Gay Marriage

What's the big deal?   A lot of people that are opposed to gay marriage say it goes against the bible and that it would also ruin the institution of marriage, but uh.....what exactly does divorce do?   That's legal.   We don't see all these Christians who have gotten numerous divorces stand out side with picket signs condemning themselves?  Those people would probably argue and say well the Bible's interpretation "changes" as society changes.  I love how THOSE people get to pick and choose what bible teachings can change and be acceptable as long as it's convenient for them.  I just don't get it, how can people be so worried and consumed with what I do within my 4 walls and what I do within my own life with my partner?   Why does it matter?   In what way does me being married in any way devalue theirs?  Instead of worrying about me and the gays devaluing their marriages, they should be more worried about people like Brittney Spears and Kim Kardashian who made a complete joke about marriage. 

At the end of the day, marriage shouldn't just be between a man and a woman, it should be between TWO committed people who love each other and want to have a wonderful family, two people who love each other so much they want to take care of one another as they get older.  Is that so bad?   Yes, it's just a little piece of paper that makes it official and NO we dont neeed that piece of paper to validate what true life long committed love is, but we just want to be able to have that option if we so wish.

It's just love, it's everything.

AMERICAN IDOL AKA WTF?!?!

So I have been watching American idol religiously since the very first year and used to love the hell out of the show because it used to be a show about actual talent. Now not only is it a show about "stories", its also a show where it's contrived and yes...even cast to hit every demographic of Tweens. In the past you had the male heart throb that all the girls would love, the gorgeous girl all the girls would hate, the dorky guy that was harmless, etc. the show was getting so bad and predictable because most of the viewers and voters were little Tween girls voting for the boys. That's why we haven't had a female winner since Jordan Sparks!

This season to me is the worst, I mean Lazaro?!?!?!?! That dude has absolutely noooooooooo business on that show much less advancing week after week. His voice didn't get him on the show, his story did. I said it before and I will say it again.....that dude wouldn't even win the Our Part of Town city talent show here in San Antonio, but since he stutters, why the hell not?!

They wonder why they are sucking miserably in the ratings, uh hello???? You're sucking because your feeding us the same crappy formula year after year and quite frankly, the public is catching on and growing tired of the show. Bring back REAL SINGERS!

GAY and getting older!

Well 39 isn't so bad!  I remember when I was 29 I used to just tell people I was 30, that way when I actually turned 30 it wouldn't be such a big deal.  Well as I predicted when I turned 30 it was no big deal....HOWEVER...turning 31 was like getting slapped in the face with a laminated AARP members card!!  I felt so old, and then things just started to play in my mind.  I started thinking of my life up to this point...and when I say "life", I mean from the point when I came out till now.

I came out when I was 21 and that seems like a lifetime ago, and I think back to the person I was then and I wonder what ever happened to that person?  I remember hanging out with my first gay friends Sam and John and my first best gay friend Joray, man those were the days!  We used to be such little trouble makers at the saint!  It was all in good fun though!  I remember when I first came out, I felt that I had to be out EVERY NIGHT because I always felt that if I missed one night, I was missing something, or worse...that the man of my dreams was going to go out the one night I stayed home!!   I know all gay men can relate in some fashion to not wanting to miss a single night out at the clubs when you first come out.

Here was my "weekly schedule"

• Monday:  Stayed in!
• Tuesday: Went to Sparx to watch the hot oil wrestling, and as soon as that was over Joray and I hauled ass to the saint to watch Newcomer/amateur night!
• Wednesday: Tycoon Flats for Margaritas (after Melrose Place of course), then went to the Saint!
• Thursday: Stayed in!
• Friday: Saint (back then the Bonham totally was dead on Fridays)
• Saturday:  The Bonham was the place to be! 
• Sunday: Olmos Park (holy shit remember how much fun that was cruising up and down in the car and playing volleyball) then went to the Saint for the Super Sunday Show to watch Shady Lady roll for dollars!  

Whew I am exhausted just typing that!  HELL now at 39 I can barely muster up the strength to go out one night in a span of months!!  LOL!

As time went on...and I got older, my crowd kind of changed.  I eventually lost touch with Sam and John, but remained very good friends with Joray even to this day!  A few years later I moved to Florida, and that's where the real transformation took place.  I left San Antonio as a very naive and wholesome kid and came back as someone totally different.  Different in the sense that while I was over there a lot of firsts took place.  I smoked my first cigarette, smoked my first joint (which I hated and made me paranoid beyond belief!!...Never smoke a joint and then go to Disney World, that's all I'm saying), actually stayed out and drank with friends, and for the first time in my life I experienced the high you get on the dance floor, and I don't mean from the music either!  You circuit fuckers know what I'm talking about too!  I came back a different person,someone who had begun to experience life and EVERYTHING it had to offer, both good and bad.  I wasn't ashamed of who had become, it was just kind of sad in a way because that innocent and naive person was long gone, and I saw things and people differently, no longer through rose colored glasses.

Now....The few times I go out a tear, I see all the same faces that were once new faces (along with mine) and I see how we have all aged. Some of us have aged well, and some of us have not.  I often wonder what has become of some of the people I knew way back in the day?  So many of them have moved on out of San Antonio to chase that ever elusive glamorous "Gay Life" and I wonder how they are doing.  They remind me of those people on the television show "The Walking Dead", always looking for their salvation, and never really finding it  Going from city to city looking for the beautiful people, desperately wanting to be one of them and find the hot boyfriend, but never quite fitting in or finding that guy.  I always thought, I mean if your ugly gay ass ain't cutting it here in San Antonio, you sure as hell aren't gonna find what your looking for in beautiful Miami!  Por Favor! 

I remember when I came out there were all these men in their 30's and I thought to myself  "GROSS their OLD, Stay home already!!"...Well now it's my turn and as I walk aground the club there is a new crop of gays running around with their friends (that they think will be their friends forever) causing trouble much like I did when I was their age, and I wonder if they see me and think..."GROSS HOW OLD!!"  I guess everything comes full circle in life and every gay has his day!  It's been a sweet life, peppered with some great times with some of the most wonderful friends along the way.  Now that I am well into my 30's I wonder what turning 40 will be like!?

 

Live life!

My first pinche Blog!!

Well I have always toyed with the idea of a blog, but never reeeeeeeally gave it much thought until I started getting friends and people who follow me on facebook telling me how they look forward to the stupidly hilarious shit I post on my facebook.  I have had people tell me that is what they look for when they have had a bad day or when they just want to laugh, I'm not even shitting you, I get that all the time.

I started to feel pressure to be funny and hope for stupid and Idiotic people to cross my path daily so I would have something to post and laugh about, but lets face it...No one is that lucky!

So I decided not to just wait for funny shit to happen,but also to just talk about daily things, things that move me, anger me and things that make me laugh and sad.  I decided to keep this blog as real as possible and hopefully pepper it with funny shit that people do, or the craptasticly funny shit I see and hear with my very own eyes and ears!! 

I hope you guys sit back with a glass of Petsi and enjoy my Blog and get something out of my thoughts! 

Happy pinche reading,

Roy
