Rainy Days and Mondays

Ah, Monday, Monday. The day started with rain and fog and ended with sunshine. I spent the weekend cruising the blogosphere and watching football. Damn that T.O. Sometimes it is so hard to be a Cowboy fan when you have to watch a game like yesterday in D.C., great expectations followed by heartbreak at the end. But my blood has run blue and silver for 40 years now and I can't not be a Cowboy fan, especially with a cutie at quarterback like Romo here.
Back to the blogosphere, I am up against a lot of great posters out there and I can only hope that I can measure up as I get better at this. As I said at the beginning the day began with rain and fog (literally) but perked up as the day went along. As I am between "real" jobs right now I have to devote some time to finding an income source to support my habit of living. I had a good job interview with a national company and hopefully something good will come of that. On the way home from the interview the sun came out to match my upbeat mood and so I decided to once again delve into cyber-space to look for some beauty and once again I found it. Then I checked my email and there were some job offers in there that could prove interesting as well as a great little email from Ryan over at Best Gay Blogs. I had dropped him a line asking him to take a look and give me his opinion and surprise of surprises he wrote back and said he would. I am looking forward to his review and hope that it will perhaps get some of you guys to check me out and maybe even keep on coming back. I would love to here from you guys as to what you think of my posts. As I go along, I will share the tragi-comedy of my life and times and share some of the beauty that I come across. I don't know if I will be able to match some of the really wonderful stuff that I have discovered recently, but I will give it my best shot and hope that you guys will appreciate what I put out there.

On the religi-politico front, there is another great read over at Night Charm on Pastor Ted's tips for the married man, read it here. I was raised in a religious family but thankfully I discovered the real world and did not end up in a hypocritical snafu like he did. I don't have a problem with God, after all he loves everybody, it is all those religious fuckers that bastardize his name and grub for money and power in His name. My first real exposure to the hypocrisy that is the big time evangelical world was way back in the 70's when I was stationed in Virginia and had a real good friend (lust object) that worked for Pat Robertson over at CBN. I got to see it from the inside and what an eye opener. I still can't figure out what McMansions and herds of quarter horses have to do with humility and Christ-likeness, or salvation for that matter. Needless to say I could never climb high enough on the mountain and did not appreciate the arrogance that emanated therefrom. At the time I was working with a youth group at a charismatic evangelical church when I was not at sea (yes, I am/was a sailor) but I had to separate myself from them because of the guilt that I developed. You see they had all these pretty boys that loved to hug me in their religious fervor and I always got a hard-on when they did! I had a hard time wrapping my head around that, so I left the church, but kept some of the pretty boys who loved to party at my place which was on the beach. I was then transferred to Cali where I went on the journey of self discovery that is coming out. But that is for another post.

I delved into my computer files for some eye candy for you guys which I have included below.
I hope you like and come back for more. Until then, when all else fails, grasp the situation firmly in hand a rise to the occasion!
