Monday, Monday…Sometimes It Just Turns Out That Way

Today is a mixed bag of this-and that:

01. My Beijing Olympics hard-on has continued without abatement. (If your erection lasts longer than four hours, contact your physician immediately.) I now know more about kayaking, field hockey and synchronized swimming than any one gay man should know. But, I just cannot get enough.

02. Is it wrong that I basically want to sleep with the entire U.S. men’s Olympic water polo team? (And by sleep with, I mean, no such thing.) I am such a slut for men in Speedos. (Though, honestly, I would demand they take those caps off.)

03. I’ve come to the conclusion that I want Dan, Renny or Memphis to win Big Brother 10. I’m also pretty sure I want to sleep with (see above) Memphis and Dan–at least once.

04. Why is it when I am invited to a nice, friendly cocktail party, I am invariably the guy that the supposedly straight one will hit on? While I’ve been known to take in a stray puppy or cat now and then, I really have to draw the line at men who don’t know which side of that line they’re on. (That’s not to say I haven’t exchanged saliva with one or two “straight” guys. I mean, I am charitable.)

05. I’m really so OVER the whole McCain v. Obama rigmarole. I don’t think I’ve ever been as disillusioned with U.S. politics as I am currently. I know deep down I don’t mean this, but as it is now…GWB might as well just vacation in the White House when his turn is over.

06. The new blood-drenched teaser on Showtime Too for the third season of ‘Dexter’ is sublimely wicked. I await the Season 2 DVD set with serial-bated breath.

07. I hope your Monday is filled with complete surprises and good things. We all could use a good thing about now.

\'One World, One Dream\'

I have been hopelessly transfixed by the Beijing Olympics. From the utter brilliance and majesty of the glorious Opening Ceremonies to the phenomenon that is Mr. Michael Phelps, I have been glued to my television for more hours than I care to admit. I think that Opening Ceremonies program has set the hallmark standard by which all future cities will be judged. From the LED scroll, the scrim around the stadium–and my personal favorite movable printing blocks–the program combined history, Chinese culture, technology and the hope for a better future together in a flawless tapestry.

Mr. Michael Phelps

I’ve watched swimming, basketball, diving, field hockey, water polo, handball, gymnastics…well, you kind of get the picture. I’m a junkie–and I’ve been watching at all hours. It’s 5:15 a.m. at the moment and I’m watching women’s field hockey on USA. That men’s 4 x 100m relay race nearly killed me. Mr. Jason Lezak was incredible. I’ve run out of superlatives for the Phelps Phenomenon. Elsewhere, I want Mr. Matt Grevers to be one of my ex-boyfriends.

As I look forward to Mr. Phelps attempts at two more gold medals this evening, today marks my 43rd year on this wacky planet. I’m finding that I am really loving my forties (who’d of thunk it?).

Another year older, but definitely a few dreams stronger.

Beijing Alert: Nick Symmonds

Mr. Nick Symmonds

I’m already getting very excited for the Beijing Olympic Games to begin. Last night was an incredible prelude at the U.S. Track & Field Trials currently being held in Eugene, Oregon. The highlight of a thrill-packed evening had to be the incredible 800-meter final run by Boise-native Nick Symmonds.

The 24-year-old Willamette University grad showed a great amount of determination and skill by escaping being boxed-in at the back of the pack and accelerating on the final turn, posting a career best 1:44.10 and taking the top spot. The exciting finish was an exclamation point to a superb race that saw Oregonians sweep the top three spots and punch their tickets to Beijing.

Nick Symmonds is definitely one to watch in August 2008.
