So, just a quick little note. I had a conversation with one of the other supervisors on the job we are working on right now. He commented about my pink Coke shirt. I laughed and responded, what you don't like my shirt.
Okay thats it, just a little note. oh and for the record the shirt is not pink, it is faded red. cause that really makes a difference, right... right...?

Saturday was a big day for me. There were three people I tried to tell on Monday, NCOD. Of those three people only one of them responded to my initial message. So of my friends from college called me on Wednesday to talk about it, but I was out of town on a job so I told him I would call him Saturday. So Saturday came around and we had a chance to talk about it. It took him completely off guard, which I found funny cause one of my other college friend new I was going to have this conversation with him one day. O well, it feels good to finally let the secret out of the bag, and he was cool with it.
Right after I hung up the phone the other friend I tried to tell on Monday text me. He had a feeling I was gay anyway.
I find it really interesting how one person can perceive a person one way and one can perceive them another way.

October 11th
So as most of my readers already know yesterday was October 11th, national coming out day. This last year has been a really big year for me coming out. So to celebrate NCOD I decided to tell some of my other friends that I have not told. Still haven't told my parents, I want to but it is so hard for some reason.
The people I managed to tell on Monday was an old friend from when I went to dive school in Houston, TX. We used to work together at Lowes while I was going to school. She was pretty cool with it.
One of my co-workers asked what October 11th was, but I have not had a chance to talk to him about it. I think I want to tell him, he has become a close friend and think that it is something he should know about me.
I also let a friend from college know, it has been a while since we talked, and although I could not get a hold of him directly, I left him a message. I am hoping he won't have a hard time with it (don't think he will).
Then there was a friend I used to work with. He lives in Washington right now. I tried to tell him, but he has not responded to my text messages, so as soon as he does I am going to tell him.
Well that is my story for October 11th. I hope everyone that took advantage of this day had a good experience, and if you do decided to start coming out of the closet, take it from me, don't wait for the next October 11th. Make every day that special day to someone.

Life isn't better dead!
okay, I don't know how many people are reading my blog, and what age range all my readers are. I would like to think that there are more than just my closest friends reading this, but I don't know.
People please, over the last week, five teenagers have committed suicide due to being relentlessly teased by classmates for being openly gay. There are two problems I see. The first is the teasing. I know it is a fact of life people, I understand that 100%, I myself was teased a lot as a kid. The difference is, it wasn't because of my sexuality, I was not out at all when I was a kid. The biggest thing is that kids don't know when to quit. Look at how this is effecting the teen kid. Parents need to talk to their kids about the consequence of teasing.
The other problem is SUICIDE. Suicide is not the answer at all. Okay lets think about it for a second. How bad is your life, ...not bad enough. I know its rough, but coming from someone that was teased through school, it doesn't matter after high school. I myself wish that I had come out a long time before now. I love being defined as gay, but I am 33 years old and have had a lot of time in my life to figure myself out. Here is my point though. Life is so much better of a choice than death. Think of it this way. Life will never have a chance to get better if you don't give it a chance to. The world outside of school years is so much more accepting of Gay's.
I don't want to see any more stories like these. If you are going to come out of the closet and you are young prepare yourselves it is going to be a rocky road at first. If you let it get to you, then they are going to continue teasing you. If you go along with the teasing and play along with the teasing, it will get old for them and they will move on to someone else.
Don't suppress yourselves because your worried about the ignorance of the teenagers. Let yourself out, and just make yourself as mentally prepared for it as possible.

Well, Last weekend was a nervous but exciting weekend for me. I met this guy through a my cuz, we started talking online a little bit, and a little chatting on the phone. Finally last weekend I got my chance to actually meet him in person, and spend a little time with him.
I wanted to go bowling, which I thought would be a good first date, that way it will allow us to talk why doing something together so we can get to know each other. Well plans changed, and we went back to his place and watched a movie. He seams like a pretty nice guy overall, and I am looking forward to spending more time getting to know him.
Saturday morning the chain on my necklace broke and my pride necklace went bouncing all over the livingroom floor. OOps, I guess I will have to get online and order a new one.
In case you didn't know, there is also National Coming Out day coming up on October 11th. It should be a cool day, I myself plan on hinting to other people the significance of the day, my parents included.
I was going to tell them on my trip to Michigan a couple of weeks ago, but things are kind of crazy up there and my parents weren't together for more than a couple of minutes. I think I am just going to have to send them a letter, and tell them to open it together.
Well I got to go for now, it is getting late, and I have to be to work fairly early tomorrow.
Night all, keep the rainbow flying, and the unicorns dancing.

Smile the world is only as good as you perceive it
Wow, I know, two post in one day. What is he thinking.
I just wanted to say that I had a great day. I got a report thats been bugging me done at work. I saw this guy running down the street, the smile on his face made me smile, so I had to get online and thank him for that. I smiled when I got finished with the report. Just before I left work today, I got a text message from a cute guys, made me smile some more. So when I got home and changed my oil, the oil plug needed to be replace, instead of being upset, it gave me a great reason to take my other car for a spin. Got home, finished with the oil change, took the car for a drive to make sure there was no leaks, and the car just happened to turn into Culvers, I smiled the whole way home with a double scoop of ice cream in my right hand.
Thanks for listening and to that one special person in my life who knows and loves Culvers, NA na na na boo boo.

A good week
Well so far I have had a pretty good week. I met someone in person that I have been talking to for a little while on the internet. He is every bit as cute as his pictures online. He seams to be a really nice person, and i think I want to get to know him a little more and maybe develop a good friendship.
On the other end, I am going home to MI this weekend. I think I am going to at least make an attempt to tell my parents this weekend. Wish me luck with that, I think they will be okay with it, but it is always so hard to even think about, but the idea of them knowing and me being able to let my inner frog out completely.
Well I have to go back to work and hide in my close for a few more hours.
