Its almost Christmas. The skies have opened up, rain is coming down, lightning is flashing, and I can't even say its because I live in Florida. At least I am blessed so far with a mild winter in the mid south. It is getting closer and closer to my trip to MI for the winter shutdown at work and the Christmas holiday. I am so excited. I got a lot of great gifts for people this year, and I can't wait to see their faces when they open them up.
As for me, If you would of talked to me yesterday, I would of brought you down into a pit of depression, but its amazing what a difference a day can make. Don't get me wrong, I am still depressed a little, but I had a really good conversation with a cute friend in VA last night. We have been talking for many many years now, and he helped to cheer me up. I smiled every time I thought about him today. Thanks T. you are the light in my darkness.
Well the rest of this week is probably going to fly by. I have to do some water quality stuff on thursday, and a lot of reports to do by the end of the week, but if i get done early enough on friday, I can leave early to go to MI.
Well I am going to sign off for now, T. Just signed in, so I want to talk with him for a little while.
Night.

Vacation Plans
I know it has been a while since I posted to my blog. For that I am sorry. I have been crazy busy with work for the last month or so and haven't had any time to think about myself or my needs. While I am still busy, I realized I haven't blogged in a while.
I made it home for a short weekend over Thanksgiving, which was nice cause I got to see my whole family. Seamed like everyone was able to make it home for Thanksgiving this year. We had something like 14 people over for dinner. It was so nice to be able to spend it with a family of that size. I am looking forward to Christmas, where I hope to be able to spend some more time with the family. I requested a few days off, so hopefully I get it.
Soon after Christmas things at work should start to slow down, and I can figure out what I want to do for vacation this year. I am thinking of a couple of things, but I want them to be adventurous and fun, but also maybe stay in one of the fabulous gay resorts around this great country of ours. There is one in palm springs Florida (clothing optional), and another great one in Key West, Florida (also clothing optional). Now I know to some that may not sound all that great, but I think it will be a good time, maybe by that time I go on Vacation next time I will have a handsome travel companion.
There is another place I have been considering going, but it will be kind of cold during the winter slow down. A little place called Saugatuck, MI, it is the gay capital of the north. I guess it is one of the gay friendlies towns in Michigan, full of theater and art, and cute Michigan guys.
Where ever I got, I am looking forward to having a good time. Anyone want to go with me.
well that is all I have to say for now, I am tired, had a wheel job today, still on call so I might have a couple more before the weekends out.
I hope you all enjoyed my blog.

J Edgar
So tonight I decided to go watch a movie. I was reading Queerty.com and they suggested seeing J Edgar, so blindly I did. LOL. But really it was a good movie. It went through his whole life from the point just before he became the director of the FBI to his death. I must admit he was a complex man.
As some of you may know, he never married. At one point when the FBI was expanding he met this guy, which became his right hand man. The portrayed him clearly as a gay man, but what was interesting as the hinted through the whole movie J Edgar Hoover was in love with his assistant.
If that was true, I can totally understand that in that era he would need to keep something like that quiet, especially building the FBI up. He made it clear from the beginning that the FBI agents had to meet certain protocols, on and off work. In the end he died, along with his secrets. The end of the movie dictated that the movie was based on rumors and non concrete evidence. Weather it is true or not it does make a great movie.
In this day and age, i would like to believe that if the current director of the FBI came out of the closet (not saying anything about the current director) that the U.S. public would not think any differently of him. Back then it would have been considered Un-American, now days it is common place to have a gay public official.
The movie was good. I do have to admit though when I walked into the movie and looked around, there was only about 5 people younger than me, the rest were I would guess 50 plus. Imagine how funny it was for someone like me, knowing that there is certain gay ideas, when the old people gasped at what they just saw. LOL
Well I would recommend the movie to anyone. It puts an interesting perspective on J. Edgar Hoovers life, and you can learn a lot about how the FBI came into existence.
Enjoy

Its been a while
So I know its been a long while since I blogged, for that I am sorry. I have been working extremely long hours at work the last few weeks, and have barely had time to do anything but come home, or back to the hotel and sleep.
Last night was the first evening in a long time that I actually had time off. We were working at a casino in Tunica, MS. After we got done with the job and got something to eat, i decided to try my luck at the casino. I sat down at one blackjack table and stayed there for 3 hours playing. I was up, then down, then up, then I was down to my last bet, I made it back up again toward the end of the night and walked out of there $2.50 ahead. I was satisfied that I got 3hrs of entertainment and made money in the process. The group of people at the table was just a hoot from the get go. This guy sitting next to me dropped nearly 1000 dollars while at my table. through and through there was only one other person that stuck around as long as I did, but everyone was cheering everyone else on. It was a lot of fun.
Well today I finally got home (back to Murray) early, so I decided to go bowling tonight. I was tired so I only managed to bowl 7 games before I was wore out. On the way home I decided to stop at the gas station to cash in a winning lotto ticket and get some more while I was there. I squatted down at the lotto machine, getting my tickets, which happen to be on the bottom row of the machine. I was bent over, minding my own business getting my tickets. I stood up, turned around, and there was this really hot mussel guy standing about 10 feet back, looking right at me. As soon as I looked at him, he turned and walked up to the register, but I know he was checking me out, and of course I was doing the same. You could tell he just got done working out at the gym right behind the gas station, cause he had the workout shorts on, which by the way was showing his perfectly sculpted A**.
I should of said something to him. Hi or something like that, but no, I just admired him from a far.
Oh well, that's the best part of working in a college town, plenty of eye candy.
Well I am going to sign off know, I hope you enjoyed my blog. If you did, feel free to leave a comment on facebook.

Rage!!!
So the last couple of weeks have been extremely busy for me. I have been all over this area of the country doing mussel surveys and other projects. I think it is finally wearing on me. From the very moment I got up this morning till the time I pulled up into my driveway, I have been really irritable, and argumentative. Well of all days, I was catching a lot of extra shit from the crew I was working with. It just seamed like I was the main target for all the blame of anything that happened today, and to top it off, the supervisor kept rolling the Gay jokes. It seamed like it was one after another after another. Anyone who knows me knows that that kind of stuff just rolls off me, but it didn't today. It kept building and building, and I could feel the pressures of repression in my body. I needed a release, and I needed on bad.
I got back to the shop after that job, having to get ready for the next job. I was going over what we needed and found out that the other flow meter that was on another job two hours away was the one that we really needed for this job, so I did not hesitate to volunteer to drive up there to get it. It was just the release I was looking for. Jamming to my RuPaul the whole way up put me in a better mood. Thank you mother of all drag queens you are the inspiration I need to get through the day.
Well needless to say the trip did me good. I still feel some built up tension in my body. Hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow.
Well I will end this blog for now, I will try and post a more positive blog as soon as I can.

National Coming Out Day
Well today is the day for all the gay men and women out there to reminisce on their stories of coming out of the closet. For me, it happened just about a year ago, or at least that's when I told my family. Most of you know the story, so I won't get into to much details. I was up with my family for the Thanksgiving holiday, I went through the entire weekend stewing over how I was going to tell them, but I was ready to tell them. Over a series of the few days I was there, I decided I wasn't going to leave back home without telling my parents. I had two agendas for my timing on it. The first was I wanted to tell them before the Christmas Season, Christmas is very important to our family, and I didn't want that to ruin the holiday if for some reason my parents had a hard time dealing with it. The second was I was just about to leave to go home, and I had to tell them. My dad was at work, so I couldn't tell him face to face like I really wanted to, but I told my mom. After some tears and a long couple of weeks she seamed to have a hard time with it. Mostly about her concerns for my safety. My parents are the best and my worst fears of how they would react did not even come close to coming true. They couldn't have taken the shocking news any better. No my relationship with my parents is as strong as ever.
So today, I posted a note on my facebook page wishing everyone a happy coming out day. I have been posting notes and other random post that were gay related. So essentially, now is my coming out on facebook.
One of my good friends at work asked me today why October 11th. For that I didn't have an answer, but I did find an article when I got home from work tonight. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jordan-roth/national-coming-out-day-2011_b_1003951.html It is a good article basically explaining that national coming out day is not for all of those that have yet to come out, but it is for all of those that have already come out. It is for sharing stories, and putting yourself out there so other closeted people know who you are, and that they can come to you with issues, questions, or concerns. I think that's a great way to treat this holiday.
Although as of yet, I am not sure of why the date is today, but what I am sure of is; If anyone reading my blog needs to talk about anything, I am here for you. Just E-mail me at kfrogger1@yahoo.com.
