Return of the Joe
And I’m back!
Wow. What a long, strange trip it’s been! Seriously…I’m absolutely exhausted and worn out, but I feel excellent! I’ve found that when I’m super busy, I’m also really happy as well. Since last week, I’ve had plans with different people every single day. I’m never home and I’m constantly meeting new people, which is great, but it sure takes a lot out of a guy!
This weekend in Pittsburgh was unreal. The mansion I stayed in was by far the nicest place I’ve ever been invited to. I’m talking the “White House” meets the “Trump Towers” kind of nice. There were about 10 gay guys not including Mark and me. Of course, I stole the show with my good looks and charm. Heh heh heh. Going through this experience made me realize that I can navigate my way through any situation. I didn’t know ANYONE there and I still managed to be myself, make a lot of jokes, and even win over a few of the guys. I may have “won them over” too well as I went through a couple of situations where I had to explain to a 62 year old and a 45 year old that I wasn’t interested in them romantically. One of those situations got so uncomfortable that Mark literally had to rescue me from it. And considering that he’s 4 inches taller than me and outweighs me by a good 50 pounds, no one really messes with the Mark. He was my knight in shining armor when it came to that shit.
All in all, Mark was a wonderful host. He treats me with undying respect and looks at me with these clear blue eyes that just seem to go right into my soul. Without crossing the line, he was able to be romantic and sweet. I also found him to be incredibly interesting and fun. To say the least, I was pretty smitten with him while we were together.
Now, the people of Pittsburgh were a different story. I’ve never been called “Cracker” so many times in a 48 hour period. But I guess that’s better than being called “fag”, so I’ll take it. We were warned by the residents of Old Allegheny to “get our asses off the street” before we “got a cap plugged into us”. You don’t need to ask me twice…I ran back to the beautiful mansion as fast as I could…never turning around.
The weekend was one I won’t soon forget. I learned so much about who I am deep down and I was really proud of the way I conducted myself with both Mark and the other guys. I came back brimming with confidence, and also puffy eyes from complete lack of sleep.
Last night I went out with the Marketing Manager from Fox and we had a blast. It was the first time we’ve ever hung out and I was incredibly impressed with him. He made me two copies of the commercial and I got to tell you…it came out so well. I look good in it and it’s so fast paced that you barely have enough time to tell that my hair was cut WAY too short. Once I learn how to make a copy of this shit, I’ll send a few of them out, so you can see them. Hey…maybe I’ll even post it on this website. Yeah…as though I can even figure out how to put a picture on this shit.
This weekend I’m off to Long Island to spend some time with my most favorite girls from college. My best friend, Rita, will be there and she’s about three months away from giving birth! I can’t wait to see her and to rub that bulging belly. We’ve both been so busy lately that we haven’t had a free second to catch up and this weekend will finally be our chance. I can’t explain how much I’m looking forward to seeing all the girls, but most importantly, my Rita Lovely. Reunited at last!
In other news, I’ve never been so busy at work in all my life. I was promoted this summer and once the school year started, I lost my mind completely. Hence, this being my first post since I returned from the weekend. I never get a chance to email anymore and personal calls are just non-existent. So if you’re waiting to hear back from me in one way or another...I’ll get to you. It just might take some time. Eh…you’ll understand or I’ll punch you in the twat. And then I’ll laugh as I call you “Bloody Twatty”.
Speaking of work…I must now go back to tend to the beast that is my existence. I hope you are all holding up well! Much love your way my friends!
And I’m back!
