I have Followers!?

So, I know I haven't been faithful to my old blog like a real friend should be, but I had a "kinda cute" guy :-) remind me of it today and I signed in to read some of my old posts and maybe write and had a little bit of an epiphaniy!! I have FOLLOWERS! (and by the way, I'm kinda funny, too!) WTF? That feels awesome to see that people are interested in what I have to write. Seriously? That, my friends, or shall I say, my followers, is badazz!! Thanks for being so interested in what little I have to say. It may be 5 or 10 today, but that's a start, right? Now, I feel like I need to post (legitimately good) stuff on here! I suppose I can post some of my creative work, and I feel a little bit ridiculous that I haven't thought of that before. I always just get on here and post what I'm feeling or what I'm doing. So, IT's ON!!!

So, anyhoo...I don't have much to say other that that. (LOL) I am just so touched that people actually read what I have to write. It's awesome! It kind of makes me feel like my writing career has started. I know....I'm probably reading too much into it, but I choose to be optimistic....nothing wrong with that, right? :-)

Well, now that I'm in here, of course, I can't stop writing right away. This July 4tth weekend was pretty kosh! (as in kosher) I had a really good time. We went to a couple parties, I had a date with a guy who's first inclination was to grab my crotch and want to sleep together (eesh, really?! Is everybody like that here?). Not to say he wasn't a good guy. He was quite funny and good looking, but seriously I'm so over the "meet and freak" situation. Can't we just meet, laugh, get to know each other, get turned on by each other's natural conversation and sensuality and then grope each other and get our hot sex on after that? I've had quite a few of those initial sex encounters and I'm just not doing that anymore (mostly)!

At least that means that I still have that sexual thing that turns people on, though, right? Except I wish I could turn that off and turn on the "I'm a great catch and the great sex comes after the great conversation" switch. It must be on the fritz or something. It seems like the minute I meet somebody and I say that I'm not trying to get into their pants right away, it's like "Oh, OK, I'll call you back." So many people are just out for the quick sex. Yeah, OK. Sex is good. I'm the first to admit that. Me likee orgasmo!! But what happens after that? Shouldn't you figure that out first? I mean if you're really interested in someone for the long haul, you should wanna know these things. There are so many people who just don't care about that. it's the sex, it's the cum, it's the "right this moment" factor. Luckily, I don't get depressed easily. So, there's that!

I'm a very hot-natured person, Lord knows how I love my daily dose of Xtube and Movie Monster, but I can always get a quickie from that. I want more. I want to be able to hold someone and kiss them deeply and just snuggle next to them, which of course, makes me hard as a rock. It's on after that. But the people that I've been meeting keep trying to skip that part. I AIN'T HAVIN' IT! I may be old-fashioned, but I don't give a what! I know who I am and I know what I like. I've had a couple of guys to say to me, "We're two guys. Guys should be wanting sex." Guys DO want sex. I want sex! But, I want it with who I want it with.....not any old f*ckstick that wants to do it with me at the drop of a condom. If that were the case, I could just have sex and nothing else....all the time. But, I'm so over that. And I'm NOT knocking anybody who has that inclination. I used to be that guy. But, now that I've grown up, matured, and am looking for something serious, that just isn't my stylo anymore. What turns me on is someone who is really interested in me for my mind, for my conversation, and for who I am. Not just for what I have in my pants. The more someone appreciates the other stuff, the better everything else works, ya know? But, how in the world did I ever go off on this tangent! LOL

I was talking about the 4th weekend. Dayum! I could go on all night, cause I completely missed talkin' about Pride weekend. But, I won't. So, in a nutshell, the 4th weekend went like this: I was off Friday, so I chilled, cleaned up the crib, did my reading for school and then went to 341's. Met Tim at 341's, hung out with him for the evening, invited him to hang out with me on Saturday at the barbeques with Larry and Jared. Saturday, I picked him up (he wasn't even ready when I got there! that says a lot) we went to the first party, it wasn't happening so we went back over to team lared's and had a cocktail. Jared and Tim came to the agreement that we should just stay there and not go to the other barbeque and play Monopoly! As it turns out they are both huge Monopoly fans. Tim threatened to beat Jared's ass...Jared was ALL about that, cause there's not a challenge that he won't meet!! I didn't have an issue with it cause I love my games, so we just hung there and played games for the evening.

After we left there, I took Tim home, since he wasn't interested in hanging out anymore unless we were having sex (jeez, really?) and I came home. Sunday, I got up and took my car to get the oil changed, Jared picked me up and we took a walk around Lake Calhoun while that was being done. After that, we picked up the car, went back to their house and chilled til it was time to go to ANOTHER barbeque which was hosted by Andy, who's the team captain of Andy's Angels, which is our volunteer team for the Red Ribbon Ride. I'm a member this year for the first time and I'm completely stoked to be a part of it. It's an annual ride to raise money for people with HIV and AIDS and it's so awesome that I have friends who contribute to that cause. I've always been interested in volunteering and they convinced me to be a part of it this year.

Anyhoo, Dayum!! I was only logging on to say thanks to my "followers"....I still can't believe that. But, I so appreciate people reading my stuff! OK. I promise to have more stuff to print, to say, to share.

Please send me any comments that you have!! daraldmurray@yahoo.com!
