September....

Wow... summer's over. The Doggies are all back in their cages. And I'm now working as a Flyman on a Chinese Opera out in Richmond ( near the vancouver Airport ) every day I drive to work I'm wanting to take the overpass that takes me to the departure gate. Not, that I don't like Chinese Opera, ( The community group that puts the...

SuperDogs....

Here's my current gig...


Hopefully this link works. Because it's really the only way to describe the show. Tens of Dogs running Helter Skelter 24/ 7 for 16 days in a row. Three shows a day, no stopping. No time for paying bills, doing laundry. Just tens of dogs and thousands of familes and kids cheering screaming and petting dogs. While munching down copious...

Better you than me watching the same show for 16 days.

The first sentence would read, "My name is Dean and this is my story.". Kinda simple.

Here and Now...

Fall seems to have come early... I'm O.K. with that... I'm and Industrial/goth kid, who works in dark theatres. Summer was never my forte.

My Brother ( Who's sadly turned out to be the kind of lying, cheating, asshole Douche-bag that I call other guys who score innocent, young, multiple women and leave them, fucked up in their wake ) is prepping...

Yeah...i sort of dig on the side of your soon to be ex-sister-in-law. Was once in the same position as her...when ya divorce it's like losing a second family and everything else...hope to never re-live that nightmare ever again. Your parents seem smart.

Siblings can be very frustrating to deal with. I hired my younger sister thinking I could help mold her into someone that society would be proud of. Wrong, I had to fire her after a couple months.

1976

I was 9 years old living in Rossland B.C.

America and anything American was cool. Even in Canada, on the west coast, American flags were in. Sure, there was the 76 Olympics in Montreal but for a kid at age 9 on the other side of the continent, Quebec was another country. I do remember watching the gymnastics events with my sister and this...

The Dream Of A Straight Pride Day

It's Gay Pride Week again in Vancouver. The real start of summer here. Or, as I like to call it: Straight Envy Week.

I don't know about you straight girls, ( because I can't get into your heads to save my life... or have a remotely reasonable sex life ) but, us Average Frustrated Chump straight guys. Really...

Thank you for the comments on my blog. You rock! I actually am looking forward to aging. I have this perfect image of me being this old, demented, pervy old lady with tons of cats. I'll play backgammon on my porch and soak my dentures in whisky (even though I don't drink). When I'm inclided to do so, I'll chuck my dentures at people as they pass my house. Yes!

From : The Information Clearinghouse

Here's the best summary of what concerns me in the next few years. As my country ( Canada ) is so tied to yours. And many of my friends south of the border will be greatly affected by this current downturn. As the first thing that people cut out of their budget is high priced entertainment.

With all the outside...

7 Deadly Sins....

So, I 've convinced my Friend Michelle AND... her BF to come out to Sin City. I even loaned him some of my Pervy wear. As he showed up without and probably feeling a bit wrong dressed. We all had a good time watching all the Burlesque bits.. the piercing demo... A few drinks... and a bit of Voyuerism. Once again, I...

If it were me I'd want you to just come out and ask me to be your wing man!!
realistic67:
I have asked... the problem is... I guess. Is it's after the fact... Not before the night starts or when I feel I want that help at the moment.

See, I just introduce her ( and Others ) to people. And I work really hard at it. As I don't know many people at clubs.

I just don't mention names... I provide a connecting back-story " Cindy, here with the latex corset. is also a teacher..." " This is James, the guy in the latex dress and Kiss boots, who is my next door neighbor and runs a brewery. " Etc.

I do this without being asked. You know.... to help get the person I'm with over the first 5 seconds of meeting someone new that I know. And, I do this because I realise how hard it is to say the first thing to someone new. And I think it's the polite thing to do. I kind of wish for the more formal 1950's ( Without all the starched shirts and poodle skirts. ) When it was customary to introduce people to people. It seems like a more civilized time.

I just don't get why I can't for the life of me find a friend who has the chustpa to return the favour. It's like introductions and conversation are a lost art.

I've been very busy the past few days... I got a call to replace the IA touring Spot Op on Spamalot. Who are here in town for another week. The guy had a funeral to go to and that last minute replacement gigs is something I like to do. You know... run in and be the hero sort of thing. And it was a...

An Almost Tale Of Two Michelles

Another night at Sin City. Previous to it I was faced with a choice of two women to hang with. Not a regular state of my existence. So, I made the fatal error of choosing the friend over a possible friend with benefits. One, a girl who likes to dance with me. But was seeing a guy at the...

We don't seem to have a summer in the UK these days. I've spent a couple of summers in Ontario, and I'd say that they were superior to our terrible summer season. Oh, and Stonehenge is still fenced in, I just managed to keep it out of shot.

Not returning the wing manning is plain rude on your friends part. Opposite sex friendships can be the most rewarding, but they're sure as hell the hardest.

The Mexicans

One of the great things about our cities thrust of work before 2010 is the influx of Mexican workers. ( If your Lou Dobbs, I realize that your rolling in your sleep at the mere thought of welcoming foreign workers to your shores. ) But, we need better Mexican restaurants in this city. It's cornered the market on sushi shops, chinese restaurants and...

Out of my sixty employees fifty five are Mexican. Not student workers but as far as I know legal. We have to run there numbers and ID's before I can hire them. A hand full of them have become close friends of mine. A couple of years ago I actually drove down to Monterey to visit, it was a great trip . Definitely be careful with the flirting when there is a group, Hispanic men can be extremely jealous.
