Just for Helene

Happy Birthday My Special Girl!! You are my fruit fly, always and forever.

News

I started physical therapy yesterday. I have the sweetest girl as my therapist. Anyway, my foot is far from being healed. I still have tremendous swelling, pain, and virtually no movement in the ankle. I have exercises to do which will hopefully help. I am counting on it because I start work on Tuesday. I'll keep you up to date.

Weber is a sneaky shit of a dog. We put up a gate so that he is limited to the living and kitchen when we are out. We leave it up about a foot so that the cats can get through to get away from him if needed. The big shit somehow crawls underneath the gate, gets into the bathroom trash and eats toilet paper. I think I may buy a webcam to put up so I can have this as proof. Maybe I'll win $100,000 on America's Funniest Home Videos. That would be cool.

Happy Birthday to Rodney, Ferral, Kristian, Laura, Chloe and Zoe.

Harry potter and the Half Blood Prince (Spoilers)

Those of you who haven't finished the book and don't want to know anything about it, DO NOT READ THIS POST. If you have, let me know your theories.

OK, I finished readin HP6 on Tuesday. I liked it alot, but there is alot yet to find out in HP7. Like is Dumbledore really dead. I have read posts on other sites with interesting theories like Falwkes (the Phoenix) is Dumbledores Horcrux? I think DD is dead. He told Snape (who is working for DD) to kill him to make it look to Voltemort that he was true to the dark side, plus in doing so he protected Harry and Malfoy. This will make Harry determined to kill Voltemort and DD will be around via Obie Won in 'Satr Wars' to help Harry through his journey.

I also believe Harry is the final horcrux which is why the prophecy says one of them will have to die in the final battle. Somehow I don't believe JK will kill Harry in the end. Afterall this is a childrens book and an ending like that will devestate too many people. Harry and the gang will ultimately fight Voltemort and I wouldn't be suprised if Ron or Hermione dies. Hopefully not, but it would be a tragic love story, one of them dies in the others arms.

I also read that Harry's parents have a horcrux somewhere. This is a possibility, maybe that is the horcrux that Harry is carrying.

Let me know whta you HP fans think. Also check out www.coffeerooms.com/forums/books/rowling/
with alot of interesting theories.

Bored outta my frickin' mind!!!

This entry shouldn't make alot of sense. I'm bored and I'm gonna write what ever comes into my head. So here goes!!

I am loving the new HP book. I am half way through it. I can't wait to find out what happens. Ron is being a big turd. If I were Hermione, I'd never go out with him. She should hook up with Harry or even Malfoy before she date Ron. Also what's up with the first two chapters. They are nothing J.K. has written before. When she republishes the books for the 20 year anniversary editions, she should think about adding a chapter at the beginning of the other books to imitate "half blood prince". It is cool.

OK, I know this is going to shock alot of people, but Britney Spears is getting on my nerves lately. She goes and cuts her hair so she looks like a soccer mom, she is married to the biggest piece of white trash I've ever seen, and she is ruining what is left of her career. I LOVE BRITNEY, but c'mon girl, get some sense. Being a mom is cool and all, but look who are having that baby (ies) with. Madonna did it right. She is a great mom, still sexy, and still provacative. Britney is on the road to becoming a has been like so many before her (Tiffany comes to mind).

'Queer as Folk' was awesome this week. While I'm fairly sure Michael won't die, who knows. Babylon, the big gay club. exploded when someone planted a bomb during a ...gasp.. Cyndi Lauper concert (OMG< please don't let anything happen to Cyndi). I think it was Justin's dad who planted the bomb because he is fighting to pass Prop 14, an amendment that would stop ALL rights of gay people. Justin's parents broke up after he came out and his dad blames him for causing the break up. I suspect it's him. I think Mel and Linds will be getting back together, thankfully. But it also appears like Brian is going to cave and marry Justin. Although it will make Justin happy, it isn't what Brian has been about these past 5 seasons. I hope the show doesn't ruin the best character on the show. One week I like him, the next I hate him. That's what is great about Brian. He's like the gay Alexis (Oh wait, Alexis was the gay Alexis). Sadly, there are only 3 more episodes left before my fav show ends. Then I guess I will watch 'Queer Eye' and 'Will and Grace' to fill my gay TV needs. Both great shows, but they don't have all the sex, drama, sex, intrigue, sex, hot bodies, and did I mention, sex. I tried watching 'The L Word' but there is too much munching going on, if you know what I mean. Such things should never be seen by a good little gay boy like me.

Pottermania and things

I, like millions of you, am reading the new Harry Potter book. I can't wait to see what happens. Someone major is supposed to die. My money is on Dumbledore, although Hagrid is a good bet as well. I think Harry and Hermoione will hook up and Ron will turn evil.... And I have said all along that I think Voltemort is Harry's dad. Now I have no proof, just theories, plus I am only 100 pages into the book. Share your thoughts Potter fans, tell us what you think will happen. And please do not give away anything from the new book. I don't want to spoil anyones enjoyment of reading the book. In a few days it will be appropriate to discuss what has happend and all that is leading up to the grande finale in book 7. I can't wait.

I found out this week that I have an infection in the foot I had surgery on. It shouldn't hurt my recovery, but I am on Keflex for the third time since I had the damn surgery. I am soooooo tired of this. I just want to go to work, complain about customers, get drunk, and go to bed. Ohhh I dare to dream!!

Weber is doing better. He has a respiratory infection and is on anti-biotics as well. In fact he is taking the the same dosage of Keflex as I am. Weird huh? Who knew that dogs and humans could take the same meds. He is definitely my dog!!!!

Welcome to My World

Yesterday, our dog, Weber got sick. He was just laying around, not eating, drinking, or using the bathroom. A $70 trip to the vet discovered that he has an upset stomach. He ate something that didn't sit well with him. HMMmmm, I wonder what that could have been? A pork bone that he ravaged from a friends dog? The countless paper towels he grabs out of the trash? Maybe it was the cat poop he generally eats? Who knows? Oh the joys of fatherhood!!!

On my end, I took 2 big steps towards recovery. I was walking around the house without any crutches. Not for a long time, maybe 3 or 4 minutes, but it is a start. It hurt like a bitch, though (btw, why does a bitch hurt?). This morning, I actually took a shower standing up. Again it hurt and I was extremely nervous, but I did it. I still can't move my foot in any direction, but therapy will take care of that. The big test will be on Thursday when Tim and I are going to an Indians game. Let's see how I do in a big crowd with the boot on. I will definitely use one crutch to get around, plus if they make a bonehead play (and they will) I can throw it at one of the players. Go Tribe!!!

Bush Rant

Oh, Canada. I glad you are not bigoted like the U.S.A. Canada is about to pass national laws that let all people marry, including Gays and Lesbians. President Bush, get a clue! Nations are finally recognizing us as equals. Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, and now Canada. Is it too much to hope that MY country will finally see me as a citizen with full rights? Probably so.

I don't understand why heteros have so much angst about Tim and I getting married. I won't accept religious reasons because we have seperation of church and state (unless Bush gets his way and abolishes that from the Constitution). I have heard that the 'Sanctity of Marriage' is in jeopardy. BullShit!!! 50% of all marriages end in divorce, over 60% have some sort of extra marrital affair with another person (some of those are same-sex affairs), and I'm not even going into all the spousal and child abuse that occur as well. I have also been told that homosexuality is immoral. By whose standards are they speaking. It can't be from the Bible, as I stated before, we have seperation of church and state, so whose moral code are they upholding?

Tim and I have been together for 6 years. we have the same type of relationship as many heteros. We bicker about household things (mainly money), we do upkeep on our house and lawn, we cuddle, and we make love (and just like straight marriages, it quantity has diminished over the years as well). The only thing different is we are not protected if one of us dies o9r we split up. We won't get the others social security (if it even exists by the time that happens), we could lose our home (in Ohio two same-sex people can't legally own property together, so If Tim's goes first, I have no rights to our property), we don't have tax breaks that legally married people have, and now I hear that our wills are null and void if a relative contests it. Sounds like Communist Cuba to me.

I hope America wakes up. Elect a fair politician, he or she doesn't have to be Democrat or Republican. How about trying a new party? Libertarian or Green Party, for example. Look into it. There are some great people in all parties (including Republicans). We as a nation just have to end our party affiliations and finally elect a "qualified" candidate. Not a dipshit from Texas who can't say 'nuclear' correctly and wants to take away freedom by adding Amendments to the Constitution.

If the Constitutional Amendment passes. We will be moving to Canada. I will not be diminished as a citizen in my own country. I hope that doesn't happen, though. Not that I don't want to live in Canada. Eeven thoughToronto is an amazing city, with a vibrant gay culture. I just don't want to be forced out of my country by hippocrital religious bigots who will have to face the music when God punishes them for being filled with Hate. But in the end, I'll be in heaven, so I won't have to see them anyway!!!!

Good News on a Sad Day

In the mist of the terrible London terror attacks, I feel great sadness for the victims and citizens of London. Watching them walk across the bridge brought back horrible memories of Sept. 11. Hopefully nothing else happens. Although I am not a Bush supporter, I think he has done the best any President can or has done in fighting and preventing terrorism. I am thankful no other attacks have happened in the U.S. since 9/11. I hope the war ends soon to prevent more lives from being lost. But as long as we are there, we might as well get it done right so we never have to go to Iraq again. Having said that, Bush' domestic policies are another issue for another Blog.

Now for the good news. It's been 11 weeks since my ankle surgery and I am finally in a removable walking boot cast. Thank God! I am finally able to take a normal stand up shower, to sleep without my cast rubbing against my good leg, and I can DRIVE which I haven't been able to do since before the surgery. I am returning to work in early August with minimal hours, but at least my life is starting to return to normal, I am even going to an Indians game next week. I still have 6 months to a year before my recovery is complete, but I am moving in the right direction.

War of the Worlds

Tim and I went to see "War of the Worlds" yesterday afternoon . We both loved it. The special FX are awesome, as Spielberg always give us. Tom Cruise was a great choice to star in it. I never thought about what has been going on with him once during the movie. Actually, I don't really care. Even if he is crazy, he's still cute, a good actor, and his films don't suck like so many others. It isn't the best flick I've seen this summer, however, which is "Batman Begins" starring my new boyfriend Christian Bale. Not only is he a hot GOD of a man, but the film is great. Full of action, great plot, and the acting was good. Even Katie Holmes, who many have said took away from the movie. She was fine. Besides, her part is so minor that the worst actress ever could played her (Paris Hilton) and it still would have been the best film of the summer.

The media is reporting that movie ticket sales are down becasue prices are too high and quality of films are low. While I won't argue with the prices being too high (I went to a matinee and spent $17 for 2 tix, $1 for parking, and $6 for popcorn and soda), The quality of the films is debatable. I have been to the movies 6 times this year which is alot for me. And there are at least 2 more films I am going to see for sure. Plus I may go see "Batman" again (RRRrrrrr). While I may not spend money to see "Bewitched" in the theater, I will most likely rent it when comes out. Some movies must be seen on the big screen such as "Star Wars III", "War of the Worlds". Hopefully the slump will end soon.

BTW, I hear Robin may not be in any of the 3 "Batman" movies. I think they should add him as Bruce Waynes LOVER. Where do I sign up?

Introduction

Hey Everyone, I've decided to start my own blog so I can start spouting off about various things, suchs a President Bush's ineptness, America's homophobia, and happenings in and around my life. I've been reading various blogs about how to go about with my first entries. So I've decided to let you in on who I am, what my views are, and how things generally suck now.

First off, I'm Ron, a 37 y/o gay man living in Columbus, OH with Tim, my partner of 6 years (hence the name timron1999, our names with the year we met). Tim is on the left (cute isn't he?), I'm on the right with the red hat. We are both big Cleveland Indians fans. We have two cats, T.C. (the bitchy one), Slocombe (named after Mrs. Slocombe on "Are you Being Served?"), and our newest addition to the family, "Weber", a black labrador retreiver, which we resuced from a local shelter.

I have been laid up since March recovering from ankle surgery which has taken much longer than expected to recoup. I am finally getting this damn cast off my leg on Thursday and being put into a walking cast. I will also be able to go back to work in early August thankfully. There is only so much TV and DVDs I can watch, plus if I have to watch one more Paternity test "Maury" episode, I may have to off myself. How many men have these hoochies slept with anyway to not be able to narrow a potential daddy list. Not that I can throw stones. In my heyday when I was young, hung, and single, I slept with more than my fair share of men. The difference is that I didn't go on national TV to let the world know how much of a slut I was. If I would have, most of my freinds would have turned it off and said "old news".

Anyway, that's about all for now. I'm going to try and post everyday. So stay tuned kids!!!
