I really do need to get better with this blog business, so much goes on that I want to write about, but I always forget. Its been a second, more like a minute, since I last posted. With the Christmas Parties, holiday shopping, gift wrapping and new year approaching, I have been very occupied. A good occupied if I must say so. I am excited about what the new year has in store for me, so anxious to take it on. I am also excited about going to California January 1, 2008 to visit old friends from when I lived in Los Angeles, it should be a wonderful experience.

I guess the biggest thing going on in my life right now, is me rearranging my friendship circle and cutting certain people out of my life, that are dead weight, which will not be tolerated in 2008. I have a lot of numbers in phone, emails in my sidekick, of people who I have no interest in having in my life, unfortunate right? Its not me being shadey, its just the realization that I need to surround myself with people that I can have a relationship with outside of the club and social gossip. I want more friends who are mature, responsible, and have some class. My friends often call me stuck up or saddity, I am neither by far, I just have class. I recently went to a Christmas party, absolutely wonderful ! It was a nice catered christmas gathering in a beautiful home in Upper Marlboro, MD. Each person had to bring a ornament to represent themselves to hang on the tree. We drank wine, had a nice dinner and just socialized. Everyone was dressed nice and casual...UNTIL...some old friends of mine came through the door. First, it was 5 people, only 2 were invited. How dare you treat someone's Christmas Party at their home as a free for all, and bring people who were not invited. They also had the nerve to have on club gear, forgive me but gold chains, skinny jeans, high top vans, and members only jackets are not proper attire for a christmas party. I was so embarrassed that I even knew them.

On the ride home, I got to thinking why did it bother me? I came to the conclusion that because while living in Los Angeles I did PR, the first thing you learn is that people are always watching. Due to that, I am always cautious of what I do and how I act in public. Am I wrong? I never hide who I really am, but at the same time I try not to devour chicken in public the same way I do at home. I always try to dress the part for events and outings, I do not use loud vulgar language in public, and I certainly dont eat with my elbows on the table in restaurants.

It saddens me because I struggle to find intelligent, classy, mature, responsible, hard working gay black men my age in Baltimore. Its pathetic. If they arent in the closet or dl, then they are in a "house" , 29 in their moms basement, or jobless. I mean people come on, help me out here.
