Mormon Boys

I guess there is some kind of LDS office around here, and I see Mormon boys quite often. The other day I saw two Mormon boys up close as I was driving home, and they were HOT. They looked about 18. I wonder if these sex deprived boys were out promoting their new 2008 calendar?

All the Lost Souls

I bought James Blunt's newest (second) album a few days ago - All the Lost Souls, and I've been listening to it on my computer and in my car. It is GREAT just like his first album! The other day when I got to work, I was only half way through the song "Carry You Home," but I couldn't get out of the car until the song was over. His voice is so sexy! I love James! I would literally melt if he sings to me in person.

The Boyfriend

I started this blog envisioning that I would be talking a lot about myself. Instead, I've been talking mostly about hot guys I see here and there, with the best interests of my 3 blog readers in mind. Now might be a good time to get into some personal stuff... Feel free to change the channel if you like as this is about to get boring.

There is this guy that I met a long time ago. Let's call him The Boyfriend. Here's the story...

It was April of 2002. I was 19 years old and still a sophomore in college. PUT DOWN YOUR FINGERS AND STOP COUNTING. At the time, I had known this guy (Guy A) from a class we took together for about a year, and I had a small crush on him. I believed he also had the same feelings towards me. We talked about guys all the time on AIM. One night, out of nowhere, he told me on AIM that he is going on a date. It made me sad and wanted to whore around talk to someone. Where's a better place than gay.com that you can be a total whore anonymously find some quality men?

So I logged on and began chatting. I can't remember if I talked to Guy B first or Guy B talked to me first. Anyway, we enjoyed our chat. We then started chatting on AIM, and then talking on the phone. After a few weeks, I just really liked Guy B! He was very fun to chat with and had a very nice voice on the phone. We exchanged pictures as well, and we both liked what we saw. At around the same time, Guy A told me that the date didn't go very well and he didn't know if he wanted to go on more dates with that guy. However, he never really said if he liked me or anything. I wasn't sure how he felt any more, and I was too scared to ask.

Guy B and I decided to meet up in person. We picked a place half way between us that had a movie theater, some shops and restaurants. I remember I was wearing my triple five soul jacket. We met up in early afternoon, and he didn't have lunch yet, so we walked next door to In-N-Out to eat. After we were done eating, there's a little bit of time until our movie started, so we got into his car and talked. I asked him what his custom license plate meant, and we just talked about random things.

The movie we agreed on seeing was Changing Lanes, starring Ben Affleck and Samuel Jackson. I CANNOT remember what it's about now. I think it was pretty bad. But I do remember that we held hands during the entire movie. After the dreadful movie finally finished, we went to Barnes and Noble to check out the gay magazines. We shared the cute guys we saw on the magazines we flipped through. When we were done there, we got into his car again and talked some more. I remember we fogged up the windows of his car. In case you are wondering if we were doing what Jack and Rose were doing in that carriage, the answer is NO. It was just a cold night, and we were only talking! Before we could lose each other in the thickening fog, we called it a night. He gave me the tightest hug I can remember. He told me as we were hugging that he was really glad to meet and hang out with me. I told him I felt the same.

That's all. I got back into my car and headed home. One of us called the other to make sure we both got home safely that night. As you probably have guessed, Guy B turned out to be The Boyfriend. Guy A had his chance. Can you believe it? Five and a half years later, and we are still together. Gee! I got settled down before I could go out and explore the gay world. I didn't have a chance to go to gay clubs, grope cute guys' packages, and have one night stands. (This is what gay guys do, right?). I fell for The Boyfriend before it was even legal for me to drink, for Christ's sake. This is what my face looks like when I think about this sometimes:
Now jokes aside, I am really glad to have met him. He is a very nice guy and tolerates my childish behaviors, and most importantly, he takes out the trash. Isn't he a keeper? :-)

Do you MySpace people?

This is going to be a short post.

I've enabled anonymous comments on this blog. I had no idea that it was turned off. It will be great to see what you guys think, so post those comments!

Do you look up your friends, coworkers, clients or customers on MySpace or other social networking sites? I do. I like to look up clients that I work with, to see what they have to say about themselves on their MySpace profiles. I found some gay clients, too (oops). I learn a lesson from all of this, which is to never use my real name in my profile. Otherwise people would be able to look me up, and I definitely don't want them to see what I have to say on my profile. Not that I have anything to hide, of course.

Some MySpace hotties... I feel like a creepy old man, clicking through profiles and saving hot guys' pictures... but what the heck.

Seriously Sleep Deprived...

I am seriously sleep deprived. In the middle of the night, I woke up and couldn't fall back to sleep. I got up, thinking that it is already around 5 AM. I can wake up at 5 AM. No problem. It turned out it was only 3 AM. I am the type of guys who won't just lay there trying to fall back to sleep. If I am awake, I need to get up and become productive.

So I did get up. I turned on my computer, checked my emails, read a bunch of blogs, check the pre-market news, went on a few sites and was sucked...



(gulping down some water)



into buying a new pair of sunglasses. This is a dangerous life style, I must say. If I keep this up, I will be money deprived, too.

Now it's almost 6, and I am finally feeling a little tired, but I can't go back to bed now because I wouldn't be able to get up on time to get to work. Off to reading Harry Potter 7 I go (no spoilers please).

Happy Chinese Moon Festival!

From About.com:

The Chinese Moon Festival is on the 15th of the 8th lunar month. It's also known as the Mid-autumn Festival. Chinese culture is deeply imbedded in traditional festivals. Just like Christmas and Thanksgiving in the West, the Moon Festival is one of the most important traditional events for the Chinese.

This year, the holiday is 9/25. I remember when I was little, we would get together with uncles and aunts and their kids during this Chinese holiday. The kids would light fireworks and make BBQ. It is a more family-oriented traditional holiday, but we do get the day off. The youngsters don't really care about what it means, as long as they don't go to school. To me, it's really not a big deal any more. I don't get this day off in the U.S., and I don't enjoy playing with fireworks, so the only way I am going to celebrate it is to observe the full moon and enjoy the serenity and tranquility that this sight brings....

A&F Greeters

Gosh!

Every time I go to the mall now, there are always greeters at Abercrombie and Fitch stores. Some of them are even naked (the guys only, of course, but that's all that matters, right?). Every time I walk into their store, I feel that my heart beats faster and my temperature rises. I must say, Abercrombie is a very (if not the most) successful clothing company. SEX SELLS! We all know this, but Abercrombie is the first one that believes their models can efficiently show off their clothes, if they don't wear them. What a great strategy! Many of us, myself included, dream to look like one of their models if we wear their clothes. (Note: I am not saying I want to look white because you might think that they mostly use Caucasian models. I am referring to their hotness in general and muscular bodies.)
Abercrombie first attracted attention when they began publishing catalogs with hot models in them. Most of them are half naked. Bruce Weber was one of the photographers that shot the issue with the famous Carlson twins in it. Of course, with great popularity comes great criticism (think about Britney Spears). The conservatives and the media (Wait! They are the same thing!) began questioning whether these catalogs were appropriate and whether our kids should see them. Although these catalogs were shrink wrapped and marked with a sticker saying nobody under 18 could purchase them, the media was powerful enough to bring some negativity to this brand. However, this didn't stop teens and adults from buying their clothes. This actually generated a lot of publicity for them.
And then, Abercrombie caused some more stirs. People began seeings these "humor t-shirts" with funny or sexually-provocative lines like "I have a long one." The most controversial one had to be the shirt that said "Two Wongs Can Make It White." I get it that they tried to be funny, but you must be crazy to make a public racist joke, IN THE UNITED STATES! I know there is still a lot of racism going on in this country today, but people just don't make it public. A lot of people think less of people of other races. It's not because they feel superior over people of a difference race. It's just that a lot of us see people of other races do strange things, and they don't want to spend time to understand why. Since the skin color is the most obvious trait you see on those people, it's easy (and probably natural) to relate the strange behavior to the people of that race. Acting violently upon the disagreement or disapproval of other people's "strange" behaviors makes you a racist. Thinking it silently in your brain doesn't, and this is what a lot of us still do today. I have to admit. Even I claim to treat people of difference races equally and I am definitely not a racist, I still relate certain behaviors to people of different races. I can only say that it's purely natural. However, when you publicize this information (like how Abercrombie prints these messages on their t-shirts), you are doomed to get criticized. They eventually got sued by a group of people. Was this just a joke that people didn't get, or was it an intentional publicity stunt?
I have to say that I once hated Abercrombie for a while because of the joke they made, but I got over it. I don't buy their "humor tees" anyway. I think they are a waste of money. I do like their dress shirts and polo shirts. They do have good quality and look trendy. Honestly!
Going back to the topic of this blog entry... There are more and more male models standing by the entrances of their stores and greeting their customers. They used to only do this around Christmas for charity (You can take pictures with them for a small fee, and they donate the money to charity organizations), but nowadays it seems like they do it all the time, or at least when I go. These evil models emit brainwashing wavelengths "BUY OUR CLOTHES, AND YOU WILL LOOK HOT LIKE ME." And it works.

I found the pictures used in this entry from different sources on the Internet. As you can see, Abercrombie has spread these evil models across the United States. Not that I am complaining. Any of these evil doers can seize control of my brain and body any time they want. More and more stores are being opened in other countries. I can only see Abercrombie and Fitch getting more and more successful in the near future. So when you walk into a store to check out their hot models and clothes, don't forget to check out their stocks!

Gay Days

Who is going to Gay Days at Disneyland this year (in two weeks)? This is going to be my first time. I cannot wait to stand in long lines for the rides!!! Note to myself: Need to work out more and look the best-est on that day!

"Gay Days Anaheim: the unofficial Gay Days at Disneyland! -- started in 1998, after Disneyland canceled the gay private nighttime parties they used to do. The first event began with an email chain, brought in about 2,500 people to Disneyland. In 2006, nearly 30,000 people in the LGBT community turned the Happiest Place on Earth into the Gayest!

The event always happens the first weekend in October (October 5 - 7 this year!). Gay Days Anaheim is a "mix in," meaning gay people and straight people mingle together; the park is open to the general public. And we wear RED shirts to identify one another and show our numbers. Remember, this event isn't sponsored by Disney so if you call Disneyland asking for information about Gay Days, they will tell you that this is not a Disney event."

Here are some pictures taken in 2006 (source: http://www.gaydaysanaheim.com)

Good morning, Friday!

Dennis Oh (Dennis Joseph O'Neil)

Here is a guy that's a "product" of interracial dating:

Dennis Joseph O'Neil: He was born in 1981 to a Korean mother and a former American GI father. He is known in South Korea as Dennis Oh. I think we should definitely encourage interracial dating!

Interracial Dating

Have you dated someone who's not the same race as you? It's fairly uncommon to see people who are not Asian in Taiwan, except in big cities like Taipei. There is a group of Taiwanese guys who like and probably only date Caucasian men. Since Caucasian men are a scarcity in Taiwan, they are very popular (the fit, good-looking ones at least). It's a tough competition! Caucasian men are perceived as sexy, romantic, hung, and good in bed. Perhaps due to the fact that Caucasian men are "worshiped" in a way by a group of people in Taiwan, they are also perceived as playful and "just in it for the sex." I can't say that none of the Asians who seek after Caucasian males are looking for true love, either. Many of them are curious (about the bodies from foreign lands) and are just in it for the sex as well. I am just talking about what I think here. There are no statistics that I can use to back up my theories.

Here in the U.S., there are many races and ethnicities. It makes interracial dating much more common, in both the heterosexual and LGBT communities. I myself have not dated any Taiwanese boys, or any Asian even. I've only dated three guys in my life and none of them were Asian. They are all of different races as well. I cannot say that I don't like "my own people." I do think that a lot of Taiwanese boys and Asian men in general are attractive, but it just so happened that I didn't get to meet them! I see a lot of straight couples with a white man and an Asian woman. It seems like Asian women are appealing to a lot of white men. I don't think it's the same for Asian guys, though. I watched two YouTube videos over at Breaking Barriers (click here to watch them), and they were about Asian guys liking Caucasian men and getting turned down because Asian guys are "at the bottom of the sexual hierarchy" (i.e. sexually unattractive). I don't know how old the videos were and again, and I don't have statistics to back me up, but I just don't see many straight couples with a white woman and an Asian man, not to mention gay couples with an Asian and someone else of a different race. Why????? Are Asian men really unattractive to people of other races? I NEED TO KNOW!

Massage

Have you ever gotten a massage before? No, I am not referring to the ones you may have received from your lovers or your unwilling relatives. I am talking about real professional massages done by licensed masseurs/masseuses. I LOVE getting massages. I've only been lucky (and rich) enough to have a few in my life, and half of those were paid with gift cards. If these services weren't so expensive, I would get one every week to relieve my tension. My lower back has been hurting recently and I really need another massage soon!

I've been to high-end spas (a chain in California) and some smaller spas, and I've received treatments from both men and women. I must say and I hope that I don't sound prejudiced by this: I like male therapists better. They just have stronger hands, and I like being treated roughly in a massage. A massage just doesn't feel good if you don't feel some pain. I am not saying this because I am gay and I hope to get some "happy ending" during my massage. In fact, I've never gotten a happy ending before, and it would have disgusted me anyway.

Have you been to a spa or received a massage before? What was your experience like? Something like this I hope?

Weekend

I went out of town for the weekend. Man! People in L.A. can't drive! It's the weekend and it seemed like everyone was still in a hurry. This really pisses me off. I always try not to get road rage (bad for my health, and it doesn't solve any problem), but it really makes me angry to see people driving irresponsibly. If they want to enjoy the thrill of the speed or just simply want to be an idiot, they can do so when nobody is around. Treating other people's lives like nothing is very irresponsible and selfish.

Thankfully, LA drivers aren't as hot as these guys. Otherwise even I will become one of those distracted bad drivers. I think of these pictures as rewards for myself for driving safely and making it home.




Sorry. I just had to complain about this. Hopefully I can get back on my schedule to update this blog regularly.
