Halloween
Hmm Halloween. Didn't do much. Well I sat around for a bit at my friends house. I remembered that I had to take a picture of my costume for a photo contest that that blogger "London Preppy" is having. Let's just say that I look like a jerk in a slutty rugby player costume.

Ulitmate Frisbee
Ultimate Frisbee is my sport of choice. There are a few reasons for this. I don't really like sports that are very agro. In basket ball and football it's just so macho in the bad way and it pisses me off. And Ultimate is a very welcoming atmosphere usually and easy going.
I'm starting a queer positive Ultimate team and I think it's going to go really well. I've been on my high school team and a junior national team, and my University team but I've never connected to my teammates that well. I don't what puts up that wall. Some how I just can't connect to straight men, not that they are idiots or anything but it's just that I can't relate in some strange way. Maybe it's the fear, you are always thinking "Who is actually OK with this? How gay is too gay? How much can they really handle? Are they going to understand or are they going to be a jerk about it?". I think there is just more of a base comfort with gays. I think this is the main reason why we need this kind of team. So that GLBTQ people who thought they could never play on a team because of homophobia and the fear of being found out can finally can.
Right now we have a plethora of lesbians that want to play but we have one gay guy (me) and a bi guy. The thing with ultimate is that it's a binary, meaning you have to have certain ratios of women to men on the field at the same time, this is just to keep it "fair". Some people think this is sexist but all PC stuff aside. Men and women will never compete in the same professional leagues. Guys genetically just have the potential to be stronger faster than women do. I mean don't get me wrong I'm not saying that a woman can never beat a guy. I'm sure there are a lot of women players that are better than me. For men it's just much much easier to pack on the muscle than it is for women. If we are just being real on the average men are stronger than women, women have to train much harder than men to be just as strong. You will never see a woman and a man boxing. I'm sorry if there was a team that was all men playing ultimate against a team of all women (depending on who they are) in general I would bet on the men to win. Men usually are taller and faster. The top woman's team in Ultimate could never beat the top men's team. There is just no way around it. Some people are giving me shit about this but really I don't think that I'm wrong to say that I want more men on the team. I was to stay competitive and that means more men. And plus what am I suppose to look at. I mean I like lesbians and all but I thought this was for me too and that means more gay men. Also in sports I think it's harder to be a gay man than it is to be a gay woman because a gay man is seen to be weaker and soft while a gay woman is seen to be tougher and stronger. And the world of sports tougher and stronger is usually a good thing. So I don't think it's bad to want to give more gay guys the chance to play even if it means I'm actively seeking them out and not doing the same for lesbians. I mean I'll still look for lesbians but I'll just try harder for the men's.

Boys Akimbo
Is there a name any prettier than Evandro Soldati? If you don't know he's a new wave male supermodel from Brazil. He just can't be stopped. He's been in everything from low end Abercrombi (which I'll forgive him for he was 16) to Dolce and Vuiton (I won't go on, the list is endless and people wouldn't know anyways either unless you were into fashion).
So today went alright. I went to my organic chem tutorial and it was really informative. The TA does a good job of explaining it very simply unlike others that shall remain unnamed. Then I went to my REM 100 (resource and environmental management) and my Professor referred to Frankenstein and he incorrectly called Frankenstein's monster Frankenstein. I told him that it was Dr. Frankenstein and not the monster. He said that he knew but that's what people think anyways. Seriously he's doing no one any favours. He looks ignorant and loses points with the students that do know this and to the ones that are under this illusion are left ignorant. I mean really, could he not have taken that moment to enlighten those who didn't know. He is a teacher after all.
After I went to class I went to the space (the queer group common room) and sat around not talking to the "queers" whom were being quite annoying. This fall semester it's pretty busy and it kinda annoys me because there are just so many people running around they are SO LOUD! It used to feel like my second home because it would be quite and I would just use it all the time.This time around though there is a friend in the space that seems to be into me now. His name will be Gymboy. I met him last fall when I first started coming to the space but he was kinda chubby. He's lost about 20 pounds now and has put on some muscle and he's looking pretty good from where I'm standing. His shoulders are nice broad and he has a narrow waist. He's invited me to go swimming the next day which I agreed to. He's in direct competition with Swimboy now. I'm torn. Gymboy has the better body but I feel like I get along with swim boy better. I should just have a 3 way with them. I'm pretty torn as Natalie would say.
Today I also when to donate blood. If you didn't know in Canada you can't donate blood if you are a man who has had sex with men even one time since 1977. So I lied ok! What's the big deal, it's not like I'm a rent boy or anything. And I wasn't the only one! There was this huge flamer there that could not hide his sin if he wanted to. He was wearing a cable knit sweater, the kind with the zipper in the collar that can open up and come down into a triangle kinda thing. Wow if that wasn't enough evidence for you he talked on his phone and it was a typical gay nazely voice. He then started to drink his juice box quite gaily. I was sitting with Callipygian Venus ( real life/blog friend) and I pointed him out and said, "I can't even stand it, look at the INFERNO that's happening over there in the refreshment area." If I were the one to screen him I would have been like, "Come on now... for reals? ". My other friend Cyberite( real life/blog friend) was denied because she didn't have enough iron in her blood. Possibly from being vegetarian.

Foolus Maximus
Today wasn't bad but it aggravating for about 4 hours. I had my organic chem lab and there is this guy in there that pissed me off to no end. I just feel like the he should get deported. I mean I'm just being reasonable. He's pretty much the largest (and I do mean "largest") fool I've met in a long long time.
Firstly he's an idiot. Every lab he screws something up. Either he breaks a thermometer or vacuum tube or splashes me with water when he's trying to set up his cooling system. He's quite the f**k up. Hopefully he'll just accidentally break a test tube and it will accidentally get jabbed brutally into his throat. Secondly he breaths so very loudly, it sounds like he's a serial killer just waiting to screw up my experiment. This may sound like a small thing but it drives me insane and I've decided that he's a psycho. Thirdly he's fat. Usually this doesn't make me hate someone. I was fat once myself and still have fat to lose but he's a special kind of fat. The "unaware of their own size" fat person. He bumps into me all the time. I could have been standing there for 10 minutes and he would still bump into me. And he does this while I'm doing very precise things and yet he feels the need that I need some gentle nudging that drives me up the wall.
Other than that hell hole it was a pretty good day. Not so much stress. Just hung out with some friends at school.

And then there was LIGHT! (again)
So this is my triumphant return to blogger not that anyone knew I existed the first time but it's a return none the less. I've grown a little wiser and little gayer but all in all I'm ready to post again. So lets start with today!
Today was kinda eventful I went to the pool for the first time in a LONG time. My new friend , which I'll call Swimboy, is teaching me how to swim. It felt pretty good to get in the water. I've forgotten how much fun it could be. I never used to swim that much because I used to be a chubby kid and really didn't like being seen half naked. It felt like everyone was looking at my fat so I would wear a shirt sometimes but that wasn't helpful because it would cling to my body and still show all my fatty fatty fat fat :/. Well this time was a pretty good experience even though I had to swallow a few cups of water. I'm not so self conscious now because I've lost a quite a bit of weight thanks to Ultimate Frisbee which I'm pretty proud of, but not satisfied with.
He tried to teach me to do the front crawl. I went in with an open mind and a winners attitude. Needless to say I sank almost all the time and received many joyful nose fulls of water. I'm way too tense in the water; I fight the water. Why wouldn't I? It's trying to drown me! Well that's not it's fault, but it does kill thousands of people a year? It's something to think about.
Towards the end I did loosen up and was more leisurely about my strokes. It felt really good. I think I just can't remember all the things I need to do. You have to remember to keep good form and to keep kicking, to breath, to turn over, and to move your arms. I think I might need to learn each part separately and to make them automatic so that I don't have to think about it.
And like any good gay blog you need some T&A to appease the eyes. So here we have a nice swimmer boy minding his own business.
I'm practically getting an eating disorder looking at him. It wouldn't be so shabby if I started to look like him after a few lessons : ) Well a guy can dream.
