Halloween has come and gone

And here I am to tell the tale. What a wild and crazy weekend. This was, of course, perfect for me, as I am one Wild and Crazy Guy! We drove down Friday night. A surprisingly short trip, thanks to the comedic stylings of our driver, Carter (the blonde in the pix) and James (the blue star on the left).

Once we arrived, we put Carter down for a nap, and took to the streets with blue stars painted on our eyes - a New Orleans Halloween Tradition for our group. We lost a couple members of our outing to, ugh, sleep. But James, myself, and our friend Adam Miller (middle blue star) found our way, drunkenly, about the streets and slums of the city. After a brief stop at our friend Russell's home, we found ourselves parked in front of the most interesting manikin display.

Now, one would think that on the opening night of the weekend, though it was ridiculously late, we would take our happy asses over to Oz or The Pub. But NO! We stood in front of the above mentioned store for several hours and chatted the morning away.

thoroughly tired out and ready for some sleep. We each popped a sleeping pill and crashed at our respective hotels. Mine, which for some reason I have yet to mention, was none other than the infamous Bourbon Orleans.

A bit of side drama related to my hotel - a few weeks before we were to depart for New Orleans, the guy I had been seeing broke things off with me and slept with another member of the group that was traveling down together. As you may have guessed, this made things sufficiently awkward. Thankfully, Carter and James had the kindness to offer my tired rear a ride down, and my good friend Blanding offered me a bed in his room.

Ok, that's enough for now. Stay tuned for Saturday and Sunday nights. :)

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Fall is here! I can't believe how perfect the weather has been. Daytimes are somewhere around 8-90 degrees, and evenings are a chilly 50. It's just cool enough to wear jeans, but still warm enough to get away with a short sleeved shirt. We've got a few months of the gorgeous weather to look forward to.

I have to say, I will miss the seemingly endless afternoons spent have conscious beside one fabulous pool or another. This summer was so much fun. I got to spend time with a lot of good friends, and make some new ones. (see pictures) I look forward to what the winter has to bring. I'm considering heading up to New York for Christmas. I do so love that city in the winter, but not for more that four days at a time. (Sweet Jesus, it's punishment just to leave the hotel - but the shopping is worth it)

Those afternoons beside the pool were not without purpose. We spent many of them plotting out how best to spend our winter. Coming up first is the New Orleans Halloween trip. This trip is particularly fun for all involved. Consider, if you will, a city composed of people utterly obsessed with their creepy culture of drinking, shrimp and graveyards. I've never seen people put so much thought into their costumes. Very impressive. I'll be making a video again this year. Watch for it. You can see the current one on my website.

Pictures from the weekend

Tay Updates

Things have been especially hectic in my world of late. I'm going to touch on a few subjects. First, we'll go through my social life and job, then we'll touch on my contest this evening for the Wet Bar Calendar.

My day job keeps me busy from the moment I roll out of bed (usually somewhere after 10am - god bless america), till I finally black out somewhere after midnight. I love that my job allows me to go out and be a beautiful social butterfly. The marriage of my social and professional lives hasn't been all milk and cookies, however.

It hit me on the dance floor, just before I was to attempt a rather silly dance step. I was all like, "Yo! You can't step up like this, T. You gotta present yourself to these bitches in a professional manner, cuz, what if one of dem wants to buy a house?" Like, really - wow.

So, I'd suppose that I've been growing up. How about that? Before too long, I'll be hob knobbing and rubbing elbows with the elites on Saturday nights, as opposed to dancing around like a shirtless wild man.

In other news, I've been working on refinancing my mother's home. Interesting. I tell you, taking care of friends and family is great, because you love them and you want them to be happy, but you suddenly become a call center for any question they might have, at any time of the day. Gone are the care free days of gossiping about the family's dirty laundry. They've been replaced by endless discussions of papers, signatures, rates and terms. Love you, mom!

Oh, and I'll be bringing sexy back tonight at the Wet Bar, as I compete with 10 other finalists for the cover of the calendar and $3000. Wish me luck. Hopefully, I'll have pictures to post on Monday.

Queen on Queen marriage

Gay marriage has been fucked in another two states. Huzzah for New York and Georgia! Two states renowned for their grasp on the english language, gay bashings and meth labs.

I'm all for a little man on man consensual rape, but we're getting the short end of the sick stick here, people. I'm going to throw a few quotes atchu from a CNN article I recently perused:

Georgia reinstates ban

In Georgia, where three-quarters of voters approved a ban on gay marriage when it was on the ballot in 2004, the top court reinstated the ban Thursday, ruling unanimously that it did not violate the state's single-subject rule for ballot measures.

...

Forty-five states have specifically barred same-sex marriage through statutes or constitutional amendments. Massachusetts is the only state that allows gay marriage, although Vermont and Connecticut allow same-sex civil unions that confer the same legal rights as heterosexual married couples.

...

The New York court said any change in the state's law should come from the state Legislature, Judge Robert Smith wrote. The decision said lawmakers have a legitimate interest in protecting children by limiting marriage to heterosexual couples.

...

It went on to say the law does not deny homosexual couples any "fundamental right" since same-sex marriages are not "deeply rooted in the nation's history and tradition."

*end quotes*

Ok, so a quick rebuttal from yours truly. Wasn't the country under the belief that slavery was a fundamental right at one point? That was deeply rooted in the nations history and tradition, if I recall.

Sweet fuck. Can we just get Hillary in office and get this whole mess worked out? Please? PLEASE!!!!

Sunny San Francisco

I just arrived in northern California last evening after being delayed in the ATL for an hour and a half. What a nightmare that flight was. Let me start off with the seating arrangement. When I was making my reservation, I noticed that the plane had three rows of seating. How interesting, I thought. I hadn't ridden on a triple row since I was a child. I giddishly selected a middle aisle, middle seat. Big mistake.

I arrived at my seat to find an elderly, foreign fellah eagerly awaiting me. He had been watching me since I walked into the plane. A gold, silver and stained brown toothed smile reared at me. With the horrendous open cavern came a smell unlike any I have ever smelled before. The closest I could come to describing it would be the open ass of a 4 day dead donkey... After eating a meat pie.

More Pictures

I fig, why not? Here's some more fairly odd pictures from my collection. They're neat! Enjoy.... if you dare.

Gay Days Photos

I've been seriously bad about updating. Sorry all. I'm including some of my personal favorite photos from the Gay Days Orlando trip. Once again, WOW.

Gay Disney

Wow, beyotch. Wow. I'll post pictures and my review Tommorrow. After I'm off the Tuesday Blues. I just cried while I was watching the Real World Key West. Please help me.

Some Hotness

Came across this kid on the net today. He calls himself Ray, is supposedly 20 years old, and looks, as Peter Griffin would say, 'fricken sweet.'

He stands 5'10 and weighs in at 180 lbs. God dayumn. can bodies look like this w/o steroids? These pictures are certainly pushing me towards the needle, I'll tell you that much.

New Pictures!

The last couple weekends have been a ton of fun. Like, scary mary fun. My good friend Jim was thrown a brunch by the head of PR for Nieman Marcus, and was kind enough to envite me. The event took place on a Saturday morning... let's see, the 13th, in the Nieman Marcus soopah special dining room. It was about 12 queens, two women, and a HOT model walking around in next to nothing. I'll write more on this when I have the pictures resized and ready to show. The first picture with my 'fetch'ing haircut is from the event. Gosh, I'm dreamy

Wow, I'm so enjoying these new pictures. I forgot how much fun it is to take out the camera. These are going up in my myspace page as well. Ch-ch-check it out!

The second string of pictures is from a bathroom right after I worked out my (soon to be) massive pecs. These pix made me want to open up my manhunt account again!

Atlanta guys are cute

Case in point, our loverly little Shane, here. Look how he kicks the water and splashes about. Frolicking, even. Isn't that just great?

Sometimes I feel like that song at the start of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. I've been to Georgia and California, and everywhere in between. I've been to paradise... yadda yadda.

I've lived in 6 states (9 cities), and have found that the best looking menz is in the south. Miami has the hot latin flair. New York is littered with muscled guidos. But Atlanta? Atlanta gets a mixture of the two, along with what I like to call, corn-fed. You know, the big yummy white guys with muscles in all the right places? Yeah, those. Some people refer to them as turnips.

Oh, and since I'm sure you're asking yourself, "What about LA," let me just tell you: Stunted! Hot guys, zero soul. Well, I'm sure there are some good people out there, but I was too busy shopping myself around and finding out what everyone else could do for me. It's tres hip to be uber shallow, narcissistic and stuff in La la land. Part of me hated it, but a bigger, more selfish part loved it.

Naruto Filler Crap

Alright, is anyone else enjoying the translated, but not quite dubbed, versions of the Japanese anime, Naruto, really really disappointed? It seems like the anime is seeing a hard time on both Japanese and American shores. As I've voiced here before, the American dub is horribly acted. It's either crappy voice talent or crappy producing. I mean, Naruto sounds like some 13 year old lesbian. Please!

What's really pissing off loyal Naruto fans is that the manga is so damn good. It's risen to be the number one manga on American shores withOUT any advertising whatsoever. That's no small feat, ichiban.

For those of you unfamiliar with a filler episode, let me fill you in. Once the anime catches up with the manga, they begin to produce 'filler' episodes to give the manga time to move ahead. This is why you'll notice that a lot of anime episodes stretch out forever that which took one or two issues in the manga to cover. The stories end up getting butchered, and new, crappy as hell, characters emerge and are killed off in one or two episodes. That way there is no impact on the main storyline. Lame as Hell!

The theory behind the filler episodes is that people will lose interest if the show goes off the air for 6 weeks while new content is being developed, and never get picked back up. I think they should just do a two hour special that sticks strictly to the manga once a year. Put a lot of production into it. Make it look great, instead of crapping out on the animation and reusing all sorts of shit from earlier episodes. I was watching one where 15 seconds of animation was lifted directly from the main series.

How to be a Loan Officer

I've decided to take my part time job and make it full time! After working as a loan consultant in my free time for the past x months, I'm going for it, baby! It keeps me super busy - a good thing. I get home from work and the gym around 6 or 7, and by the time I'm done cooking and eating dinner, it's time to go to bed. I'm keeping out of most trouble that I usually find myself in on free evenings. How dull.

The weekend is almost upon us again. How this week has flown by! A random thought: I think just about every queen in Atlanta has their hand in the real estate market in one fashion or another. It's quite hip, you know.

My plans for the weekend are rather boring. I'm thinking there'll be a movie night or two, and possibly a visit to a concert of some sort on Saturday. Wouldn't that be neat as neat can be?

*tip for the week*
Before you go out, apply some clear mascara to your eyelashes. This makes your eyes pop, without putting on makeup. Just think of it as eyelash gel.

Manga and Me

I love manga. Not all manga, just the crazy upside-yo-mama's-head ones. For instance: Full Metal Alchemist. Bef0re I even knew about the manga, I had been watching the very interesting anime on cartoon network. It succeeds in areas so many other animes flop in: entertainment - stability - principles. Each episode is entertaining and new, while sticking to the overall story arc.

Not all anime stick to their guns like this. If you've ever watched the Dragon Ball series, you know what I'm talking about. Coolest character designs around, but God, that show sucked to no ends! Every episode was boring as hell, and usually ended up with a 'cliff-hanger' that didn't really matter. It seems like a lot of anime fall into this pattern.

For instance, anyone following the Japanese line of Naruto, knows that the show has fallen on 'filler' episodes. Filler episodes are those in which nothing adversly or otherwise effects the characters. The stories are dreamt up by some idiotic Japanese producer who doesn't know his elbow from his asshole. In Naruto's case, the anime had caught up with the manga (which had taken a half year break to come up with new material, or smoke a bowl, or whatever), and had to stall while the storyline progressed.

Not only have the stories been dull, but old animations have been reused. It's pathetic. The creators need to be bitch slapped. NOW! What's the point of creating a frickin animation that's so horrible. It mocks the good name of anime! I fart in their general direction!

The bitch is BACK

I seem to have gone offline after my recent trip to California. Why? Couldn't say for sure. I suppose that since my return, I've been busy working, studying and playing.

My current company, Xylemark, has decided to up and move overseas. Something about the economy in America going down the tubes. I guess I wasn't really listening. Ah well. In their approaching absence, I had begun my search for new employment.

It didn't take me long to pull a string and find it was attached to an old friend with a job opportunity. As you read and I type, I'm currently studying to become a loan officer. Isn't that great!?! It's a rather interesting position. Lots of socializing is involved. That, I can handle. There are plenty of equations to work with, which I think are just fun. (LTV = loan amount / the lower of the appraised value or purchase price) I really did love math in school, but haven't had a job that really brought it into play until now. It's so much fun (for me, anyway) to figure out equations.

I may post more about what I'm learning as the days progress. For now, I'm still working with Xylemark, writing content, articles and press releases. I've come to quite enjoy this as well. Recently, I've diverged into writing short stories (about 2,000 words) and posting them on writing.com. It's great fun - and they get reviewed by random strangers. Isn't THAT fun?

I've decided to put my blog on typepad to rest. Gaygymcoach will have to wait. I believe I'll remap it to this site, and just do whatevah here. Maybe post some workouts and stuff. Or at least some scandalous pictures of me, me, ME!

Oh lord, not again....

After a few attempts at my own, home-made blog on my website, I'm trying a different approach, typing out tha shit and letting someone else do the friggen work. I'm a super neat guy, and I love to eat, sleep and work out. Oh, and I love me some good sexin too. That's a pic of me, the fabulous Taylor (the UberDemon) to the left. I'll be back sooner or later... or is it later than sooner?
