Controversial I know, but I’m thinking that I should be dating. I have been determinably single for the last 9 months but I’ve got this rather odd feeling that there may be something missing in my life. Can’t quite put my finger on it. I love being single, love it. Having an absolute ball … [Read more...]
I’m not exactly a spring chicken. I often joke that I am a middle-aged queen and refer to myself as ‘a man of a certain age’. To be specific, I’m 39 and now only a matter of months away from the big 4-0. I can not wait for this massive celebration and as a general rule I don’t think I … [Read more...]
To the uninitiated, Big Gay Weekend is a fabulous series of parties and events co-ordinated as a fundraiser for the wonderful people at New Mardi Gras. Some of you may remember Sleaze Ball, well that has been replaced by a 3 day extravanganza. The Gays must be increasing in their stamina. Before … [Read more...]
I’m having issues with body hair. In the most part because I am a ‘man of a certain age…’ and there just seems to be more of it. The second reason is that now social occasions determine a certain hair aesthetic, a cultural requirement. These are the pressure I currently face. Lets … [Read more...]
As a general rule I like people. When I am around people I know I have a good time. I’m relaxed. I’m not good with new people. New people scare me. The running joke at work is that it can be years before I remember your name. It’s the whole polite thing that makes me nervous. I’m not very … [Read more...]
Oh dear. I am a princess after all. I thought being nearly 40, carrying a few extra kg and not shaving as often meant that perhaps I was manning-up in my older age. No. It does not. I am as big a princess as ever. My friend The Sculptor has found a community he loves hanging out with, the Bears. … [Read more...]
In just over a week I will have landed in Bangers! No better place to spend your 39th Birthday than Bangkok. I’m fleeing the city for the big day cause there ain’t much to celebrate at 39. That’s not because I’m unhappy or anything, but with the huge celebration of my 40th fast approaching, … [Read more...]
I'm getting pretty organised with this blogging thing now and I've even been known to put some thought and planning into it. I was planning on an insightful, witty piece for today on the weird things about being single but yesterday left me very sad, tense and with the shits. Here are the reasons … [Read more...]
You may find what I'm about to say shocking and disturbing. I’ve got a horrible, horrible feeling that I am in the early stages of a mid-life crisis. I don’t want to prematurely inflame the situation but I really get the sense I am only a few years off the stereotypically tragic midlife crisis … [Read more...]
I swear my watch just jumped forward six days! If I didn’t know better I'd say I've been cast in a bad sci-fi movie about time travel (I got the role over Eric Bana). Since drinks with Mummy-Bloggers it feels like 6 days got crammed into 24hours. 99% of my life I’m sitting on the couch, eating … [Read more...]
