I'm still around....just been busy with life.
I'll put out another entry by tomorrow night.
I'll give you a short preview.
Bisexual guy who desperately wants a gay relationship but doesn't believe in gay marriage or gay equality.
Sounds tormented huh?
Well that's who I almost met to have dinner with recently but I've since chickened out because I don't see it worthwhile whatsoever to me.
He may think differently but I don't.
Have a great week!!

Thursday, November 5, 2009
Good morning everyone...here's another quick entry for the blog.
I can't help but feel a little bit sad and disappointed that voters in Maine also turned down a constitutional amendment introduced by the Maine legislators was voted down by the people for gay equality. I feel a disconnect all over and sort of feel yet more distant toward my fellow people.
I felt worse in my home state of Alabama at the time when it happened and although I had hope the same thing wouldn't happen in Maine, it did. I don't feel like crawling into a hole and hiding away from the world right now but I do feel a sense of let down for sure. I can almost hope for gay equality in my lifetime but yet, in a sort of hopeless mindset, I realize it's likely not to happen.
In other news, I went on a morning walk and a person near the park must have awoken at 5:45 a.m. thinking about trimming hedges to fill the park directly across the street with bluish stinky smoke and fumes for those few of us walking and exercising today. I would like to get into his head and see what drove him to this early morning madness.
I've included a photograph above of the culprit...Well, not really but this one trimming hedges may be more forgiven at least by me by his seemingly cutish factor.
Well, I gotta run...take a shower...hope on I-110...drive to work...deal with stuff there...and then hopefully get through today. I'm excited to see my fella tomorrow after work so time is a wasting. Have a great day!!

Purge Of Chat Listings Part 2
I really need to be having breakfast rather than quickly typing an entry but I felt I must comment regarding Aek's comment to my blog.
My purge of persons on my yahoo chat list doesn't include everyone but it is a nice way of letting go of those persons I had befriended or chatted with at some point in the past who have moved into different directions than where we both were originally.
Sometimes it's safe to assume they are busy and don't see the chat window but perhaps my comments should be directed at those who appeared at some point interested in chatting with you, developing any sort of friendship, and now mysteriously that desire by them, or me (since I am the one doing the deleting) has vanished never to be awakened again by me.
That's my main point. I can accept that people move on...I was merely pointing out that deleting those who you feel have moved on is also just as equally refreshing as accepting the fact that for whatever reason those individuals don't want to chat with you. I usually do try to test this theory by saying hello and trying to engage the chat spirits out of some of them.
Usually it doesn't work and we're stuck with one word answers like cool, kewl, and :). It's only then I realize either I'm a bother to them or they just don't really feel like chatting and I place the chat inspiration back in their court.
Otherwise I come across as some desperate fool trying to motivate others to chat and be friendly like I am. And that's just as frustrating to them as it is to me.
Oh yeah and Aek, we will chat again soon online or I'll email you. You are quite the interesting person and I still have you in my AIM buddy list. :)
Have a great week!!

Purge Of Names Part Two
Well, I know I have written about it before but it's worth writing about again.
I've "purged" the list of contacts on both my yahoo and AOL instant messenger accounts again. Don't worry Aek, you're still there and we do need to catch up again soon.
Gone are the ones who say they wanted to chat with me but for whatever reason didn't want to chat with me. Gone are the ones who say they were looking for someone to talk to but were too much not wanting to chat with me.
Maybe they found someone to listen. Maybe they really didn't want to chat with me for whatever reason. Maybe they got bored. Maybe they found an inner spirit that can't be helped by chatting with me. Maybe they moved away. Maybe they died. Maybe they had a car wreck.
Whatever the collection of maybes would be for not wanting to chat with me I'll never know. But they sign in, they sign out, but never chat with me again. And I'm really okay with that. I just can't help but say how fulfilling it makes me feel to erase the person so I won't struggle to chat with someone who absolutely has about zero interest in conversing about anything with me whatsoever.
Ahhhh, purging of names. So sweet and so satisfying.
Have a good evening and a super duper good weekend everyone!!

BloggerGuy39 Pensacola Beach Visit Update
Today I spent a relaxing day with the partner at Fort Picksns located on beautiful Pensacola Beach and also a trip to the beach called Johnson Beach.
Supposedly the nude beach that existed in Pensacola moved to Johnson Beach near Perdido Key. True to the rumor, I saw a somewhat handsome older gentlemen flash the partner and I as we drove around the end of Johnson beach. He actually looked pretty interesting to me. Even if it was 60 degrees outside, there wasn't any shrinkage that I could see because of the cooler weather.
Today's wallpaper picture was a nice view of sea oats along the side of the road. I'll write more about that, our day, what we ate, and the visit to the beach in the next entry.
Have a great rest of your weekend!!

A to Z With Bloggerguy39 Part Two
A To Z With Blogger Guy Part Two
A is for attitude. I usually have a pretty good attitude toward life and the future.
B is for bitchy. Sometimes I get bitchy but usually it's when I haven't had enough sleep.
C is for Clint, also known as Mr. C. He's a light orange cat orphaned by his mother I adopted a few years ago. He's about the sweetest cat I know next to Molly and Martha.
D is for driving. If I'm going somewhere, anywhere, I usually prefer to drive because I get motion sick pretty easily.
E is for eating. If you read a recent entry, you'll know that sometimes I do love to eat. See the comment about eating piles of food at a local Thai restaurant. For "Bill", you'll see I haven't forgotten you snuck that one in on me.
F is for feet. I have flat feet. Sometimes they get tired when I wear shoes without arch supports.
G is for grateful. I'm grateful for the 40 years of life I've been given and 13 wonderful years with my partner.
H is for horror as in horror movies. I'm not a huge fan of horror movies but I did enjoy Freddie versus Jason and also Jeepers Creepers 2. I'm not sure if it was the horror movie or the cute guys who starred in that I enjoyed more.
I is for Indian. I'm 1/8th Creek indian from my father's side.
J is for justice. I often think that justice is only for the rich and the poor in the world are left to fend for themselves without justice. In my next life I'd like to be a lawyer for the under privleged.
K is for kites. When I was young, I used to make my own kites from the Sunday comics section of the newspaper. They were fun to make and fly until I would fly them in a rain storm and they'd fall apart.
L is for laughter. I like to think I have a strange sense of humor that makes my partner laugh at least.
M is for motion. As in motion sickness. I can get motion sick watching a movie in the theater or being a passenger in an automobile. I got sick from motion in the third movie of "Lord of the Rings" in the theater.
N is for normal. I don't pretend to be normal or abnormal. I'm just me most of the days of the week.
O is for odd. I like to think of myself as odd but in a funny kind of way. I would like to think I can laugh at myself for being odd in my own special way.
P is for peaches. One of my favorite fruits. I like freestone peaches instead of cling peaches if given a choice.
Q is for quirky. I know I have my own quirks and I'd like to think my quirks are what makes me unique. Just like everyone else.
R is for routine. See "S" instead of this entry. I normally do not adapt well to a routine unless it's a morning walk with my partner.
S is for schedule. I don't do well to schedules in my personal life. I see the value of a schedule for work and even in life but for some reason I can't adapt well to planned out events and schedules.
T is for travel. I've seen national parks and been to some of the most remote areas of the U.S. thanks to scheduling and expert planning by my partner. I wish I could afford to travel a whole lot more than I do now.
U is for uniform. Camo, football gear, and baseball outfits. All look really good when an adorable guy is wearing the outfit.
V is for Valentine's Day. Even though I have a sweetheart, I don't see the value in one day reserved to tell someone with a box of chocolates and flowers you appreciate and love them. YOu should be sharing that information daily.
W is for water. Water is something I've started to drink more of and less sweet tea. Water tastes good most of the time and it's a good source to wash away any potential kidney stones.
X is for xhausted. :) Sometimes I can come home from work mentally exhausted. To cure that, I simply go to sleep, shut off the world and reboot my system until I wake up for work the next day.
Y is for yellow. It's attached to one of my favorite childhood fascinations. Traffic lights. Just amazing things they are.
Z is for zoos. I enjoy going to the zoo to see animals that are at peace with the circumstances in their life. There's something amazing at seeing wild animals in a zoo provided they are cared for and given the attention they need.
A is for attitude. I usually have a pretty good attitude toward life and the future.
B is for bitchy. Sometimes I get bitchy but usually it's when I haven't had enough sleep.

Two In Love Crushes Or Something Like That...
I'm not sure what happened in my life recently but I recalled a memory of my first two crushes with women.
My first crush was a girl in 3rd grade I'd flirt with from time to time in a purely platonic mindset. I'd tease her in my masculine way and she'd tease me back. Little did I really realize at the time that I was as gay as one of my classmates but for the time I enjoyed the attention and she appeared to enjoy it as well.
Funny thing when I ran across her at a local grocery store many years later, she did look as cute and adorable as I remembered her 20 years before. It's amazing how seeing someone that you knew and that knew you can bring back some memories of your early childhood years.
She's married now and has two kids with a guy who lived down the street from me. She says she often wishes she could go back in time, make some changes to her life, and be a different person that she used to be. She spoke of the simple life of growing up without fears and dread to the world on a regular basis. Now with kids, a husband, and a life, she expected things to turn out differently. I don't think she lives her life in regret but more so, she lives her life wondering at times how things would have been differently if she had moved to different directions.
Funny thing, in my crazy flirting of 3rd grade, I remember well dousing her valentine with perfume from my mother's avon bottle at the time. I signed the card with simple hand drawn hearts and arrows without my name. I was far too shy to have her know of my interest even though we flirted on a regular basis as cats and dogs. I remember when I dropped the Valentine into her box that her box would smell like strong perfume with my simple way of showing flirtious love.
She probably never knows where that Valentine came from that likely smelled up her box that day. I had a good laugh looking back at it and even now realized though I knew I really liked Darren who sat nearby in a purely infatuation sense, I had my first girl I had a crush on.
Can you imagine if I had sent Valentine's to my crush back then? I am sure I'd be a bit scared to do so but now a days...who knows. I feel even if he or anyone else couldn't really return my love (lust) at least I could feel more at ease being who I was. And yeah, Darren was still cute last time I saw him as well.
My second crush was in high school to one of the most popular high school girls I'd never be able to have, talk to, date, or even give anything to.
On this second infatuation, I wanted so badly to let her know I thought she was cute and wanted to be a couple. It's funny looking back, geeky me dressed in poor clothes that I had acquired from my father months before since he was far too ashamed for me to wear second hand clothes from Goodwill in his home. I am sure I looked a mess back in my day with my hair uncombed, older clothes, sort of thin and old, and suffering from a huge loss of self esteem trying to sort my life out with being gay, being poor, and being for the most part quite unloved in my home.
So anyway, one week after watching this girl from afar, I decided I'd give her a gift so I struggled to think what she might like. Without any coaching whatsoever, I decided on my own the best present ever would be candy in a paper bag like what you'd put your lunch in. I used my allowance saved for a few weeks and from stolen coins from my grandfather's coin bucket I went out and bought "Starburst", and other types of cheap candy that I'd open and pour into the basket hoping to win this rich girl's heart and shy her away from the more popular males who all wanted her attention.
After I finally got enough candy to fill the bag, I put my plan into work. I decided I'd give it to her during one class we had in 9th grade together. Tell her hello and give her a hand drawn heart and arrow bag with candy to make her day and make her fall immediately and overwhelmingly in love with me.
It never happened. I chickend out pretty quickly that day and hid the candy bag in my locker. I took it home on the school bus and ate some of the candy, gave some to my school bus driver, and shared a little bit with my bus riders that day. I wasn't really mad at myself at the time for chickening out and not giving her the candy.
I did come to the abrupt conclusion that I'd likely not be the heart of her affection when I was forced to complete with more elite male species I'd likely be at the low end of the food chain for others for some reasons I can accept and others with the plight of my existence at the time.
Looking back, I still have to laugh a bit at my choices and obvious attempts at trying to influence the female speciies of my affections. I should have realized that too often I should have just dealt the cards life dealt me at the time and hope and expect things to get better.
Which they really did start to get better but it would take until 1997, a full 10 years after my high school graduation to date, try to find someone to accept me for me, build a healthy attitude toward my own feelings and shame from prior events not worth mentioning here.
Then, suddenly life started going well for me. It was my turn to shine and my turn to have life deal me some cards where I'd have a winning hand then, and for my future with the person who chose to live with me. Looking back from 1997 to now, I can't imagine being more happy, more stable, and more content with the relationship with a guy who sweetly smiled at me through a car window and brought me ham and potato salad for lunch that warm August day.
All I can say is thanks to him for loving me despite my faults, my quirks, and my strange behavior that I'm sure causes him to shake his head in wonder where and what I was thinking about at the time. But he's still my love and our relationship to me continues to grow stronger and the weakness inside I carry around seems smaller and more shaken than ever before.
Thanks for listening to me ramble about my first female crushes. Have a great week everyone!!

What A Guy Says...What A Guy Means...What A Guy Thinks...
Now in an exclusive interview with your host, Bloggerguy deciphers the most common messages and responses you may receive while chatting online with local gay inhabitants. By the way, BG is me and nameless, faceless person is "Guy X". Lately I've decided if I have to be interesting, someone else MUST usually chat with me first. This eliminates any hard feelings I may have or short disappointments when nobody responds back to me after my usual "Hello" to them.
Coversation A
BG: Hello
GuyX: Sup?
BG: Doing well. How are you?
GuyX: Bored. Stats?
BG: They are in my profile.
GuyX: Okay.
GuyX: Why no pic?
BG: I see no point.
GuyX: Okay. Cool.
GuyX in this case has become extremely bored in his life and firmly believes that BG or any other guy can serve as instant boredom removal to an otherwise limited world GuyX places himself. It also appears that GuyX has a strong desire for someone to be entertaining to him while he quickly asks questions that have no bearing into the conversation. If you are just looking to converse with someone like this person, consider talking to your personal salt shaker in the cabinet. Your conversations would be much more meaningful.
What the guy says to you
"I'm so bored."
What guy means: "I am a really boring person. I don't like me."
What guy says..."Stats?"
What guy means..."Perhaps if I know your stats, I won't be bored any more."
What guy says..."Why no picture of yourself?"
What guy means..."Hmm, I don't have a picture either. If I accuse him of being out of touch by not having a picture, he'll feel guilty enough to send me one. Bingo, I won't be bored for at least 35 seconds while I wait for it by email."
What guy says..."Are you handsome"?
What guy means..."Are you like that naked picture I saw online I really like that isn't you?"
What guy says, "Got any XXX pics?"
What guy means, "It's fun to imagine having sex with you without having to have sex with you."
What guy says..."Tell me about yourself."
What guy means "Okay, I'm really bored. The more you can write about yourself the more I can simply reply with kewl. This might take the edge off my boredom big time."
What guy says..."What side of town you in"?
What guy means..."If I think you are attractive by your words since I don't have a picture to reject, I'll have to try other measures. If I'm interested, I'm not far from you. If you and I aren't getting anywhere with a possible meet and shake the meat, I'm as far as way as possible from you. You're located in the east, I'm in the west. You're north of me, I'm south of you."
What a guy says, "Cool, kewl, :)"
What a guy thinks..."Type something, anything to keep the conversation flowing from him. He's chatting...make it worth his while."
What a guy says, "Didn't we trade pictures before"?
What a guy thinks..."If we didn't and I know we didn't, I can use this device to get a picture quickly even if he says we didn't. I've lured him into my cave and now I can convince him with my excellent conversation techniques into sending me a self picture now."
What a guy means "I don't want to ask you directly for a picture. I'd rather pretend we have traded pictures but I forget what you look like so I can have yet another photograph of you to look at and imagine I'm having sex with you without having sex with you."
Well, today's lesson brought to you by gay.com online. When you're looking for inane blather and chatter outside of the thoughts in your head, please consider this well intentioned communication device.
Have a great week everyone!!

Eating Waaaay Too Much And Bitchy Waitresses
Hey everyone, I'm checking in from Alabama after a relaxing day with the partner in lower Alabama. It was supposed to rain today and it hasn't yet. That kept the partner from driving to see me in Pensacola so I came here.
We had a great day hanging out and catching up after a week of not seeing each other but making good use of Verizon's mobile to mobile minutes during the week.
I made some new friends at work but lately they scurry off in such a hurry I can't keep track of them and I don't know who is who really.
They are the cutest little sugar ants I've ever seen and for some reason they love hanging out at my desk where I defend them against finger mashings of my boss and coworker.
Why there's Steven, Josh, and Peter right there scurrying around my desk looking for sugar. In fact, my boss who likes to bring in a pie for breakfast from the local restaurant saw many of them gather to partake from the sugar within the dessert we all feasted on at breakfast time.
Speaking of food, I really ate waaaaay too much on this past Friday. It all started when I was driving into work and I stopped at a local Hardees and got two steak biscuits at the drive through to go with my orange juice from home.
Once I got to work, I ate both steak biscuits and then I drank my orange juice and then a 20 ounce bottle of brewed tea I brought from home.
Then at lunch time I had a twelve inch footlong Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with spinach, pickles, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Then I had two packs of Kroger cheese and peanut butter crackers with a 12 ounce Earl Grey tea brewed from the hot water machine in the kitchen.
When I headed on the road to home, I stopped in Crestview, Florida and bought a southern style chicken sandwich, medium french fries, and a medium coca-cola. Oh yeah and two cheeseburgers. I ate one of the cheeseburgers with my combo to wash out the taste of the coca-cola and by then I was rather stuffed.
That seems to be a lot of calories for even me...at the time they were delicious calories, but fast food in the early evening sits like a lump in my stomach. So Friday night here in Alabama even if I slept well, I slept full. And I even dreamed about eating more food again on Saturday.
Saturday was interesting. The partner and I ventured out with our mind set on eating Thai food in Daleville, Alabama, but the place was closed so we wrote out names of restaurants and chose Larry's BBQ in Daleville.
The BBQ was good and the salad bar was nice, but the BBQ chicken I had had to be from the smallest chickens I've ever seen.
The fries and baked beans were also good but I couldn't help but be slightly annoyed at one of the waitresses complaining about how the kitchen manager was telling her how to do her job better. She spoke loudly and whined about the manager telling her in the last evalucation that she should greet the restaurant visitors and ask them how their day was going. Oh yeah and the manager encouraged this waitress to ask the customers if there was anything else she could do for them. Oh and finally the waitress was encouraged to ask the restaurant customers who the food was.
What a novel idea. Here this supposedly good waitress was airing the drama loudly to her coworkers of being accused of not doing all she should in her job. Mind you it wasn't my waitress, but it's tiring and taxing to listen to someone at work bitch loudly about what she is doing wrong with her job when she has no intention of correcting it because the "boss lady" told her what she was doing wrong a few days ago. I just can't imagine doing that out in the restaurant at a table where others are trying to enjoy their meail. That's in very poor taste if you ask me.
Anyway, so we left the restaurant, drove over to a grocery store and I picked up my favorite vanilla and chocolate chip ice cream and cookies and cream ice cream I had for dessert yesterday when I got home.
It was a good day all in all. Now I'm off tomorrow and will soon venture back out into the highways to get back to home again.
Have a great weekend!!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Finding Beauty In A Dead Bird Resting Peacefully
Hey there everyone, I'm just checking in here for a few moments.
Here are a few snippets worth mentioning for the week.
(1) I saw a dead bird at work recently nestled peacefully between some shrubs between the building I work in and the other building I visit at least twice on a daily basis for work. I saw it a couple of times this week before someone did something with it. I saw it and it looked very beautiful. It's almost like that scene from "American Beauty" where the guy shows a video to someone talking about a plastic bag caught up in a windstorm. To quote from the movie, "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."
I don't know. It was beautiful. A dead bird. Much more up close than one singing from a nearby tree outside the office. Still a bird at peace and beautiful. Maybe I'm weird, but the bird was pretty. Green and yellow. I couldn't help feel sad for the bird but also felt sad because one day I'll be dead as well. Hopefully not gawked at by a lot of other people like I did at the dead bird on the ground near me for two or three days, but I'll be gone as well. All of these memories I have and thoughts will cease to exist around me. Darkness will come and so will night and pitch black.
(2) I still walk in the early morning and it's amazingly nice now because even for a short while the humidity is gone in the air and you can feel a sense of fall coming into another month of October. The birds are still out there flying low over the water and you can still see the sun slow as it glides up over the trees and houses as it begins to shine its light on another day I'm alive. Still like a dead bird there's something quite poetic and peaceful about a morning sunrise. Sort of like a sunset. It's nature's way of saying here's another day for you. A day for you to enjoy and make the most of what you have. It's an early morning walk and pleasant views that make the drive into work so much better.
I'll plan on continuing this before the end of the weekend. Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to see the small things in life that make you appreciate the bigger picture of things in your own life.
Have a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable weekend!!
P.S. Here's a clip from American Beauty I really like:

No Internet=No Blog Picture Updates
Well sorry the pictures of the camping trip didn't happen this past weekend because of lack of internet service in the remote areas where we were staying. I'll get an entry posted this week but alas, real world work calls me to duty this morning.
Have a great week!!
Have a great week!!

Friday Morning Blogger Update
Good morning everyone, welcome back to my world.
It's Friday morning and I'm in Alabama where my home is located with my partner of thirteen fabulous years.
I drove home recently to visit but also with a bigger plan for us to visit a camping site elsewhere with four other fabulous friends. (Gee, I almost sound like Emmett Honeycutt. don't I?)
So we'll be camping out in the woods with peace, quiet, chiggers, other campers, and beautiful sites of nature if the weather cooperates for us. There is supposed to be wireless internet available in small areas of the campground so the camera, the Dell, and I will take you along to see some of the views of the area.
Besides a chance of rain, the trip sounds fun and exciting. I've never had all four of my good friends and my wonderful beloved partner all together at one time for an outdoorsy outing. The outing starts later today as my partner, my friend Mark from my earlier days, and I all drive to Montgomery to meet some of my other friends.
And to start out to the trip, we're going to a wonderful place to shop for groceries called Kroger in Auburn, Alabama. Besides a great ability to enjoy shopping at Kroger, we'll have a chance to see a college town during a Friday which may or may not prove to be interesting with the local inhabitants of Auburn.
But again, we're taking you along and this time I hope to post some pictures. I might even include a few of the locals with their "War Eagle" t-shirts since there will likely be a college football game in Auburn this weekend coming up. Hopefully we will all be gone before the game, crowds, and students emerge on Auburn city streets.
It's about 5:30 a.m. this morning as I type this letter.
Here are a few random snippets in the otherwise monkey blog entry writing life of your host.
(1) My car battery in the Honda died recently. I turned the key and the light inside the car dimmed and went out immediately. I figured it was the battery but didn't have the ability to replace it right then and there so I called a cab to get into work. The cab fare one way was $36.00 one way. Ouch. I guess I see now why cabs don't really go out of business. Or at least most of them. I'd never been in a cab before and I was expecting a surly early morning guy who would drive reckless and take me the longest path to make the most money to my job. Instead he was friendly and I talked to him about the crazy people he has offered cab rides to in his past. I'm sure he was making some mental notes himself of how crazy I was for asking him all these morning questions about his job but it was quite interesting to talk to someone about their job. Perhaps as well he started talking because it was something he felt he could discuss. And besides that, it did a great job of making him turn down the ultra conservative talk radio he seemed to be enjoying at first. So, hey it was a win win situation for both of us. I didn't have to hear the latest attack on the President and he didn't have to talk about something boring.
(2) Back to a dead car battery, there's nothing less enjoyable to me at least. I went into get a car battery and an auto parts salesperson wanted to buy my old growing disabled Honda for parts. I didn't even mention the car was older but he starting foaming at the mouth wanting to look at the car and to purchase it. The week my battery died this car was my source of transportation to and from work so I didn't really want to sell it at this point because I feel I still can get some additional travel miles on it.
(3) My pet cat named "Martha" is curled up right beside me this morning. I let her in after she stayed outside last night since I had company in my bedroom. She's been with our family since almost the month I moved into Montgomery to be with my partner. She's older, stubborn, hates younger cats I have, and set in her ways but I know even though she can be quite sweet at times, she is going to move into the litterbox in the sky in the future. She's grown up in the relationship I've had with my partner since April of 1997.
(4) And speaking of the relationship with my partner since 1997, as I still lie in bed with him in the evenings putting my arm around his body, talk quietly to him, snuggle, and spend my thoughts and time with him I continually am amazed at how young our relationship feels. When we snuggle and lie down to talk, it's about as it was ten, eleven or twelve years ago. It still is fresh, new, accepting, tolerant, loving, kind, and stable as it was so many years before when we were both starting out our relationship. I can close my eyes and go to sleep realizing how good life is with him and how great another week of life will be with him in my life despite so many attempts to discredit our relationship by bigots and haters out there in the world.
(5) The sun is beginning to rise again to start a new day and the view outside the upstairs is just amazing. I miss seeing the sunrise early in the morning. It's like nature giving us a beautiful image to prompt us to take on another day. I realize fully one day I'll be long gone and this blog will go away as well and so will my thoughts at the time. But some things that are small should still be appreciated for beauty and a sunrise is one of those images that stick with you.
(6) Work is going pretty well. I'm starting to pick up on some ideas despite some setbacks in the department. One of my previous jobs as you can read about from past entries had co-workers that hated gays and passed gas in the department as a sort of childish trivial joke. The new job has the same employees who share common hatred of gays at times and gas passing as one of my previous jobs. I'd love to have a job where employees can act like adults and not share such strong bigotry and jokes with each other. I just can't understand why supposedly straight men can be so offended by a gay person they have to make fun of them and then talk about crazy stuff that cause outbursts of laughter at stereotypes of gay people.
(7) I also realize I can't go about changing the mind of those people I work with in my department but realize they are not personally attacking me for being gay. Or are they. I've decided to use this weekend to sort out how I feel about that whole issue. But I fully understand in a direct way they are attacking me whether they know I'm gay or not and a respectful office would not do such things to co-workers. Then I also have to realize it's the south. One of the employees is prior military so maybe that shapes his view of gay people. In our department, we have an asian, a white male from Minnesota, an Indian from India, a tropical island person from an island off South America, and a gay male. Sort of a cross section of hiring diversity if I do say so myself. More on that issue later. I have decided to look around at other jobs that might be available as well I could apply for.
Well, I've written enough for today. It's about time to get off the blogging world and get packed and ready for a trip. I hope to post some pictures over the weekend and update the blog with the creative words only a set of monkeys can come up with so stay tuned. Have a great weekend!!

Welcome To A Fellow Local Blogger
Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by. I've updated my blog to introduce a new friend of mine named "Steve" who puts together a good read of a blog with liberal (and quite welcome) beliefs in the somewhat conservative area we both live in. Check it out on the right and tell him "John" sent you.
We've met twice so far and he's introduced me to two great restaurants and I'm sure the next one will be equally nice.
Y'all have a great weekend!!

Pensacola Bayview Park Photographs
Welcome to Bayview Park in Pensacola, Florida.
Recently the monkeys and I ventured out on an early morning walk and came across this park and thought you'd like to see the view. This is what the monkeys and I see sometimes when we're out walking in the late afternoon or early morning.
Below is a view of Bayou Texar in the early morning. The bayou is nice early in the morning. I've seen pelicans and sea gulls, fishing boats and even some fish in the water early in the morning when everything is rather quiet at the park.
Here's another view from the shore of the water.
This little guy or gal was making a lot of early morning chatter. He or she actually stayed on the lamp long enough for me to take his picture before he flew off into the air to join his gull friends.
Gull friends, get it? He must be male. :)
The picture below is a sunrise overlooking beautiful Bayou Texar. The sunrise views when the weather is clear are just amazing!!
Now let's move onward to another set of photographs shown below.
I really sort of like this sign from the city of Pensacola. It's about dog guardians. I guess the sign writer could have called them dog owners but maybe this sounds more politically correct...I don't know. I especially like the message on the sign geared to the "dog" audience.
The next photograph serves as a reminder that breast feeding is natural. I guess it is just as natural as using asphalt to express your viewpoints. Natural as well. I could think of more creative things to write instead of about breastfeeding but I'll save that for a future "monkey" creative update.
This next sign is one tho say by all means in a park, don't do anything but jog or walk on the paths. No bike riding, no skateboarding, no in-line skating, no motorized vehichles, and by all means absolutely no fun. It wouldn't hurt to have some eye candy once in a while if you ask me but I didn't have any input on the sign or the lack of fun for anyone but a jogger or a walker. The ones I've seen gather around the tennis courts later in the day. *Sigh*
The early morning sun was especially pretty to me on this building. You just can't get this kind of sun in the middle of the day. I love how the orange early morning sunlight brought out this building. Do you like?
Finally I walked on a boardwalk over the bayou and decided to run flapping my arms like a bird to shoo some seagulls off the boardwalk so I could take their picture. They barked at me and probably thought I was crazy but I was able to get a few in flight.
Well there's one view of Pensacola and a park that has a relaxing path to take on your day. It's about time for the monkeys to have a banana and stop for the night.
More on an entry tomorrow including a special welcome to a fellow Penscola blogger friend.
Have a good week!!

It wouldn't hurt to have some eye candy once in a while if you ask me but I didn't have any input on the sign or the lack of fun for anyone but a jogger or a walker. The ones I've seen gather around the tennis courts later in the day. *Sigh*
The early morning sun was especially pretty to me on this building. You just can't get this kind of sun in the middle of the day. I love how the orange early morning sunlight brought out this building. Do you like?
Finally I walked on a boardwalk over the bayou and decided to run flapping my arms like a bird to shoo some seagulls off the boardwalk so I could take their picture. They barked at me and probably thought I was crazy but I was able to get a few in flight.
Well there's one view of Pensacola and a park that has a relaxing path to take on your day. It's about time for the monkeys to have a banana and stop for the night.
More on an entry tomorrow including a special welcome to a fellow Penscola blogger friend.
Have a good week!!

Pelican Photos From Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida
Well, I changed my mind.
There's a wildlife sanctuary in Pensacola, Florida I visited and I took numerous pictures of Pelicans in their habitat.
Here's a few of them for you to enjoy.
The nicest thing about this particular place of nature is the animals allow you to get close to them and take their photograph rather easily.
I think they look a little wild but their eyes and body are just amazing.
Have a great week!!
