a buddy of mine has a work chum that he's known for over 25 years

this work chum is a gay man named stewart, and this man stewart is married to another man named stewart

stewart and stewart are a gay male couple who have, to all intents and purposes been married to each other for 25 years

they own a lovely home together in Toronto

they recently installed an inground swimming pool with cabana, landscaping, waterfalls, a hot tub and of course all the trimmings

my buddy wants me to come to one of stewart and stewarts' swimming pool/bbq soirees this summer

i think that i would like to go

i can't even imagine what their life must be like, so vicariously for like a couple of hours i will try to grasp a sense of it during the party

i have always dreamed of having a long term partner, someone who is there for 25 years with me, night after night - year after year - someone to talk to every night after work and go shopping with and go to the movies with or IKEA

i have always dreamed of having someone to care for and who cares for me

but it is only a dream

ciao

why am i not enjoying this one so much. 

Don't be dumb and eat a smoked salmon, cucumber and creme fraiche sandwich for dinner if you are on your way out to social activities later. I just did this and now I am off to sandblast the inside of my mouth so I don't fish-breathe all over everyone.

Running errands and taking it easy.

it is, fuck you know, yet another god - for saken weekend - so of course my thoughts, as always on weekends, turn to possibly, maybe, if there is a god in heaven, slightest chance god damn it, of maybe getting a smidgen of action, you know, i sorely fucking need it, and you know, it can happen, right?

anyway, i digress, but you know, as a single gay man living in the most fabulous city of TO, maybe I might get lucky at some point during the weekend

and what's with this weather, eh? it's like, middle of July and it's really fucking freezing outside, is this planet finishing now or what?

hopefully i will get some action this weekend or maybe next weekend, god permitting;-)

cheerio!

a quick question here

it just occurred to me, while having a crap, that over the years i've mercilessly hacked off chunks of my own soul to make most gracious and generous donations of portions of my soul to corporations for the kind benefit of shareholder interests and the like

so my question is this: how much of one's soul does one need remaining before one becomes a hollow, soul-less individual, I wonder?

that is all;-)

cheers:)

OMG

this video is awesome

think about the bears!!!

ciao;)

OMG

I fucking love this song

it's so fucking good LMAO!!!

ciao:-)

when we walked out of the theater last night this was what the sky looked like. clicky on the photo to go to the others taken. Clouds were in rareform last night.

why would you ever just write someone and say "Yumm"

fail

omg

harry potter. is very good BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE SEEN ALL THE PREVIOUS FILMS. dont start with this one.

you'll say..."WTF" often.

but that is what the books did. started right up where the last one left off.

Not my favorite. but by far the best "crafted".

reminds me a lot of the creativity in the third one.

d out.

A co-worker grabbed me by the FACE today.

"Tell me you're not sick," she said.

"I'm not sick," I said.

"Tell me that you're not losing any more weight," she said.

"Geez, I..."

"Tell me that you're NOT losing any more weight," she demanded.

"I'm not trying to lose any more weight," I said.

Which is half true. I'm not trying, but I'm still exercising almost daily, eating healthy, and slowly easing off the Metabolife.

I'm well past my initial goal, but I'm nowhere near unhealthy. I'm 166, which is hardly emaciated.

Full report laters.

And my editor just emailed me with the Wall Street Journal review of "Love is a Four-Letter Word" and I get mentioned. Which is kind of sweet.

1. Fear of flying therapy is annoying. I want a list of tasks to complete that will take away the phobia. Therapist refuses to provide that list. Planning on making my own list. I LIKE LISTS. (And no, I'm not going to quit going.)

2. Nursing homes, once you express actual interest in placing your parent in one of them and aren't simply "taking the tour," suddenly become all, "Well... IF we accept her and IF this meets our criteria and IF blahblahmeow." Suddenly they get all team-picky and turn it into a game of geriatric dodgeball.

3. moroccomole upgraded his iPhone and sold his old one on eBay. The turdface auction winner never contacted us back or paid. I have begun "resolution" with them to make sure they get a bad mark on their eBay permanent record. THEY WILL RUE THE DAY THEY DID NOT PAY.

4. Gays, I will DJ this Sunday night at the Eagle from 9pm until 1am. I promise that there will be no smooth song transitions unless it's on accident.

5. Reviews of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "(500) Days of Summer" are up now at Movies.com. All you need is the will to read them and the ability to go click on my face.

6. "Funny People," while I'm on the subject of movies, is really funny. Even though Adam Sandler is in it. Also it's nearly two and a half hours long. Buttocks alert.

7. Today I plan to plan my NYC museum and gallery visits. It's on my list of lists I have to make (see item # 1 above) I already have a long list of galleries and shows because I read the art magazines and go to blogs and whatnot, but does anyone in NYC have favorite galleries that show excellent stuff? I don't wanna see any chump bullshit. So think on it and report back please.

8. Are you watching the "Rotten Tomatoes" show on Current? (That's a cable channel.) You should because my husband is on it almost every week telling you about how "The Stoning of Soraya M." is dumb.

9. Oh good, I just discovered that "The Rotten Tomatoes Show" also streams on the current website. So suck it, cable providers that don't provide. And if you find yourself obsessed with my man, they even have back episodes on there, too:

10. Gotta make a big smoothie out of kale and chard today. A Taste-of-Lawn Shake.
