Murder in the Night II: Jesse Brings Home the Bacon

March 31, 2008 · 4 Comments

The nutria population around here is thinning…

Tonight I was walking Jesse sans leash, and after he did his bidness, he wouldn’t come back inside…something had caught his attention. I trudged on in without him, knowing he’d follow in soon…but he lingered. Finally I got irritated and hollered out the door for him to “COME IN!”. Right away he came trotting up the steps….with a giant, fully grown and fully dead nutria in his mouth.

I screamed (”Jesus Christ!”), and slammed the door on him, as he tried to nose his way inside with the creature in his mouth. Shouting the names of the Holy Family, as though I were a lapsed Catholic, I paced around trying to figure out what to do….couldn’t believe it. Finally I opened the door and let Jesse in…he had figured out that his “catch” was unwelcome. The dead swamp rat was lying right in front of my door in the light, so I grabbed a bag and a box. Bag over hand, I picked up the vile beast by the tail, put it in the box and carried out to the trash compactor. Sorry, mister nutria.

Later, I coaxed Jess out from under the coffee table and praised him for being a good hunter. I did this because he was so proud of his catch, and I know he was only trying to help provide for the family. He probably thought I’d cook that thing up in the pan and we’d have ourselves a lovely rat dinner.

Bless his little heart, it’s in his blood and his dna. He’s a good boy. I just hope he lets me do the shopping from now on…

The Poisonous Fog - and the Porn Star

March 27, 2008 · 2 Comments

They rode in on my beautiful, innocent kid jesse.jpg and they have taken over. Fleas! I didn’t notice them at first, except for the fact that he was scratching. I put the bug killer juice on his back and tail but too late…by then I was feeling them jumping all over me. I have big welts from the damn creatures feeding on me all night.

So, today I have to flea-bomb my apartment. Gonna have to set off the bombs, grab the dog and go to the movies for a couple of hours. He’ll have to wait in the car, but he won’t mind.

This is my new favorite porn star, Charles Dera. He’s straight, but just gorgeous and sexy as you can see. charlesdera.jpg

Sure wish I could get my body to look like that.

Music Meme

March 25, 2008 · 1 Comment

Got this from Urspo who got it from someone else.

1. Name five songs you’re listening to right now.
2. For each song, name the memory or feeling that it evokes.
3. Tag three other people to play along. (I didn’t do this part, but I’d love to hear your 5 songs! I did, however, link to each song’s Youtube video so you can hear them. You’re welcome.)

Here goes:

A. Leona Lewis - “Bleeding Love” This is a new pop song from a young, new singer, who’s first album, Spirit, will be released in the US next month. It makes me feel young, and reminds me how much I love a good, catchy pop song. I’d have danced to this back in the day…and maybe I will in this day!

B. Five for Fighting - “Freedom Never Cries” Five for Fighting is really just one guy, John Ondrasik. This is a song about war and freedom. It moves me emotionally on a number of levels. It’s not a pro-war song, it’s a pro-soldier song. It’s from the album “Two Lights”, which I can’t stop listening to….the whole album is gorgeous and brilliant.

C. Sandi Patty - “Upon This RockI no longer consider myself a christian, but I do love Sandi Patty, and this song really soars. The orchestration is wonderful, and the final note she hits is stunning, make me want to Praise Jesus. It sounds great on my ipod. Reminds me of what I did love about going to church: The music. Also love her “Love in Any Language”.

D. Elton John - “The Bridge” - I love this song, I did a whole blog post about it. It’s a gorgeous piano ballad about growing older and keeping plugged in to life. Inspires me.

E. Wicked Original Broadway Cast - “Defying Gravity” - Stephen Schwartz writes great show tunes, and I love the whole score of Wicked, especially this song and “For Good”. Makes me recall the fun of performing great music live on stage.

So there you go. Sadly, I find I don’t listen to music as much as I used to….I listen to talk radio in the car, and have TV on when I’m at home. I still love the same music I did when I was a kid….Elton John, Barbra Streisand, and good musicals. When I was growing up, I was at odds with my contemporaries; They liked AC/DC, Blue Oyster Cult and so on…I was into Barbra, Elton, Barry Manilow and the Captain and Tennille. Later I became a big fan of Talking Heads and more innovative sounds. Frankie Goes to Hollywood and such.

My Body is a Wonderland (For Medical Students)

March 19, 2008 · 4 Comments

Well, I’ve had my last patient modeling gig, at least for now. It was kind of a free-for-all, the young men and women who needed to do prostate exams or anuscopic exams all took advantage of one final shot inside my fabulous, interesting rectum. I’m gonna miss those guys and gals playing around inside me!

The very last thing was two young women who needed a check-off for Male Genital Exams. Nobody had mentioned to me that this was a procedure that might be performed, but I was cool with it. They shyly asked if they could examine my genitals, and I said yes. SO, there I was, in a little exam room with my hospital gown hiked up above the waist and these two cute 20-something girls handling and probing my fat dick and hairy balls. They were quite fascinated by my 2 gauge Prince Albert piercing, needless to say. If I’d been a straight guy, I don’t think I could have managed to not get an erection. Even as a gay man, I found the situation rather erotic. It was right out of a porn movie.

Tomorrow I go to have my “enormous” papilla removed, along with several class 3-4 internal hemorrhoids removed. Everything is going to slide in and out much more easily after the procedure, apparently. That sounds good. I have this wonderful new toy I’ve been wanting to try out….

City Weekend

March 17, 2008 · 4 Comments

One of the reasons I love living in a nice big city like Portland is the cultural events available.  This afternoon I went downtown by myself to see the Broadway touring company of Twelve Angry Men starring Richard “John-Boy Walton” Thomas.  It was an excellent production in every aspect.  The acting was top-notch, the set was great and the direction was terrific.  The play takes place in a jury room with 12 men around a table…hard to imagine how to make that look interesting onstage.  But the men were constantly in motion:  Standing, sitting, posed at different levels and locations around the very detailed, run-down jury room.   It was never static, even for a moment.  The views of Chicago through the dirty windows, the pouring rain…it was all very real and very compelling.  It’s great to be able to go into downtown Portland and see a production of that calibre.  It’s what living in a city is all about!   Just great.

The Oregon Bears had a 13th anniversary party last night.  Lots of fun, great crowd….I love my Oregon Bear buds.  Sweet, furry, friendly and loving men.

Spent a weekend with a gorgeous blue-eyed blonde from Seattle.  Aside from a quick trip out for a happy-hour cocktail and dinner at the Republic Cafe, we spent the whole time in bed.  Woof….so hot.

I feel completely back to normal, it was a nice weekend.  Hope yours was good too.

Self-Interview and Pneumonia

March 11, 2008 · 7 Comments

This past Saturday I decided to seek medical help for the Crud, as I couldn’t stop coughing and was feeling worse every day.  Turns out I have pneumonia.  I’ve been on antibiotics and liquid codeine for 4 days now, and I finally feel better, a lot better.  I’ve just been sleeping.  That Promethazine with codeine packs a sleepy wallop.

I put up a new profile on Bear411.  I had this up for a minute and then took it down, but I’m putting it up again; Shawn wants to see it.

SELF-INTERVIEW, March 2008

Q – So what’s your story?

A – Well, I’m 45, Pisces, poz, single. I was born in Oregon but I grew up in central California. Been in Portland for 14 years. As you can see from my pictures, I’m stocky, sporadically furry, and I shave my head.

Q – Isn’t this self-interview thing a bit pompous?

A – I dunno, is it? Thought it would be an interesting way to profile myself. I’m a very un-pompous person.

Q – Why shave your head?

A – So that I don’t have that “Dr. Phil” head. I don’t much care for that look. If your hair is going, or mostly gone, then I say let it be gone! Shave that shit off.

Q – How long have you been poz? Are you healthy?

A – I’ve been poz for 20 years. Yes, I’m healthy….haven’t ever had a major infection of any kind. I am “undetectable”.

Q – What kind of guys are you attracted to?

A – I like lots of kinds of guys, but am chiefly attracted to “Daddies”, from around 40 to about 50. Those aren’t strict numbers, but that’s generally the kind of guy who gets me very excited. Younger guys are looking very cute to me, though. Guess that happens when you begin getting older.

Q – Ok, but what about physical type?

A – The truth is, even though I’m a stocky bear myself, I’m not into big bear guys. I like a trimmer guy than me, and I like a guy my height or taller. I’m 5′8” without boots on.

Q – Sounds pretty darn specific.

A – Well, if I met someone and there was chemistry there, I certainly wouldn’t back away just because they didn’t fit into some ideal. I’m just describing what kind of guy usually turns me head.

Q – What’s with all the nekkid pictures? Are you some kind of dirty birdie?

A – I’m just a sexual person. I did some stuff for Bearfilms.com and I think the pictures turned out well.(They are 5 years old now). There are new ones coming soon, and a new movie. If I was in a relationship, and my partner didn’t want me having these pictures on my profile, I’d take them down. My relationships have always been monogomous. I just have always thought that porn is hot. I’m not a prude, and wouldn’t want to date one.

Q – What about substances?

A – I quit smoking recently and seriously plan to stay off cigarettes. I only drink very casually and I would not care date someone for whom alcohol is an important part of life. I think pot is okay once in awhile. I like poppers during sex. I used to do lines, but that’s been years ago. Pretty much just the occasional cocktail, the odd toke if it presents itself and a hit of Jungle Juice to spice things up in bed.

Q – Are you craving a boyfriend?

A – No, not “craving”… but I have been in great relationships with wonderful guys and it is a nice way to go through life. I would like to have that again. I like waking up together, having someone to sit next to, someone to talk and give my love to. I have a LOT of that.

Q – What are you into?

A – Ecchh…hate that question. Can’t we just see what happens, if there is an attraction? Sexually I am mostly bottom, but also happy to top, because I know how good it feels to get fucked. I believe I have coined the term “Viagra Versatile”. I like oral sex a lot, and have played around lightly with some BDSM stuff. That can be fun with the right person.

Q – Hobbies?

A – I like to read a good book, I like to go to the movies, and I especially love live theatre. I do some acting in the local theatre community and have had quite a bit of success at that. I’m not all that outdoorsy, but since I have quit smoking, I think maybe I could try a few more outdoor activities. I think occasional gambling is fun, and museums can be cool. Love the beach, and being naked outside.

Q – Ok, I think that’s all I need to know.

A – Well, there is more to know. Feel free to email or IM me. I do like to date, but I’m not big on blind hook-ups. I like to find out if there’s chemistry first. If what a person does for a living or how much money they have or make is important to you, there is no need to contact me. Other than that, please say hello. My blog can be an interesting read, it’s my homepage link above. PEACE!! LOVE!! DANCE NAKED!!

Crud abates, and new bug surges

March 6, 2008 · 3 Comments

This morning I was feeling pretty normal….thought my Crud-thing was over with.  The sun was shining and I went to work, had a mocha and a piece of lemon cake from The Evil Empire Starbucks.   After being there for about an hour, I realized a new cold bug was surfacing.  My nose started really running and I began sneezing hard.  Not good when you’re on the phone doing business and have no control over the phone.

Ain’t that a bitch? 

It’s full throttle now.  Food has no taste, nose is a running0 faucet. Brand-new cold on the heels of the Crud.

There is good news, though:  The job I had applied for last fall and didn’t get, at the performing arts center, came through.  I started yesterday.  It’s going to be SO much better.  I’m as elated as a person can be when they’ve been sick for 3 weeks.  whoo.   hoo.

I know you all wish me better health, thanks in advance for your kind words.  I have the sweetest, most thoughtful readers.  BIG HUGS Sean, Tony, Urspo (Myspo), Seamus and everyone else.  Back to the sick bed now.

Cancelled

March 1, 2008 · 2 Comments

I woke up today feeling worse, not better.  So I felt I had to cancel my Seattle excursion…it would have been a nice trip, and I would have gotten all that nookie, too, but just too worn down from this cold/cough/achy feeling.  Damn it.   I get these things 2 or 3 times a year, and I just hate it.  I did the Zicam, too, but it still came and hit me full-on.   Hacking a lung all day long for a while now…and it’s not from smoking.  Haven’t been doing that for about a month now.

Anyway, wah.   But 3 days of complete rest will be enjoyable.
