Becket

He is classically beautiful. He has aged and aged well. What The hell is the matter with Angelina?

....and on the eighth day God went back to work and created blonds. Lord have mercy!

Early on in my career a mentor said the best thing I can do for my own mental state and general well being is to get used to being evaluated. "People are gonna judge you every time you get out there. Get used to it. Get comfortable with it. Though it seems very personal, it's really not. They'll won't know your inner strength and drive just by that first interaction and experience. You still get to choose to whom you show your true self; the best parts, the most important parts of yourself." This was good advice for me thirty years ago. It still sounds good today.

Always followed and cheered for Drew Brees, quaterback of the New Orleans Saints. He will be missed, retiring after 20 years and one Super Bowl Championship.

European Championships only a few days away. Can't wait. Cheering for Germany and England from the favorites, Wales from the dark horses, and Denmark from the "shock the world" category. Belgium is a strong team, Spain always interesting. Sorry to see Norway and Erling Braut Haaland not participating.

Went to a Red Sox game a few years ago. Such a remarkable and wonderful park experience. The history, that "feeling" I got wondering around the ball part. Even got to see Big Papi hit a homer. Not at all a lifetime fan, so I know my fandom doesn't count for much in the great scheme of things. But I was so grateful for the experience, and cheer for them when I can.

Just one? The mesothelioma ad that runs ad nauseam on CNN. The ultra sincere elderly lady in THAT VOICE: "Call for the free book. And receive so much more."

New things hard to get used to, especially with ole farts like me. This was a big change obviously; format, server, IT guys, the works. It reminds me of the continual changing of prayers books in the church when I was growing up. Everybody hated the changes, even though some revisions were correct and necessary. Eventually we got used to it, and.....just like you said.....they changed it again......and again. Really aggravating. Drove lots of folks out. I'm no different. I get rattled a bit when the menu changes at my favorite restaurant. It's partly why the MAGA's call Dr. Fauci Dr. Flippy. Won't stick to one way (duh, they learned something new, they make new recs.) Feeling your pain in Arizona.😘

Well. Being treated like a sex object by you would be indeed something. Just saying......😚

I really respect all those providers who see well known politicians and celebrities; yet keep their mouths shut (mostly). There is something Lawyer/client about the arrangement. It's not contractual of course, more of an unsaid rule that both parties usually stick to. Many providers seem far more honorable than some of us clients, when it comes to respect and confidentiality. I would not be sorry to see some of those Washington liars and cheats be revealed for what they are, especially those who openly work against our community. Many of you guys, my hats off to ya. You're better men than me.

Dinner on me if you're ever in DFW. Thank you.

Love the new format! Thank you so much.

Had a funny great aunt. Asked her once, "Nana, are you rich?" She replied, "Honey I have more money than GOD!" We always both would laugh.

Enjoy spy novels with a common thread/character book after book. Daniel Silva writes of an art restorer who is also a spy who saves much of the world in every story. Robert Ludlam and his many novels with Jason Borne "The Borne Identity", etc was fun as well. Also, I like the characters developed by John Irving, like TS Garp in "The World according to Garp, or Owen Meaney in "A prayer for Owen Meaney". His characters are all very human: they get knocked down but get up, they fail but try again, occasionally they succeed and there is a great joy. Reading about familiar characters book after book is comforting in a small way. One knows what to expect, more or less. That's unusual these days.

The two words straight and gay are more and more meaningless in ordinary life. How much more so on a site like this! The anonymity of this site allows all sorts and conditions of men and women to have a forum to vent....er, discuss their views. "We get all kinds......." says the wisest man. Orientation, then, is kinda like opinions. And opinions are like a** h***s. Everybody has got one. And I think mine (or yours) is the only one that doesn't "emit noxious odors."

Surviving Covid. Just a mild case, fortunately. Hell of a year.

Cheers for Gary Kirby. Making "good trouble" on behalf of strip show lovers nationwide.

I have admired you from afar, and would come rub your feet anytime.

Got into Uefa football (soccer) a few years ago. Favorite team was Liverpool, because Fernando Torres was so cute. Still cheer for Liverpool and Bayern Munich (cause I get to stare at Manuel Neuer the whole game.) Looking forward to the European Championships next month. First couple weeks are great, with three games a day. They start at 1 or 2PM in Europe so it's 8AM my time. Coffee and a bagel in bed and binge out on the games.

Played badmitton (sic) years ago. Would be nice to try it again. Easy, quick game. Good aerobic workout.

Love Manuel Neuer. Beautiful at any age.

Great Forum. We need more discussions about Christiano Ronaldo's thighs, Jeff Dryscle's gorgeous muscle ass, Manuel Neuer's everything! Joy to the World!!!

Yep, one of my favorite fantasy scenarios: Cute, straight acting Mormon boy, going a little....well a lotta.....you know......Those beautiful blue eyes. The knock on the door. "Hello, I'm Elder Conrad. Can we come in and tell you about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?" Why, yes. Come in. We'll go wild. We'll have a coke. With Caffine. And you can show me how that funny underwear you wear works. A boy can dream.........

I would be scared to death to hire in Dubai or any like minded city or country.

The average here is skewed upward by one or two fellows who advertise ridiculous rates because they claim to look like famous men. Of course when all else fails, blame it on the Dallas Mafia.
