Oh my, I can't believe I forgot to post about the weekend in Toledo! The show went really well, the boys did a great job arranging the night (even if they did get a little stressed out, it was their very first one). All in all it went really smoothly. All told, they raised about $700.

Ricki and Tony are still being raved about, they guys loved them and people on campus are still talking about them. I was so glad that Ricki was able to come with us, it turned out to definately be one of those Too Wong Foo trips, 3 drag queens and a wannabe drag queen piled into a car. Dominick flew in (the wannabe) and joined us for the weekend, and wound up getting TORE up the night of the show. I didn't mind so much, since he has literally had to carry me out of my shows before because I was so drunk. I figured he deserved it.

The next day, we had a ceremony to neophyte the Toledo boys, which went really well. Following the ceremony, they "kidnapped" one of the brothers and sent the remaining people on a scavenger hunt to find him. The scavenger hunt led us to the party location which is where they held their Night Of Madness. We had so much fun, snapping pictures along the way, tormenting the neophytes. Tony and Ricki didn't join us for the scavenger hunt... Tony can be kind of a stick in the mud about this stuff. He thinks he is too old to play games. I think playing these kinds of games keeps you young. They joined us at the party, where I was really worried that Tony was going to be a little harsh to the boys (he forgets that he was 19 once)... luckily after a few cocktails he loosened up and started having a good time. We all converged on the only decent gay dance bar in Toledo, where we had a WONDERFUL time.

The next morning, we started our trek back home to Cincinnati, just as a blizzard hit the area. The highlight of the return trip was definately having Thanksgiving dinner at the Iron Skillet on I75. The other highlight of the trip (both going to and coming from Toledo) was "touchdown Jebus". Touchdown Jebus is this monsterous statue of Jesus coming out of this lake. The statue is probably 5 stories tall, and it looks like night of the living dead. WOW! these Christians have bad taste!

HEHEHE!

Las Vegas is beautiful this time of year!!! They have about one month of perfect weather (highs in the low 80's, lows in the mid 60's) before it all turns to fire and brimstone.

I got to hang out with Dominick last night, he finally turned 21 so I got to buy him a legal cocktail for a change (I used to make him chug my cocktails backstage so no one knew he was drinking). I realized how much I missed him. He was such a major part of my life before I moved to Cincinnati, and while I think of him often, it is times like last night when we get to hang out that I really wish we were in the same city again... Never has there been a better pair of mischevious partners in crime as the two of us. He is thinking about meeting us in Toledo to be my Sherpa for the show... I can't imagine doing a regular weekly show without Dominick doing all the real work. He always made sure all I had to do was stand there, be funny, and pretty...

I also got to see Cody last night... he looked really great (he has the nerve to say he is fat, but he looks good as ever to me). He brought his ex-boyfriend (very recent)... that was only moderately wierd for me. Anyway, today is Cody's 21st Birthday so we are celebrating tonight. WOOT! WOOT!

Joey (Fiore) had her show last night, and she did a really great job! I invited her to come to Toledo for the weekend with Tony, Ricki and I. I think the 4 of us would have a great time, and Joey could learn a lot from Tony and Ricki. Not to mention the escape from vegas would be nice for him. Hopefully he can come.

YAY!!! I got to lay out in the Florida sun finally... I was beginning to think I was a curse, cuz everytime I came here, it would get all rainy. I apparently didn't spread my sunscreen on evenly, cuz I have patches where I am red and the rest of me is normal. Oh well, it will all even out in the end I suppose.

The big Toledo show is just around the corner, and even though I know I should have it completely ready to go, I have nothing prepared. We made some great costumes for me, and we have packed everything, but I am not really sure what numbers I am going to do. I was asked to perform in Wichita next month... I am really excited about that. The last time I was there, I made a fortune in tips. They were blown away. Contrary to popular belief, I do know how to paint my own face without Tony doing it for me.

Anyway, I have to get back to work now...blech!

OMG!!! Finally, the cold, gray weather is GONE!!!

Spring is finally here, and I have been living it up! I have been laying out in the sun, getting some color on my skin. I have been so energized, I got a lot of work done on my room, I even started my curtains, and hung some artwork. It's really cool how energizing the first days of spring really are.

I also love spring cuz all the boys start wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts (or no shirt on really sunny days) and they are all looking good just getting their early sun.

Why can't it be spring all the time???

people are in starnge moods today!

My little brother spoke about 3 words to me all night, the most recent crush was having mood swings, fraternity brothers that I usually talk to all the time not chatty, and the old crush I had from Vegas is acting goofy (don't know how to explain it, just goofy... but in a good way). I think I am too easily affected by other peoples actions... I found a quote today that I liked, I originally thought of it about my Vegas friend (the goofy one) the quote says:

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay for a while and leave footprints in our hearts and we are never, ever, the same. ~ Anonymous

Then I realized most of the people that are a part of my life have left footprints or else I wouldn't care that they are acting weird. hmmm... I have a very footprint trodden heart I think. I am a lucky man!

Not a lot to report... I am in Jacksonville,fl right now, and was hoping for some sun. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other ideas... it is stormng here. It seems it is going to rain over this entire trip. Oh well.

Been chatting with a friend from Vegas...it has been a long time since we have really talked, but have been having some nice chats lately. Back in the day, I had a huge crush on him, I suppose I still do a bit, but I always seem to be around at the wrong time (or in this case the wrong time AND the wrong place). I am glad he has come back into my life, his is a friendship I treasured very much while I was in Vegas.

As for the crush in Toledo, I think that has passed. I mean I still think he is great, I just realize I was being silly. Anyway, you will remember that story also includes someone I called the Player and someone called the Kid. I made a mistake... the boy I thought was the player, I think is actually the Kid, and the one I thought was the kid is quite clearly the player. Wow, thats confusing...

Ok, so last night I gave probably some of the worst advice ever... "Think with your head, not your heart or your dick." Advice I am not willing to follow myself, because I know decisions are made with a combination of all of those things, but mostly the first two. Without them, we would be a cold unfeeling world. We know that we have probably made decisions with too much of one or the other because of the reactions that we have to the stimulus around us. I woke up in the middle of the night heart broken that the crush was in bed with the kid. I certainly didn't use my head when going into this, I used my too much of my heart and not enough of my head. Silly boy.
