the crazy stuff we do..
when drinking...

(no that isn't me but I wish It was, or at least that I was the cameraman)
---
like last night's video. I made a couple more evidently but nobody will ever see them, I was in shock this morning when I clicked on one. Well, maybe shock isn't the word to use, perhaps horror would be more appropriate. No they aren't what you are thinking, perfectly clean, but completely embarassing. I'm not going to go out tonight (even with three offers, I will be strong)

---
This is a short post, I just woke up, have to run over to The Big E (It's the final weekend Yay!!) and then pick up my kids. We are actually going to spend the day there today, should be fun (and expensive). In a week or so I will have enough money to pay all my bills off, have a ridiculously extravagent weekend with the kids (we do this every year after the fair) and maybe enough left over to buy something cool, like this new PC I've been eyeing of late.

My latest Video..an experiment
yikes...

Me: Hello
Mike: Hey Jim, how are you doing? I had a wonderful time the other night
Me: Yea?
Mike: I searched and found all of your genealogy sites, amazing work, I had no idea!
Me: thanks, I've been at it since I was 16. Keeps me sane sometimes.
Mike: Yea. One problem tho, I cannot seem to locate your blog, I've searched everywhere.
Me: oh
Mike: What is the address?
Me: well, actually it's annonymous and I like to keep it away from the eyes of my family and friends.
Mike: ohhhh ok, I understand.
---
That will teach me to share my first and last name. I felt compelled to as he did first. I mean how can you not in that situation? I know he's harmless, and kind of sweet. I mean we did have an amazing conversation about our common Persian heritage and also some related interests. Maybe I am being too hard on him, he is closeted and from what I can gather has not had much experience, only "experimenting" for about two years. It's just the hookup thing I am not comfortable with. Yea of course I have done it in the past (very very rarely) but why is it that some people have only one thing on their mind? I think I totally surprised him when I started talking about history, genealogy and my political views. As a matter of fact he said "I was totally not expecting this conversation". I bet he wasn't. Ugh...

Am I ever going to make it to 100? The facts are getting more and more boring.

Today is physical inventory at work, I am sooo not looking forward to it. Since I am in IT I don't actually have to go into the warehouses and count, but I do need to key punch and process the counts through our system. The one thing I hate about this twice annual event is that every salesrep in the company (60something) is in my office, and they are needy people. I suppose the day will go by rather quickly.

I'm so tired this morning...

last night my son and I went to this amazing show down in Hartford. I hadn't been to this place before (The Webster Theatre) and because they had two stages, we missed the first (and most important to me) group, instead watching 5 small shows by local bands which were actually pretty decent. I've already seen The Hush Sound anyway (when they opened for Panic! last July) but still....they were the initial reason I snagged the tickets a while back. The three we did see were:

Daphne loves Derby
Copeland
Jack's Mannequin

I am falling more and more for Copeland and they were pretty amazing. But the highlight of the evening was definitely Jack's Mannequin, which I have been listening too pretty consistently of late in anticipation of the show. The lead singer Andrew McMahon (also of Something Corporate) set the room on fire, this kid has so much passion and sent the crowd into a fury I haven't seen in a long time. He is recently recovering from Leukemia, and donated the entire proceeds of the show to Cancer research. If you haven't checked them out, here's is a clip that started the show (the studio version of course, boots aren't up yet) :

Bruised

---
Standing for 5 hours straight on the cement floor took it's toll on us, at first I thought it was just me, but right before the last song my son told me he couldn't stand there anymore and we moved up toward the door which was carpeted and also had a place for him to sit. His mother called like 10 times, since it was a school night and she was kind of pissed off. No more mid-week shows during the school year I guess.
---
So Mike/Mikhail called last night at one point, obviously I didn't hear my cell and well wouldn't have answered anyway. He said that he had an incredible time last (Tuesday) night and thanked me, once again asking for my email address and this blog's url. I think giving him the blog addy would be a pretty cruel thing to do, hopefully he doesn't find it himself.

10 more useless things about me...
(I'm building up toward 100 remember)

27. I love Puerto Rican food and can make Arroz con Gandules to perfection.
28. The two most amazing cities I have ever visited were Copenhagen, Denmark and Toronto, Ontario.
29. I am not a beach person, I mean I love the ocean, but not sitting on a blanket roasting away.
30. I sleep fully dressed, even when I was not single. Which usually pissed my exes off.

should trust my instincts...

So I returned one of Mike's (Mikhail actually) 3 calls yesterday. He got right to the point, and asked if I had plans for the evening. I said no, he said he wanted to come to my condo. I misunderstood the original plans I guess. Then he popped the question:

him: Do you smoke?
(I'm thinking oh he's an anti smoker)
Me:
yea a little
him:
Because I have some I can bring
(now I really feel like an idiot, that one always gets me)
me:
No I don't smoke in that case.

Now I was a little uneasy. I thought about calling him back and canceling, but I didn't for some reason. I gave him directions and he said he would be over at like 7 or so. I cleaned up a bit, took a shower and waited. Around 7:15 my buzzer rang (we have a main entry door we have to buzz people in through). I hit the button, heard him come through the outside door and then...

Heard

Him

walking

up

the

stairs

and

then

the

knock...

I

open

the

door

and....




OMG! It's Mr. Bean!!

(hehe not really but a very close likeness)

---
He was carrying a six pack of Mike's Hard Lemonade (maybe it was a subtle hint). I kind of sort of recognized him, but not really. He was also a bit overweight (ok more than a bit). Oh yea and he stuttered constantly, getting stuck on (I would say) about every 5th word. I guess that doesn't come through on the voicemails, or maybe it's a nervous thing, I dunno.
---
He came in, sat down opened a Mike's and we started talking. It was an interesting convo actually, and it turns out he's not really half Italian. His father is Persian and mother from Afghanistan. What a mix! He was also educated in England and since his father was some sort of a diplomat, lived at times in India, Nairobi, Iran, Iraq, Russia, and of course England. He had an air of sophistication and worldliness about him. So we talked, drank, talked some more, and then at like 9 he became very forward.

him: I've wanted to ask you this since I got here but we keep talking.
me: yea? Ask me what.

---

(ok like I didn't see this coming, the blatant stares and the fascination with my hands and feet should have been red flags, you can imagine what he asked)

---
well it wasn't what I was expecting. He had come over to hookup essentially. He's closeted. His family has no idea and well he likes it that way. I mean it's not like he's married with children but still, he is at least 35 and very single. From that point on I wasn't so much into the conversation. I am not into hookups, and well I guess I was expecting more from this.

---

Nice enough guy I guess, but like I said, I had the wrong idea. We're not looking for the same thing, I won't be seeing him again (obviously). He kept also asking me for my blog addy so he could check it out. It wasn't too hard to sidetrack that one... whew!!

---
I think I may just be single forever...

it's not working out..

so I won't be making any more video posts, at least until I can get some decent capturing software. Windows movie maker just takes way too much time. It takes like a half hour to an hour to film, edit add effects etc. THEN it takes another 30-40 minutes to save as an Mpg, then another 20 to save to You Tube and then post. That's 2 hours+ every night, I don't have the patience nor time anymore. Oh well, it was kind of fun while it lasted.
---
Yesterday was my mother's birthday. I picked up the kids after work and headed up to her house. It was a nice evening, my two little nieces running around the place (they are too cute, even tho waaay too spoiled). I got her some Anti Virus Software & a Sarah McLaughlin CD. I think she was happy with the gifts, it's hard to find something for her, because she doesn't work and spends way too much time shopping. I'm having a harder time finding gifts for her the older I (we) get.

TMI Tuesday...
I was going to keep up with this, but they are getting a little graphic and I guess it's not my thing so much. Here's today's questions from TMI blog...

1. What's the longest you've ever gone without a shower?
maybe 3 days when I was camping with my parents once. I am middle eastern and well, showering at least once a day is a necessity.

2. Do you use a q-tip? If so, how often? Come to think of it not so much

3. Do you have any piercings, if so where? Any for sexual purposes?
Yea both ears. Two years ago I had two in each ear upper (cart) and lower, but the gauge was pretty big and it was hell to find a comfortable sleeping position because cartilage piercings never seem to completely heal.

4. Oral sex... give or receive?
I'm not going there.

5. Sex while on the period... ick?
um... well I guess when I was married we did on occasion.

Bonus (as in optional): Tell me your fantasy... details!
At this point a date would be a good start. :)

---
yea ok I know booooring ass answers, sorry.
---
The Persian guy keeps calling... I don't know why I am so hesitant to talk to him, but maybe it's because we met in a dark bar when I had been drinking. Honestly I have no idea what he looks like and his constant phone calls (despite the fact I've only returned one) are getting kind of well, I dunno, here is the latest:

A call from Michael The Persian Guy

---
What does everyone think? Yea I know he sounds kind of sweet but that was like his 10th call. We're supposed to do something tonight, although I may just cancel and tell him that I am not really wanting to persue this. ugh... What is that accent anyway? Anyone know? He says that he is half Persian & half Italian. My friend tells me he doesn't look Persian/Middle Eastern but then again he had been drinking that night as well (altho he apparently wasn't as bad as I).
---
I woke up late and need a shower. Laters :)

my Saturday...
so we saw this double feature (unexpectedly) last night..

We actually only wanted to see the first film, but when we were getting tickets the clerk informed us that if we stay in the theatre, Covenant would immediately follow. The first show began at 7:40 and the second ended at about 1130. We got home by midnight and I was wiped out so went to bed. They stayed up a little longer.

---
I really love John Heder, I can't explain it but add Billy Bob Thornton and you have a very entertaining film. I wish I could say the same for The Covenant. It was horrible, we stayed because it was free and we had nothing else to do I guess. It had a pretty "interesting" cast however...



One thing that struck me as odd was the abdundance of shirtless, pantless, rather excessive shots of these guys above. It was almost as if they were trying to make up for a really bad storyline by shocking your senses numb with butts, perfect abs, and 20 year old half nude guys.
Ya know, it didn't work for me. Mission failed, horrible horrible flic. Don't even bother watching unless you are obsessed with the beautiful male form. In that case turning off the volume will not lessen the experience. Better yet get a Corbin Fisher subscription.

---
The Persian guy from yesterday's post keeps calling. I haven't listened to the voicemails, I am with my kids and really this is our time together, he will have to wait until tonight for my call. I wish I remembered what we talked about or what he looked like. Shit I didn't even know his name until he left the first message yesterday afternoon.
---
UPDATE: Ok so I called him back, he has a strong accent, definitely middle eastern (I am not convinced he's Persian yet) there is something fishy about this guy I can't put my finger on, my friend thinks so as well. He says he's 32, and apparently (because I can't for the life of me remember) my friend was a bit more coherent Friday night and agrees with him looking about that age. When I called tonight all these phones were ringing in the background and he was asking me NOT to hang up please, and yelled to someone else in the room to "take that call". Hm....like I said something smells funny. The plan is to have a longer convo tomorrow, and then possibly meet up Tuesday (my only free night this week coming).
---
There are (believe it or not) a couple other guys I've met online (while a bit inebriated) of late. I need to stop going online during and after drinking. I make promises that I don't keep when the next day arrives. It might seem to make me a shady person to some, but actually it's that I am two different people. No really, I am. One is outgoing and I get lots of ims online, and then the other wants to delete all my screen names and profiles the next day. Let's not even get into the pictures I take and put up. Ok ok they aren't that bad comparatively speaking.
---
I better quit before people get the wrong idea. Be back tomorrow. Time to make my daily video.

the long road home..


---

ugh last night was the worst. I've lost another friend to substance abuse. I posted a while back that my dad passed away when I was 15, the result of a cocaine overdose. As a direct result (I was rather traumatized as you can imagine) I have never touched anything. I've smoked a couple times, but honestly I don't enjoy it. One of my best friends had a problem before I met him, he was in recovery when we met. He's fallen off the wagon since. When he's back up here and we're hanging out, things usually get ugly. and then this...

---
I have another friend that has started using lately. Never around me, I wouldn't tolerate that, but most nights otherwise. Last night he, I, and another friend went out. (my ex was there and he got fat) At least one dealer (who he is evidently familiar with, and who I really pissed off I guess by pushing him off a bar stool, accidentally of course) He disappeared (the friend who uses) and then left us in downtown Springfield transportationless. It was a 5+ mile walk home, and he could have cared less. I still can't believe we made it here in one piece.

Ohh and last night I saw this guy out, walked up to him and asked if he was Persian. I mean there aren't many in this area but he WAS! Half Persian & Half Italian (like me). He was too kool, and gave me his number, which I can't locate this morning. Well I really haven't looked, I guess I've been pre-occupied with other things. Truthfully I don't remember what he looked like, but my friend tells me he resembles this guy(the one on the left, which is possible since they are locals who own an Oriental Rug company) :


---
I need to go back to bed, I'm just home from the Big E and very tired. The kids are staying over tonight, my ex-wife has a wedding to attend. We will definitely have some fun.

what a day....

I had the worst day yesterday, nothing went right. I mean nothing. I rant about it in yesterday's video a bit. I went home for lunch to change my shirt and pick up a card for my niece and on the way back a series of events delayed me 45 minutes (the trip should take 15 max). Then after work I had to drive over an hour out of my way to retrieve some presents my parents had forgotten at home, then there was my nieces party, which is a story for another day. end.of.rant



my cat is driving me insane. she knows (yea she does, don't give me that "she's only an animal " crap) that she isn't supposed to go into the living room (she scratches things) and yet, I just chased her out of there for the fourth time this morning. It's funny, when I go in there to get her out she starts running and emits this groany irritated noise that so indicates to me she's pissed at being evicted. She knows exactly what she's doing, trying to get into the trash and grab a nice item for herself. I feed her very well, but for some reason she finds it exiting to steal away something from the trash. weird cat...

Way Back Wednesday... me :)




---
As an only child (and grandchild on my father's side) I am never at a loss for pictures of me growing up. It also helped that both my Mother and Aunt were camera happy people. By the time these were taken, my parents were already divorced and my father was living in Boston & New York with his lover Bob (a teacher in the Boston School system)... my Dad passed away when I was 15, but Bob still lives in Winthrop (MA). Haven't seen him in ages, but I think about him often. An amazing guy, here are a couple pics of my Father & Bob...





---
I think about what it would be like if my father was still alive. We had much in common, and were very close, despite the distance (2-3 hours) and visitation limits (Saturday 10-6). I wonder if he had any inclination... I suppose he might have, I'll have to ask Bob if I ever see him again. I don't know what has prevented me from contacting him, all these years I have never tried. I know he drives the 2 hours a couple times a year to place flowers on Dad's grave, I even ran into him there once when I was about 19 on my father's birthday. He is always skittish around me, won't look me in the eyes, stutters a bit and makes off quickly. I wonder why... I mean what has he to be shy about?? Is there something I don't know? hm....
---
Well that's it for today, I have to make a special trip over to the Big E today for my Aunt. After work I am heading up to my step-sister's for her daughter's birthday. I won't be home till late so my video post will be a short one. Have a Happy Hump Day everyone :)

TMI Tuesday
(goes along with #4 below, weren't we a hawt couple)
---
taken from the TMI Tuesday blog (thanks to Polty)
I thought I would start giving it a go.
---
TMI Tuesday

1. Have you ever shared sleeping accommodations with someone without anything steamy happening? (Opposite sex for breeders, same sex for homosexuals).
Yea sure who hasn't? There isn't always a mutual attraction, although we all certainly have had our moments where we have been with people we are not very attracted to.

2. Streaked, flashed, or otherwise partially or totally exposed yourself in public before (or after) an informal, unofficial gathering of people?
No not that I can remember, well there was this time in Rome I did a "Photo Shoot" on my way up to the hotel room I probably could have been thrown out for. It was after like 6 drinks.

3. Have you had dates with multiple people in the same weekend (or consecutive nights or the same night) while not all of your dates were aware of your actions??
Yea, and of course they didn't know about each other. I can remember once back in 2000 (I dated a lot that year) where I dated a different person every day for a whole week.

4. What is the most "romantic" you have ever gotten in a movie theater?
Back when we were teenagers, my ex-wife (at the time we were not married) would cover my lap with her/my jacket and well, you can guess the rest. This also happened in the car while I was driving, behind the school after hours, in her parents living room. Let's just say we experimented a lot.

5. Have you ever had sex when you knew a non-participating adult was watching?
I am kind of embarassed to say yes, on at least a couple of occasions. Maybe you need to better define Non-Participating..*wink*

Bonus (as in optional): If you could say anything you wanted anonymously to anyone, without identifying that person, what would you say?
"Answer my calls u freak and come pick up your shit already, it's been three years and 6 boxes don't stow away so easily in a condo" ahhh that felt really good.

---
yea ok that was kind of revealing and makes me look like a ho.
-
what is a Bear?
-
(not those giant animals who live in the woods either)
---
I have an online profile where I guess somewhere I checked the "Bear" box. A couple people messaged me that I am NOT a Bear, or "This guy is not a Bear" etc.
---
So I made a checklist:

1. Hairy (check) no wait (double check)
2. Beard/Goatee (check)
3. Shaved Head/Bald (eh thanks grandfather for the receding hairline, check)
4. Heavy set (ok well is this where I am disqualified? because I'm skinnyish?)

---
SO what is your definition of a Bear? I'm curious.

forget the coffee, this will wake you up...

Yesterday was pretty eventful, ran over to The Big E, set up my window, and then picked up the kids. We headed to Grammy's and then went to the Eastfield Mall for some lunch and shopping. (actually the kids shopped, I just tagged along) You can see a video of some of this on my other blog here. We then headed back here (sans Grammy) and watched a couple movies. Nothing really of note except Jersey Girl (ahk it was horrible). I guess I bought it because (for one it was only $7.99) of the Kevin Smith thing. None of us could make it past half way, it was that bad. I thought I read somewhere that it was during this film that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck fell in love. Doesn't really matter, no wonder it was so cheap. I suppose that was the only redeeming quality of this flic, actually maybe not. In any case, Kevin what were you thinking??

woah what an incredible film..
---
Saw this yesterday and was floored. It was absolutely amazing, so many twists and turns as well as incredible performances by, among others... Scarlett Johansson & Josh Hartnett


---
set in 1947, it's the story of two ex-boxers turned policemen who try and solve the grizzly murder of a young aspiring actress. You never see the twists coming, and everything is tied up so well at the end. I completely recommend catching this either in theatres or a rental.
---
I need to find a great movie editing program, can anyone recommend one? Windows movie maker is getting on my nerves. Plus it takes like 45 minutes to capture and create a "decent" quality clip, and even that isn't so great. I mean I really am trying to get a video up every day over at the other blog (7 consecutive days thus far yay) but I don't know how much longer I can deal with this shite. Half my night is devoted to it now. I do have a life after all. :)

---
Today will be much the same as yesterday, except no movie (at least I don't think) and lunch with Grammy. This should be fun, she's loopy in a cute way, well at least I think so.

I need to take a shower and head over to The Big E again...yay :(

Pain without love...

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

You're sick of feeling down
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand
This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand

Pain, without love
Paint, I can't get enough
Pain, I like rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Anger and agony
Are better than misery
Trust me I've got a plan
When the lights go off you will understand

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing
Rather feel pain

I know (I know I know I know I know)
That you're wounded
You know (You know you know you know you know)
That I'm here to save you
You know (You know you know you know you know)
I'm always here for you
I know (I know I know I know I know)
That you'll thank me later

Pain, without love
Pain, can't get enough
Pain, I like rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain

I spent last night over at the old house (I made a video in case anyone remembers me talking about it and would like to see the shack in 3D, well not really, maybe 2D) The place is freeking trashed (as a result of the pipes bursting last December, thank god I lived here by then), paper falling off the walls, a nasty brown film on everything SPIDERS everywhere!! They will be ripping it down as soon as we finalize the sale and put up a Pizza Shop (and an amazing one at that) on the lot. I can't wait for them to level that dump. Good riddance.

Oh man today is going to be insanely hectic!! I have to run over to The Big E and set up my window, take inventory, count da money, and then rush off to pick up the kids. After that we will get some lunch, catch Snakes on a Plane and then come back here to chill out for a couple hours. I have like an hour to clean this place up, shower, get in my car and be over there. The first weekend is sheer madness, hundreds of thousands will pour in the gates. I am soo glad I don't work it every day as I used to.
