Jerzey Weddings

What a weekend. I’ve had a really busy few weeks and have neglected the blog. I am very sorry.

So, what have I been up to?

Well…. Playing softball and being named “Most Improved Player” on my team. This season I doubled my RBIs and Home Runs. Batted over .650 and was hitting in the clutch. The season ended perfectly. We beat our arch rivals by coming back in the championship game. We get our first place trophies in September!

I attended a friend’s wedding this weekend down on Long Beach Island, NJ. It’s funny how close I have become with this family. It’s my sisters best friend from college and since they have become close I have hung out with their family a bunch of times and ended up invited to the wedding.

What makes the wedding so excited is that I got to hang out with hot Italian guys for 2 days on a beach and then all dressed up.

Last summer at the 7 weddings I went to, I got lucky and had some good times. This wedding there was a prospect that is still TBD.

This is the story. My sister had a fling with the brides cousin back in college. Now they are good friends. As we are on our way to the parents beach house she says to me, "Anthony is really excited to meet you. You guys have never met and are like twins."

So the night goes on and the Yankees-Red Sox game is on the HD screen outside and "Peter" introduces himself. He is hot.

Like insanely hot. We start talking Yankees... a little Giants football and how I have been training for a half marathon. He talks about how medical school has kept him busy.

He disappears for the rest of the night and I see him again at the wedding. It's not until the reception that we start to really talk and get to know eachother. He is a shy guy and my sister had said that he is shy but once you get to know him he is your new best friend.

Cocktail hour he finds me and we start drinking and talking about Vegas. Later, my sister and I make our way to our table and he takes a seat next to me.

The whole night he was always in my sight. When I would turn around he would be near me on the dance floor. Maybe it was me reading way too much into it and was caught up in his hottness. Halfway through the night I took a picture and said to the girls, "That's a Facebook default pic" Peter came back with a comment, "I just friend requested you so when you get home approve."

We ended the night doing shots. I ran to the bathroom and when I came back he was gone. Today, after I became friends with him I left him a message about the Yankees - Red Sox. He wrote me back immediately and then shot me a text.

I have an open invitation to visit him whenever. I want to take him up on it.

The gratuitous shot of Tim Tebow has been long over due to be posted. My love of Gator nation has been expressed on the blog before. I wanted to shar and post the hottie myself.

Coming Out

It's been a very interesting week. I had two friends come out to me in the same week. One came out of left field and the other I saw coming.

First there was "Jack" who I knew, kinda, in college. Jack is a cool guy. I was paired up with him as his mentor when he was a senior.

He wanted to work in television and my old adviser paired us up.

I had met him once after I graduated from college because he was in the sketch comedy troupe I help found.

We met for lunch one day while I was living in NYC and gave him tips on interviewing and he shadowed me at my morning show job one morning.

Last week he IMed me out of the blue. We have kept in touch and he is now working at a talk show as a PA. He asked me if I had ever been to Fire Island... I asked why?

There are parts of FI that are "straight"... he asked where he should take his boyfriend to vacation. I really didn't think of him to be gay... it never came up... very nonchalant which was pretty awesome.

The second was this guy "Al" who lives in Chicago. We met in Vegas 2 years ago at a fraternity event. He was there as an alumni with a few guys from his chapter. We met at an alumni round-table and hung out at the pool for drinks after.

I sensed some kind of sexual tension between him and his other frat bro he was there with.

We had a great time and hung out the rest of our time in Vegas and nothing happened as far as hooking up goes. We stayed in touch mostly through Facebook and he recently planned a trip to NYC.

His birthday was coming up and he was staying with a friend of his in the West Village.

Now, after we had met in Vegas, his buddy who I had met him with asked me if I had any interest in Alex. I was more attracted to the friend than Alex but said he was a cute guy.

Now Alex is asking to hang out because it's been almost 2 years since we last saw eachother.

We met up and Zach had become a lot more comfortable with himself.

It was pretty awesome.

Felt like sharing those stories before getting into the guy situation with me.
