the return of the prince

after almost ten months of absence the prince has returned!  

it took him a little bit of time to fit back in to the crowd, but after a little warming-up he slipped right into his old place like he had never left.  sure, things are a little tight right now and he's really not at his fullest yet, but give him a week or two of relaxing into his old job and he'll be able to puff-out his chest once more and put on his full suit of glory as he was when he left his duties last september.

but man... it's so nice to have him back again.

my very proud weekend

sorry for the major lack of blogging lately - it's summer in the city and things are going crazy.

pride was this last weekend and i was, once again, reminded of exactly how gay i can be (no comments please). the mere two-and-a-half days of my weekend consisted at the very least of the following: a trip to stillwater in a convertable, getting drunk w/ a date, pride parade, lesbian hands down my pants fondling my "junk", cruising up and down university avenue until the cops blocked the street w/ their cars, dancing to ymca in the the streets of downtown minneapolis, watching at least four hours of drag shows (including TWO stripper numbers... yeah... figure THAT one out), a VERY nice cuddle in the rain with my date (the same one i hung out w/ all weekend), and the crowning glory of my weekend: seeing a lesbian w/ her pants around her ankles squatting over a urinal (seeing her woo-hoo was part of the package... NOT a particularly glam situation).

man... "the gays" just keep the fun coming...

noir ruf-ruf

i'm trying out a new coffee shop/cafe that's two blocks from my new place... the black dog cafe. free wireless is all i'm interested in = ) oh, and good coffee.

anyway, there's a lady sitting next to me that just stood up and made a BIG scene because her laptop was almost dead and the power outlet next to her wasn't working so she'd need to move to another location in the coffee shop where it was, and i quote, "FREEZING COLD!" (emphasis NOT mine).

she caught me looking at her, actually i was dazed in her direction, and she proclaimed, "you know, i'm like goldilocks... everything needs to be JUST RIGHT!" i smiled and nodded.

annoying, true... but a second later she told the guy behind the counter that he needed to not take life so seriously and that he should drink more on the job - lol - then she stated quite loudly for the whole cafe to hear, "you know what?!? I'M going to drink lots of wine now... i'm stressed out."

next time is saw here was when she was walking back to new table with a large glass of white wine and a smile = )

i think i may like this place.

one of those "touchy" subjects...

yeah, this is a "touchy subject" because noone ever wants to talk about it because it's just one of those things that you accept to be true and expect to be sent to hell for thinking about... but i'm willing to take the risk to figure it out.

what the HELL is "old-person" smell?

i mean, i know it's the smell that most elderly people exude at one time or another... but what i mean is what CAUSES it? what causes them to smell up an elevator or mail room in a matter of seconds? what causes their homes to smell like it? what causes the smell that you learn to associate with "old people" before you associate the smell of "white" to a hospital?

it's not moth balls (as i thought for a long time) because moth balls are bearable... it's not poop... god i hope it's not. it's not their breath, or hair, or pits, or clothes... i just want to know.

*sigh*

i broke the silence... i can see my handbasket pulling-up to the front door as i type...

goin' thru a phase

sorry for my silence as of late.  occasionally i go thru introverted phases when i don't talk to friends much, am terrible at emailing people, HATE gatherings, and just want to relax by myself or at most one other person.  i go to bed earlier than usual, spend more time making myself breakfasts or nice dinners, walk considerably slower than usual, and in general i just savor the intimacy of being alone.  being the first time i've been thru one of these phases for a LONG time i'm noticing that i also shirk away from blogging, who'd-a-thunk!?!?!  lol  i guess it's no surprise  = )

so if you're waiting for an email or call to be returned... if you're waiting to hang out cause it's been "so long"... or if you're just wondering why the fuck i haven't been blogging... well just pull your panties out of your ass and try slowing down too.  i'm fine... it's a very deeply spiritual time for me to just relax and take life the way i usually don't get to take it... slowly and one. blessed. moment. at. a. time.

*hugs to everyone*
