Narcissism 101

JUST ONE OF DEM DAYS

Today sucks. Having a really bad day - nothing that I need to work out is working out. Just want to get in bed and forget today ever happened and start over tomorrow.

Only 37 days until I be where I need to pursue what I have been putting off for so long...

UPDATE:  Went to see Stephanie J. Block's Christmas show at Birdland and was able to turn off my brain and enjoy actual JOY for a good hour. This is why I love having good friends who can always turn your frowns upside down. :-)

IF YOU ONLY KNEW...

Okay, so the uber-talented Adam Joseph has not only covered one of my fave songs, but made an AMAZING video to go with it and it has an incredible message at the end. Oh, and Erikatoure Aviance is in it as the flawless flower girl. Doesn't get much better than that...

TAKE THEM ALL

Tonight, I'm spinning at Mr. Black (199 Bowery) for the Packing A Musket party. Be there for some pre-Turkey Day fun.

AND/OR

Join me on Friday night at The House of Blues in Atlantic City for The Ice Ball which promises to be a kick-ass time.

Take one or take them both but be there, mmmmkay?

AMAZING

It's amazing how, at 39, I can still be hurt by words.

I'll start by saying that I have never been  a good looking guy - I've always had a different look and that's been fine for me. Not what I'd choose to be, but it's what I have to work with and I'm fine with that.

So last night, I was hanging out after work with the go-go boy that I had just worked with - watching the drag queen that the two of us had just worked with. The two of us are  taking, having a drink when the go-go boy gets a text from a...let's just call him a gay socialite sitting across the room from us -maybe 15 feet away. The text reads:

"I am shocked...SHOCKED at your choice of men tonight. He must be paying you HUNDREDS to hang out with you."

Am I THAT hideous that the thought of someone hanging out with me would have to be from me paying them to do so? And it's THAT shocking?? I realize it's just a bitchy queen (who also has a shaved/bald head, I might add), but I thought high school girls or gays in their 20s did things like that. Guess not

Nevertheless, my self-image took a minor hit and I had to express it so that it wouldn't become any part of me. Out with the bad, right?

SINGLE'S LOVE

This is my love horoscope for today and it's pretty frikkin' spot-on:

Where others see only what is on the surface, you are able to see the light inside other people. Your ability to recognize inner beauty is a gift -- you can assess who is really worth getting to know. To be beautiful in your eyes is quite a compliment for anyone.

THE ACCUSED

This Wed. night I will be spinning at mr. black (199 Bowery), which happens to land the night before Thanksgiving. Very much looking forward to spinning a room with rockin' sound and it's all FREE, bitches!!! Please come by and dance before gorging yourselves on turkey, stuffing, and pie.

Here's the invite:

MY BODY IS WALKING IN SPACE

Last night at work, I developed a cough that, as the night went on, grew heavier and heavier. The poor cab driver who took me home had to listen to 25 minutes of heavy coughing. When I got home, I took Nyquil, just to suppress the cough and knock me into a heavy sleep.

I woke this morning feeling like a truck had hit me. The cough began the minute I sat up in bed, so after walking the hounds, I got back in bed only to sleep until 3pm. At that point, I was sweating and could hardly move. After taking the girls for another snail-paced walk, I decided to take my temperature. It was 102.8. So I immediately called my doctor who asked if I had ate yet today and suggested that after I ate, if my temperature was still high, to go to the emergency room.

I made myself some soup, drank a Gatorade and sat back on the couch to watch my stories. My temp is now at 100.1 and I feel fine.

Was this a passing virus? Or is my body just plateauing before it goes back coughing/sweating again. These past 2 weeks have REALLY been trying and, honestly, been very lonely. I am so tired of having to stay home. There's a LOT I need to get done before I leave in a little over a month and a half...

MY PUMPS

First, I love me some Erikatoure Aviance - she is amazingly nice and a talent tat needs to be seen. Second, the song has been turning me for months. And third - the video is amazing. "Got me working to a turned-out cunty beat..."

THE COLOUR RED

Since it's the incomparable Katie Thompson's birthday today, I thought I'd post one of my favorite songs of hers that she performed at Birdland. Yes, it's been choreographed by dancers across the country (even on SYTYCD in Canada) but only because of the raw emotion that only she can convey with that crazy-powerful voice and spot-on lyrics.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KT!!!
