Before I'd gotten to sleep I'd heard Jon Stewart on the television in the living room say that Barack Obama was projected to have won the POTUS election, but then before 1:00a I woke up and heard Obama's acceptance speech on the television in the living room while I laid in bed.
11/8/12
Ever since the beginning of the year I've envisioned an improved, updated information system at work and working with people to make it happen was gratifying but then people deviate from my vision and it's so disheartening.
11/9/12
Amanda Palmer released her new music video "Do It With A Rockstar" which got me so excited for so many reasons.
11/10/12
The Amanda Palmer concert lived up to expectations, but what seemed more important was that I met a guy named Patrick and we went to lunch, did some grocery shopping and errands, then went back to his place and fucked which was so pure and magical and unplanned.
11/11/12
Went to Urban Village Church in the morning and Julian whom I met in 1999 and hadn't seen for many years happened to be there.
11/12/12
Someone I didn't know came up to me and said, "You've lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you," and I said, "Thank you. You look completely different too, so different I didn't even recognize you. Could you remind me of your name?", it was Albert, then because I'm super smooth like that, I said, "I'd like to think I remember attractive guys such as yourself."
11/13/12
The 30-day bikram challenge is rough.
11/14/12
I got up in the morning and it was deja-vu catching the same bus with the exact same people sitting in the exact same places and arriving at the studio the exact same time as the day before.
11/15/12
I became a financeer via Lendsquare for Pie Hole pizza place to open a second location across the street from where I live, where Clarks On Clark used to be.
11/16/12
The cast of Rupauls Drag Race season 5 was being officially announced one member at a time through various social media challenges and it got me so worked up.
11/17/12
I made some bad decisions, but it could've been worse, plus it was just one day.
11/18/12
Got up at 3:30 and was non-stop doing stuff until midnight, most notably during my lunch date with Patrick he told me that he'd been the president of the Log Cabin Republicans.
11/19/12
Four hours of sleep, then bikram and work, then Patrick and I went to the homeless youth art show then out a couple places (one of which was Sofo where Sara informed me of Liza's pregnancy!!!) before having more sex, and I got back home at midnight again.
11/20/12
Did bikram after work then went to Honky Tonk BBQ in Pilsen with Sheri, and got back home at midnight again.
11/21/12
When I'd enjoyed the Charlie Brown Halloween Special so much, they'd advertised the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special, so I rushed home from bikram to see it but it just wasn't the same watching it with Dan while he was explaining how he thinks the pyramids were made.
11/22/12
Relaxed most of the day watching television.
11/23/12
Sons Of Anarchy is the best television show to watch while quipping Rocky-Horror / MST3000 style, like, when I'm watching SOA, I really can not stop myself, but Tiffany and I had a lot of fun with it.
11/24/12
Watched the old movie Breakfast At Tiffanys for the first time and it blew my mind.
11/25/12
I don't know the details yet, but Susan, Sean, and Phin are leaving the Lakeview Church Of Christ next month. :(
11/26/12
A guy gave me an amazing handjob using some vibrators, and it really blew my mind.
11/27/12
I put up the Christmas tree at work.
11/28/12
Productive day: bikram (wearing a Speedo for the first time) was good, worked on several new projects at work, did some laundry.
11/29/12
The key-card that I got on 7/31/12 only worked for a couple months and then on 10/23 I e-mailed the key-card contact person, Lisa, about it and never heard anything back so I sent one follow-up e-mail and still never heard back about it so I've liked Lisa less and less ever since so when she asked if I could bring her printouts off the printer after mine were done, not only did I not bring them to her but I also felt the need to leave a post-it note on her printouts letting her know the reason why which is that I'm upset about not having a key-card, but later I thought about how that was a bratty thing to do and apologized.
11/30/12
We just decided to pretend like the weekly reports are also the monthly reports, because people seem not to remember how things have been done.
12/1/12
The skin on my penis hurt, but I think it was just from jerking and rubbing it raw so much.
12/2/12
I sat and had tea with Jon until 10 or so, but he said the reason he asked me to sit and have tea with him was not because of any recent hostilities.
12/3/12
Got my new key-card, which proves that acting like a brat does work, so yay me!
12/4/12
In previous years at work, we've sometimes gotten together to decide as a group who would be off which days around Christmas and I've never ever taken any time off work around Christmas, except I told everyone last year that this would be my year to take time off around Christmas (then I visited Oklahoma in July and changed my mind about going there during Christmas and was planning on doing the weekthun instead, but the people at work didn't need to know that) but then it was decided that I would have to take our floating holiday on Christmas Eve instead of New Years Eve like always so that would interfere with my weekthun plan and I rashly bought airplane tickets to Oklahoma.
12/5/12
I got lots of stuff to do at work all at once and it made me feel great and powerful.
12/6/12
For me strange days are routine and routine days are strange, and maybe it's just one of those things when there are lots of things going on in my life that I can't mentally emotionally handle it all so I project it onto something in the media or pop culture, but the one thing I've been most excited about all week is "Gangnam Style" by Psy reaching one billion views on Youtube (I know I'm late to the "Gangnam Style" party, I've seen it before but it never made that much of an impression so this week it's been my obsessive addictive jam, and it crossed 900,000,000).
12/7/12
I texted Sheri saying I didn't feel well which really just meant I felt like staying home and doing my regular Friday night thing instead of going out with her, which is so lame of me, I know.
12/8/12
Completing the 30-day bikram challenge, that's 30 sessions of bikram in 30 consecutive calendar days, is a huge accomplishment for me.
12/9/12
I was at Township for Jeffis's 44th birthday and people passed around a chocolate egg and everyone took a bite and it looked chocolatey delicious but I didn't realize it had marijuana in it until after I already took a bite, so even though I wasn't prepared to get high on marijuana that night I did but it turned out okay because I wasn't that high.
12/10/12
Alana Thompson (Honey Boo Boo)'s official Facebook posted a phone number saying that Lee Thompson (Uncle Poodle) is single now, which is obviously a prank, but I called the phone number less than one minute after it was posted and someone answered and there were little girls screaming in the background then the man who answered yelled profanities and hung up so I truly do believe that it really was Lee with his nieces in the background which is exciting yet frustrating for me but I'm sure it is for him too.
12/11/12
Lots of feelings about the last Sex-Positive Film Series.
12/12/12
There was an incident on the Clark bus when I got off, it was crowded and this woman had no reason to get up and go stand by the door, but in my mind I labeled her "privelaged princess pushy asshole" etc. which was unfair because I never met her yet the fact remains that she had no reason to get up on a crowded bus and go stand by the door.
12/13/12
Heaven / Hell, suicidal to ecstatic, doing bikram and going out to Hydrate to see Mimi Imfurst were both Heaven.
12/14/12
I actually did not stay out very late, but got up hungover and went into work and felt absolutely awful suicidal Hell again but work was busy and I felt better after a couple hours then after work I went to Derrick & Michael's (guys I met at Hydrate the night before) party.
12/15/12
I cooked stuff and went to Lisa & Udi's dinner party where I was absolutely enthralled in conversation about history, economics, politics, etc.
12/16/12
I was really into the Lakeview Church Of Christ for a minute there, and then in the evening at Queer Dharma I turned out to be the one in charge which was unexpected but I acted normal and everything turned out great.
12/17/12
Jon and I went to the orchestra, and while we were there made friends with a 25 year-old from China named Shengtian.
12/18/12
Greatly enjoyed Homolatte with Julian (whom I recently reconnected with on November 11) and Lars and Scott, and both performers, Jarrett Neal and Jakob Paul.
12/19/12
Attended my first "open circle" at the Mankind Project.
12/20/12
Was fascinated reading Erik Rhodes Tumblr.
12/21/12
"Gangnam Style" reaced 1,000,000,000 views on Youtube.
12/22/12
I rented the movie Magic Mike from Specialty Video and it made me wish I were het so I thought I'd go out to a str8 club but I just ended up relaxing at Kopi drinking absinthe.
12/23/12
First thing in the morning I wrote out a list of things to do and I accomplished the most important tasks on the list, except the computers at the library were closed for renovations which was annoying.
12/24/12
Travel day, home to Chicago's O'hare airport to Oklahoma City's Will Rogers airport to meet Bryan, Darla, Matthew, and Kathryn in their van to drive to Guymon to meet our parents.
12/25/12
My first family Christmas since I've been an adult, and there was lots of family there.
12/26/12
Not very many people showed up at the Guymon Church Of Christ Wednesday evening worship, but I led a song.
12/27/12
Ate breakfast with my 3rd-cousin Josh and lunch with Amada, and Glen took Matthew and I to his regular afternoon coffee.
12/28/12
The ones who'd traveled from Oklahoma City to Guymon went back the same way, then I checked into a hotel and met up with Bruce.
12/29/12
The hotel I was staying at is known for gay men having promiscuous sex, so that was mainly what I did all day besides taking a break from that and spending time with Bruce.
12/30/12
Flew from Oklahoma City airport back to Chicago, went to The Glenwood with the Queer Dharma people.
12/31/12
The office at work closed early, and I attended the 10:30p bikram session at the Lincoln Park studio.
1/1/13
Kind of the whole highlight of my day was seeing Sheri naked in the bathtub.
1/2/13
Signed up for the class Anatomy For Yoga Teachers at Moksha yoga studio.
1/3/13
Even though there had been advantages to the outage at work all week long, during the noon hour connectivity was restored so I just didn't feel like doing anything for the rest of the day except browse the internet.
1/4/13
I felt unhappy at work again, but then I went to Laura's and we went to see Zoolights at the Lincoln Park Zoo which was very fun and exciting and joyous.
1/5/13
Two different 7-11s did not have jalepeno & cream cheese taquitos so I stopped at Linda Guadalajara and watched the snow.
1/6/13
Met a 90 year-old man who'd been in a Japanese internment camp (and he seemed to be a really happy carefree person), also Andrew the guy I worked with came to The Glenwood.
1/7/13
Elizabeth S. asked me how my day was and I said "six and a half," because there are so many things I could be doing but I get stuck and I just have to work with being stuck.
1/8/13
Not happy to find out that the Shambhala Center was sold to James Pritzker who plans to build a 4-floor parking garage there, but very happy and excited during my interview session at Mankind Project.
1/9/13
Got home from work before 7:00p and Dan had the heat at 80 degrees and the television on loudly but was not watching it and I was like "What is going on with life?"
1/10/13
The first session of my yoga anatomy class made me unexpectedly squeamish, which I'm going to need to get over.
1/11/13
After my anatomy for yoga class the night before, I was overly conscious of my joints and bone cartilage.
1/12/13
I was feeling dour the way I usually do on Saturday nights thinking how there's something amazing going on that I'll probably miss out on so I just went to Mans Country where I got one of the best blowjobs of my life which really improved my mood.
1/13/13
My first Ocean Of Devotion gong wash sound meditation at the Temple Synphoria.
1/14/13
Since I use public services, public transit, public laundromat, etc., I encounter a lot of people whom I'm sure did not intentionally set out to be assholes and yet it somehow ended up that they're in public acting like an asshole.
1/15/13
I went to Homolatte because I enjoy it and want to support it, but it was so full that I decided it didn't need my support that night and I left.
1/16/13
Rahm was on the brown line when I got on, and Braun Thies was born.
1/17/13
When I got home from my anatomy for yogis class, the kitchen and bathroom were clean so apparently the long-delayed professional cleaning crew appointment actually happened finally.
1/18/13
I know the project that everyone at work is doing is ridiculous and pointless, but it was a long day of work which made me feel good, and Reed left.
1/19/13
Met this guy Sid whom I'm riding with in his car to the "New Warrior Training Adventure" next weekend.
1/20/13
Enjoyed the presentation at Second Unitarian Church in the morning, and in the evening Jon and I had another one of our good long talks.
1/21/13
Enjoyed the rhetoric of the part of the inauguration that I saw, went to Lincolnwood Olive Garden, saw a movie with Jeremiah.
1/22/13
Second long day of manual labor not so enjoyable, and I felt really down.
1/23/13
Work was a little bit better than the day before, and the weather was a little bit less cold than the day before.
1/24/13
Started to understand anatomy more during the third session of my Anatomy For Yogis class.
1/25/13
Got up early to cook, went to work, left work early and went to the New Warrior Training Adventure weekend which I was immediately drawn into and loved it.
1/26/13
Wow, this was the day when the New Warrior Training Adventure really changed my life.
1/27/13
I didn't want to leave.
1/28/13
Still too much energy to sleep very much, I felt all stirred up, but I know I did it for a purpose, not just stirring shit up for the hell of it, but I had so much energy without a direction for it, and certain things felt really urgent, like it was going to give me cancer, and things at work could not compete so I quit trying to do work stuff and e-mailed some of my warrior brothers.
1/29/13
First good night's sleep since Thursday, I went to work (always feeling sexy in the sweater vest) and had a whole new momentum and clarity so that when I got into an argument with the office manager it wasn't that big of a deal and we all went about our business feeling fine about everything.
1/30/13
Sheri came to the homecoming / graduation / celebration of the New Warrior Training which, when I spoke at, I said I didn't want to say it had been life-changing since it'd only been two days but then when I got home from it was my first time running into the guy I dated a year ago and considering that I've spent so much of the past ten months fantasizing about all the ways I was going to bash his face in whenever we ran into each other again, I just calmed myself down and went about my business while he hid from me and I felt like a big strong powerful man for doing that, so just being able to handle that one situation differently, the New Warrior Training really did change my life.
1/31/13
During the break in our anatomy class I just laid on the floor in the middle of the loud conversations of my classmates and took a power-nap which felt great.
2/1/13
Wanted to go out somewhere and do something, ended up at @mosphere which was nice, met a bunch of people, talked to a bunch of people, had a good night.
2/2/13
Went on a date with Kristian Edward something Kilgore (he said he has four names because he's Irish, but I basically don't believe anything he says, but he's hot so whatever) whom I met the night before at @mosphere and we went back to his place, which was the first orgasm I had in over a week.
2/3/13
A long day of sadness and happiness and fun and accomplishments.
2/4/13
My first night doing VITA for the season went well, no exceptional cases.
