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.

I Figured Out Why I'm Bored
I was laying out by the pool this afternoon with Justin and it hit me why my life seems routine and I'm bored at the moment ... Because I miss my friends.
It's been several weeks since we've all seen each other and spent time together and I really miss being with the gang. No matter what our differences we always have so much fun when we're all together.
Last week when Justin, Jerry and I were at Burn I was honestly a little jealous of this group of friends who came in all wearing the same outfits and handing out invitations to certain people for one of their respective birthday parties. There are about 8 of them and we always see them out together, be it Burn, the White Party or wherever, they're always with each other as a group. It's this type of close group bond that Justin and I have been lacking since we moved away from San Francisco. Now that we have Jerry here it's really made things so much better, but I still miss the dynamics of having the entire group of us together at the same time.
Bernard lives in San Francisco, Philip lives in Los Angeles, Tony and DJ live in San Diego and Jerry, Justin and I are here in Phoenix so now that we're all spread out along the west coast it's not as easy for us hang out and usually takes something big like a party to get us all together again.
Some days I really wish we were are all back in the same city together again so we could just meet up like in the old days, go for a drink and hang out. Phoenix has always been a difficult place to make close friends who don't turn out to be complete flakes, so while it's great that Justin and I have been able to maintain the close bond with the former 'SF Crew', it's sometimes hard because feel somewhat isolated here in Phoenix without a core group.
I know things will feel much better next weekend when we're all back together again so I guess I'll just have to wait it out. Cheers!
