Today, I had brunch with Sherri (I love brunches). I had a breakfast burrito (I love breakfast burritos). 

And then we went and saw a production of "tick, tick... BOOM!" (the musical by Jonathan Larson). And it was ok. I'm not going to say it is/was my favorite musical - but it was nice. The supporting actor & actress were great. The lead was a little intense. But it was nice. (I love musicals). 

After that, I went to West Hollywood for dinner and a movie - with a guy - it wasn't a date - but I told him I would blog about it as if it was... We had dinner at Marix (I love margaritas). and then we went back to his place to watch the movie "Tangled" because I had never seen it - and it's a musical, and why not just make it a day of musicals and mexican food, right?

This week, I'm going to do something different - I'm going to devote 20 minutes a day to organizing my room. Here's another not-so-fun fact about me - my room is a little on the messy side - not because I like it that way, just because I'm not the most organized. But this week - I change that. This week, I am going to get my room in order - 20 minutes at a time. 

I love rainy days! I seriously love them!

Living in Los Angeles, though, they remain relatively rare - so when they happen it's always newsworthy - and it always receives the caption "STORM WATCH" - I love it.

I will be on a plane to Nebraska in less than 24 hours. I'm heading back for the Greeley Irish Festival. It's a big deal for the village in the middle of the state. This is the 5th Annual Irish Festival - so it's an even bigger deal. 

I'm excited to see my family - and meet my newest little nephew. I'm also excited to go golfing. I may not be very good - but I love going golfing. 

I'll be sure to take pictures - it's time I updated the photo gallery anyway.

Tonight I went to an event in WeHo for the USC Law School LGBT Organization amazingly named "OutLaw." 

While the event wasn't a success in terms of me finding a member of the 122 - it was great to be in a room full of incredibly bright people who will be (or hopefully be) a driving force in the future of the LGBT community. 

Of course, not I have Whitney Houston stuck in my head... "I believe that children are our future..." 

Regardless - it as a very optimistic evening. And it was at Fiesta Cantina - and here's a little secret  - I rarely turn down an opportunity to have a margarita. (Rocks, No Salt.)

("Rocks, No Salt" is TOTALLY going to be the name of the gay boy band super group I'm forming with Lance Bass, Ricky Martin, Adam Lambert and Sam Sparro.) ((JK - I don't know any of those guys, but if I did, we'd totally start a gay boy band super group.))  

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. 

Last night, I was having trouble falling asleep. I don't think it was like a panic attack or anything - but I just kept thinking "There has to be something more." I felt very unproductive... in life... (so dramatic). 

So I grabbed a notebook and wrote a few goals down - and although some may seem pretentious - just bear with me, ok?

Here's what I wrote: 

As I enter into my 29th year, I would like to focus on: 
 - leaving a mark (in life, but also a tattoo might be cool)
 - bettering myself (mentally, physically, etc.) 
 - bettering my community
 - staying in touch 
 - family
 - de-cluttering (in all aspects of my life)

And there you have it - my goals for the next 15 months. 

OH MY WORD - there's only ONE MONTH LEFT until GAY DAY TEN!!!

I'm so excited!!!!

Save the Date - October 1 - the party will be in Hollywood. The flyer is coming soon!

AHHH!!!!

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 talked to my sister on the phone tonight - and we started talking about her oldest son (who is 5 years old). And apparently, he's a huge Star Wars fan now. And I wanted so badly to rub it in her face how much she made fun of me for being a huge nerd when we were younger - and now she has to research all the aspects of nerddom to foster this new phase in her son's life. I find it very funny.

Anyway - to celebrate I watched four episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise tonight. (SUCH an exciting life I lead...)
