When two people are on the same page they get to read the adventures and drama of life along-side each other and find out how things will play out together. Sadly, I’m waiting to start the big romance novel of life but everyone I meet is finished the book and having a rest from the library for a bit.
Today’s non-date went as well as anything could have been anticipated except that there won’t be any happily ever after in this tale of two boys. Conversation flowed very easily, witty banter, general chit chat, all sorts of bits and pieces. We had a couple of beers at the pub, then went and played a bit of lawn bowls over a few more beers in the sunshine before a quick bite to eat. Not once did the conversation falter.
Sadly, even though to me, it felt really natural and comfortable and like there was a mutual attraction, nothing is to come of it because of his recent break up. So we have two options before us. We can get to know each other as friends or we could possibly become fuck buddies. I’m ruling out the fuck buddies thing but if we become friends and he finds himself ready to date, there is the risk that we’ll be too close as friends by then to think of dating, but that’s the option I’m taking. He’s a really nice, sweet, funny, cute, intriguing guy and I’m not going to throw away someone like that as a friend for a roll in the hay once in a while.
Two friends of mine were up in Byron Bay a couple of weeks ago and spent an afternoon at the Tea Tree lakes just outside Byron. I’ve been there once before and it was beautiful, but they stumbled across a scene that I wish I’d been there to witness.
The tea tree lakes are beautiful small lakes in amongst some bushland and people regularly find a quiet spot and sunbathe nude and enjoy the atmosphere and I’m sure gay me and the not-quite-straight men enjoy other activities in the privacy of some bushes too.
My friends were walking around the lake when they saw about 9 guys all about 18-23 some in the water and some out of the water, all young, fit and nude. They were splashing each other, wrestling, swimming and just plain old frolicking. Then they all stood in the shallows and started painting each other’s bodies in the black mud that was at the bottom of the lake. Now, my friend is prone to a little exaggeration but he doesn’t just make stuff up. I can’t imagine 9 Sydney guys of that age or any age doing that, at least without it descending into a big ol’ gay orgy. These guys just painted each other, my friend stood trasfixed, watching and said they didn’t get orgiastic on each other and he doesn’t even know if they are gay. Sounds like a great bunch of guys!
Tomorrow I’m going on a non date and there is nearly as much to think about as going on a date-date. What does one wear on a non-date? Do you dress slightly less than to impress because you aren’t? Are you not-as-witty and charming as you would be on a date-date?
A couple of years ago there was lots of mutual checking-each-other-out at the gym of a morning with a guy who was there regularly. Last week, through mutual friends, he added me as a friend on face-book which is fast becoming the new gaydar/singles bar. It’s much easier with facebook, rather than asking your friends if you can have the number of their cute friend you met out, you just trawl through their list of friends and send a message or a friend request.
So we’ve been chatting back and forth for several days now and decided to catch up tomorrow for a drink. After more chatting to and fro, I half-jokingly asked if it was a date to which he replied that it’s not really a date because he’s only broken up with someone a few weeks ago and isn’t ready. There were other things said in the conversations to suggest that he’s kinda keen but we’re just treating it as a catch-up-and-finally-meet which will be fun. From the conversations we’ve had thus far I think we have a similar sense of humour so at the very least we’ll have a good laugh and a new friend.
Gay Marriage still is not on the cards here in Australia with our Prime Minister and people in his Parliament stating yet again that it’s not going to happen, but Kevin Rudd is still maintaining his promise to equalise legislation for those in same sex relationships.
Our Senate passed amendments to family, taxation and health laws so that homosexual couples have the same access to services as married, de-facto and common law couples. It’s a great step, but I’d love to see gay marriage legalised. I don’t want the religious connotations but the total commitment and legal aspects that marriage offers.
Matthew Mitcham continues to rake in the accolades and awards after his stunning win in Beijing. Sadly that hasn’t been followed with sponsorship deals. Diving has never been a glory kinda sport but surely there’s a big company out there who wants someone articulate, down-to-earth, hot and talented to represent them?
“Readers of The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald voted that Mitcham’s upset win over his favoured Chinese opponents, sealed with a final dive that received a perfect 10 from four of the seven diving judges, was the year’s best sporting achievement.”
I love a good video of a hot buff naked man, even better when there are two of them who happen to be identical! This is a short video of the photo shoot of some hot twins getting nude for Playgirl. We like, very much. I’m still waiting for an opportunity to live out my twins fantasy. Any hot applicants?
My desire to surf nude has not exactly been a secret here on Aussielicious and I’m hoping this summer, if it ever decides to arrive, will be the summer that I can do it finally. The one time I’ve actually seen someone do it, they looked so happy and relaxed and I guess free. I’ll be in Byron Bay next year for a long weekend, maybe I’ll get the chance up there. If there are any readers up there, let me know if there is anywhere possible!
I know I’m a long way from the first to post these shots but I just had to jump on this bandwagon. I personally think Hugh is totally sexy pretty much all the time but these shots are damned hot. What is really interesting is how he even looks more Italian in these shots for Italian Vanity Fair.
Working off the ground brings with it some inherent risks, and I guess adding dramatic drops and tricks adds to that danger. In the show I performed last week and in the upcoming show for my aerials school, I did/am doing a trick that is absolutely brutal on the ankles and I think to make sure they don’t actually snap, I’ll cheat it in the rehearsals and give my right ankle a break before it breaks.
Basically you wrap the fabric around both ankles in a figure 8 and around the first ankle again for a second time, then dramatically dive backwards so you end up dangling by your feet. Having done it in rehearsals now for two weeks, my right ankle really does feel like it’s at breaking point.
A while back I posted about Francois Rousseau’s new book “Ora” and ordered a copy for a friend in the UK’s birthday. I had a few emails from Amazon.co.uk saying the order had been delayed but now it’s not even available and maybe I’m doing something wrong but Francois’ website isn’t loading for me either.
Does anyone know what’s happened with the release of this book? It looks like a stunning book and I was hoping to order myself a copy or put it on my christmas list for my family as they are bound to start asking what I want.
Tonight was supposed to be a quick nude picnic dinner on the beach with some friends. It’s looked sunny here all day when the five of us turned up to the beach for a sunset picnic, the southerly wind was whipping across the water and we had bugger all chance of taking our clothes off! It’s a shame but several laughs were had as we kept our clothes on and tried to find more to add!
I told you about it earlier and here’s the official teaser from aussieBum. If you spend AUD$100 or more you get a free copy of the HD-DVD with your order. There are all sorts of never before seen bits of footage and it’s got enough eye candy to give you diabetes!
I know that people read this blog for a bunch of different reasons but mostly it’s the naked men that get people in. I’m curious as to how often you all come and read Aussielicious?
The other day on facebook I saw that Mike, the guy I was going to move to the U.S. for a couple of years ago, had updated his status to being in a relationship. It’s not the first one he’s had since us, the last one was with a porn star, which kinda perfectly suited Mike’s version of monogamy until the porn star wanted too much committment for Mike.
It’s been two years, almost to the day since Mike and I called things off and while I don’t resent him, it’s only recently that I’ve stopped being hurt and angry with him. We’ve stayed in touch and I have a lot of time for him, and while there was no abuse, either physical or emotional, he did hurt me quite a bit. Having said that, I’ve learnt a lot about myself in relationships and I wasn’t totally guilt free, but it has left a few emotional scars.
So it got me thinking, when I realised I was amused by the facebook status update because he wasn’t ready for anything serious but has now had two relationships, how are we supposed to feel when an ex moves on? Of course there are a million factors in the equation, like how long you were together, who ended it, was there cheating or abuse or did things merely just fizzle out. When I see my first boyfriend out, and he’s one of those people who ALWAYS has a boyfriend and is unable to be alone, I want to run up to the boyfriend and scream “RUN!!!”
I hate to admit it but I’m very glad to be rid of my moustache. I know Movember still has a bit over a week to go but I had to get rid of my porntache. This morning 5 gay lifesavers were interviewed and photographed for a special “Australian” edition of the French gay magazine Tetu and quite frankly, there was no way I was going to be put in print in an international gay magazine looking like a dodgy pedophile from the 80’s.
The edition, to be released in January I believe will feature articles on Hugh Jackman, Australia the movie and all sorts of other bits and pieces along with a 4 page article on gay lifesavers. I can’t wait to see how the shots come out. The lighting down at the beach was beautiful.
