Meeting with CP to work on our mortgages in an hour; organizing things around the office until then.
Had an email note from Philip yesterday morning telling me that he'd be in a seminar downtown, and likely away from the apartment in the evening. Then, he didn't come home last night. Personally, I think he's getting his groove on with the girl he went to see on Saturday.
An interesting note from N8 yesterday; he resurfaced after having been totally in hiding since telling me that he wanted to explore his sexuality. Seems his parents' home has been foreclosed and all of his stuff is gone. While I sympathize with his situation, it does suggest that he REALLY went underground after busting loose with a revelation about his sexual fantasies. I mean, how could you miss being evicted?
Buying a desk today - it's in Dallas, and it won't come in for another couple of weeks when I go up there with a friend and a truck and pick it up. I'm trying to conceptualize how to arrange the furniture here in the den for the best arrangement.
I really need to get all of the office stuff into this one room, and have it readily accessible. I don't have time to work on that today, but this week.

Gay panic defensiveness
An interesting Sunday. Got up and my blood sugar was 343. Good lord, when will this abate!? Drove down to the church, got set up, finished outlining my presentation, did that whole thing. It was good.
On the way home, I resolved to have Ruby cleaned up. While there, there's a public internet terminal, so I checked my email. My client from Friday night had written to me .. let's just copy his message here, shall we?
"Hey man I need to ask you a question, But I do not intend to offend you at all.
When you hugged me goodbye yesterday you added that little extra grab at the end and it threw me off. I just want to know if you are gay. If you are not then I do not mean to make you mad it just seemed a little strange. It made me a little uncomfortable and I did not know what to think. If you are gay then that is cool too. I just want you to know that I am not and we can still be friends, visit, hang out, whatever.
Please do not get mad at me for this email. In my opinion friends say what it on their mind. Talk to you soon.
John"
Okay, so on the way out the door, I put my arm around his SHOULDERS and gave him a squeeze. Around the shoulders. Said "nice to see ya!"
That's it.
How do we get "I was rattled by that?"
Gay panic.
So, was it my behavior, or his interpretation that created this gay panic? Is it his own internalized homophobia? (yes, I'm saying he's a fag. He's so far back in the closet that he's hiding in a trap door behind the cedar.)
So, this afternoon, I'm working on getting some things done around the house. A quiet day. Have a packed up week lined up, so I need the time to get caught up and have some peace.
Ruby is driving like a champ. Mikey (after all of the people who said they'd help me do it) re-assembled the 1998 Buick website (which I purloined three years ago) and I intend to deploy it on the drdivo.com website (which is under major reconstruction.) I need to have the little niggly dings taken out of her, and have her thoroughly detailed and waxed (maybe next weekend, hmm?) And I have to have the stereo fixed.
I am four weeks from Philip's return to MSU and having my apartment empty again. He's been a nice man to have around - polite, very interesting, has lots of things to talk about that are engaging. He's so incredibly beautiful that it's unsettling.
When he leaves, I'm making some major revisions to the Casita here. First, I'm converting this den into a home OFFICE - taking down the bed. I'm going to then take my platform bed that I've been sleeping on 15 years (I bought it just before I met Jimmy) and I'm going to use the full sized mattress and box spring from this four poster bed, and buy a new (inexpensive) bed frame to use in the purple Divo bedroom. I'm then buying an old Steelcase type desk (from the 1950s, go figure) and re-arranging this den into a functional office.

Saturday night with Philip
Been talking to Philip tonight about different things; it seems that there is no likelihood of him returning to Houston after college; he hates the idea of working for a company where he has no self-expression. So, he's uncertain where he can find that, but he's pretty sure he's not going to find it in corporate America.
I'm sorry that he won't be coming back - I've really enjoyed his company. Interestingly enough, though, he's starting to act like a "boi" in that he's picking up after himself less and less, buying fewer groceries, etc.
It's probably in response to the full life support program offered here at the Casita de Divo, as opposed to anything else.
Got my diabetic "anti-medicine" book in the mail today - it's very, very interesting. I have to read it ASAP.

Deputy Doogie Dog
In the West, the Dog is man's best friend, but in Chinese Astrology this Sign is a little more unpredictable than that. Dogs are loyal, faithful and honest and always stick to their firm codes of ethics. However, this Sign has trouble trusting others. It's generally quite trustworthy itself -- except for the occasional "little white lies" the Dog tells in order to make things go more smoothly. The Dog makes a wonderful, discreet and loyal friend (despite any white lies) and is an excellent listener. This Sign tends to root for the underdog and its keen sense of right and wrong makes it duty-bound to the core. The Dog's mantra seems to be, Live right, look out for the little people and fight injustice whenever possible.
Dogs can also be rather dogmatic, too. They don't go in for light social banter; instead, they go straight for home, expostulating on the topics that are most important to them. At these times the Dog's narrow-minded or stubborn side can become apparent; this Sign has trouble staying light and calm when an important issue is at stake. This Sign can also be very temperamental; mood swings characterize its emotional life and often the Dog needs to run off to be alone in order to recuperate. Part of the problem is the result of this Sign's load of irrational fears that turn into niggling anxieties that turn into hurt feelings and occasional grouchiness. This sensitive Sign needs to warm up to others over time and gradually learn to trust them. Without that trust as a foundation, Dogs can be judgmental and coarse.
The Dog's discerning nature does make it an excellent business person, one who can turn that picky, guarded nature into a keen sense of the truth of another's motives. Where love is concerned, Dogs often have a tough time finding the right match. They can be so anxious and overwrought in the romance dance that they'll stress their partner to the max! In any forum, this Sign is happiest when able to be quite physically active; at home or at work, the Dog will always be constructing something new or cleaning something up in order to make things better. Dogs need to work on controlling their irrational worries and would also be well-served to relax their mile-high standards, which can sometimes wind up alienating the ones they love.
The most compatible match for a Dog is the Tiger or the Horse.

Tuesday that feels like Monday - ver. 2.01
This morning's blood sugar - 310. Still 200 points too high, but it's much better than the last few weeks, and it's 22 points lower than yesterday morning's reading.
In response to my New York Times article about there being no bisexual men, my dear friend Alma wrote me:
"Interesting. I’d always just assumed that there were some men who would just as soon stick it in a tree.
However, just to make thing a little more complex, read this: Dreg?er, Alice Domurat. (1999). Intersex in the Age of Ethics. University Publishing Group. One of the people interviewed doesn’t even identify him/herself clearly as either a man or a woman.
And if you really want to be infuriated about societal attitudes toward gender (assuming you can bump up your medication and avoid a stroke): try: Colapinto, John. (2000) As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl. Harper Collins
On the other hand, I’m fully prepared to believe that there are guys out there faking it to get their laundry and cooking done
Yours in utter cynicism,
Alma"
I just adore her.
So, I'm almost done logging, reading, returning, calling, setting appointments and the like. Time to clean up, and get ready for this afternoon's round of meetings.

Straight, Gay or Lying? Bisexuality Revisited
By BENEDICT CAREY
Some people are attracted to women; some are attracted to men. And some, if Sigmund Freud, Dr. Alfred Kinsey and millions of self-described bisexuals are to be believed, are drawn to both sexes.
But a new study casts doubt on whether true bisexuality exists, at least in men.
The study, by a team of psychologists in Chicago and Toronto, lends support to those who have long been skeptical that bisexuality is a distinct and stable sexual orientation.
People who claim bisexuality, according to these critics, are usually homosexual, but are ambivalent about their homosexuality or simply closeted. "You're either gay, straight or lying," as some gay men have put it.
In the new study, a team of psychologists directly measured genital arousal patterns in response to images of men and women. The psychologists found that men who identified themselves as bisexual were in fact exclusively aroused by either one sex or the other, usually by other men.
The study is the largest of several small reports suggesting that the estimated 1.7 percent of men who identify themselves as bisexual show physical attraction patterns that differ substantially from their professed desires.
"Research on sexual orientation has been based almost entirely on self-reports, and this is one of the few good studies using physiological measures," said Dr. Lisa Diamond, an associate professor of psychology and gender identity at the University of Utah, who was not involved in the study.
The discrepancy between what is happening in people's minds and what is going on in their bodies, she said, presents a puzzle "that the field now has to crack, and it raises this question about what we mean when we talk about desire."
"We have assumed that everyone means the same thing," she added, "but here we have evidence that that is not the case."
Several other researchers who have seen the study, scheduled to be published in the journal Psychological Science, said it would need to be repeated with larger numbers of bisexual men before clear conclusions could be drawn.
Bisexual desires are sometimes transient and they are still poorly understood. Men and women also appear to differ in the frequency of bisexual attractions. "The last thing you want," said Dr. Randall Sell, an assistant professor of clinical socio-medical sciences at Columbia University, "is for some therapists to see this study and start telling bisexual people that they're wrong, that they're really on their way to homosexuality."
He added, "We don't know nearly enough about sexual orientation and identity" to jump to these conclusions.
In the experiment, psychologists at Northwestern University and the Center for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto used advertisements in gay and alternative newspapers to recruit 101 young adult men. Thirty-three of the men identified themselves as bisexual, 30 as straight and 38 as homosexual.
The researchers asked the men about their sexual desires and rated them on a scale from 0 to 6 on sexual orientation, with 0 to 1 indicating heterosexuality, and 5 to 6 indicating homosexuality. Bisexuality was measured by scores in the middle range.
Seated alone in a laboratory room, the men then watched a series of erotic movies, some involving only women, others involving only men.
Using a sensor to monitor sexual arousal, the researchers found what they expected: gay men showed arousal to images of men and little arousal to images of women, and heterosexual men showed arousal to women but not to men.
But the men in the study who described themselves as bisexual did not have patterns of arousal that were consistent with their stated attraction to men and to women. Instead, about three-quarters of the group had arousal patterns identical to those of gay men; the rest were indistinguishable from heterosexuals.
"Regardless of whether the men were gay, straight or bisexual, they showed about four times more arousal" to one sex or the other, said Gerulf Rieger, a graduate psychology student at Northwestern and the study's lead author.
Although about a third of the men in each group showed no significant arousal watching the movies, their lack of response did not change the overall findings, Mr. Rieger said.
Since at least the middle of the 19th century, behavioral scientists have noted bisexual attraction in men and women and debated its place in the development of sexual identity. Some experts, like Freud, concluded that humans are naturally bisexual. In his landmark sex surveys of the 1940's, Dr. Alfred Kinsey found many married, publicly heterosexual men who reported having had sex with other men.
"Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual," Dr. Kinsey wrote. "The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats."
By the 1990's, Newsweek had featured bisexuality on its cover, bisexuals had formed advocacy groups and television series like "Sex and the City" had begun exploring bisexual themes.
Yet researchers were unable to produce direct evidence of bisexual arousal patterns in men, said Dr. J. Michael Bailey, a professor of psychology at Northwestern and the new study's senior author.
A 1979 study of 30 men found that those who identified themselves as bisexuals were indistinguishable from homosexuals on measures of arousal. Studies of gay and bisexual men in the 1990's showed that the two groups reported similar numbers of male sexual partners and risky sexual encounters. And a 1994 survey by The Advocate, the gay-oriented newsmagazine, found that, before identifying themselves as gay, 40 percent of gay men had described themselves as bisexual.
"I'm not denying that bisexual behavior exists," said Dr. Bailey, "but I am saying that in men there's no hint that true bisexual arousal exists, and that for men arousal is orientation."
But other researchers - and some self-identified bisexuals - say that the technique used in the study to measure genital arousal is too crude to capture the richness - erotic sensations, affection, admiration - that constitutes sexual attraction.
Social and emotional attraction are very important elements in bisexual attraction, said Dr. Fritz Klein, a sex researcher and the author of "The Bisexual Option."
"To claim on the basis of this study that there's no such thing as male bisexuality is overstepping, it seems to me," said Dr. Gilbert Herdt, director of the National Sexuality Resource Center in San Francisco. "It may be that there is a lot less true male bisexuality than we think, but if that's true then why in the world are there so many movies, novels and TV shows that have this as a theme - is it collective fantasy, merely a projection? I don't think so."
John Campbell, 36, a Web designer in Orange County, Calif., who describes himself as bisexual, also said he was skeptical of the findings.
Mr. Campbell said he had been strongly attracted to both sexes since he was sexually aware, although all his long-term relationships had been with women. "In my case I have been accused of being heterosexual, but I also feel a need for sex with men," he said.
Mr. Campbell rated his erotic attraction to men and women as about 50-50, but his emotional attraction, he said, was 90 to 10 in favor of women. "With men I can get aroused, I just don't feel the fireworks like I do with women," he said.
About 1.5 percent of American women identify themselves bisexual. And bisexuality appears easier to demonstrate in the female sex. A study published last November by the same team of Canadian and American researchers, for example, found that most women who said they were bisexual showed arousal to men and to women.
Although only a small number of women identify themselves as bisexual, Dr. Bailey said, bisexual arousal may for them in fact be the norm.
Researchers have little sense yet of how these differences may affect behavior, or sexual identity. In the mid-1990's, Dr. Diamond recruited a group of 90 women at gay pride parades, academic conferences on gender issues and other venues. About half of the women called themselves lesbians, a third identified as bisexual and the rest claimed no sexual orientation. In follow-up interviews over the last 10 years, Dr. Diamond has found that most of these women have had relationships both with men and women.
"Most of them seem to lean one way or the other, but that doesn't preclude them from having a relationship with the nonpreferred sex," she said. "You may be mostly interested in women but, hey, the guy who delivers the pizza is really hot, and what are you going to do?"
"There's a whole lot of movement and flexibility," Dr. Diamond added. "The fact is, we have very little research in this area, and a lot to learn."

Monday, Monday ver. 633.01
Happy National Delusional Day! With fireworks! You could also call it "Happy Values That We No Longer Observe Day!
Slept in, slept a lot, felt better, got most of my computer work done, baked bread, still way behind the curve as to what I have intended to accomplish, having been sick all day Sunday.
Note to file: If you're going to get sick, go to St. Joseph's emergency room. They're fabulous.
E is back home, Sean is stuck in B'sville with PJ, Mikey's celebrating the departure of TRB (episode 16,) and I have a fully jam packed week lined up. Have calls and documents to make up tomorrow, then three meetings back to back, and class tomorrow night.
Have to scrape up the money to see the doctor; at the ER Saturday night, the doctor asked a bazillion questions about why my blood chemistry was so far off .. was I doing drugs, gaining weight, changed eating/sleeping patterns? Stress? Mikey busted out laughing. Uh, yeah. Stress.
Anyway, we'll see what gets done this week.

Four Hundred Seventy-Nine
Four Hundred Seventy-Nine. If only that signified some achievement, rather than the sword of damacles hanging over my head.
I'm trying to get work done and not think about my situation. Not like I don't have anything ELSE to keep my brain busy with.
I hate fighting wars. They suck. This time, I've had to go thermonuclear. What's been fun, though, is that the PI that I had to hire has found out some MOST amusing and unusual information, which is very helpful for me. Who knew that one could learn so much about asset transfers and Nevada corporations, just by hiring the right PI?
He's a great guy, too. Handsome as all get-out.
I'm trying to get work done and not think about my situation. Not like I don't have anything ELSE to keep my brain busy with.
I hate fighting wars. They suck. This time, I've had to go thermonuclear. What's been fun, though, is that the PI that I had to hire has found out some MOST amusing and unusual information, which is very helpful for me. Who knew that one could learn so much about asset transfers and Nevada corporations, just by hiring the right PI?

Monday, Monday ver. 632.01
Well, things are slowly coming together this morning. This is the first day in a week that I've had to work in the [home] office, so I'm feeling behind, although I've missed no deadlines.
I need to get cleaned up, go pick up a book, refill the water jugs and get out of the house for a bit. I also need to make some phone calls here about the mortgage business. Re-working old forms, trying to make old contacts come back alive, trying to regain my full facility for everything.
Teaching the mortgage classes has really focused my knowledge - the last three years (two hardly working and one not working) in mortgage has slowed my facility down somewhat.
Hoping that UHCL fails to pay me within the statutory time period.
Judy is voting with her passive/aggressive behavior in favor of my being blind and handicapped. Got to love that. She's SUCH a liar.
Okay, more work has to happen here.

Sunday eve - after a draught of unprecedented proportions
Sunday evening, and the living room is populated with the Pistons/Spurs game. Philip and I just watched "The Weather Underground," which was fascinating and compelling, and he made pasta. Sean left for his uncle's place today, and I spent most of my day with the nice folks at New Vision.
Another busy weekend. Watched a bunch of movies on DVD with Philip and the Child, taught a class all day Saturday, cleaned up around the house, cooked a bunch, drove hither and yon.
Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking. Found a house I love. Have a ton of work to do this week, plus have some different things that need taking care of - have to have my shocks installed, for instance.

Hump Day Contemplations
Have a lot on my mind today - a LOT. Spent a lot of time meditating today after my telephone conversation with my Aunt Liz last night. I've been thinking about all of the situations in my life where someone has promised me that they would do something that would benefit me, and then they don't do. All of the employment situations, all of the arrangements with my family (going to college, buying real estate together, etc.) All of the agreements I've made with myself.
I have been looking at my time in Landmark nine years ago (ish) and thinking about how easily I made things happen back then in certain areas of life. Not uniformly, but just where it wasn't going to dramatically improve my own life. That's pretty much gone again.
I've also been looking at my own patterns - like having repeatedly offered to let some young man stay with me here in my apartment. It's not about seeking love, it's about giving myself an excuse to not have to accomplish anything, and to validate my own story about people not supporting me, or something along those lines.
I was trying to explain the basics of double-entry book keeping last night, and it was TOUGH to do. It's hard to understand by myself, having not studied accounting theory.
Michael McLemore called Sunday night - he's coming into town on Saturday and will be staying here. (rolls eyes) Part of me feels like fucking the snot out of him just to be mean. Part of me want to tell him to find another idiot to host him. Well, most of me wants to do that.
Judy's son comes in on Thursday for the weekend - goes to his Uncle's in Baytown on Sunday afternoon next week. So, I have a week before his arrival. God, I have NO idea what is going to develop with that visit.
Been spending a lot of time thinking about this pattern of mine of moving boys in - I think I've concluded that it's more of giving myself an excuse NOT to perform in my own life, and less trying to gain someone's attention and confidence. I've decided that, when Philip goes back to MSU, I'm going to a.) take my platform bed (that I bought for myself and for that Hispanic bastard back when you lived on Stroud) and donate the platform frame etc. to the resale shop, b.) knock down the bed in this "guest" room, and c.) buy a full sized bed frame for the mattress/foundation set in here, and put it into my room. Then, I'm buying a desk. I'm going to convert this room into a damned office. I have a fold out cot, should I really really need it, but, this is a ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT. Bleh.

Thunder Humper
Waking up this morning, the sky was green - it reminded me of childhood days in western Michigan, when the sky would become an angry light green, portending tornado weather. We've had enough precipitation to wet the ground and create some standing water, but no torrential downpours. Yet.
Having a great time reconciling bank statements .. yes, it CAN be fun! I've just asked the client for the 2004 statements (I want the register balance to reflect what the bank actually has in it.)

Tuesday that feels like Monday
Went to the real estate school this morning to teach - and the class didn't make enrollment. That's the second time in a month that they've done this to me.
I'm enjoying this class, but I wish it were meatier. And, I'm seeing the need for a consultancy to mortgage brokers - most of them haven't a clue how these regulations are going to affect their business long-term.
Maybe I'll talk to the owner of the school about that.

Memorializing Memorial Day
The pool party is over, and the jell-o shots are gone! Check out the pictures here -
Today, I've been snoozing, relaxing, doing some light housework and such. Made Philip some waffles this morning - that poor boy never had waffles that required having the egg whites whipped first. We watched the 1987 movie "The Lost Boys" - wow, how 80's that was! Next, we're headed to the Angelika to watch "Crash," and then to Lance & Steve's for dinner.
Teaching tomorrow (whoop!) and then, allegedly, a dinner date with Jayce.
Made brunch yesterday for the boys from Dallas, Mikey, Curt and Philip - bloodies, followed by mimosa and cinnamon rolls, then omelettes .. and of course, gallons of coffee. After recovering from that, I then dragged Philip up to Donna and Paul's for lots and LOTS of conversation and dinner. We hung out there until nearly 11 - and had a great time.
Now, the child is on the phone telling me about his week with PJ and his grandparents. What a day!

Thursday evening - red dirt and broken hearts
The dishwasher's going, Philip's at a concert of some monochromatic scale band (they sing songs all on the same note) and I've just finished watching "Red Dirt." Again. And, it made me cry again, but not as much as the first time I watched it.
Got a number of things done today, including making another 60 jell-o shots. Or thereabouts. More jell-o is needed for tomorrow.
Not a peep out of N8 the drunk, would be bisexual.
Tomorrow's going to be busy, well, steady. Weekend should be interesting.
I'm already tired! I guess I'll walk the dogs and hit the sack.

Happy Hump Day
and what a hump day it's been already.
I woke at about 3:30 this morning having a weird, weird dream. It was about men and women I didn't know, having sex with this ethereal white dildo .. bizarre. So, I woke up from that and ..
had a flashback.
BIG flashback to 1960 or thereabouts. Suddenly, all kinds of things in my life and in my psyche became clear. It was like I had just gotten the center piece to the jigsaw puzzle, and as it clicked into place, all kinds of things I've been working on for years started to make sense. Elements of my personality and self-beliefs all suddenly fit, and their unworkability with who I am really had them all fall away.
Or start to.
Success, money, opportunity, accomplishment, men, dating, relationships, betrayal, my body image, sexuality, sexual behaviors, everything ..
So, I lay there processing away for about two hours. At 5:30, I decided I'd get up when Philip got up (6:00) and take the dogs out, make coffee (which he doesn't get on the way to work) and get started on all of the work that I have backlogged here. I laid out my whole morning, and was feeling very good about all of it.
And, at 5:50, N8 called. I haven't heard from N8 in a while - haven't seen him since New Year's Day when he came over all drunk. He says "I sent you some provocative gay emails this morning."
Given that another student had recently gone off on me about homosexuality being the root of all evil, I wasn't sure if this meant that he was interested or on the attack. So, I asked.
He's interested. He wants me to drive down to south of NASA and pick him up. He's drunk. Drunk, drunk, drunk.
And, he's a messy handful when he's drunk.
So, I saw Philip off. I made the bed. Did some secretary of state filing stuff for the church online. Wrote up the church minutes. Answered emails. Did my online banking. Took a shower. Made another cup of coffee. And thought .. well, he's hot, and he's smart, and he's nice to be around, but .. drunk?
I'd rather feel accomplished.

Monday, Monday ver. 632.01
Ah, a day at my computer - the first day in more than a week. I've been busting my butt working away from home for the last week and a half, and dealing with Jason's drama and moving the new sub-tenant in.
Jason came last night and picked up ALL of his stuff. It's all gone, he's gone, and I met his new benefactor. This time, a woman in her late 30s - you can see it written all over her that she has it for him BAD.
I was thinking of engaging him in conversation about it today (her falling for him so hard) but then, I thought .. why? It's for him to figure out, and her to deal with. It's clear to me that he uses charm, sexual potency and flirtation to survive, and that he'll be in his 50s, still pursuing a life of partying and finding the next person to live with.
The bedding is in the washer, all of the drawers and cabinets are pulled open, and the fogger is at work.
I guess the next thing that I should do is figure out WHY my printer is suddenly not working. After that, emails and faxes need go out. More later!

Funky Humpy day
Showed up for class this morning - didn't make enrollment and CXLD. Then, a call from UHCL - same story for my LSAT class.
Of course, they don't PUBLICIZE the LSAT class, so no one knows it's going on. How do they expect there to be enrollment when there's no knowledge on the part of the world that we're doing it?
So, I've told them "no more LSAT classes." I'm just not going to schedule these things to have them repeatedly cancelled 48 hours before the class is to "go up."
I think I need to get away from this "all work, all the time" schedule, where there is no time that's set aside to just hang out. I think it's affecting my overall productivity.
I'm working on PJ's documents she wants. I can't find anything directly on point to plagiarze. Which sucks. She didn't send me my FedEx. She claims she dropped it last night "after seven," which pretty much means she hasn't sent it at ALL.
The boy just called; I haven't heard from him in two days.

Tuesday - BD day
It's all about business development today. Still waiting for my renewal of my mortgage loan officer license to come together - just a few more things to put in place.
Have to work with CP on this idea for a mortgage shop. It's interesting. Everyone's eager for me to re-enter the business AND that I do so in a better environment.

A Jason-ic update
He's a stripper at my bar that I go to all the time. About a month ago (tomorrow, in fact) he came over to "hang out" for a while. He just hasn't left, and all of his stuff has moved in. Mostly.
He works four nights a week stripping; comes home at dawn all .. Whatever .. Sleeps all day. Has tons of hooker drama that he talks about incessantly. He doesn't contribute to food or shelter, only started helping me clean up around here in the last few days, and stopped asking me for money a week ago after I complained VERY sharply about it.
We've not had sex at all. He'll invite me to hold him and touch him by flopping into bed with me some mornings (such as this morning) and he's getting very kissy, but that's it.
He asserts he's straight.
Last night at the bar, I was out with my friends Mikey and Curt, and Jason (the boy) was hanging around me until the minute it was time for him to go out on stage and work. Fully clothed; the other dancers were working the bar patrons mostly naked. He was demanding my attention; usually in the past he's said hello or a few things, then gone back to orbiting the bar undressed to make money.
Last night, he insisted I come watch him strip; we hiked over to the stage (we were outside) and he left the stage to come into the audience just once - to come up to hug on me. He's either claiming his territory or something; he's making it plain that he's with me there in the bar.
But, he's straight. He'll tell anyone that. Especially me.
So, I have someone living in my house that contributes nothing, but is generally very nice to me. He's involved in the bar life and all of its drama, and I'm getting nothing done (I'm self-employed and work from home.) Thus .. Decisions must be reached.
And, I've rented out "his" room - starting this next Friday. I haven't told him yet; I'll broach that subject tomorrow.
Fun, huh?
Tonight, we went to Curt's house for barbecue - Jason was very cranky all the way down there (Mikey woke him up to get in the car) but when my buddy Joseph showed up (very VERY hot Hispanic man, muscle bear, loves me) Jason started to move to protect his territory again. It was so obvious that Mikey was cracking up.

Friday - sunshine and Fabulousness
Awoke with no "boy" in residence; not much of a surprise, considering how much Cinco de Mayo celebrating was done yesterday.
I started cleaning out this room (even further) in anticipation of Philip's arrival in a week; I actually pulled out the mass o'pictures (that should have been put into the picture BOXES aeons ago) and started going through them. I moved the cataloged magazines off of the top of the dresser, etc., etc.
Did some reading about the Amex Centurion card last night. I want one.
Chuck is on his way to do some work on the Fabulair site. Then, I guess it's a divo-ghetti night, and Mikey and I are scheduled to do the pub crawl.

Sinko de Mayo
Yeah, it's an old joke.
I have just finished baking bread, and am waiting for Trevor to come by. Then, I have to zip over to meet Nicole and Nancy for dinner somewhere just west of Pflugerville, I think. Why they picked something so far out is beyond me.
The boy is over at the Thirsty Cactus having a margarita. He just invited me to come and join him; I could have fainted from shock. Not his usual MO.
Haven't started reading the book yet. Maybe tonight.
Chuck says he'll have the fabulair reservations booking engine loaded up tonight. That will be a big relief for me.

Monday, Monday ver. 631.01
Okay, so I've been tidying up, putting things away and such. I've cleaned the fridge. No coffee today, and no splenda. No cola products. No sugar. Tea and water.
Lance wants to run somewhere in about an hour; so I have to get ready to go. Then, I suppose having my homework done for tonight would be a great idea. Dusting, cleaning the ceiling fans and such would also be a good idea.
I cleaned out the flower pots on the patio this morning, and moved them around - I'm getting them ready to put STUFF in them, and to plant some rose bushes, which I've been thinking about a long while. Found some websites that detail how to plant roses in Houston, and what works best. The #1 rose someone mentions for Houston is .. the Chrysler Imperial. That made me smile.
But, I doubt that they'll be easy to find at Wal-Mart.
Class this weekend was very very interesting - I created (for myself) an income/credit score project to buy a townhouse in this neighborhood in Feburary, when this lease is up. Click here to see the kind of townhouse I'm thinking of.
I really need to get Ruby's shock absorbers replaced. Urf. Her inspection is due this month, so I guess I'll get Poutous to do it when they inspect her for me.
And, it looks as if the only thing to do about the stereo is to TAKE it somewhere.

Say "Good Night," Irene
Had dinner at Lance & Steve's tonight - amazing food (as always) but there was so much pollen in the air that I was feeling the fire in my nasal passages and throat. It's just amazing - I've been suffering from this for more than a month. I'm sore everywhere in my upper body from coughing so much.
Jason, of course, called about five minutes AFTER I had left for L&S's house. He asked when I was going to be home, and when I arrived home precisely on the advertised, he had me locked out with the deadbolt.
Of course.
You know where the rest of this story goes. He was busy inside having sex with a girl (a fat one, too) and blah, blah, blah.
I had asked him specifically to NEVER bring someone over to my apartment when I wasn't here. Of course, that doesn't mean anything. I feel quite sure that others were brought over here while I was in Vancouver.
Anyway, after I walked the dogs, he had gotten dressed, and he and she "went to the store." Uh-huh. I locked the door behind him, he doesn't have a key with him, and he can come pick his shit up tomorrow or whenever. ENOUGH.

The Lord's Day - Oh, Lord
I can really see what Cassandra was saying about Jason - it's not that HE is himself malicious or bad; he's just so commanding of attention that he's all I focus on; so, no business is getting done at all. Last night, while I half-slept, angry with myself and wondering if he was coming home (no surprise; he didn't) I took away from my effectiveness some more.
Anyway, it's time to get cleaned up and head out. He yet hasn't found his key to the apartment; he asked me to put the dog walk key in one of the plant pots, which I don't feel like doing. So, do I "forget?" Or, will I actually forget?

Being thoroughly amused while utterly unamused
Tonight, I was snoozing on the sofa after class, expecting not to hear from/see Jason until about .. oh, 6:00 a.m. Just before he strolls in the door (early - 5:30) I was having this bizarre dream; I was at a family reunion at my first cousin Joe's house in Bay City Michigan (I think) .. none of our parents were there, but we were (the cousins) all much younger than we are now. He has a big house on the St. (something) River that flows into Lake Huron; it's very beautiful. So, there are all these unfamiliar people there, and I'm standing on this deck with my sister and my cousin Paul. It's dusk, and I notice this HUGE gray shape materializing out of the fog; it starts getting closer and I exclaim "oh, my God! It's the Japanese cruiser (insert correct name of cruiser here - the thing was sunk at Midway, I think.) It's cruising (what a shock) silently up the river, and it pulls up abreast of the deck in the middle of the river, and I notice that behind it is the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku (the fifth carrier in the Pearl Harbor raid; sunk at the Battle of Leyete Gulf in 1944) ..
Then, I wake up wondering what the heck THAT meant.
So, Jason strolls in the door - he was supposed to be at a friend's wedding, and he's still wearing what he had on this morning at 9:00 when I dropped him off at his brother's house. He says he couldn't find a ride over there. The reception is at 7:00; did I want to go with him? So, then we have the shoe drama - he doesn't have his dress shoes, because they're in the bag in someone's trunk that he was supposed to have a ride home with this morning after work, which he missed because he was doing whatever he was doing until 5:30 this morning.
Therefore I have to drive him to his ex-girlfriend's mother's apartment to pick up some clothes, which takes 90 minutes to and fro, and then we go to the whitest white-bread wedding party I've EVER seen. It's at Brady's Landing in Pasadena, and the groom is one of Jason's high school friends. All of his friends (who were there) attended A&M, most for engineering, and they LOOKED THE PART. Of course, I know no one there. He's introducing me as his "friend." Innocuous. One guy asks "are you the guy with the Porsche?" Uh, no. I drive a Buick.
The DJ should have been included in that last Republican lynch mob that went through town, and I sat on a draped, bow-tied folding chair watching people in clothing that was WAY too tight clomp around on the dance floor. So, I whipped out my handy-dandy all-purpose playtoy (my phone) and commenced to amusing myself.
Message from E - "where is this sea of overly white people, D?"
Message from me "North Grand Ballroom, Brady's Landing, on the ship channel, Pasadena, Texas."
Message from E - "we don't get the ship channel here in YVR, D."
Seriously funny stuff. Jason never gets very far or very long away, he spends most of his time talking about everyone with me. He looked GREAT (of course.) It seemed to me that he was having a difficult time feeling like he was part of the group; they're all college graduates, all have responsible jobs, most making great money. All have girlfriends or wives.
At 11:00, the party breaks up, and the group (sans bride & groom) head downtown to enjoy the elevated nightlife therein. So, Jason asks if I want to come with them. I demur, inasmuch as I have to be up in six hours to get ready for my class. So, I'm driving him to Cabo (a painfully heterosexual experience) and he asks me if I can give him forty bucks, as he's going to be short.
Mind you, this was the SECOND cash call today; the first being this morning at 6:15 after he had lost his (my) house key, awakened me to open the door for him, flopped onto my bed and snuggled a while.
m-a-n-i-p-u-l-a-t-i-o-n.
I said nothing this morning; I gave him $20 tonight and now I'm PISSED. At myself, of course.
So, I want to know why it's appropriate for him to Lynch me (Mikey will get that joke) And, I'm going to ask him (Jason) directly, why I'm getting Lynched. I'm not willing to pay for companionship that I also have to feed and house.
I hope that the book Cassandra had me order arrives soon.

Mikey is just DYING to know what happened that
should be in this post. However, he's going to have to wait until tomorrow night to find out.
Thursday -
I've been up for more than two hours - my security alarm started going catawampus around 4:45, and I couldn't get it to stop. So, I'm doing laundry, doing other stuff, and figuring out what I have going on here.
It seems that less is going on than I had at first thought.
The boy didn't come home last night; I'm not calling him anymore.

What Guy wrote about me -
I met Divo at a gay.com coffee. Soon after we both found out that we have devotion to aviation that would rival that of the pope unto Jesus Christ. The more I get to know Doug, the more I like him. He is, though by transplant, a southern gentleman in the truest meaning. He can insult someone and make it sound as if they were the greatest person in his eyes. This is the true test of a southern gentleman. With a tip of his intellectual hat he moves on and only those that know him best will know what’s happened, and we keep our mouths shut.
He shares many of my most hard and fast beliefs:
Vodka goes with tonic in a tall glass.
A bottle of wine is only opened once and finished in one sitting.
If it is between getting on a plane and flying to Phuket or paying the car note…well Phuket, naturally.
Barnaby’s
If you know why, raise your glass to Ship 014. If not leave this one to The Divo and myself.

Long, but worth thinking about
So, here is the list of the CEO's in the US that made between $1MM and $5MM last year - only those. If they gave 1% of their income to benefit homelessness, drug addiction and other social causes, it would exceed the Federal government's funding for all of these programs. THIS is trickle down economics!!
Fair pay and compensation are one thing, Greed and reaping excessive pay and then claiming 'we cannot compete', is pure bunk. Not one of these people are worth the comp. package they recieve. But then again, who said any major league ball player would be worth morth than Mickey Mantle. Is their a ball player of that caliber? The total pay package for these few CEO's is a total package worth $1,897,990,988.00. How many workers would be removed from unmemployment if these wages were reduced and American citizens allowed to work. Which would generate a better tax base to communities? This singular example demonstrates a fundamental flaw in the notion of corporate loss and the need to shift work for lower wages to cheap labor nations such as China, South Asia and such places as Haiti, Dominican Republic, South and Central America.
This is only a partial list that covers between 1 and 5 million. The list was to long to put them all on.

Fair pay and compensation are one thing, Greed and reaping excessive pay and then claiming 'we cannot compete', is pure bunk. Not one of these people are worth the comp. package they recieve. But then again, who said any major league ball player would be worth morth than Mickey Mantle. Is their a ball player of that caliber? The total pay package for these few CEO's is a total package worth $1,897,990,988.00. How many workers would be removed from unmemployment if these wages were reduced and American citizens allowed to work. Which would generate a better tax base to communities? This singular example demonstrates a fundamental flaw in the notion of corporate loss and the need to shift work for lower wages to cheap labor nations such as China, South Asia and such places as Haiti, Dominican Republic, South and Central America.
This is only a partial list that covers between 1 and 5 million. The list was to long to put them all on.

No, you can't have another chance
This just sent to membership@hrc.org:
You spend 46% of your funds raised on FUND RAISING. Unacceptable.
You supported Alfonse D'Amato for re-election
Your new president called for dialogue with the new Pope. You're existing on another planet. I am not interested in funding hope trips.
You spend less than 10% of your funds raised actually influencing legislation
You have made yourselves irrelevant in the political world; the LCR has more credibility than you do
You'd do better giving away your assets to the Task Force and sticking to throwing parties.
You spend 46% of your funds raised on FUND RAISING. Unacceptable.

Your new president called for dialogue with the new Pope. You're existing on another planet. I am not interested in funding hope trips.
You spend less than 10% of your funds raised actually influencing legislation
You have made yourselves irrelevant in the political world; the LCR has more credibility than you do
You'd do better giving away your assets to the Task Force and sticking to throwing parties.

Ask and ye shall receive
Carol the dog sitter just called; she told me that on Sunday afternoon, the boy was sitting ont he sofa with "the girlfriend" as she put it.
So, who cares if he and I have anything to talk about? It's all based on falsehood. No big surprise there, huh?

Monty returns
E and I walked over to the Safeway to pick up some foodage for dinner, and we saw Monty and his boyfriend chatting up some other VERY fey couple on the street. Monte was VERY flirtatious again, and his boyfriend is .. hard to read. I give them less than a month.
Monty wants to come to Southern Decadance. If he did, he's the kind who would be arriving for the first cocktail, and then vanishing until it's time to catch the plane back home. Sean says he wants to go, but I am not believing THAT unless it happens, and I doubt that the boy will want to go, unless .. well, let's just not discuss that right now, shall we?
Mikey is starting his own business, which is a good thing. Ryan called yesterday, I MUST hop on that project, as it bears some substantial possibilities.
Yesterday, at the Smart shop (which is a Mercedes store) I spent some time playing around inside of a CLS500, which E said looked just like a Taurus. Today, while I was snoozifying, E saw a Bentley Continental GT on the roads and byways, and he thought - "That's a good D car."
It was even silver.
We're just chiling now. I am going to do some more packing in a little while here, and I'm basically all ready to go. I've been having weird thoughts all day about flying home, which is IRRITATING.

Just heard from the boy
Do I have anything to talk to him about? I'm thinking not.
Just had some foot reflexology. it was very nice. Sort of .. can make you wince if I push really hard HERE? No? How about if I rub really hard HERE? Or HERE?
It wasn't really reflexology. It was shiatsu foot massage.

Strange, Canadian dreams
We haven't had a dream update in some time.
Two nights ago, I dreamt that I was visiting with Larry, and I was fussing about a skin tag that I had. He told me that it was so easy to fix, one just cut into it with a little saw blade - like an un-hooked blade from a metal saw, and then one put a wet paste of Comet scrubbing powder onto the area, and the skin tag would disappear. After which time, there was a vertiable orgy of skin tag purging using blue Comet paste.
This morning, I had a dream that I was in a Science of Mind class that was quite conceptual but filled to the brim with students that I didn't know. We were discussing some .. thing .. which involved death, I think. Or something. Anyway, it seemed to me that it was pretty clear what the point was, and I put up my hand (and started speaking as I am want to do) and the teacher (a young, very pretty black woman) said "uh, no. someone else."
As in, I already talk too much.
I think that's it. Bueno!

Pre-packed
Yeah, I'm a pre-planner. I just packed my bags with all the stuff I'm not going to use before I leave in the morning. E is at work, and I'm here at his place, having some alone time before coming home to non-stop meetings and classwork. Yeek. I have a TON to do, and my time is all planned out.
Haven't heard from the boy since yesterday morning at 0700 Central. I asked Mikey to go check on him (my place) tonight after work. I keep having scattered thoughts about stuff going missing, but no dreams about it. However, the last time I had such thoughts (and didn't secure my place) that rat from Arkansas ran off with $400 of cologne. Of course, I was also away from home that time as well.
I have some more time before E comes back, and I guess I'll have a little laze.

Monday, YVR ver 1.01
We had quite the afternoon. I went back to have my massage appointment with Monty - who was VERY sweet. He's 6'3", about 30, very sexy. Not the most "trained" massage, but very pleasant. I would love to take him out to dinner, or something. Sheesh!
After that, we went and drove the smart car - a Mercedes micro. It was awesome! I think E is going to buy one - $25,000 CAD inclusive of the FIFTEEN PERCENT GST AND SALES TAX!!!!!!! Can you BELIEVE!!?
Then, we came back here for a while, had dinner with an old friend of Eric's at a nice waterfront bar, and then he dragged me out to the stripper bar. Duff's. Except that they don't have strippers anymore, except on Fridays. We then walked past three other gay bars, none of which had more than 15 patrons. The only interesting part of the adventure was stopping at the Scotia bank ATM and having some hooker appear in front of us THREE times - it was like the Matrix, where they change something because they're re-coding. Weird.
Anyway, I had ten phone calls today from clients, all at $.35 a minute. Donna called noticing that I was missing my first class.
I spoke to baby T today about picking me up at the airport on Wednesday, and he said something about having his boyfriend who can't make and keep an appointment to save his life come pick me up. So, I think I'll plan on taking the bus.
Anyway, we're planning our evening for tomorrow, and I'm about to make up my bed and get some more sleep. Haven't heard from the boy all day, which is weird. I'm having strange thoughts zinging through my head, like all my stuff has been pawned.

The Lord's day in the Lord's favorite place
Another glorious sunny day here. I saw the part of Vancouver that makes me want to live here. Therw=e are virtually NO SUVs here. And fewer pick up trucks. We went to Sears, which bought out the ritziest department store several years ago. The Sears in Canadia are nothing like the Sears in the US. Much more like Macy's with a tool section.
Eric is engaged in day #2 of "D, let's go have one drink." Last night, I prevailed. Tonight, I intend to as well. Eric's old boyfriend's new boyfriend just arrived today; he's a stew for Horizon, and is a hoot.
Mikey seems to have taken the rat bastard ex-boyfriend back in. He was incognito for the last 36 hours, and then failed to contact Sprintpcs to find out why I can't access short mail here in Canadia.
Things here are VERY laid back. Today, we were having breakfast at 1:30 (can you discuss pathology? We got up at 10:00, and Eric didn't have any urge to eat until I was about ready to shoot up a mall from low blood sugar issues and insisted that we had to eat) and two Vancouver cops pulled up to talk to a homeless guy that was panhandling on the sidewalk (liesurely, sitting up against the building.) They used no tasers, no night sticks, and no force - they chatted him up a while, and then left him unmolested.
