Ok, I'll jump on this bandwagon as well.
I have been seeing that other meme going on as well, the one about the songs and thought about doing that, but you know, I'm really not a music person.
I'd like to be, but I'm just not.
And I think I'd just be mining the same 12 songs that I know and you'd all get bored.
Luckily, thanks to a certain 575 this one came up and this is way more up my alley.
So, prepare to be bored......moreso.
Day 1: Introduce Yourself.
Hi.
I'm Carlos.
I can already tell this is going to be rambling, so prepare.
I'll be hitting 40 this year and I'm not only ok with it. I'm totally excited by it. Something about my upcoming "daddyness" is totally working for me. but the additional aches and pains i've been getting are NOT.
I live in Seattle with my partner and we've been together for 15 years. It still amazes me that we're with each other that long and at the same time, it feels perfectly natural I can't imagine my life without him. I'm sure I'll go more in depth on one of these later entries.
I was born in Los Angeles and have to say, even as a kid, I hated it there.
I don't like a lot of heat and LA is just ugly to me. I still don't like it and can barely tolerate visiting it.
I come from a big Mexican family (I'm one of 4 boys, two of us are gay) but my dad was one of 11 and my mom was one of 7 so we were surrounded by family all the time and I have to say I think that has been one of the best things about my childhood. I think my being comfortable in a crowded room is due to always being surrounded by people.
The funny this is now that I'm an adult, I never talk to my family.
But I'm trying to work on that.
My own family consists of Jim and I. Our dogs, Pearl and Miles and two years ago, Jim's niece joined us. She's 16 now and I'd like to say it's been a good experience. But it really hasn't.
It will be good in the end....for her.
I hope.
I love my friends.
I really do.
I think sometimes they wonder because my sense of humor isn't always the nicest.
But I think I fall into that whole, "I hurt the ones closest to me" kind of thing.
I try not to.
But it happens.
I really love looking at hairy bearded boys.
YUM!
