Sober Moment 4.12.09

It's not all partying and drankin' with D. Kareem.  The sober moment posts are just going to say what's on my mind.  More what I'm thinking; less what I'm doing.   

I joined DaddyHunt.com 2 summers ago after seeing an ad at the Eagle.  I thought it would be all hot, older bear/otter guys.  There were a few, but… well, let’s just say I never actually met up with anyone from the site and stopped using it after a couple of months.  Every few months or so, I get an email from DaddyHunt, but I don’t recall anything called a virtual grope.

I just wish the picture had loaded in the email.  Yes, I have a yahoo account.  Sue me.

In actual grope-related news, Friday marks the half-way mark in the 10-week Beach-Body Workout Plan.  I’ll have to remember to take some up the weights b/c this shit isn’t working fast enough progress pics.

Totally unrelated, I had a very awkward moment that wasn’t so sober on Saturday night.  I was in an elevator with Bologna and about 5 other people on the way to a house party.  I think someone coughed or talked about throwing up (fuzzy memory but it was some action that would have spread a cold).  I laughed and said something like, “Oh great, now everyone has AIDS.”  Bologna stopped, glared at me, and said, “Dude, that’s totally not funny.”  I took it down a notch and admitted, “You’re right dude.  That was totally inappropriate to say.”  . o O (But did you have to call me out like that in front of people?)

I didn’t give it (or anything else) much thought that night, but today, I was thinking about the awkwardness of the situation.  I’m kind of glad that Bologna called me out the way he did.  I wouldn’t say to go around and correct people in front of crowds: it’s not a very wise way to keep friends*.  But it was definitely not cool for me to make a statement like that, drunk or not.  And someone in the elevator may have learned at my expense, something of which I’m often an advocate.  'I wasn't thinking' is an oft-used excuse, but really, I should have been thinking.

So props to that bitch for being so bold because one never knows who has just recently or ever [insert awful consequence] to [insert stigmatized condition].  I’m usually more sensitive than that, and it’s something to which I should have paid more attention.


*I'm glad Bologna had the balls to call me on that.  It was kind of embarrassing, but unless he made a major judgement that night, we'll continue as we were before.
