Part 1

Ever seen Sixteen Candles? If you answered "no" to this question, you need to get off this blog and go rent that shit. It's seriously one of the best movies ever made, in my humble opinion. Anyway, now that that's over...

As I was watching Sixteen Candles for the second time in 24 hours, I was stunned by Sam's actions in the movie. Not so much the fact that she acted like that, but by the fact that I acted that way too. Could I, in fact, be that gay? It's no secret to my friends that I prefer outdoor plumbing versus indoor, but I normally consider myself pretty macho acting. But I'm realizing that behind closed doors, I'm not all that butch all the time.

Take tonight's viewing of Sixteen Candle, for instance. About a third of the way through the movie, Sam is debating what she should say to Jake when she finally talks to him. The more I thought about it, I realized that I do that exact same thing. But I take it a step further by mimicking the other guys voice in a different timbre than mine... Yeah. Take that image in your head and save it. Might bring you some laughs later.

So what's the point here? Well, the point is that while I am a gay man that doesn't necessarily act like a gay man in public, the gloves are off, so to speak, when no one is around to see me. This blog will hopefully help me identify those moments not only for my future reference, but for your enjoyment. Call it masochistic, but the idea of people finding humor in my mannerisms isn't too frightening. Maybe I just want to blog. Who cares? If you've read this far, obviously you're intrigued. And if you keep reading from here on out, I've done my job. I just hope that this is all as funny to you as it is to me.

Deuces.
