My Gay Life

One thing about living in Colorado Springs is we receive a tone of crazy weather. Whether it is temperature changes that go from 80 degrees to snow on the ground the next morning, to 15 minutes thunderstorms every afternoon in August, to snow from October until May, to 90 mile an hour winds or hail every day we receive just about everything.

But today we got something that I am still not sure what to call. Basically we receive pea size snow balls.

They were too big to fit the traditional definition of snow pellets. But they were too soft to be called hail. So was it snow pellets or was it hail? It certainly was not light rain like the Weather Service called it.

Oops I forgot to find something for Friday Laughs today. So time to pull out some nerd jokes as it is all I have right now.

I was looking through some of my unpublished drafts and found this one I started writing in the summer of 2010. I figured I would get around to finishing it as it is something we all experience.

The challenge with being gay is that it is difficult to tell who else is gay. Heterosexuals can just look at the opposite sex and have a pretty good idea of who is available to them. They can also check for wedding rings before falling for someone. However, gay people can never tell. Yes there is this gaydar thing but it honestly does not work.

So you fall for a hot guy. And you really wish you could be with him, but you are not sure he is gay. Of course you do not do anything about it, because you don’t want to get in that awkward situation or make that hot guy feel awkward either. So every time you talk to him you secretly wish he would tell you he is gay. Deep down you know he is not gay, but that does not prevent you from wishing.

I run out of fingers and toes counting the number of guys this has happened to with me to some degree or another. They are good looking, you get along with them, and they would be everything you look for in a partner except for them being gay.

I guess I really do not have a point outside of saying it really would be nice if one of those straight crushes ended up being gay. But such is the life of a gay man.

And no for all of the people who are concerned about a gay guy hitting on them. Just because I think you look good and have a crush on you does not mean I am going to hit on you or make overt sexual passes at you. Take is as a compliment that I think you look good, I am not going to do anything about it if you are not gay.

I have been amazed over the last several weeks of how often Michelle Bachmann ads appear on sites that do not make much sense for her. Any gay person or gay supportive person in their right mind would not click on these ads. (Unless of course they just want to cost her campaign the $0.20 clicking on the ad costs it.) I have seen her ads on this site, Bilerico, Youtube movies that are gay supportive, and many more places. In fact her ads are by far the most frequent ads I see on the web.

What is it that makes her campaign think that advertising on the gay sites is doing her any good?

In case you are not familiar with her, here are some of Michelle Bachmann’s choice quotes.

On gay marriage: “This is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I am not understating that.” — Senator Michele Bachmann, appearing as guest on radio program “Prophetic Views Behind The News”, hosted by Jan Markell, KKMS 980-AM, March 20, 2004.

“Many teenagers that come in should be paying the employer because of broken dishes or whatever occurs during that period of time. But you know what? After six months, that teenager is going to be a fabulous employee and is going to go on a trajectory where he’s going to be making so much money, we’ll be borrowing money from him.” —Michele Bachmann, 1/26/05, explaining why teenagers should pay employers for the privilege of working instead of receiving minimum wage.

There is nothing more annoying than coming home to your power being out. Especially when 2 houses up the street has power. And there are no storms or wind that would have knocked it out. It is even more annoying when you call your utility and they say they know about the outage and expect power to be restored in 2-3 hours, but never tell you 2-3 hours from when. It makes it worse when you sit outside trying to get your garage door opener to work for 5 minutes only to figure out your power is out. And the absolute worst is when the power comes back on just when you are about ready to get into bed early because what else are you going to do, sit in the dark?

Of course all of those happened to me last night. I was kind of annoyed.

Friday Laughs was delayed this week to Saturday in observance with the National Day of Silence on Friday.

The entire time I watched this the only thing I could think of was that guys think with their dicks before their brains.
