Eric, yr totally right, too. idk, I think I just get too much in my own head and I have learned how to feel and be confident in every single type of social space except ones where hotness is a crucial factor in how and with whom you interact.

my coworkers aren't worth it

my boss, a VP, just invited Ryan and I up to his 15-bedroom mansion in NH with 2 other gay couples from work for a weekend in June. he kayaks.

Oh. That kind of job. Take cash.

and like a 4 week juice cleanse with fresh, healthy foods and just the right amount of junk so i have that certain "glow" that one is supposed to have by a lake
I have shown a few people at work a very closely cropped photo of my latest tat work, which would otherwise require doffing the shirt.
― Eric H., Saturday, 2 May 2015 02:00 (nine years ago) link
Kayaking shirtless requires being in the sun, right? Pass.
I'm having a Facebook argument with our Kevin Bozelka re Cyndi Lauper's "When You Were Mine" vs Prince's. He says you can't dance to Lauper's.

i was just talking about dancing

i like prince. but now i want to hear "you should be mine" by janet. isn't that what it's called?
o you CAN be mine
― surm, Saturday, 2 May 2015 02:07 (nine years ago) link
prince's version is all new wavey, it doesn't have the funk. i think it's kind of a lame song honestly.
― carne asana (clouds), Saturday, 2 May 2015 03:22 (nine years ago) link
it's like todd rundgren doing "hello it's me". he could do those kinds of songs in his sleep.

I am all about "Private Joy" tho.
And, uncharacteristically enough, "Sexuality."
― Eric H., Saturday, 2 May 2015 04:18 (nine years ago) link
private joy is the best track on controversy; sexuality is great because all the social commentary stuff is otm. i'm over him now though, don't really give a shit if he releases another record or not bc he hasn't done anything worth hearing in over 20 years.

matt i was referring to kayaking
just so many scruff ppl's list of interests are "volleyball, kayaking, hiking, mountain climbing" oh yeah the mountains of chicago are beautiful ya great hiking spots for sure
― carne asana (clouds), Saturday, 2 May 2015 04:34 (nine years ago) link
they all translate to me "i have a job where i can afford to do these things, look at me" and so instant nope nope nope dnw
― carne asana (clouds), Saturday, 2 May 2015 04:35 (nine years ago) link
skiing, snowboarding also kind of a dullard guarantee here. "i am from california and my parents retired in park city"
― Mademoiselle Coiffures (mattresslessness), Saturday, 2 May 2015 04:42 (nine years ago) link
i have no reason to mistrust self-described hikers but you can literally walk from downtown to the top of a mountain in a day here so
― Mademoiselle Coiffures (mattresslessness), Saturday, 2 May 2015 04:44 (nine years ago) link
A whole group of people I wouldn't mind taking me into their friend-fold apparently collectively looked at my scruff profile tonight. Public joy.

Nobody's done anything worth hearing in over 20 years. (upon arriving in NYC on the Controversy tour, Prince went to the bus terminal men's room for recreational fun.)
goddaaamn, Eric.

"this guy who says he likes to take walks in the woods sure sounds like an asshole"
i mean what
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Saturday, 2 May 2015 15:00 (nine years ago) link
I haven't contributed to this discussion at all yet, but I don't judge anyone for liking kayaking or whatever--its just that my reaction when reading about the invite extended to sum by his boss was "ok, this has nothing to do with my life."
Not saying the trip wouldn't be pleasant (although I personally hate the sun), nor that I have anything against going shirtless around co-workers/other, richer, and, I'm assuming fitter, gay men (just let me get back into a gym routine first, please), but as clouds suggested, this is so far from resembling how my current economic status allows me to live that it is practically alien to me.
― The New Gay Sadness (cryptosicko), Saturday, 2 May 2015 15:07 (nine years ago) link
yeah, it's outside of my experiences too, which is why -- to me -- it sounds like a fine opportunity to try something new. as long as someone else is footing the bill, i mean.
idk maybe declaring your outdoor activities has a different quality when you live in an large urban center but i can assure you that less affluent people can kayak, too
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Saturday, 2 May 2015 15:15 (nine years ago) link
Oh, absolutely take the opportunity if it sounds in any way appealing to you, and especially if someone else is footing the bill.

wow i didn't know my boss would create controversy. i don't like kayaking or most outdoor sports, but not because they are for the rich, just because i don't like them. i love tennis though.
and for the record, he is an awesome guy. even though i can barely afford to do my laundry, the fact that he has [a lot of] money doesn't detract from that.
― surm, Saturday, 2 May 2015 15:51 (nine years ago) link
ok fine i like rich guys. THERE. i said it. I LIKE RICH MEN. as long as they're not assholes.
