stuff
I made mention in a previous entry that I upgraded my website's security system, more specifically the IP address locater. Tonight I was just peeking through the logs and I'm impressed! You know people actually view this page from Colorado, Virginia, Massachusetts, and even Wisconsin! I had no idea that my website (more specifically my weblog) was that popular. I appreciate the opportunity to bring forth details about my life with everyone, especially certain individuals that told me to my face that I'd "never amount to anything". Well if I'll never amount to anything, then why are these people constantly reading my pages? Reading my weblog? Seems strange to me, but then again it doesn't. You know in anger the mouth will say a lot of things, even some things that we don't really mean to say - or some things that we didn't have the balls to say when things were a little cooler. Bottom line is that as soon as we realize we said something we shouldn't have said, foot goes into mouth. So let me make a public apology right now to all those people that I may have hurt in the past, including and especially someone living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. You know who you are.

Now, moving on to other events of today.

Two weeks (and one day) until my trip to Washington DC. Excited? Yup. Losing sleep over it? Not really, but it will feel good to get away for a while. I have a long list of activities lined up, and yes this year some of those activities does involve clubbing....lol Last year I didn't really enjoy myself because I fell ill, but this year even that won't stop me!

Transit Tales
Topic: Life
Honestly, traveling on the Chicago Transit Authority in the morning can be hilarious. Let's take this morning for instance.

Boarded a local #3 King Drive bus at my usual stop. It was an articulated bus, which means about 70 seats. The farebox was broken, which means free ride for everyone. Keep in mind it's raining, no one really wants to go to work and traffic is mildly affected. This has to be the slowest bus driver I have ever seen. It took 30 minutes to get from McCormick Place (2300 South) to Monroe and Michigan (100 South/100 East). Along the way the bus driver is literally ignoring the "Stop Request" signal, passing up people's bus stops. We get to 11th Street and an older lady pulls the cord. The bus driver slows down, prepares to stop, and then accelerates. The lady is pushing on the back door (which won't open) and yelling to the driver "open the door!! why won't you open the door?" The driver finally lets her off at 9th street.

While I'm on the subject of the driver, it makes no sense that this particular driver not only drove 15 miles an hour all the way downtown, but found it necessary to stop and talk to his supervisor for five minutes. In rush hour. On a major street. With angry passengers already late for work. This driver had a death wish.

Let's not forget the passengers that have no knowledge of how to deal with passengers trying to exit the bus. When you are forced to stand in the exit vestibule, and people are trying to use the exit door, common sense would dictate that the person either steps off the bus or gets out of the way. This caucasian man stood in the exit vestibule, and 7 people wanted to get off at Congress. This man DID NOT MOVE and expected everyone to GO AROUND HIM. Naturally, he got run over and literally pushed out of the way. Makes me feel as if I'm in New York.

Just think, the Chicago Trifling...oops, I mean Transit Authority is about to slash service by 30 percent and raise fares to unheard of levels.

The Two F's - Funny and Freaky
Topic: Life
I found this cool blog about CTA stories. Check it out for yourself by clicking here. It amazes me what type of stuff will happen on the city's transit system. Speaking of, the chairwoman of the Chicago Transit Authority has set up a blog answering questions about CTA, as well as the justification for preparing to raise fares and cut service (which is the same as gutting the CTA all together). You can see that blog by going to this link.

That was the funny stuff...now down to the freaky stuff.

Re'ael and I spent the past two evenings together. (No overnight visits except for the first one earlier in the week.) We've been talking, watching movies, and literally fucking like rabbits. The boy is not afraid of showing his freaky side...like today. For a big boy he can surely put his legs in some interesting positions, such as all the way up and all the way across. Talk about being flexible! He stretched his legs like that tonight while we were making out. We bumped and grinded for about a half-hour before we made me explode, and I him. Yesterday we had a repeat of last Sunday...only difference is this time we screwed for about an hour. The most romantic thing that happens when I have sex with Re'ael is that right after we climax and clean up, we fall asleep in each other's arms, and it feels so wonderful.

I haven't seen Twan since last Friday. He was supposed to come over last night but didn't because he got off work at about 1:00AM. Tonight I was hoping he'd come over but I haven't heard anything from him, save a text message he sent this afternoon in response to my inviting him over tonight. He said, quite basically, we'll c. In this race he just slid back to third.

Not sure if I talked about David. David is an attractive caucasian that hit me up on men4now, this website that I log onto for my "special moments". We met, talked, hit it off and it's apparent to me that he wants, very dearly, to be committed to someone. It can happen...only with time though. We're supposed to be hanging out on Thursday evening. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can truly hang out and get to know each other.

More later...

Bringing Stuff Forth - Part 2
Topic: Life
In my last entry, there was one name I neglected to put forth, Re'ale (pronounced ReAl). Re'ale is 6'4, 250 pounds and very attractive. We met off of the internet and have basically been hanging out for most of this weekend. He's 19, about to go to school and has a very wonderful heart. He's also pretty much as freaky as Twan. For instance this morning he was here (he spent the previous night with me, and it felt good, more later) and he absolutely loves to kiss. He's pretty damn good at it too, especially when he uses the tongue-ring that he's got...we pretty much explored every inch of each other's bodies, before I entered him. (If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a versatile brotha.) Being inside him felt absolutely wonderful. We went at it for about 20 minutes before climaxing. Then we fell back asleep in each other's arms.

Moving on, I talked to Twan this evening. We haven't seen each other all weekend because he's had to work. He did tell me that he is coming over tomorrow night...and that he's staying the night with me. I'm not gonna lie, I am craving Twan, very badly. I want a repeat of what happened the last time we were together. Just thinking about him taking control and being a nigga on his business makes me feel real good inside (and makes me really hard too).

Also spoke with Vince tonight. He's got me really kinda nervous about seeing him now because tonight he confessed to taking Ectasy. Now I'm concerned because the one thing I have a zero tolerance for is drugs. Weed is aiight, but Ectasy is way on another planet somewheres. I appreciate him telling me that but it makes me real leery.

A random note totally off-topic: I upgraded my IP tracking program on my webpage and weblog so now I can zero in on anyone that reads my journal, all the way down to their username on their server. Before I only had access to their server names but not anymore!

More later...

Bringing Stuff Forth
Now Playing: I'm Not Tired Yet - Mississippi Mass Choir
Topic: Life
OK tonight I get to bring some stuff forward. Some of this stuff might not be suitable for the younger crowd, so proceed with caution.

Let me just say this now: I'm a freak. A BIG freak. Yes I love sex and can't get enough of it. I guess that's one thing that some people that I've dated can say about me (among other things). There are some people in my life that I've messed around with, others that I would LOVE to mess around with, and some I wish I had NEVER messed around with. A good example of someone I have messed around with is Twan. Twan is very attractive, masculine, a big freak like me and knows EVERYTHING about me. (If you truly know me you know what I'm getting at.) Anyhow Twan comes over, we're watching TV and I truly can't resist him. Next thing you know clothes are going every which way and we're making hot passionate love all over the house. The boy truly has it going on! For the first time in a long time I felt good that night and let him do certain things that I wouldn't let the average person do, including my previous two ex's. I took him inside me, right before we exploded all over the place. Yes, being with him I also discovered my versatile side. After we finished we just laid there in the bed in each other's arms and drifted off to sleep. That is stuff that I miss, truly.

Let me not forget the fact that there is someone waiting for me in DC: Vince. Vince is a wonderful person and I await the opportunity to get to know him and to be with him. He's attractive, sweet, and quite possibly just as hot and freaky as I am. He's said several things over the past few days that's making me truly want him, such as the fact that each time I talk to him he gets hard and has explained in detail what he wants to do, such as this text message he sent me:
I like you. I want u to fuck me nice and hard.
All I can say is that I want to as well! If you were to see a photo of this person you would understand.

I guess some people would say I have an addiction to sex but I call it a passion for it. I guess some people would say I'm a hoe but we've all been a hoe at one point or another right? Sure people can say they love sex but not very many people can actually prove it.

I can.

Another Sunday Night
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Elle (Copyright Re-Edit) - DJ Gregory
Topic: Life
Just another Sunday. Nothing that exciting to report.

With the warmer weather approaching, it's time to figure out what to do for my birthday. So far it's a toss up between inviting all my friends/associates over and chillin out (having a get-together) or going out with my closest friends. I still have a month or so to decide, so we'll see.

Tony and I went out to the club on yesterday. We actually had fun. Saw a few people there that I knew and got a chance to see Tony get "affected"...it was quite funny. I got in about 3am and went to sleep. Got up today, kicked around the house and went to church. Now I'm sitting in the house, chillin out, getting ready to go back to the dungeon tomorrow. I guess I shouldn't call my job a dungeon, but I'm grateful for it, because so many people out there aren't working.

I've fallen in love with ITunes from Apple. 99 cents a clip; you can't beat that! I think I've spent about $10 downloading stuff (including the track I'm listening to now). I guess I can thank Tony for that too because he introduced me to it, and now I can't get enough of it.

Dinner's ready. More later...
