i was going to write something here, with this picture and this tune….. something about friendships, and college in 1980, and some other stuff. but i got sidetracked, and as often happens more and more over the past couple of years, thought i’d let those thoughts stay churning in my head, mulling stuff over, and maybe, but probably not, return here to flesh them out.
but still, there’s this – like my new friend?
despite the number of times i really hate this town, there are times when i realize how much i love it. it can just be hard to get to the place (in my head) where i can remember to put myself back to where i love it again. columbus day weekend i thought would be the last time of the year to be out without tons of clothes and all, and in the sun, and enjoying being in shorts and just gazing out at the sky, so by the end of the weekend i was kinda sad. but then last weekend, we got good weather again, and i forced myself out into the annoying weekend traffic, and found a spot over on the west side, relaxed, pulled my shirt off, tried reading a book but just letting my head fall back against the bench, looking at the sky, the clouds, and just listening to the hudson river – it was all so restful. after about an hour, i realized i was the only shirtless person i saw out, but the sun was just holding me, and making me feel, i don’t know, well – held. i stayed out until the sun was nearly set, then pedaled home. but not my usual newyork pedaling…… but a quiet, purposeful slow ride home, like i would do when in provincetown. not really seeing anything, or focusing on anything other than the slight breeze against my lightly sunburned head, just smiling to myself, feeling held.
the other guy’s thinking, “another webcam obsessed tourist gonna put my pic on his blog”
i was hoping to have a video clip up today, but technical difficulties (damn VCR!) are hindering that effort. meanwhile, have you noticed i expanded the “category” thingee (just under the date of the post) from just “uncategorized” and “postcards” (which reminds me… uh oh), and added “provincetown”, “vintage gay t-shirts”, and perhaps the most helpful for the casual visitor, “pornoclips” Hope y’all find that helpful
30+ years ago, 50+ pounds ago! (not my poster, but my college roommate’s)
