I have finally found the courage and motivation to take up writing again. I see this posting of my innermost thoughts as a cathartic way of dealing with the world, a release valve for when I want to blow off steam, a space for my socio-political rantings against Republicans and also, for those that know OF me to actually get to know me. Thoughts, comments and suggestions are always welcome ... lets do this!

NYC Pride 2008

Pride this year in New York was a lot of things! The pics will come when I can motivate
my lazy ass to download the pictures from my camera and get the appropriate releases from
those involved.

A few highlights:

1) The LGB NALFO convention at Krash Friday night and round of sorority calls reverberating
over the music. I won best imitation and longest duration of the Sigma Lambda Upsilon call.

2) Seeing my arch-nemesis and hiding behind Miguel before I was spotted anyway and kicking myself for being momentarily (a NANO second) happy to see him.

3) The Greek "ice-breaker" afterwards at the dorms at NYU ;)

4) "You got lube, right?" *Smack my head*

5) Running the OOONLY P4 with my Hermano.

6) The make-shift tent.

7) Realizing I had out-grown Escuelita's sometime at the turn of the millenium. I still
tipped the stripper and felt "it". (Just to make sure I had out-grown it).

8) Bobby voguing his FUCKIN' ASS OFF at Mr. Black's and being the epitome of
absolute FOOLISHNESS!

9) Running back and forth across Manhattan lugging bags with Melvin .

10) Another awesome Pride Parade (though in the rain).

11) "I am not responsible for your emotions, GGRRRRL!". Thank you Bobby for
making me realize I am not the only one that feels this way!

12) Flirting with the creepy old guys to get a free drink but then realizing they had
already closed their tab. I need more lessons from Bobby. I'm going to practice clearing throat
loudly.

13) Actually meeting a NICE bouncer at Krash.

14) Incredible Hulk and Red Devil.

15) Finally remembering who Maurice was. He was a great sport and didn't hold it against
me. Thanks for the honey roasted peanuts!

16) Medium Pinkberry with mango, strawberries and pineapple.

17) Falling out on a bus at 4am and sleeping uncomfortably for 4 hours then going right to work.

All in all it was a great time and can't wait to do it again!
