Drink 'n' Drown

A three month period where my tweaked out friend Dale and I tried to run a nightclub, when the Office in Pensacola closed and before Emerald City opened. I remember lots of Tina 🙂 lots of after hours extracurricular activities and making a lot of money slinging drinks. I also remember some of the Quarter rats we hired being busy all night, then when we cashed them out they had rung like $77 in sales, and kept the rest…One small highlight, we did get Lydia Prim, one of the best DJs in the world, to spin a few nights.

I had my fake ID when I was in high school. I still remember how I felt at 16 years old, standing upstairs and looking down at Backstreet’s dance floor. The DJ was playing “Tarzan Boy” by Baltimora and it was confirmed…I was a gay.

*I think this video is from the late 90’s, I wasn’t even born yet

vocals at 1:30

See girl lately I’ve been lonely seeing you
And you never come around no more
You never show your face no more
And I wonder why, babe
See girl, lately I’ve been watching you, girl
And you seem so lost, in another world
Girl it’s driving me crazy
Not knowing what’s on your mind
Talk to me, talk to me
Tell me who
Who keeps changing your mind?

Sitting on top of the world
Watching the stars go by
I got my head in a dream
Got my head in a cloud
I can fly I can fly I can fly
So get high, get high
Get high, get high
So get high, get high
Get high, get high

abreathe vick

Such a clear, pure, inspirational track…I feel good every time I hear this song:

With every waking breath I breathe I see what life has dealt to me

With every sadness I deny I feel a chance inside me die

Give me a taste of something new

To touch to hold to pull me through

Send me a guiding light that shines across this darkened life of mine

Breathe some soul in me

Breathe your gift of love to me

Breathe life to lay ‘fore me

Breathe to make me breathe

Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can’t and that is why
They know not if it’s dark outside or light

The White Party, Not

The White Party was this weekend. Two of my favorite DJs, Tracy Young and Joe Gauthreaux, were spinning at the biggest venue. I didn’t even remotely consider going, I have lost my confidence and the cockiness needed to deal with all the attitude that comes with a circuit party event. My excitement on this Sunday was a trip to the Swap Shop flea market, which I have grown fond of.

My purchases:

Pair of gently used Nikes: $8

An Outsider Art/Primitive/Expressionist 🙂 piece of artwork: $5

Nag Champa incense: $2

Colgate Total: $1.50

also: $1 for some not-Febreze and $1 for some not-Lysol from the Dollar Tree…for the shoes, just in case

The Gay Road Less Traveled

A friend of mine who used to be one of the hard working under appreciated social workers for the State here in Pensacola has written a book now available on Kindle, John Jernigan’s “The Gay Road Less Traveled.” I purchased it tonight to start it, couldn’t out it down, it was so funny. Graphic, real, and hysterical, John’s writing is endearing, funny, smart and if you happen to be drinking coffee, it may shoot out of your nose at some point during one of his vignettes. You can read it on Kindle.
