By the way... before I get to bed I want to leave you with a photo gallery of Jeremy Lingvall... super hot boyfriend to David Geffen...
Gawker has some pictures from his Friendster page... who the fuck uses Friendster anymore...
Honestly... Why am I even linking. Go fuck yourself Jeremy... for being so hot and charming and having dinner with the President.
I have a bunch of friends that have hot boyfriends and it's sometimes not fair how hot they are.
My friend Erik has a really hot ex-boyfriend that I faux-fawn over a lot. It's really fun to do.
Erik and this hottie lax player dated in college and have stayed friends since. Turns out that this laxxer has dated another friend of mine and I kinda swooned over him. I'm now friends with him on Facebook and wish I was a 20-year-old athletic twink jock... those are the kinda guys he swoons over.
Anyway... enjoy the Gawker gallery. I am off to bed.
It's almost the end of the year and I thought I would talk a little about work on here.
A few weeks ago I talked about interviewing at a different network... well I have not heard back from them. It's a good thing too because I really don't see eye to eye with the network and what they stand for... yes it is who you are thinking and I am not going to say who they are but I am sure you can draw your own conclusions.
So I am back at square one. I have sent my resumes back to the "mother ship" so to speak for jobs back in NY. For now I just have to be patient and wait for something to open up.
It's the holidays and there is a lot of shit that is going to occupy my time.
I'm moving into my own place soon which is going to really rock. I'm excited for that.
I just know that something is going to come my way soon. Karma is due to be paid back.
I haven't watched a gay themed movie in a while. The guy that plays "Gunn" (Keith Jackson) is a total fucking hottie. I really enjoyed it.
The basics of the movie is Gunn and Nathan are boyfriends at school and Gunn is not out to his parents. He goes home for Christmas break while his boyfriend goes off home to the east coast. Nathans parents decide to go on a cruise of the holy land and expect him to spend Christmas alone doing chores at their sprawling New England estate.
Fabulous Nathan shows up at Gunns parents house where he finds out that Gunn is still in the closet. There are lots of top and bottom jokes, the "oblivious" mother and the girl Gunn dated in high school.
I'm not giving away the ending but you can say that the movie has kind of inspired me to get back into writing something. While the movie had a good concept, I really think that I can write something awesome and try to sell it.
Ahh to be young again. What the fuck am I saying... I'm 28 years old.
The 19-year-old that came out to me a few weeks ago has had this up and down few weeks that reminds me of being 19-years-old.
He joined a hook-up/dating website... met a few guys off it... went crazy because he had a lot of older gents proposition him and then he met this hot Italian guy.
While going to grad school I ran into this hot Long Island Italian guy. For those that know me, a guy like that is my type to a T. We met and I instantly had a man crush. For whatever reason it never clicked with us and we were friends.
Well, the 19yr old went on a lunch date with him on Monday and now they have been knocking boots for the last 24 hours.
Just like Justin, maybe I need to get laid to raise my spirits!
Before I start this mad ramble... The Yankees need to close out the series tonight! Please put Philly out of their misery and just end this fucking series. It's NOVEMBER. The "Fall Classic" is starting to become the Winter Classic... and that belongs to Hockey on New Years Day.
Anyway, It's good that I start with the World Series and the picture with the post of a guy I know and his boyfriend. They dressed up as ARod and Jeter for Halloween. Arod and Jeter shared an ass grab earlier in the series.
I said I would update you guys on guys in my life and there really haven't been any...
Long pause and my friend Anthony yells at the screen.
About a month ago I was in NY on an interview (see below) I went out after the interview with my buddy Anthony and hit some bars in Chelsea and decided to head uptown to see Billy. Well, we never met up with Billy. In true Anthony form he grew tired of being out and decided to head home at 12:30am. Not too bad. He gave me his spare set of keys and told me not to make a lot of noise.
I had been eying this hot guy sitting down near us. He was wearing a suit with a loosened tie. Very hot. Blond hair and blue eyes with a swimmer build. He had been texting most of the night but I took notice of him. I went over and used some stupid line about sitting by himself. It got him intrigued. From there it was like I was my normal self. We had a great conversation and it turns out that we had a mutual friend in common from where he went to school. We traded Blackberry messenger pins and I excused myself to the restroom.
He texted me while I was in the bathroom telling me that I was hot. God I loved this confidence.
He gave me some awesome compliments which led to me figuring out that he was looking for a one night thing even though we both had talked about relationships.
The rest of the night was fun. Nothing too crazy. After that night I never heard from him again. We did not have full on man sex, but it was good to have that confidence back with me knowing that I can pick up a hot guy at a bar. Something that rarely happens in here in Connecticut.
The year is almost over and I have been thinking about this past year and my lack of dating guys. It's not like I haven't put myself out there. It's like Real Estate... it's all about location.
There are guys out there. I hope that a certain one from Connecticut is reading this and not researching weird web stories and gives me a call. That would be pretty awesome.
First of all.. I need to agree with Justin that Puck from Glee is really hot. He sang Sweet Caroline, which thanks to the Red Sux I know hate with a passion, and he looked fucking adorable while singing the song. He is simply sex on a stick.
I also realized that I, like many of my girl friends, love assholes. Lately I have been falling for guys that are complete assholes. I can't really say that I am falling for these assholes because I haven't really been in that situation.
Which brings me to my updates:
- I had a fraternity brother come out to me a few weeks ago. Since I am the President of the alumni association I have been around the guys a lot this semester. We have been planning a "Celebration of Life" for a brother who died last year.
The brother started through an IM conversation and we met up that night to talk in person because he has been dealing with a lot of demons inside of him. For the most part he has been doing very well. I brought him to his first gay bar that is 18+ and he has told 2 others. When he does it's like he needs to tell me immediately.
- I had a second interview in New York. It did not go as I thought it would. I got to the interview and was told it was for an entirely different position that what I had been initially told. I was brought back to a conference room with two ratty chairs, a small desk and a bunch of boxes.
I was told to fill out an application and that I would be meeting with the Producer, "M" and head of Human Resources "C"
Well, the assistant that led me back to this windowless room started grilling me with questions. I answered all of them to a T! I did great. She was smiling, sort of flirting. She told me to finish tha application and that we would head up to see M.
I get up to see M and we had a great conversation. I understand how precious time can be when you work in TV. About halfway through she tuned me out. Checked e-mail. Took a phone call... apologized every time and I made sure to dazzle her when I had her attention.
After we were done, she thanked me and said to have a good day. I was under the impression that I still had to meet with C. I had my application in my hands. It was so frustrating.
M brought me to the elevators and I navigated my way back down to HR where after 5 minutes I was told that I was done for the day. I left my application, references and my card and left. I sent my thank you notes and e-mails and am waiting to hear from them.
That was a debbie downer.
- A possible work lead; I have some downtime at work. I use that time to look for stories and video for all of our shows to use. (If you haven't figured out where I work by now you obviously don't know how to Google.)
Well, I have been helping this one group out a lot lately. They have been really great to me and I am interested in them because it has to do with working on the internet. I met with the producer and we will see how everything goes.
I'll give a lack of love life update tomorrow and get some stuff of my chest. For now... goodnight!
I went to bed last night knowing that I was going to have funky dreams. My allergies had got the best of me and I needed to use some Nyquill to fall asleep fast. When I have used this wonder drug I have always had really strange and realistic dreams. I am not calling myself a prophet but something strange happened.
I was at my parents house and I was helping my parents get ready for something. It wasn't a party... I was getting supplies and such ready. The house begins to shake and we run for the basement. Next thing I know the house is being torn off the foundation and I can see a terrible storm devouring everything in it's path.
I woke up and thought that it was a strange dream. I had watched 2 episodes of The Office before I went to bed so it wasn't that.
I opened our sliding door to go outside and it was incredibly windy out.
Found it strange that fierce winds were in my dream and woke up to them.
For the first time in a long time there is some movement in my life! Not as in working out or running but career wise.
Since moving back to the suburbs, I have had mixed emotions. I've been out of NY for 2 years. It's crazy to me that 2 years ago I was debating a move to California (where I would have been laid off) and a job here in CT.
Truth be told, I have hated living in CT. Sure I have had some good times with friends... but for the most part I miss the vibe of New York City.
A few weeks ago, I helped out a buddy of mine who works at a cable network in NYC. We have known each other since we were seven years old. He needed something from us so I hooked him up and did such a good job that he asked me to send him my resume.
Well, 2 weeks ago his boss sent me an e-mail about coming in and talking about possible job opportunities.
That interview was this past Friday. I am pretty confident in how the interview went because it was two hours and the Executive Producer told me that I "...would be a perfect fit."
What helped was that my buddy G is highly respected by her and at the Network.
I had lunch with my buddy G after the interview and he was impressed that it was about 2 hours long. "She never meets with anyone for more than 20 minutes when it comes to feeling someone out for a position."
I shot her a thank you card and a thank you e-mail. Apparently something is in the works and I should be hearing from Human Resources soon.
I am pretty excited about it only because this means that I will be back in NYC and REALLY involved in the creative process for this show. It's long hours and lot's of different jobs to be doing at once but I think that I am up for the challenge.
I seem to have fallen into this once a week or so posting mostly about my weekends.
What is sad is that my weekends are pretty much the only time that I have a life. I really have been asking myself the question why am I putting myself through this and I really don't have an answer for you. I hope to find one soon.
Anyway it was a good weekend because I hung out with my friend Shane. He lives in Boston but has a boyfriend here in CT.
I've known Shane since college and he's a fun guy to hang out with... but... he likes to embellish the truth a little bit. He's also a major drama queen.
Anyway, Friday night we ended up at a gay bar here in Connecticut. Shanes ex was there which drove Shane crazy and his boyfriend crazier because Shane really isn't over this crazy guy yet.
To blow off steam the boyfriend took me inside where I ran into this guy Ted that I had a drunken make out session with a few years ago. This is a guy who told me that he didn't want a boyfriend and then a week later had a boyfriend. He has since apologized for it and bought me shots the rest of the night.
While getting the shots I noticed this guy standing by himself. I mention it to my friend Ted and he said I should go talk to him. I was in a negative mood and said no and really got a push.
I went over and said hi and it turns out that he had been eyeing me as well and didn't know how to say hi. We got talking and his friend seemed to be getting annoyed. He asked for my number.
2 minutes later I had a text from him saying, "Hey it's Kevin. You're really cute"
It made my night.
Saturday we exchanged texts and he called me on Sunday when he was driving home to New Jersey. Ugh... he left out that he was from NJ. BUT... he is moving to CT...
Who knows how this will turn out. He likes me which is good. He is a die hard Giants fan which is better.
We'll see how it goes.
Tuesday, September 15, 2009
What a fucking weekend. Started off eh… went to bad and ended great.
First… I had plans to party and celebrate in NYC on Saturday night. I took it easy on Friday because of a cash flow problem.
See… In July my paychecks became tiny. I will still getting by paying rent and utilities but barely. I had no idea why. I looked at paystubs and remembered that my car insurance payments come out of my paycheck because my provider gave a discount.
Well the usually small number had ballooned up to a number that really ticked me off. I gathered all my paperwork and called the company. I was hung up on 3 times “accidently” by the automated system. That ticked me off.
Apparently, the company finally got my change of address form but did not process it until 7 months later. When they did process it they decided to click a box that said my drivers license was invalid.
After talking with the agent they found out that my rate was wrong and my license was valid and said they would refund the money they had over charged me since July… $2700. Yes. Pissed.
Saturday I had lunch at one of my favorite places with some friends after a long meeting for work (on a day off) I finished my chicken caesar wrap and something didn’t feel right. I laid down for a few minutes which turned into a few hours. I woke up feeling like ass. Next thing I know the sandwich came back up and my night became a nightmare.
I was up all night with that nauseous feeling.
I barely slept and then spent 5 hours tailgating before the Giants game. I really wanted to celebrate the day but just felt awful.
The good news is that I am feeling better and had a great time at the game.
I have been reading a lot of movie scripts lately. In my travels to various screenwriting sites I found the “Black List”
What is the black list? “Universal film executive Franklin Leonard's THE BLACK LIST 2008 "was compiled from the suggestions of over 250 film executives, each of whom contributed the names of up to ten of their favorite scripts that were written in, or are somehow uniquely associated with, 2008 and will not be released in theaters during this calendar year. This year, scripts had to receive at least four mentions to be included on THE BLACK LIST.”
It’s pretty interesting to see what kind of scripts are selling in Hollywood. What’s crazy is the fact that some scripts are bought and never made.
One script that was bought by MTV Films is “I Want to ____ your sister” I read it recently and loved it.
I think I really liked the script because I am a big brother. I am the kind of brother that (in the past) has said things to guys and stood up for my sisters.
While reading it I saw Ryan Reynolds in the part of the big brother.
Give it a read… and remember… the chick who wrote it was paid $300,000 back in 2007.
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.
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.
Well, today I came back to reality and work. Vacation was a blast but there were parts that were not so relaxing.
2 of my 5 beach days were rain outs. That was a bummer but still managed to get some great sun and tan myself.
I ended up heading out to Block Island for a few days with my family. For those of you not in the northeast it's an island off the coast of Rhode Island.
It's only about 10 square miles and they only allow a certain number of cars on the island.
My family and our neighbors go out to the island for the same 10 days every summer. It's a really fun time but my sister decided to be a bitch to me when I first got out there. When I got settled I decided to lay on a hammock outside my room that over looks the ocean. I should note that my sisters each got their own private rooms with Queen sized beds. I got a room in the basement with a futon. It is a finished basement with my own bathroom and entrance plus a hammock outside but seriously, a futon.
Anyway, I laid on the hammock and relaxed. About 5 minutes in my bitchy sister calls from the deck asking why I am not hanging out with her. I tell her I want to relax a little bit and she kept giving me shit.
After giving some 'tude back I was left alone when I wanted to be. Which was good because I got a lot of writing done.
I got home on Saturday and hung out with my friend Shane and his boyfriend. His boyfriend, who I have met once before Saturday, thought I was an awesome guy and is introducing me to a friend of his. The guy is really cute. We'll see how it works out.
I have job prospects, a friend hooking me up on a date and I am tan. I feel like a million bucks and can't wait to see what happens.
Ahhhh.... Vacation. Friday was my first trip to Yankee Stadium.
Well, the New Yankee Stadium. Boy did I have fun.
My work schedule really hasn't worked out where I could go to a game. When I worked in NY and got out of work at 9am I would go home, nap, then head to the Stadium and find a half price ticket and watch some baseball. It was awesome.
I went into the city to meet a friend of mine who is trying to get me on to this project. It would be doing some writing so I am pretty excited about it. After lunch I met my buddy Chris and headed up to Yankee Stadium.
What a sweet place it is. What really confused me is the fact that I walked in and had no idea where to go or what to do. I knew I wanted to do Monument park and the Museum so I asked one of the Ushers where to go.
If you get to Yankee Stadium there are people with signs and t-shirts that say "How may I help you?" These guys know the Stadium and where to go. With minimal waiting Chris and I hit both places in less than an hour. We watched some batting practice and then took our seats in the upper deck. Our seats were not that bad and the weather held out... until the 7th inning when it started to rain and turned into a monsoon.
I took that picture above during the rain delay.
The Yankees won (woot!) and I had a good time hanging out with one of my best friends. Now on to softball in the AM.
It's the All Star Break and that means that my job at work should be very easy. My manager asked me to come in a little earlier (still afternoon) to work so I could get out at an hour where bars would still be open and I could meet a friend for a drink or two.
Well, a last minute "crisis" at work and mis-communication left me at work an hour and a half later than I should have been there. It's ok though. The overtime was worth it.
It's been a fun past week. I have been hitting very well in softball and got moved to batting 2nd in our lineup. My bat has been on fire and my fielding has been pretty good too. I am excited for that.
What made my week was this guy Moose texting me. I met him last summer and the night we spent together was pretty awesome. We did not have full on sex but had some fun regardless. Since then we have kept in touch through texting and phone calls.
Well, he text me this past weekend asking me if I was going to be heading to the gay world series this year. I am not. He said, "Well, it would be nice to see you again. You should fly out" The games are in Milwaukee. I'm not gunna fly all the way to Milwaukee for a booty call and to watch softball.
This has led me to a conversation I had with a fellow reader named Jason. Since 2007, I have met some really nice guys. Awesome guys. Running theme has been that I don't live near any of them.
Of the last 5 guys that I met that were decent guys I would have tried to date all of them. All of the guys said they would love to date me; if I lived near them and didn't work nights. Obviously, someone not willing to sacrifice my work schedule to make a relationship work is not worth it.
I know that. It's just frustrating that it's a common theme.
I did, however, meet up with a friend of mine from LA who is back in the NY area. We had a long conversation about life and what I want to do at a diner after getting some drinks on Saturday night. His conclusion is that I should save a bunch of money and move in with him in LA. He has an extra bedroom I could rent out from him and he doesn't mind. We'll see how it goes. The more I think about it the more I need to take a risk.
I have been debating on writing about this. It happened while I was in Vegas. I had been playing blackjack and was down some money and buzzed off of the Jack Daniels I was drinking. I was walking up to my hotel room when I passed this little alcove.
It was a psychic. I have always wanted to get my fortune read. The only time I have ever done it was on the streets of New York while my then girlfriend was with me. The psychic said she saw me and my girlfriend getting married but I needed to go to her private office to have my energy cleansed from the devil. Needless to say I have not seen one since that time.
I was intrigued. Also tipsey. I decided to go in and say hi.
I paid my fee and off we went.
First she talked about work. She said that I am very focused on work and that she sees me on the phone at work but that I do not work in sales. Correct.
I nodded my head yes. She asked me not to tell her anything about myself except my birthday and to only give her YES or NO questions.
What was interesting is what she said next. She said she sees me signing papers in December and that I will be changing focus in December. I would be staying within the same company but in a different area.
If I were to get this fellowship, where the final interviews are in December, I would be staying with the same Company but living in LA. Interesting. She said that I am a creative guy and that what I am doing right now is not what I want to do. Ok, genaric.
She did say that she see's a life change in December/January which is when I would be moving if I got this fellowship.
She moved on to my love life. She said that I was single and have been for a while. She interrupted the love section and said, "I feel that you hate your midsection and have been doing a lot of running lately. I see you wearing an iPod. It somehow tracks your running." My mouth dropped. She told me to keep the running up and it will help me reach my goal. It's great meditation for me, which she mentioned.
She then talked about my love life. Yes I am single. She started looking strangely at the tarrot cards. She said, "I see you meeting someone with dark hair in August." She paused, then looked at me.
"You're gay. right?"
Now, I don't exactly come off feminine. That she got that right blew me away. She said that because she was picking up a very masculine energy with dark hair.
Apparently I will meet a guy in August, who I do not know right now, who I will date for 2 years. We will break up and I will then date someone I already know who has blondish hair for 10 years.
After this was over I wrote a bunch of it down in my written journal. I had been debating on writing it here but decided that I wanted to just in case any of this comes true. Starting August 1 I want to go see another psychic and see what they have to say.
Jimmy Fallon was in repeats tonight and I remembered the episode. When I first saw the episode he was trying to get guys to do a dance to a song he created. He asked two members of the audience to come down and try and create a catchy dance to the beat.
The first one was just BAD. The second was awesome. Turns out he was a ringer and professional dancer.
The ringer was really hot. With only a few minutes at work to kill I decided to try and find him using Google. SUCCESS! He's 22 years old and from Los Angeles. He's also about 5'8". He's fun to look at though.
Over the last year I have been trying to figure out what the hell I really want to do with my life. I have talked about numerous times on here that i want to write for TV.
Well, good news... I sent my Writing Fellowship application out last week.
I had to write an episode of a television show currently in production. I chose How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM). It's one of the funniest shows out there. I wrote about 5 drafts of the script before my friend Lisa took a look at it and gave me some notes and edits to make. I also had to write a biography which was about a paragraph and a Statement of Interest.
After I finished I had posted on Facebook that I had finished my script. A friend of mine called me and asked what was up with it. We got to talking and it turns out she has a friend that used to work on HIMYM. She put me in touch with him and after chatting with him for a little bit he asked to read my script. I asked him to give me as much feedback as possible. He sent me an e-mail yesterday morning and said this..
"I think you really nailed the tone of the show. Pacing was strong, dialogue was right where it needed to be (Robin and Barney in particular), and the plot -- while wacky -- was perfectly in line with the kind of things that HIMYM have done to great success in the past. Likewise a big fan of some of the gags you worked in. All in all it was a an easy and entertaining read -- it "felt" like a HIMYM.
It was well-researched, funny, and definitely one of the strongest specs I’ve seen from someone not currently drawing a paycheck as a pro."
Not only did that make my day, it has given me a really big confidence boost. Now I have to figure out what the hell I am going to do to make this happen.
By the way... before I get to bed I want to leave you with a photo gallery of Jeremy Lingvall... super hot boyfriend to David Geffen...
