Thanks, Ryan!!!!
Habby Birthday skank
Happy birthday (even though youre a lamer for bringing it up).
My birthday is tomorrow, but you wont catch me attention whoring it up in some thread.
That's because no one likes you.
I have Strawberry Daifuku, went for a bike ride in 100 degree weather to the Denver Cherry Blossom Festival (For some reason it'd in Summer?) and the semi-cold shower when I got home was the greatest thing ever. Now I'm going to play some video games or something.

A smug, incestuous half-wit. That's our Buttcheeks.
Gay pride was fun.
In the spam emails my uncle sends me, he sometimes sends some good ones. This time it was a quote: "Being challenged in life is inevitable; being defeated is optional." - Roger Crawford.
That's a pretty good quote.
It's going to be nice and cool all week long. That's about all it takes for me to be happy these days.
Ugh I wish it'd stop being 100 degrees. Downside to working from home is paying for your own AC.
Most of the swelling is gone from my ankle, and with some tape I can walk on it pretty well so I think it'll recover quickly. This last weekend was fantastic.
Saturday there was the Denver Cherry Blossom Festival (in summer for some reason.) I rode my bike about 8 miles in 100 degree weather and it really wasn't that bad when riding the bike other than constant dehydration. The festival was a lot of fun, I met some people from Hilo Hawaii where I'm expecting to move in the next year or so. Went back, passed out for a while, Finch and I went out for some Chik-fil-a and then just a nice long bike ride. I think total I was close to about 30 miles of bike riding without much trouble.
Sunday a bunch of friends and I went rock climbing in Boulder Canyon, found a wall that had some nice shade and just climbed from about 12:30 to 7:30. I started leading routes (You're not really beating routes until you lead climb them.) and did pretty well. A nice 5.7 for a warmup that was easy as pie, top roped an awesome 5.10 problem that you had an arreat to the left that you had to grab on to, and then a roof to make your way above, so that was a pretty neat problem.
Then I lead on a 5.9, a tall one too had to have been 80-90 feet tall considering the 60 meter rope was barely enough. It wasn't too bad but definitely a little nerve wrecking lead climbing it. Was doing well until I slipped on the slab and fell about 10 feet hurting my ankle (I'm not entirely sure how). Also it felt like 80 degrees all day so that was amazing. Nothing like hanging out with friends and challenging nature.
Gonna start playing Tennis with a friend soon (Was supposed to tomorrow but I don't think I will that soon with my ankle). So just an overall awesome weekend and now I can't focus on work because I'm so beat.
Our 88MPH show this Thursday is being promoted. LOL! There's also a plug for a Quarantines show next month. Never thought being a musical whore would feel this good.
I'm no musician, but I am a whore and it's pretty awesome.
Ridiculous.
In Hunstville with my Dad for an MVPA show. He's already sold $300 of stuff and today was just set up.
Someone brought a Russian T-34
Spent the last 8/9 days in San Diego with my girlfriend. Had an amazing time, saw a truly one of a kind wedding, had a killer time at the Zoo, and among many other awesome adventures got to tour Stone Brewery and have lunch there.
Another good day. Went by a dude's booth that had old electronics all piled up. Got 3 power transformers, a box of porcelain tube sockets, some military radio dynomotors and some other bits for 40 (I could have probably gotten it for less, but fuck it, he was a nice old man).
Also got a ww2 ammo can for 10 (these are hard to find for this price)
Oh, and someone brought a SCUD 8 with truck to the show today. Thing is HUGE

Hey, what happened to "Stop Throwing Shit You Asshole"? I found this on some kind of Hispanic SMS site this morning....
I remember that used to be in the wiki. Remember the wiki? Nick doesn't.
By the looks of it, somebody needs to update that page.
Someone really, truly should.
They really should.
Hahaha late to the party.
fashionably.
I'm almost a little proud that I didn't know what a "Magic Mike" was until it was being forced in my face by co-workers today.
Yeah, you'd like Magic Mike forced in your face.
uh...very weird deal today
Remember the guy that I was so happy about buying the old eletronics off of?
He was leaving today and told me I could have the whole table of stuff for 25.00 I bit, though a little worried that I had just gotten more junk to sort. I took pictures of the nameplates before leaving for the room. Thinking "I better check this stuff out, it might be garabge and someone might offer me more than I paid on Saturday when all the normal people come in"
I did a search on the data plates.
Most of it goes to an vacuum tube based sound system for diners and soda shops in the 50s. Remember those little chrome things that sat on the end of the table with a little juke box selector? Yeah, I have 5 or 6 sections of this primitive computer.

Had me a good day. I woke up late, which I hate doing, actually, because I don't like having wasted half my day sleeping, but I must've needed it. Then I ate an early lunch and watched last Wednesday's episode of So You Think You Can Dance. I'm diggin' this year's Top 20 for the most part. After that I hopped on the bike and hit the gym for a couple of hours, which was sorely needed because I had been slackin' this week. After a decent workout I got back on the motorcycle and decided to go for a long ride to nowhere in particular. So, I popped my earbuds in, set my iPod to play this mix and hit the open road. And I gotta tell you, the combination of fantastic summer weather, the scenic roads in my neck of CT and my new favorite tune had me, if only for a brief while, in a complete state of ease and contentment. It's rare that I'm able to feel that genuinely happy. If only I could bottle the emotion and save some for later.
Anyway, now I'm nursing a Hoegaarden and the plan is to spend the evening in, catching up a bit on TNL and then possibly working on a DJ mix that I've been putting off doing. Or maybe watch an episode or two of True Blood (I'm WAY behind).
I can hear fireworks off in the distance... I've always loved this time of year. :nod:

Lol @ optional car crush upgrades.

why rent when you can own?
Anderson Cooper formally came out!
I read that this morning. I'll never watch his segments again. Fuck CNN.
Shocking news. Who'd have ever guessed Anderson Cooper was a secret fag?
I actually don't even care, but it's weird to me for a famous journalist to put his sexuality out there. That is, unless he personally wanted to do it himself. That'll be fine, but he didn't owe it to anyone to come out.
He actually kept this shit a secret for a very long time even though it was very obvious.
Also, FU!
From a journalistic perspective, I'm very worried about what will happen when he covers same-sex issues now. Some people have said some pretty fucked up shit to his face (e.g. all gays should be put behind a fence and left to die out.) Will people dance around these topics now?
He's not much of a journalist anymore. He's a TV personality.
Nobody cares who Katie Thomas and Michael C. Schmidt (writers of the current article on top of NYTimes.com) are fucking. Because they are journalists.
That's an interesting perspective. Would you say Walter Cronkite was a TV personality?
I can't disagree with Diff.
TV reporters can be as credible as print journalists.
That's why I said "anymore." Nobody gave a shit about who he was having sex with back then. The questions only started once he became more visible and started making more money.
He still does good work - like on 60 Minutes. He's not a joke like Wolf Blitzer. But he's a TV personality and people care about that stuff with those guys.
I see your point.
this is why he kept it to himself for so long. He has said previously that he preferred for people to not know, so he could cover more stuff that would not be open to an openly straight or gay man.
EDIT: Which implied he was gay. Most straight men wouldn't realize that. You'd have had to spent time on both sides of the fence to realize that people react to straight or gay men differently.
First day in over a week that I feel 100% not sick, this is a good feeling.
What does formally mean?
Was Edward R. Murrow gay? Did Edward R. Murrow have a butt to be gay with?
I cant wait for the day to come when white guys will be able to come out on air and announce how they prefer asian women. We will finally be free.
It's not like it was some secret. He simply confirmed it.
There was no big press conference called or anything.
It's about as dignified a way you can do it being as famous as he is.
There is no dignity in announcing your sex life to a bunch of people who have no business caring let alone knowing.
Thats like Dan Rather coming on air to announce he can only get off if his wife sticks a finger in his ass.
Its not because its a gay thing. Its because its a not news and nobodies business thing.
Sorry but there is dignity in putting yourself out there to try and gain more support for something.
It's not like gay people aren't still being persecuted in this country and that they've become an accepted thing. So the more people honestly come out in a position where other people have no choice to but accept or deny their merits is a good thing.
People think that gay people are faggots who go around sucking off dudes in backalleys and shoving heroin into their veins. I don't think that's the case with Anderson Cooper.
You've been hanging out in the wrong back alleys then.
Who are the people who think that way? You think theyre the sort of people who would watch Anderson Cooper (especially if everyone could already tell) to begin with? Its not like 100,000 homophobes watch him and will now think, "hey, if AC is one of dem faggits and we likes that AC then meybe dem faggits aint so bad after all!"
You do make a fair point that they probably weren't watching Anderson Cooper.
But it'll be nice if supporting gay rights becomes louder than the bigots and morons who are against it.
And I am sorry, but wants their merits to be decided by who they sleep with?
No one?
So your counter argument is to not address what i am saying, but to put words in my mouth.
Got it.
As far as I can tell, Cooper didn't turn to the camera and wink in the middle of a broadcast with this information. What's the problem exactly.
Did you read the article where he came out? I'm assuming you didn't. It's not like he came out because he was pressured to. He felt compelled to confirm it after reading an article of gays in public life in I think Entertainment Weekly. Geez you're jumping the gun here.
I didn't put words in your mouth, it was a side point to explain the benefit of having a successful person of any minority come out and admit to it, in a time where the movement's support is growing, but there are still people trying to persecute it.
Why are you being so sensitive about it?
My entire kitchen got packed up today, movers are scheduled for pick up, arranged for shipping my car at the end of the week, just need to finish packing up my office and clothes and I'm ready to head out west. Holy shit it's crazy to think about!
We live in a world where enough people aren't comfortable with the idea of being gay that they actively vote against letting them get married and SSJN seriously thinks this is on the same level as revealing what sexual acts you prefer?
Get the fucking fuck out of here. You're disgusting.
SSJN is just opining with the 'Morning Zoo Radio Show' stance.
Youre so dumb. Im on my phone so im not going to get into it right now.
But yes, i have no idea how he did it or why. My basic premise is that it shouldnt need to be done. What anyone does in their bedroom is their business and none of mine. Put your pitchforks away, open your mind, and re-read what i wrote. You fags would have fit right in with the Salem folks a few years ago.
It's great that it's all officially publicized and everything, I was just unaware that it wasn't before.
I see stuff like that, and all that comes to mind is shit like, " oh my, that colored fella is so well spoken."
You have actively said on this forum that you're against gay marriage.
It's a reasonable assumption that you take some kind of umbrage with this for silly-as-fuck reasons.
"Nobody persecutes or harasses that group of people anymore so who gives a shit lol"
I think it's one of those things like, "Did you know Anderson Cooper was gay?" If you live in CA or NY, it's obvious the answer is "Yes." If you're in a more liberal bent town, like Chicago or Portland something the answer would also be "Yes."
But then there's the other huge part of America I'm not so sure about....
/edit also as soon as you know he's Gloria Vanderbilt's son, it alllll makes sense.
And ive also said why im against it. Was it because i hate gays? Because i think of "them" as "those people"? Nope! As much as you assholes like to portray it as such.
Ive said im against gay marriage because marriage itself is an outdated institution. I say instead of co opting something that doesnt work, come up with something better.
But i am done with this. Its great that he came out. Everything always becomes accepted as normal when people keep trying to show how special it is.
