The Push, The Gym, a Bad Bottle of Wine, and a Webcam

Drink at your own RISK!

By reading that title you’re probably thinking that this post will be some hell-bent torrid sex story with an Internet audience…..well, sorry to disappoint, but it’s not. But, what I can tell you is that it was a weekend of highs and lows. The weekend started with dinner at Delux, another PHX “secret gay” place, with my friend Tim. Had a great time and made an obligatory appearance at Amsterdam for a couple of drinks. It was a pretty slow night there, so only stayed for a couple of drinks and left within an hour of being there. What never ceases to amaze me though, is the arrogance of some guys. As we were leaving we were making our way to the door, and some idiot just stood there and would not move out of the way. I was sorta taken back because well, I’m 6’3, and people, by nature, usually move out of my way. Sorta makes me the “tour guide” in crowded places…you know like those tours at museums where the guy holds up the flag and the crowd follows through? Anyway, the dude would just not move, and he had a football field of space. I really couldn’t figure it out…did he want me to trample all over him? (You know some guys are into that stuff). Anyway…I finally essentially pushed the guy out of the way, and probably knocked his tiara off in the process. So what’s the lesson here? Push idiots out of the way and well…you’ll get out of the bar. Maybe it’s my Midwest upbringing, or maybe it’s just common courtesy…who knows….but definitely arrogance, and he had NOTHING to be arrogant about. Ask my friend Tim.

My Saturday was pretty boring. Went to the gym, did a back workout and worked on the arms. I’m obsessed with my arms as it’s the one thing I want. BIG arms. In fact that’s the top of my Christmas list this year, “big god damn arms”. Nothing is sexier to me than hot arms…and well….a hot….everything else. Hey why not go for gusto? As for Saturday night, I made myself some chow and opened a bottle of Beringer Chardonnay and decided to empty out my Tivo machine. Unfortunately, either the wine was bad, or I had a migraine coming. Yup, a migraine. Haven’t had one of those in about a year, but it hit…like a Mack Truck. So, I crawled up my stairs, took 4 Advil a Xanax, hopped into bed and curled up into a ball and passed out. Ah, life was good about 20 minutes later.

As for Sunday….it was pool day. My complex has a great pool. Travis usually comes over and we lay out….and every so often there’s a hot guy or two. As it turns out, the pool was filled with all these girls from the complex. But what was funny was the 2 lesbians in the pool frolicking (and fondling) with each other. One of the “gals” was HUGE, in a muscular kinda way. The straight girls were a little quiet, and kept staring at the lesbians. It was a little strange…kinda like watching an episode of Zena, but with bikinis and a pool. After a “dip with the dykes”, Travis and I went shopping at Chandler Mall, where I broke down to the marketing genius of Steve Jobs and bought an apple iSight for my Powerbook. Yes, I have a webcam. Well….not a “webcam”….just the hardware….ah….never mind…I see puns flying all around the room. Anyway, if you have AIM or iChat, I should be able to do video web conferencing. Hopefully I will use it…..for legitimate reasons….of course.

Well, this week should be fun…flying to Colorado Springs, which I like to call “The most conservative city in the West”. I’ll try to take some pictures, as the landscape there is quite beautiful. Maybe I’ll even have a story to tell. There is an Air Force Academy there………..
