BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Bernadette Peters: Socialist , Capitalist, or 'Just a Pretty Little Thing'?

Remember once, as I stood surrounded, straining to listen, mostly left with  observing, all things men; how I wanted to know Bernadette Peters.

Today, looking back,  feel as if I've used her by knowing her in a way another man didn't; so ashamed for selfishly dragging the name of such a beautiful woman into that horrible ugly scene.



Sampson and Delilah's


"If there ever was a time when I might have considered having sex with a woman, that woman would have to have been Bernadette Peters."  I interjected during a chat between sets at the gym one day.

Couldn't believe what happened next!  The piece of good luck that landed in my lap.


"Who's that," asked my roommate, fuck buddy, perfectionist, boy genius, naturally handsome, chemically enhanced, shadow casting, cock blocking, best friend, the Mr. Omnipotent Troy himself?

"Oh please!  Turn in your gay card," said the guy we were both wanting to know.

Stereotypical was the last thing I ever wanted to be thought as.  But the fact's, Troy got dealt all the good cards; the popular ones.  The one's that gets you invited to parties, etc., etc., etc,!  Gay card or not, I was holding one in my hand of Bernadette Peters and  I wasn't about to "GO FISH" without pairing  those two precious "gay" cards! 

If you've never been in a gay gym, chat, or any word for activities that involves (s)talking, is code for: catching up with friends (being nosy), gossiping (vindictive), kissing and telling (lucky dogs beefing up or twinkling down their resumes), just being polite (cautious which bridges to burn), cornered (nice guys who smiled back), networking (usually broke), jonesing (needy something), motivationally charming (hottie being offered a spotting), complementary complimenting (mirror wasn't enough), constructive criticism (sour grapes). 

Never an uncalculated word spoken at a business that caters to egoistic competitions.

Sex by Proximity

Oh my!

Darkened room with the lights just on her!


How that song would tap into the fantasies of men!




Who wouldn't want to hear her sing?

Or,

mind paying just to get closer to her?
