MaybeMaybeNot

I am anxiously awaiting updates. I would have loved to have gone, but I am not vaccinated yet.

For the record, I used a seedless orange.

@jjkrkwood I would love to hear more about the experience. Can't say I haven't thought of that myself. I once tried an orange. I had read about it online at a particularly horned up moment. Didn't do I anything for me.

There needs to be Airbnb by the hour.

My S.O. will not give oral sex. Truthfully, I have not always enjoyed giving oral and have to be in the right mood to want to do it. When I do it, I don't like doing it for long. I get bored. And, I have only done it to completion on my S.O.

I thought it was plenty of fun. Zachary Levi gave an amazing performance.

Falsettos was just incomprehensible to me. It's like someone wrote a bunch of songs and knew nothing about telling a story. I know people lobe it because it deals with gay characters, but it was painful to sit through. I remembered another one to add to my list, the tour revised version of The Last Ship. Another show written by people who clearly didn't know how to do what they were trying to do. So boring.

I have seen some doozy amateur and regional productions. As far as Broadway/tour, it would be a tie between Billy Elliott, Once, and Falsettos. All three were painful to sit through. Ghost was also horrendous, but I wasn't as bored as with these three.

I had a difficult relationship with my dad, and for many years, I thought that it made me gay. My father was severely depressed, lazy, and, to be honest, not too bright. The result was, I grew up thinking he hated me. After he got on anti-depressants (when I was 21), our relationship improved, though it fell apart again after my parents divorce (partially because of how my mom handled the divorce and partially because my dad used me to get money to buy things for his trashy new girlfriend . . . at a time in my life when I was very bad off financially). Our relationship never fully recovered after that. After his trashy girlfriend used him for everything she could get, my dad came back into the picture. It took me a while before I would see him, and our relationship was never the same. My dad was homophobic and would talk about "fags" and didn't believe in gay rights (marriage, military), but when my sister was convinced that I would come out, she prepped him for it, and he actually had the conversation with me in my thirties that it would be okay if I was gay. Soon after that, he'd make homophobic comments, but I always knew that he would support me being gay. I knew he would would have a hard time with it, but ultimately, he would say he just wanted me to be happy My dad would always puff himself up because he was proud of his kids, and I knew it was partly because it made him look good. The day we learned my dad was going on hospice, I sat in the hospital talking to him. For the first time, he acknowledged in strong language that he was a bad father. I couldn't bring myself to contradict him, just to say, "Well, we all turned out okay." But through his admission, I was able to get over some of the pain of the past. Although I had forgiven him, I hadn't allowed myself to get close to him because I didn't want to be close and because I didn't want to get hurt again. He would later explain that he didn't spend as much time with me as he did my siblings only because he had more in common with them. That never bothered me, to be honest, because I spent so much of my life not wanting to spend too much time with him. When he was on hospice, I made some huge sacrifices for him. When we ultimately had to move him into a nursing home, I was the one visiting him 4-6 times a week and grieving that I couldn't have him at home with me (he couldn't be left alone). For much of that time, my siblings, who were much closer to him, were pretty much MIA. I came to love my dad, not how I would have wanted to love my dad, but with compassion and genuine love and concern for him. I'm not totally sure why. I didn't come out to myself until years after both my parents (and one of my siblings) passed. I loved my dad, but it's my mom for whom I still grieve daily.

Well, that explains it. We had a bird's nest and you had a crow's nest! Seriously, though, perhaps the rigging didn't work out that day or that week. I didn't mention that I have the cast recording and am always moved when I listen to it. I've read the book of the show (which was published and I own), and I love the show, despite the limitations I experienced on tour. I saw a really bad community theater production years ago, with some of the parts cut (probably because they didn't have the actors for it). I would love to see another strong production of "Titanic" somewhere.

I think it is as remembered as other shows of its era. We live in a day and age where musicals are remembered mostly once they've had a movie adaptation. Perhaps it was always that way; we just have much fewer movie adaptations now. I saw the show on your. Unfortunately, for my venue, the sound was poor, and you couldn't always make out what the basses and baritones were singing. I also echo the tour staging comment above. I remember being confused why there was a sailor standing at the edge of the stage. Looking at the souvenir program, I realized they had nixed the bird's nest/lookout.

New York City is perfect for solo travel. Lots to do and lots of shows to see (under normal circumstances) and you don't have to compromise! Road trips can also be fun.

I think Austin Peck's pecs were my first crush.

Here is a handy video about it:

There's a guy I chat with online who has taken Covid very seriously. He literally saw no one, even socially, during quarantine. He started to have sex with a few guys, quizzing them on mask-wearing, social isolation practices, and hand-washing. He asked if they worked alone or in groups. The only guy he kissed was one who had been tested. When I drove across the country to visit family and then drove home, I had not cum in over 3 1/2 weeks. I took a play out of his book and began looking for someone in a small county on my way back, a county with very low Covid numbers. I found one guy who seemed perfect. He even had a farm where we could be outside, I could sit back, spread my legs, and get some relief. As I was about to seal the deal, I asked more about his work. He worked in a factory. I had to turn him down because he worked with large groups of people. When I stopped for a quick drive-through lunch in one town, a greeting popped up on Scruff. I found a guy who was taking all the precautions and headed over to his garage. No kissing, I kept my mask on, and I was literally weak in the knees after shooting a big load. I regretted it afterwards, but all was fine. I am not saying I recommend these steps, but that's what I did and how I came up with the plan.

Friday nights have been difficult for me lately. I wish we could stream the AMAs later on.

I would definitely say it must have been an off night. George gives awesome lap dances and seems very popular.

He did an interview for the Talk About Gay Sex podcast. So charming. https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/talk-about-gay-sex/e/76332743

@Coolwave35 Is this an invite we can use after the pandemic? ?

I know someone who worked on the show and despises her. I always thought it was because maybe she didn't feel Ellen represented her as a Lesbian. When I see her next, I will ask her. Truthfully, there are many celebrities who are not great people in person.

I am very concerned, Coolwave. You could be making a significant faux pas that will leave you blackballed from the younger muscular society. After Covid has passed, I had better come to one of these parties to properly assess and consult. You know, just to be on the safe side.

Anyone know how Black's Beach is these days?

I am really appreciating reading everyone's comments. I come on this board feeling like the inexperienced, naive youngster in awe of all of you who have such exciting experiences with these attractive guys. I am not young, but I have never lived my life choosing careers that paid me well for my education and ability. Perhaps I should change my perspective; perhaps hiring isn't just for those pulling in the big bucks.

That's awesome. I wonder if Matt was there. Did that seem awkward between them?

Good for you and good for them. Whatever you paid, I'm sure they needed it. As Dolly Levi would say, "Money, excuse the expression, is like manure . . ." I would also be interested in knowing how things changed for you.
