What do you think of the new title.

So, I have changed the title of my blog. I had one response to the name change of the title and it was the one I would have picked also. So it is official It is now changed.

So for all of you that are reading this for the first time, welcome to my blog. For the rest of you sit back and enjoy.

This week has been totally crazy. I have hardly had more than a few hours to myself, working over 80 hours a week. I am totally exhausted. Well, finally tonight (Thursday) I only worked a 12 hour day, so I managed to get out of work at a decent hour and still make it to the last night of my bowling league. After my league I had to run to Walmart and get some shampoo, soap, and a clean towel. Work has kept me so busy that I haven't had a chance to do laundry, and I started running out of other supplies. So after a long soaking bath and a shave I feel like a brand new man.

When you are spending hours on end in a truck, bouncing from job to job, you have a lot of time to think. So a few things have come to mind while thinking.

I am thinking I want a family, you know the two and a half kids (not sure if I want the bottom or top half), a hansom husband, and a beautiful five car garage with a white picket fence keeping the flamingos in the yard. Now I guess I have to work on this. I was thinking back to all the wonderful times we had as a kid, going to Florida, Up north, Machinac Island, and how I wanted to share those wonderful experiences with someone and see the awe and wonder in their eyes.

I also got to thinking more about my facebook campaign to become the first, youngest, gay president of the united states. So as part of my campaign I am going to cut our deficit by reducing the size of the United States Government. Not just a little, but a lot, I am talking cutting the Senate in Half. We don't need that many people on payroll speaking for our country. The country is so small now, due to technology, that the representatives for each state can handle twice the area. Another thing I would do is to reduce the retirement pay system for the senate. We shouldn't be paying the senators for the rest of their lives, even if they only work for the country for 8 years. We need to either cut that in half, or reduce the number of years one can collect after retirement. Same goes for the President. Yes Me, even if I do get the job. I know this is a small part of reducing the problems faced by our government, but it is a start. Once I am in place and have a chance to really see the problems our country is facing I will be able to make it better for all.

So here is the deal. I can't afford to pay for campaign, I am not Republican or Democratic, but I will be old enough as of Feb. 2012. So Vote for me on your next ballot. My name will have to be written on the ticket.

Okay well I am going to go for now. I am tired, I have had a long night and it is time to finish watching my movie and go to bed.

P.S. I am in the mood for a chick flick. Any suggestions?

Name Change, Cast Your Vote

Today, I think I am just going to rant again. It is going to be another experiment in free writing, and we will see what happens.

I have been doing pretty good, I know that most everyone at work already knows about me. I am pretty sure that everyone at work now knows that I am gay, and I think everyone is cool with it. Like I said before the boss knows, but he can't really say anything about it. I think it is in fear of some kind of discrimination or something. Oh well, I don't think I am going to really bring up the subject though. It has been rough this week at work for me, I am taking on a 12 hour shift at the casino boat, working from 530pm to 8am every day this week. On top of that I have been working on reports, and proposals. I have kind of been doing two jobs at the same time, which I guess is typical when we are doing the casino project. I will usually get about 4 to 6 hours of sleep, but my little car, which needs work, is just going to have to wait for the weekends I guess.

Speaking of my little car. As most of you know, I took it to its first race a couple of weeks ago, and had a really good time. I was cleaning the trunk out, getting the spare tire and anything loose out of there so I could pass tech. I pulled the tire out of the car and to my surprise I found a bank deposit bag in the trunk. Feeling the bag I could tell there was something in it. So out of curiosity of course I opened it. Looking inside, I did not find any money, in fact it was a bag full of unused condoms. I showed my cousin and we both had a good laugh. I then pulled the carpet out of the back, and in the bottom of the trunk well was more unused condoms. Although I couldn't figure out how a Miata can be used as a shaggin waggin, unless they were really small people, I decided it was for the best to dispose of the seat covers.

Now comes the participation part. I need to rename my blog. Post your answer in the form of A. B. C. on facebook to let me know what you think.

A. Finally Out, What took so long.
B. Closet? What Closet?
C. Closets are for Wardrobes.

need to rename the blog

This posting is not posted live. I am at the coffee shop writing this, and it won't connect to the internet here. Tell me what is the point of having an Internet cafe and not being able to connect to the interenet. O well.

It really makes a person feel good, when I haven't posted a blog in a while and I start getting messages that people are waiting for my blog. I love you people. So without any other delay, other than the fact that I can't get on the interenet, ladies and gentlemen, my blog.

So this last couple of weeks have been a crazy week. As most of you remember from my last blog, it was time to start coming out at work. It was about time anyway, but it was given a shove that direction, and I decided to use that momentum and go with it.

I showed up last week for work and nothing was really said until after work. C and I had a talk about how he was feeling about the whole thing. He was feeling a slight bit guilty about teasing me in the past, and doesn't think it is appropriate to shoot gay jokes at me anymore. I told him that it was okay, he didn't know, and I find them amusing.

Well the rest of that week went buy with nothing more said. Had a text message conversation with T. the supervisor that found out first. He is cool with everything, and said that nothing will change.

Yesterday, I drove my car form my cousins house to the job site, since we were working in Nashville anyway that morning, I was early as expected, and C. showed up slightly after I got there. He wanted to let me know that him and T. had a conversation with the Big C. about me. I understand why they did that, but Big C. hasn't said anything to me yet about it, and I am not sure that he ever will. He did tell C. and T. that if someone starts in on me, and maliciously starts harassing me, then I need to tell T or C so that way they can mitigate the problem. I personally am not too worried about it, I can take any teasing the guys through my way. Its not my fault they are ignorant assholes.

Now it is time for some good conversation. I was driving down the road Saturday on the way to my cousins house, with the top of my new convertible down, first mistake there. Second mistake I had a tank top on. Third mistake I didn't put any sun screen on. And the forth mistake, I was wearing my seat belt. Put all of that together, it leads to an pretty funny looking sunburn on the upper half of my body. I have burnt arms, a burnt chest, burnt neck, burnt face, and a stripe across the center of my chest that is ghost white. Thank god for UV blocking seat belts, LOL. O well at least with a shirt on I don't have that bad of a farmers tan anymore.

Sunday I got to race the Miata for the first time. OMG it was so much fun. This car handles far better than anything else I have ever driven on the autocross. The only problem I ran into Sunday was the tires. They are really old, starting to dry rot on the sides, and the tread is really really hard. All that put together means hella drifting opportunity on the track. While the drifting was a ton of fun to do, it is very very slow. I was five seconds behind the main pack of cars, and nine seconds behind the leader. I was so close to the leader I could taste it. So the objective of this month, before the next autocross is to get to get the rack and pinion in replaced, the rear brake pads replaced, and hopefully a new set of rubber. I wan't to get some real race treads, and see what I can do with that.

Well I will let you all go, thanks for reading my blog, and thanks for letting me know that you want more.

P.S. You know the phrase “take the time to smell the roses”? Well I got one sort of like that. While driving down the highway, instead of drifting your mind into oblivion, which I know you all do, and I know you are not going to pay 100% attention to the road, take some time to look through the first layer of trees on the side of the highway. You will start to appreciate how beautiful the woods are.
