P.S.

Sorry, mom and dad, if you're reading this. I know I was raised better. Who am I kidding...their computer is so virus-laden that they'll never get to this blog.

FUCK!

I just realized that we have water coming through our roof into the house. I was walking through the bedroom barefoot when I stepped in a wet spot on the floor. At first, I thought maybe Hannah had an accident, but she never does that. It immediately donned on me that it's been raining all day. Chris and I have suspected that our roof might be leaking, but this is confirmation that our fears were correct. I guess I won't have any fun spending money after all. GODDAMMIT! I'm going to sue that shitty inspector.

A Pleasant Surprise

I got my bonus check today for last fiscal year's performance. Yea! With it, I'm going to pay off the last of my bitch student loans from undergrad. With what's left over, I'm going to treat myself to something; I'm not sure what yet, but I'm sure I can blow a wad on myself. (Well, I know I can do that). Maybe a new leather couch or do something fun like go to Vegas. In two weeks, I'll have all the time in the world on my hands. On the other hand, maybe I should save it for a rainy day. Fuck that noise.

Another Boring Week Ahead

Alas comes another week of total boredom at work. Literally, I have nothing to do. My job will be ending in two weeks, so what's the point in starting any more projects? The internet can only keep me occupied for so long, and then it gets really boring. I will continue my job hunt at work, but that also only takes so much time. I guess I'll have to keep taking super long lunches, run errands and call friends to help my day pass. Anyone want to meet for lunch tomorrow?

Pictures From Yesterday

Here are the pictures from my family birthday celebration and the luau at Rick & Steve's. Both were a very fun time, and now I'm feeling a little hung over. Stupid alcohol, I love you.

All I Have to Say is...

John Wooley cracks my shit up! And, yes, it's 3 in the morning. By the way, John, I'm the youngest of the crowd. So, yes, I'm a young old guy.

Fun Evening Planned

Tonight should be a fun night. Chris and I are first going over to my sister's where we'll celebrate my 32nd birthday. From there, we'll stop by our friends Jim & Rob's place to see the demolition work they started yesterday (while drinking - you go gurls!) that will open their place up from a two family to a one family. Then, we're going to other friends' who are having a Luau party tonight. Chris and I went to Cappel's to buy our grass skirts and shell-decorated flip-flops. The Evite the guys sent out had 84 people say yes to the event along with several maybes and non-responders. It should be a great time - I can't wait to see how Stevie and Rick are going to host 84 people! It'll be a sardine-fest. I just hope they have BPM playing so that I can shake my tush (and grass skirt).

There Are No Good Gay Bars in Cincinnati

This town's gay bars suck. Maybe one exception would be Hamburger Mary's, but the bar area is currently closed for expansion. Carol's sucks - it's all old men and very little bar area. The Pipeline closed, Spurs closed, the Dock is the worst of all. Apparently there is one that opened on Broadway, but my friend Jim went and said it was a dirty dump. Then you have Simon Says that is just WRONG. The Serpent isn't really my scene, although I might have to make it my scene considering what we have to work with here. Why does Dayton, OH of all places have a way fucking cooler club than here? Cincinnati sucks.

What Exactly Do I Do?

Well, check it out for yourself. Here's my resume. I require 6 figures, bitches.

Job Hunting Sucks

I just spent a good 3 hours looking for jobs in the Cincinnati area. No matter how many attractive jobs there might be, the whole process just blows. Anymore, you can't just submit a resume, you are redirected onto the company's site and have to fill out additional interest forms or have to take a survey to see how much of a fit you are with their company. Fuckheads. Either I'm going to take the first job I am offered or I'm just going to start playing the lottery. No, that's a lie. And don't even get me started on the interviewing process. Why do I keep chasing companies out of Cincinnati? All I want to do is get vested! UGH.

So I'm Inked Now....Sort Of

I decided that I wanted to get a tattoo while on vacation. Unfortunately, the state of Massachusetts doesn't allow real tattoos, so I had to get a henna one. I guess I'm considering this a "test period" to see if I really want one. So far, I really, really like it, even though I can't see it. It's actually darker in person; for some reason, the camera is making it look light. They said it should last about 6 weeks, so once it wears off or fades away, I'll make the ultimate decision. Do you like?

Oh Yeah

I turned 32 on Saturday. Although, the birthday was kind of anti-climactic after spending several hours in Logan Airport. It's all good though, I was with good company. Plus, we had fun ripping on all the stupid Delta check-in people. The best part was when our friend Bob told one of them to Fuck Off. Momma, when are you quitting that place?

Last Dance, Last Dance, Toniiiiiiiiiight

What an awesome time we all had in P-Town. I can't even begin to describe everything that went on, but it was pure entertainment the whole time. Chris and I celebrated our 4th anniversary together there and bought rings to mark the occasion. Here's a list of some of the highlights of the trip. (I won't go into specific details, but ask me and I'll tell ya).

1. The Bike Police (two drunkards on a bike pulling other bikers over)
2. Calling everyone Stephanie as they walked by (and them calling us Stephanie back the next day)
3. Tea Dance everyday
4. Weather in the 70's and 80's (ha-ha Cincinnatians)
5. Granny getting a lap dance by a Bacardi go-go boy
6. Kyle and Travis going to buy some fun club clothes, deciding they didn't fit, and got a Reece's Cup instead
7. A little bit of Ecstasy...
8. The awesome house we stayed at
9. The Stooges and Scrannahs
10. Oh yeah, HOT MEN EVERYWHERE

You can check out pictures of the debauchery here.

We're Off

We'll be leaving here in a couple of hours to head to the airport. Agenda? 1. Get to the airport 2. Check in 3. Go directly to the bar 4. Board Plane 5. Arrive in Paradise (well, not really, but at least Boston)

Don't forget to look for us on the P-Town webcam.

Have a good week at work, bitches!

Here's What I'm Looking Forward To

Tomorrow's the Big Day!

We leave tomorrow for Provincetown for Carnival Week. I can't wait, I've been looking forward to this trip since we first booked our flights about 6 months ago. All I have to do is pack tomorrow, and I ended up taking the day off. So, packing will occupy me for about an hour. Then, I'll be bouncing off the walls in anticipation of going to CVG. The best part is that friends of ours will be arriving at the same time in Boston from Charlotte, NC. Let the Alcoholiday begin! By the way, the map is of driving directions from our house to the house we'll stay in once we arrive. But, we're flying, so it will be much more direct. I'm sure I'll be writing more tomorrow since I'll be bored out of my mind, but I promise, I won't be boring you to death about this vacation. Or will I?????

I Didn't Think I'd Ever Admit This...

But, I actually like a Mariah Carey song. Technically, it's her song, but not really. The version in particular that I'm hooked on these days is "We Belong Together - Reconstruction Mix" by Peter Rauhofer. It's addictive and it's been in my head all day. There, I said it. I like a Mariah song. I know, I'm gay.

What a Shame. Release it, release it!

Colin Ferrell is a hottie. I just hope that the tape gets released eventually. Who cares that he's having sex with a woman, I just want to see him buck naked.

I'm a Very Lucky Boy...

To have a caring, generous, awesome partner. Tonight, Chris surprised me with a new digital camera for my birthday. I'm not one to gloat over expensive gifts and I'm not a money whore. (Just ask everyone, I tend to be monetarily conservative). The reason why I wanted to recognize this, and him, is that he saw that I was looking into new cameras and took note. I, by no means, was in the immediate market, but had kind of a mental wish list. Chris observantly realized this and got me a very thoughtful and GENEROUS gift for my birthday - more than a week away. The best part is that he gave it to me early so that I could use it on vacation on Provincetown. All I can say is, Chris, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU x10 and will always. I'm so glad I came up to you at the Dock (very wuss-like) and asked you out. You are my world.

Look at this Waste of Life

So, I'm sitting here reading email, checking my blog, etc., and this is what I look over to see. Go ahead and help yourself to the couch, Hannah. Little whore.

Travelers Checks or Debit Card

Chris has mentioned that he might get travelers checks to take to Provincetown. I don't understand why, because a debit card is just about as secure as travelers checks. I'm not ripping on you bee-bee, but I don't plan on getting travelers checks. I would have to make a special trip to get them, and who knows if some of the shops up there will take them. When I go out, I bring only my ID and cash. That way, I'm not in fear of losing my wallet or being pick-pocketed. I also keep them in my front pocket. Regardless, I personally don't see the need for travelers checks for this trip. There is an ATM right on Commercial Street that I can hit whenever I need to. What do y'all think?

What Ever Happened to the Marathon Bar?

Remember this delicious, long, criss-crossed stick of chocolate-covered caramel? I used to love these growing up, but one day when I wasn't paying attention, they disappeared. I can't even find a picture of the old bar itself, just this wannabe replacement that you can only order online. Stupid marketing people, they never know what's good.

I am so SICK of this

This has been one of the hottest summers in many years - with temperatures in the 90s like 22 out of 60 days. The shitty part about Cincinnati is that the humidity is so high that it feels like you can't breathe when you're out in this kind of weather. I'm over summer. Bring me fall.

These are Really Cool Dogs

I would consider getting one of these if I were to get another dog. The last time we all went down to my parents' lakehouse, a dog of this breed ended up showing up and hanging out with us most of the weekend. It turns out that it was one of the neighbor's dog, but it was really fucking cool. It was laid back, nice, and got along fantastically with Hannah. Chris and I have talked about getting another dog, but we'll see. Apparently, this breed is kind of rare and expensive. Cool as shit though.

You've Got to be Kidding Me

This is just wrong. Pupe

I Can't Wait!!!

We leave for Provincetown this coming Friday and will be there through August 20th. I am so stoked, it's beyond belief. We'll be staying at 119 Commercial Street in a kick-ass house. It's in a PERFECT location for everything, most importantly the people watching. There is a webcam of Commercial Street that you can watch - keep an eye out for us! Also during the week is Carnival - a whole week of special festivities. And LOTS of gay mens! Can I stress how much I'm looking forward to this vacation????? Well, I can't wait, pussies.

And So Does Laura Wooley...

If you need a great designer, you live in the Cleveland area, or not, feel free to contact Laura Wooley. She can turn anything into magic. Once again, we've had a great visit to Cleveland.

John Wooley Rules

'nuff said.

Weekend Roadtrip

Well, we're getting ready to take off for Cleveland to visit with friends and the in-laws. It will be fun to see all the college crew again. Plus, we'll be boating on Lake Erie on Saturday. There will be more than enough (probably too much) alcohol flowing. I'll update you all on Sunday when we get back with pictures, etc. Here's where we'll be staying once we get there. Ciao Baby Canteenas.

I HATE OHIO / KENTUCKY DRIVERS

Why in the FUCK do people insist on going 60 mph in the high speed lane in Cincinnati? I have heard complaints by multiple people (on whether which state drivers are the worst), but it doesn't matter which state is worst to me. The stupid motherfuckers are always causing backups on the interstates, because for some reason, they feel the need to be in the most left-hand lane. IF YOU DUMB-FUCKS can read, it says "Slower Traffic Keep Right." Maybe it's the fact that people can't read. Who knows. Regardless, it causes road rage, not only in me, but in many other drivers. I blame part of the problem on Cincinnati for not expanding I-75 yet (it should have been done 5 years ago or more). But, it doesn't matter which road/highway you're on, there are always STUPID FUCKING IDIOTS going slow in the high-speed lane. The biggest pisser is when those slow people see you start to speed up to go around them, then speed up to not let you pass. Let this be a message to all those retard drivers: YOU SUCK DEAD MONKEY ASS AND SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED ON THE ROAD.

Well, Well, Well....

This is Truly Fucked Up

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Fun, Fun, Fun

Chris and I just got back from Frickers in North College Hill and had a grand ole time. They have some kick-ass chicken chunks by the way. Now I'm having a beer and listening to Technologic by Daft Punk. It's a great song - very Daft Punk. The little guy in the video reminds me of a cross between Chucky from those horror movies and some fucked up Marilyn Manson videos. My favorite video to this day is also by Daft Punk. It's the video to Around the World. I'll be more than happy to send it to you if you'd like to see it. I just don't have a link to put on here. I also get a kick out of the fact that Daft Punk (a two man group) has never shown their faces. At all. Brilliant!

This is Pretty Amazing

An Airbus A340 crashed off the runway landing in Toronto, ON. 309 passengers and the entire crew lived, no fatalities. Here are some pictures of the wreckage. I guess God really doesn't hate the Canadians. Ha.

As Promised...

Here's a picture off of my new phone. I met Mother at the park in Hyde Park square to have a few adult beverages. As you can see, Mother loves her beer. See, you can tell by her belly. Haha, JUST KIDDING, Mommy.

Off the new phone

Well, I thought I could download a picture off my new phone, but apparently, I have to change some settings. Word to the wise for those that buy off of Ebay. Here's a not-so-much picture that I tried downloading from tonight. You'll at least get the picture.

No, that's not a tiny hat on my head, it's a sign in back. Anyway, we had fun, and that's all that matters. I'll upload the REAL picture(s) from tonight sometime manana.

Time for me to hit the hay. Wish it were the bong.

I'm Half Dead

So, I went onto DeathClock.com and found out that I'll only live until I'm 67. Great, I'm halfway there already. The worst part is that I die on my older sister's birthday - January 6th. I better get in as much drinking, drugs and dick as I can until then. (Just kidding about the dick part, unless it's my bee-bee Chris).

Which Do You Like Better?

This is a picture of my current car. (Not my car, but the same model and color).

Lexus IS300

Here is its replacement coming out this fall.

Lexus IS350

In my opinion, there are pluses and minuses to each. The current model has that raw, sporty look to it and is very unique compared to other Lexus models. However, the interior is not as up to Lexus standards - it's more Toyota-ie (with more plastic and inferior materials). The new model looks much more refined and offers a lot more luxury, as well as bells and whistles. But, it lacks that unique balls-to-the-wall stance. Just my opinion. I am by no means in the market right now, but who knows, I might be a kick-ass raise when I start a new job.

Stupid UPS

I came home at lunch today to get my phone, but UPS hadn't delivered it yet. So, I went back to work and at 1:12, they apparently tried delivering it. But, they didn't leave it because they said it had to be signed for. UGH. They will only attempt delivering it one more time and they if now one is there to sign again, they'll send it back to the sender. Bitches! So, I just called the 800 number and changed it to hold for pickup. Guess I'll be driving downtown at lunch tomorrow. That's OK, I can stare at all the cute boys while I'm down there.
