Surprise
He texted and wanted to meet for coffee. I threw a load in the washer and met him at the local coffee shop, figuring it was a better option than lazing around while my socks got laundered.
He is very sweet. Very. And treats me very well. His compliments are endearing, though I suck at accepting them.
I’m feeling pretty on-par about myself, thanks to our little rendezvous. And I thanked...

For Real?
Me: (parking the car)
Her: Hold up, boo. My boyfriend got a question to axe you.
Him: You drive here from Maine?
Me: Yup.
Him: For Real?
Me. Yup. For Real.

Tonight
A reconnection is in order. He is a man I’ve harbored feelings for. Sure, I harbor lots of feelings for different guys for different reasons. Polyamorous me approves of the various facets that these men provide in my life.
Tonight, it’s with a man I met last fall. We connect in a very grounded way. He makes me feel special, attractive, and relaxed. I don’t feel anxious, or...

Another Sign
I am getting near to the end of my ability to do this retail gig. My patience draws so thin these days, and it’s my outward expression of frustration that bothers me the most.
I’m a genial fella. I smile. A LOT. The face that I wear at work is not me, and I know this.
This kind of saddens me, but is also a healthy realization about my life and the direction I want it to go.

Not Buying It
Retail corporate visit bullshit has our store leaders in a tizzy.
I look at this dude coming to visit and see a person. No more, no less. I don’t buy into the genuflection and snobbery that comes from retail corporate execs.

Reset Again
Thanks to technology, I just wrapped up a chat with a young gay man in Iran.
He explained to me that the leaders over there kill gay people.
The app Scruff connects him to other gay men, but most of us (privileged enough to afford said technology, and probably live in a place that is more accepting of gay people) ignore him while he is on there.
I’m glad I didn’t. He thanked...

I'd rather...
…be back on that mountain.
For now, that feeling remains. The bliss. The connection. The clarity.
I swear, these mountains are saving my soul.

Andy
He’s busy packing, plotting this next big adventure in his life. He’s fallen for a fella in Phoenix, and watching him go through all of this, the smile on his face, the anticipation - its been inspiring.
Love IS real. It makes us human. It brings us to life.
It will be mine too, one day. Andy’s story, and his transition outta here is awesome to witness.

You can justify yourself all you want, but saying someone is “too ethnic for my tastes” is still racist.
And I have no time for any of that.

Watching the hottest couple at the bar, and all I see is love. It really makes me smile. Boys loving boys. All is as it should be.

Queer Power
Me: scrolling through Tumblr, checking out Scruff, liking GLBT posts on FB
The guy sitting next to me on the bus: (glances at my phone)
Me: Not caring one bit.
Him: (gets up and takes another seat)
Me: (grin and thinking "I love having a seat to myself)

From the Manifesto:
Being a man-loving-man was once a fascinating and radical adventure. Our peculiar predicament could inspire the the right boy a chance to live a better, more passionate, and original life. Dynamism, eroticism and mystique marked much of that nearly forgotten world. In the welter of late history, we have lost our way, straying from time-honored customs and traditions into...
