Davis

Has anyone been watching the new season of the Real World Denver? It has been an interesting season so far. Davis is the cute, gay guy this season and is almost never wearing a shirt. He doesn't really need to with the body he has. I don't know how many of you guys have been watching but in the third episode, Davis gets into a HUGE fight with one of the guys in the house and was WASTED during the entire thing. At one point he dropped the N-Bomb and a Real World producer had to come in and take him to a hotel that night.

The roomies made up and it seems to be ok for now. Davis went to a Christian college in Florida and is from Georgia. He does have a boyfriend, who is from his hometown and it was a big deal for him to be on the show. Anyway, enjoy the pictures.

The Weekend and Davis Mallory

Work really is getting to me. I know that I shouldn’t be harping too much on it but it is seriously getting to me way too much. Anyway, as most of you have been reading, since Wednesday, my dad has been coming in from Connecticut to go to the Big East Tournament games at Madison Sq. Garden (the worlds most famous arena) Leave it to New York to call it’s home of hockey, basketball and professional lacrosse the world’s most famous arena.

Anyway, I haven’t been sleeping much and all I have been doing the past few days have been working, going to watch basketball and getting drunk with my dad and going to a bunch of restaurants with my dad.

Now, the title of the post may be misleading, but that’s ok. Saturday night into Sunday morning I had to work and cover a shift. I am also promising myself that I won’t complain as much anymore about having to work extra shifts and not really getting anything from it besides being a body to fill the space. It’s not a hard shift, it’s a standby shift incase there is breaking news overnight. I have been searching for newspaper articles and sending some story pitches out to people and applying for jobs.

Once I get a lot of stuff out of the way, I have some free time to do what I want so I decided to catch up on episodes of The Real World over on MTV.com

I have always had a soft spot for The Real World growing up. Seattle, New Orleans, Return to NY, and now Denver. I always liked seeing gay guys on the show that defied the stereotype that I had always thought gay men should be. When I was able to meet and spend time with Danny Roberts it was a dream turned into reality. Meeting a guy that was so comfortable with himself and proud to be who he was. It was the first time in a long time that I was really ready to start admitting to myself who I am. Anyway, I have been following the show and will admit to having a small crush on Davis Mallory.

Looks wise, he is a guy I am very attracted to. He takes care of his body and has really shown how caring he can be. I haven’t been watching the show, or doing much of anything else with the crazy work schedule that I have had but was happy to catch up on episodes. I started with the Valentines episode where Davis’s boyfriend PJ (now Ex) visits Denver. The amount of love that was between PJ and Davis poured through screen and inspired me to write this post about relationships, coming out and just everything that has been running through my head.

I almost came out to my dad this weekend at the basketball games. We were talking about random stuff and I was very close but decided not to because it wouldn’t be fair to my mom. Family is a big part of my life and I am sure that they have some kind of idea because I have not had a girlfriend since 2001 and have not shown much interest in finding one.

Me wanting a relationship is also something that is probably preventing me from finding someone. I am too caught up in looking that I am missing out on a lot of stuff. My friend Cameron and I had a conversation tonight that really put a lot into perspective. He recently came out to his friends and family and though he is younger than me, made me realize that life really isn’t so bad. As always, he lives out in the Midwest and is far away from New York City. But positive conversations and thoughts are what will help me get through this difficult time and move on to a new JP. A better JP.

I know this post is all over, I am really tired and really needed to get all of it out!

So Far...

It's Saturday night and JP is sitting in bed at 12:30ish am. I can hear the gasps all the way in LA right now from readers. Well, I have had a VERY interesting weekend so far, I am laying in bed and wanted to share it with you guys so far...Friday after work I could not sleep. I had a softball game at noon in Central Park and had a really good time playing against another network's marketing department and kicking the crap out if them 27-5. After the game a bunch of us headed to this Irish place ( surprise) to get beers and burgers to celebrate the win.

First, what pissed me off is that this chick told me that the position that I am interviewing for on Monday, that has not been posted, has already been filled. I don't know if I believe her but I will stll go into this interview thinking that I will impress him very much.

Anyway, this guy who is our softball team captain and I have this flirty thing going on. Flirty looks, back rubs, words... emails... it goes on and on.

Anyway, we are sitting out on a balcony of an apartment and this girl is talking and looking away from us and he puls his shorts down a little but so I can see his "V" in his abs down to the base of his cock. Nothing else happened. It kinda sucks. He is very open and VERY confident.

I got back to my apartment at 9pm, hadn't slept yet so I passed out and woke up at 5am... crazy. I played softball yesterday and my first at bat I got a double on an error because the first basemen tripped me as I was going into first and I ripped up my right knee. It was bleeding and throbbing. I still played the rest of the game. Not bad. But my knee was killing me.
After the game, Cooper and I met up and headed to Queens to meet Davis McDavis at PS1 MoMA. It had a weird vibe and I had fun looking at some of the art inside. There were some cute guys walking around, and Cooper and I would just look at eachother and gawk at a few of them.
After the hipsters, wanna be hipsters and crazy people got old, we wanted to grab some food. Davis said his goodbyes and suggested Water Taxi Beach on the East River. It has spectacular views of NYC. Cooper and I started walking and talking and found some AMAZING views of NYC. I really didn't expect that area of Queens to be all that, but Long Island City, the area of Queens where we were at was very nice.

We get to Water Taxi Beach and the place is so much fun. Picture a beach bar, complete with sand and a Volleyball court, right on the East River with views of Manhattan as the sun is setting. My camera can't give the views justice. t was amazing.

We each got two hotdogs and just hung out enjoying the scene that was going on. There was a DJ and a lot of people just chilling out. It was sureal. We headed back into Manhattan and when we got off the Suway, Cooper had to go back to Queens to give his cat away... long story there, check his blog out for more on that. I made a few phone calls, had a beer at Vlada and my knee was killing me so bad that I came home to rest it. I have bandages all over my knee right now and it's killing me.

I am obsessed with the neon palm tree they had out there.

Who Doesn't love Volleyball players...





I am off to brunch with a VERY special guest here in NYC. He is visiting from Boston and used to be a blogger... More details later this Sunday... Stay Tuned
