The Cork
|
Ok, so I lied.
Journal entry after all. Without fotos this time.
I think I took enough last week to cover my photo quotient.
I was also inspired by one very very very large penis. . .
Owned by the producer of TheCorky.com, who has quite a large unit, matched by an equally impressive mind. (Doncha hate him already!)
“Corky” has been around the net as long as I have, and we've crossed paths on occasions. I spotted his profile on BigMuscle.com and saw he had posted his web address, so it reminded me to make a visit and see what's been happenin' in his life. While I was cruising through his site, I got BigMuscle email from him saying “Howdy”. Very Twilight Zone.
I've been to thecorky.com several times in the past. I've always liked his clean design aesthetic, and always skim his “quickies” section. This would be his blogging area.
He's got some great links in there. An educational site on Urinals that is bound to piss someone off. (Sorry, couldn't help myself). He also has some links to other blog sites. From there it all snowballed, and I got lost in web log nirvana. Three hours just evaporated.
I found “True Porn Clerk Stories” written by Ali Davis, to be particularly captivating.
This blog can be found on an improv site, where I guess improv artists have free reign to practice the art form of blogging. I can't imagine a better group of people to take up this task. Life is an improv after all.
I highly recommend you go over and check out True Porn Clerk Stories, but be forewarned, you will need to have a couple hours free to read the four pages of entries. Ali Davis can WRITE! This gals got talent.
I got curious about the improvisation site, so I scanned the other blog titles. I dipped into a few and found not everyone could write as well as Ms. Davis.
The very last blog was called “See How Much Ass I Get” written by ShaneXtopher, which uh..caught my eye.
Here is a young handsome guy who just moved into the West Village. He decided to chronicle his hunt for ass. His blogging starts out a little rough and whimsical, but quickly turns into something far deeper.
Shane's hunt for ass changes quickly as he begins to clarify, classify, and log the ass he finds. Ass quickly takes on multiple meanings, and by page two, you will be “there” with him- ass in hand.
Not sure why I liked this blog. Maybe cuz it is so anonymous. Something I have lost. I can't write what he writes about. I learned quickly that I had to keep all comments positive and if there is unhappiness to report, its got be about me.
I can't write about little one night stands, and sexual interludes, unless they are clearly waaaaaaaay in the past.
So there is a freedom there I wish I had, but I also relate to his search for love in the big city….and since I think most of us are looking for love, we can all relate.
Give it a try. It's a 3 Act Play.
I'm not doing my Annual Buyer's Guide this year. I have the time. I have the products. What I don't have is variety. Believe it or not, the same products I would recommend are virtually the same. The same MP3 players, iPods, cameras…all are the same, just freshened up a bit.
There are a few new hard drive players on the market giving Apple a run for the money, but I haven't had any first hand experience with them. Canon is still my favorite maker of little digital cameras for events and travel.
I do however have one really clever “gay” gift idea.
I know some of you are looking for something fun and queer to give ur buds. But it just doesn't seem like Christmas when you give a nakie guy calendar (complete with a scratch off holiday hunk postcard), leather accessories or a teddy bear with a boner. House of Morecock might be better if you go out and buy it yourself. I myself can't bring myself to wrap cobalt glass penis with its own rainbow carrying bag. It's just too..uh..GAY! Save those for Birfadays.
Ok, maybe you know ONE guy that might like that, but what you gonna do for all your other friends?
James Asaal writes a very clever comic book called Adam and Andy. Adam and Andy are a 30-something long-term couple just living their lives. It's sexy, funny, and honest. He totally captures what its like to be a “gay married” couple.
No nudity here guys, so it is Mother Approved.
I love this book (Sent to me by brisnot- thank you kind sir!) and I am guessing you will like it too. The price is right too.
Head on over to his site and check out the archives to get a feel for the stories. Then order the book now. Christmas is coming soon!
Weekend Recap
I spent Friday night blogging.
Saturday I REALLY cleaned the house. Got out the steam vac and did the carpets. Finished by 2pm, and headed over to Barbara's to fix the BatCam.
While driving over, I called my Mom to tell her I wasn't gonna come home for Christmas.
With Andrew's visit, Costa Rica, and all the other CIA travel, I have so little vacation left. And money. Oh..hahahahahaha. I got a bonus and it is just enough to pay down a credit card. (remember Kitty! vet bills? And my dental work?) Been chipping away at it, but wanted to get that done and not go into the New Year with it. I can tell I have two more teeth that need a good drillin.
Plus, I wanted to stay home for a bit. Ya know, not be around anyone else. Definitely in my loner mode. Stayed by myself all weekend and relished my me me me time.
I had aslo been thinking about going to Vegas again for the porn convention the first week, but that always falls so close to Christmas, its like I am forever traveling this time of year.
So Mom's was not having it. She was very sweet about it and sounded all disappointed, but I have to face it, I don't like disappointing my parents at all. The minute she said she was sad about it, I was all like “Ok, let me see what I can find flight-wise.” I love my moms.
The credit cards will stay un paid off for a while longer. Isn't that the Christmas way?
Found a ticket to Denver on the 24th, 6:30am flight. Good lord, not another one. Oh well, it makes for a quick flight, cuz I will def. be asleep for it.
I get back on Sunday the 28th at about 10:30pm.
So I will only miss one day of work over the Holidays. Not bad.
Where was I?
Oh yeah, by now it was Saturday night, and I couldn't make myself sit at my computer anymore.
So I snuggled up with the Two Towers uber-extended four disk set. Through out the week I had been watching the two bonus material CD's so I was ready to dive into the two CD's that make up the extended version of the movie.
Peter Jackson and his crew are brilliant!
The scenes they stuck back in are so appropriate, they should not have gotten cut- ok, so it would have been way too long, but I remember having to explain certain details to my parents like “Why was he screaming when they had the rope on Gollum” (The rope is Elven made so it DOES actually burn him)
I crawled into bed about 11pm only to wake up with a giant sore throat and headache. Cedar trees are out having sex right now, so I went into the kitchen and doped myself up on antihistamines and decons. Went back to bed, and slept till..11am!
I did a little work, chatted online for a bit, then decided to go see Matrix Revolutions while it was still in the theatre. I enjoyed it, but glad I paid the matinee price! One thing did bother me. ~SPOILER WARNING~ Why the heck did the brothers decide to kill off Trinity again. Jeez...how many times did we see her die in the second movie. And to do it again. It wasn't just stupid...it was tedious.
Came home and raked leaves in the front yard. They were getting tracked into my clean house. Then back to my computer.
That's my weekend. I've been toying with website ideas this evening (Sunday) but mostly been working on this entry.
Not sure where I am going with the website. Its really in a holding pattern. I wanted to do some major overhauls, prune down the columns, but I haven't had anytime at all.
And the site is just so big now. Its more than one person can handle in terms of trying to give it an all new look. I'd have to throw away stuff. I can't bring myself to do that.
One thing that stays is Jeff Wietor's wallpapers.
I have to go on a rant about his stuff. Do you guys ever go look at this stuff?
It's brilliant! Not because he uses my images, but cuz he makes these great masterpieces out of nothing.
His stuff lately has been really inspired. Jeff is using some new tools, and the textures and shapes he is coming up with are knockdown awesome.
If you haven't ever grabbed one his wallpapers, do one now. I know, not everyone wants a hunky guy on their desktop- too gawdy- But most of his stuff is so beyond porn shots, that they need their own art gallery or museum.
Come on, try one on your monitor. You might be surprised at how good they look when they fill up your screen.
