Happy Freakin' New Year. Another year has come and gone and boy am I tired. I spent most of New Years Eve with Erik's Family and Ming. We shopped most of the day and went to buy alcohol and champagne for that night. Eudean then came and we just hung out in Petaluma and waited for the year to end in the comfort of home.

The next morning we go eat at what seemingly was the only place open in town - A chinese restaurant. Eudean was extremely angry at the waitress because she ignored him and only served Ming and I. From there I dropped Ming and Eudean off at the Tennis Courts and headed to the gym. I then went to pick them up and decided to play a bit of tennis with them. Afterward we went back to my house to freshen up and head to the city.

The boys raided my closet and dressed in my clothes, which was very cute. We headed to the city to meet up with Eudeans friend Bryan and ended up eating at Tinpan. It's a funny thing, Ming, Eudean and I all have our Bry(i)ans. Eudean and I have Bryan's with a "Y" and Ming has a Brian with an "i". Afterward we headed to Badlands for a night of clubbing. Eudean left early since he had work and I danced with Bryan and Ming the rest of the night.

After that we ended up at Baghdad Cafe as our normal routine dictated, so that I can eat. Eudean's Bryan ended up being a very nice guy with a lot of things I have in common with.

Today was a Lazy day for me. Well it started out that way. I woke up at 12:30 and counted the dots on the ceiling for a while. From there I crawled out of bed and took a long hot shower and then plopped myself in front of the computer and answered e-mails all day long.

This sweet guy named Izzy e-mailed me with his phone number to call, and so I did. I left him a message to call me if he wanted to go out that night. I sorta wanted to see a movie and I sorta wanted to see Lord of the Rings, so i also called Ming to see if he wanted to go to a movie.

From there I left home at 3:00 and headed to Davis to do some research. I lasted only a few hours in Davis and raced to my mentors home in Vacaville to do the normal chores that needed to be done so I could head to the city. Along the way, I get a message from Izzy saying that he got off work. So, I called him and we decided to go to a movie. We met up at Mels around 8 ish and watched "Maid in Manhattan". The movie ended up being very sweet and charming, just like Izzy.

I invited Izzy to go dancing with me and Ming that night but he had to work in the morning, so he did the responsible thing and went home. A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.

So I then pick up Ming and we head to badlands........ and so began the most horrid clubbing night EVER! We headed out to badlands and when we got there it was packed. But strangely packed. There was something different, almost wrong about the vibe at the club. But we give this long standing establishment of fagdom the benefit of the doubt and check our coats. We head to the dance floor with jubilance and began the normal bump and grind that we are known for. Yet, something was painfully incorrect. As we looked around, we didn't see the familiar faces that we tended to see.... the regulars if you will. Instead a whole breed of strange creatures..... women..... And yet as we peered closer at these creatures, they were not the lesbian sisters we all knew and love, these were straight people. Badlands had been invaded by the straight, the inner sanctum of homosexuality violated by breeders. Now, i have nothing against breeders and I welcome them into our clubs, however when they take over and bring their bad club etiquette with them, I must take offense.

Broken Gay Club Rule #1

The dance floor is for dancing. Do not bring your drinks to the dance floor because you cannot dance with an open bottle in your hands. If you think you can dance with an open bottle in your hands then please look in the mirror because you are straight. Bobbing your head back and forth does not equate to dancing. If you are not going with the rhythmic pulse of the dance crowd then please get off the dance floor and let the fags dance.

Broken Gay Club Rule #2

Only gays can show public displays of affection. Straight people are not allowed to display their affections at gay clubs. It is irresponsible, especially if you are cute and straight. There is nothing more heart wrenching for a gay or lesbian person, then to see someone gorgeous kiss the opposite sex IN A GAY CLUB!

The rest of the night just went downhill to the extent that our after club food fest at the Baghdad was less than desirable as well. I have much more to vent but will use other mediums to display this rage. However, for the documentary standpoint, I will never again speak of this night accept to add one note- The whole night I wished Izzy had come along to cheer me up!

January 3-12, 2002

So I have been haning out with this fireman recently, who is a genuinely nice guy. But, it seems I am still destined for the world of singledom. Ming and I vowed off clubing until Monday, However a friend of his from LA came into town and he "had" to go. So After watching Lord of the Rings 2 again with Lori, Renee and Kai, I galavant on up to the city and hang out in the cafe. The next day Ming and I had great sushi at Sushi Groove and headed to Sugar and the Palladium. Both were overrated and we spent too much money on cover again. I think the general trend is that weekend clubbing really sucks.

Oh well, Back to the drawing board. I figure it will just be easier not to look for any man anymore, that way I won't get disappointed!
