I’m Not A Regular Guy

Posted in dating, my life on January 12, 2017 | 4 Comments »

I was pinged online by a thirty-eight-year-old guy. He was a nice-looking hwp ginger. I was reluctant to reply at first given the age difference. Was he another guy looking for a daddy? I threw caution to the wind and dove in. The conversation was centered on careers and working out. It was refreshing the chat didn’t turn into a hook-up request. The guy asked me where I lived. My answer was met with a few minutes of silence. The guy tells me he googled my neighborhood. He was surprised by the housing prices. He went on to tell me he was a regular guy and was looking for a regular guy. He logged off before I could counter.

I’m not sure how he defined a regular guy, but clearly, I’m not, given my
neighborhood. Was I cockblocked by my neighborhood? I usually get rejected for my age, not for my house or car. At least I know he wasn’t a gold digger.

My friend, Peter, who now lives in Santa Fe, grew up in South Africa. Many years ago, Peter gave me this mask which he picked up on one of his trip to South Africa. It’s one of my most cherished possessions.

Repaid

On Sunday, Mack paid back the money he borrowed to avoid eviction. He was a few days late, but he made good on his promise. His actions confirmed I made the right decision. I expect it will be a while before Mack pays back the money he borrowed last year.

Saturday Night Art

Posted in art, my life on January 8, 2017 | 5 Comments »

It’s a cold Saturday night. I was watching a crappy Nick Jonas movie (has he made a good movie?) on Starz while looking through pictures on my laptop. They were art pictures, not porn. I found this image in the pictures I took during my last trip to Santa Fe. I really liked this painting but thought it was a bit pricey.

Lost At Sea

Another cold snap arrived this week bringing subzero temperatures. After spending most of the week inside, I needed to get out and socialize.

Justin Beard opened an installation/performance piece at Pirate last night. The piece was called The Unknown Ride. The artist laid a blue tarp on floor on which was placed a male action figure sitting in a black round tube. It looked like a man lost at sea. The artist crawled under to tarp and moved the doll around the tarp. I’m not sure what message Justin was trying to convey but it sure was entertaining.

Another interesting piece I found was an oil painting by Rolf Helland at Core ($1,000)

Can you guess what it is?

Corporate Whore

Posted in my life, work on January 6, 2017 | 2 Comments »

I’ve come to the conclusion that headhunters are nothing more than corporate pimps, which, makes me nothing more than a corporate whore. Today, a pimp told me I was overpaid in my last gig. A gig that lasted eight years. I need to find a new pimp, or at least, a new client who appreciates my talents.
