Hey Kids!!
If you have not seen the clip above...you need to watch! Key and Peele are a hilarious duo and show. My friends and I were quoting this all last weekend during Gay Pride in NYC after the supreme court ruling...lol "We getting married!!"
SOooo I finally had a vacation after about a year and a half. I'm sure my one fan will probably say that I've had plenty of time off from work because of school breaks and going home to NC to visit family, etc. Ummm that's not a vacation to me. A vacation to me is when I plan to go somewhere, save my money to get there and then do nothing but lay on a beach or by a pool or get drunk and meet new people in cities I don't live in or were born/grew up in. So this year being the first year in I can't even remember how long I was not taking any summer classes or having to do school work, etc. I was able to really enjoy myself. I went to a resort in Cancun, Mexico for a dear friend's 50th birthday. That was a lot of fun! If you have never stayed at an all inclusive resort I HIGHLY recommend it! I mean top self liquor and food anytime I wanted it! And best of all...it was already paid for! Yeah I had a mini orgasm a couple hours after I got there and had already had about 5 Grey Gooses on the rocks and realized that I hadn't even made it to my room yet and that I had 4 other days to go. It was a great time...met some hot guys and made some new friends...all in all a wonderful trip.
Once I got back from Mexico, I hopped on a plane and went to NYC and Philly for a week. So Philly was interesting I actually got a chance to see more of Philly than the tourist spots like Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, which I have been to more than I care to mention. I stayed with one of my buddies who just moved there from Atlanta. I was there for a couple days. Nothing really to report while there except that Uber and I became besties lol.
After a couple days in Philly, I headed to New York City. Instead of taking the train I decided to give MegaBus a try. Now I was very concerned about MegaBus because it's cheap and it's become very popular. And that's usually a recipe for disaster. You know certain elements love to partake in cheap popular things lol. So I did make sure I got a reserved seat, which was the best decision I made that entire week. There was wifi and power outlets on the bus and the best part of all the guy who ended up in the seat beside was soooo cute and soooo my type. We sparked a conversation over the power outlets and ended up in his hotel room once we got to NYC!!
Okay let me stop. That's what I wanted to happen lol. What really happened was neither one of spoke to the other. I didn't get any gay vibes from him so I took it he was straight. When I was struggling to get my phone plugged up in one of the outlets he offered his assistance. So that showed me he wasn't an asshole. He had headphones on the entire time and I know when I do that it means I don't want to be bothered so I gave him that courtesy. I put mine in too and enjoyed the scenery traveling by bus offers. It was a very relaxing ride and I'd definitely do it again. I just hope all my MegaBus experiences include a charming Bostonian bus driver complete with a thick Boston Accent and a hatred for the Yankees!
So while in NYC I met up with some friends from Houston. A friend and his partner from Miami were also in the city ready to have a good time. One was in town for business and the other was there for vacation (we coordinated it like that). It was a good trip. I didn't do all of the shenanigans that I usually do while in NYC. I guess maybe I'm growing up. I went to the gay pride parade for the first time and it was definitely a sight to see. It wasn't like any gay pride parade I'd ever seen before. I was so overwhelmed by the crowd, participants and just the over all atmosphere I became a little emotional. So of course I held myself together because that's what all butch gay boys do. But while eating lunch with my friends and reminiscing about the parade and in particular the PFLAG portion and a father and son came walking, embracing and showing how much they love each other and are proud of the other. The father was holding a sign that said "I love my gay son." When I recalled that moment I could no longer hold in my emotions and had a little break down. But luckily I was amongst close friends and they knew how to handle me in this situation. 1. Give me my space and 2. Only talk about it if I want too and never mention it again.

But all in all it was a great trip. Did my first Bear Booze cruise. But it was a dry cruise for me because it was cash bar only and I only had a credit card. But the SIGHTS both on the boat and surrounding it were worth it for me. I love NYC and one day I'm going to see what it's like to live there.
So I got to ask, how was your summer vacation?
