Sydney


The library was the only peaceful place in the house. I could hide out there for hours without anyone interrupting my thoughts and pestering me with stupid remarks about the way I chose to live my life. “Being La’Vou comes with certain responsibilities Sydney. Which means that you should be cautious of how you conduct yourself in and outside of these walls” is what my mother constantly would say to me as if I honestly cared how the public viewed me. Hell my own kin didn’t like me that much so how much weight could the opinions of Anyone outside these walls really carry. Besides the folks outside these walls probably regarded me in higher standing than my own family did.

It was only in the last few months that I had even been allowed to return back home after being shipped off to boarding school like an untrained puppy my last two years of high school, and that was only after I had refused to go to the college that my mother and father had picked out for me and bought my way into. My grades where hardly good enough for the Ivy League, of course my families money and name weren’t.

PILLOW TALK...

 
by Rafael Solece

There is something to be said about sharing yourself with someone. GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER BOYS AND GIRLS! I am not talking about sex. I am talking about talking. More specifically I am talking about the act of sharing your most intimate thoughts and feelings with someone. Not just anyone, but someone special.
Granted that is one of the most uncomfortable feelings in the world. Telling someone, anyone, your secretes. Especially someone you are attracted to or someone you are dating or in a relationship with. It seems to me that where we seem to be able to tell our friends all of the gory details of our lives; our perverse sexual fantasies and our deepest insecurities, when it comes to sharing those things with the people who matter most we just don't have the nerve.
And that is kind of pathetic when you think about it.
I mean how in the world do we expect to cultivate long lasting relationships if we do not feel comfortable enough to go at it RAW!

"When is Too Much Too Soon?"


The real life confession of Rafael Solece:

I have been dating this guy for a few months now. I know what you’re thinking. There is always some guy. But seriously we’ve been seeing each other for about two months now. He is a really nice guy; very much out of the realm of what I would normally date.  He is, in a word, safe.
What I mean by that is. He is not typically what I would go for. You know me: I like the tall dark and handsome, corporate lawyer type, with a little jock and/or thug thrown in the mix. Very rarely do I go for the safe alternative. What can I say? I like a little danger. But I also know that, I haven’t had the best of luck procuring a life long partner dating those types of men. Usually they have more thug in them than corporate lawyer. So I decided that maybe I was acting a little insane in my pursuit of love and I thought that perhaps it was time for a change of pace.

Let Me Vent For a Minute

I can't begin to tell you how full my life is right now. With the new part time gig, gearing up to release my second book "Jaded by Any Other Name", the renovations on my house, and the post production for my first film project; I am feeling slighty taken aback by all the combatants that I am dealing with.
I am in no means complaining about the impending success coming my way, but I gotta tell you I sometimes wish I could by pass the frustration and oposition. Its especially frustrationing when dealing with oposition and undie frustrations from people in your life who know exactly what your goals are and they give undue grief, attitude, or stress. I a sure it is all part of that breaking ground process that comes along with building success, but seriously I good really do with out it.
Any way the plan fo the next month has been mapped out, as long as I stay focused and on course. There is nothing that could get in my way. So let's do this! Masquerade Productions all the way!

What Is The Golden Rule

What is going on in the world that dating has gotten to beso convuluted and frustrating? I mean do people even date anymore? I am asking because there seems to be way more sexing going down and hardly any dating going on at all. At least that is my experience.
I don't know about you but dating has become a real guessing game. I can't tell whether the men are seriously interested in me or if their just interested in my ass. And by the time I figure it out its usually too late, cause they've either gotten tired of waiting for the ass and moved on, gotten the ass and moved on, or gotten tired of my attitude and moved on. Either way I am loosing, and that ain't cool.
So seriously what's a guy to do? I am fastly approaching thirty and I haven't been in a serious relationship in five years now. Granted for three of those years I coul have cared less about settling down, but things change, people and their ideals change; and certainly I have grown up enough now to want more than to just be random sex. Sure its fun but while its happening (sometimes) but what do you do when the funs over and you've only got your rat-terrier and a duva to keep you warm at night. Well to answer my own question: you change. And I certainly need a change.
Of course that automatically got me to start asking my friends questions about their dating lives and sure enough a lot of them shared my feelings toward dating, men, and relationships. We were all "OVER IT"
And then enters Nolan. Nolan has been my friend for some years now and Nolan and I share similar reationship experience. We both have been in a very successful relationship that ended in tragedy and a very bad reltionship that ended in shame and bitternes. Well when Nolan was questioned about his dating experiences. Nolan immediately pulled out a little card he had tucked in his pocket and handed it to me.
On the front side it read "THE RULES" and on the back side it has a list of things and they read as follows.
Three Is Key
1. No sex until after the third date (Period)
2. Don't rush the "I Love You's" cause you don't really mean it.
3. Don't commite until After a Three Month Probationary period
4. Both parties should Discuss and Define your expectations. If you don't know what is expected the you can't be expected to know what you can or cannot do.
WhenpI looked up at him aftera long pause Olan simply smiled and said. Follow the Rules, the rules work. Now don't get me wrong, THE RULES make a lot of since, espscially in this modern society we live in now. But why are rules neccessary? And do we really need rules? Shouldn't some things be common since? (That is kind of rehtorical questiona) Of course I think rules are need especially when your dealing with gay men in Atlanta. The real question is will the rules work? Can we follow them? And will they actually lead to a long lasting relationship? Tell me wha you think.
