I like Aaron, James and Todd. I think James is the hottest. That guy has a great body. I hated to see Chicken leave as I thought he would be a fun character this season. But, he should have stepped up to the plate when they asked his advice. The gay Mormon flight attendant is funny. I kind of though of him when I posted the joke of the day. He has a bit of a swish to his walk, but he looks like he may last a while if he is careful.

THE GAY FLIGHT ATTENDANT My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks. As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us that "Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super." On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed this well-dressed and rather Arabic looking woman hadn't moved a muscle. "Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground." She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders f rom no one." To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, "Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I out-rank you. Tray-up, Bitch."

Did anyone else watch this show tonight? It was a bit stupid but totally entertaining. I love the guy from 6 Feet Under and the totally dysfunctional Darling family. Where do they get this stuff? A family with a priest who has illegitimate children, a Paris Hilton look alike, a horny goddess, a few other odd characters and a few billion dollars thrown together and you get Dirty Sexy Money. Having loved Dynasty years ago, I hope this show is able to grow into itself as I do really like several of the actors. Was the Tranny Candis Cayne?

“Beauty is truth. Truth Beauty. That is all you know on earth and all you need to know” said John Keats. I think I have lived my life in the pursuit of beauty. Not on me but on others. I love beautiful boys. Always have and I guess I always will. Sometimes this causes me to look the way I should not look. Sometimes, it gets me into a bit of trouble. Sometimes it works out great. I was at the gym and I needed a trainer. How do you think an old whore like me picks a trainer? If you say that I searched through all the credentials of the trainers and picked the one that was best for my needs, you would be right. Well, you would be right in that is probably what I should do. Not me. I watched the trainers for a few days and I picked the cutest one. For me, that is lean body, young, a little dark and sexy. I really didn’t care if he know anything about training as I thought I could teach him a few things. My selection was a 18 year old Latin papi. Cute, handsome and yes, Marc Anthony the twink of all twinks. I walked over to him and said, “I need a really strong man. Paused. To be my trainer. Do you fit the bill?” As they all work on commissions, he said yes. I blatantly ignored the lady beside him but my eyes were captivated by this young stud. I hired him and we began our first workout. He did a good job and was more knowledgeable than I would give him credit for. On our third session, he concentrated on my legs. OMG. He worked me till I was dead. Not only did I pick the twink, I picked a damm good trainer as well. Luckily, it fell that way. It could have been really bad. But, as luck was on my side, the guy I picked was the hottest kid I have seen in NYC and now was sweating with me a few days a week. OK OK There is no sex involved. But, I do have my hopes high. Since I can’t wear my high heels as my calves hurt so much, I am glad to have something high.

Is what he said any better than, "nappy headed hos"? ? Will there be such a commotion as with Imus?

I know the following story is not from Thailand but I do think that monks in mainly Buddhist countries have the same power. I know of few guys in Thailand who are not very respectful of monks and those that work with the temples. BANGKOK, Monday, Sept. 24 — The largest street protests in two decades against Myanmar’s military rulers gained momentum Sunday as thousands of onlookers cheered huge columns of Buddhist monks and shouted support for the detained pro-democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Winding for a sixth day through rainy streets, the protest swelled to 10,000 monks in the main city of Yangon, formerly Rangoon, according to witnesses and other accounts relayed from the closed country, including some clandestinely shot videos. It came one day after a group of several hundred monks paid respects to Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi at the gate of her home, the first time she has been seen in public in more than four years. The link between the clergy and the leader of the country’s pro-democracy movement, the beginnings of large-scale public participation in the marches and a call by some monks for a wider protest raised the stakes for the government. So far, it has mostly allowed the monks free reign in the streets, apparently fearing a public backlash if it cracks down on them in this Buddhist nation. Monks were reported to be parading through a number of cities on Sunday, notably the country’s second largest city, Mandalay, where an estimated 10,000 people, including 4,000 monks, had marched Saturday. Myanmar’s military government has sealed off the country to foreign journalists but information about the protests has been increasingly flowing out through wire service reports, exile groups in Thailand with contacts inside Myanmar, and through the photographs, videos and audio files, carried rapidly by technologies, including the Internet, that the government has failed to squelch.

Would or should? I am not so sure our government doesn't know everything that goes on and turns a blind eye until they get caught with their pants down. I agree, that they should be put on trail. I am just not sure where this will go.

It will be interesting to see how the Iraqi government will bring them to trail as they don't have any authority over them according to Congressional Research service. BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The Iraqi government will file criminal charges against employees of U.S. security firm Blackwater who are blamed for a gun battle in Baghdad in which civilians were killed, an Iraqi Interior Ministry official said Sunday. It is unclear how Iraqi courts will attempt to bring the contractors to trial. A July report from the Congressional Research Service said the Iraqi government has no authority over private security firms contracted by the U.S. government. The Iraqi government claims that as many as 20 civilians were killed by the private contractors, who were guarding a U.S. diplomatic convoy. Iraqi officials, who claim the shootings were unprovoked, dispute the U.S. claim that the guards were responding to an attack and said on Saturday they had a videotape that showed the Blackwater guards opened fire without provocation. The incident prompted the Iraqi government to call for Blackwater's expulsion from the country and sparked anger among ordinary Iraqis.

I have read this before and I have been saying that jerking off and regular sex is very healthy and will help with mental disease, health issues, stress, etc. Now, the BBC agress with me. Finally, studies are being done. Here is the story: Men could reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer through regular masturbation, researchers suggest. They say cancer-causing chemicals could build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly. And they say sexual intercourse may not have the same protective effect because of the possibility of contracting a sexually transmitted infection, which could increase men's cancer risk. Australian researchers questioned over 1,000 men who had developed prostate cancer and 1,250 who had not about their sexual habits. They found those who had ejaculated the most between the ages of 20 and 50 were the least likely to develop the cancer. The protective effect was greatest while the men were in their 20s. Men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer later in life. Fluid Previous research has suggested that a high number of sexual partners or a high level of sexual activity increased a man's risk of developing prostate cancer by up to 40%.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Alice Ghostley, the Tony Award-winning actress best known on television for playing Esmeralda on "Bewitched" and Bernice on "Designing Women," has died. She was 81. Ghostley died Friday at her home in Studio City after a long battle with colon cancer and a series of strokes, longtime friend Jim Pinkston said. Ghostley made her Broadway debut in "Leonard Sillman's New Faces of 1952." She received critical acclaim for singing "The Boston Beguine," which became her signature song. Miles Kreuger, president of the Los Angeles-based Institute of the American Musical, said part of Ghostley's charm was that she was not glamorous. "She was rather plain and had a splendid singing voice, and the combination of the well-trained, splendid singing voice and this kind of dowdy homemaker character was so incongruous and so charming," Kreuger said. In the 1960s, Ghostley received a Tony nomination for various characterizations in the Broadway comedy "The Beauty Part" and eventually won for best featured actress in "The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window." From 1969 to 1972, she played the good witch and ditzy housekeeper Esmeralda on TV's "Bewitched." She played Bernice Clifton on "Designing Women" from 1987 to 1993, for which she earned an Emmy nomination in 1992. Ghostley's film credits include "To Kill a Mockingbird," "The Graduate," "Gator" and "Grease." She was born on Aug. 14, 1926, in Eve, Mo., where her father worked as a telegraph operator. She grew up in Henryetta, Okla. After graduating from high school, Ghostley attended the University of Oklahoma but dropped out and moved to New York with her sister to pursue theater. "The best job I had then was as a theater usher," she said in a 1990 Boston Globe interview. "I saw the plays for free. What I saw before me was a visualization of what I wanted to do and what I wanted to be." She was well aware of the types of roles she should pursue. "I knew I didn't look like an ingenue," she told The Globe. "My nose was too long. I had crooked teeth. I wasn't blond. I knew I looked like a character actress. "But I also knew I'd find a way," she added. Ghostley, whose actor husband, Felice Orlandi, died in 2003, is survived by her sister, Gladys.

Having spent a great many times on planes from Bangkok to Phuket and from Pattaya to Phuket, I am saddened by those whose lives were touched by this tragedy. Oz At Least 88 Killed as Plane Crashes in Thailand BANGKOK, Sept. 16 — A low-fare airline carrying many foreign tourists crashed in heavy rain, broke into pieces and burst into flame on Thailand’s resort island of Phuket on Sunday, killing at least 88 of the 130 passengers and crew on board. http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2007/0...nd-thai_600.jpg For Full article go here: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/17/world/as...nyt&emc=rss

I had a sinus infection last week. I finally broke down and went to the doctor in NYC. The office visit costs 300 USD. The pharmacy cost another 400 USD. I am sure that I would have been treated at Bangkok Pattaya for the sinus infection for a fraction of what I paid.

SEA CLIFF, N.Y. -- A Miami woman who was a former contestant on the reality show "Top Chef" was beaten by attackers yelling anti-gay slurs, her lawyer said Tuesday. Josie Smith-Malave, a lesbian who was featured on Season 2 of the Bravo channel show, was among a small group of women asked to leave a Sea Cliff bar over Labor Day weekend, lawyer Yetta Kurland said. About 10 young people followed the women out and began screaming anti-gay epithets, spitting on them and then beating them, Kurland said. The women, who had been on Long Island to attend a friend's birthday party, suffered bruises, and one received injuries to her head. One of them had a camera taken in the attack.

Anyone in the NYC area interested in a get together at a local eatery? We did this once a few years back and it was a lot of fun. Do we have enough for a group? If so, where should we meet?

Vonage just came out with a new International Plan that is 15USD a month and includes unlimited calling to Thailand even cell phones. This is a good rate and I have used Vonage for years. It is easy to use on your computer when you are away from home and you can also use it the same as a land line when you are home. http://www.vonage.com/popups/intrates_pop....v_intratesplans

Holy Shit. What a sad saga that is. Living in Thailand much of the past few years, I have seen guys with dreams abound wanting to open a gogo bar. They put tons of cash into it and then, nothing. They don't know how to run it, get the boys, or pay the cops. It is usually closed faster than it took to remodel and then another foreigner takes over and does the same thing. In this case, the owners were not smart in selling to someone who knew how to run the business. Often it is simply a business decision but if one has put heart and soul into a place it is not easy to just let someone take it over. I hope it works out in the end and your place reopens in gay glory!

I agree with you there. When I started to loose weight, most of my friends were giving me advice on drugs to take or surgeries to do. I decided to do it the natural way. Work hard and eat right. It was not the easy way out. Although I do think it was the best way for me to do this. I have heard many say that HIV is not so bad as there are medications that will help you live a full life. That simply isn't true in every case. It is true in some that if you eat well, exercise and take your meds that the virus may go undetected for many many years. I am friends with long term survivors who have been HIV for 20 years. I am also friends with guys who get it and did within a few. A lot of our woes in this country over life and living long lives does really have to do with what we put into our bodies both in the mouth and in exercise. The healthier we live, the longer we live. Naturally, that is not true in all cases but it is in most. Thanks for a very well thought out post.

I found it interesting that the news coverage of this in the USA was very minimal. However, watching overseas channels, it was fully covered and took up large parts of news programs. Perhaps, that is one of the differences between America and the rest of the world. The world saw this as the passing of one of the great artists of all time. America was more interested in one of our Senators who wanted bathroom sex.

I have always looked at the election time as a great opportunity to have fun with the boys I like. I often rent a boat in Pattaya. It is 3 stories tall and will easily fit 50 of my favorite boys. We get booze and beer and some food. The fish we catch is cooked by the lady on board. We fish, swim, drink and have fun. The boat costs 150 for the day. I do tip the staff. I also bring lots of booze. I tell my boys to invite all their friends. We have a blast. The bars are only closed for a day or two and that is a great opportunity to have some real fun and get to know some of the boys better. IMHO

I think I have made clear my stance on personal choices and that does include smoking weed, drug use, assisted suicide, and barebacking. I have never really steered far from this. I recently met a guy who is HIV and has anal warts. He is having unsafe sex with others and does not disclose either to them. He asserts that anyone having sex should be aware of these things and the risks involved. I do agree with him. However, there is no way I would even intentionally make someone else sick. I do draw a line and I do think that as a HIV negative individual I need to have full knowledge of the things I do and the risks involved in those decisions. I don’t expect someone to tell me the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. However, I would also not expect to be lied to when important decisions are made. My friend says he talks about his status as being HIV negative and STD free. I was just floored when I heard this. I know it happens and I know it happens often but I can’t understand why. I had a boyfriend who was HIV positive for 5 years while we were living together. He never had unsafe sex with anyone. He was at the West Side Club in NYC often and loved sex but his attitude was that he would never want someone to suffer the things he suffered. For me, he was also safe and our 5 years together and I was still negative when the relationship ended. Why would someone knowingly pass on a sickness or disease to someone else? Is there something in the makeup or mind that I am missing? Is there so little compassion left for humanity that one not only wants other to suffer but makes sure that it happens? I have met many escorts who work even if they have the flu or a contageous disease. I never see an escort if I am not up to par with my health as I would not want to give the flue or a cough to someone else. I know that as the owner of a bareback site, that the issues always come up about me promoting barebacking. I promote knowledge and the more people are aimed with knowledge the better the decisions they make. It may sound like a cop out for making money but I started bareback.com because of all my friends on other dating sites who wanted to bareback and wanted others to do it with that were knowledgeable of the risks. I could go on and on but I ask the questions above. What am I missing? Also, please feel free to take shots at my stance on any issues above. Just because I am a moderator on the boards does not limit others from a lively debate. I do not get angry or upset that someone disagrees with me. Otherwise, I would be angry day and night. Those who have met me know I am pretty fucking mellow. And, that is even when I am not in Amsterdam. Oz

I was shocked as well. But, I did what I needed to do. I am not really sure if I should share but i will as I have trouble keeping secrets. I have lost a lot of weight and I have some pudge around my waiste that does not go away. I went to see a famous plastic surgeon. I had references from him from many good friends. I went to visit him at his office in Barra and got the cost of everything and all the details. He said it was going to cost 10k USD which is pretty high for Brazil but he is good. The problem I had is that I would need 3 weeks recovery time there and then not be able to really exercise for 2 months. I have an athletic even later this year that I have been training for and I really want to do it as I have worked hard for it. 2 months off is not possible right now. So, I may be back there in Dec and do this over my Xmas holiday. That is a good time to be in Brazil anyway. I wonder if sex is considered exercise after a tummy tuck? I really don't think so and I didn't ask questions I didn't want answers for.

Any pics to share? You know I am not into twinks anymore so I promise not to get a crush. hehe
