Well, it appears that once again I have not made my intentions clear when contacting a company for event information.

I would like to plan a wine tasting event that would utilize Girl Scout cookies as  a pairing feature. But instead of saying just that - I contacted the wine company and rambled on and on about how great both their wine and Girl Scout cookies were - and wouldn't it be great to merge the two and it would be great a promotional opportunity for both their wine company and for Girl Scouts. That's just as clear as mud, right?

So they company responded and thanked me for my inquiry but said that they were unable to accommodate my request because of federal regulations that prohibit serving alcohol to minors.

They thought I wanted to get a bunch of Girl Scouts drunk and steal their cookies!!!

I responded today to clear up the confusion and suggested a phone conversation. We'll see how far I get. 

Alright, you've seen me post a lot about Gay Day (coming up this Saturday, be there). And the truth is, it's a big deal to me. I know it's a holiday I made up - and I'm unsure if other people actually celebrate the day that they came out of the closet - but I do. And I really like it. I don't really get excited for my birthday - but I get really excited for this.

And this year with it being the 10th Anniversary - I wanted to do something bigger than I have done for Gay Days past. So I have been planning this cabaret show with some friends for a few months now - and I'm extremely excited about it.


So this next sentence is really hard to type. 

I think I'm getting SICK!

I have a scratchy throat - I did nothing but sleep yesterday - I think my glands are swollen (dirty, the ones in my neck!) - and I just feel tired. (of course, it's Monday morning - so that could have something to do with it too). But I seriously (honestly and truly)  CANNOT be sick. I can't. I won't let it happen. 

So I'm not. 

So there. 

Alright, bear with me here - I'm still trying to find the perfect "Oh that picture, no I didn't take it myself." angle - and so far I'm failing.

Not that taking pictures of yourself is horrible or anything - but I don't want every picture on this website to be a self-portrait. I'd like to be able to look at a few of the pictures on here and say something like: 

  

But, I won't resort to taking a picture in the mirror of my bathroom...

And - is it just me or does this shirt color totally match my eye color? 

I was actually going to list a few more examples (six other examples, to be exact) - but this post is narcissistic enough. Those will have to wait for another day. 

Here is another couple of pictures and the video of my skydiving trip on Sunday.

Now a little backstory – the instructor and my friend John had been talking about Montreal – and when I think Montreal, I think of my favorite Canadian: Celine Dion. So I dedicated my jump to her. Immediately following that statement, I realized I would survive the fall – not because of the Power of Celine Dion (which is quite great in its own right) – but because I knew I would live to be ridiculed for actually dedicating the jump to her and then justifying it by saying “She might watch it… who knows.”

So Celine, since I know you are watching – because you have nothing better to do with your time than read a blog about finding a gay boyfriend – this jump is dedicated to you.

I did it! I went skydiving!!!

Here are the pictures to prove it!

A video will be uploaded soon - but here's just a few pics from the fall.

For this site to be fair, I can't just post the pictures where I look fabulous - because there are some pictures out there where I look less than attractive. This is one of those pictures. 

I went out with some friends last night - and LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem started playing. I decided to do the shuffle since I watched their "how to" video... and then this picture happened. 

Here's the video if you'd like to learn how to dance and look this good. 

A teeny-tiny lizard somehow found his way into my kitchen - and I had to figure out how to safely release him back into the wild. 

Today was another workout failure day - not because something happened during a workout - but because I actually failed to do it completely. 

I set my alarm early to get up and go to the gym - and then when the alarm went off, I just reset it for the normal time. And the scary thing is that I don't even really remember doing it - so my excuse today is that I need more sleep so that when my alarm does go off early, I actually wake up.

That's a justifiable excuse, right? 

And with that, I'll grab a sausage McGriddle on my way to work - I love productive days. 

So I have sad news on all fronts. I had to spend nearly $500 on my car today. And that sucks.

But - I was also going to upload the video I took of the Hairspray Sing-Along Flashmob - but can't get it to work and/or upload onto YouTube... so that won't be appearing on my blog either. 

HOWEVER - the video I posted before is much better. So I'm glad I have that. 

I have to take my car in this morning to get the oil changed - and while an oil change is very simple and routine, I always get extremely nervous to take my car in for anything.


Here's a little video from last December explaining why.

(PS - I was growing that awesome mustache for Movember... just in case you were wondering.)
