I was telling Justin the other day that ever since we decided to get into shape and start down the path of the Circuit Party Scene our lives have been pretty much changed forever. For starters I just can't imagine not being an active participant in the community that revolves around travel, dance parties and what is formerly known as the Circuit.

While many people have been saying as of late that the Circuit is dying, I would disagree to this fact. I believe it's simply being redefined and evolving to fit the needs of the new generation of gay party boys. The traditional Circuit Party has now extended to the Atlantis and RSVP Gay Cruises, local dance club parties with guest DJ's, and monthly events in various cities such as Fresh in San Francisco and Alegria in New York. From what I've seen lately the Circuit is far from dying. As the first generation of gay party boys are starting to minimize their attendance at most of the major events, a changing of the guard is taking place and the baton is now being handed down to us newbie party'ers to take it, run with and transform things to better suit our needs and desires.

I give a lot of credit to that first generation who started these events originally based on fundraising and creating a sense of community during a time where HIV & AIDS was ravaging almost an entire generation of men. They were truly pioneers, and paved the way for the rest of us to have these parties to enjoy. Now it's our turn to support our community, participate, and continue the legacy started by our fellow brothers. We have to show the younger generation that we can evolve, dance, party and celebrate life to the fullest while maintaining our successful careers, deep seated friendships and personal relationships.

Because of the Circuit, my life has been changed forever and I will never be able to go back to the way things used to be in my life. While the working out, dieting, and body conscious image may seem like a chore to some and vain to others, it's now a lifestyle for me, and gives me the drive to continuously better myself while striving to get the most out of my body, my mind and my soul. What more could I possibly want out of life? Cheers!
