Silver Sage

What a weekend! I'm so tired and need another weekend just to rest. And the worst part was that Mr. Adam was away on a business trip. I missed him so much; but idle hands are the devils workshop. Aren't they?

Friday:

I got home from work at the usual time. Only this Friday I was going to do work. Paint my bathroom work. And I must tell you, it was more than I expected. So I emptied out the bathroom and removed all wall fixtures. Aye yai yai.

Saturday:

I got up early and went to the gym and then food shopping (per usual). Then I broke out the paintbrushes & rollers. White ceilings, white trim and fast. I had to have this done in time to greet Mr. Adam when he came home from his business trip. "I'm painting as fast as I can" I tell myself. So I'm figuring out slowly throughout the day that I'm going to have to compromise my expected finish time. This task is bigger than what I expected. I've yet to put color on the walls. Finally with two coats of my fabulous "spa like" white dried and ready to be taped over; I begin the walls. I'm sure you're thinking "what color did you pick Ryan Charisma?". I'll tell you. Silver Sage from Restoration Hardware. It's a lovely color. Masculine in a "spa like" manner. It went on in two coats and looks great. I my new bathroom but I found that after I cleaned up and reinstalled my shelves and belongings that I'm very late to meet Mr. Adam. About 4 hours behind. I'm sad I missed Mr. Adam's return, but I had to finish the job I started. I was so tired and Mr. Adam & I had made plans to go see Walk The Line with our friends Kenn & Joey. I finally made it to Mr. Adam's place by 7:30pm and our movie was at 9:30pm. What a great time; I was so happy to see Mr. Adam and the movie, I loved it. And I'm glad I saw it. I wouln't normally pick this movie but I really liked it.

But the highlight of my day truly was Mr. Adam being back in town ... hurray!

Sunday:

We slept in.

Hysterically Funny Actor

I love him. I've seen him in a million things and he's so damn funny. You may know him as Beverly Leslie on Will & Grace, but his real name is Leslie Jordan and he's been in many, many movies, television shows as well as theatre. Let's hear it for the funny people, for they sure make my life a little better every day in every way. I like to laugh; sometimes I even fancy myself funny. I even was paid to be a comedian for a few years back when I was in "Tony N' Tina's Wedding". How was I? Brilliant. But keep an eye out for Mr. Jordan - he's wickedly funny.

I Want A Woman!

Yes, you heard me right. Why can't we have a great president like this? I know, I know - it's fiction. But if you told me that the world would be in the state it is right now 5 years ago; I wouldn't have believed you. So why can't we have a president that really (in an honest, decent way) cares? I'm tired of the "lesser evil" of the candidates being the one I end up voting for. For a change, how about the best man/woman for the job? Wow there's a concept, I mean, he/she is ONLY running our country. And all the little stupid people that vote for Bush because he's rich, in the pocket of big business or worse...from Texas. You stupid people put Bush in - you clean up his mess. I'm gonna stick with Gina, she cares and is going to be fair and honest. And couldn't the country use a little honesty these days?

Cut Off Your What?

What a great movie. Mr. Adam & I went to go see this last Saturday night with our friend Evan. We really, really enjoyed it. The light comedy, road trip movie is in limited release right now; but I urge everyone to see felicity Huffman's Golden Globe winning performance. I have a rule, ask Mr. Adam: No movies after 10pm. But this one time I broke my rule to see the 10:15pm showing of the movie. Luckily for me, I don't even stick to my own rules; because I would have been upset to miss this excellent film. To be honest, I was somewhat hesitant to see a woman playing a trannie. I felt maybe a trannie actor/actress (whichever word would be appropriate) could have layered the proper amount of depth into the role, but Felicity was great. Super great! Now I'm not gonna get all wound up and tell you that this movie has opened my eyes and I understand trannsexuals. I simply don't. And this movie certainly didn't make me want to be one. I simply don't. What it did do though is give me a break from my life to laugh with someone whose life is "just as" if not "more" difficult than mine, whose family is "just as" if not "more" screwed up as mine. The movie connects on such a human level that the transexual issue at hand is secondary almost. Truly, go see it. If not in the theatres, rent it. You'll love it.

15 minutes - time's up

I can't explain why I can't stand him. But I can't. It's the same instinct that tells me not to drink soured milk or eat rancid mayonnaise. You just know it's bad. Why is America enamored by this bad gay. I'm sitting through his Golden Globe pre-show on E! and have one simple question. Why? Why hire him? He's attractive enough, but nothing special. His banter drones on at an uncomfortable cruise and his feeble attempts to throw us entertaining "quips" consistently falls short. Ryan Seacrest sucks and every time I see him I want to reach for the remote as if a sporting event or re-run of "saved by the bell" had just begun. I beg you Ryan Seacrest - retire, please?

bad gay, bad... no designer t-shirt for you.

A Brand New Day

Hey -
I've changed my mind again. I've found that my online-diary basically turned out to be a very edited (because some people didn't like what I had to say) version of me & my views. Also, that I wrote mostly when I was down, or shall we say "feeling fat". In addition, I didn't want to limit my writing to a "diary" per se. Yes, I do want to chronicle my life, times & adventures - but I got something to say. I'm an urban, gay male & I have a voice. It must be heard. Shouldn't it? So allow me to point my poison arrow straight at a horrible, awful injustice happening in New Jersey to a Ms. Laurel Hester. I find the whole situation troubling and horrific. Check it out.
