We're done LOOKING, it's time for Larry Kramer's Lincoln to give GAY bedSPRINGs quite a beating in 2015

Oh. That kind of job. Take cash.

and a tan.

and a haircut

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.

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

prince's version is all new wavey, it doesn't have the funk. i think it's kind of a lame song honestly.

it's like todd rundgren doing "hello it's me". he could do those kinds of songs in his sleep.

also fuck outdoor status symbol sports. ugh.

golf? polo?

hunting humans w/ bow and arrow

I thought I was the only person who thought "When You Were Mine" is sub-subpar.

I am all about "Private Joy" tho.

And, uncharacteristically enough, "Sexuality."

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

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

skiing, snowboarding also kind of a dullard guarantee here. "i am from california and my parents retired in park city"

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

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.

I am all about "Private Joy" tho.

Me too. And then some.

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.

wait are we judging strangers for their outdoor recreational activities now?

"this guy who says he likes to take walks in the woods sure sounds like an asshole"

i mean what

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.

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

Oh, absolutely take the opportunity if it sounds in any way appealing to you, and especially if someone else is footing the bill.

p.s. i prefer bette bright's version the best

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.

ok fine i like rich guys. THERE. i said it. I LIKE RICH MEN. as long as they're not assholes.

Ry wants to bring pot caramels. I'm like you do what you need to do but I am NOT going to be stoned around my VP. i'll just get awkward as fuck and most likely never live it down.

obviously dosage matters but i find that edibles take the edge off my anxiety in unfamiliar situations much better than smoking, which can sometimes make me paranoid or self conscious. feed me an adult confection, though, and i'm all good

which reminds me that i need to do some baking. all the lavender almond cookies are gone but they were divine while they lasted

YUM

i just got some new hair product. i haven't had time to buy shampoo in weeks. i am excited to wash my hair. my life as you can tell is one long thrilling ride.

Nobody's done anything worth hearing in over 20 years.

is that why you don't watch movie?

*movies

no, it's why i don't listen to the music 12-year-old girls like.

My co-workers and I, like, don't even say "bye" when we leave the office.

wait are we judging strangers for their outdoor recreational activities now?

there's nothing inherently wrong w/ outdoor shit, i mean i bike every fucking day! it's my main mode of transportation! it's just that i see the same "kayaking, hiking, volleyball, rugby" bullshit over and over and it's like, read a fucking book once in yr life?

sorry i just don't understand when faggots became so normcore.

wow. ok.

i went to a may day rally today. it felt good to be around some lefty energy. i'm such a softie with the chants, i start to choke up, especially with the police / baltimore ones. the trans liberation movement speaker was totally inspiring.

It's hard to click on profiles that don't just thrust disco tits right out there front and center; many of those profiles are pretty hilariously preoccupied with intramurals, no doubt.
