Advice for Las Vegas

I love you Las Vegas. I really do love you but you have become a bit irritating in your middle years. I still love the glitz, the tackiness, the over-the-top architecture/ people/ shows and all that jazz but I can tell the stress of high living is showing. Here is a little advice for you Las Vegas to help get the glow back from your glory days:
1)Stop the nickel and diming. For God's sake just put a coffee maker in the rooms. Are you really desperate for that three dollars for a cup of coffee (not a latte or frou-frou drink but a regular cup of coffee) that you can't put a coffee maker in my room? Seriously? Instead of letting me enjoy a cup of coffee first thing in the morning you are going to make me get dressed, comb my hair, and schlepp down to the coffee shop to over pay for a cup of coffee? And it wasn't just my hotel that didn't have it either. . .nobody we talked to had a coffee maker in their room. Hell, the Motel 6 we stayed at gave us all the free coffee we could handle in Oklahoma City. Why couldn't you do the same L.V.?
2)Don't make me pay $12 a day for the internet. Please! All I'm gonna do is check my email and send some pics out to my family and you want $12 for that? Again, ever budget hotel we stayed at gave it to us for free. Are you really that hard up that you have to charge for it?
3)Quit pushing the timeshares on me. Crap! All I want to do is walk around and enjoy the sights. The last thing I want to do is play dodge-em's with your over enthusiastic, sarcastic time-share hawkers. Leave me the hell alone to enjoy my vacation and then maybe I'll think about coming back. Keep harassing me with time-share lectures and "free" gifts and I'll think twice about booking a trip there again.
4)I know the Mexican immigrants need to make a living but do you really need to line the streets with them pushing hooker pamphlets at me? Do they really need to be shoulder to shoulder for blocks shoving this crap in my face? Wouldn't one or two per block be enough? Do you really have to make it a gauntlet to get from place to place without being accosted by smut pamphlet pushers?
5)What's up with the free drinks? Getting stingy with those aren't you? Maybe I'd gamble a bit more if you got looser with the drinks.
6)If you are trying to get me to go to your "exclusive" club for free then your club probably sucks. You are really scraping the barrel if you give me V.I.P. passes over and over and over again. You are really showing your desperation there.

It wasn't that I didn't enjoy you L.V. I just think maybe you need a little tweaking or botox or something...Just saying!

Home Safe

Well, C-Fresh and I are home safe now. It was a harrowing last four hours drive with the freezing rain and all but we made it. I know that popular question is going to be "Are you guys still talking" and the answer is yes. This trip was amazing for us to spend that time together. Don't get me wrong, I will never (if I can possibly help it) drive cross country like that again but it was still fun. Now for an observation. Those of you who have lived in/ been to Ohio know that we have a large amount of ugly people in our state. Well after driving through Oklahoma I won't complain again because that state is full of some of the ugliest, foulest people I have ever had the misfortune of laying my eyes on! OMG! It is just hurting my eyes to think about it.

On The Road Again

Well, we are just about home again. Why I thought it would be a good idea to drive across the country and back again in a week is anyone's guess. I must have been cracked out!
The wedding was really nice. The whole reason we went to Vegas was for C-Fresh's best friend's wedding. Here is the reason why I like this wedding so much. It was not about "look how much we can spend" or "look how over the top we can go" it was about a couple sharing this celebration with close family and friends. The non-denominational ceremony was so sweet (we both teared up) and the couple was so unbelievably happy. It was just such a beautiful, memorable, loving occasion to see them spend that special occasion with the people they really cared about instead of turning their wedding into a networking event like I have seen weddings turn into (trust me, after photographing weddings for 5 years I've seen a lot of things go on that you would not believe). If gay marriage ever becomes legal I hope my wedding is similar. Just close family and close friends celebrating love together.

Vacation Blues

While we are having a great time on our vacation in Las Vegas C-Fresh and I are just a comedy of errors. On Wednesday he was feeling a bit under the weather but started feeling better last night. Last night I started to feel like crap and went to be with a fever and woke up with a touch of the flu. That isn't gonna stop me though. Hell this is Vegas and you just gotta work through it.

Las Vegas

Hey everyone! I'm still alive. My hotel does not have free Wi-Fi (WTF?) so I finally ponied up the money and bought 24 hours of access to catch up on email and all that jazz. We are having a blast in Vegas so far. C-Fresh's cousin happens to be here getting married today so that was a random weird occurrence. Tomorrow is the wedding that we are attending but tonight it is off to see KA by the Cirque du SoGay. Yesterday we did the STar Trek experience. You would have thought we would be the only homos there but out of 27 people there were 6 gay couples there. How bizarre. It was really cute watching C-Fresh geek out over it and he was so funny getting his pic taken with the Borg.

Texas

Okay, there is a lot wrong with Texas but they do do their rest areas up. We stopped at the first rest area in Texas yesterday and it was freaking amazing. They had these metal TeePee areas set up for picnicing overlooking these gorgeous rock formations. The rest area itself was powered by a wind generator. Who knew Texas could actually be somewhat eco-friendly? Anywho. . .for my mom so there is visual proof that I am alive and well (yes, even at 35 she still freaks when she knows I am going on a long road trip. Why do I even tell her these things instead of waiting until after the fact?) here is a pic at the rest area.

Vacation

It is day one of our road trip out to Las Vegas. We drove for 16 hours today and we are spending the night in Oklahoma City. Tomorrow we drive to Flagstaff and then off the Grand Canyon Tuesday morning. We are both really excited about seeing the Grand Canyon. Nothing too exciting to report about the trip so far. The midwest pretty much sucks. The only sights to see are cows then the farm animals on the side of the road. At least tomorrow we'll be hitting parts of the country where the landscape will change for us.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy VD to ya'll out there. Hope you had a good day whether you celebrate VD or Quirkyalone Day. I made C-Fresh dinner tonight. I made this awesome Wild Mushroom Macaroni and Cheese that I found in this month's gourmet magazine and I also made our favorite Baked Asparagus. Let me tell you what. . .I am stuffed like a pig. Now we are just getting things together for Sunday when we leave for Las Vegas! Woo-Hoo!

Viva Hillary

I make no secret of the fact that I am a fan of Hillary Clinton. I will be voting for her in Ohio's primary and I sincerely hope that she does get the nomination. I finally found somebody smarter than me who agrees and has a lot of the same views as I do about her. Kenneth seems to be able to say what I believe in a much better way (then again he should, it is what he does for a living).

Obama's fine but I think he's being hyped so much that it's going to be a HUGE fall when he inevitably disappoints people for the first time. He's marching into the White House with Bill Clinton's "I can let gays serve openly in the military" bravado and I think it's going to take him a good two years to figure out that it's doesn't work that way.

Read the rest of what he has to say here.

Summer Time?

Is it summer time yet? Not in Central Ohio but in Las Vegas it might as well be. The temperature is supposed to be in the 70's when we get there so keep your fingers crossed for us that we'll have sunny skies and warm temps!

Russian or Hooker

You may remember that D. and I used to play a very politically incorrect game of Russian or Hooker where we tried to decide if some questionably dressed and coiffed women were. . .well. . .Russian or hookers. Since moving to Columbus I haven't had a chance to play the game because there isn't a large Russian immigrant population here like there was in Cleveland. Well last night changed all that. This couple came in and I would have placed a large sum of money on the fact that the woman was a hooker. I mean she had the fishnets and the six inch heels and the micro-mini skirt in a shiny fabric, the bleached and teased hair, the almost clown like make-up, and that "I'm for sale" kind of walk. The only thing that I couldn't figure out is why her "date" would bring her to a book store and flip through magazines when time was money. Eventually he came up and ordered two hot teas for them in a very thick Russian accent and it made sense.
The hard part was trying to explain the game to two very sheltered kids who had no idea what so ever of what I was talking about. That was when I realized Russian or Hooker is a game to only be played by the select few.

Where Are The Top Models Now?

I admit I got suckered into watching the Top Model catch up show last night. While it was interesting to see the girls and their takes on the events in the various houses what I really wanted to see is where the hell the Top Models are at now? I want to know who is working as an actual model and who is a high priced call girl and who is a trashy stripper now. Does anyone know where to find this info out at? I NEED to know!
Oh, and I SO want Toquara to be my fag hag!

Fruity

You Are a Lemon

You have a very distinct personality. And if you're not being sweet, you're a little hard to take. You're a bit overpowering, especially in one on one situations. And while you are very dominant, sometimes your power is needed and appreciated. You can liven up a dull situation, and you definitely bring a fresh outlook. You are a bit of an acquired taste, and you tend to grow on people over time. People feel refreshed and rejuvenated after spending time with you.

Zombie Dance

I saw this video over at Just Giblets and it made me laugh. You gotta love dancing zombies on the Tube in London. I would have been thinking "Damn, where the hell is my machete. Great the zombie incursion has happened and I don't have my f**king machete! Oh wait, they are gay zombies so all they want to do is dance and be fabulous" then I would have sat back and enjoyed the show. . .at least until they got hungry for brains.
