Tre Gay Escapay
ok, that was a silly title. but it does have a smidge to do with what has happened this week... or more this weekend really. anyways, since i've already broached the topic of this weekend, why not start there? well, basically, this weekend has been a la tre gay... meaning, i got my dosage of gay-ness definitely this week. gayness and younger than thou-ness, whatever that means. ok... basically friday i hung out for the first time this guy that i have been chatting with on and off and that has actually invited me to go out with him... and his friends... a few times already. before, i actually did have things to do so i said next time and this friday... well, i figured... why not. so it was a little convoluted as my cell phone was on its last drop of power so by the time we talked, we were halfway through our conversation and then my phone died... so i then had to drive all the way home, charge the phone for a bit, and thenc ontinue our conversation. we eventually ended up meeting up and playing a few games of pool over some beers... good fun. not much to talk about but i dunno if that is due to pool or what. anyways, i said i'd also come meet his friends and let me use him as an excuse to jet early.... haha. that's where the real drama of the night i guess unfolded... as this guy's friends.... hmmm... typical younger than thou "kids" i guess. i mean, i guess i don't have that much to talk about as i may only be at most only 5 or so years younger than these guys... but still... i think i was the oldest one there. so anyways... them being drunk... it was just an eye opening experience throughout seeing these kids play. now the thing is... the guy i was hanging out before, his name is rudy... he's only 23 but well, he was a lot more... hmmm... collected... than his friends... but then again, they were drunk... so who knows. so anyways... since most of them were gay... and we ended up going to a gay club... rich's (the one i actually went too like i dunno...five years ago when maggie came to houston)... it was a tre gay escapay (escapade).
.
follow suit the next evening... in some way outdid the first. haha. the day portion was actually pretty tame. for lunch i took a ton of people out to dim sum due to some tradition it seems of the young shelling out dough for everyone to chow down, once they have received their first paycheck... i dunno where this came from, but apparently it is law of the land now-a-days. anyways... at least it was good food. after that, mei (a friend of my mom's who is a realtor... aren't they all though?)... took me on a house hunting trip. it was actually diverting... most of the places she showed me were rat holes... but i did find one unit i found promising, that i had a good feeling about... but that i knew would have issues from a feng shui perspective. and the next day i was proven right when we went back to look at it... with mom... and she said... yeah it was nice... but the siting was... "crooked". whatever that means... oh well... it was too early to really consider buying anyways... still gotta get that car out of the way. which remind me... rudy's wheels.... a "scion"... the coupe shaped one... pretty sweet dude. hmmmm. anyways.... after the house tour, took a quick nap and then went out with mei (my cousin) to see this grody movie called descent... it was deliciously horrific... really cool! after that i had to rush home and rush to downtown because i was meeting jake and shannon (jake's friend) for a further night of tre gay escapay... a la JR's and South Beach... two houston gayborhood staples. two names i hope won't be used that much in my later blogs... haha... hopefully my gay life won't degrade too much into trolling the bars and clubs multiple times a week...heehee.
.
and is it so much better now? ;-)
.
anyways... i have to say "SoBe" was pretty fun overall. jake and shannon were entertaining because they in many way are so "typicall gay" and being at a place like south beach only brought it out more... i.e. catty bitch talk about who's a hot guy who isn't... who you would sleep with who you wouldn't. oh well, still gotta love them i guess. in some ways, its interesting how i can begin seeing that there are certain things i like in this and that person and certain things i like in that and this person.... everyone has their qualities and foilables i guess. anyways... it was still very fun and the thing about sobe is that it has this cool fog mister thing every so often on the dance floor that seriously makes it impossible to even see your freaking hands.... and it so coool... like temperature wise... and rocking cool... its like... dancing... on... in.. a cloud! rocking experience. and actually i thought the mix of different kinds of people was cool... and even the mix of men and women, straight and gay... it was pretty much a mixed bag of nuts.... pretty boys, bulky boys, circuit boys, "straight" boys, drag queens. anyways... maybe it was just the novelty seen through a pair of naive eyes.
.
so we stayed till like 2:30 ish and jake and shannon wanted to leave before the sidewalk sale started haha. i was suppose to meet up with rudy and eventually he apparently did come... but we never met up.... i have a text message conversation though... haha. oh well. anyways... so that was my trey gay escapay. i could have continued it today by going on another psuedo date with a new guy but i decided to starighten it up and just hang out with my family today. all good... i got him planned for tomorrow after work anyways. haha. today my mom told me that i shouldn't spend so much time online and "wasting" my life. hmmm.. i guess its partly true but in a small way i wanted to excuse it by saying that i am working diligently on establishing a social life... although i dunno if she would share in the view of my jaunts to the gayborhood as being valid ways of establishing a "useful" social life. hmmm.
.
but weekend aside... what happened over the week? this week at work has been again pretty cool.... no day that was like completely a drag liek last friday... although funny enough.. this friday... pretty much after 4 pm... when they brought out the beer (one of the great traditions of my company... friday internal happy hour) and some... stinky.... cheese (eewww)... well basically there wasn't much point in working after that. one of the big things to report this week was my impending trip to las vegas next...or now... this week. i'm really beginnning to like my job... what was suppose to be a pretty neat trip to las vegas for a client meeting... which was only a one day affair (just cool bec of the trip) has grown into a potentially very fun and maybe debaucherous three days in sin city! wooo. i have to admit i can't take credit as it is my co-worker sam (who funnily enough reminds me of sam... my ex bf) who having never been to las vegas... really pushed for the idea of staying a few days. after some web surfing and details later, we booked two nights at the MGM grand and we'll be in vegas from thursday through sat afternoon... a nice jaunt that will get the blood working but won't be too hard to recuperate from. ;-) i dunno, sam was acting as if definitely needed to come home before sunday...as sunday definitely would be a day of rest for him... oh my. dragging drunk straight boys around... hmmm. haha.
.
my other impending trip to china maybe two weeks after that is also slowly in the works. more info to come!
.
well...not much else about work.. although i do kind of feel i am getting "slightly' a little bit of respect from some of my supervisors. my main principal contact had a pretty much "individual" crit with me this week on my proposals for this mixed use project i'm working on.. and basically said that teh concepts i produced were promising... gave good feedback... and i dunno... in one meeting... seemed to really want to listen to what i was saying... i dunno... as if what i said... had value. it was cool. we'll see how it plays out.
.
hmmm... anything else to report. well pretty much no except that i started my raquetball lessons... which i found out were free to begin with since i am a y member, compliments of my firm (i love this place!) it was hmmm... different, but cool as well. the other days i worked out, swam, even played a little raquetball pratice... all good. one day i had to stop by and do something with my phone but i think four days a week is good. two for cardio and raquetball practice, two for cardio and swimming. i think i'll start weights later on... just do cardio to get back in shape in general. i have also been having smoothies for dinner now consistently.. and other than the general weight control benefits, funny enough... i think it the yogurt cultures... but its making me more "regular"... haha. funny surprises... and my smoothies rock man. anyways...i caught myself in the gym mirror one day and i was thinking... dude... you're fat. depressing yes... i know... but hey... its good to be honest to yourself... now its about trying to stop eating all those free snacks at work! damn! :)
.
ahhh... what else. hmmm... it was my good friend's robert's 27th birthday this friday... give it up to my favorite homo... yes robert, you are... my favorite homo... so far. ;-) everyone go check out his blog, like a phoenix, re-risen from its ashes. i have been continuing to listen to my chinese sayings tapes... and this afternoon i wowed my folks with the sino bullshit i was spewing from my mouth...heehee... so easy. ahh..one lunch at work i sat with the chinese girls at work and had a fun little chit chat gossipy thing. one of them made some comment about having a gay friend at cornell and was asking me if there was a lot of gays at cornell. i wasn't quite sure what she was getting at... but for a moment... i thought... this might be a good opportunity to just come out.. in a funny way of sorts... but i dunno... still working out on the whole being gay at work thing. this is texas... they can hang you for that... nah... but you know what i mean.
.
feeling my way around still. can't wait for vegas... whoo yeah.
