| today i went to gay speed dating :-) originally the idea didn't really appeal to me, but what the hell.. i decided to try well, it was a good experience. there were some attractive and interesting guys i would consider dating or befriending. we all had sheets with our numbers on them. and then if you like a guy, you make a tick next to his number (saying if you want him as a friend or a date or both). then tomorrow they will email us our matches. at first it was a bit awkward. but after first guy i felt comfortable. it was quite loud though. and we had only 3 minutes per person. sometimes it wasnt enough. sometimes it was too long :-) i didn't have high expectations. more like "a fun thing to do", maybe make a couple of friends. we'll see. one thing that helped me - in this setting you are basically forced one onto another. so the "first approach" barrier - the one i have biggest problems with in life - is already broken. then i can just be myself and talk and have fun. same happens when i meet someone on the internet and we meet for coffee or a drink - i do not feel uncomfortable at all. it's the first approach that scares the shit out of me. in bars, clubs etc i just can't do it. yet. PS> the whole event was 2.5 hours long. my head hearts from noise. and my throat - from talking. i "met" around 30 guys today. liked for a date around 6. for friends - around 9. will see tomorrow if there were any matches and will let you know. | |

| yes, looks awesome. when people who are good in it are doing it :-) i had a class today and i can't say i liked it. partyally it was because of this particular class, and partially because of the art itself. class: - I understand that everyone needs to earn money. so basically any Brazilian guy who had capoeira before comes to London and can become a guru. this applies to other martial arts too, but in more established ones (i particularly know Taekwondo) - there are professional federations that supervise training and grading. this may be the case for capoeira too, i guess. - when it s an open class (anyone can join at any time) - it is hard to come up with syllabus that would satisfy complete beginners and more advanced students. this was the case today. there was not much structure. - now the art itself. meh. as a cardio workout it may be ok. but if you want to learn a MARTAIL art in order to be able to defend itself, i wouldnt recommend it. try jujitsu or kickboxing instead. there you can learn more useful attack and defense stuff and get better quicker. so i guess i ll go back to kickboxing.  | |

| i like this definition
Собственно, вопрос, который меня довольно давно мучал, каждый раз, когда я видел что-то подобное: как так получается, что человек ведёт себя как дебил (в медицинском смысле), но при этом смог овладеть компьютером, научиться выходить в интернеты, завёл журнал, пишет там что-то порой даже вменяемое (специально почитал несколько журналов особо выделяющихся дураков), вообще вроде живёт, работает? Как так может быть?
А теперь, кажется, я понял. Определяющим свойством дурака является вовсе не глупость, как я считал раньше, а абсолютная уверенность в собственной правоте, и по конкретным вопросам, и вообще, о жизни.
indeed, there are morons with graduate degrees :-) | |
|
| anyone has seen "3:10 to Yuma" (2007) with Christian Bale and Russel Crowe? i think the ending makes NO SENSE at all. agree? disagree?  | |
|

Boys don't cry
Magnolia
Pan's labyrinth
Schindler's list
American history X
what are yours? | |

| Английский гей-парад поведет жена премьера Сам Гордон Браун от участия в мероприятии благоразумно отказался Сегодня в Лондоне состоится так называемый «Парад гордости» в котором примут участие около 100 тысяч представителей секс-меньшинств. А возглавит это мероприятие жена английского премьер-министра Сара Браун. Сам премьер, Гордон Браун, от участия в мероприятии благоразумно отказался, сославшись на требования службы безопасности. Мэр Лондона «гордый» гей-парад также проигнорировал – у него день рождения сына, и Борису Джонсу нужно быть дома. Впрочем, политики не удержались от возможности попиариться за счет этого странного мероприятия. И наперебой начали каяться и предъявлять свои заслуги в таком важном деле, как удовлетворение претензий извращенцев. Гордон Браун с гордостью отчитался в специальном обращении: "Я горд всем тем, чего наше правительство добилось по вопросу защиты прав LGBT-сообщества (лесбиянок, геев, бисексуалов и транссексуалов) за последние 12 лет, включая уравнивание возрастного ценза для легальных сексуальных отношений, снятие запрета на военную службу, право усыновления детей и заключения гражданских союзов... запрещения дискриминации на рабочем месте и в предоставлении доступа к товарам и услугам". А лидер британской оппозиции Дэвид Кэмерон публично покаялся за введенную в 1988 году так называемую «поправку 28», запрещавшую пропаганду гомосексуализма в школах. Теперь поправка отменена, коренное население британских островов стремительно вымирает, а политики радостно рапортуют, что сделали для этого все, что могли. - - - -

| related to this post: http://smartnik800.livejournal.com/54818.htmli found this group in facebook. some of the points are so sad and funny at the same time. poor heterosexuals and their threatened masculinity. - - - - Welcome To Man Law! Apparel will be available for purchase soon any ideas u would like on a hoodie or t-shirt of hat ect email me my admin name is fingerbang (aka justin clearfield) and i will make it happen. I will post a link when the stuff is ready to be ordered. 1. No wasted beer in the name of humor. 2. It has been made official that under no circumstances should the male have to pay for birth control 3. If your best friend is dumped by a girl it is a 6 month waiting period till she can be touched. If he breaks up with her it’s a 6 day waiting period. 4. If two or more males arrived at a party by a single car, and the driving male is hooking up with a girl, it is the responsibility of the other males to find other ways home. (The exception to this law is if the driver is hooking up with his own girlfriend, the law is then void and the driver still holds full responsibility of driving his friend’s home) ( Read more... ) | |

| and here you go - police raids a gay bar. one of the customers is in intensive care. police's defence - he inappropriately touched a cop. full story- - - - - - - - - Monday, police chief Jeff Halstead said the officers' actions are being investigated. However, he also said that officers that entered the bar during the scheduled inspection were touched inappropriately. "You're touched and advanced in certain ways by people inside the bar, that's offensive," he said. "I'm happy with the restraint used when they were contacted like that."
- - -
Allow me to translate the chief's comments: "Them faggots in that thar bar touched mah officers and now they're complainin' about some rough stuff and one little ol' faggot with a brain injury? Those perverts should be grateful they're alive."

I've been in a million gay bars. I've been in gay bars on multiple occasions when the police came in to check everyone's IDs and make sure no minors were being served. Gay men don't grope police officers when they enter gay bars. I find it inconceivable that the gay men drinking in the Rainbow Lounge in Fort Worth responded to a raid by attempting to grope the police officers. This "they groped us!" shit is a lie. more here | |

| the original plan was to go to Ibiza on August 26-31 with a friend. then go to Sitges on September 24-28 with another friend. now the first friend has problems with his job and cannot confirm. but clock is ticking so i need to decide pretty soon what i want to do. all my other friends are either busy that time or are broke. 1. i could go alone to Ibiza in August. which could suck and feel lonely. or may be fun and awesome. i dont know
2. i could go to some other less "vibrant" gay place alone where i would feel more confortable. maybe Gran Canaria - since i have already been there so it would feel less new and scary.
3. fuck gay resorts, just go to some new place period. like Venice and Florence, or Athens. then being alone would be more ok. since it s just sightseeing.
4. or still go to a beach resort, but not specifically gay, and just relax and swim and lie in the sun.
but i think i d prefer to find a travel companion and go to Ibiza :-) | |

| this was a very nice trip. it started with me being sick though. i caught a cold on sunday, and still felt shitty on Wednesday, but decided to go ahead with my travel, and whatever happens, happens. so i flew on Thursday to Vienna, Austria. took a bus to Bratislava, Slovakia (1 hour ride). kinda survived the flight, but still felt ill. my dear friend Paula met me at the bus stop, we dropped my bags at her place and went for a short walk around the city. the area where she lives is so Soviet Union :-) the historic center is nice though. reminds of Krakow, Lviv and every other central European city :-) on Friday i felt a bit better, we walked a bit more in the morning. it was pretty hot (+28 or so). then i got on the train and went to Vienna. checked in the hotel, my friend Anish flew from London and met me at the hotel. we went out walking around. then it started to rain. and rained non-stop till Saturday afternoon. we did go out to a couple of gay bars. one was very "austrian", another - pretty much like any other gay bar in the world. on Saturday we had an AMAZING breakfast. actually hotel was awesome. so i really recommend it - http://www.hotelaustria-wien.at/it s very central, very clean and comfortable and breakfast was awesome. free internet too. then - palace Schonbrunn (it was still raining heavily), lunch, Treasury, museum of modern art (sucks ass), dinner, two gay bars (empty for some reason), and the only gay club in Vienna - "WHY NOT?". very small. filled with smoke. in general i was surprised with how small gay scene is in Vienna. in Budapest - 4 hours away by train - there are much more gay bars and clubs. but this was supposed to be a bigger city, so i thought it would be more developed. oh well... today we had another amazing breakfast, went to see Belvedere palace, and walked some more. now in Vienna airport, enjoying their FREE INTERNET. me likey. our flight is delayed for 30 minutes though. soon in London. photos will follow. | |

| заболел я. (не болел с марта месяца что для меня рекорд). видимо перебродил в одном полотенце по сауне. плюс плохое настроение отнюдь не повышает иммунитет вчера сидел дома. сегодня сдуру поперся на работу. там завал, а у меня совесть. тем более что в четверг улетаю в Вену-Братиславу и решил что некрасиво дома сидеть. сам дурак надо было по человечески вываляться в кровати и перепиться чаю но не усидел. теперь насморк и голова болит. идиот. завтра посмотрим кто победит здравый смысл или совесть - - - - in short - i have a cold. dammit. and should have stayed at home today instead of going to work. moron...  | |

| two weeks in USA - 252 messages on gay hook up sites. hot muscular guys - a lot. lots of sex.
4 days in London - one message from a 47 year-old. one message from a fat 18 year old
and you will still tell me that the problem is my "attitude"?
i think i just made a huge mistake by moving here. thats all there is. nothing more. | |
|
| a friend of mine from USA is visiting and so far he has been experiencing all the "nice" things London can offer - his luggage was lost. he was interrogated at the border for 45 minutes. his credit card was blocked. weather sucks and now - tube strike :-)
but whatever... we are off to Heaven | |
