Moulin Rouge

One guess who took this picture?

Smart vs Not So Smart

These lads are smart. They are keeping their balls out of the freezing water.

These lads, not so much....

Can't you just feel the shrinkage!

Lucas Black

Not sure who this is, but after seeing that hairy chest I need to rent his movies.

Some Funnies

I'm cleaning off the server that me and some friends own and thought I would share some of these funnies before deleting them. Now I can cross off clean up the server from my list of things to do. Time for me to get to bed.

Letter From My Man

A letter came in the mail today from my man. He says he is doing good, misses Ireland and with being in the hot African sun he is missing the rainy Irish weather. He doesn't know when he will be back, but told me he loved me and missed me. All the other stuff I will keep private. Just wanted to let everyone know that asks about him that he is OK and doing good as of the date of the letter which is about two weeks ago.

Aussie Bum - Sexy Surfer

I would like to ride his board.

What? I meant surf with him. Geez!

Life Choices

I had to go into work tonight to deal with an issue. On the way home I decided to stop and get something to eat from a place where I used to hang out when I first moved to Dublin. It was kind of crowded, noisy and I was tired so I decided to just get the food to go home.

As I waited for the food, I looked around the place, but didn't see anyone I recognized. I got the food and made my way to the door to leave. That is when I noticed a friend of mine sitting in the far front corner by the window with some of his friends. It was the guy I dated when I first moved to Dublin. I was torn between trying to get his attention to say hello or trying to sneak out unseen. You see, the last time I saw him he was angry and hurt with me for choosing my man over him. So I wasn't sure how he would react. Would he wave back or pick up a pint and throw at my head. But before I could decide what to do, he saw me and waved. He had a smile on his face and wasn't reaching for anything to throw, so I waved back. He said something but I could not lip read or hear what he said. I motioned I could not hear him. He stood up and motioned to go outside. Part of me thought he wants me to go outside where it's dark and there are less witnesses when he murders me.

Once outside he went to hug me but then backed up, put his hand behind his head like he suddenly had an itch he needed to scratch, smiled and turned away from me and grimaced. It was an awkward moment. He kept shifting around as if he suddenly had a million ants crawling in his pants. I thought either he forgot to take medication today or he is nervous.

I decided to lead him to the empty bench outside. Once seated he calmed down and we made small talk. We got caught up on each others lives, but I left out the part about still being with my guy. After a few minutes he asked me if we were still together. I replied that we we're and explained to him that he is in Africa right now working. My friend looked down at the ground for a moment, then looked up and smiled. He said he hopes he comes home safe and that he wishes us the best. Even if it was a lie, the fact that he said those words meant a lot.

He told me he was dating someone, but it was nothing serious. We talked a couple more minutes and then we decided he had to get back inside to his friends and I had to get my now cold food home to eat. We did hug this time and it was a good long hug. I turned to walk home and he went inside. I thought about him and the times we were together. I did care about him a lot and I had missed talking to him.

As I walked home I thought about life and the roads we choose. If I had never met the man I am with now, would I still be with this guy? Would that be my life right now, sitting in that restaurant with him and his friends? How different would my life be right now? But through it all I thought of my man. Just picturing his face in my mind and thinking of memories of us brought a smile to my face. Even though I have many things to consider for changes in my professional life and I am very confused on what road to choose, I realized on a personal level, my heart is right where it needs to be and I think I am on the right road.

Martin Kilger - Leicht

I heard this song while in Germany. Nice song, hot guy. So I am sharing. Enjoy.

A Few Days In Germany

I spent the last couple days in Germany for work. The work part of the day was ok, but the non-work part was fantastic. I had a great time and while I was there I was able to set up a meeting with some German friends I met last year when they traveled in the States. They plan to come visit me now in Ireland.

I just got home so I have not downloaded any of the pictures yet to the computer to share. So I'll email some soon and I may post some new ones on here soon.

I'm tired and thirsty. Going to go get something cold to drink, get a shower, and then get to bed. It's a cold night, anybody wanna come with me and snuggle?

Construction Man

Don't you just love construction workers? Every time I see work being done, I always keep an eye open because you know someone is going to be taking their shirt off. Usually it is the one I don't want to see, but every now and then you get lucky and hit pay dirt.

Speaking of dirt, looks like he needs a shower and I would be more than happy to help him with those hard to reach spots. What? I am being good! I was just trying to be friendly. Speaking of showers, I need to go take a cold one after looking at that hairy chest.

No Homosexuals in Iran?

This was a statement according to the Iranian president IMADICKHEAD when he spoke at Columbia University in the US today.

Asked about executions of homosexuals in Iran, Ahmadinejad said the judiciary system executed violent criminals and high-level drug dealers, comparing them to microbes eliminated through medical treatment. Pressed specifically about punishment of homosexuals, he said: "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country."
With the audience laughing derisively, he continued: "In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I don't know who's told you that we have this."

Now I realize that all politicians say stupid things, but they are mostly things that people can laugh at and have fun with. But here we have a leader of a country making remarks like this and it just stuns me. I also realize that hatred for homosexuals is a world wide issue, not related to just one country. But this is the leader of a country denying these human beings even exist? What chance does a gay man or woman in Iran have when they don't even acknowledge that you exist?

The famous picture of those two young boys that were hung a couple years ago still haunts me. The world still questions how did Hitler come into power? How could civilized people ever let that happen? But then you look at some of the leaders in the world today that have risen to power and you wonder if the world is not on the verge of allowing itself to repeat past mistakes. This is like the 1930's all over again and one has to wonder if the world is about to go mad again!

So Far From Me

BAD SKIN DAY - BELLX1

Another weekend gone, another night spent alone wondering where you are, what you are doing, and when you are coming back home to me?

Tonight I watered your plants, dusted and ran the vaccum to keep your flat clean. After doing this, I realized I had nowhere to be tonight, so I sprayed some of your cologne in the air to make it feel as though you had recently been there and I sat down for a moment on the couch. I saw your photo album under the coffee table and looked through it. Pictures of your family, friends, and you as a lad all the way to the wonderful man you are today filling its pages. I was pleasantly surprised to see pictures of us in the back of the album, the newest additions. (I still have to organize my pictures and take them out of the box in the closet and put into a photo album).

I closed my eyes and imagined you were there with me. Many thoughts and memories filling my head and for a brief moment I forgot it was all just a dream and you weren't really there. Eventually I opened my eyes and was alone again in the flat.

I got a drink and went out on the balcony and stood. The lights from the city flickering in the distance. I watched and listened to the cars going by and I wondered what stories they would tell of their lives. Were they hurrying home to someone they loved, or escaping from someone they hate? Did they have someone to love and love them back, or are they lost in their loneliness wondering where love will find them? Are they celebrating the birth of a child or mourning the death of parent? Were they driving to or from work, stopping to pick up dinner or run an errand along the way? Each of us has a story of our lives and I couldn't help but wonder what some of their stories would be?

As I stood there on the balcony, thinking all these thoughts, there was a strong breeze blowing across the land bringing with it the chill of the winter to come which was making its presence known. The cool air felt good against my face and hair and it somehow gave me assurance that I was alive and this wasn't all just a dream. I had put on your jacket from your closet before going outside and when my hands became chilled, I put them into the pockets of the jacket. I felt something against my fingers and upon pulling it out and looking at it I realized it was your pendant with the broken clasp. I held it in my hand, thoughts of you, so far away, once again filling my mind.

Golden Sunset

I love a golden sunset. For all you fetish people, I said sunset, not shower. There is something peaceful and relaxing about the land when it is awash in a golden color.

Another Saturday

I woke up early today and went to the beach. I just love the ocean. Sitting on the beach in the morning watching the sun come up is so peaceful. I also had a morning run on the beach and then had a bite of breakfast at a nice little place near the beach.

Now I am back home, had a shower and I am ready to relax for a few hours this morning. I was just talking to my cousin who is online right now. He has a dry sense of humor. He says things that are funny and doesn't even realize it.

I think if it doesn't rain I may go rock climbing later or just take a hike in the country. I just feel like being outdoors today if the weather holds up. I also need a haircut, so I'll have to fit that into the day.

The Devil In Disguise

Tonight after work I went to the grocery store. I wasn't really in the mood to go, but I forced myself into going and getting it done. So I walk inside, grab a cart and I am walking through the fruit and vegetable area when I notice one of the hottest guys I have ever seen in my life. Everything about him is what I am attracted too. If I could create a man, it would turn out to look like him. He was like the perfect looking guy. Well groomed coal black hair, just a little tan, tall, lean, dressed in a dark blue shirt with black pants an earring in his ear. When he walked by me to go around the corner to the next aisle, he smiled at me and I noticed he had the cutest smile and blue bedroom eyes. Anyone that knows me knows I go weak in the knees for a guy with a nice smile.

I continued my shopping and as I continued through the store we continuously ran into each other going up and down the aisles. We got to the bread aisle and there was a store clerk in the middle of the aisle blocking it with a cart full of boxes. I was coming down one end of the aisle and this hot guy was coming down the other end of the aisle. We both go to the middle of that aisle and there was just enough room to squeeze through to the other side.

Just as I went to walk through the narrow walkway, he tried to come through and we wound up standing face to face with each other. He smiled and said something to me. But I looked into his eyes and just froze. I knew he was saying something, but all my mind was thinking was "My God he is talking to me, he is talking to me." I still don't know what he said, but before I could compose myself and say anything or move back and allow him to come through, he put his hand on my side and squeezed through. He had this smile on his face as he did it and his body pressed against mine and slid through. My mind raced with thoughts from, "He is so fucking hot, to oh my god he just rubbed his body against me. Then the good little angel voice in my head spoke up yelling, "Boyfriend, you have a boyfriend!"

I was still just frozen, standing there analyzing these thoughts in my head when he suddenly came back through and squeezed by me again, placing his hand once again on my side. He smiled at me this time, not saying anything as he rubbed against me and went back to his cart.

I was still just standing there analyzing what just happened when I noticed the stock boy stopped stocking shelves and started watching us as if he could tell what I was thinking. I grabbed a loaf of bread and started to walk down the aisle trailing behind the hot guy. I was checking his ass out when I suddenly realized, he never picked up any bread. You went through all that and didn't get any bread anyway. As I wondered about that, I could tell he knew I was behind him because he kept looking back over his shoulder and smiling at me.

He went around to the next aisle at the back of the store. I took a deep breath and decided I needed to just leave the store before I get into anything I may regret later.

So I went to the check out and before long he was in the aisle next to me checking out. As we were in line he kept glancing over at me and smiling. I smiled back and then he made small talk with me. I thought to myself a straight guy would probably not be so into talking to another guy he doesn't know in the grocery store, let alone squeeze his body twice up against the stranger. That is when I realized, I think is flirting with me. That is when I realized he was the devil in disguise trying to tempt me to do something bad.

I got my bags and as I walked to the car, I could tell he was behind me. I get to my car in the parking lot and guess whose car is parked right across from the one I am driving...you guessed it, his car.

We're putting our stuff in our cars when he starts talking to me, making small talk. I replied back and we had a nice little conversation. Then he asks, "Do you come here often? I mean do you shop here often?" I replied that I did, that I liked the store. He said he does too and maybe he would see me around. I said yeah maybe. He reached over, shook my hand and said his name. But I have no idea what his name was because all I thought was he had the softest hand and I noticed there was no wedding ring on his hand. I think I told him my name, I don't even know what really came out of my mouth to tell the truth. But he smiled, stood there for a moment and then we parted.

I sat in my car for a moment thinking, I just let my version of the perfect looking guy drive away. Then I thought, I must really love my man. But he has been gone for two months now, going on three because of his job. I am not sure when he is coming back. But it better be soon or I may be shopping with the devil again soon.
