Summer
Summer is going really well actually, I'm enjoying a lot of it seeing as it's jam packed full of events. Already I've seen four movies: Up, Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The last one was viewed at midnight with Tina George my brother and, yes, my mother. She voluntarily asked to come out to the theater with us at midnight, she is so cool. : )
I also went to a concert, Jack's Mannequin with The Fray. I wasn't overall impressed by the Fray as much as I was for JM, partly due to the fact I think I knew all of JM's songs and was more hyped for him, since I thought JM was the main act. The Fray was alright, but I was ambivalent save for a few songs. Andrew McMahon, however, remains my favorite artist of the year, the boy has a lot of heart and enthusiasm for his work. Between playing piano ballads and rocking out while standing on his piano, he knows how to get you pumped. He reminds me of me during karaoke, if only...ya know? I'd gladly see him again in concert, equipped with my new camera, a panasonic ZS1.
I've been pondering my love life intermittently lately, but I've kept my mind off from a point I'm holding onto for the time being: I'm going to be alone for a while, I'm not likely to like someone who is interested in me, and neither are those I'm interested in going to like me. And somehow, I just have to be happy with that idea of being with myself and shrug off everyone else in the gay world. I've been lucky to have my friends around from undergrad and that they all still somehow stayed in the area, but yeah, in terms of dating, I'm going to be alone, I can no more be excited over a guy, to avoid being hurt, I've got to just stay disinterested and roll it off. I think I'm tired of being nice to these people. Though I don't know if it's good to write off everyone, I'm just tired of all it comes with. I'd rather stick with my college friends and have a guy that fits in it. I'd like one, just not motivated right now. Though nothing ventured, nothing gained...
