"I like running alone and having the Secret Service with me added a little bit of pressure. I'm thinking I gotta have good form and can't be hyperventilating and can't be showing too much pain and that adds a little more pressure on you as you're trying to be out there enjoying your run. Then I fell coming down a hill and was so stinkin' embarrassed that a golf cart full of Secret Service guys had to pull up beside me. My hands just got torn up and I was dripping blood. In the debate you could see a big fat ugly Band-Aid on my right hand. I have a nice war wound now as a reminder of that fall in the palm of my right hand. For much of the campaign, shaking hands was a little bit painful."

This is old, but it's still pretty hot:

Stonewall

Last night was the 40th anniversary of the first night of the Stonewall riots. To commemorate them, I figured I'd put up a few pictures I've found on the web from the week of the demonstrations.

And check out this nice screenshot of the sponsored links that came up in the article where I got a few of these pics:

Thanks to a friend who's about to move to the UK:

Profiled!

Damien over at 2 cents worth Down Under just put up a post about me and my blog! He's been a reader of this site for a long time, and he's got a great blog of his own.

Check out my interview and read about exciting things like the origin of this site, views about porn, sex, kink, as well as my pretentious taste in books and music!

Folsom Street East

I spent the afternoon at Folsom Street East in Chelsea today. Last year I was diverted by an emergency trip to Fire Island, so this was my first year at the fair. I got to hang out with hot guys in leather, watch a few bondage demonstrations, and meet a few pornstars!

Chi Chi LaRue emceed and hosted a "pie-eating" contest. Here's a pic I got with her later on, where I'm giving my twinkiest smile...

I also got to meet David Mason, who runs Slick it Up. He's a really nice guy and he's got a great blog called House of Vader. He looks fucking huge next to me.

Here's me with Jonny Mack, who was also in the pie-eating contest.

And then I got to meet Ricky Sinz. Here's a pic of me, him, and Mike Dreyden, who ripped off my shirt in front of pervy journalists at the HX Erotic Expo in October.

Me with Ricky Sinz and Mike Dreyden

It was a pretty fun day overall, and in spite of the shitty weather we've been having there weren't even any sudden downpours until 8, right when everything was closing up.

Media Fail

As much as I hate Twitter, it seems to be one of the few sources where news is available on the aftermath of Friday's Presidential elections in Iran, along with a few other blogs. American mainstream media seems to have completely failed in covering these events, lagging behind the internet and international media to a degree that is almost suspicious...

If you haven't been following the story, check out Huffington Post for starters. This story keeps evolving pretty rapidly, and will likely be completely different by morning, but I doubt it will be going away anytime soon, and the cable news media is going to take a serious hit for it. This is developing into one of the most important political events of my generation, and most people are probably missing it.

Career Opportunities in the Suburbs

This isn't how this blog was supposed to turn out. Right about now, after I'd graduated and was working on finding my place in the world, I guess I was supposed to have the right job and the right apartment, and living the right life in New York as a 22 year old liberal arts school grad and passing as a twink just enough to get the few things I needed that I felt I couldn't get on my own...

I didn't want this blog to be some dumb kid bitching about how the recession has fucked him over. In the past couple months I've suffered a few setbacks. But fuck, everyone's going through bad shit right now. The good news is, I may have a job right now. The bad news is that it's back in the dead, sexless suburbs. Part of me feels like taking it is putting me behind in terms of what my future is supposed to be, like I'm delaying destiny and being in a place where I can self-actualize (sexually and artistically). But on the other hand, it's fucking money.

I shouldn't even be bitching about this kind of thing when almost all my friends are unemployed. But this is definitely not where I'd wanted to be...
