Baking a cake for my man!


It's Friday!

In an astounding twist of fate, Tommy (the boyfriend) and I both have tonight off! So I'm at his place, and we're going to dink around, have a friend over, maybe splurge with a bit of rum,  and probably have a bunch of butt sex later tonight.


Good Morning!


Replace Clothes with Paint

This is really cool. As an artist, it arouses a lot of creative ideas.

   

On the Steps

There is something amazing about being outdoors without any clothing on.

Fun With Texts!

A text exchange between me and my boyfriend. He tried to fix his car. He made a valiant effort, but ultimately had to take it in.

The Process...

Coming out is rarely a one step action. Sure, we sometimes read about the Big Bang, bursting out of the closet, blurting at the Thanksgiving table, then climbing to the roof and screaming it for all to hear, coming out stories- but that rarely happens. And even for those who do rip the band-aid off of the proverbial wound in such a grand fashion, there are always the people that they meet after the fact- the future co-workers, friends, and others who, because of societal expectations will always assume the straightness of everyone they meet. So, for essentially all of us who have been blessed with a homosexual orientation, coming out is an ongoing process regardless of when we took that first step out of the closet.

For some of us, this process is slower than it is for others. I am a 31 year old man, and there are still 3 people that matter to me, that I have yet to tell that I'm gay. My father, my grandfather (as you may remember, my grandmother passed away in October), and my brother. The rest of my immediate family- my mother and other brother are both incredibly supportive. I have justified my secrecy for various reasons, depending on the individual. My grandparents were the sticking point. When I came out to my mother, she echoed my thoughts- that my grandparents cannot find out. Since my father is close to my grandparents, my mother thought it best that I not tell him yet, either. My dad has the ability to keep a secret akin to a teenage girl who just got the juiciest gossip and an unlimited texting plan for her new iPhone. Out of respect for her, I have not yet told him. As for my brother... honestly, if he hasn't figured it out by now, he's an idiot. His wife is very conservative, and they have two beautiful kids that are a big part of my life. I used to worry that my being gay would give her cause to not allow me to see them. But times are changing, and they are changing fast and I've seen this change in attitude slowly happen with my sister-in-law.

I'm getting really tired. I'm tired of hiding. I literally only have three toes still in the closet, but those three toes... those three tiny, but very important toes are keeping me from running free- from doing the things with my life that I want to do. My art, my writing, my performing, my fucking mark on the world... I can't make it if I remain chained to that soul-draining closet door.

I can see my whole future lying directly in front of me, just waiting for me to run full blast into it's infinite horizon...

...and I am utterly terrified to take that last step out of that door.

Long Time No See!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the utter neglect. Life has been an absolute roller coaster for the last few months. I'm working a lot, and seeing a new guy. He's wonderful. In fact, he and I are going out tonight to get some drinks with Tito and his boyfriend, and in my nostalgia, I decided it was high time that I attempt to start posting again. I will do my best to keep this thing going, as it still (to my shock) gets regular traffic. 

So here's to the future!
