Go, Johnny Weir

I think that to be the person you are to the world fearlessly without giving a flying fuck about what anybody else thinks is pretty much a definition of courage – definitely a manly virtue. Go, Johnny, Go!

The Butch Factor, and where the hell do I fit in?

Hey, don’t answer that!

I’ve never thought I was very butch, but then again, it’s not something I think about often, if at all. Maybe if I did, I’d be more studly, but I digress…. I really enjoyed Christopher Hines’ documentary The Butch Factor, which profiles a wide variety of gay men (and one – at least –  transman) and their feelings about masculinity and what all goes into it, etc. Most importantly, how earlier life situations shaped expectations  – or didn’t.

There were a number of Bay Area interviewees and locations, and I recognized one fellow from the Gold’s Gym SOMA – next to Dolby – where I used to work out when I lived there. There was a nice selection of guys on gay athletic teams – for me at least, a group I don’t hear much from in the gay press or otherwise. Also, a great section on black gay athletes, something I don’t believe I’ve ever seen.

It is not like a hard buy cialis levitra tablet or any sort of refreshments. However, if a man is suffering from some specific stomach disorders, he should be recommended to wouroud.com viagra sale with taking meal. Ginseng: Ginseng is another potent herb which improves the energy levels pfizer viagra australia of a person. This leads to viagra for sale india weight gain–middle aged spread and eventually to conventional sexual relations. There did seem to be an emphasis on the bear scene as the current pinnacle of a masculine ideal in the community (that is only because we can’t make the Tom of Finland cartoons actually come to life).  I’d love to see someone take on the obesity issue as well, or as a part of it – there were plenty of shots of shirtless bears hanging out and socializing, etc., and I couldn’t help but focus on the unhealthy aspects of these guys being, well, fat. Someone else’s big fat guy is another man’s big beautiful bear. OK. Maybe it’s because I’ve been in Michael Pollan-land, now reading his In Defense of Food as a follow-up to The Omnivore’s Dilemma – but I’m getting off-track.

A thought-provoking and well-made documentary. It’s on netflix. He’s working on something called The Adonis Factor, which is scheduled for this summer. Can’t wait.

Palm Springs in My Future?

My tenants at the condo gave their notice this week. Since they’re leaving in mid-March, I’m wondering if this is the time to make that move again.

More Land to Become Part of Griffith Park (hopefully!)

Here’s a link to a story about some land near the Hollywood sign which was privately owned. It’s being purchased by a group which intends to make it part of the park, as opposed to more mega-mansion homesites. A piece of good news!

"Kept" first paragraph

I wrote out this graf from my script Kept in novel form to use for a UCLA homework assignment this coming week. I’m actually thinking of novelizing a few of my movie scripts, self-publishing them and selling the potboilers on the internet.

“Jorge Gomez wasn’t really paying attention to the novela, using it mostly for cover noise, as he always did. His hand shook as he fitted the blue contacts into his dark brown eyes, which would make him look exotic, or at least like a Brazilian. He checked out the deal in the mirror tacked up between the upper and lower bunk. Nicely compact and smooth, nobody would know he’d just been standing in his momma’s double-wide in Indio and not in a hotel lobby a half block from the beach at Ipanema. Reaching under the mattress, he grabbed his drivers license with the name “George Gomes”, the four twenty dollar bills, and shoved the beefcake magazine “Macho” – which showed a cover of a naked blond gringo with a big fat dick – further back toward the wall.”

New Benediction Reviews, CES on the way

In the last couple of days Benediction got a couple more reviews, one from Victor Banis (posted on examiner.com and will be on several other book review sites t/c) and one from Carol Hoyer over at ReaderViews.  Both are posted on eurekastreetpress.com. Take a look!

Now that the holidaze are over the job search gets into high gear – so I’m going to CES in Vegas Friday and Saturday (driving up Thursday and back Saturday night – or maybe Sunday morning) to find out what’s new and what companies might be hot prospects to contact for freelance (or other) work. Seems every year more and more content providers have an interest in the show, and I know that this year all ebook platforms will be showing their stuff – which, of course, interests me for Benediction. It’s currently available as a Kindle download but not with other e-formats. When I was in NYC last month, I took a look at the Barnes & Noble “nook” at the store where my 89-year-old aunt still works (a 40 hour week, she is frakking amazing) and I imagine everyone else will be on that bandwagon, too.

New Gay Filmmaker Group in New York (oh, and Happy New Year, too!)

Hey everybody, happy new year, even that salutation gets a little old after about 10 am on New Year’s Day (or maybe only to those of us with short attention spans?) and it’s already January 2.

I actually went out this NYE, to a bar first (The LA Eagle) and then to a sober celebration just down the street. Now I know why I don’t go out on New Year’s Eve. Truthfully, both venues were fine and each had it’s attractions (the Eagle – lots of hairy, muscular men; the sober celebration, diet root beer, food, and lots of people I knew) but the noise level at both really got to me much more quickly than I thought it would. Luckily, my partner in crime (Harry W) wanted to leave at 12:01 am just like I did so the entire affair wasn’t painfully drawn out.

You’re probably thinking, geez, he’s just no fun AT ALL. Now just calm down. So this post will give you something that does sound like fun:

There’s a new gay filmmakers group in New York. Meeting monthly at the Gay Center there, this nascent group of film artists is looking for a project, and considering several short scripts which have been posted on their site, GayFilmmakersNYC, including one of mine, Hell for the Holidays. You can read a pdf of it there.

I think it’s a great idea to bring together folks interested in making movies as that world is so incredibly collaborative and it is so hard to get a movie made, even if you have a story, even if you have people, even if you have some money. It’s just like pushing a 3-ton rock up a gravel hill. The group makes it easier, and I’m looking forward to seeing some interesting things to come out of this.

If you’re interested and live in NYC, by all means check them out. I think you can even become a member if you don’t live there, but the interaction would be limited, but it looks like they’re posting most things online, and they’ve got some great referrals, which I only suppose will grow.
