sing us a song

22 Jun

i could list a ton of excuses as to why i have basically fallen off the face of the blogosphere recently. these include but are not limited to: ive been busy working on the new house; i didnt have internet at home for a good two weeks; ive been plugging away at 2 very big and annoyingly overdramatic projects at work for a good long while now; i also have been slowly but surely working on the website for textur; my search for roommates occupied every moment i had left when i did have internet access; and ive been so worn out that all i could really manage to say on here would have been “ugh.” but probably without the period at the end, because im awful at punctuation.

the excuses are all accurate and truthful, but they fail to address the number one issue at hand here: im tragically lazy. and i have a tendency to fall into lazy slumps sometimes that really seem to scramble my ability to write coherent thoughts. this past month has been nothing but a slump. a lot has to do with the move and the money (i dont have) and the roommates (i had a hard time finding because im gay and i own a cat, two things most people hate), but some of it has to do with stress over other things. the problem is, im not really sure how to dig myself back out of it. last time i fell into a slump like this, i called it “college”, and i accepted that the only solution was alcoholism. i cant really do that this time as that might impair my ability to drive to work. i have no doubt i could easily do my job while under the influence, but im not so sure i could get to work driving through the city during rush-hour.

at any rate – June is gay pride month. last weekend i went to the Cyndi Lauper True Colors Tour with J and someone we will now refer to as Tucker. we had a blast. it was an awesome concert and i was surrounded by awesome company and the gayness abounded. then monday, i went to a latin dance class for lesbians. how hot is that? and then this weekend im off to NY for NY Pride. last year’s NY Pride was a blast and this year promises to be just as awesome if not more as i have taken monday off from work just so i could enjoy sunday as much as saturday. i hope to come back with enough pictures to make up for the holes in my memory.

if you get a chance, watch the True Colors Tour video created by HRC’s Erase the Hate campaign. click here to see video!

 

and so it goes

05 Jun

the past couple of weeks have been extremely busy. i did in fact buy a house. that was the most stressful but also most accomplished thing i have ever done. so there was the massive amounts of phone calls, faxes and paperwork signings that had to take place. that took up a lot of time. then there was the actual settlement, that was a good day out of my life. and then there was the moving in….to home depot. j and i spent an entire 4 days doing nothing but painting, cleaning and installing a bathroom sink and vanity (which was a lot harder than it was supposed to be because the damn old one was ikea and let me tell you — that stuff doesnt come apart without a good fight). i dont think ive ever gone to home depot so many times in the same day. i am told this is an undocumented feature of homeownership.

and then there was the actual move this past weekend…in the rain. so the past 2 weeks have really been nothing but a blur for me. and currently i cant find any of my socks or underwear as i am living in a warehouse of boxes and ikea parts.

more to come later, when i get cable and internet finally installed at my place, hopefully next week…
