Betseyville

Within the past week or two I have seen a huge explosion of the amount of Betsey Johnson bags I see women carrying. I wonder if their sold out at Loehman's where I always see her bags marked down to about half the original price.

Identity

I've been living in LA for about 6 years now and I think I'm tough and adabted but I'll always be really naive. So here's where I'm going with this. The Gold's Gym in West Hollywood is notorious for being the home away from home for gay porn stars. I've known this for a few years. So when there was an amazingly huge and gorgeous personal trainer in my health class I was in love immediatly. I mean huge, his arms are the size of my thighs!! So one day when I was playing around on facebook I came across what I knew had to be a picture of him on accident. I immediatly saved it always thinking I'll have to post the pic on my blog. The next day I did some more search on him and discovered he's a Colt Model. Colt is a very well known porn production company. But then I thought, well there would go my chances of being anything more then friends with him if I posted it on my blog. Well, the day has come that I'm going to put it in a blog because if you do porn you obviously want people to see you in any media because isn't that what they want. He's not on my friends list and if he does see this I hope we can still be friends cause I think your smart and gorgeous and we'd have fun splitting each other in half! Colt even makes a life size replica if you know what I mean...

Ricky Martin comes out!!

Congratulations to Ricky Martin for opening up about his sexuality. The whole gay community knew this for a very long time but I'm glad he took his time and came out when he was ready and not because he was forced. Yay for Ricky

Scott and I were just listening to him earlier on our way to lunch, how ironic!!

Chinese Firedrill

Chinese firedrill…will not quite. This morning at about 8am must have been the day to test the fire alarm about 10 or more times. I lost count and did a pretty good job of sleeping through them until there was a real one at straight up 11am.

Bus Ride through Hollywood

You never know what you'll see when your on the bus, especially in Hollywood. So this passenger got on with a very interesting...hat I'll call it. I'll guess he was also homeless and as he made his way to the back of the bus he was saying, "Sorry, I'm a shithead. I know, I'm a shithead." I thought, you know what I'm gonna take a picture and I wasn't the only one. A tourist and I took pictures. Now, it's a really shitty picture cause he then bent over but the red and yellow...thing is his hat!

Feel the Steel

Monday nights at House of Blues has become almost a regular event for me on Monday nights. One of my girlfriends from skating knows "people." We get to talk a lot with the lead singer and the guitar player. I'm gonna include some pics I took but they suck so I'm also gonna post some of the professional ones from there website. Enjoy the "shock-her!"

Big Kansas Fan!!

So I was just logging onto Yahoo to check my email and the lead story was No. 1 Kansas got eliminated by UNI! Alright I am a huge Kansas fan cause that's where I went to college from 99-02. I didn't graduate and flunked out of the School of Journalism cause I was taking a course in the summer to catch up so I was much more concerned about hanging out at my pool drinking beer and well drinking more beer out at bars. Hello, it was one of the biggest party school in the country which my mom warned me about but that didn't convince me to stay and go to GCCC. Hell no i wanted out of small town Kansas. So, here's my point. I'm a big Kansas Jayhawk fan but I had the wrong time of when the game would start. On the KU Athletics page it had the start time in Central Time, fuck!! Rock Chalk Jayhawk

Blades= LA's Gay Hockey Team

Two weeks ago today I saw the LA Kings lose. But in the more important game I wanted to see the Blades had a shut-out. Ah, who cares what their team was called. The queers killed the straights, not the other way around. And I got to meet and flirt with the one I wanted to so all in all a really good night!

18+ Nights

Is Tigerheat all about getting drunk and taking pictures for your facebook page?
Oh dear!!

Is Mickey's Bar in WeHo cool?

So I think Mickey’s is really fun. I think gay people in LA just like to say that Mickey’s is over but if you go you bump into friends you know and end up having a really good time. I think people think it’s cool to say that just because if you say you like Mickey’s the gays in this town would think your not cool or something.

One of the first good friends I met in LA was dating someone that worked at Mickey’s. His boyfriend kicked him out of the house the shared with nothing. He became homeless. He told me lots of horrible stories that I won’t share here but when the fire closed Michey's for almost a year I thought what a sign that Karma exists.

Happy St Patty's Day from Downtown LA Skid Row

I got pinched once today during my ballet class. I was stretching with one leg in the air and this girl pinched the back of my thigh for not wearing green!

My First Blog from Skid Row!! ;)

Well, well well. I finally have brought myself a computer and successfully am hooked upto the internet in my apartment. Slow in getting caught up with the technology age I’m glad I won’t be needing to go to the downtown public library anymore where so many of the homeless in LA spend their days doing hooker baths. Am I an elitist? I don’t think so. I wonder what my friends would say? Now that I’m going back to school, I wonder if majoring in drug and alcohol counseling is the right fit. I really want to study crystalmeth and its affects on the gay community. As I meet new friends and talk about my life everyone is shocked to find out I call Skid Row home. Skid Row is in downtown LA where heroin, crack and marijuana are available right around the corner or in your neighbors apartment. Almost all of these facilities are supposed to be drug free. There old hotels converted into very small apartments by SRO but the reality is very different from the leases residents signed. And I was one of them. For over a year I used meth and was able to pass every drug test. Once, with the help of cider vinegar. Newly sober I live a much different lifestyle now. When I’m walking around downtown I blend into the loft living crowd. You know those trendy hipsters with money. I don’t look like the typical person living on Skid Row!
