418 Truth

I talk about the one thing that I find hardest to be truthful about to others. I conclude this podcast worrying about Jeremy and not knowing how he is doing. I would just like to know if he is happy. I don’t think that’s to much to ask of his family. Outro Music: “When the body speaks” by Depeche Mode. Mic: Shure SM7B; Mixer: Mackie DFX6; Recording device: Garageband.

Note: I consider this another stinker. I should have more clearly explained why I sympathize with the monsters v. humans carrying torches and pitchforks. Society makes people like us gays into monsters i.e., to be feared. Much like the church which looks upon homosexuality as an abomination. To them we are the physical representation of evil. To be hunted down and destroyed.

Frontal Nudity

Pesky Paris

Though I don’t own a dog, one of my favorite shows is National Geographic Channels, “The Dog Whisperer”. This past weekend I caught an episode of the Dog Whisperer featuring boyfriends, Nelson and Jhett who are the proud owners of Paris, a temperamental long-haired chihuahua who snaps at her admirers and who’d rather lead than follow. Nelson bought Paris when he was single. Now Nelson and Jhett share a place together with Paris. They hope Cesar Milan can make Paris realize who is the real leader of the pack.

WTF with Marc Maron

New comedy podcast. I first heard of Marc Maron during those dark first days of the George W. Bush Administration. Marc was employed by Air America Radio on a early, early morning show called Morning Sedition. That was when Air America had shows worth listening to. There was an instant connection with him and his social and political philosophy. We connected. At some point the corporatists made a decision to cancel “Morning Sedition” and replace it with some lame unmemorable goofus. That’s when Air America lost its way. They gave Marc a short stint as the host of another show, but it wasn’t long before they pulled the plug again. Bummer! A long time passed before Marc was given another opportunity to return to Air America to do a streaming video show with Sam Seder called Breakroom live. It didn’t last long either. So today I was pleased to find an email from Marc Maron announcing he would be producing a podcast aptly named, “WTF with Marc Maron”. If you like laughing, you’ll bust a gut in the first episode of Marc’s new show. I’m not going to give any of it away. But if you like comedy and political satire you’ll love this no hold’s barred podcast. Go here to subscribe in iTunes. Or here to Marc’s libsyn page.

The Lark Ascending

Another of my most favorite classical pieces was written by Vaughan Williams in 1914. It is entitled, “The Lark Ascending”.

“The Lark Ascending” takes its title from a poem by George Meredith. This work was written for Violin and Orchestra. This “You Tube” video is divided into two parts. Barry Wordsworth conducts the BBC Concert Orchestra with Janine Jansen on Violin. This recording is available on iTunes and you can buy it by clicking here. Or go here to view the You Tube videos.

It hurts

Every time I go to my dental hygienist I’m asked if my gold filled back tooth (which is chipped) is hurting me. Such was the case on Thursday afternoon when I had my most recent cleaning. My hygienist is a nice lady and we have an ongoing joke about my hatred of flossing. She once asked, “Do you floss?” To which I responded: “Do you want me to tell you the truth or lie to you?” I told her that’s why I come to see her since I’m so inept at taking care of my teeth. So every time she sees me she laughs. She’s a cut up. I like her a lot. She’s never one to ask to many probing questions, but she’s got to wonder about me. I think she’d be cool with whatever I told her. She once told me her 16 year old boy just wants to smoke pot. I told her I’d smoked pot before to which she exclaimed: “So did I, but it wasn’t the only thing I wanted to do,” as she pointed to a picture of her son on her cubicle wall. But I digress. So Thursday when I went in once again I was asked about my tooth. It wasn’t hurting then, but when I woke on Sunday morning it was. And I don’t know whither the toothache led to a fever that developed later that day. Suffice to say. I went to bed at 5:30 P.M. yesterday evening and woke around 3 A.M. on Monday morning to a lingering fever. I decided it wasn’t worth risking a 2 hour drive south in my condition. So I opted to stay home, nurse myself as best I could and hope the fever would break before the end of the day. As of this writing I am okay in regards my fever, but I opted to call my dentist about the toothache. I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon at 3:15 P.M. I’m resigned to loosing the tooth tomorrow. I don’t like knowing this, but its probably the only thing to do. I wonder about that gold filling. Should I just give it up? It it really worth anything? Should I really be concerned about something this trivial?

In other news, I’ve noticed the bickering between Paul and Zac concerning whether or not Adolph Hitler was a meat eater or a vegetarian. I think the argument was more a misunderstanding and has of their last posts been resolved. If you’re wondering? Hitler was a meat eater! Does that make all us meat eaters bad? I don’t think so. And I think Zac would agree. Stay tuned boys. Paul and Michael from London will arrive in Pelham Alabama in time for my 400th podcast! How cool is that?

Tropical Storm Claudette Heading Our Way

Tropical Storm Claudette is on a path that will take it just west of Birmingham which means we’ll be in the path of the heaviest rainfall during the day tomorrow. So this means I’ll be driving in the rain tomorrow as I head down Hwy 280E to Opelika. Gee, I’m so looking forward to that! Go here to see the Birmingham Radar and watch as the rain moves into the Birmingham area. FYI. I didn’t go out last night. I guess my thirst was quenched the night before.

I called Jeremy’s Aunt Joyce yesterday afternoon. She told me that Jeremy is bloated all over this body including his face as a reaction to medication he is taking. The doctors are trying to find the proper medication and the proper dosages. I know Jeremy must be disappointed with all this as he’d planned on returning here this August. I worry so much about him that he’ll give up hope. I don’t think Jeremy is the type guy who’d survive in a cage. Sometimes I think his parents just want to keep him there for their own self interests. I know they love their son. But his mom also has a love for money. And I’m suspicious of her motives. I recognize my inability to exercise my wishes on any of this. I just want Jeremy to be happy. And I don’t think he’ll ever be happy living with his mom. She’s not going to be there for him forever. I worry what will happen to him when she and his father are no longer alive to look out for him. All I can hope for is that one day he will be well and able to live on his own again. Independent of his parents and of me.

One of the first songs I ever bought

“My baby loves lovin” by the White Plains was one of the first 45 RPM records I ever bought. The song was written by Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, recorded on 26 October 1969, and was released on 9 January 1970 on the Decca Records imprint, Deram Records.

Republican Hypocrisy on end-of-life counseling

WASHINGTON – Until last week, Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson was among the most enthusiastic backers of end-of-life counseling in government health care programs like Medicare.

That was before conservatives called it a step toward euthanasia and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin likened the idea to a bureaucratic “death panel” that would decide whether sick people get to live. And even though those claims have been widely discredited, the issue remains a political weapon in the increasingly bitter health care debate.

Now, Isakson and other Republicans who eagerly backed the idea are distancing themselves from it or lying low in the face of a backlash from the right.

“Until last week this was basically a nonpartisan issue,” said John Rother, executive vice president for policy at AARP, the seniors lobbying group. “People across the political spectrum recognize that far too often people’s wishes aren’t respected at the end of life and there is a lot of unnecessary suffering.”

American Psychological Assoc., repudiates reparative therapy

NEW YORK – The American Psychological Association declared Wednesday that mental health professionals should not tell gay clients they can become straight through therapy or other treatments.

Instead, the APA urged therapists to consider multiple options — that could range from celibacy to switching churches — for helping clients whose sexual orientation and religious faith conflict.

In a resolution adopted on a 125-to-4 vote by the APA’s governing council, and in a comprehensive report based on two years of research, the 150,000-member association put itself firmly on record in opposition of so-called “reparative therapy” which seeks to change sexual orientation.

Young gays killed in Israel

August 1, 2009. The black-clad gunman unloaded an automatic weapon on the young group of gays and lesbians at the entrance to the club in the heart of Israel’s beachside commercial capital late Saturday, and then ran away, witnesses said.

A young man and a young woman were killed on the spot and three people suffered serious wounds, emergency services said.

Thousands of people gathered in the city centre overnight to denounce the attack.

“Our (gay) community won’t let itself be frightened, it will stand up to those who threaten it with heads held high and with pride, we will respond to war with war,” left-wing opposition Meretz party MP Nitzan Horowitz said.

A Brief History of My Existence.

Go here to view two new video’s I uploaded this weekend to my gallery. Both were shot with my iPhone’s camera. The first is a tour of Birmingham’s Southside “Highland Avenue South” area. I show you the apartment’s I lived in when I first moved to the “Ham” in the early 1980’s (right after graduating from the University of North Alabama) with my lover (you heard me) my lover Rick. We lived together one year in Florence, then moved to Birmingham. Our relationship was more like an ongoing boxing match than a love affair. It ended after two years. For the first time, I would become independent of anyone. It would be sink or swim time for me. I moved into a one room efficiency (just down from where Rick and I had lived together) near Rushton Park.

Got my iPhone this afternoon! Woo hoo . . . I’ll be adding pix and video’s before long. Stay tuned.

380 Freaked

I freaked a guy out this morning on Grindr such that he changed his mind about hooking up with me after listening to my podcast. At least he was honest about his feelings. What do you think? Am I freaky? Does my honesty freak you out? Outro music: “Get the message” by Electronic. Mic: Shure SM7B; Mixer: Mackie DFX6; Recording device: Garageband. Total running time: 38 minutes 25 seconds.

iPhone 3GS lust

I’ve always had my eye on the iPhone. The temptation to own one has always been tempered by the fact that I really hate to talk on the phone. Were it not for company business I’d have little use for one. Given that my company provides for a cellphone and pays the monthly fees it seems rather stupid to go out and purchase one on my own. I’ve had the same company cell phone (an old Motorola) for years. Do they even make Motorola cell phones anymore?

This evening I called my lady boss and asked her if I were to pay for the phone could we add it to the company account. She said: “Sure!” We had talked about upgrading my old Motorola awhile back but nothing ever came of it. But this time my boss says she needs a phone to and she might as well get this one. So Monday morning my boss is going to talk to A T & T about getting new iPhones. I made certain she understood I want the new 3GS iPhone – knowing with my luck she might put a 3G in my box some morning and I wouldn’t be happy about that. So if everything works out I should be (in the not to distant future) the sorta, kinda owner of a brand new iPhone 3GS.

378 Instinct

I often find it difficult to go against my worst human instinct. I am more like an animal. I talk about some of the guys who have been caught up in my world. A world which never really seems to change. Outro music: “Keep feeling facination” by Human League. Mic: Shure SM7B; Mixer: Mackie DFX6; Recording device: Garageband.

Censorship is alive and well on Grindr

Here is the pic I had posted on Grindr up until this afternoon when I received a notice from Grindr that my profile pic had been deleted for violation of their “Terms of Service”. Take a look at this pic:
After the deletion I posted a revised pic taken the same day as the first. The only difference is I’m not holding up my tee shirt. For those of you who use Grindr this all has to seem laughable since my original Grindr pic is no where near as revealing as pix by other Grindr users which still remain on the service. On my reposted profile I added the following headline: “Censorship is alive and well on Grindr.” And added the following text to my about me, it reads: “How idiotic is this? Grindr sends me a message saying they have removed my profile pic which is a non-nude of me in boxers n a tee.” I called Grindr and left two messages threatening legal action if this service did not delete other more revealing pix from their service. If they are going to make such a BIG issue of my tame pic of me revealing my tummy then they should practice the same censorship against others who are seen wearing tight underwear and no shirts! Mind you, I do not find any of these other guys images offensive and cannot believe that Grindr is making an issue of my pic.

UPDATE: Since this post Grindr announced that its censors had mistakenly deleted content that was not objectional. I reposted my original pic and there it remains to this day. Grindr is still having issues with connectivity.

375 My Truth

Adam Lambert is GAY? No way!!! I talk about the Rolling Stone inverview with American Idol’s runner up and bad boy. Christians don’t like his gayness. Go Adam for having the balls to speak the truth.

373 Crotch Rocket

On the way in from work I spot this hot young guy riding his motorcycle up Hwy 280 West. His tee was flying up revealing a nicely tanned V-shaped back. It was all I could do to stay close enough as he sped down the highway. I’m certain I was drooling with queer lust over his sweet young male flesh exposed for us all to see. I’m such a queer! I love it., also, on a more serious vain I talked to Jeremy Saturday evening. I talk about what was said. Also, my trek down to the Cahaba Nature Trail on Sunday night. While everyone else was in Church worshipping God, I was worshipping cock. I continue my conversation concerning gay relationships. Hear this John Ong.

372 Playing around

I had a visitor this afternoon or I’d have already recorded. I talk about the lad in this offering. Also, I finally got around to calling to inquire of Jeremy. He wants to come back here.

370 Clash

Needless to say I was more than a little surprised by Paul’s reaction and negative comment regarding this podcast. If there is one person who’s opinion I value it is Paul’s. I re-listened to what I’d recorded. I can’t say here that my opinion in regard to monogamous coupling has changed. I didn’t mean for my words to be an insult to any couple out there who is happy in their relationship. I’ve been around for quite some time. Longer than I like to think. I’ve known far more gay men who are single than coupled. And many who I’ve known (who do have a lover) are involved in open relationships. I wasn’t condemning monogamy. I was stating my belief that I consider monogamy to be out of the norm. Perhaps to put it more precise I’d say I consider monogamy to be out of the norm in the gay community and a sneaking suspicion that such is the case for the straight community as well. That is my observation. Maybe I’m wrong. But from what I’ve observed in all my years that is what I’ve come to believe. I apologize to Paul and his lover, Michael and any of my listeners who were offended by my remarks in this podcast. I’m not trained in sociology or human sexuality, thus my observations are made from my personal experience. I am shellshocked by the reaction to my words. I don’t know how to mend the hurt feelings my words have caused. I never intended such. As per your request I have reposted this podcast.

369 Wrong

I talk about my recent poll results. The verdict is in and I am “Wrong”. Instead of just concentrating on the bad I talk about something that has the potential to make things right. I’ll call him Colter. He is a sweetheart. I always seem to find my way back to my darker side. That part I can never erase from my life. It rears its ugly little head near the end.

New Video Clips

I’ve posted several old video clips to my video page if you’d like to take a look at them. All of them are very short in duration. Most are from the beach in Pensacola, Florida in the 1980’s. Tim, a non-sexual gay male friend and myself took a holiday weekend trip to catch some rays and some boys. I don’t remember doing to well in catching boys, but I did end up with a killer tan. Tim had never been to a gay beach before and was naturally excited at being surrounded by all the male flesh. You have to remember. This was present day at the time of filming. So what might not seem so appealing now looked heavenly at the time. Hope you enjoy the videos, two of which contains images of me looking not to pretty. Go here to view the videos.

Grindr

If you own the iPhone or iPod Touch and you are Queer (Gay) and you haven’t downloaded “Grindr” I just have to ask. Why not? Unlike other dating or social network sites, Grindr is meant to be mobile.

Imagine the possibilities!!! Check out Grindr by clicking here.

New Video entitled, “Tornado Warning”

I posted a new video this afternoon. We had some really bad storms to pass through Pelham causing a tornado warning. I never saw anything and it turned out to be a dud! At least so for here. Other areas of the state weren’t so lucky. I was putting on new kitchen cabinet hardware during most of the event. And after the storm passed I hooked up with two guys in my first threeway in a very long time. I’ll tell you about it in my next podcast if you like. BTW, will somebody let me know how to orient the new football shaped kitchen cabinet knobs. Should they go up and down or sideways? Go here to view the new video.

My flower garden video

Take a look at my flower garden. Well, maybe its not so much a garden, but I’m enjoying watching as these beautiful flowers change (grow). I’m not enjoying having to water them. I’ve never seen the guy down the street water his knock out rose bushes! And his are beautiful. Hmm, Is there a secret to making flowers thrive without having to water them every day? HELP.

Wrong

I thought of Zacery Nova when I watched the video of Depeche Mode’s new single, “Wrong”. Sorta like a horror short which leaves a guy wondering. Yo Zac, you may wish to download this. I’d like to know what you think. Here is the link to the music video on iTunes. Also take a look at Zacery’s blog entitled, “Why do I like stupid horror movies?”

Young boy bullied to death

He was called flamboyant. He was called a fag. He was an 11 year old boy who attended New Leadership Charter School in Springfield, Massachusetts, a sixth grader who wanted one day to be President. On Monday, April 6, 2009, young Carl tied an extension cord around his neck and hung himself. He had been taunted and picked on unmercifully. His mother had made repeated calls to the school about the bullying. But it continued. Now Carl is at peace.

Some students at the school had made Carl a target, calling him “gay”, making fun of how he dressed and threatening him. My opinion? The Principal of New Leadership Charter School ought call an assembly of the students and publicly tell those who bullied Carl that they are guilty for Carl’s death. But that will never happen. He would never speak aloud what we know to be true.

This happens to often in our schools. Parents do not teach their children to be tolerant. Some even teach (by their actions) intolerance and hatred. Young boys are a frequent target for such abuse. Carl would have turned 12 on April 17. A vigil was held at his school in his memory. A boy who lost his place in life because he was different. Read about the story here and Google: Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover for more information about this story.

My feet

My feet

Maybe my feet aren’t so pretty after all. Ok, here’s the deal. I asked in my most recent podcast for you guys and ladies to send a picture of your pretty feet to nickthomaspodcast@gmail.com. As of this post I haven’t received one picture. Ben of ideologic.com has offered up a link to a picture of his feet. Thanks Ben for redoing yours offering up a better view. Paul in London has said he’ll send in a pic this weekend, but I suspect Paul was one of the few listener’s who considered my feet pretty. I don’t know this for certain, but I figure. Go figure! N e way, so you guys need to put your feet where your vote is. Let us see you’re pretty feet or I’ll just figure you haven’t got such pretty feet after all. LOL Feet is a fetish for me. I’d do anything to pretty feet. So once again I ask all who think their feet are prettier than mine to send in a pic. We’ll let the people decide just who really does have the prettiest feet. Otherwise your vote is meaningless.

358 Made of steel

So I made use of my umbrella clothes line to dry with the heat of the sun. And I also washed my filthy car. It looks pretty now. Armor All makes the tires look nice and shiny.

Wilson Park

I found an interesting forum on my hometown newspapers page. It should shed a little light on “Queer” park in Florence and the way straight people perceive gays. Go here to visit the forum page. The forum mentions two parks in Florence. Wilson Park in downtown Florence and McFarland Park near the Tennessee River. I totally understand parents not wishing to expose their children to the true ways of the world. They fear these “perverts” may attempt to molest or convert their children. God forbid.

Thanks Paul and Mike

334 Adam and Eve

If it’s Sunday, it’s bible study day. My take on the story of Adam and Eve. No worries, there are things other than the genesis of man inside. ALSO, the sounds in the background are not me passing gas. I was sitting on a leather sofa when I recorded this podcast. Really, I was.

Old Podcasts

FYI: Uploading my old podcasts to Libsyn just isn’t going to work. I have decided to reactivate my “Mobile Me” account. The link to “My video page” now points to my Mobile Me gallery. The quality of the videos are better than on “YouTube”. All the old podcasts can be listened to by following this link.

333 Counterpart

I received an interesting email from a guy who discovered my blog. We seem to have much in common. He hasn’t been successful in downloading my podcast yet. Wonder how he’ll feel about me then?

Old podcast

Old podcast #232 “Troubling things” has been uploaded. I don’t remember what I was troubled about in this podcast recorded in April of 2008. You’ll need to listen to find out. It was recorded remotely with the Zoom H2. Click here to listen or right click to download.

331 My way of thinking

My thoughts turn to Apple computer and the upgrade of Apple’s iLife software. I like the new image stabilization built into iMovie 09. For $79.00 the iLife 09 upgrade is a package I’ll be purchasing. I also talk about questions of Steve Job’s heath. More. Mic: Shure SM7B; Mixer: Mackie DFX6; Recording device: Zoom H2. Total running time: 37 minutes 23 seconds.

Where did they go?

I have made a decision not to reactivate my “Mobile Me” account. How does this affect you? You will no longer be able to listen to my older podcasts #001 through #232. Those podcasts were hosted on my Apple iDisc. The good news? I still have these podcasts on my personal computer. I will post one older podcast each successive Thursday. This means I’ll be recording live on Tuesday and Saturday only. Therefore, this Tuesday, January 6th will be a “new” podcast; on Thursday, January 8th, I will repost “old” Podcast #232 “Troubling things” and Saturday, January 10th, will be a “new” podcast, so on and on. I’ll do this until I’ve completed the library. This way I’ll have an archive of all my work.

330 Don’t worry about me

I decided to go ahead and upgrade to a Directv HD DVR. I thought it would be easy to install the new hardware myself. It would have been if the first installer had done what he said he’d do to make connecting the new DVR easier. The Charter installer came this morning to install a telephone I did not need but decided to buy in a combo package to lower my Charter bill. I also talk about how you should not worry about me. There’s no complicity; no responsibility to look after me. Mic: Shure SM7B; Mixer: Mackie DFX6; Recording device: Zoom H2. Total running time: 44 minutes 41 seconds.
