Sunday brunch and well wishes….

Posted under A Xian Moment, Friends

Happy Monday, friends! Didn’t we just do this? Maybe it’s part of getting older, but it’s crazy how time moves so quickly. *Note to self: time is an illusion.*  How were your weekends? Do anything fun? I had an excellent weekend: an awesome dinner with Susan Friday night, ran errands Saturday, and yesterday I went out for brunch. Loves brunch! I even met some new people there: an owner of a bar in downtown (what’s left of it) Cleveland. He was with a friend. They were cracking my shit up! About a half hour later, a few of their other gay boyfriends came to join them. Here’s where it got interesting. We were sitting at the bar for awhile and decided to take it to a table. And let me tell you, that was one big gay table! So much fun! And I was just thinking about how much I wanted a few guy pals around. I’ve tried to make a few guy friends here and there, but somehow sex gets thrown into the mix…Can’t we just be friends and not take it below the belt? Sex complicates things. Moving on…  One of their friends was an older gentlemen, and he brought two younger guys along – total jocks. I observed their actions for awhile and then it hit me: “they’re not gay, they are his arm candy!” One of the studs kept pulling my chair closer to him. I was all, “listen dude, give me my space!” Yeah, that’s what I need, to date somebody “confused.” And how difficult would that be, dating someone that is into both sex?! I’ll say one thing, he was mighty delicious: tall, dark and way handsome. It’s strange though, I have no desire right now to pursue a relationship. Of course I’m going to stay open to the possibilities, but they can find me now. I’m a bit worn out from that little journey. Haha…!  I had such a nice time with the boys though, we talked for well over an hour. So nice to hear new stories. And an even nicer way to end the weekend.

The rockin’ weekend aside, I also received some bad news yesterday morning. Adrienne, my very best friend that lives in the Cape (I talk about her often) broke her leg! :( I was able to speak with her for a few minutes yesterday morning, but she’s in a lot of pain. She’s going in for surgery this morning. I really wish I was there with her right now. We’ve always been so good at taking care of each other. We basically grew up together; I met her when I was 20, so that puts us at the 17-year friendship mark. ;) She is my heart. It’s such a setback for her – she’s getting ready to move her life to the Southwest. SO proud of her. Let’s all send lots of healing energy her way, and well wishes for a speedy recovery! And my wishes for you…to have a fantastical Monday!! XOs…

a Friday night tradition….

Posted under A Xian Moment, Friends

So, I have a new little tradition on Fridays: I leave the office and take myself out for dinner. A few hours of letting go.  Last night, Susan (my very best friend) accompanied me. We went to one of our favorite spots in our hood: Luxe Kitchen and Lounge. It was so nice to sit and chat with her. We both have our hands full during the week so by the time Friday rolls around, we’re both ready for some serious conversatin’. I may have lost a few cherished friendships over the past few years, but when you have a friend that you connect with on a deep level, with whom you share your deepest thoughts, you better do your best to keep them in your life. There are relationships you should fight for.

I am so very proud of Susan, she’s standing on the front line of  life fighting her way to make her mark. Working two jobs to survive. She’s determined, which is often the only thing you can hold onto when you’re searching for your place: determination. That’s one of the most beautiful things about friendships: they are inspiration. A support system. I think we need a little more support in the world, the real kind. The listening ear. The shoulder to cry on. So, if you have a very best friend that you love with all of your heart, send them a quick message and remind them. Enjoy your Saturday, little monsters! ;) XOs….

got a question with my name on it?

Posted under Ask Christian

…go ahead and axe me..

Happy Friday, little monsters! Yes, most of you know that’s what Lady GaGa calls her fans. She just added their nickname to her body – her latest tattoo. I think it’s the best description for her die-hard admirers. Too cute for words.

gaga_tatt

She really does love her fans. Case in point: she was signing autographs at a Best Buy in West Hollywood, for the release of The Fame Monster. The line went on for days and most of them were waiting all night to meet their pop star -  you know how groupies do it. So, she stepped outside the fame and ordered pizza for all of them. Her tweet: “Sending all my little monsters little pizzas for waiting all night for me at best buy,” she Tweeted. “I hope you’re hungry … eat up I love u!” Now that’s showing some gratitude. Lady G is my new Madonna. DOH! Did I say that out loud? Shhhhh… For realz, I still <3 Madonna.

OK, enough about pop stars! Let’s get to askin’. You remember, it’s Ask Christian day!!! Pull up your little office  (or whatever chair you’re sitting on at home) and ask me something. I’m at your disposal..well, my days are a bit full to the brim, but I’ll always make time for you. Promise. XOs…

What are you gonna do? Talk to me.

Posted under Xianbox

Tell me your dreams.
Am I in them?

Tell me your fears.
Are you scared?

Tell me your stories.
I’m not afraid of who you are.

We can fly.

Poor is the man, who’s pleasures depend on the permission of another…

Madonna~Justify My Love

That Madonna, she was a horny mother lover back in the day. Justify My Love was a new single from her greatest hits CD: The Immaculate Collection. It was released the same year I graduated from high school, and three days before my birthday. I’ll always remember it fondly: best present ever!  Remember all the scandal behind the video? I’m fairly certain there wouldn’t be any issues with adding it to rotation now. Or would there be? I don’t think it was all that scandalous, a few homo scenes but that was about it. She’s definitely a marketing guru – MTV banned the video but she turned around and released it as the first ever VHS video single -  for $10! Did you just experience a flashback? I love old skool Madonna, she knew how to piss people off the real way: to question their beliefs. Right vs. wrong.  But now she’s beginning to look like every other Hollywood plastic star. But, it’s her personal choice and we’ve all got one, it’s the only freedom we have left. Whoa…where did that come from?! Haha..  All that matters is that she’s happy. Listen to me, like  Maddy and I are pals. Although, I did “grow up” with her -  she was my security blanket.

So howz about we pay homage to the old skool horny Madonna…. I often forget Lenny Kravitz provided the backup moans.
Lenny…. *catches drool*

Frances Bean

Posted under Look What I Found

I got on the subject of Courtney Love on Twitter last night, and Frances came up. I did a little Googlin’ and I just had to share the photo I found. She’s grown into such a beautiful young woman at 17. Total Botticelli chic. Classic. I am sad for Courtney, she recently lost custody of Frances to Kurt’s parents. NO, it’s not because Court is hittin’ the pipe again, Frances just prefers to be with her Nana. But yes, Courtney is a little crazy, most insanely intelligent people are. I will always be a huge Courtney fan.

Ok then, just a little Cobain flashback for you. And by the way, we still miss you, Kurt….
