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.

Oh What A Night (No Really It Was!)
|
@HOME. So when I sat down to write tonight, I first thought that some things are probably better just left in private. After thinking about it for a while, I mentioned to Justin that I was contemplating writing about what happened last night and he didn't mind, so I figured what hell. I'm going to spill the beans about last night so that when I look back at this posting in a few years I can laugh about it.
Justin and I decided to go out last night to our usual places (Amsterdams & Charlies) and we got home at about 2:30 am. We both got online to check mail, blogs and chat with some friends who were still awake and online. Justin started chatting with this cute 24 year old race car driver who I will refer too as RacerX, who was in town for a race going on this weekend here in Phoenix. To make a long story short, RacerX really wanted to play, and Justin and I were both feeling a little frisky, so we said what the hell, let's invite him over. Now I might add a disclaimer here that this is NOT something that we do all the time. I think it's actually been over 2 years since the last time we did something like this. Anyway, RacerX accepted our offer to come over and said he would be here in 15 minutes. Having already seen a few pictures of him online, RacerX was a really cute blonde boy with a slight accent (being that he was not from these parts!) Justin and I were pleasantly surprised that he looked much better then his pictures (which seems to be a rarity online these days) and we therefore didn't have to kick him out.
All I'm going to say is that the rest of what occurred is definitely a story to NOT tell the grandchildren. It was a really wild night to which I will spare you all the fabulous, sweaty details. Needless to say it was around 6 am when RacerX left our house and we were finally able to go to sleep. Justin and I both agreed that we had a great time and that perhaps we won't wait another 2 years after this time.
Well kids, it's time for me to go relax a little and wind down from this weekend. Before we know it morning will be here and it will be time for another week of work. Cheers!

Kevin and Darin
|
@HOME. Ok I have to give a shout out to Kevin and Darin.
We have been running into these guys out at either Amsterdam's, Charlies, or Gay Denny's almost every weekend for the past month and they are a total trip and rarely sober! So if you get a chance check out Darin's blog and see the pictures he posted of their night out last night, it's a crackup.
My favorite picture from Darin's entry yesterday is that of Stacy Louis, one of the Amsterdam's bartenders. Credits to Darin for this picture and the one above.
-cut from Darin's blog- It was Drag Night at Amsterdam! Here's one of our most favorite Bar Keeps - Stacey - or Jizzona Stranger. 
Anyway I just got up from a brief nap on the couch after work and now I'm roaring to go. I'm going to jump in the shower and I think Justin, Mark, Andrea and I are going to head out for some late dinner. Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

It's Another Fabulous Friday
|
@HOME. I thank god I didn't have to go into the office today and face the possibility that the bathroom had not been cleaned yet and Mr. Hanky is still dead on the floor. Friday's are my work from home days, so it was a good day to have the use of a private Loo. My best friends tell me that I obsess way too much about bathrooms and I have way too many stores about them. I've thought about starting the Great Bathroom Blog where I can humor the world with my potty humor and lists of top hidden bathrooms in every city. LOL. I think I'll hold off on that one for now.
Anyway it's been an interesting day and I'm really looking forward to the weekend. And just for the record, I know from reading the comments on my BLOG the other day, that many BLOG readers (including myself) who were sucked into the Fake/Kurt's blog drama thing now question the authenticity and integrity of people online ... Like I said in my comments, judge the individual, not the group. We're not all that way!
As for me, everything I write about in my BLOG is true and to the best of my knowledge accurate. I started writing years ago to get my feelings and a record of my life on paper (now hard drive). I've been doing it ever since and I love going back to read my old posts from years ago in different cities as it really brings a rush of past memories and ultimately a smile to my face. And not that I really care what you think (Ok, I lie, I do care ... ) but to dispel any questions regarding my authenticity, feel free to check out my full website as this BLOG is only one part of my site. Not only do I have the full details of my life, but I also have just about every digital picture I've taken of myself, friends and trips since 1992 online (notice I said 'just about' because there are some pictures that you may NOT see! ... Ok maybe but only if you ask nicely!)
In reality I'm just a normal, down to earth guy and a professional web developer. I obsess about both my website, my blog and a few other things. My life is pretty much an open book and I really love to read about, correspond, and chat with friends and new people. So I say to all you readers out there who want to know more about me, feel free to ask away. For all you fellow Bloggers out there ... tell the truth, be real, peace and blog on :-)
Lastly ... Thanks to Justin, my love, for putting up with my long hours and my BLOG obsession. How cute is this Blogger shirt, which arrived yesterday, that Justin got for me. So clever that boy!
(Note to you Canadians ... ignore the Toronto Maple Leaf's Hat from my friend Andrea which I now love and focus on the T-Shirt only!) Cheers!

Bathroom Drama Part Two
|
|
@WORK. Ok, so seriously ... this is getting out of hand. I went back into the bathroom this afternoon and there was a terd on the floor in the handicapped stall. I mean come on ... this is a nice building, a nice place, how does something like that happen? How can you be sitting down in there and then all of a sudden a terd flys out onto the floor? And then to make matters worse it's just left there on the floor right in front of the door. I mean really, even if it's because you stand up and you didn't realize you had a cling-on at first and it falls on the floor, wouldn't you make an effort to pick it up? Can someone please explain this to me? What a day, first it's the guy from the 3rd floor having a blow out (and when I say blow out, I mean blow out ... I heard it and it didn't sound pretty!) and now it's it the case of the abandoned terd ... what else can happen here today. I think I"m going home now!

Don't You Have Your Own Bathroom?
|
|
@WORK. It really bothers me when people come from other floors to use the bathroom on my floor. I mean seriously, there are bathrooms as big as this one on every floor, do you really need to take the elevator up or down a few floors to come and take a shit in the one on my floor? I just don't get it? I'm sure the bathrooms on your floors are not full, it's probably just the fact that you believe no one personally knows you here on my floor, so you feel you can come here and have an ass blow-out without worrying about your friends and co-workers seeing you come out of the bathroom. Well the gig's up people ... We know what you're doing! Stay on your own floor and quit letting the mad chipper on my floor to ruin the sanctity of our bathroom.

A Sucker is Born Every Minute!
|
@WORK. Interesting post on Kurt's (whoever's) Blog ... I guess it's true that you can never really believe what you read.
Wednesday, February 23, 2005 -- To The Readers. This is the 2nd hardest thing I have to do. Let me say from the start I am very sorry that a lot of people got caught up in this. Michael from Satellite of Blog was right about me. This was some kind of game I played on him I got caught by Michael but did I do the right thing no I didn't I keep the game going! He is not the one to blame for he was being honest I wasn't.I have came clean to Michael that was the hardest thing I had to do. This ride needed to stop I wanted off the ride. I finally showed and proved to Michael who I was and with all that happen he told me I had no reason to do what I did for he thought I was cute! Thanks for saying that!I am still working on the why I did it myself I still haven't found the reason. Michael has been great with this I told him my real name he has seen me on cam he has allowed me to keep my name too myself and him. I thank him for that. I am sorry that I lead everybody on and regret any heartache I may have cause.This has been a very hard couple weeks for me but I see light at the end of the tunnel. This will be the last post from Star Over The Water! I wish everybody good health and hope you get out of life all the best! Again I am very sorry to the readers of this blog and to Michael! I hate to say this, because I got sucked into reading his blog just as much as everyone else, but about 2 weeks ago, I had a gut feeling this was the truth. I happened to be searching for something on the internet and came across a modeling profile of the person whose photos he was using on his blog. These were the images that were 'posted' as profile images for Kurt and Chad in the StarsOverTheWater Blog in the very beginning. Out of curiosity I did a little searching and the details on the blog didn't really match what I found on the internet for these models. I continued to read and gave 'Kurt' the benefit of the doubt. I was anxiously awaiting the website and pictures that "Matt' was supposed to be doing for them. At this point I'm questioning if 'Matt' is also a made up person.
This whole thing seems like such an elaborate hoax to fool people. I can't imagine how someone would want to spend so much time and energy into such an unproductive activity. Oh well ... Live and learn right? At least it was entertaining reading. Cheers!

Ummm ... What the Hell is That Smell?
|
@HOME. Ok so today is the second day in a row I noticed a foul smell after getting into the car. At first I just thought it was the odor from the rotten salmon I threw out last Thursday night.(trash doesn't come again until Thursday morning) But no, because I smelled it when we went to lunch and then I smelled it again when we came home from work, and then I smelled it again when I got in the car after stopping at Costco. I searched the car for a hint of leftover food that someone may have accidentally put under the seat, but nothing found. Now mind you, the car is very clean and nothing out of place so I was sure I would have seen a food container. I even went to the extent of looking under hood and the wheel wells for a dead animal (I'm not going to discuss that night or the cat I thought was a pot-hole right now) So anyway after we finally get home, Justin looks in the back seat and notices that the floor mat is soaking wet. So after lifting that up, we find that there is about 1/2 inch of water in the right back floorwell. Nice. The car isn't even 2 years old yet. Anyway I did some poking around and I found this plug underneath the underbody that perhaps let some water in as we were driving through a few rather large puddles on the way to get drunk this weekend. Oops. I guess the Toyota isn't made for anything but nice weather. Who knew? Anyway I proceeded to get the shop vac out and vacuum the water. Needless to say I found the source of the odor, it was the mildew from the water. I sprayed the floor down with Clorox spray disinfectant, so hopefully it will be better tomorrow. One can only hope right?
Off to bed before another day at the salt mines. Cheers.

Saturday Out, Sunday Sushi
|
@HOME. So we decided to go out last night with Mark and Andrea. We headed first to Amsterdam's where we had a few cocktails and ran into some people we met a few weeks ago. We then headed up to Charlies around midnight where we ran into Jason, Chris, Don and some others. Kevin who was at Amsterdam's and said he wasn't going to Charlies, showed up there with his ex-boyfriend. He was extremely drunk but funny nevertheless. Kevin told us he just took a job in Los Angeles and will be headed out this week. That's sort of disappointing because Justin and I have been running into him for the past few weeks and he seems like a really fun guy.
Following Charlies we headed over to the Denny's Restaurant which everyone refers to as "Genny's" or the "Gay Denny's." It was packed as usual on a Saturday night at 2:30 am. We didn't have to wait long for a table, and saw a few other friends that were there as well. Soon after we headed home and to bed.
Today was spent cleaning up around the house and doing some laundry. I had a great conversation with my friend Dave from London. He was telling me about England allowing Civil Unions. I explained to him how conserative the United States was as I don't think he quite realized how bad it was. He suggested Justin and I look at trying to move to Canada or Europe. I wish. I would seriously consider it. This evening we headed over to Sakanas Sushi Restaurant for dinner with Mark and Andrea. Following dinner we headed back to our house to do some work on a new proposal. It was a good day and Justin and I are just sitting on the couch watching TV right now.
We have off from work tomorrow because it's a national holiday for us. I love these 3-day weekends. Alright I'm off ... Cheers.Labels: Travel

Abducted by Aliens and Relocated To Seattle
|
@HOME. Ok ... WTF. It's been raining here again for 4 days straight. Can someone please tell me exactly when it was that I was abducted by aliens and relocated to Seattle in a neighborhood and house that looks exactly like mine?
Hello ... It's PHOENIX, it's the DESERT! It's not supposed to be raining here every day. It's supposed to be hot, dry and dusty. That's why we all love living here (yeah right!). I could have stayed in San Francisco if I wanted this weather. There are weeds growing in places that are supposed to have anything growing. The worst part about all this is that it's rained for the past 3-4 weekends in a row. I'm alright with rain while I'm working, but the weekends are my time. Mother nature and I are about to have it out.
Actually I don't really mind the rain. I know I'll be bitching this summer when it's 120 degrees outside, so I'm going to enjoy the clouds while they last. I did get a few hours yesterday without any rain where I was finally able to go outside and chop down the botanical garden growing in my front yard. I thought I better get it done before I get some nasty gram from the homeowners association about the decline in care of my yard.
Not too much going on today, Justin and I are just hanging out and enjoying a lazy day. Cheers!

Dinner and the Great Gay Debate.
|
@HOME. Ok so Justin and I were invited to Mykle and Doug's house for dinner tonight. They had 2 friends (Chris and Kevin) in town from Seattle and 2 other friends (John and Kevin) up for dinner as well.
The dinner was fabulous. Mykle made Filet Mignon (Which I might add here that on Wednesday night I had just gotten done telling him how I had decided to give up red meat and how happy I was about it. He laughed and informed me the menu of steak for tonight and graciously offered to make me something else. Of course I declined, I'm definitely not about causing someone extra work, so I simply rescinded my avoidance of red meat for a week. Pathetic, I know, shaddup!)
Following dinner the great debate ensued for the rest of the evening. I don't know how it got started but politics, religion, gay rights, marriage, and license plates among others ended up as the topics. It was open season on everything. At one point both of the Kevins were arguing with each other, well not arguing, but more like strongly trying to persuade the other Kevin to his point. It's amazing how a group of gay men can argue about basically the same views. It was a great conversation and I really enjoyed being able to take part.
Having dinner, drinks and conversation with this group of gay men was really fulfilling and reminiscent of the group of friends and late-night conversations Justin and I were are part of in San Francisco. It's actually been a while since we've been in this setting, and it was such a nice change.
As much as I love my straight friends (they can't help being straight, it wasn't a choice for them) I really do enjoy being among a group of other gay men. It's refreshing, and it's almost like we're "with our people" I know that might sounds trivial, but the level of comfort, the conversation topics, the language, the subtle digs at each other, and the raw dynamics of the group was something I've only ever experienced in these social settings.
Bottom line. Justin and I need more gay friends and social gatherings. It's really nice to be among "our people".

I Should Be In Bed!
|
@HOME. It's getting late and I should be in bed, but I have off tomorrow so I was just doing some catch up online reading.
I was following the links off of Anonyboy's Blog and I came across a few blogs somewhere in the chain that had been abandoned. As I said in a previous post, I've been doing this for a few years and I just can't understand why someone would go through so much trouble of setting it up and writing to suddenly stop. Just my thoughts anyway.
There are some really interesting people out there that's all I have to say. Also there are some really great blogs to read. I have most of the ones I read links on this page, but the few I never miss are Charlie, Ryan, Sean, Gatchan and Brechi. It's like a ritual now, every day before bed I check them out to see what's going on.
Alright well I do have a business meeting in the morning and then I'm home for the day off so I better get to be here, as 6 AM is going to come pretty early. Cheers!

A Heavy Burden
|
|
@WORK. Ok so the strangest thing happened to my co-worker whom I will refer to as 'Alice'. Alice was sitting in the cube next to me going about her daily tasks when her huge 20" monitor decided to start sliding off the tilted monitor stand at her desk. I guess she tried to put her hands up and keep it from falling on her head. Meanwhile I'm having a conversation with one of my co-workers when Alice screams and we look over and see her holding this huge monitor in her lap. I guess it just decided to slide right off the stand. Nice. Of course I stood there and laughed as my other co-worker ran over to help get it off of her. So the moral of the story is don't get a tilting monitor stand, and if you do, don't expect me to help you get out from under it when the monitor slides off. Alice was ok.

Part of the Gay Community?
|
@WORK. So last night was our monthly "secret gay meeting" as my straight friends like to refer to it. In actuality, it was a monthly Corporate Pride Mixer sponsored by the Greater Phoenix Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. It's a one a month event that gives us the opportunity to network with some other GLBT people from companies across the valley. The turnout last night was small, only about 20 people or so. The event usually consists of some networking time, an icebreaker, and then aninformational session on a particular topic. The icebreaker was a quiz taken from the Advocate to see where you ranked on taking a stance on GLBT issues. I think I must have been sitting with the very 'gay' section of the group because our table all scored 90 or higher. I was really disappointed when we went around to tell everyone how we scored and I heard people say 50, 60, 70 and then say that reflected their personality and were proud of that score. I couldn't help to wonder why these people were proud of that fact that they weren't doing much to help the gay community as a whole.
I keep thinking that if you want to be part of the gay community then BE part of it. Do something with yourself. As Harvey Fierstein said on an episode of 'In The Life', if you don't participate in Pride, and you don't participate in fighting for our rights, then you're letting everyone else do all the work and you're not really "part" of the gay community, you're just a leech.
My perspective has really changed on this the past few years. The more and more I see documentaries regarding past activists, and people such as Harvy Milk, I realize that it was only through the efforts of these people that we have what we do today. Without people taking an unpopular stand on difficult issues, no one will hear our voice and realize that we want the same rights as everyone else. So with that said, take a stand, do something, be proud of who you are and stand up for your rights as that's the only way we are going to be heard across the world. Cheers!

Valentines Day After
|
|
@HOME. It feels like it's been a long week already and it's only Tuesday. Only 2 more days to go, I'm taking off on friday to get some things done around the house. So yesterday was Valentines Day. It's really difficult to get something for your partner when you both drive to work together and you both are always around each other. When I walked down from my office and met Justin in the parking lot he turned around and handed me a single rose in a vase. He had 'acquired it' from his office since it was their first day on campus. It was so sweet of him. We headed up to AZ-88 for dinner and had a nice evening. At AZ-88 we ran into our friends Steve and Jeff on the way out. Seems like all the gay boys were out on the town last night. I was a little tired so we headed home after dinner to watch some TV and then head to bed. It was a nice quiet evening and I think we both enjoyed it.

Bloggers Anonymous?
|
@HOME. So I know the first step to having a problem is admitting you have one. Well here it is, I'm just going to throw it out there ... I'm a Blog addict. Ok now I said it, I feel better.
I learned early while at University that it made me feel better to write. It helped me to sort out my feelings and basically get things out of my head. Sort of a cleansing therapy I suppose. I started out by writing letters, moved to keeping a paper handwritten journal and then to keeping an online journal. I think I really started my online journal back in 2000. I had thought about posting all of my old journal entries, both paper and online, but Blogger didn't allow you do post anything back prior to 1999. I just checked and it appears that they changed that, so I may just go back and retroactively post some of my older things to just have on file.
Anyway let me get to my point here. When I first started my online journal my friends would religiously read it. I was always out and about in San Francisco doing something so my life was much more interesting. (At least it seemed so to me ...) I thought it was cool that everyone was reading my "Journal" then, but didn't quite get it. Well now that it seems like everyone and their mother has a Blog these days, I have to admit that I'm an addict. I have a few peoples lives which I follow religiously. It almost feels like stalking or something ... Just on a smaller scale. I even have friends reading some of these other Blogs, so it really is a downward spiral of despair.
I guess Blog reading is one of life's guilty little pleasures. I enjoy it, and I enjoy learning more about people I follow and their lives. Alright, I'm off to bed. Cheers!

Straight Couple Traditions
|
@HOME. So today Justin and I were tasked with going to pick up a gift for the "Couple's Wedding Shower" that we were invited too this afternoon. I have to say, I hadn't really given it much thought until I was standing in Williams Sonoma today with the Wedding Registry in hand. "THIS SUCKS!" ... That's pretty much what I felt like screaming out to everyone in the store, but for fear of being carted out of the mall by security, I refrained. I had the realization of, no it wasn't the outrageous prices of that store, but the fact that it's just taken for granted that the straights get to have these little pre-wedding parties where everyone showers them with gifts. Now as if that weren't enough, it's not just the shower gifts, but then the actual wedding gifts, then the baby showers, then the anniversary parties, it's just a never ending black hole of breeder gift giving parties. I mean I guess I realized all this before but it just really hit home with me today. I told Justin as we were in the store that it really #1, pisses me off that we can't get married and have shit like this, and #2, that we probably don't even have many other friends that would actually buy us anything even if we could have a wedding.
Ok now before some of you comment and tell me that we can have a ceremony and have a shower, I know that. It's just the principle of the whole thing. I hate to be bitter about all this, because I'm usually not, but it just sucks that we can't get married if we choose too. I don't want a civil union, I don't want a domestic partnership, I want to get married, have a big fucking blow out bash, and I want lots of gifts dammit. But most of all I want to be able to say to the world, this is Justin ... he's my husband ... I have chosen to spend the rest of my life with him ... I love him ... we were married on {insert date}. But at this rate that's never going to happen here in the states. We're surrounded but a bunch of fucking religious fanatics that have nothing better to do then worry about how, two people who love each other and want to get married, is going to launch the world into chaos and flush life as we know it down the toilet.
Is it too much to ask of the straights, that before criticizing all of us as a whole, that maybe some time is taken first to meet some gay and lesbian couples and see that we're really not all that different. All we want is to have the freedom to live our lives, be happy and have our relationships recognized by EVERYONE.
Now the last thing I'm going to say about all this, before I raise my blood pressure anymore tonight, is I know we could technically go to Canada and get married as one of my best friends, Andrea, keeps telling me, but what fucking good will that do unless I move there? And lets get this straight sister, while I really want to visit your hometown of Toronto, and as much of a wonderful and beautiful place I'm sure it is, I really don't foresee myself living in the frozen tundra, or Canada as you refer to it.
Anyway I digress. I really didn't mean to go on that rant right now, but I did. So a pastry cutter, a spoongula, and a gift card from Williams and Sonoma later, we spent the evening watching our friends Don and Kris open presents brought to them by all the other married couples, and 2 gay couples who will never know what that experience truly feels like.

Saturday Night Out
|
|
@HOME. So this morning both Justin and I ended up waking up on the living room couch at around 6:30 am. The last thing I remember from Saturday night was scarfing down a fake Bocca Burger that Justin made me. Saturday was a fun day, we went clothes shopping and then decided to go out for a bit. Our usual round to Amsterdams for a few cocktails and then up to Charlies again to check it out. I used to be pretty scared of Charlies, but it seems to be bringing in a much less ... well .... scarier crowd these days. I guess it's a lot more normal people and a lot more younger people. Regardless, we had fun. We ran into an old friend, Brett, who was there with his new boyfriend. I'm happy for him, he needs someone nice. We also ran into Don, Justin's co-worker who was totally cracking us up all night. I think we were doing pretty well until we both did the shot of Rumplemintz. That pretty much fucked me up enough that we had to stay for a few hours to sober up. I think we ended up leaving around 3:30AM. It was fun.

Interesting Reading?
|
@HOME. It's still raining outside. The botanical garden in the front lawn is still going strong. I was looking through an add for a Gay Book club I got in the mail today and these looked interesting. I may have to add them to my reading list.
 
Well I'm off to finish cleaning off my desk and the rest of the house.

Justin's Co-Worker Don or Ivana ... You Decide.
|
@HOME. Ok so I just scanned this photo tonight.
This picture is from New Year's Eve. We ran into Don, one of Justin's co-workers at Amsterdams that night. These people walked into the bar and I was thinking I hope those women realize they are in a gay bar. The next thing I know this one is walking over to us and I realized it was a drag queen. I'm thinking why the hell is this drag queen coming over to us ... and then thinking oh lord this drag queen IS coming over to us. So he just stands there and looks at us for a second before Justin yells out ... "Oh My God ... Don!" What a trip. He looked pretty good.

Rain for Two Days
|
@HOME. It's been one of those weeks again. Crazy busy with work and not enough energy to sit on the computer when I get home. I can't believe it's been raining here for 2 days now and is supposed to rain for the rest of the weekend. Mark and I were driving home from work this week and it's crazy around here. There is grass growing in places that it's not supposed to grow. If I didn't know I was in the desert, I'd really believe I was living in some lush tropical island. I guess Phoenix really is fertile ground when there is water. Too bad all this water from the past month isn't being captured in our underground reserves. They said it takes snow to refill the reserves and get rid of the drought. My friends laugh at my front yard every time they come over. It's been named the "Mesa Botanical Garden" as I have so many weeds sprouting up. This one weed has a big ass yellow flower on it and is starting to scare me. I swear if I see teeth and it starts talking to me I'm going to sell the house.
Not a whole lot planned for this weekend if it's going to rain all weekend. I really need to get out and work on the yard a bit but I guess thats going to have to wait. Justin has to go into the office on Sunday to unpack his boxes and get ready for Monday. It will be interesting since we're both going to be working at the same campus now.
Our friends Mykle and Doug want us to apply to be on the Amazing Race. I'm not so sold on it, but I know that Justin really wants to do it. And on that note, all I have to say is that I can't believe that bitch Kendra and her nasty ass boyfriend Freddie won last week. I was really rooting for Jon and Kris, expecially since Jon is from here in Arizona. It probably dosen't hurt that he is so FUCKING HOT! Anyway, I digress.
I can't believe that it's Valentines day coming up here on Monday. This past year went by so fast and this one is cruzing as well. I'm looking forward to the long weekend next weekend, maybe I'll take Friday off as well and make it even longer. Anyway I have to go, we're going to go out and grab some food. Cheers!
