cininnati after dark

Ok, I'm back! A lot has changed since my last entry. My iMac died and decided to go with a PC this time. I still use Mac at work, so I haven't totally gone to the "dark" side as co-workers refer to it. However I've noticed that I now no longer have the same issues here that I used to. I can read all the Help print ect... If you want to catch up on what I've been up to you can go here http://fun4bill.tripod.com/blog/

I've posted alot there that is basically my life since August. Boring by most standards, so you won't hurt my feelings by not visiting it.

Now onto what I'm doing back on here. I've decided to separate my 2 blogs into
1. Personal (http://fun4bill.tripod.com/blog/)
2. Politcal (Here)

I'm doing this because they have become very seperate things almost. Don't get me wrong as a gay man I'm still very political. However some things just don't mix. My sucking some guys dick after dinner doesn't really need to be intermingeled with my take on the election.

That said from here on I will try to separate the two when I can.

Enough of the introduction, let's get on with the whoring news mongers!

Well guess this will be my last blog at least on here. I've tried to find out how to do things on here and all I get are blank screens when I go into help, contact etc... So since I'd like to be able to do more with this than what I'm currently doing so long! Doubt anybody was really reading it anyway. If you were thanks.

OMG, I'm supposed to go to my mom's tomorrow night for dinner. Why oh why oh why o didn't I ever leave Ohio? Dinner at Mom's wouldn't be bad in itself. However with my sister now living there because she has no job and doesn't seem to be close to getting one or even looking it seems, this has now turned into a weekly excursion into hell. It's not enough that she's there but her kids also have to be there to show there love for a woman who has pretty much fucked up her life and is now trying to do the same to every living person she knows. I don't really like my nephews all that much. The older one (19), is in college and is slowly turning into his father (not one of my favorite people). The younger (16) is basically a cool kid, he just got caught up in a bad situation and is handling it the best he can, so guess I probably do love him.

Anyway it takes 3 hours and then I can leave so I'll live.

Work is well work is! The boss is out this week on vacation and I've only had to talk to him three times (what is up with people who go on vacation and still think they must run shit from the road?) I'm still really swamped and not just in the photo studio so life has gotten later and later. Jules, Pegita and I did get to have a great conversation about reality tv shows this afternoon. What the hell is going on? "Growing up Gotti"? huh? I should have this over plasticised womans problems. Tell the sons to stop with the eyebrow and hair highlighting and smack them! Doubt that I'll watch again, except it comes on after "Family Plots" which I like. How twisted is this show? Got home tonight and got to see an episode of "Things I hate About You" Hilarious. My question I guess is A&E was the "Arts & Entertainment" channel, so now it's what the "Awful & Excrutiating"?

Back to life.

I'm becoming less happy with the Kerry/Edwards ticket, but will still probably vote that way since we still need TO GET BUSH OUT. Just not happy with the Edwards thing about gay marriage. I'm not in a rush to get married, probably never will, but damn give me the choice I'm (and I can't believe I'm going to say this) as American and "gag" family oriented (ok, I can't say that with a straight face, but you know what I mean), and who's to person who get's to decide that? Huh? Huh?

Ok well I haven't had a chance to get all week yet so nothing else to add.

This is not a great post but man I feel like I need to get it off my chest. I was a total whore this past Monday. I took the day off and had made the decision to clean, wash car, etc... however I ended up puting a post up on a group site and well, I spent the rest of the day on my knees sucking off straight married men. I was totally depressed by the time I got to work on Tuesday. It showed evidentally because people mentioned my low energy level/why aren't you peppy level. I feel ashamed and yet I don't so can someone explain that to me. I usually don't feel bad after my whoring nights, so maybe it was the actually sending out the message that I was a whore (actually I disrepect whores since they charge money) and willing to take on anybody. I'm just waiting for someone to call me back (yes I gave out my number, ok so I am a stupid, dumb ass horny idiot), but yet I'd do them again.

I think it's from a long period of no really intense sex, the kind where they call or send out messages that they are trying to get a hold of you. Plus on top of that I'm swamped at work and have just gotten a totally not my job kind of job dumped on me. I'm not a just a photo coordinator I'm also a get these suck ass photos from some other person and make them ready for a web site kinda whore! It's gotten outta hand and I'm suddenly handling way more images than I ever thought I would. However my boss is totally impressed with the fact that I can do it and spend x numbers of hours (and I don't get overtime) and by god I get it done.

Stress = Slut who know's. I'm sure it has some horrible incident that happened years ago that scarred me. So far my therapist and I haven't found out the reason. God I just said that laughingly thinking that anyone else would get the sarcasm. I must go now. I'll be ok I get throught shit like this all the time thanks to my wonderful family. You don't want to know.

Wow, didn't realize it had been that long since my last entry. Does anybody really care? As I've started checking in on specific blogs over the last few months, I realized that there are only a handful that I read religiously (http://www.rebecky.com/weblog/, http://bobzyeruncle.com/) maybe a few others. So I figure no one is actualy waiting for my next post.

Of course the Democratic Convention has been going on recently. What can I say? I have to vote a specific way so that other things don't happen. Blah, blah, blah. I really hate having to vote for someone that I don't really care for just so that someone I truly dispise isn't re-elected. See the stress I'm under?

Ok so update on Cincinnati after dark. We are trying to get the hideous Article 12 repealed. For those that don't know about this lovely wonderful little law, and have been having serious problems with the current gay marriage issues. It is a fun little piece of legislation that was passed back in the me days of the 80's, that allows discrimination of "homosexuals" simply because we "chose" to be "homosexuals". We are (proudly I might add) the only place in North America where this wonderful expression on love/understanding exists legally on the books. Fun isn't it? Might I add that's it's also wonderful for business. However due to the lovely racial atmosphere in this most tollerant of cities, it has not been quite out there until recently.

We think that it will be voted out (my "glass half full not empty" optimism is coming out here), and in a few decades will just be a nasty rumour that people recall with a mixture of nostalgia and warm fuzziness.

Update on my friend Jack, he's back to his normal self. No additional amputation was needed, but he got new pretty legs for his trouble. He's now taking to wearing shorts (for the over all tan) and has been seen speeding up and down the streets flashing unsuspecting people. He's sweet so it all get's over looked. He's recently cooked up another plan (he's almost like Lucy in his quest to fuck up anything he can in the real world, which is why I love him). We had another episode of Simon Leis oops I mean censorship oops I mean self policing, yeah that's what I mean. Wherein a local Art Gallery sent out invetations to a show that featured the "torsos" of a man and woman, very dark, hints of things, but nothing remotely resembling obscene/risque. However the Post Office decided that they must send them in envelopes. Sweeeeet! So Jack in his radical little twisted mind decided to mail out different postcards that are not dirty (in most minds) but are somewhat erotic, to see if the Post Office would make him put them in envelopes. I told you he's devious.

Now on to my sad little world. Work, huh? I'm numb from the utter stupidity of the people I work with. I'm busy to say the least, in no small part due to the above mentioned stupidity. Why aren't people made to take a test before leaving college (actually high school) that will let the rest of us know how truly stupid you really are.

I've had some fun though. Julie and I went to the Hair Affair last Sunday. Fun for us, not so much for the wonderful hair styles that were paraded before us. However we got a wonderul bag full of sh...I mean "Product" and some coupons for hair cuts (why would I go someplace that I just spent an hour ripping on?). Much more fun was Saturday when we went to a warehouse sale for Design Within Reach (who's reach I have no idea). It was like a gay deli. You couldn't turn around without hitting one. So we finally sat down on one of the over priced bar stools and guy watched. She's a true sport she is. We had a blast and I was home by 11:00 a.m.

Julie and I are bonding right now. She's married and quite adorable/pretty. And I'm single and quite adorable/not so pretty. We are both going through wonderful times so that bond is a great and beautiful thing. No she's not my "fag hag", at least that what my boss tells me. Without going into the un-PC things we said, she's just not the "right" type. No my boss isn't gay, but...well actually he's my fag hag! He's got the best gaydar I've ever seen, gay or straight he can pick em out with almost uncanny ability. He seems to think it's from the fact that his father's side of the family is rampant with queens. Gotta love a man with that kinda background plus get's to review you every 6 months.

Oddly enough the sex life has been strangely busy. Go figure. Maybe it's because I'm advertising more than usual. It pays to advertise! Or maybe it just comes down to sluttishness. Either way I'm good with it.

Well it's the next day. Fun evening last night. Met a friend at Simons, he was late. I was just giving away something that he had come for when he showed up. We stayed for a couple of drinks and were thinking of leaving when suddenly there was a brawl in the bar. I don't know about anybody else but isn't there somewhere else you can do that? I don't enjoy seeing people punch each other and scream wonderful things at the other person. We ran out of there LOL.

From there we went to Hamburger Mary's. Much better. We stood and talked for it seems like hours (really took about an hour), he wanted to stay I wanted to venture on. So I left and went on to Pink Pyramid to talk to my other friend who works there. Bunch of lesbians there (not usual) so figured he was busy and left.

Walked down the street to Pipeline and pretty much stayed there for the rest of the night. Met some guys from Dayton who seemed to be having a good time. I enjoyed talking to them. One of them was really cute but dumb as shit. Luckily I can talk dumb and all went well. There was a really nice guy among them, we talked for awhile and then they went up to the 2nd floor (there are 4 floors including the roof, check it out if you are here, best overall bar in the city).

Got home about 1:00 am. It was pretty warm out so I walked home.

This morning got up at around 6:30 and finished watching Lost In Translation. Good movie! The 2nd movie frome Sofia Coppola, I loved the first "Virgin Suicides". she does a much better directorial job than her dad. I was confused that she didn't win the best director award at the Oscars. Granted I have never seen any of the Lord Of The Rings movies, so I can't really bitch about it. I couldn't get through the books and can't get through the movies.

Well I'll end here. I'm going to go see my friend Jack. He's in the hospital awaiting word if he's going to have to have more of his legs amputated. He sounds good, so I'm hopefull.

Well this is my first attempt at blogs. I've enjoyed so many others that I figured what the hell, might as well give it a shot. I'll be viewing and reviewing things going on in Cincinnati, mainly downtown as that's where I live.

First off I guess I should tell you a little about myself I'm a gay male, 43 years old, currently single (and planning to stay that way thank you). I work in an advertising department of a fairly large merchandising company. Few would know it unless you are in the hotel, restaraunt, or supermarket business. I handle all of the photo co-ordination. Sounds glamarous I know, but there are so many ugly things that go into it I won't mention them. Basically I make sure that everything gets put together and made pretty when it gets it's little picture taken. Then I have to do lots of really nasty stuff that makes my life a living hell to make sure that the pictures get ready for our catalog and also our web site.

After that I go home and relax. I like to read (alot) and also love movies, some would call me a film buff but I'm not about labels so I like to think of it as a hobby.

Now on to the name of the blog cinciafterdark. It's the reason that I moved downtown from a small little place outside of Cincinnati. I love being out after dark, be it walking around, cruising, meeting friends, doesn't matter I'm pretty much of a lover of after hours. Sometimes I take along the camera and snap a few interesting things.

I'll try to keep this as current as possible but, I do have a full schedual so time permiting I'll do my best.

Hope I haven't bored anyone to tears. I'll try to put my pics up as they come along. If you have questions or just want to meet up sometime let me know, love to show off the uh...not usually seen part of Cincinnati.
