Needless to say, this post turn my dreams into something more frightening.

Thanks Firecat. It was great to see you and Kevin as well. I want all to take note, for ONLY the 2nd time on 3 continents, Firecat liked the restaurant I picked! It is Xmas and miracles do happen.

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008 , but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes. (Not original, sent via e-mail to me.

When I first came to NYC, I needed the internet fast. I was in the ATT store and the lady suggested I try the USB wireless. I did and it was great. It is fast and works well. I have used it many times and it works across the country where you have good ATT reception. It can be used in airports and on all travel trips. The plan is unlimited access for 59.95 a month. The speed is very nice for wireless and it is very easy to use. If you travel a great deal, take a look at this plan. You have a month to try it and if not happy return it. At least that is what they told me.

Chasing Caligula – Madame Ovary's Fabulous Guide To Rome And The Vatican Welcome back my little divas, drag queens, twink and bears – it's time for us to have a Roman orgy! That's right my darlings, today Madame Ovary is going to tell you about the most fagtabulous city in Europe – where you can wander past statues of naked men and fulfill all of your glorious gladiator fantasies – Rome! As I'm sure you know, Rome was one of the first cities to embrace gays and lesbians. More than 2,000 years ago the emperors, senators and aristocracy of Rome were fucking and sucking each other like no tomorrow – regardless of age or gender! In fact, it was from the large orgy rooms, called Venereal Temples, where we get the modern word venereal disease! Back in the days of the Caesars, there was no stigma attached to getting your dick on with anyone you wanted to - as long as you could find a hot and horny hole. Emperor Caligula himself was known for having a stable of teenage boys to bang, and the battlefield Roman soldiers were actually encouraged to become romantically involved – so they would fight harder to save their blowjob buddies. Today, while not quite as out in the open, gay sex is still a huge part of Roman culture and happy homos are fully integrated into city life. No matter where you go, you'll find hot Italian men and beautiful boys ready to fuck and suck the night away – and you can do so with pride, knowing that you are simply fulfilling an ancient tradition. As they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do – and that means getting it on, orgy style! That said, you should take one fagtastically important piece of advice – never visit Rome in August. They call the city “The Oven” because it is so hot you can barely move in August. Plus most of the shops, clubs and bars will be closed for the month. You're much better off cumming to the city in May or June, when you can chill out and not be surrounded by terrible tourists and their screaming offspring! It will just be you and the boys! So get ready, my pretties, for a tour of Rome – just let Madame Ovary guide you to the bacchanal – to anal and back!! Cruising The Colosseum! While there are no gayborhoods in Rome, one of the main hobbies of Italian gays is cruising. In fact, while technically illegal, it's been years since anyone has been busted and the cops simply look the other way! You'll find hot men all over the city, but there are three main cruising spots where you can search for Mr. Right Now. If you are looking for action during the day, head over to Via di Montecaprino - where you'll find a nice selection of awesomely anonymous men looking for love in all the wrong places! At night, the action is harder and heavier in the Parco Bar Palombini Piazzale and the Valle Giulia, where you'll find a nice selection of ravenous Romans for your cockaholic needs! Classico Village If you like to keep your cock cruising mostly indoors, Classico Village is a fagtabulous hot spot. It was once an abandoned factory, but has now been turned into an indoor/outdoor cruising area with different themes everywhere you go. It's literally a mini gay village that is only open at night. You can chill in the courtyard, hang out in the loft and hit any of the various dancing areas until you find the man of your wet dreams! The penis party goes all night long and the men have cum to find delightful divas and sexy studs just like you! Coming Out If you are in the market for a tasty twink, head over to the Colosseum and look for the sign that reads “Coming Out.” What you'll find is not only a trendy gay bar, but also an open-air market for man meat. Most of the guys don't actually hang out inside; instead they cruise the streets in front of and around Coming Out, turning the area into all-night gay block party! You won't find many bears or leather boys – this crowd is young, dumb and full of cum! It's twink heaven and you might actually believe that some of these boys really are coming out for the first time when they meet you! Vatican City Catholic Boys Gone Wild! For any and all of us who have ever had a priest fantasy – and really, who hasn't – the Vatican is like manna from heaven! We all know the Catholic boys are the biggest pigs in the pond, and the Vatican is where they all go to play with themselves. While the Catholic Church claims to be anti gay, they have a long tradition of hating the sin and loving the sinner. Which is why you'll see tons of gay boys lining up in the Vatican to purchase the annual calendar of sexy priests. When I got my copy, the hot men with their white collars certainly made me want to get down on my knees – to pray, of course. Once inside the Vatican, you'll want to head over to the Sistine Chapel – where Michelangelo's masterpiece is painted on the ceiling. Seeing the painting of God touching Adam's fingers will simply take your breath away. Then you'll want to cruise over to St. Peter's Basilica - which is the heart of the Catholic Church. While we may not agree with the Pope on many things, we can agree that this gorgeous building designed by Ramante, Raphael and Michelangelo is enough to make any boy happy to confess his sins! Finally, check out the Vatican Museums, where you will find a collection of the greatest artwork collected by the Church over the past 2,000 years. There are relics from ancient Alexandria, Egyptian artifacts and some of the greatest paintings and sculptures in the world. You'll find yourself immersed in beauty, while surrounded by nuns – how kinky is that! Colosseum The largest and most beautiful ancient structure in Rome is the Colosseum. This is where bare-chested gladiators fought it out with each other in hot homoerotic battles that sent hearts racing during the height of the Roman Empire. Across the street from this fagtabulous structure is the barracks where the gladiators used to train and show off their muscles and moves to the crowds who were waiting to get inside and see the action! You can wander around the barracks and the Colosseum and imagine Russel Crowe – or the gladiator of your choice – getting ready to get sweaty and penetrate his opponent with his long sword. There are even handsome men standing outside in full gladiator costumes, waiting to have their photo taken with you! Think of it as foreplay before your nighttime cock cruising! The Pantheon The Pantheon is the most beautiful of the ancient Roman buildings and an awe-inspiring feat of engineering. Built in 125 A.D., the Pantheon is meant as a house of worship for all gods – including the ancient Roman deities and the modern Judeo-Christian God. Personally, I go there simply to thank all of the gods for the beautiful Italian boys that Rome has to offer! Best of all, it's free to visit the Pantheon! Trevi Fountain For those of you who like to live La Dolce Vita, the Trevi Fountain will make you cream your jeans! The largest baroque fountain in the world is so well known mostly because it is shown in almost every movie ever set in Rome. It is 26 meters high and sits on the site of an ancient Roman aqueduct. The highlight of the fountain is a statue of Neptune struggling to tame an unruly seahorse. The main attraction is throwing small coins into the fountain – which is supposed to guarantee the visitor good luck and encourage fate to make you cum back to Rome for fun! Spanish Steps If you want to be fagtabulously fashionable, you'll want to check out the Spanish Steps – a gigantic staircase leading up to the Trinita dei Monti church. The steps connect the church to the world famous Barcaccia Fountain. What makes the steps fabulous is that they play host once a year to one of the most famous and watched fashion shows in the world – and serves as the catwalk to the most glamorous models on earth. The steps are also surrounded by a ton of fagtastic designer boutiques including Prada, Valentino and Gucci. It's enough to completely destroy your credit card – but damn honey, will you look good! (The Intercontinental Hotel is a skip, hop and jump away and my fav in Rome) The National Museum Of Pasta When you go to Rome, you cum for the men but stay for the cuisine! Of course the architecture and ancient ruins are beautiful – but Rome is the home of pasta. So, when you get tired of looking at ancient paintings and sculptures, why not go to a museum dedicated to the real masterpieces of Rome – fresh pasta! The National Museum of Pasta on Palazzo Scanderbe will teach you everything you've ever wanted to know about the history of pasta but were afraid to ask. You'll discover how different types of pasta have been made throughout the ages, what makes one pasta taste better than others, and even get to sample pastas from around the world! It's so delightful, you'll need to head to the gym afterwards! Run Off To Roma – And Meet Your Favorite Michaels And Angelos! Whether you want to shop at high fashion shops, cruise for uncut cuties or just immerse yourself in ancient history, Rome has everything a sexy stud or delightful diva could want from his next gaycation! When in Rome, do as the Romans do – and then let the Vatican bring your to your knees! And, if you are scoping out the sexy priests, don't be surprised if you see Madame Ovary ogling right along beside you. There's nothing like a stiff collar to get me all hot and bothered!

In past years, this has coincided with the Internext Adult Expo. Is it the same this year?

LOL Thanks. That kept me laughing.

Let me also welcome you! It is a big step for many. When I first posted on Hooboy it was a big step for me as well. I enjoyed it and participated often and even got into some heated exchanges. The one I remember the most was over tips to sauna boys in Brazil. I was seen as a devil to many posters in the South America forum and was even shunned when I showed up at a local restaurant in Rio. LOL I learned that many don't agree with me on the issue and no need to discuss my tips with anyone. My business and no one else's. I always give suggestions but not everyone will agree. I learned a lot from Marc Anthony about how to deal with twinks. I learned a lot about integrity from TY. I learned a lot about fair play and rules from Barry. I learned a great deal about the boys in Brazil from Trilingual. I learned a great deal about Thailand from Axiom and a few others. And, I learned a lot about how to enjoy life from Hooboy. Those are just some of the guys I learned from. Welcome. I hope you are able to get information of value from the site and I hope that you are willing to provide us with your experiences as we will learn from them.

When we first started this site, one thing was agreed upon. That is that we would monitor the forums and make sure it stayed a gentleman's forum. We rarely remove any posts. We try to keep the forums a free flowing area where posters can post anything they want within the guidelines and still keep the interest flowing in the site. TY and Barry are amazing at this. They both have a firm grasp of the site and the posters on the forum. I have always thought that free speech is important and believed this on every board I have been a member. But, there are lines that need to be drawn and when those are crossed we do step in. Take a look at the Forum Guidelines. It was written as an example of what can and cannot be posted. When people still to the topic and don't get personal attacks involved, we keep our distance. I must say that the forums provide me great job and I love all the different points of view. I don't always agree with them, but I do enjoy a good conversation. Thanks to all who participate.

It is suppose to be there. We are taking many comments into account to bring in other revenue streams. TY has worked hard to be sure we have many options for Silver and Gold and something that most will be comfortable with. With a free registered membership, one will still see full profiles, full reviews, access to forum and chat room. None of this will change. We will try to provide a few other enhancements that will be announced later during this transition.

Here are just a few of the full featured movies sections you get with the Gold. They each have 4 different full movies each month in each category. There are also more bi and straight videos for those interested but I didn't put them in here as I know some are offended by pussy.

One of the things I have worked hard on this year is getting into shape. It is a constant struggle. I find when I travel that I have the hardest time keeping with my regime. Living in a hotel for a period of time always throws off the body and of course you eat differently than you do at home. It is a hard adjustment for me. I saw this list which is great and also found a new website for traveling. Both links are below. 1. Houstonian (Houston) 2. Renaissance ClubSport (Walnut Creek, CA)* 3. Park Hyatt at Bellevue (Philadelphia) 4. Four Seasons (San Francisco) 5. Embassy Suites Lakefront (Chicago) 6. Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine (La Jolla, CA)* 7.

For gay books, 2007 was the best of times and the worst of times. Setbacks in the gay publishing industry did not keep good gay books from being published or good gay writers from doing what they do best, but several gay publishers and one gay book club went, or are going, out of business. Here are the literary highs and lows of the year along with our choices for the author of the year, the top five books of the year and other assorted honors passed out with bright, shiny holiday bows.

The rumor has it that Apple will be coming out with a new laptop in Jan at the Mac Conference in San Francisco. For those of you that have to keep up with the latest versions, don't spend your Xmas money too early. The new ones are supposed to be ultra portable. But, who knows?

What if you could take a drug that would quickly alter your sexual orientation from straight to gay, or vice versa? To their surprise, neurobiologists have discovered that homosexuality can be turned on or off in fruit flies. They’d known that sexual orientation can be genetically programmed, but they didn’t realize it could also be altered by giving a drug that changes the way the flies’ sensory circuits react to pheromones. Within hours of the treatment, previously heterosexual male fruit flies would be courting other males, and treatment could also cause flies who had been engaging in homosexual behavior to become exclusively heterosexual, the neurobiologists report in Nature Neuroscience. You can read a summary of it here from the University of Illinois at Chicago, the home of one of the researchers, David Firestone. “It was amazing,” Dr. Firestone said. “I never thought we’d be able to do that sort of thing, because sexual orientation is supposed to be hard-wired. This fundamentally changes how we think about this behavior.” I asked Dr. Firestone if it might be possible one day to quickly alter humans’ sexual orientation. Here’s his answer: Although I am not sure my research is a big step in this direction, I think that ultimately the answer will be: Yes. After all, the goal of neuroscience is a complete understanding of brain function. Understanding in science is typically demonstrated by the ability to control a process. See the full article: http://tierneylab.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/1...nyt&emc=rss As for me, I would not for one second give up, turn off or do away with my gayness. However, I don't know that I would have come to that same conclusion when I was in high school and being teased for being a sissy.

The Mac show is in January and they always have a new product. This time around it is supposed to be a new laptop. Some even say an ultra portable. If you are planning on getting a mac laptop, you may want to wait one month to see the new version. Apple stands to do well over the holidays and add to their cash purse. They have over 14 billion in cash and are expected to add another 1 or 2 billion over the holidays. Amazing.

Has anyone used this product before? I never saw it in Thailand but have become a true believer after a friend introduced me to it. It helps keep the bumps away from your skin when you shave. I thought it was rare but I heard Dr. Oz, famous doctor who does the Oprah Winfrey show, talk about how wonderful it was. If you have this in Thailand, it is amazing and worth a try!

Well, actually the Gold has over 100 different movies each month. Tons of sex and hotties. None of them can hold up to the TinWoodman as he was hard for 6 hours but.....

The CIA made videotapes in 2002 of its officers administering harsh interrogation techniques to two al-Qaeda suspects but destroyed the tapes three years later, CIA Director Michael V. Hayden said yesterday. Captured on tape were interrogations of Abu Zubaydah, a close associate of Osama bin Laden, and a second high-level al-Qaeda member who was not identified, according to two intelligence officials. Zubaydah has been identified by U.S. officials familiar with the interrogations as one of three al-Qaeda suspects who were subjected to "waterboarding," a technique that simulates drowning, while in CIA custody. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte..._print/asection Does this really surprise anyone at all? It was obvious for all but to have it officially announced shows just how low we have gone.

I saw a miniseries last week called The Tinman. Having loved the Wonderful Wizard of Oz for many many years, I was happy to see a new movie based in Oz. The miniseries was 3 2 hour episodes each. This Sunday night, they are doing a repeat of it and showing all 3 episodes together. If you have time to watch it, it is an enjoyable story. It reminded me that those that think out of the box are often those with the best ideas. http://www.scifi.com/tinman/?__source=GGL|...c|KWRD006tinman

News of the latest gun massacre in a mall is horrible. The 19 year old that committed the act left a suicide note. What a sad day for the people in that area. The BBC had an article on it and said: The incident is the latest in a series of mass shootings in the US, which have reignited the debate in the US about gun ownership. The Supreme Court will consider Americans' right to bear arms early next year for the first time in nearly 70 years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7130504.stm Do you think this is true? Do you really think there is a debate going on?

LOL. Tell ya what, go with me to get my next tattoo and hold my hand and we make it a lifetime upgrade. But, be forewarned, I am a total pussy when I get these things and cry like a baby.

BTW: Lucky, thanks for the site: bodymod.org I have really enjoyed it over the last 24 hours. Amazing some of the photos there. I rarely find a new site that really keeps my interest as much as a new Steven King thriller, but this one does. Thanks.
