Narcissism 101

DAN SAVAGE ROCKS

A good lesson to learn.

 

 

MY DAY

...in a nutshell. I'm kinda frozen and can't think of what to do next. Maybe punch back...

AND MILES TO GO BEFORE I SLEEP

Today was a good day - things went well and I feel everything's settling and where they're supposed to be. And I even just looked up and it was 11:11pm. Go figure.

"What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course." - Marilyn Monroe

She packed a punch, that Norma Jean.

GANGWAY WORLD, GET OFF OF MY RUNWAY

Today, after a small fight w/ a bed-bound 2-day virus, I am back and ready to get started with takin' care of business. I feel great, I am optimistic and am ret-t'-go. BRING IT ON, GOLDEN POND!

GOOD NEWS

This is today's horoscope:

Right now, Moonchild, you are extremely lucky in love and with money. Make the most of this period by taking advantage of all opportunities and fueling this wave of good fortune with healing, jubilant energy that can help to carry you forward even faster. The force is with you in most areas and will be throughout the fall season. You will find yourself in wonder at how well things are going for you after a long dry spell of disappointment, anxiety, and stress. Soak it all up, because you certainly deserve it.

Um...okay!

ABOUT LAST NIGHT

Here is a pic from DUKE @ Fubar last night of two of my fave people here in Los Angeles - Garrett and Wilfredo. They rock.

YES...

...boys ARE stupid. But not all of them. ;-)

2010

As the sounds of the screams and the crying fade away, as the visual of seeing the burning buildings and the people running towards me when the buildings fell get more and more blurry, and as the smell of smoke and the feeling of time standing still become an almost non-existent memory, I honor all those who needlessly died on this day. Your passing was not in vain and we, as a people, will hopefully rise above the petty indifferences that brought us to that point - the point where innocent lives were taken just for living in this country.

THIS WEEK'S ENDING QUOTE #9

"I keep thinking how strange it is … I kill a man and most people understand and forgive me. However, I love a man, and to so many people this is an unforgivable sin; this makes me an evil person. So, even though I never went to jail, I have been in prison almost all my life." - Emile Griffin, gay welterweight boxing champ

WAITING FOR A BUS THAT NEVER COMES

This is the one of the two scenes I'm doing for a directing class today (I'm coming in as an actor for learning directors). It's from THIEF and the scene kinda rocks. I have a great "as-if" for this that applies to my current life. Ironically, the second scene is from UP IN THE AIR and I'm playing Ryan (George Clooney's character). Looking forward to bringing a lot into my work for these people this morning.

 

 

FEELIN' TOO GOOD TODAY

There are so many right things in this clip, it's hard to criticize all the cheesy wrongs. But Rona Barrett, Lee Majors and Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman in an Olivia Newton-John special...? I mean, come on.

NO MAS

It's fear that keeps us from moving forward, whether it be in our careers or our love lives, and I am tired of it. Be a man and get what you want by speaking up and acting upon it.

Patience is what we must learn so that when we do go after what we want, we don't expect it to happen right away. As long as the seed has been planted and isn't sitting in our pocket, we're golden.

And regrets are what result in letting fear win so I vow to have none of them. Who wants to live that way...?

FUCK YOU, SEPT. 1ST

As if it couldn't get any worse... Last night, at just after midnight, a man jumped off the 22nd floor of my friends' building and the four of us got to witness it. My first time seeing a dead person on the street and I was a bit in shock, to say the least.

When I woke this morning, I took myself to the housing court to file a complaint against my landlord for not holding up his end of the bargain in a court-ordered decision. Unfortunately I needed the physical copy of the court order to file a complaint which I left on my coffee table. In Los Angeles.

That left me a bit frazzled and I went to the gym which made me miss my doctor's appointment (forgot), I missed my meeting up w/ an old friend, and I finally went all the way uptown to file another complaint against my landlord at the NY Dept of Housing as I just found out I have been paying my landlord doub the rent in a rent stabilized apartment for the past 5 years only to find out there was a 4-year statute of limitations. I am a year too late.

NOW I'm finding out that the reason I flew out here - to work the next 2 days on Fire Island - might be for nothing. There's a hurricane a-comin' and they're this close to evacuating Fire Island until Sat. So no work for me. And to think I gave up 2 nights of work in L.A. for this. Not to mention the cost of my flight/travel expenses. I mean...really??

Is this what the bad feeling I had Monday before leaving was about?

GAYS OF OUR LIVES #1

I love old pics of gays gone by and found this one the other day. Not a great pic, but I love the surfboard. (And remember: "All models over 18yrs of age.")
