Rich Brown - Living My Life Out Loud!
Hello I'm Rich Brown and this is my personal website and blog. I'm just your simple, average, down to earth, professional, out gay man and aspiring circuit boy, living in Phoenix, Arizona with a few things to say while trying to find my place among all the scary, conservative, religious nuts in this sick and twisted world.

@ Work
So anyway -- yesterday was a blow out. Just one of those days I guess. Anyway -- I'm feeling much better today. I basically blew off work yesterday and went to the movies with Justin. We saw the Wedding Planner. It was pretty good. Very predictable and much like all the rest of those types of movies. It was cute anyway.
I had to go to the eye doctor in the afternoon to get my eyes examined. Not that I really needed my eyes examined but for some stupid reason they won't give you new contacts unless you have a new prescription. Ugh. Regardless, I now have a new prescription and a new pair of contacts. These should last me for a few weeks. I have to get out and buy some new ones.
The funny part was when she asked me how often I change my contacts. I replied "oh I don't know about every month or two -- depends on when I feel like they are bothering me ..."
Lets just say I think she almost fell over.
She proceeded to tell me "You know they are disposals and are supposed to be changed every week or two at the most".
I then replied to her "Yes I know that but I'm just trying to get more bank for my buck and save some money"
She just stared at me and shook her head. She knew it would be useless to tell me otherwise because no matter what I'm only going to change them when I feel like I need to. Ha!
As for my weekend, it was rather uneventful. I did manage to get a great deal of packing done. Although it seems that I still have a lot of things left to pack. I hate packing and I hate moving. I can't believe that I'm on a cycle of moving about every 6 months. I've been on this cycle since I moved to Phoenix in December of 1994. So from 1994 to the present I have moved every 6 months on a regular basis. I have never finished a lease in full. I've either transferred to a new apartment, a complex or just broken the lease all together. This has to stop soon. I really want to settle down.
Justin and I saw Hannibal on Friday night at the 12pm IMAX showing. I was not impressed with this movie. It was overly gory and showed to many images that were totally unnecessary. They have all this computer animation that is possible now but I just do not think that people are ready to handle the gore. Some things are better just left to the imagination. I thought the movie would have been more like the first one. Silence of the Lambs was well done. It was suspenseful and not overly horrific. Hannibal really lacked that amount of suspense and was simply too graphic to actually enjoy. Well that is just my opinion anyway.
On Saturday, Justin and I had dinner at my place and watched a movie. It was a quiet night at home.
So I guess tonight I'm going to meet up with Justin and we are going to go to Mountain View to hang out with others for tea. I enjoy going to hang out with these guys but I'm starting to think that every week is a bit much. Maybe just because it seems so far to drive all the time. Once I move to the city I will probably stop going down and do more things around the city.
Ok -- well I'm going to make this a short one. I have some things to get done here at work before I go home.
