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.
Kris
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.
Kris
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.

I think I am out at work
So A friend of mine was on call this weekend at work. He had not been with the company for quite a while. He was riding back from the job and of course in typical company fashion everyone talks about everyone that isn't there. So I guess I was the topic of the conversation today. T. looked over at M. my friend and said, "Did you know Kris is gay?". M didn't want to let on that he knew, but then T. said "He came out to us a couple of weeks ago". M. not wanting to be left out of the conversation said that I came out to him a few months back. T. looked over at him and said, "Really, I was just joking around with you.". So I asked him who else was in the truck. He said B. I thought oh my gosh of all the people that had to get confirmation that I was gay, it had to be B. He has giving me crap since I first met him, but lately things have been going okay, now who knows whats going to happen.
So out of respect, I talked to one of my supervisors, that I consider more than just a supervisor. He was okay with it, told me it didn't matter to him. As for the rest of the company, we shall see tomorrow.

What a dream.
So, I am sitting here on a Saturday morning bored out of my skull. I ordered parts for my car last night, went and picked them up this morning so I can start the tuneup on my new car. Now it is thunder storming really really bad, so I can't do anything about it anyway. Oh Well maybe it will pass over soon and I can get to work on it. I can't work on it to late today cause I have a ham radio thing tonight. It is field day, so we are doing a 24 hour drill to practice emergency communications, but it might not be a drill if this storm persist.
So, since I was bored, I decided to check out my facebook page. Like I need an excuse like boredom to check facebook, but on of my friends posted a comment about New York passing the same sex marriage bill. Go NY.
My point with that statement is it reminded me of a dream I had last night. It was about my own wedding. Let me tell you it was a total event. **Now just a warning some of this dream which will be in bold may produce visual images you may not of wanted in your head** So it all started with a very techno themed music, I think it was Cannon in D. It started out slow and I remember coming around the corning and looking down this really long red carpet. I looked around and the wedding was in a stadium. The red carpet went down the stadium to the center of the ground level. I started off walking and began running down the hill as the music got faster. I was not wearing the typical black tux. I was in a tight pair of psychedelic rainbow spandex shorts and that was it, and I must say I was in good shape. Must have buffed up for the wedding. As I was running down the red carpet, the full stadium was cheering. I got up to the alter and was just standing there waiting in anticipation. At this point in my dream I had not seen the person I was suppose to marry. The music changes to some weird circusy music. I looked up and see a drag queen in a wavy red dress running down the isle. I thought oh, is this him. She/He got down to the alter turned around, took a bow, and took off her wig. I then saw another drag queen running down the isle, this time in a blue wavy dress. She got down to the alter and took off her wig. I then realized I wasn't going to merry them, they were the groomsmen/bridesmaids. The spot light shined to the top of the red carpet and around the corner came a clown (sorry cuz) He stood there in a blue suit with white polka-dots. He then tore off the blue suit and reviled another clown in a red polka-dot suit with white fringes. I was confused but caught up in the event. Then the clown tore off that suit and reviled a duck suit. (Hold on, got to stop laughing.) He looked like Howard the duck. He started running down the red carpet, as he got closer I noticed that most of the duck costume was gone, and all he had on was a white basketball uniform, white shorts and tank-top, but he still had a duck mask on. He got up to me and faced me at the alter. I reached down, grabbed his mask to lift it off his head.... Boom a crash of thunder from the reality world and I woke up. Now I guess I will never know what my future husband will look like.
Thanks for reading, If I have a continuation I will post it.
See u all, I hope you enjoyed.

Inanimate object?
So as most of you know, I purchased a 1990 Mazda Miata last week. Let me tell you, I am 100 percent totally in love with the car. I mean so in love that I want to spend every minute looking at the car, sitting in the car, jumping in the car without opening the door. The car is pretty much awesome.
Now it is time for the dilemma. I found myself driving it to and from work every day this week. I know it is only Tuesday, but I really wouldn't have any issues driving it all week. The only problem with that is I feel as if I am neglecting my other car (Aveo). I love that car too, but it is really my daily driver, and I am not using it for daily driving.
Does anyone else feel that a car has a sole, and is it wrong to ignore it for a week or so and expect the car to be good to you. I know the car is sound and in great shape. I take care of it, but I am afraid that my car will get upset with me and start giving me problems.
What do you all think?
Let me know by posting to my facebook page in response to my blog announcement.
Thanks,
Kris

I have had enough of being a closet employee
I am still so far in the closet at work, as time goes on, it gets harder and harder to try and hide it. Maybe its about time I stop. I don't know though. I wish I could just be confident that I will not have any major issues being out at work. Given the chance to start again I would do it from the beginning. Of course when I started at work I wasn't even close to being out of the closet.
This weekend my original plan was to head to pride this weekend. I got down here late Friday night after going through the loops of buying a new car, and trying to get caught up with work. I didn't get down here till about 11, by then I was totally exhausted. It was pretty late in the morning when I got up on Saturday. Looked at the radar and nothing but storms rolling through the rest of the day. So I am going to have to try and find another pride event to go to this year.
So I am going to take a vote from my bloggers. Please either respond yes or no to my facebook page on my invite to the blog, or post a comment on this blog.
Should I come out at work or not. Y/N
I don't know what else to say today. I have tried starting to work out, and I guess it is going okay, but I need to get a little more serious. The last week I have been out on the boat every day, so when I get home I am pretty exhausted. A friend of mine wanted to start working out with me, and maybe join a gym. I am thinking about getting back with the cardio kick boxing.
Another exciting event this week. I paid off one of my cars, the Little Red Aveo, and bought a Mazda Miata. I can't wait till this week when I get it registered. You will see me cruising town in a white convertible. I am so excited.
Well I got to go, hope you enjoyed my rant, don't forget to vote.
