Well yesterday saw a random queer road trip. Along the way we listened to some great road trip music prepared just for the event. Our destination was achieved even though I’m sure I took a wrong turn somewhere. But the day was great, filled with great road trip music, conversation that was both meaningful and meaningless, a good balance and lots of coffee. I would like to do more of these road trips.
Regressing back to NYE I suspect it may be one of those ‘you had to be there’ moments but for any of you that know us IRL, you may be able to find the funny side of this story.Either way, I thought I would record it for my own memories because at the time I couldn’t stop laughing.
We spent NYE at a wine bar in town called Swish. It was a great night. Now HB and I needed to go to the toilet so we headed to the loo. HB walked in first followed by me and what he didn’t see was I was followed in by another guy. HB went into the cubical and I headed to the urinal as did the other guy. All of a sudden I hear HB say I think I need to poo, followed not long afterwards by something along the lines of I need to get it all out.
Now I know he says things like this but he thought that we were in there alone. I had to contain myself to not burst out laughing and after the guy left I just burst into fits of laughter. It took HB a while to realise that I was laughing because a random stranger was there to hear the conversation.
Anyway, it was hilarious at the time.
For those that have been regular readers you may have seen me talking about Nicholas. Nicholas is probably the sweetest guy on the net and over the last couple of years has posted some really genuine commentary both on issues and his life. Nick was responsible for poping my MySpace cherry and I subscribe to his You Tube clips because they are passionate and genuine.
The clip below talks about Prop8 etc and his feelings on the whole marriage drama. Now when I saw this clip a couple of days ago I just knew exactly what he was saying. Now I have stated my views on this previously and thought I would share Nick’s with you now. So please watch the clip and if you’ve got any comments feel free.
I know this will sound a little odd but it’s just hit me that 2008 is over. Now I probably should have given more attention to the last year because although it has had it’s difficulties, 2008 was actually overall pretty kind to me. 2008 brought me a lot of instability but at the same time I have got a huge amount of beauty from the events that have transpired.
2009 is a new year and I know there are a lot of challenges ahead. I am confident the year will be good and the challenges will, even though they may be difficult will bring about a positive conclusion. I am not big on New Year resolutions that are petty or unrealistic but there are a few things I would like to target.
This year I would like to work towards making myself stronger and more confident about making tough decisions. I want to get myself back to my 100% rule. That means that I will give 100% to everything otherwise I will not continue it. I will give 100% to my relationship and expect the same in return with no tolerance for anything else. I will do the same in my job otherwise I will look for something new. I guess looking at it what the 100% rule is about is commitment. If I can’t give the commitment I won’t continue. This is all part of me looking at what is truly important to me and minimising the things that don’t really matter.
In saying that, I have found over time that I get emotionally and physically hijacked and in the end everything that is important suffers. I don’t want to let that happen this year.
I have been blessed in many ways and I am thankful for those things. I have also consciously chosen some difficult paths in my life. That doesn’t mean they are the wrong ones, just that they are not easy paths. I have found that the blessings are far greater than if I had chosen easy paths.
So to all of you, I wish you all the best for 2009 and remember to read some good books, watch some great films and remember to love your family and partners more than ever. Have a great year.
As many of you know, every now and again I will be sent new products to test and give my opinion on. Now the thing is I will always give my honest opinion. The other side of this is that I have turned down a lot of requests for reviews simply because I have no genuine interest in the product or service. I also get a lot of requests from online retailers who send me these emails asking me to link to them and promote them. Now the latter is strange because as if I am going to promote a site I have never purchased from so I can say I am happy with all aspects of the experience.
So every now and again I receive a product that I personally really like. One I received recently is POM, Pomegranate Juice which is now available Down Under. I like this product and was impressed with how I felt. Pomegranate Juice has an unusual flavour and has a little bite which I really liked, so to read more about this product and what I thought plus links to find out more just CLICK HERE.
