Well hmm. It feels like time for the obligatory "I'm a gay man and as such I need to start back working out" post. In all honesty it's been months since I've put any real effort into my workouts and somehow right now "I ain't bothered."
My head isn't caught in the sand. I know that I'll soon be running back to ensure I'm in shape for my trip back home to the Caribbean next month.Caribbean = beaches.
For now however, I'm quite happy missing gym to do impromptu happy hours or even just going home, kicking back and watching tv. Any gay men got an issue with that?
This is where having a fast metabolism actually comes in handy.

#83: in a heartbeat
Twice I've said goodbye to him within the past 6 months. The joy of spending time with DT cut short way too soon. Each time due to us living on opposite sides of the Atlantic.
Cooking together, exploring an amazing city, going out, staying in, every moment where an unstoppable clock counted down to us being apart.
Twice...and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Over and over again. Completely worth it.
When that that clock reached 0 today, a new clock began. A countdown until I next see him again. The excitement building.
This most recent time together even more special because of 3 short words with such immense meaning: I LOVE YOU.

#82: timing is everything
I was in my shower this morning when I realized (again) that DT and I were both living in NYC during the last few months of 2007 but it took him returning to London and me working in London for a few months for our own mini worlds to cross.
I wonder if I had ever walked right past him without knowing. Without having the slightest idea that just over a year later that we'd be as connected to each other as we were while I was in London and even now.
What would have happened if we had met back then? Probably nothing as he was dating someone at the time and we were probably both a bit different back then; would we even have been friends?
This takes me to my main point:-
Timing is everything. It's the difference between a stranger and a lifelong friend, between the same and a lover and the main thing guiding our experiences in life.

#81: DT is here
As promised this post is indeed about DT finally being on this side of the Atlantic even if only for a few short days. His trip is about halfway over and I feel like it's ending way too quickly and I'm almost already missing him and he hasn't even left yet.
That being said I have been having one hell of a good time exploring the city from his viewpoint.
He actually used to live here so he's opened my eyes to new places. New places to eat, hang and even parts of the city that I never before gave paid much attention to (like 10th Avenue).
I've been looking forward to this trip for quite some time and I've not been disappointed in the least at least until he inevitbly leaves that is. I'll deal with that when the time comes around however. Until then I will just do my best to enjoy the time he is here.

#80: a post about posts
I've let the fact that I've had multiple people visiting me for the past few weeks (and this is actually set to continue) prevent me from allocating much time to this blog. It's bad I know and thanks to those who asked if I was still around. I am indeed!
Also, many times (and always at the most random moments) entire blog entries have been crafted in my head, only to be forgotten by the time I sit down to write anything. Given that I now have e-mail access on the go with a nifty new smartphone I've decided to begin typing posts as they come to me wherever I am.
This could be on the subway on my way to/from work, during lunch or even just walking down the street. Hopefully this will lead to less "forgotten" posts because a few of the ones that came to me and are now long gone seemed like really good ones.
Anyways this is a post about doing more posts so best to keep out short. It's probably already too long. Being succinct was never my strong suit. :)
My next post will no doubt be about a certain DT currently visiting me from London :)
