Brandi's

Some friends and I went to Brandi's in Vancouver tonight. It's a straight strip club. It was pretty funny because all the girls kept flirting with me in their attempts to get me to pay for a private dance. I have to give those dancers credit. They really need to have a fit body in order to do some of those amazing moves.

Unfortunately, it was kinda expensive. Cover was $9 and a glass of 7-up was $5.25. WTF?!

Luckily I wasn't totally bored as there was the cutest waiter I've ever seen working there. Every time he passed by our table, I would be totally staring at him. He was so hot. He wasn't really muscular, but tall with brown tousled hair. Very boyish and very adorable. He looked soooo much like the guy included in this post.

Gay for Pay or Just Gay?

This has been on my mind for a while now. Every now and then I peruse the gay discussion forums and there are always talks about Str8 amateur sites such as "Sean Cody.com" and "Straight College Men.com". While I know that the guys on these sites are probably not str8, the arguments that some people put out as to WHY they're not straight seems flawed.

Hypothetically speaking, let's say some of these guys do consider themselves straight. Lots of people would argue that because these guys are willing to have sex with other men for money, they are GAY. "If you have sex with a guy, you're gay," is pretty much their line of thinking.

The problem is what if the situation were reversed? If someone offered me a ton of money to have sex with a girl I would probably do it. It would have to be a TON of money though, not because I am disgusted with girls, but because I don't want to be filmed. If we factor out the cameras and just focus on the sex, I would probably fuck a girl. I can actually see myself doing that one of these day, just to try it out.

Following the logic from the argument presented earlier, would that make me straight? I'm sure there are fags out there that have banged a chick. Would that make them straight? I don't think so. Just because a person is willing to have sex with a particular gender does not mean they would search out sex with that gender, be it men or women.

If a guy is willing to have sex with another guy for money, yet he only picks up women in his everyday life, I would still call that straight. similarly, if a guy is willing to have sex with a women for money, yet only searches out other men in his normal life, I would say he's gay.

A Day at the Beach & More Aaron Loftin

A couple friends and I went to Kits Beach in Vancouver today. It was freaking hot and all the shirtless guys just made me feel like the temperature raised by 10 degrees!

Not that I'm complaining. I really should head to the beach more often!

All this excitement made me want to post some pictures of my favorite model on the beach: Aaron Loftin. Guys like him were all over the beach today!

Stereotypical Gay?

I've been watching a lot of Sex and the City recently. I always liked the show, but I've just had a craving to rewatch a lot of the older episodes. They've held up pretty well. I find myself really enjoying the situations of the these four women.

This makes me wonder about my other interests...are they stereotypically gay?

Let's see, some of my favorite shows besides Sex and the City have been Desperate Housewives, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Alias....let's not forget that I've also been known to enjoy a musical or two. I wonder if straight men would have enjoyed Sex and the City as much as I have?

Do I enjoy these shows BECAUSE I'm gay or is it all a freaky coincidence? Perhaps straight guys are just too stuck up to enjoy these more "girly" shows. Luckly, metrosexuals give these straight guys some hope.

Missing ALIAS!

My god! I set my VCR to record the 2 Alias episodes tonight because I was going out and what happens? Someone in my house shuts off the VCR after only 30 minutes! I'm soooo pissed right now. Not only did I miss the two penultimate episodes of the season, but apparently some very important events occurred!!!!! Why world, why!!!!!?????

Never trust your family to leave your shit alone!

The Bat-Man

Love this picture.
This movie is going to ROCK!

Free Comic Book Day

The week sure went by fast. Last Saturday was "Free Comic Book Day." Those who knew that (like me) hopefully made a trip to their local comic shop to score some free comics. This is the second year in a row that I participated in. It's always great fun and you get to meet some of the talent involved in those comics. I picked up like 10 free comics, some I knew I'd enjoy, others just to sample the genre. I love it!

Nothing much happened this past week. I procrastinated some more so didn't get much done on my thesis.

I did manage to go get a hair cut on Tuesday. I don't know what it is, but I think I'm getting a crush on my hairdresser. I never really paid attention to him before, but the last couple times, I find myself becoming more and more attracted to him. The strange thing is that it's not like a "lust" thing where I want to jump his bones, but it's like I just want to get to know him some more, on an emotional level. It was strange, but a pleasant feeling.

I got a friend flying in from Hong Kong next week. It'll be great to see him again. It's been about 7 months since I last saw him. I think he's coming back for good which is cool. I miss hanging out with him.

Strip Search

I just finished watching a very powerful film called "Strip Search", directed by Sidney Lument. It's about the loss of freedom and rights in a post-September 11th world. Two parallel situations of an interrogation in China and the United States are contrasted with the exact same dialog. What made it so powerful was that there really was no difference between the two situations, but if they had been portrayed individually, Americans would probably say the Chinese authorities in the movie were being totally unfair. But the thing is, Americans are just as ruthless in their interrogation techniques.

Truly a film that makes you think.
