Title was named TR:Dollywood yet we didn't see it. What we were also promised: I thinking about 2 minutes of my life has been flushed. I've been hoodwinked. Where's the mods? Terry "Boo, change the title so people know what they are actually getting" Weaver

I'm done paying for all the items for my Europe trip! I'm broke as hell but everything is paid for! Six days and counting... Terry

I won a prize in the Florida lottery and I spent it all in one place... the grocery store! I was big pimpin with my $6.00! Terry "at least my stomach is full" Weaver

^Correct. You know had a toy beeper back in the day and when a fine man went past I said "Radar! (beep beep beep)" They don't make anthems like that anymore. Terry

^Uh Uh. Too Cliche, tired and "typical". We can do better than that. Here's your hint: I was at home feelin' sleazy So i went down to the ‘speak easy' As soon as my feet, hit the door I had all attention from the dance floor ... starin' faces start to get tired I wanted to get out and go for a ride Maybe this boredom created my hunger So i said, "pull over at the local ‘fat burger'" I tried to walk in shy, very unnoticed But the men turned away From their burgers and sodas The focus was on me, i guess admirin' good taste I tried to play it off but assurance Was all over my face Any guesses? Terry "Somebody slap me" Weaver

Maybe that is due to the State's stigma on sex and we don't tell these kids what they need to know. They then have to go on all kinds of wild theories and stories that aren't true and it's no wonder they get pregnant or get an STD. From speaking to some of the staff at the AIDS center where I volunteer, they hear some pretty wild stories on how to not get pregnant... one girl thought saying a chant over and over would keep her safe because that's what her friends told her... ...it didn't. Terry "If my mystical chants can't get me a man..." Weaver

I got a tension headache. I had to "sound the alarm" to management yet again because a programmer lied to me about a program being ready to go and he hasn't even started. It goes live tomorrow. I'll have to cancel my dinner plans because I'll be here at until at least 9pm again. And I told the programmer I didn't want to be here late again and he said nothing. Hopefully my analysis gets approved so my program will allow people to go around him when creating these projects. Too many people are running around with knowledge of client projects and programs in their heads and not on paper. Time to take that away from them since they're causing me grief. Terry "A week and counting until vacation" Weaver

^Thanks! Leah thought I was in my early 30's. She was bitter when I told her. I owe it to doing things in moderation and trying to exercise regularly. It also helps that most of my family doesn't look their age. My uncle is almost 60 and he looks like he's in his 40's. So if I take care of myself I can look forward to that. Terry

Partying on Memorial day... (will spare you the pic of me drunk climbing the stripper pole) My friend Leah and I. Looking at the series of pics I've taken, I've gotten back in shape again after the "months of hell" last year

Trying to pack for a month in Europe... What to bring? What to leave home? Do I have everything I need? Is everything I need paid for (nope)? I'll be stressing until I land in London! In another rant I stopped giving my roommates money for groceries considering I don't feel I'm getting my fair share of the food. With me getting up at dawn, exercising, going to work, then going to the gym (not getting home until 10:30pm), I'm pretty much gone all day. So when I get home I expect something for me to eat, which was the agreement. Two weeks ago I came home to a bottle of soy milk and some pickles. This happened for 3 days, so I had to go to the grocery store and buy food for me to eat. My roommate is anal about the kitchen and when I cooked something and didn't clean it to his specifications (In the 3 years I've lived there I've cooked only four times), he called me at work to bitch... then I read him the riot act for calling me at work for something that could have waited when I got home. Then I accused him of using the grocery money for his bills (which his previous roommates told me about) and read him a grocery list of complaints that he knew was true. Well his attitude changed to being friendly but he stopped cooking. That's fine by me. I gotta finish paying for this Europe trip and the last thing I need is to give money to someone to cook when money is tight and they don't and their boyfriend eats up my portion of the food. Then I gotta buy food for me to eat; kind of defeats the purpose of contributing for food. I have to keep snacks and extra food in my closet so his boyfriend doesn't eat it. I won't even get into the other stuff they use up and don't replace. They both need serious diets. And I need to look for my own place when I get back from Europe. Terry

Not Downtown!?! That song is so nasty! BTW that was my jam back in the day... Terry "Ya gotta go... that's the way to find love..." Weaver

Mmmmhmmmm... Terry

So basically i should be aware of my surrounding when I go there in 2 1/2 weeks. I may get clocked my flying metal! Terry

Maybe this will help a little with the line of crying kids that go through the exhibit and find out they can't get on the coaster. I remember the all the kids being denied one year at Kraken... it was quite loud from all the crying! They were stuck with the water coaster. Terry

We just got shipped off to another school when we finished 8th grade. We didn't even get a chance to pick on the kids in the lesser grades; the 9th grade was moved to the new school so we got another year of getting picked on... well not me, my picking on ended when I beat up the captain of the football team. Terry "Leave him alone, he's crazy." Weaver

That won't help you get a job. EDIT: I hate job hunting and with the uncertainty of my current job I may have to do it yet again. It's funny I'm out of my original field making more money, but I miss programming but I'm not about to take a hit in pay to do it. Terry

^That's why I got us two rooms in germany! I doubt you'll want to see my antics at Connection if I decide to let loose. Oh and I started practicing my statue credits early in preparation for the trip: Buddha will never be the same...

I hate sit ups. I'd rather be doing lay downs, but they won't shape up on their own. OK, enough procrastinating... Terry

^I did a little research and the hotel puts me in taxi distance to the Connection. Thanks! Terrance

(sigh) You guys don't know what sarcasm is do ya? I know exactly what is in Amsterdam... it's not like I haven't see it in the states (and in abundance)... it's only legal there. Trust me, I've seen more that most of you guys here and my friends (a few major gay porn stars) still continue to shock me with their antics. I told one of my friends, after seeing one of his 'performances', "No you didn't do that on tape!" He said "This is porn, not Romper Room!" It was just too filthy for words! Anyway, I'm skipping bathhouses... to me that's just nasty. Call me old fashioned but I prefer knowing a bit more about a person than doing the anonymous thing. That's a big turn off for me. It's bad enough that some of my volunteer work has me working information desks at Leather Parties... those are a trip! If anyone has any info on good clubs to visit in Paris or Berlin, I'd appreciate it. Terry EDIT: Since we are touring Amsterdam at night, there's not much else to do but to party.

Sounds like Miami. Well my friend is buying the party tickets to a few Pride events in Madrid next week, and our villa is right in the gay area. Not sure how 2 people need a three bedroom villa.. wait... naw, my luck can't be that great. So it should definitely be an interesting experience... and I'll need a vacation from my vacation! Do I look like the type that drinks coffee? Terry

^Then you eat it. I still don't get it. Tastes good though. The stalls probably still need to be cleaner and if if a downed animal brings a higher chance of mad cow then it needs to be excluded, but honestly you don't need to make something too comfortable when you're gonna eat it. Save that for your pets. Terry

To each it's own... I'm not giving up my meats. When they showed the videos of the downed cows getting kicked into the stalls I kept eating my sandwich. Exactly how does humane treatment of animals you're gonna eat work anyway? Farmer: Here LuBelle have some more grass, are you comfortable? LuBelle: Mooo. Farmer: Was your stable clean and comfortable? LuBelle: Mooooo! Farmer: That's good. (Pulls out axe) LuBelle: Moooo? Farmer: Yahhh!!!! LuBelle: Moo! Moooooo! ('Taps' plays) Farmer: Get that carcass in the grinder, we grillin' for dinner! YeeHaw!! Humane treatment sounds like stabbing a friend in the back to me. Terry "My beef sandwich was good today" Weaver

Well it should be interesting for me to see a glimpse of the gay life in Europe when I go to the TPR trip in a few weeks. I'll have time before and after the trip to do a little tour... bringing my little camera of course. I'll even catch a little bit of Madrid Pride and see what there is to offer in Amsterdam as well. I may add that to my website, since that and statue credits may be a bit too much for the general viewer. Terry

I'm Southern Baptist and I still have my personal relationship with God. I don't think I would accomplish as much as I have without asking asking for His help. Needless to say I grew up in the church and I've seen my share of good and "bad" christians (or which I call Sunday Christians... those that do whatever they want monday thru saturday and is calling His name on sunday). I used to have talks about religion with my step dad and my mom, both which are ordained minsters and how when Jesus Christ died all the laws of the old testament went away. So exactly why are people, when it comes to sin are still trying to preach out of it. Jesus' main message was of love and helping others. That's where a lot of people get in trouble. Exactly how can you love the lord and treat your fellow man any kind of way? Well they will have to answer for that, I'm just worried about my "house" being in order... and you can't do that if you're across the street worried about others. And trust me, some of these people have some ramshackle houses. I help others through my volunteer work and it's funny to see people stumble when I'm the one helping the "sick and shutin" and you can't pry them from their lives. "If I'm doing your work, what does that make you?" That's when people get mad. I almost brought one of my "christian" coworkers to tears after she gave an anti-gay rant and weeks later, when they took donations for a charity I saw her hide her purse. I called her out in front of everyone she preached to (which the majority of the coworkers were Hindu) and they just smirked at her. But anyway, it's not really a matter of whether being Christian or not. It's a matter of right or wrong and being in someone else's shoes. Most times it comes from ignorance, you know when they don't really know about someone yet are making assumptions. People had assumptions about blacks before civil rights and it took a long time before they started to change. Many people that didn't know any gays started to change opinions when they found that their good friends or family members where gay. Some won't change and that's their problem. I also will say that I often vote for education and tax credits for kids because they are the future, whether I have them or not. I have god-children so I'm not about to deny them the opportunity for a good life or education. You scrimp on education, then don't wonder why kids start falling short. Terry
