Year in Partial Review

I hope you all had a good year! I for one am glad that it is over! I took 13 classes this year alone and managed to pull through. This last semester I received a GPA of 3.901 so I'm very happy to have that, not to mention this whole year behind me. :)

It was a very busy year, and productive. I moved off of campus, a wonderful experience, but I needed my own place. I meet a great group of friends and I'm glad that I got to meet them. Miss all my housing friends though!

I've been so busy with school that I neglected to do much writing outside of class, but over this break I hope to get started with my second book in my trilogy. It didn't work out that I could write the whole trilogy this year. But I hope to have most of it done by the end of next year. We'll see if I can do it!

I also totally failed my objective of blogging every week, but I had spurts of no internet and this entire Fall semester had no internet at home, so I rarely went online. I feel bad, because I haven't read anyone's blog for such a long time! Forgive me! :) But I think I might have internet this next semester so that's good news.

Well, take care everyone! I hope to blog more than I have!

September

It has been a while since I posted, I realize. The last bit of summer school was busy, both with work, papers, and moving. I also moved twice in three weeks, and I love my new place! The fall semester has started, and it looks like it will be a good, but tough semester.

A Monday's Thoughts

I had a rather interesting weekend. I got to spend two evenings hanging out with my guy, and some of his friends. While I enjoy the time I get to spend with him, however separated from him I am, is good. And sometimes it is awkward, like on Friday we all went to a science museum adult night, and he was way hyped up on caffeine and wasn't interacting very much with me. Not that I was trying very hard. Cramped spaces made for kids is not fun when you have a bunch of guys. Not sure what was going on then. After that we all played video games for a while. A little more fun, I admit.

The next day was a bit less awkward. This time it was video games first, and then food. The table conversation was definitely not my strong suit, but I think I got a good look at some of his personality. And I could almost swear on getting a lusty look. For whatever that is worth. Whew.

So what does this all mean? I have no idea, but I'm getting the idea that he's a bit reticent towards me, and perhaps that's because I am reticent towards him. I am shy, and even more so when I'm with someone I'm attracted to, which is both a grace and a curse. But I am going to try to be a bit more talkative around him. We'll see how this goes.

ABQ Pride

Ah, Pride season. Such a good time of year right? Well, it sure is fun seeing everyone out en masse! I got a lil bit sunburned on my arms, but all in the name of Pride. The parade was the best part, especially the Grannies. Gay old woman. So amazing!!

The festival itself was so-so. It could have been better, it was an awkward layout, and there wasn't enough events. Plenty of alcohol and dancing though! Next year, I hope is a little better, then I have no idea where I'll be for Pride 2010.

Happy Pride Season Everyone!

Moving is a Pain

I just moved back into my old apartment, thanks to crappy housing saying I have to move out. Anyways, I'm back, and settled in. I forgot how dry it is here in ABQ and now drinking a gallon of water a day doesn't seem like such a bad idea!

In other news, ABQ pride is next weekend, and I am excited to go! I haven't been to any other pride but Long Beach pride, so hopefully it will be a new and fun experience.

Take care!

PS I'm sure to whine about roommates soon enough.

California Weather

Hello!

I am enjoying my vacation very much! It nice not to have to do anything, but that will be changing once I get back to Albuquerque. Summer school, summer job, tons of not fun, but right now is recharge time! And cookies! It's baking weather!

The weather... Yeah. I flew out of ABQ and into Ontario, CA and the day I left it was cold and rain in New Mexico. California was 103. What a change! And now here in Cali, its down to about 62 and back in NM its 47. Whew! Who ordered the odd weather?

Have a great one!

Long Beach Pride

Hey Y'all!

I went to Long Beach Pride with my friend Eric, and it was fun! Always a good time to go to pride, no? Anyways, it was nice to see all the gays out and about! I'm glad that we didn't go until about 6:30, it was too hot to do anything earlier, and it was still light enough, but not hot! Whew!

After Pride, we went to West Hollywood to the Cantina, and we just had some fun! I don't get to go to very many gay bars/clubs in Albuquerque, so it was nice to get out! Anyways, my friend got hit on by a bunch of guys, and I was left all alone! *sigh* lol j/p I was too tired, and kinda cranky. I'm not used to be up so late out and about!

Happy week!

California Gay Marriage

Hello!

I am thrilled that California Supreme Court has declared the ban against gay marriages unconstitutional! This a  major victory for all civil rights. California is also one of the leading states in Supreme Court decisions so this bodes well for the rest of the nation! I sincerely hope that other states will find these same bans unconstitutional soon, and that our rights as citizens of the United States will be upheld.

So who's getting married now?

Moving Out

Hello!

I am officially done with this semester! This is an awesome feeling! I'm so excited that I've survived thus far. Tomorrow I move out of my room and then take off to Cali for a few weeks, then it's back to Albuquerque to take summer school. Hey, it gets me through this whole thing a lot easier, so don't be thinking I'm too nuts!

It is raining out today, and I love the rain. It's way too dry here in ABQ.

Welcome!

Hello all!

How is everyone doing? As of this moment, I'm finishing up my first year at the University of New Mexico, in Albuquerque, and I am excited that I made it this far! It should be downhill from here. I will be graduating next May, with a degree in English-Creative Writing, and a Minor in History.

I am a gay man, and I will hopefully be posting about my life and experiences as such. It shouldn't be too boring!!

I blog on myspace.com occasionally, so check that out if you have myspace, otherwise enjoy!
