*Gasp*  I am posting an entry!

Yes it is my birthday today.  I am 31 and loving it! 

I do have a bunch of new photographs I have taken so you should be seeing more posts from me.  I didn’t take any photographs for over 2 months and it really took a toll on my creativity.  I just didn’t feel like posting anything much.  I am back in the swing of things now though so that is good.

Work is going great.  Still involved in all my old projects and starting a new one.  I leave early Wednesday morning for more training in Los Angeles.  So I am getting a free trip to LA during my birthday week.  I hope I see a bunch of my friends down there and we go out and have fun.

Dating has been interesting.  I have had lots of good and bad moments.  Busted a few lying asses along the way.  There are a plethora of liars, losers and cheaters around here.  I am seeing someone right now but I am not exactly sure what we are yet.  I keep referring to him as my “I am not sure if he is my boyfriend”.  We have only been seeing each other for 2 weeks now so I am not going to get ahead of myself.  I haven’t heard from him yet today (he is at work) but we are supposed to do something tonight for my birthday. 

There is way too much stuff to cover in one short entry.  Lots of strange emotional shit and I figured out a few things along the way.  Despite the bad stuff that happened it amazes me how much happier I get every single day.  I am doing so much better that for the first time in my life I stopped biting my nails without even consciously thinking about it.  I looked down one day and was like, “Wow!  I have nails.  When did that happen?”  Someone told me I must not be stressed out anymore.  If that is the case then I was stressed out my entire life.

I wish I could hand out a little of what I am feeling lately to people that are depressed because I know what it is like.  I know how it feels to truly be in despair.  It is like this horrible weight I have been carrying around all my life is gone.  I think it has helped that I am telling people how I feel about things more than I used to and I have distanced myself a lot from situations that made me unhappy.  You can’t change other people…you can only change yourself.

This was the proposition I was most worried about. It really really really pisses me off that it passed. I have never been more ashamed of my state than I am right now. I know lots of gay couples that were so damn happy to get married and now they just took it all away from them. I want to punch someone in the face right now. If I hear someone tell me that they voted yes for this prop I am going to have to be held back. I hope they get fucked in the ass with a dirty dildo wrapped in rusty barbed wire. Yeah yeah the people voted. Well the people are stupid redneck right wing religious fucknut assholes. This is NOT ok. And if any of you would have voted yes on this prop I kind of hate you at this point and you can go suck a horse cock.

This is a drawing I did back around 2002.  I wish I had a better/bigger scan of it.  I gave the picture away so there is no way for me to redo it.   I still haven’t taken any pictures since the end of August.  I do not know what is wrong with me.  I take the camera with me but I am just not seeing anything I want to take pictures of.  I have photographers block.

A lot has happened since I even hosted the Mr Entrecard Pageant.  I am no longer dating the guy that I was dating before.  We both decided we are better off as friends.  In fact last month when we were dating I helped him paint a room that he was putting up for rent.  He had some bites but everyone was being flaky.  So I finally said, “Why don’t I rent it from you?”  He liked the idea as well since I am already cool with his son and he knows I am not a flake. 

So I am moving there Sunday.  It is $250/mo for rent and utilities.  I can’t find a better deal anywhere.  It cuts a total of 1 hour off my daily commute time as well.  Yay!  So now I am sure instead of hearing stories about my boyfriend Derek you will be hearing stories about my roommate Derek.  LOL!

I have been going out a lot lately.  This time I am going to go out with a few people before I decide to get into a relationship with one of them.  I have been meeting some very very interesting people lately.  One guy is half Native American.  He owns a bunch of houses up here, teaches salsa dancing, scuba dives, does Native American bead work, plays guitar and drums, and does all kinds of other interesting things.  He played his guitar for me and sang.  Then he got me to join in.  It was fun. 

I also had a date with a woman who happens to know Derek.  We went to lunch yesterday and had a great time.  If anything I have a great new friend.  For those in my family that read this and did not realize I was bisexual…well, now you know.

I am talking to a few other people that seem interested in going out with me.  One of them happens to be a deputy district attorney who also has some interesting hobbies.  He wrestles (yes spandex wearing Hulk Hogan type wrestling) and he is also the coach for a local womens roller derby team. 

Another guy who is quite a bit older than me works in IT but also plays drums in a jazz/blues band.  The other day I was coming out of a coffee shop with my boss.  We passed a group of people and one of them looked familiar.  I couldn’t place it at the time but it turns out it was this guy.  I emailed him and asked.  Turns out he works about a block from me.

Speaking of work.  It is going really really well.  I had to make some changes to my program due to the way the economy is going.  Not as many people signing up for things right now.  I also got a few issues worked out when we met with the man who is going to design the booklet and other materials for it.  We were so on the same page about everything.  It didn’t hurt that he is a sweet piece of eye candy.   I had to force myself not to stare when were were in our meeting yesterday.  Turns out though that he is happily married to his beautiful wife and has beautiful children as well.  That doesn’t mean I won’t stare though.

I am sure there is more that I am missing here.  So much has been going on.  Oh!  I am also going to the Renfaire on Saturday if it doesn’t rain it out.  I am thinking that may get me back into the picture taking mode as well.  I always liked photographing the renfaire.  If not at least I get to see boobies in corsets.  You know that is why I go.

Yes folks it is the moment that you have been waiting for!  In some cases it is the moment you have been nagging me for.   Lets remind everyone what the winner is going to receive!

Links from Wisdom Hypnosis, The Realter, Lucent Dusk, Eyespi20, Travlin’ Show, My Reading Nook, and Inspire Emotion.

Ad spots from The Fitness Diva and Bad Evan.

An undetermined amount of credits from Amy Oops.  No I have no idea how many.  She just said she would “…throw in some ec credits.”  What?  You thought this was organized.  Hahahahahahahaha!  That is funny.

The best prize though will be the gloating rights you will receive.  I am sure that we will hear about quite a bit and within a couple of days want to smack the winner because his ego will be the size of Texas.

Before we announce the runners up and the winner I would like to thank everyone involved.  Debbie for starting us down and organizing this crazy trip.  The lovely judges for making the hard decisions.  The contestants for being such good sports.   You were all wonderful and I hope we do this every year.

Now on with the show!

You are shitting me right?  He won?  Oh god we are never going to hear the end of this.

Ahem, the winner is…

Ladies and Gentlemen we are back with the last two questions posed to our contestants.  I have decided to reveal the answers a bit early due to the fact that I am starting to spot a few sniper rifles in the audience. 

Here we go with question number seven!  Describe the talent would you have for pageant purposes?

Dolphin wrestling.

Is that what they are calling that now?

You know I shouldn’t be surprised what I find on the internet when I google “dolphin wrestling”.

I can do push-ups with my tongue.

Well, hello there! I would like a personal demonstration of said talent.  I have my own dressing room backstage so we will have plenty of privacy.

And I thought the dolphin thing was strange.

I would play ‘Popcorn’ on my face. You really gotta see it, it’s quite remarkable. As an encore, I would do a request – not ‘Stairway to Heaven’ though.

Freebird! *holds up lighter*

For those of you that do not know what Popcorn is watch the above video.  While not being played on someone’s face it is being played on Tesla Coils which is almost as cool.

Now we are on to the answers from BadEvan’s bonus question.  I will skip my own commentary and post what he had to say about the top answers he chose.

“If I were to send you flowers where would I…no, let me rephrase that. If I were to let you suck my tongue, would you be grateful?”

As an open minded and secure man, my answer is an unqualified, “Yes!” I do love tongues. And sucking. I love sucking, too.

Bad Evan: Somehow I knew you would be into the kink.

Yes I would. Don’t ask what your tongue can do for my tongue, ask what MY tongue can do for yours!

Bad Evan: I have high hopes for this…You better not let me down…Wisdom talks you know? (Wisdom here, NO SHE DOESN’T!)

Yes, I would be grateful, but I would have to say no… then sneak you to the closet and do it there.

Bad Evan: Listen babe, if we are going to the closet my tongue aint the only….

Thank you Bad Evan! 

Everyone stay tuned because the answer you have all been waiting for will be revealed tomorrow morning!!!!
