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. Ok -- I don't even want to think that I went an entire month without writing anything in my journal but it's true. I guess this is what happens when life gets too busy.
Mainly I haven't been writing because my life has become much too busy for my own good. Work has been very hectic over the past few months, as I have been working frantically on a new release of software. This really leaves me with little to no time to write while I'm at work and little to no interest to even touch the computer when I get home.
I feel bad enough that I haven't been able to keep up with the E-Mail's from my friends and family.
Well hopefully things have changed as of today. We officially finished our software release and I should be able to have some time to catch up on my writing again. Once I get DSL back at home I may even be able to write a bit in the evenings before going to bed.
So ... My Life ... It is truly amazing how much a person's life can change in just one month. I feel as if the last few months have just flown by and they almost seem like a years time has gone by to date. Let me give a brief summary of the past few months:
March
-Moved to Noe Valley
-Went to Phoenix with Justin to visit my friends and the puppies
-Joined the SFSocial Gay Men's Group and met a bunch of people such as Scott, Bill, Ken, Paul
-Met Steven and instantly made a connection as friends
-Met some of Steven's friends such as Merced and Andy
-Discovered a new meaning for "Virginia Ham's"
-Discovered Metropolis when I went there for the Green party with some friends
-Worked too many hours for my own good
April
-Met Bee and instantly made a connection as friends
-Met Alan, Jesse and some others from the SFSocial Group with whom I found a solid group of friends
-Started forming a very close friendship with Steven and Bee and spending a great deal of social hours out with them.
-Discovered how much Steven really likes the "Beer Bust" at the Lone Star
-Discovered all the "Hidden" secrets of Metropolis
-Re-discovered my relationship with Justin
-Worked too many hours for my own good
-Finally resolved to give up my notion of moving back to Phoenix and staying in San Francisco
May
-Steven and Bee have become two of my closest friends and Justin and I enjoy spending time with them on a regular basis
-Justin and I have become much closer as a couple and enjoy spending our time together
-Became a more active part of the SFSocial Group and met many more people such as Jose, Ramon, Mike, Tall Steven, David, Brian and others.
-Discovered some more of the "finer" places in the city with Steven and Bee
-Attended Gay & Lesbian Night at Great America with Bee, Steven and Justin and had a great time
-Had Bee bleach and color my hair blonde or something like that (*grin*)
-Got sick of dealing with my roommate and her late hours so I moved from Noe Valley to a flat in the Castro with a straight couple from Canada.
-Spent 8 hours dancing at Metropolis with Justin and Bee while again discovering the "Hidden" secrets of Metropolis
-Met Phillip from the SFSocial Group
-Tried to not work too many hours for my own good but still did
June (to-date)
-Justin got a new job, so now we can finally spend the weekends doing things together (woo hoo!)
-Went to the Russian River with Bee, Justin and Phillip for the day and had sort of a "mini-vacation"
-Bee, Justin and I took Phillip to introduce him to the "finer" places in the city
-Finished up my part of the application we are about to release at work (whew!)
-Looking forward to Steven returning from Amsterdam (you bitch)
-Hopefully I can spend more time with Justin, Steven, Bee, Philip, Alan, Paul, Jessie, Brian, and the SFSocial group. These are a great group of guys.
Well that's pretty much the last few months in review. I don't really feel like writing any more. I know that I probably forgot a few things, but of course I will continue this in more detail to come later.
It feels really great to actually sit and write again. Now if I can get back to my reading and regular journal entries I may actually be doing well.
I guess it's time to go home.
