It is seldom the case that when a person meets another there are instant reactions and perceptions of attraction. Let’s face it the process of pairing up and the one of seeking a soul mate and even a casual sex partner is at best erratic and sporadic. This is the reason that even if you run across some drop-dead gorgeous guy at a bar the probabilities are they are not good lover material. Yes, they could seem very attractive, but when you get to know them, they are duds.
Nevertheless, the process of looking and cruising the bars can be a lot of fun, albeit it can also be very frustrating and at times the rejection becomes overwhelming. I have often said that if I ran across a person that resembled me physically or that was similar to me in personality and beliefs that I would fall in love. Now, that may seem terribly narcissistic an conceited of me but consider this, I am not unhappy with my looks, nor am I dissatisfied with my body which I take care of almost fastidiously, and my dick is big by any standards, if you think that the average size is about six inches, I surpass the average by a few inches.
I am not limited by hang ups and in bed I am quite versatile, I have learned through the years techniques and tricks to please a bed partner, and I wish that whoever goes to bed with me would know half of what I know and do in bed. That would satisfy me sexually and make me happy.
This brings me to my ultimate and hopefully what I thought was my last sexual search. At a bar in Fort Lauderdale one late afternoon I was flirting with a very attractive guy from Denmark, he was the typical Nordic God, good build, beautiful face, killer eyes and a very sweet disposition. As I was seating at this bar stool facing him, behind me sat a person I had not noticed because I was so busy coming on to my Danish friend. When it was time for him to leave, he asked for my e-mail address and I started to write it down on one of those cards the bar provides, you know the kind, it even has a rating system, and I wrote: Ricky5@hotmail.com. The fellow sitting next to me, smiled and asked: “Ricky5? Does that mean you have five inches?” To which I replied: “Hell no, I happen to have ten!” the then said: “In that case, I too want your e-mail address”.
Since he was at the bar with somebody, I did not insist nor did I come on to him as I assumed he was on a date or even with his partner. The truth is, I did not think much of it and did not think he would even contact me. That particular day I was wearing my butch drag: black worker’s boots, tight 501 ripped jeans and a red flannel shirt with the sleeves ripped off to show off my biceps. I also wore a baseball cap backwards and it made me look younger and a bit on the rough side, projecting a bad boy image. I even had applied a temporary tattoo on my left arm, as I wanted to see what it would look like before I made a commitment to a permanent one. All in all, I think that if I had seen somebody who looked like that I would have picked him up in a New York minute.
A couple of weeks passed and I received an e-mail from the fellow that was sitting next to me. He reminded me of who he was and it took me some time to recall the incident. He said in his e-mail that at the time he met me he was having troubles with his partner and they were in the process of ending the relationship. The guy with him was a dear friend and they were celebrating a bowling victory and also some therapy for him to get over his now failed
relationship. He said in essence that he was attracted to me and thought we should have a date and see if we could get intimate. 
At the time and place agreed, which was the same bar, about the same time we met only three weeks later, we were to meet and go to dinner from there after a drink. I was filled with excitement and looking forward to this almost blind date. I got all spiffy and dressed up, I cleaned up my act. I wore nice dress shoes, slacks and a long sleeve shirt which was laundered and ironed to perfection. I even put on some cologne, which is unusual for me. It is amusing what happened next. I got there and ordered a drink, went over to the opposite side of the bar and lit a cigarette while I sipped on the drink waiting for my date.
To my surprise, when I started to look at the people sitting at the bar, I saw the fellow I was to meet. He was already there waiting for me only he was with some other guy. He kept looking my way and talking to his companion. I did think at that point that maybe the relationship was back on and that was his other half. Once in a while, he would look my way and smile sweetly, and once, I waved, he waved back. This went on for almost half an hour when I finally decided to walk over, introduce myself and see what would happen.
I said: “Hi, my name is Richard, I was to meet somebody here but they have not shown up” My statement was meant as an alibi in case he wanted to deny the whole thing to his lover. But he said: “Now, isn’t that funny, I was supposed to meet somebody named Richard here tonight”, my name is Joshua” I realized then that he had not recognized me. “Joshua, nice to meet you, but don’t you realize that I am the person you were to meet here tonight?” His face went red as he flushed from the embarrassment. ”Oh, it is just that you look so different, I would never have thought you were the same person”.
That was the start of the greatest love affair of my life. I debated whether to go to bed that same day and risking he would think I was a slut. But I thought that the sex aspect is very important and if it is not going to work out that way we would find out right away. Sex is to me one of the most important parts of any love relationship, so that being attracted to each other and compatible in bed is a good foundation, I think that if I don’t hear bells and see fireworks on that first orgasm, the affair is not going to go anywhere, so when Joshua invited me to come over, I knew what it was for and I accepted.
He lived in a high rise building, very posh and notorious for being one of the gayest in the city. It is said that over 80 % of the residents are gay. So when he told me where he lived I assumed that he was very promiscuous, which he was, up to that point, he would have many tricks every night and even after we were an item, there would still be guys ringing his doorbell at all hours of the night hoping to get serviced. I am not one to talk, I have to admit that I should get the Congressional Medal of Honor for the service I have provided our country; many men would have gone to sleep horny had it not been for me. So, whatever Joshua was before I met him did not concern me much. 
Our love making session that first night was incredible. We took turns sucking each other; we took turns fucking each other. Joshua was a blond version of me only 10 years younger. His cock was of gargantuan proportions, as long as mine but thicker. His body was nice too and his face like that of a model with the bluest eyes that would change to green according to the weather or what he wore. The guy was no loser either, he made a pretty good living as a mortgage broker, so I was not concerned about being taken advantage of. Joshua later told me that when I was standing over him fucking him that in the half shadow of the night he thought I was a twink fucking him.
Eventually the economy went to hell and all the mortgage companies either closed or let most of their employees go. Joshua became one of these casualties. Since he had been working in this field for a long time, it would have been impossible to either wait it out or even try to find something in the mortgage field so he decided to return to school and get his nursing degree. He also agreed to relocate to Eagle Pass and we now live in the plantation style house that is more like a mansion than a house. The lovemaking is still as titillating although it has decreased in frequency as my responsibilities with the business at times complicate things and we can not be together. I have over a thousand employees in our operations. We have the hired help we need to maintain this large property. There is a gardener, a full time cleaning lady, our houseboy and a chef that works 3 days a week with us and at the country club on the weekends. Life is good
This morning I caught an interview on national television where Martin Townsend One People was being interviewed as a result of his best seller. He is so photogenic and handsome he can give any Hollywood icon a run for their money. He was talking about the crimes committed against the Brazilian Indians and how the deforestation is destroying their habitat. He is a powerful voice for the environment and defender of human rights. I was now totally proud and sure that he was performing a useful role in society. 
Let me be very clear about this: I do not recommend having unprotected sex. I do not care to tell you how many times I have had the crabs and the clap twice. Yes, I have engaged in risky behavior and I may be the exception to the rule as I am still HIV negative. It has been a lot of fun but I now have a partner and into a very strong monogamous relationship.

President Obama addresses both houses of Congress
The long awaited speech the President was to give happened last night and to the surprise of many it was positively the best he has ever delivered. His speech was deemed by most to be of historical relevance and as spirited and concise as any Obama had delivered in the past.
There were a few deviations in the general message, but not the surrendering of the Public Option which is now clear that President Obama has not read well the general consensus of the people of America who wanted Universal Health Care.
It is understandable that the President started out to be bipartisan and inclusive. It is so obvious that he has bent over backwards to accommodate the Republicans but the reality is beginning to set in: the Republicans have been able to obtain a lot of concessions, a lot of revisions, and a lot of amendments and they have given up nothing. They are still adamant, obtrusive and downright confrontational. Nothing is more revealing than watching the Republicans either stoically listening or brooding, shaking their heads and even text messaging while the President spoke. It tell us a lot more than I am sure the Republicans want us to perceive.
The legislation that will be engendered after this speech coul be so meaningless and ineffective that we might as well not have had anything; or it could end up being the change that was needed. This all remains to be seen as the days go by and we get a sense of how the public and the Congress embrace the President’s proposals.
If President Obama has squandered his political capital on a dud, a failed health care legislation that will have little impact on the regulation of insurance companies and even a lesser impact on the lives of the American people. The health care crisis will only get worse. On the other hand, if this speech is effective it will translate into an overwhelming support from the constituents and the members of Congress.
The 2010 midterm elections are now a big enigma. Will the voters punish the Democrats for not being able to pass legislation they wanted and needed? Will the voters direct their frustrations to the Republicans who stood in the way and obstructed and sabotaged all efforts for a sensible piece of legislation?
I think that all the lies, the disruptive town hall meetings will not be easily forgotten and that the voter, no matter how uninformed will remember the efforts of Republicans to sabotage this needed legislation and all the August acri
monious protests they engendered.
Some of the memorable quotes from the President: "time for bickering is over", Obama said the changes he has in mind would cost about $900 billion over decade, "less than we have spent on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and less than the tax cuts for the wealthiest few Americans" passed during the Bush administration. He said what I consider will be the defining statement of this speech whether the Health Care legislation gets passed or defeated: "I am not the first president to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last."
The Republicans offered a rebuttal immediately after by some obscure Louisianna doctor who in my opinion had it not been for how tragically misguided it was, it would have been laughable. The essence of the rebuttal was that “we should scrap this legislation proposal and start all over again” in typical Republican obstructionist mode and in trying to delay it like they did before the Congressional break so that they would have more time to spread lies and confuse Americans.
But I guess President Obama said it all with “the time for bickering is over.”

Is Government the problem or the solution?
President Reagan was a very good communicator and an even better demagogue; delivered a very poignant Inauguration speech where he used a lot of one liners and was able to convey general contempt for the role of government in our society. This was music to the ears of those on the extreme right fringe and it won the hearts of millions of Americans who thought of themselves as Conservative. When you ask any Conservative what they stand for, invariably they will cite Reagan’s claim that the government is the problem and that we want them out of our lives.
In retrospect, Reagan was right, only he was not referring to the excesses of the two Bushes, father and son, both sank this country into a regrettable state of affairs. When you think of what these men did you can’t help but think that it is absolutely true that Government is the problem: The Government under Bush 41 went to war in Kuwait to protect oil interests, not really to liberate the Kiwatis. Although Bush the father was not as radical to the right as his son, he failed to actually go in and topple the government of Sadam Hussein at a time when most of the world would have been favorable to do so.
The second Bush outdid his father in so many ways, all of them negative and catastrophic for America. Some of the worst things he did: Tax cuts for the rich, lying about WMDs to get us into an unnecessary and expensive war that has cost our young thousands of lives, employing unthinkable, illegal and immoral torture on prisoners, the dismantling of all regulations that kept the financial sector honest and sound and eventually gave us the worst economic crisis in history only second to the Great Depression; the empowerment of the religious right pandering to their insistence in turning this country into a theocracy and muddying the lines of separation of Church and State. I could go on, but you probably have heard it all before. But if you look at it this way, perhaps Reagan was right in saying that government is the problem.

Pepsi Too Gay for Mega church: Religion Enters the Cola Wars
by Kilian Melloy
EDGE Staff Reporter
Wednesday Sep 9, 2009
Having decided that Pepsi is too gay-friendly, a mega church has officially adopted Coke as its cola of choice.
A Sept. 9 article in the South Florida Sun Sentinel, posted at Web site PalmBeachPost.com, reports that mega church member Terry Kemple, who presides over the Community Issues Council, has persuaded the Bell Shoals Baptist Church, a Brandon, Fla. mega church, to endorse a boycott of Pepsi. As part of that boycott, the 10 soda machines that used to dispense Pepsi products now vend Coca-Cola beverages instead.
The reason, Kemple says, is that Pepsi "advocates the acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle."
Kemple points to Pepsi having contributed money--more than $1 million in all, according to the article--to groups that fought to preserve marriage equality in California during last year’s battle over Proposition 8, the deeply divisive voter initiative that put the rights of gay families up to popular vote,
with the result that the measure barely squeaked by and revoked marriage rights in that state.
The article cited Kemple as further claiming that Pepsi has supported Pride events.
The article quoted Kemple as saying that Pepsi has "begun to utilize the money we’ve helped them build up to trample on what we consider family values."
The mega church to which Kemple belongs had previously denounced Pepsi’s policies toward GLBT issues and employees, denouncing the diversity training that Pepsi employees undergo.
The article said that the Bell Shoals Baptist Church issued a "Christian Awareness Report" in which the claim was made that "Pepsi... forces its employees to attend sexual orientation and gender identity diversity training, where they are taught to accept homosexuality."
The church’s refusal to stock Pepsi on its premises is not the first criticism that anti-gay religious groups have aimed at PepsiCo; in an email circulated last July 14 by Donald E. Wildmon, the president of the anti-gay American Family Association, Pepsi was accused of supporting GLBT employees while refusing to extend resources to those seeking to "convert" to heterosexuality.
Wildmon denounced PepsiCo’s support of a summit offered by Out & Equal Workplace Advocates, claiming that, "The Out & Equal Workshop meetings are designed to show corporate leaders how they can promote the homosexual agenda in their corporation," and declaring, "In becoming a sponsor of the Out & Equal conference PepsiCo has once again refused to give any support to those who are hurting and want to come out of this destructive and aberrant lifestyle."
This year’s annual summit is scheduled to take place between Oct. 6-9 at a Florida resort.
Mental health authorities in the U.S. and England caution that there is no evidence that efforts at so-called "reparative therapy," which religious groups promote as a means of "curing" gays, actually works, and advise that the therapy may be harmful.
The Sun Sentinel article quoted the executive director of Equality Florida, Nadine Smith, as saying, "The irony is that--in moving from Pepsi products to Coke products--they actually switched from one company that supports full-equality to another company that supports full-equality."
The article pointed out that PepsiCo also owns a number of other companies, including cereal company Quaker, sports drink giant Gatorade, and snack foods firm Frito-Lay.
The article did not say whether Kemple’s church intended to boycott those and other PepsiCo concerns, such as Taco Bell.
However, the article did quote Kemple as offering a rationale for the Pepsi cola boycott.
Said the anti-gay leader, "We’re concerned about that diminishment of the ability of Christians to speak what the Bible says."
In addition to condemning homosexuality, the Bible also bans the eating of lobster and other shellfish, the wearing of blended fabrics, and the preparation of meals that include both meat and dairy, such as cheeseburgers.
I don’t drink sodas of any kind…once in a while I will have a ginger ale like when I am flying and if it is free, currently you have to pay for everything on flights. But having seeing this stupidity on the part of the mother fucking Evangelicals, I am now going to start purchasing Pepsi. FUCK YOU KEMPLE. And if everyone who reads my blog will do the same, we will counteract their silly boycott.
