Alpha Dog

I have been using my new HD-DVR like crazy lately and happened to watch Alpha Dog tonight. I had been told that it was an ok movie and wasn't anything to write home about.

Ya, I liked it a lot. I am a big Bruce Willis fan and have loved Ben Foster since he was in Six Feet Under. I am also a big fan of Anton Yelchin he has only been in a few main stream films, but is showing up a lot more often now.

If you haven't seen this yet I advise you take a peek. I think you will enjoy it just as I did.

Work Ethic

When I was hired for my job I knew that there would be times when I would have to put in more than 40 hours a week. I hold a salaried position so I would prefer to not work more than 40 hours. Today one of the guys quit stating that he was working too many hours. I thought to myself, too many hours? He puts in less than I do, has less responsibility and was paid more than me.

So it brings me to wonder where has the good old fashion work ethic gone to? I hear about people quitting their jobs all the time, with no new job lined up to go to. How do people do this? Now I don't live paycheck to paycheck and have some money saved up, but I never could quit my job without having a new one lined up.

I guess the part of this guy quitting that bugs me the most is I know that I am going to have to fill the void. Maybe I will get lucky and get a raise out of the deal, but more than likely I will just get stuck with the extra work load.

Well I feel better now that I have put my little rant out so I think I will go surf the net for some new pics to add to my collection.

have a nice Valentine's Day

Here is my Valentine.... Well a guy can dream right?

Dan is back!!

One of the blogs I read frequently is http://daninokc.blogspot.com/. I really enjoy following Dan in his travels and the man has some great fashion advice.

Dan, as am I, is not out of the closet to many people and recently some one he knows ran across his blog. From what I gather this person flipped and Dan had to take a step back and consider some things. During this time his blog was down and i was not sure that he would be back.

He is now back up and running, but now I am wondering what would I do if put into the same situation. I guess it would depend on who the person was. I think my family would be accepting, but I don't know for sure. At this junction in time I am going to keep on posting and see what happens.

Is this thing still up?

It has been so long since my last post I almost forgot that I had a blog!

For anyone who cares , it has been crazy time since my last post. The holidays were total crap, and my job is going to be the death of me.

One good a note though, my cousin and his wife finally had their twins. Those girls are so cute right now! Makes me long for a partner and some kids. Oh wait, I don't want kids, I have the crazy dog to deal with.

I start my bowling league tonight. I still haven't figured out how I got roped into that one. Should be fun though. I haven't bowled in some time and had to dust the old ball and shoes off. Oh well I guess if I make a fool of myself it will give me something to talk about at work.

I will try to post here more often since my laptop is fixed and I am mobile again.

Welcome back boys!

I love it when college is back in session! I drive by two of the local college campuses each day coming and going to work. I see at least two good looking guys every trip. It makes me long for my own college days. I think I self supported the Miller Brewing Company those first few years. I miss school more now since I have to drive by campus so often. Oh don't get me wrong now, I was happy to be done, but I think I should have stayed and received my Bachelors. I know I can still go back, but that would require more effort then I can handle right now. At this point in time I am happy to have my nights free to spend with the dog.

I do like driving by campus though. On my way home today there was a group of guys jogging. It has been in the low 90's lately so these guys were looking nice and shiny. Not a single one was wearing a shirt and all were in peak condition. Made me want to go to the gym and work off the sandwich I had at lunch. That is one of the downfalls of hot jogger guys, they make me feel like a tub of goo. I am not overweight though. Hell if anything I could stand to put on a few pounds. None the less I still wanted to pull over and load all the guys into the back of my truck and bring them all home with me. Maybe I'll get lucky and see one, or all, of them downtown at the bar this weekend. I could only hope.

Time for the real me to emerge!

So here I am starting my transition into an openly gay life. I am going to have to take baby steps with the coming out process though. I wish however that I could just wakeup tomorrow and everyone would know and would be happy for me. A guy can dream can't he?

Now a little about me.
I am from a small town in central Nebraska. I have loving parents and a large family. However my family is Catholic and if I was to come out right this minute I would probably be shunned for the rest of my life. Well maybe not, but my mom would faint for sure. I have hinted about gay topics just to get a feel for where they sit. It has not been positive.

I do however go out to the local gay bar and I have slept with other men, so I am definitely gay. I am also proud that I am gay. I wish I could be out publicly though. I am not out at work but I don't come out and say that I am not into women. All the ladies in the office think I need to settle down with a nice girl, hell one even tried to set me up on a date with her daughter. I am not ashamed to be seen at the bar or in public with another man so what is the big deal with me coming out to everyone?
