Pride is like Christmas for gays

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A HAPPY PRIDE.
I have partied all year round in preparation for this weekend. The weekend started off with the circuit party which I had never gone to before. It was entertaining to see all the family out that you haven’t seen all year. Me, my roommate and his bf went down to party it up. Congrats to Kee Ju and Jeff for getting picked to dance on stage with Thea Austin and promote ur dancing, (sadly I missed her, but heard she was phenomenal, you’ll have heard of her, just look her up). And kinda congrats to muscle brains Ross and Scott for showing those imported gogo boys how to really dance. The night was a bit of a blur and was fun, the only problem is when every one comes to see the Omaha pride you get the bad along with the good, as we left the concert jeff, kee ju and I were sandwiched between JC directly in front and Shamina directly behind (oh she is such a train wreck). On a side note it was funny to see how empty our neighborhood was at night.
The next day our neighbor’s big red house was all a buzz… in the morning, first time every one was up! Me and my roomie went down and met up with Tarrel Brian Kee Ju and Jeff to see Emilia march in the parade. After that Sam and Queen B came down and called off work for the celebration. It was fun to see the booths games and shows. Mrs. Morgan’s performance was AWSOME. Great job back up dancers, who was that cute asian dancing ;-) the other awesome show was, as always the n’joy girls. I missed getting my groove on with sammy, thanx for the dance girl. So sad for all of those who didn’t stay or never came down, at 5 the put on Rent the Musical.
And for dinner a group of us went down to Zio’s where we watched a young gay guy get confused about a napkin or how to use a knife… but its ok, he just bought a pair of glasses at sears that looked like Nicole Richie’s. needless to say that offered hours of jokes for me.
By the time the night came around Amber took the Stage and gave a great performance and she will me pictured on her myspace. My sis also came down and had a blast with me and sam. I stayed at the Flixx and socialized. Then went to an after party at the Tip Top (it is so cliché).
The next day almost rainbowed out it went up to the Q for the closing party and saw a pretty awesome show.
Hope ya’ll had a happy pride.

Reliving pride:
Amber
Thea Austin

The President and 666

the anti-christ cometh and foreseen for thousands of years. now were any of us surprised that 'W' came to Omaha on 6+6+06. it just reminded me of Dante's 9th circle of hell, where hell is represent as 'no where.' But our hellish middle of no where region has Strat Comm, so we can see how this could also fit into some Nostradumous perditions.
for further explanation of Omaha as a middle of no where look into the Colbert Report "They have no accents."

Been Busy

Hi you guys, sorry I have not posted, it felt too much like school work. Well my London trip rocked, however, it was far more educational than recreational (except one spontaneous weekend I flew to Ireland and crashed in two girls hotel room). But I learned some impressive stuff, I walked around the news high-tech floor of Reuters (Euro’s AP) spoke with executives to large world wide PR and Ad firms, got business cars/advice, most importantly I was given the chance to pitch the group ideas. These things that I will have to work for my entire career to get opportunities like that again. by the last few weeks I was hanging with another group of students so I got out and about, had fun the last night I met up with 2 awesome Australians (I was to hunt them down). All in all, my trip was cool and as always I miss England here. But when I arrived I got to see my friends that I so desperately missed and now I have been swimming and going to baseball games and enjoyin little Omaha stuff.
This weekend was Lincoln’s pride, so I went up and supported. it was by far a lesbian fest, so I LOVED it. In fact the night before me and jeff went down to the lesbo bar here and enjoyed our selves fully. I also hung out with my sister and she brought her 1 year old which lesbians loved! I also took my sis to her first drag show and she had fun but got pissed b/c she couldn’t wear half that shit, then danced till 1 in the morning.
But BIG new for me… a new stangers with candy movie is come out next month, AWSOME!

Problems

ok, problems with london... it runs on like nebraska time, shops close at 6, most resturants close btwn 7-9 and pubs close at 10 while most clubs close at 1 or 2, ever thong is doubled in the £ (bad exchange rate) the busses try to run you over and the people i am going with are the worste clubbers out there! i have gone to 1 club in 1 night n I am thru. stupid striaght people (i dont know why so many gay men pretend to be, seriously it sux to be straight the only good thing ya'll have on ur side is the catholic church and even then u cant fuck) yea i want my friends here to GO TO A MUSEUM OR PALACE(i know its crazy here in Eng.) literally tonites entertainment is: drinking £2.00 beer in ur hotel rooms, i am not joking at all. this isnt Idaho, people here arnt fun and i dont know how to meet the locals. But us NE people are just used to doing that and its there comfort zone. i am fucking it all and walking aroud tinght. hope all is cool with you am spending way to much $ and being offer extasy out side of breeder bars. ill talk to you later i miss u guys.

Its better than France

not a big surprise. things that i have learned. if it has flow in the beer title it is very bitter. number 2 (its a biggie) busses dont stop for people... they have the right away, this has caused my funny moments. uck fish and chips, really tho, people werent joking when they saud the English were bad cooks, they put peas in EVERYTHING (or at least a lot). if you dont beleive just check out the demond barber of fleet street (its was a little different than peas but still yuck!). i havent yet explored any historical areas : ( i am studying very modern stuff, the BBC is cool but i wouldnt mind walking into the tower of London. well all is good on the home feild suffering with the awful exchange rate (almost twice our dollar) but i get along with people and my roomies (they are all straight and collecting beer cans). Cheers Mate.

"Nothing like the smell of balls sweat and duct tape to ward off the anxious feelin of looming finals." the night after i went up to Linc to a drag show. pretty good and cheap entertainment. now back to my social exile. hope all is well

i put the mmmm in S and M

I dont know if i should put this on my blog. So this weekend i went to a 'special party' and got flogged. there is this group called Spank Candy in Omaha. it is an S and M (and kinky) sex performance group, i have seen them before at the Rox and Erotic Art shows that i have gone to [i have told you about that right? anyway,] i was invited to a party hosted by the corky bunch at some big Layer's house in west O, it was actually a little more south of my parents house, 196th and something. Well i went Paris's house who had two draws of nothing but leather and harnesses to get ready with my boyfriend. Jeff slipped in to a revealing skin tight Fantastic Foreplay movie costume (which was delightfully out of character for him) and i got latched up and binded into a confusing leather harness, oh and a pair of killer boots and Paris donned so leather gladiator garb. so all wrapped up and alcohol in hand we track of regency to westward praying to god we didnt get pulled over. i was excited for free alcohol and whipping lessons [i just laughed out loud in the middle of the library right now]. with in a few minutes of arriving i was chained to a wooden X. i dont even remeber getting up there, but any ways i didnt really care. i posed for the camera with a zoolander face while Jeff and Paris pretended to hit me hard. to be honest i plain forgot that some of these people are really really into this. the owner of spank candy showed jeff how to hold the whip correctly and improved his swing. she took a few fake shot while i had Paris pour me some alcohol.... p.s. i hadnt even drank yet this is just me. well Paris tried the whip me, the girl tried the whip, but my demand was only jeff could truly hit me because i could tell him how. i was too demanding and talkative... i was actually carrying on a conversation about how the different whips where like types of cheese [you know some are more sharp, some are more smooth]... well after a while the whipping got more accurate and harder, and then i saw jeff standing in the corner. -ok, this was the fourth person up after like ten minutes! umm no. i just watched the movie Hostel the night before.
ok, here is the BIG problem... there was no safety word given! WHAT THE HELL!. so i was chained up and my friends didnt really know what to do (but i do make friends with stupid people). so i had to think- they like the submissive and whining would only made it worse... and if there is one thing i have learned about crazy people the only way to win is be more crazy. so i leaned into the whip and ran my mouth, please who is going to win a war of the words me or some 60 year old balding man with a pony tale in leather, thank god i know how to run my mouth. he stopped but it went on for two industrial Goth songs before it ended! well after that i watched a Paris's bf get electrocuted in the nipple and grabbed like a dog by females and really wanted to leave. the whipping guy got creepy and kept touching me and fallowing me. so, in short i found out i am neither submissive of dominating i just cant take it seriously... even when i was tied up with the weirdo guy flogging me i kept laughing and posing for the cameras, i am too light hearted about dark shit. not to mention it really didnt turn me on. i just like to have a great pair of shoes on. S and M, ehhh, i am over it. it ended before it began. i might post some pics.

Happy Easter, and a late Passover (for my jew-cy friends love sweet manochevits and kosher kneidlach).

Bigotry is a Slippery Slope

it seems intolerance is a slippery slope. our friends are back on campus. last year they condemned, in protest, fags and lesbians ('fags will burn in hell'). it was around this time last year that they were handing out these brochures. well they are back and this time with more bigotry. Apparently Jesus rejects... homos, lesbos, baby killers, unsubmissive wives, rebellious children, fornicators, adulterers, Buddhists, Muslims, Mormons, Roman Catholics, money lover, thieves, liars, drunkards, lazy Christians ... oh, racists and about 20 or other so groups that are going to hell. People have got to stop this intolerance. Let god judge in peace or you'll miss his verdict. they are obviously confusing their your own truths. i dont know why or how it gets so bad, these people are getting crazy, but damn many were pissed. on another note the day of silence it coming up.

To My Dearest Friend

Well, here is a series of promises that really speaks to true friendship: 1. When you are sad - I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad. 2. When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you. 3. When you smile - I will know you finally got laid. 4. When you are scared - I will rag on you about it every chance I get. 5. When you are worried - I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining. 6. When you are confused - I will use little words. 7. When you are sick - Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have. 8. When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass. This is my oath...I pledge it till the end, because you are my friend. Remember: A good friend will help you move. A REALLY good friend will help you move a BODY. Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel

The Four Noble Truths

1) The Truth of Suffering -Dukahh: There is suffering and impermanence in life for all beings
2) The Truth of the Cause of Suffering - Samudaya: There is a cause for Dukkha, which is attachment and desire (Tanha) and ignorance.
3) The Truth of the End of Suffering - Nirodha: to end suffering completely, one must remove desire, ill will and ignorance.
4) The Truth of the Path leading to the End of Suffering -Magga: There is a path that leads out of Dukkha. known as the Noble Eightfold Path. It is summarized into three important categories: wisdom (pañña), virtue (sila), and concentration (samadhi).

Roncalli's gossip update

V for Vendetta

V for Vendetta, good movie, I liked it. “the art of using lies to tell the truth” is a common thread of this movie. It originally seems like an allegory for the current American administration and media status (Bill O’Riley as the voice of London and everything). But it was published a decade ago between 1982 and 1985 as a graphic novel based on WWII. Maybe history repeats its self. But it’s a great social awakening. An extreme fascist single party state has arisen, called Norsefire, that maintains control of the country through food shortages (arising during the nuclear winter), government-controlled media, secret police, a planned economy, and concetration capms racial, political, and sexual minorities.
Oh and that annoying mask, it didn’t hit me until they said it in the movie, it’s a guy fawks mask. The man in 1905 tried to blow up parliaments and King James the first in the gun powder plot. The movie was good with one scene that was disappointing.
Ill give it*****

Oh my god its my blogger-versary

"Oh My God"... That was my first statment made for my first blog. wow i have opperated this thing for a year. that is crazy, it makes me feel old. well i think ill have a party.

my break: drag, mud, broke, smoking car

how are all of you. sorry, i have been busy. i tyr to keep up but dare i say it... i just dont have time for the blog i fear! but i will try and make it worth it. well lest start, i began my spring break waking up to ice sickles hangin from my window, fun. Nothing says spring break like getting up a 6 am because of hail against my window. Fuck you Nebraska weather… the strangest thing happened, it rained mud. It did, I originally thought my friend was high but it was. There was a dust storm in Oklahoma and got caught in a thunder head here. I was alright and safe I was in a gay bar with drag queens. For Reach and Kee ju the show was fun wish you could have come, we should all do coffee again.
21st birthdays seem to be big now so that is what I have been doing.. my pure dear prude friend tony turned 21. not only had he never been to a bar but he had never drank before that night… fun. Its alright I said I would take car of him.
So he said ‘matt, I don’t want to drink a lot’
my reply ‘oh don’t worry, here ill got the bar to serve you only the drinks in tiny glasses’
‘you can do that! Thanks matt’
So after like seven shots he was say that he was feeling dizzy and didn’t want any more tiny glasses, so to make him feel better I got him an ice tea (of the long island variety)
The poor dear. well now my car is smoking, which i am pretty sure is not good. and i am pretty sure i am too broke to fix it. :-(
well I will be back with more stories to tell, good night and good luck.

Black Oscar

ok so i only have a few minutes to post. i have been so busy but my spring break is coming up quick, i am just hoping to make it through mid terms. Brian i am happy to know you are starting to get into the groove of things in D.C. (call me some time non drunk) and Derek glad to know you cry a lot. so this week i got to see Louis Black when he came into Omaha. He presented his material for his new upcoming HBO special and made fun of bush, surprisingly liberal crowd at the funny bone.
well i also was able to catch the end of the Oscars, same old same old. i know many of my friends were rooting for Broke' but i did really want Crash to win. i personally felt it was the more challenging movie and it wasn't an upset it was an underdog. it didnt have as many academy nods as Brokeback, it didnt win best director, the studios planned a mid release (after feeling like it would take any awards) not during the Oscar rush season, it didnt win nearly as many other awards that usually be predictors of the oscars. i am happy that Crash won and i think it deserved it, being the better project. looking at the logistics of the screen play/director style/ presentation and how complicated it is to intertwine 4 main families of characters (as screen plays go) this one got 9 character groups in. that's complicated, the over all message was never blurred and it stayed on focus but was able to bring up ample material and different controversies. Hopefully this Oscar will get people to see the movie and realize what a work of art it truly is. Although i do find Broke' to be a monumental movie and to be a film of the year, but not the only or best. all i know is that i will own both DVDs and be able to watch and enjoy them both numerous times.
