zoozoo6 Blog
This blog is managed by zoozoo6
How is every body out their doing? I was just wondering if anybody else out there experiences the same thing I do and if they do, how do they deal with it (please excuse all the dooos). I frequent most of the clubs and bars in BOYSTOWN, I love them because they always have interesting things going on and they play the best music. Mind you I am straight but have grown to love the gay community. In most cases they are very accepting of every one. During the early 90's (1991 to 1994) I used to go to all of the straight clubs but soon grew tired of all the usual macho crap. I was never the type of guy that picked up strange women in clubs and till this day I don't do that type of thing (I'm 35). I don't have any of those typical stories of chicks that I've picked up over the years and had drunk sex with (the only thing that I do while drunk is indulge in silly conversation, I'm open to any type of conversation when I'm drunk (also when sober) and no I'm not one of those violent drunks, I've been hit on by more guys than I can count and had my bottom grabbed a couple of times at SPIN, I was very flattered!!). Well now to get to my point, I noticed that when ever I go to like say BERLIN (I go by myself, my friends aren't very opened minded so they don't like these types of clubs, they have the attitude that if they can't pickup any women they aren't interested in going) no one will indulge me in any type conversation? What usually winds up happening is that if I talk to a guy the whole conversation falls apart when we get to this part; he says "so do you have a boyfriend"? And I say "I'm straight", at this point he walks away. With women they either walk away when I try to start a conversation or they want me to dance with their boyfriends (I don't dance, does anybody out there want to give me dance lessons?). Sometimes I wonder if it's because people see me alone they think "something must be wrong with that guy, he's here all by himself".
Is any body else out there experiencing the same thing?

With These Words

With these words I lay my heart at your feet; I put my life in your hands. I will love you until the sands of time have all washed away for eternity. I’ve always loved you and I always shall. You are truly my reality, you are my weakness, but you are also my strength, my life, my salvation. My soul lives within you. My heart beats through yours. I have come to realize, have always known, my life isn’t complete without you. How much I need you, like the air I must breathe to keep me alive. I have come to realize that I can’t live without you. With these words I give you all you’ve given me; I give you my soul, my heart, my love, my life. I’ll stand by you through thick and thin, be there for you in every way possible, through the worst and the best, through the happy times and the sad, through sickness and health. I will honor you, treasure you, cherish you, and love you like you’ve never been loved before with all that I am, with all that I have. I will be forever faithful, be your partner in life, be your hearts desire, and be all that you need. I will never be away from you, I will never leave you. I will love you forever and always, for eternity.

Can anyone tell me why good studs always fall for the worst women in the world? Nobody wants a good stud. I don't cheat I pay my bills and I try to do all I can for my woman but my best is never good enough. Is love really suppose to hurt. I thought when you love someone you love them no matter what?
Well I guess the saying is true NO MONEY, NO HONEY.

To veiw a life long told story of another i think is boring but to get to know the person is were the spice is.

I have this dream and when I wake up I look at the person lying next to me and I scream on the inside because he hurts mentally and I don't know how to shut him out, he has never laid a hand on me but with every breath he breaths it's another insult that I have to ignore and blow back at him when he wants the sugar spot because I hold all that anger in to fuck the shit out of him.

What is So Good About the iPad?
Steve Jobs just good at increase pleasure and anticipation? Effectively, I'll allow you to be the judge. Let's dive in and see what all Apple's new brainchild, the iPad, has to offer.

First, this a strong hand-held device. It doesn't matter if you are a gamer, a business skilled or an avid internet-surfer, the iPad can handle it. It has a very sleek and trendy design that will catch anyone's eye. It solely weighs 1.5 pounds. Not solely that, it is extremely person-friendly. It makes surfing the web a piece of cake.

Effectively, just tap and go. And with its revolutionary, 9.7-inch, excessive-resolution, Multi-Touch display screen, it is possible for you to to view the entire internet web page with none problems. It's identical to your PC, however smaller and rather more capable. The iPad provides you a good internet-surfing experience. However that is not all you can do with the iPad. It's also possible to view photographs, watch movies, download music, learn books and rather more, all with the tap of your finger. Lots you want is right in your palms, literally.

'LGBT' What do all the terms mean?
'LGBT' What do all the terms mean?

'LGBT' or is it LGBTQIAAP ( lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex,
asexual, allies, and pansexual)

As a TransWomen in the LGBT community, I felt it was my responsibility to
learn the history and understand how we came to be, where we are and
how I can help us all move forward.
Many on both inside the LGBT community as well as outside the LGBT community do not know the definitions and how they are used.
The majority of acronyms and definitions (based on GLAAD's glossary of terms
), even through with
some disagreement within our community:

* Lesbian: a woman whose enduring physical, romantic, and/or
emotional attraction is to other women. Some lesbians may prefer to
identify as gay, or as gay women.

* Gay: the adjective used to describe people whose enduring
physical, romantic, and/or emotional attractions are to people of the
same sex (e.g., a gay man, gay people).

* Bisexual: an individual who is physically, romantically and/or
emotionally attracted to men and women.

* Transgender: an umbrella adjective for people whose gender
identity and/or gender expression differs from the physical sex they were
assigned at birth. The term may include, but is not limited to,
transsexuals(have had the SRS surgery), cross-dressers(dress in female attire PT) and other gender-variant people.
Transgender people may identify (gender identity) as female-to-male (FTM) or
male-to-female (MTF). Transgender people may or may not decide to
alter their bodies hormonally and/or surgically.

* Queer: traditionally a pejorative term, "queer" has been
appropriated by some LGBT people to describe themselves. However, it
is not universally accepted even within the LGBT community and should
be avoided unless quoting or describing someone who self-identifies
that way.

* Questioning: the adjective used to describe people who are
unsure of their sexual orientation.

* Intersex: the adjective used to describe a person whose
biological sex is ambiguous. There are many genetic, hormonal, or
anatomical variations that make a person's sex ambiguous (e.g.,
Klinefelter syndrome). The term "intersex" is not interchangeable with
or a synonym for "transgender."

* Asexual: an individual who is not physically, romantically, or
emotionally attracted to others.

* Ally: a person who is not lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,
queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, or pansexual but who supports
the LGBT(QQIAAP) community.

* Pansexual: a person who is attracted to all others without taking
gender or biological sex into account.

A large percentage of mainstream America currently does not even
understand the differences between sex, gender, and sexual
orientation.

A common misconception is that gender and sex are the same. Wrong. Sex
is based on the physical reproductive organ supplied at birth, whereas gender identity
is the mental perception you have of yourself and then there is
sexual orientation, or your sexual preference (e.g., heterosexual,
homosexual, bisexual, etc.). Note: In other words, your sex is between your
legs, your gender is between your ears and your sexual orientation is
between your sheets.

For the large majority of our population, gender and sex are
congruent and they are heterosexual. For example, Josh is born with
male sex organs, his gender (the way he mentally perceives himself) is male
and his sexual orientation is heterosexual.
In my case of being born with male sex organs, my gender identity is female and my sexual orientation has always been toward women. So then I am a TransLesbian (TransWomen).

I hope this information has given you a more clearer understanding of who we are!

Call us for a free estimate and home walk-through, where Bryan Phillips, professional lifestyle consultant, will work with you to set up a plan that takes care of you best. He’ll listen to what’s frustrating you, what makes you happy, and how you enjoy using the space that you live and work in. Together, you’ll come up with a detailed list of what needs to be done, so stress and aggravation can be taken off you. Bryan will help make your condo or apartment into a real HOME, creating a calming and comforting environment for you to come home to after a long and frustrating day. Under all the mess and chaos is a peaceful refuge waiting to be discovered; times are stressful and everyone needs a place where they can get away and recharge. Bryan will help you create that.
His team of tuxedoed butlers are your personal assistants.They work for you and will make your home the welcoming environment you’ve only dreamed it could be.

They are much more than a cleaning crew; they’re an amenity that can take care of your personal errands, your shopping, and really cater to all your needs.

They’re the “Gary Poppins” of Chicago, like something from a fairytale or Cinderella story: handsome, smart, friendly, and polished (and some of them can even sing, too!).

Just imagine coming home after a long day of work and having a young, cleancut butler show up at your door in a sharp tux, like something out of Edwardian England, with a big smile on his face and a determination to treat you like the queen or king of your very own castle. Sit down. Relax. Let him fix you a drink before he starts work. Have him order in a meal for you and set your table the way you like it. As you enjoy your favorite TV shows, DVDs, music, or a good book, let him do your laundry, take out your trash, organize your closets, and do all the other mundane things that take up so much of your time.

Let him pamper you.

Let him free you up to enjoy the home and things you work so hard for. Bryan Phillips will setup a weekly or monthly routine that starts off with a deep initial cleaning, followed by maintenance cleaning according to the schedule you determine.
Black Tie Cleaning is also available for special events, holiday parties, and other occasions where you need a professional staff to help you entertain. You can finally host those parties you’ve always wanted to have in your beautiful home…and you can at last ENJOY them, since Bryan and his team will do all the work. Just imagine being able to put all the details, all the hassle, into someone else’s hands. Instead of running around getting everything ready, you could be relaxing when your guests start to arrive…and can actually enjoy their company instead of spending all night working your own party. Enjoy your time with your guests. Let us handle the rest, and the cleanup afterwards.
Whether you are looking for traditional black tie, tuxedoed servers or something more whimsical, like Santa’s little elves for a holiday party, or something a little more risque, Black Tie Cleaning is your one-stop-shop, with a friendly and professional crew that can wear any uniform you want to get the job done to your satisfaction.
Call Bryan Phillips to arrange a consultation so Black Tie Cleaning can start making your apartment or condo into a real home, your very castle, while relieving your stress and giving you the respect and attention you deserve.

My 1st Blog
I moved to Chicago in 2005. I hail from N.Y. I had some terrible tragedies occur right before I decided to move to Chicago. This city has been my savior. Chicago is rather friendly but also a superpower, in its own. I feel like I'm part of this unit, making a difference and I feel strong. The past is the past and you can't change it but you can certainly move on and make the future better and brighter- that's my life goal!

Blog Update for Olin
Hi Chicago bois and girls! This is just a quick update on what's going on with me. I am recently single, and I got my own place and move in Nov. 1st. I'm really excited to start afresh at this time because I actually just started with a new company 3 weeks ago as well. I'm working with Helios Realty, selling and renting real estate. It's a great company to work with and I am having a blast helping people find their new places to live!! If any of you out there need assistance in looking for a place to rent or buy, or if you're looking for someone to list your property, please let me know, and I will be more that glad to help you out.
Also another quick note, Miss Foozie and myself were chatting at cocktail about a week ago and got a chance to spend a good 30 minutes talking to Ted Allen from Queer Eye. He is such a nice guy, so down to earth and he speaks so highly of Chicago and loves visiting. So if you have a minute, get on line and drop him a hello sometime.
Thats the Olin update, hope everyone has a great weekend and Halloween!!

What's Morally Wrong with Homosexuality?

You may have heard of "The Gay Moralist" John Corvino's lecture entitled "What's Morally Wrong with Homosexuality?"

It was recently released on DVD -- available at www.gaymoralist.com

In case you haven't seen him speak, check out the site for a preview of the DVD.

Because of the power of John's message,

Paradise Valley Media has decided to create a feature-length documentary based upon John's lecture.

Please read on:

~~~~~~~~~~

WE’RE MAKING A

“WHAT’S MORALLY WRONG WITH HOMOSEXUALITY?”

FEATURE DOCUMENTARY!

We’re looking for anyone who has suffered because they have been

deprived of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as a consequence

of certain people’s beliefs that homosexuality is morally wrong.

Here are a few examples:

~A soldier who was dishonorably discharged from the military for being gay.

~A husband who felt it was his duty to “do the right thing” and enter into a heterosexual marriage and have children despite knowing he was homosexual.

~A girl who grew up extremely religious, but whose experiences with homophobia from the church drove her to question her faith.

~A mother whose children were taken away from her, either by her family, her ex-husband, or the state -- not because she was a bad mother, but simply because she was gay.

~A teenager who is homeless and works at a fast food restaurant to eke out a living because their parents kicked them out of the house for being gay.

~An older gay person whose longtime partner recently died. Death happened quicker than it needed to, or could have been avoided, if the surviving person’s employer offered health insurance to domestic partners.

Do you or someone you know have a story to tell?

We’d love to hear it!

Eyes and ears of rainbowgirl61
Never thought i'd live to 40--plenty of reasons i might not have!

In the meantime, developing new goals and interests (who knew i'd need more? LOL); getting to know myself and others better; saving 2 puppies and, starting with 2 parakeets, now proud mother of 8!; finally comfortable enough with my real self to show a lot more of it; twice pursuing two go-rounds with EEOC, with even less qualms the second time around....i'm keeping myself busy.

What with learning Chinese and Hungarian, Tai Chi and how to play the violin; being busy creating art in several mediums; having had enough of house ownership, i'm looking for an apartment for my Pepper and 8 birds and i to kick back and relax.

Natch, i continue to enjoy reading, doing crossword puzzles, creating and doing word searches, my therapy ball, my music, and getting to know myself better.

It's amazing how it feels to appreciate the effort and learning and coping it's taken me to get to this age.

I hope i never stop learning in a positive way.

Meanwhile, i'll get back to my final preparations to start packing in earnest. Me being me, i've got the boxes and tape ready...!

How Do You Introduce Yourself to a Total Stranger
Entering the dating scene again after twenty-some years. I don't really believe in pick-up lines, so I would like to know how one introduces oneself to total strangers without making a fool of herself????

Jerry McGuire only had to say "Hello" to capture his love's heart. But in the real world, I think it takes a little more than that . . . right?

So, the question is:

How does one introduce oneself to a total stranger without making a fool of herself????

Feel free to send me your comments.
