Life Update

Upon request I've decided to get off my butt and add something to this blog. It’s been almost 2 months and a lot of things have changed. The big one is that I am now in a new position at work.. Same Religious Right Bank that I’ve always been at, but different position. I now work in loan operations instead of deposit operations. The job will do for a while I guess. It is my fourth position in 7 years there… OMG.. Is that bad? Honestly, I am so sick of banking. I have never had an interest in it at all. I just needed a job really bad after I dropped out of college. Big Mistake. It was for stupid reasons too. I still haven’t decided if I was running away from my problems or if it was the best thing for me at the time. Well I guess my sanity was worth it. I think if I had stayed I probably wouldn’t be here today. Seriously.

It’s kind of sad to think about spending 9 hours a day doing something you don’t give a crap about. I sometimes wonder if I ask for too much. Should I just try to find something that pays well and just do it? The way I see it is that if I give that much time out of my life to something it had better be something that I’m interested in and something that will fulfill me. I’ve actually been thinking about going back to school, but the only way I could do that would be to withdraw all of my retirement. It’s a thought. Does anyone know how long college courses are good for? I have an associate degree in liberal arts which is the equivalent of the first 2 years of college. I also have another year of additional classes… So close.. I’m not sure I could decide on what to major in anyway. I was majoring in GIS (Geographical Information Systems), but the Information Systems was a little more than I’d bargained for. I’m very computer literate as far as using applications, etc., but I’m not gonna sit here and rebuild your network or anything to that degree. I had actually taken some Horticulture classes at the local community college recently which were really cool too.

It is now spring and I am elated. I am so happy for all the trees to be green and everything else in full bloom. I can’t wait for the hummingbirds to come back to my yard. I bought some more feeders at the store the other day.

It’s Friday night and we just got home from eating Vietnamese and watching jets take off and land at the airport overlook. I love Vietnamese. It is the best Asian food I’ve tried yet! It is so light and healthy. I usually get something with tofu in it. They have a ton of tofu dishes. We have always gotten superb service there too. I’m just amazed at how good the food is considering it is in a kind of "shady" part of the city.

They jets are awesome too. I know it’s nerdy, but we both get off watching jets at the airport, especially dreaming we are on one of them. The highlight of the night was getting to see the big A330 take off on it’s way to Europe. That’s sucker’s huge! You know gay men are a bunch of size queens! 2 more weeks and we will be on out little "baby" jet flying to Houston and then on to SLC!!!!!!! Speaking of queens, it’s funny to watch the cars on the back row of the parking lot.. It is a major "hookup spot" for old married men to go get a blow job..

I’m starting to get my body hydrated in preparation for the dry air of Utah. I’ve been trying to drink lots of water. I need to because I’ve been fighting dehydration for a while it seems. It seems like every time I drink, I get so dehydrated the next day. Is there something wrong with me or is it a sign of getting older? You know I will be the big 3-0 in less than a month. I only drank like 4-5 beers last night and I’ve felt like crap all day today. I’m actually tempted to quit drinking all together, but I fear that I would be a party pooper at social events. Alcohol helps me relax and be myself and have fun when I’m in a social situation. I told David that I was just going to start smoking pot again in place of alcohol, but he wasn’t too thrilled with the idea. It’s been a year or so since I’ve done that. Although in my high school and early college days, I could have outsmoked anyone. We had plenty of practice using the blue 2- hosed bong between the front seats of the car! Hehe.

Random thoughts:
I’m tired of having to think about whether I need to make a new paragraph!

My court date for my speeding ticket has been rescheduled for this Monday. My lawyer had better get me out of it. It’s been so long, I’ve almost forgotten about it.
Tomorrow is Charlotte Gay Pride.. Yay!! It will probably be small and depressing, but you’ve got to start somewhere. Actually, I think it will be the fifth year. They are having the AIDS walk downtown in the morning also. We’ll be going to pride to make our presence known. There are supposed to be a ton of "bible-beater" protestors. I wish they would get a life!

We are also going to our friend Tim’s graduation party tomorrow night. It should be fun. We’ve never met his partner before. I hope they invite us back over cause they have a pool! Yay!! Swimming Wuzzy!

We took a trip to Charleston last month and stayed with a friend. It was so beautiful. We will definitely be back later this summer. I am all about some Spanish Moss hanging in the trees… I wish it would grow here, but we are a little too far north and inland for it to grow naturally, but with global warming there’s always hope. I was looking at the skyline tonight from the airport and there was a huge brown cloud over the city. Really nasty. We have already had one "Code Orange" air quality day here this spring. I can only imagine what it will be like in a few years.

I’m also ready to go camping since we have all the supplies. There are 2 pretty big gay campgrounds within a few hours drive of here, so we may be checking those out. We are still a little unsure about the clothing optional part.

Oh yeah, check this out. I had a dream the other night that I was in the White House and our wonderful President was trying to put the moves on me! We were on the couch and one of his secret service guys was in the room. Isn’t that weird? Then we went to the bedroom and he wanted me to top him! Then I woke up.. Freaky huh? I’d love to hear what the dream dictionary says about that!

Ok, enough rambling. I’m off to bed. Time to go love on David and dream of Flying Wuzzy!
