My Mexican hat / birthday party

Chris, Jimmy, Jeff, Jon, Andrew, Chris & Z

Unlike previous years, I decided to celebrate my birthday with small group of friends at Ovest. It was a humble afternoon drinks. To show my rage against to Arizona's latest upsetting anti immigrant law I asked them to wear Mexican hats. Some of them they did wear cutest hats I have seen.

It is too late to die young

When I was a little kid, I thought I would have been dead by age of 32. This morning I woke up  as a fresh 40 years old man. With my kid logic I have been playing extensions last eight years.

To tell the truth I'm not panicking unlike my so many friends. HONESTLY! I don't even feel 40. For most of the people I know, I don't even look 40.
What is age anyway?!!!! A number on my birth certificate?  A new box to cross out at polls like 40-45? or An obsession in my mind? What ever it is, just SCREW IT!
I have no choice! Birthdays happen! I learned to enjoy with my birthdays. Sure!! As I get older, my hair gets thinner and my waistline gets thicker, even though I want to have opposite---Thicker hair and thinner waistline!!! But I have bigger wisdom. That proofs I can't have it all.
When I celebrated my 30th birthday, I felt the same way. I didn't even care. On the contrary all my soon to be 30 years old friends were freaking out. Now it seems very funny to freak out for that young age. That explains to me age is relative. I'm a baby for someone is 74 years old. Also I'm a nine minutes away from my own funeral for someone is 17 years old.
Of course I loved my younger self. Definitely I will enjoy and love my middle age self. I learned long time ago not to fight with the age, because I can never win.

Yes! It is too late to die young! Now! It is time to say for me! Life is too short not to have FUN! 
Well! I should stop pondering, writing right now and go out have JUST good time.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! I'M 4-0Y YEARS OLD!-:):)
THIS IS IT PEOPLE! 
THIS IS IT!-:):)

THE gayest military party!

When Ru & Denise sent their facebook invitation, I was sure all the cute boys on Manhattan started thinking about their gayest military outfits. Their bday party team was "Don't tell! Don't ask!" This was the some HOMO military party

Screw! Don't tell Don't ask! We have our own army on Fire Island. 
Well! Party was amazingly crazy and FUN. Till next year! Salute too all!

A letter to my dead father--"Happy Fathers Day! Daddy!"


Dear Father 
This is Z one of your sons. It has been almost three years you passed away, but I know you are up there watching me. At least I hope and believe so.
In the past I was scared to talk to you about my life and my sexuality. I will be 40 years old next week. I’m at the point of my life; I don’t hide these things anymore. Being gay is who I’m and who I’m meant to be.When you were with us, you didn’t care much about me. I was your girly son. We had never a close relationship. In fact we had no relationship at all. Honestly I can’t tell it bothered me much those days. Looking back now, I tried so hard to handle problems by my own. I wish I had had someone to talk to. I wish I could have come and say something to you.--“Daddy! Why am I so different than other boys?” 
 Remember! How hard I cried to convince you to buy me a doll. You told me only girls had dolls. My friends loved action movies. I only liked the movies made me cry. I knew something about me didn’t completely make sense, but I didn’t what it was.
Years went on. My problems got severe. The way I looked, the way I acted and the way I behaved was not suitable to our conservative society. You yelled at me at every opportunity “Why are you acting like a girl? You are embarrassing me and your mother!!! What are we going to do with you?!!”
There were days you got so angry with me. Couple of slaps on face was part of our relationship. Maybe they were ONLY moments we got very close.
I have no recollection at all that you hugged me or made me sit on your lap like other fathers did to their kids. I always thought I was a weird kid and I deserved to be slapped.I loved to play with my girl friends. Boys made me feel so uncomfortable. They made fun of me all the time.
Remember! You came back from one of miserable teacher and parents meetings. You were at rage. I had never seen you so mad. Unfortunately my teacher told you that I was a bizarre, girly kid. Things got very bad between us.---
You know! Daddy! I don’t even want to remember those things anymore. I try so hard to black out those memories, but sometimes something happens to me. I see my past like a black and white movie in my head. I want to stop it, but I can’t!!! I like crying when I get in that mood.. Crying makes me less angry. At the end of long crying I feel empty, numb and weak but not angry at all. 
I know in deep down you loved me. You were under so much peer pressure. In our country a man must have a manly son not a girly one. The only scene I can’t get out of my head is when you were in hospital for heart surgery. Remember that Daddy!You were so sick, weak and helpless. My mother was out of it and my bipolar twin brother wasn’t in a good condition to help you. All day I had to handle your paper work for health insurance.
I was sitting next to you. Suddenly you woke up from your nap. You seemed very dizzy. I gave you a glass of water. You grabbed my hand and said “Please Do NOT hate me!”---That was it!  
After that I had to go to my mandatory military service. Life took me in its hands. I worked really hard and left our town. We talked on the phone once in a while but nothing like close father and son. We both knew that I was gay. As usual “Don’t tell! Don’t ask” policy worked between us. 
That late December morning when my uncle called me, I knew you were dead. Believe or not! I had had felt a sharp pain in my heart. Something like…!!! It was so hard to describe. 
 Daddy! I was miles away when you passed away. I couldn’t get to say goodbye to you. In fact! I never could get the courage to say “I love you!”
This letter is my last change to tell you “I LOVE YOU FATHER! Everything is OK now! Your little girly son turned out just fine. Don’t you worry about me! I take care of myself like a man! Just like you wished for! And Goodbye Daddy! Hope! You are OK where you are now!”   
Happy Fathers Day!
Your son Z!

Yoga, Wrinkled testicles & Big Release! Whaaaat!!!!!


One of my new year resolutions was being healthier and starting yoga. I decided to fulfill my resolution at the end of May.Yeah! I was that determined and I waited almost six months LOL!! Luckily my gym had a yoga class. I didn't want to go to a special yoga place and pay extra bucks, since I had been paying shit load of money to my gym every single month especially for something I had never tried before.
It was a lovely Saturday morning. I was hungover as usual. As I approached to yoga room, I felt excited. As soon as I got in the room, I scanned through people. Shockingly there were so many girls!! Where were all cute gay boys? --Yup! I saw one. I had to be near to him. I set my stuff next to him and couragely smiled at him. Normally I wouldn't, but I must have been still drunk, considering I had peed solid vodka in the restroom just before entering the space
Yoga teacher arrived after three minutes. He was a skinny heterosexual boy. I have to tell you I don't like guys skinner than me. They irritate me. I'm so used to being the skinniest one. They make me look fat. Especially skinny straight boys are the worst.
Anyway he put on very calm music and asked "Is anyone here never done yoga before" I raised my hand.-- What a MISTAKE!! He said "You can't be at first row. Please move to the back" BUT!!-- I wanted to stay next to cute blond guy. Skinny bitch sent me to next a fat chick. Great start!!! 
As every chubby girl she was wearing leggings and very short spaghetti strap tank top. I just wanted to tell her "Excuse me! Camel toe is burning my eyes!" Of course I couldn't.  I wanted get along with my neighbor. My question was why ONLY chunky ones wore these leggigings??!!
As I settled down, I smelled something like combination of pickle and rotten mouse.---Sniff! Sniff! OMG! Old guy in front of me had bad feet. I mumbled "GREAT! Those will be in my mouth as soon as action starts. GOD! Can I just vomit??"
Teacher made us saying " Hmmm! Hmmm! Hmm Hmm!' 
First couple f positions were easy for me. I checked out fat chick how she was doing. BOY! She was spreading her legs professionally! How could it be?!! I desperately wanted to go back to my initial spot next to adorable blond boy. Meantime my Hmm Hmm-s turned into Ugg-hm hmm!! I couldn't help it, because poisitions were getting weirder and more difficult. Couple people around me suddenly hush-ed me. 
OKEY! I have been in doggie style or bunny style many times but these yoga positions were so much harder I thought. There were a lot of stretching, rolling over and bending on my knees involved. My spine was getting into bunch of awkward shapes. 
The names of positions were meaningless to me like fish pose, monkey or king dancer pose. I wonder when time was for moon walking.
Suddenly skinny bitch teacher yelled "Now! All of you taking BOW POSE!" OH MY YOGA GOD! What the fuck was that? I observed the old guy in front of me. I followed him to understand this position. Basically I had to reach my hands back and take of the ankles. 
While I was struggling to keep my balance, the old guy with smelly feet got already in bow pose. In a flash I saw something so disgusting!! One of his balls slide out his short. Swear on my new Gucci bag! I have NEVER seen such a big wrinkled nugget. It was like a enormous dry plum. The worst part it was sooo pink. It seemed almost raw. I panicked and fell off my left side where fat chick. My lips dipped exactly into her major camel toe. She freaked out, I freaked out too! I was almost going vomit to my mouth. Everyone was laughing at me."GLAD to entertain you BITCHES!" Teacher came and helped me to get up. 
He ordered us to get plow pose. Was he kidding me?? Pose required me lifting my legs over my head and touching the floor behind my head as I was lying on my back. 

Truthfully I tried!!!  But I  couldn't do it. Even I made baby noises with my low octave voice " Gurrgg! Uiighhyy!" 
Teacher said " Let me help you!" Shit! I didn't want him to touch me. He forcefully push my legs over my head. And a terrible thing happened. It was very unexpected and spontaneous. Under that pressure I couldn't tighten my abdominal and butt cheeks. I loudly farted. Teacher immediately dropped my legs and sceamed "Gross! Sickening! Yikes!" I couldn't get up from plow pose for couple of seconds. My classmates were furious. As soon as I put myself, I said loudly "So what I farted!! It is not like dangerous OIL SPILL! You won't die. Isn't that yoga all about releasing! So I released something! I dropped little bomb!"
 As you guess I will never go back and do yoga AGAIN! Fuck that NAM-ASS-TE!
