Hump Day - give me a Fcuk! Hmm…Hump Day already. Where the hell is the week going??? It doesn’t feel like I have actually done anything all week. Last night was interesting…I guess. Saw Will after I got done at Wes’s…damn is that fucker hot! (Will, I mean) I shocked myself with the level of restraint I have managed to obtain over the years…I didn’t jump his bones! Seems like we both were trying to behave. Apparently I was the topic of discussion last night after I left his place…his roommate had been in the kitchen the entire time working on his outfit for his next drag show. I definitely want to see Will again…maybe tonight will see me over there again. And the cool part? He lives right down the street from where I will be at. Hmmm……wonder where the thoughts could go on that. LOL (Behave, Aiden…behave)

So I have listened to Amber’s newest CD, My Kind of World. Most interesting, I should say. Wes seemed to get a little upset when I threw out the extra copy last night, but I knew that he wouldn’t like it. She has some dance stuff in there, but this is album is closer to her heart. With songs like Crucified Solitude, Sacrificial Lamb, Private War and City of Pain, you have to wonder what it was exactly she was thinking. Fortunately, I like most of her works, and there are quite a few songs on there that I enjoy. It seems that she has been trying to expand outside the dance arena for a few years now, and I definitely can see it growing on me.

A DJ of note that I recommend checking out is Manny Lehman, the Latino from the Bronx. He spins for the Freedom Party up in NYC. What is that you ask? Freedom Party NYC is a celebratory Gay Pride weekend event to honor the accomplishments of the GLBT community in their continuing battle for life, liberty and equality. Proceeds benefit the HIV Law Project, a non-profit organization that provides services to persons afflicted with HIV and AIDS. (excerpted from their website) Of course, you know that anything dealing with helping those with HIV/AIDS is a big deal to me. No need to clarify further on any of that! But, back to Manny. I picked up both his BANGING’02 and FREEDOM albums. FREEDOM was released last year, featuring Kristine W, Sun, Rhythm Divine, Solar City and Deborah Cooper. If you buy BANGIN’02 and think that you will be able to listen to it at work, guess again. The software used to create it makes it nearly impossible to listen to on a computer and some of the older stereos. But, I definitely recommend his works. They will definitely keep you dancing in your car or home (make those Sunday chore days go by a lot faster!)

Oh, and don’t worry…I know that I have promised a few blogs but have slacked off. I was hoping to be able to work on them while I was out for my birthday, but, of course, that didn’t happen. I promise I will get them up soon….hopefully by the end of the month. I am taking a few days off for my move to the new apartment, so hopefully there will be a little free time in there to get working on the things that sees me three months behind.

Words of Wisdom
When you have fear, you can think: “Others have fear similar to this; may I take to myself all of their fears.” Even though you are opening yourself to greater suffering, taking greater hardship on yourself, your fear lessens. ~ The Dalai Lama
