And What a Weekend it Was
I’ve now officially had two weekends in a row that netted me 8 hours of sleep in total. Although this is gay pride week and I’m sure to overdue it yet again, I am MUCHLY looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. It doesn’t happen often, so I try to enjoy every second of it when it does.
So! On Friday, my friend Angie drove us home to Albany. The trip flew by as we smoked pot and cigarettes and blared music. It was the fastest drive home I’ve ever had. We pulled into my driveway at 4pm. My parents weren’t even home from work yet! I quickly threw a load of laundry in and made myself a drink. Once my parents arrived, there were hugs and kisses and a few more drinks and eventually we got our acts together and went out to a local restaurant for dinner.
The weather was beautiful so we were able to sit in the patio area and smoke cigarettes! We had a bottle of wine, really wonderful food, and non-stop conversations about everything under the sun. Our waiter, although only 17, had a super amazing hot great awesome body and I flirted with him the whole time. I’m pretty sure he was gay…or he just liked the fact that I was drolling all over his arms and chest.
After dinner, we went back to my house so I could open up my birthday presents. My parents went overboard as usual, giving me cash, the new Simpsons Season 4 DVD, a couple of cds and movies. You know, the staples to every gay man’s collection. The clothes my mom got me were damn hilarious, so we took those back on Saturday afternoon.
We ended up staying up until about 3:30-4am playing games. I was pretty wasted and tired by that time. On Saturday, I went tanning with my mom and shopping for new clothes. She is so great to chill with. We laugh and laugh and make fun of everyone else who’s not having as much fun as us. You understand.
We were supposed to go to Saratoga for the harness track races, but since the Phish show was going on, we decided to stay home and play some more games. Angie arrived around 9 and we had a beer together before heading downtown. Now, the funny thing about going out to the gay bars in Albany is that you always run into the same people. There just isn’t enough variety.
Anyhizzle, Angie and I ended up going to all three of the major gay bars. We had drinks at all of them, but only one of them had a substantial crowd. A bunch of Mariah’s friends met up with us and we had a good time dancing and joking around. Eventually the night left just four of us rocking out. And of COURSE, I ended up run into a penis that I have sucked in the past. The penis has a name and it’s Barry and he lives in Syracuse. So why was he in Albany at Waterworks on the same night as me!? Very strange and over the top. He looked old and ridiculous and I hugged him and pranced out of the bar. It was super hilarious and man, I am SO glad that I am not still dating him. Bitch looked like shit.
When I finally got home that night, I surprised myself when I threw up. Guess I drank more than I had intended. Ooooooooooops. I shoved a slice of pizza in my face and went to bed. 6 hours later I woke up and had lunch with my parents for father’s day. I can’t explain how much fun I had with both my mom and dad this weekend. They are incredible people. And my dad surely loved the new CD player I got him as a present.
Angie and I took the train home together and had some wine. We played hangman and talked philosophical about anything and everything. Eventually we arrived back in NYC and we went our separate ways. Upon arriving at Paul’s apartment, I was overjoyed to find him in a great mood. He immediately gave me baby kisses and ended up taking me out to one of the best dinners ever!
I eat out in this city at least 4 times a week and there are STILL places that blow my mind. Inos was one of those places. If you are ever in the mood for a bottle of wine and some excellent and creative tapas, Inos will be your friend till the end. You should definitely get best friend necklaces. You can be “Be Fri” and Inos can be “st ends”. It will work best that way.
Finally at 10pm last night, I rolled into bed. My goodness, my eyes couldn’t stay open for a second after that. I have to admit, I can’t WAIT to get into bed tonight. I don’t think I’ll emerge at all. Well unless I have to take a shit. Then I’ll do it on my carpet and clean it up in the morning.
Get sleep now, cuz gay pride begins tomorrow!
YAY GAYS!
