In case you haven't been keeping track of exact the exact date (which I barely have), last Saturday was the third year anniversary of this blog. And since it's a big milestone, I'm using it to announce some big news. I'm shutting this site down. But wait! That's not all! I know it's been a while since I last posted on here, and it's been even longer since I posted on here consistently. Part of

My friend Neil the Erotic Hypnotist is going to be giving a talk and demonstration on erotic hypnosis, at an event hosted by the New York Boys of Leather (NYBoL). If you're in New York or the NYC area, I highly recommend going. It's being held on Thursday, February 10 from 8:30 to 10:00 pm at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center at 208 W. 13th Street, and Neil will be

Since I got home Monday night, I've just been processing the last weekend and trying to organize my thoughts. A lot happened so this recap might come off more as a random assortment of thoughts. First of all, since there seems to have been a lot of controversy over whether or not this MAL was a disaster, I'll start off by saying that it was great. This was only my second MAL so maybe I wasn't as

Mitch Daniels, the Republican governor of Indiana is taking heat from social conservatives for telling The Weekly Standard that the next president "would have to call a truce on the so-called social issues" until the economy improves. Now some conservatives are going after CPAC for inviting him to speak, as well as for being a secret front for the Muslim Brotherhood. And what better way to

Hmm... I'm sipping a vodka soda with lime (a Fire Island drink) and suddenly wondering what the randomness of my current desktop view says about the current state of my life: I need to move to the fucking city already. Yes, I'm listening to Mad Season, and yes, that page is written in Romanian.

It's been a while since I've done a post about how hot former Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo used to be, so here's a new one. I'm sure he wouldn't be happy to hear it, but watching videos of him performing when I was a kid was probably one of the things that turned me gay...

For the past day or so there was a strange message coming up saying there was an image linked without authorization from the Thumblogger server and prompting a user name and password. I think I just got rid of it. It seems Thumblogger doesn't allow you to link blog icons from their site, so I shut them off and it seems to have done the trick.

Lately I've been getting political criticism on this blog that sounds disturbingly similar to the Tea Party crowd. All the racist, classist gays seem to be comfortable coming out these days. The fact that this anonymous commenter couldn't even put his name up on my Columbus Day post speaks for itself: Howard Zinn was an active member of the communist party who stated that he was to the left of

I think I feel the same way about Hillary Clinton that most of gays seem to feel about Lady Gaga... (that she should be president). Of course Hillary Clinton has a special role to play, as Secretary of State, in assuring young gays that it does get better. During the height of the Cold War, the State Department was ground zero for government persecution of gay men and women as many were

Today is Columbus Day, and what better way to observe it than by reading the first chapter of Howard Zinn's  A People's History of the United States, with his detailed and disturbing accounts of early interactions between Europeans and the natives of Hispaniola, Mexico, and the future United States. Here's an excerpt. I highly recommend reading the whole chapter, which you can find here at

Well, I don't have too much to report this weekend, except that I'm feeling kind of nostalgic for old R&B. So for that reason, I'm listing to the S.O.S. Band song "Weekend Girl", cracking open a beer, and watching some naked Bulgarian kid do handstands on cam. Hope y'all are doing the same.

In the wake of recent attention being paid by the media to gay teen suicides and bullying, columnist Dan Savage launched a YouTube channel to host inspirational videos made by older gay men to kids who are in school and just coming to terms with their sexuality, having to deal with being different. I think it's a great idea and strongly encourage readers of this blog to make their own videos.

My friend, Neil the Erotic Hypnotist, and I have had a long-running competition for who can get the most cruises on Recon in a month. I tend to score higher earlier on in the month but he usually catches up. Lately, since he's been beating me and I've taken to pretending to be better than the whole thing. But I also tell him that it's not the number of cruises that count as much as the ratio of

This video from British TV has a behind the scenes look at the original Mortal Kombat video game and the process they used for photographing the actors who played the characters.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve found myself increasingly distressed by events in this country. I haven’t felt this sad about the anniversary of 9/11 since the first one, back when it was still assumed to be a day of mourning. It became increasingly clear over the years that interests in this country preferred to make the anniversary a day of blind nationalism. Now it seems that 9/11 is on the

It’s come up about ten times on my Facebook news feed in the past two days but I haven’t felt comfortable “liking” it on there since I’m not out on my profile and have almost no info about myself, so I guess this is to show my approval.

I’ve been watching Hillary Clinton’s speech from the Democratic National Convention in 2008 and feeling really sad, remembering how much of an amazing, hopeful time this was. I still have no regrets voting for her in the primaries and I know plenty of people who regret now that they didn’t choose her. As intense as the campaigns were, and as much as she and Obama made each other better candidates

I’m a history buff, with a strong focus on social justice, class struggle, minority rights. But for some reason, I’m fascinated by fascist war songs. I use the term fascist loosely, to refer not just to Italian Fascism, but also parties that came into power during the same period, in Spain, Croatia, etc. In some cases these songs are still illegal to perform to this day in their countries of

I saw an ad for a website called I Write Like, which is supposed to analyze any sample of writing you give it and tell you what famous author has the closest writing style to yours. I was curious so I put in the text from my last post, here's the result I got: I write like James JoyceI Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing! Seriously??

So it just occurred to me that today is a strange kind of anniversary for me. Five years ago today, I met up with a guy off the internet. He was six years older than me, completely closeted (like I was), 6’2 and 185 lbs, perfect body, military, black Irish – just my type. We met up at a diner and I was nervous as fuck because I’d never messed around with a guy before. He was nervous too. We

This high school photo of my media crush Rachel Maddow just proves how drastic an impact college tends to have on us queer kids.

To illustrate how hot it’s been down there, Rob from Atlanta sent me this picture he took of a car wash being given by a local gay softball team. From the title of the pic I’m assuming this event was put together by a club called Swinging Richard’s, so I wanted to give a shout out to them if any of them happen to read this blog.

I hadn’t seen this live clip until recently. Alice in Chains was and probably still is my favorite rock band of all time. This song is “Love, Hate, Love,” off of the 1990 Facelift album. I think I like this version of the it better than the one on the album, which has a rhythm guitar part playing over Jerry Cantrell’s lead during the verses. Back when I was first learning to play guitar as a

I’ve been trying to do this exercise and it’s fucking humiliating how bad I am at it. They’re also called pistol squats, which makes sense because they make you want to shoot yourself after you fail at them and feel worthless. The good news is that I can get almost halfway down now, I think. The guy in this video is ridiculous, especially after the first minute when he keeps on adding weight.

I’ve always had a crush on Henry Rollins, and Glenn Danzig’s solo band, at least the incarnation of it from the late 80s through the early 90s, is one of my favorite metal bands – back in high school, I taught myself to play the John Christ lead guitar for most of the songs off Danzig II: Lucifuge. So when I heard about this Henry and Glenn Forever comic by Tom Neely, I could only wonder, how did

Late Saturday night and into Sunday morning, I got to experience my first Black Party - my first real circuit party, for that matter. I got there early, around 11, because I had to be there before midnight to take advantage of their $40 twink price. I saw lots of hot guys there, ran into some friends, and managed to get myself some action; thanks in part to my hot new Nasty Pig fighting shorts.

So there I was, minding my own business on Google and about to do a search for a Wall Street Journal article when the predictive search function CLEARLY finished my thought for me:Or maybe Google just treats all the Reagan speechwriters this way...

The Black Party is coming up this month and that's a good excuse to buy some new gear. I haven't gotten anything new since September when I bought my Nasty Pig chaps from their store in Chelsea. Since I've been pretty satisfied with them, I'm thinking about heading back there. I'm thinking about going for either their Back Zip Shorts or a pair of Fighting Shorts:Back Zip ShortsFighting

I've had a problem with the "Living" section over at the Huffington Post for a while now, ever since I started noticing how the site would conflate news and legitimate analysis from my side of the political spectrum to fucking batshit insane articles supporting autism vaccine conspiracy theories, pseudo-Kabbalah bullshit, and articles about "ending death." Her "Move Your Money" campaign was

I'm putting this picture up for you readers to focus on while I take a sledgehammer to the fucking wreck Blogger has made of my template, and hope to bring some order back to it. So instead of wondering why the sidebar keeps disappearing, or where your link went, focus on this dude's abs and how he's wearing the harness backwards but still manages to look good.

This was the closest person to me on Grindr today. I don't know what this kid's deal is, but last time he was on my feed this was his profile. It's either ignorance, or being desperate for attention. I can't remember where but earlier in the week I saw a liberal pundit on TV respond to the notes written on Sarah Palin's hand saying that soon all the Teabaggers will start writing on their hands

Religious art commune Westboro Baptist Church continues to impress me with their music and video-making skills. Apart from the whole 'God Hates Fags' thing, I think they've got a pretty intriguing view of God; it's like they worship chaos and destruction. That makes them more interesting than evangelicals in my book. And as far as religious zealots go, they have surprisingly good editing skills (

I just want to repeat that this former liberal arts writing student loves Bret Easton Ellis, and is not ashamed of it: Also I have no idea what the fuck has happened suddenly to the layout of my posts and why the comments are now at the top and the headlines are small, but I made no changes to the layout myself. I'm about to write an angry email to Blogger bitching them out. Bret Easton Ellis

I just got back yesterday from DC and my first Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend, and I have to say I had a fucking awesome time. This was my first leather title event so being around so many hot guys in gear was kind of overwhelming, in a very good way...    Me and Ben (in Leather Land) I didn't take as many pictures for the site as I had planned, but I still got a few from the last night.

This conversation a friend of mine had on Grindr with a guy who IMed him kind of demonstrates how important it is to use punctuation in instant messages:

This is the creepiest thing I've seen on the internet in a while, which is probably saying a lot. This guy painted Betty White, Bea Arthur, and Rue McClanahan on his face and contorts his facial muscles to make their eyes and faces bulge while the Golden Girls theme song plays in the background.

Thanks to David Mason at House of Vader for this clip: I was never on MySpace when it was popular, but before I got dragged into Facebook I had a Friendster profile. I made the decision to switch to Facebook once I realized that Friendster was being overrun by cat profiles from Singapore. Recently I logged into my old account, and they've redone the layout of the site to try to make it look

I just stumbled on this ad clipping from 1995 on a random site and I totally remember this campaign from when I was a kid, for Mortal Kombat 3 with all the Ultimate Kombat Kode shit. I wasn't even jerking off at this point but I totally had a hard-on over this series - I mean figuratively, though I'm pretty sure all the shirtless men beating the shit out of each other ended up contributing

Probably fake, but according to Huffington Post this is what the intro to Friends looks like in Eastern Europe. This makes me wonder if that show might have been enjoyable if the music was done by Throbbing Gristle...

With all the horrible things that happened in the last decade, I think I repressed the memory of this Super Bowl commercial from the year 2000 and the controversy it caused - or maybe that's just a sign of how short-term our memories became and how numb to media controversies we got this decade. Anyway, here's Christopher Reeve walking: Gawker: How the Decade Was Supposed To Turn Out (Spoiler:

For some reason, Westboro Baptist Church put out this press release on Lady Gaga. If I was a big Lady Gaga fan I'd probably think this was awesome, but I'm apathetic and unimpressed by her so I'm more inclined to simply view this as a new low on the part of Fred Phelps' church, which I'm still not entirely convinced isn't some Neo-Dada art experiment gone horribly wrong.

Let me share with you an old memory I guess I haven't gotten over. Freshman year, in the bedroom of my best (straight) friend at college. We've broken into the house where the liberal arts school basketball team lives and stolen all of their liquor, and we're sitting in his room, and drinking vodka out of water bottles. He's singing to me - "Handsome Devil" by The Smiths - and asking me to take
