High School Gays

There's this kid who was in a high school English class with me and found me a few years ago on Manhunt, having had no idea I was into that sort of thing. Every once in a while he IM's me and and tries to hint in awkward ways that we should hang out, or hook up. Here's the latest example:

awkwardkid: yo
awkwardkid: what goes?
mascdudewriter: not much
mascdudewriter: u?
awkwardkid: not much
awkwardkid: damm horny
mascdudewriter: lol..
awkwardkid: my dick is out my pants

Bush Is A 'Book Lover' (Ivy League Snob)

Bush seems to be dominating the headlines as we get down to the final days of his presidency. Huffington Post picked up on a Karl Rove editorial from the Wall Street Journal where he talks about how Bush read 95 books in 2006.

In the 35 years I've known George W. Bush, he's always had a book nearby. He plays up being a good ol' boy from Midland, Texas, but he was a history major at Yale and graduated from Harvard Business School. You don't make it through either unless you are a reader.

Linkins makes a good point about how this proves that the anti-intellectual nuclear-mispronouncing image Bush projected was fake. "It's such a relief to me that at last we are allowed to think of President Bush as a privileged, Ivy League elitist with a fake Texas accent." But reading this article, I started wondering to myself how low that number of books would have to be for him to not look like an elitist snob. It is kind of unsettling to think he could have been spending time that should have gone to issues like national security and the economy sitting around reading, but if it came down to having a 'good ol' boy' or a 'book lover' as president, I'd probably go with the latter.

Words...

Been a few days since I last posted, but now that the holiday (that one) is over things have begun to wind down. My main concern these days has been my work on my novel. Somehow over the last semester I ended up with 40,000 words of a manuscript. Before this, the longest single story I'd ever written was 18k words, so this is kind of a big deal...

Anyway. I told myself (and my adviser) that I wanted to be at 50k by the end of my break. Basically I've given myself until around MLK Jr. Day to write 10,000 more words. I actually wrote about 2,500 words in two days last week - bringing me up to 40k - so I'm pretty sure this is doable. The problem is that I can't concentrate at home. Every time I tell myself, tonight's gonna be for writing, I end up getting drunk with people. And every time I sit down at my laptop to write I end up jerking off instead.

But on the other hand, I guess I have faith in myself to pull it off in the end somehow, like I always do. I'm surprised at myself for coming this far this quickly with it. I'm sure I'll end up bitching about it some more real soon though. Any agents or people with influence (Oprah..?) out there reading this thing?

UPDATE: 41k!

Canadian Researchers: Drunk Women Have Bad Taste In Men

From Telegraph:

Dr Kirsten Oinonen, of Lakehead University, in Canada, said: "My study suggests that sober women who drink alcohol are less able to perceive facial symmetry when sober.

"When sober, these women are worse at judging facial symmetry, and therefore may find less attractive men more attractive. Given that symmetry is associated with attractiveness of faces, my study does suggest the possibility that alcohol intoxication may decrease facial symmetry perception, and make people look more attractive.

"This is the first study to look at this issue. It suggests that as typical alcohol consumption increases in young women, facial symmetry perception performance decreases."

Good thing this only applies to women. Facial symmetry is very important to me. This could explain why I've NEVER made a bad judgment in hooking up with a guy after drinking.

Never.

Weekend Recap

I headed over to the nybol leather gear party last night at Stonewall, and had a fucking great time. It was the first time in a while I got to wear my leather out, and I got to release some of the stress of the last few weeks of the semester. Wish I had taken some pictures, but oh well, maybe next time. Also, there was a photographer from HX there, so there may be a pic in there of me getting my nips played with. Managed to get a bit of action too. I also gotta thank my friend from school for letting me crash at his place. Now I guess I just gotta make it through the holiday season. If anyone feels like donating me some gear, that'd make a great present...

Fun With Law Enforcement

Earlier tonight, a guy who said he was a retired cop and looking for a hot young dom to humiliate him asked if we could meet in a public place...

Then he told me that his ideal situation would be meeting me in a public restroom and me forcing him to go into a stall and strip. Him having been in law enforcement, I reminded him that that kind of thing might be kind of illegal. His response was, "Only if you get caught!!!"

The Gayest Bookshelf Ever

My dad just moved into a new apartment and I'm back with him on break. He let me have one of his old bookshelves and I decided to devote an entire shelf to my queer literature studies (though there's some that couldn't fit). Even though I'm not out to him, he'll never suspect anything because he was a liberal arts student during the Cold War (meaning he's culturally illiterate). In case you can't see clearly, authors represented on this shelf include:

-James Baldwin
-Henry James
-Gertrude Stein
-Oscar Wilde
-Willa Cather
-Virginia Woolf
-Djuna Barnes
-Carson McCullers
-Nella Larsen

You can ask me about any of these writers after you get me drunk.

can you help me out?

There's this guy who has IMed me almost every time I've logged on to Manhunt for the past two years now. His only picture is of his dick and he lives more than an hour and a half away from me. It's gotten to the point where I don't even notice it anymore, every time I log on I just hit the ignore button and go one with business as usual.

Today, he took a different strategy, he sent me an email:

Subject: can you help me out?
Date: Thu 18 Dec 2008 02:18 PM

dude can you help me out? am lookn to get facefucked good, need it badly. is
tere any way you can help me out ?

So it seems like he's gonna try and compensate me for hanging out with him? Does he really think I'm that kind of a guy..?

Gay Is NOT the New Black

"The dominant white queer ‘languaging’ of this debate, at best, muffles the voices of these communities, and, at worst, mutes them. In other words, in leaving out the voices of LGBTQ communities of color and classes, the same-sex marriage debate is hijacked by a white upper class queer universality that not only renders these marginalized queer communities invisible, but -- as it is presently framed – also renders them speechless...

...The problem of saying “Gay is the new black” poses the following problems for many African Americans:

● The Marriage Equality movement exploits black suffering and experiences to legitimate its own;

● The Marriage Equality movement’s rallying cry against heterosexist oppression dismisses its own responsibility when it comes to white skin privilege.

● The Marriage Equality movement appropriates the content of the black civil rights movement, but discards the context and history that brought about it.

But this is not surprising because the larger LGBTQ movement has distorted, if not erased, its own history when it come to the Stonewall Riot of June 27-29, 1969 in Greenwich Village, New York City, which started on the backs of working-class African-American and Latino transgender patrons of the bar.

Those brown and black LGBTQ people are not only absent from the photos of that historic night, but they are also bleached from the annals of queer history and gay pride events.

Because of the bleaching of the Stonewall Riots, the beginnings of LGBTQ movement post-Stonewall is an appropriation of black and brown transgender liberation narratives absent of black and brown people. And it is the visible absence of these black, brown and yellow LGBTQ people that makes it harder for white queer elites in our movement to confront their racism and trans-phobia.

If African American LGBTQ people are not included in the history and in the decision -making issues involving queer life, how then can the movement expect our participation, let alone the rest of the African American community?

Sadly, if racism continues to go unchecked in the Marriage Equality movement it won’t only cost California's LGBTQ community the right to marry, it will cost us all."

Enemy Combatants Being Tortured By Adolescent Soldiers

A British law group released a list of songs used by soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay to torture detainees. Here are some of the most frequently used ones:

-"Enter Sandman," Metallica.
-"Bodies," Drowning Pool.
-"Shoot to Thrill," AC/DC.
-"Hell's Bells," AC/DC.
-"I Love You," from the "Barney and Friends" children's TV show.
-"Born in the USA," Bruce Springsteen.
-"Babylon," David Gray.
-"White America," Eminem.
-"Sesame Street," theme song from the children's TV show.

Other bands and artists whose music has been frequently played at U.S. detention sites: Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Don McLean, Lil' Kim, Limp Bizkit, Meat Loaf, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tupac Shakur.

What's funny about this list to me is that with the exception of the kids stuff, and I guess David Gray and Bruce Springsteen, this list looks an awful lot like the soundtrack to my freshman year of high school. I guess that shouldn't surprise me.
