Top to Bottom / Bottoms Up

i had another one of my silly dates the other day with a new guy... a certain mr. D. it was, like the last few dates with that other guy, SM (who i haven't really heard much from since then), not really much to write home about... well, no i take that back. it was again one of those confusing first dates actually. in short, i think the guy is actually good looking, more intelligent than the last guy, and at the very least, much more articulate... and we talked ALOT... but, i dunno... i am troubled by the preception that he's not into me. and in converse, often when i feel people aren't into me, i lose interest in being interested in them. unrequited love is so 90's you know. part of the reason for my view of his lack of affection...so to speak... is that throughout the date i thought he was checking out other guys and also he even told me our waiter was cute... in an almost weird "friend" way. i mean, i'm probably blowing this out of proportion but isn't it a dating feaux pas to such? i dunno, the next few days we talked some online and the strange thing is, he still seems interested... in something. i dunno. i mean, throughout the date, there wasn't really any hmmm... charge in the air lets say. but then again, i did tell him early on that i intended to be fairly slow on the physical development so maybe he was giving deference to that and not really "flirting" in that way. or he may simply not know how to flirt haha. and ultimately, it was a first date so its hard to judge anything... i'm game for another rendevouz... and hell, he owes me dinner! haha.
.
we went to watch a hilarious movie though... called Another Gay Movie, a film which i originally feared was not going to come to the bumfuck town of Houston... but alas... it did. and the gay community came en masse to witness it of course. only made the film better i must say. ok... very cute film, but one you can only watch once! very raunchy, very potty humor, but with a completely gay esoteric twist... such as the scene where the gay newbie, instead of sniffing the bottle of poppers, drinks it.... and the fact that a character was played by a gay porn superstar... who else but pon addict fags would know that? haha. anyways... lovely film... must go watch... if only for the amount of skin and full frontal nudity and soft core GAY porn! heehee.
.
one of the questions brough up about this film though is the one im sure all gay men have had to ask... am i... top or bottom? does it matter? this is a question i think crosses my mind ever so often as well... and one at that times, i feel like i should answer but then at other times wonder what's the hurry... and to just go with the flow. i won't drag you through it now.... but hey... my breeder breathen... aren't you lucky not to have to think of a question like that?... well, unless you're of the really kinky variety... then you boys might as well be gay or at least "bisexual" bc those strap-ons your girlfriend wears... hmmm, not anywhere close to the real thing honey. this makes me think of one of my favorite tshirts... just a plain black muscle t that say... "only the best bottoms make it to the top".. heehee.
.
or compliments of this films... "real men take it up the ass"
.
anyways, that was just the opener for last weekend, a weekend which also included a very fun visit by a good friend from college and after in nyc, alice. she recently moved down to dallas from the big apple, i believe simply to get away from the hecticness of the city so she can have some peace and quiet to study for the MCAT... yet another one making the smart move to go on to business school! haha! we met up and just basically hung out... walked around the montrose street antique row, finally went to empire.... the coffee shop i've driven by i dunno how many hundreds of times... and hmm... somewhat of a disappointment. we then met up with her cousin and her boyfriend (who she's living with in Dallas...whoooo! sugar daddy!) and had a crawfish eating-thon. after that hung out a little longer and then parted ways. it was good to see alice and chat it up. i learned a thing or two about her boyfriend situation which i found amusing. alice has always seem to be the very naive about the whole relationships, sex, etc thing... and i dunno... our little conversation was just illuminating... to me. it was good to see her again definitely.
.
and speaking of "alumni" functions, the very next day, i went to my first "Harvard Club Houston" function... an annual meeting and meet-and-greet. at first i have to admit i was a little squeemish, potentially meeting with "old old guys", with nothing much to talk about or simply waspy farts that i would obviously have nothing in common with. but worries were unbased as i went there and overall, i think i had a good time. part of it, was there were so many "kids" there... from alumni's children as in babies and such, to incoming freshmen, who thought it might be useful to do a little networking here in the home town. anyways, i met some cool people, and exchanged some business cards. i expressed interest in doing "college nights" and interviewing potential candidates, which i actually wouldn't mind doing, as an avenue to get to know people more. and what else are these alumni groups really for, but to network, find potential spouses at... haha. i did meet very briefly this adorable asian guy and gave him my business cards, somewhat veiled as business interest, but i flashed him a smile... haha. such a flirt. anyways, i had a good time actually, and mei came along to, she had an interesting time saying she wasn't alumni haha. after that we got some starbuck snacks, went home and watched some sex and the city... a new thing since mei has just gotten net flicks.
.
we did something fun last week actually. we both took a really cool into "wine" class.. very light on the lecture and it was pretty much a recreational affair, i mean... no tests or anything. i loved the idea though... $40 and its a 3 hour nice dinner, and then presentation by one guy who discusses some interesting points of wines drawn from the collection of wines that everyone brings, one person a bottle... about 10-12 at the table. and of course, we all get to taste each other's selections.... all very fun. i did feel a little old though i have to admit as the clientele was mostly later age empty nester types... haha. oh well, all in good fun... and actually learned a thing or two... i think. haha.
.
and speaking of good meals, last week, i also took mei out to a fabulous resturant that i was scoping out for my mom's upcoming borthday dinner. this time, i wanted to get a restaurant that there was a distinct chance she would like, and the only way i could think of to do that was to go and try the place out. the place was called skyline and its on teh tops floor of the hilton... i have to say... a pretty shnazzy affair... and a pretty price tag by the end of the evening. i blew a $100 to "scope out" a place... this restaurant better be the bomb when mom comes. it just annoys me when she said i shouldn't have spent the bill because the food wasn't all that great... like last summer... when i went to Strip House.... dropped liek $400 and then got complaints... haha! man, we should just go to like CeCe's pizza!
.
the occurences of these past two weeks have been all jumbled up i apologize. i think it was two weekends ago, between my dates with SM, that i went out with Jake (he's i guess my first friend in houston) to the gay mecca of south beach. we went for a pretty short time relatively, again with his on and off friend shannon, and had a decent time i thought. i ran into that but ugly guy i went out on a date with a while back, said hello... but kepted my distance mostly. but yeah, south beach is just a typical bright lights, fog machines, pretty boys, and fag hags, kind of place... oh so fun. of course, what i like is after you're stamped you can leave, walk next door,a nd get liquored up at the bar called JR's, and then come back in and boogie.... not that SoBe doesn't also have a great bar... but its just a different scene. there is one thing at Sobe that i haven't gotten tired of and its when they set off the cold fog and literally... its ultimately like dancing in a cloud bc you can't even see your hands, its that thick.... and its nice and cold! anyways, i've been having a good time with jake these past few weeks. we don't hang out all that much now with work and he has school and work... but we keep in touch via IM. i won't say much now, but he's turning out to be a unqiue guy... interesting... and i'm not exactly sure i've got hime figured out. anyways... he's cool as a friend and truly a nice guy. i'm glad we met.
.
i've recently JUST met this other guy, who i think is ridiculously adorable and i'd like to become friends with... and more. finally a guy i'm into... for real... and who seems to be kind of into me... i think. we'll see. don't hold your breath... but i wonder if this one will become anything.
.
just a quick note about work. my china excursion got canceled because of contract difficulties but supposedly i am going sometime in september / october. oh well. in the mean-time i'm going not as far as asia... but to another place exotic yet ive been... dubai. no... i'm not lucky enough to go there... and prob wouldn't want to now... its prob ridiculously hot!. but i am working on a project there.... not so interesting for now because its mostly just CAD, but i dunno... it may have the potential to be a design project of sorts... or maybe something that can propel myself up the ranks. i shouldn't get too burned out by these numbing CAD projects but keep in mind that i need to constantly "wow" the folks.... someday i really should realistically think of when i want to reach goals like associate, getting my license, etc. haha... if only i can stop surfing online everynight! i still have yet to finish that paper work of the family business... nwo almost 3 months after i've been back... haha. so typical of alex..... strong at first... no carry through. hmm... it's like my raquetball swing. haha.
.
till next time folks.... have a drink.... bottoms up!
