sin city
Hello…welcome back.
Today was a great day! I went to gymnastics and did a new tumbling pass that I’ve been dreaming about doing since 1996. It’s a front handspring, front bounder, front tuck. The other people in class clapped for me when I landed! The thing is, most gyms have a special ritual for recognizing that someone has learned a new skill. This gym has a bulletin board of "bullseyes" where kids write down their name and the skill. So, after I landed, I told this girl that I wanted a bullseye, and she kinda laughed at me as if I was kidding. I felt a little childish then and wondered if it was appropriate for me to have one. Now, I decided that I want one after all, but I guess I’ll have to wait until I learn a new trick. That sucks because learning new tricks is fucking hard! If new tricks were easy, I’d be able to do them already.
Here’s an update on the situation with my co-worker who is torn between two guys. She’s decided that while she does really like the temp guy, it’s the part-time model who has stolen her heart. SO, she’s going to tell the temp that they can be friends because she is too in love with the model, and she’s going to tell the model that every so often she has to hang out with the temp…who is gay. I applaud her for coming up with such a great lie. We were reading Essence today, and it seems that there are more than twice as many female black college graduates as there are male ones in the US. Seeing as the temp is one, we agreed it’s a good idea to keep him around. Also, I’ve met him, and he’s both cute and charming.
I meant to write something about W, but I can’t remember what it was. He’s reading my earlier blogs now and will call me after he’s done to discuss.
The guy at the Thai restaurant, I found out tonight, also works at the gay bar/Indian fast food place on my corner. He recognized me when I picked up my take-out, and threw in a free bottle of Voss water, from Norway! It’s all Madonna will drink. I’ll only drink that or coconut water or sometimes tap, but never my Brita because once I found a roach in it.

“If new tricks were easy, I’d be able to do them already.”
LOL!! Is this a double entendre? I totally laughed when I read this, because obviously I had to make it out as some sexual innuendo!

Angelo, please remember that this is a G-rated blog that refrains from such tawdry double entendres!
