so I remember sitting in high school listening to my computer teacher Mr Well go on about Y2K and how all the computers will stop working because no one figured to look ahead to when the last two digits changed in the calendar. I thought wow thats like a million years from now.. I’ll be like 32 then.. OMG an entire life time. A lot went on in that time. I started at Penguin Computing in 2000 and still with them today (well on and off).  I have moved from San Francisco to Berkeley back to San Francisco and moved twice while back in SF.

I have see many good times and many sad times this decade. The passing of friends and family. I have got the chance to see my younger brother and sister both have kids of their own. I got to watch as my two nieces move towards being teenagers.. (watch out sis they may be like you.. oh thats gonna be trouble). I have been ripped off by a roommate and given new look on life by a roommate (not the same ones mind you).

I have been very blessed to have made many more new friends this last year and look forward to making even more in the coming years. I have also had the chance to renew (sounds like I went to blockbuster) some friendships whom I had lost contact with who are always in my mind even if I dont always reachoutandtouchsomeone…

I always find the new year a great time of year. A chance to make some changes and get some good outlook on the days to come. I remember 10 years ago today I was house sitting for my best bud reX. Me and his kitties were all on the sofa. reX was in Seattle doing his broadcast party for GayBC.com. I though wow I wonder what 2000 will bring and I hope it will be good. The year started off with me out of work but ended with me at  a company I really love.

I just wanted to write that I really feel thankful for all the friends and family (and new additions to my family) for being part of my life. I would thank each and everyone one of you but I think I’d forget someone and feel bad, so here for you ALL:

THANK YOU MY FRIENDS & FAMILY

I hope to see you all well in the new year and look forward to hangout out soon. Take care.. I need to get a fresh liver in for tonight! PEACE!

So spent the holidays going over to moms and cooking up some yummies. Guess its started the WEEK before roast beef on Friday. Then a 20lb ham for my sisters girls visit. I also made sweet and sour cabbet soup (oh so yummy). Christmas was more ham and start some chili. Headed back to moms to finish ham and made a batch of chocolate chip cookies with my nephew.

I also decided to cook dinner for my roommates as weel. So while I was baking cookies I put a pork roast in the oven and started on finishing the chili. My plan was to make some french bread and some bacon mac & cheese but mom said I cooked enough and the chili was fine. So off to making cookies.

I finished the cooking of the roast and packed it all up and headed home. Now this is where the drunken fools come in.

So I get home with a roast in hand and there is this young Asian kid (about 22) outside my gate trying to make out with this tall blond whiet guy. I laugh cuz the Asian kid is oh so very drunk he’s having a hard time standing up. Well the tall blond pushes him off and walks away. The Asian kid stumbles into Sweet Inspiration Bakery and falls into a group of older white gents. I just figure the drunk is back with his friends so I pay no more attention to the fool and up to the apt. I deliver the roast pork and taters and let my roommate know I’m gonna run down stairs for a coffee and to help himself to the roast and I’ll be back in a few.

Well I head down to the SI and light up a smoke and now the look into the shop and see the group of older while men have left (coffees and cakes on the table). The Asian drunk fool is now falling all over the place and people are moving out of his way.

I watch as the the Asian drunken fool gets up and runs down SI towards the back wash area, and I now see the SI employee chase after the drunk fool. Oh my this can get crazy. I step in ask if the worker needs some help. He says yes and I tell the Asian drunk fool to get out.. get out on your own or the cops will help you.

The Asian drunk fool is grabbing at the employee trying to make out with him and he’s not having it. I yell at the drunk fool..” get out now or the cops will carry you out”. Drunk fool says.. I just have to pee then I’ll go. I go fine.. PEE already and get the F*CK out. We unlock the restroom and he goes in. The employee has already called the cops.

As the employee and I sit there waiting for the Asian drunk fool to finish we hear a LOUD crash and bang in the bathroom. We both look at each other and I head to the bathroom. I open the door and find the Asian drunk fool covered in pee and water. The entire bathroom is wet and the Asian drunk fool has his pants and underwear down to his ankles and the fool is rolling around in the pee and water.

I attempt to wake the Asian drunk fool up and get him to pull his pants up so he can get out.. nope, he just rolls around in the pee more.. he then rolls over on his back and shows off his nakedness even more. I keep telling the Asian drunk fool to get up and get dressed and go.. but he just mumbles drunkease. I then hear a knock on the door and its the cops. YEA. I tell them hes passed out and not responsive. They say we got it from here and will call an ambulance.  So firetruck shows up, then ambulance.. They get the Asian drunk fool on the stretcher, give him a yellow blanky (since he is dripping in pee and water now and no one can get his pants back on). and haul him off.

So I’m sitting there with the worker and now door person from Lime (this is where the Asian drunk fool stumbled from). It seems the Asian drunk fools friend was outside while all this was going on. The Lime door person was yelling at the girl why didnt you take your friend home like 3 hours ago. You could see that he could not stand up.. I just looked in shock.. hum.. hello if you all as bar employees see a customer who is so drunk they can not even stand up.. why did you keep serving him? and if you tossed his said drunk self out, did you not see about putting him in a cab, or was just tossing him out onto market street enough for you all.

oh well it was entertaining, but this Asian drunk fool could have met up with some wrong people and been raped or even worse stumbled out into traffic. I hope the bar staff did all they could to make sure this person left and went home. Yea I know once you leave a bar its your responsibility to make it home, but come on.. if you see your customer is too drunk to even stand up do you really think he is going to make it home on his home.

tsk tsk to the Asian drunk fool and the people who kept serving him booze till he could not stand any more.. (oh please do that for me sometime)…

and all thru the house you hear your roomie screaming about Cityville on Facebook . heheh.. ah its been a great few weeks.. super busy with work year end and all that fun that comes with it, but its a little slow this week so I get to get a small breath of downtime. Yea I’m still working but from home so I’m enjoying my self.

A few weeks back I got a chance to hang out with Logan (aka Revy). Was fun to hang with him.. oh man did we get a bit drunk.. oh who am I kidding, we got TORE up. We started at the Mix (DUH) and had 1 or 9 Stoli Blueberry and Coke to start the night off (I do remember doing some jagger shorts in here too ).. then I needed to get some dinner (bad me for not eating ) we stumbled up towards Cafe Flore and were almost there when we both decided to have dinner at the LookOut instead. (Note to self .. Do not attempt to get dinner at a bar while DRUNK).

Happy to say we never ate dinner but DRANK MORE! oh yea MORE and MORE. Now while we were pickling our livers so we do not age Logan spotted his CRUSH, the hot smoking sexy barback at lookout (oh yea he’s done porn.. Randy Blue).  Well this then prompted Logan to order us some shots (YEA MORE Jagger) again.. and we all did the shorts and the barback ran off and did his thing.. Logan drooling more and more.. (he even drooled on his shirt).

So as we drank and drank a few more drinks and a few more shots I decided it was time to pour our selfs out and get FOOD. (yes food and not bar mix snacks). So we headed out, but all my Bartender friends were working, so I got shots for the entire bar staff (Chris ran away when I said shots for all). Now Logan decided he wanted to see the hot barback semi naked so he offered to trade his 200 dollar shirt (lord why would anyone buy a shirt for 200 and it didnt come with a free BJ) with the barback. Well they swaped shirts.. and OMG I forgot hot hot the barback looked without his shirt.. HOT!

We then left the lookout.. Logan with his mouth dragging behind him.. we made it to get food but Logan (who could not hold his head up) forgot his bag and went running off, as he left I said just head home.. I’m getting my dinner to go…

As I left I told the cashier if my drunk Friend shows up, give him a cup of coffee and point him downtown. Well I made it home ate and passed out.. Logan it seems found his bag, but lost his wallet in the process (probably offering the barback his paycheck to see him naked… oh well I still dont know if Logan got his wallet or not, but I’m looking forward to our next drunken adventure..

Now I am waiting to here from Matt to hang out.. and Sexy Johnny to hang out this week.. I’ve not seen either of them in a while. Matt lives here and he’s super busy and well Johnny lives in ATL.. so I’ll update more and post photos too.. oh yea the last WDW photos are now up on www.evilgene.com, go click and enjoy.. and the videos are all posted up on YOUTUBE>

Yea I did have fun while I was there the situation was totally messed up and well I’m out a few thousand bucks thanks to Mikey, but I look at that time as I did get to meet some great folks and learn something.. Don’t TRUST anyone UNDER 30. PERIOD. (heheh that was for my Brother who just turned 30)

I’ve found many areas in SF all have something to make it enjoyable. I’m happy to close this year out on a high point yea I lost a dear friend this year, but the time we got to spend before he passed away I’d not give up for anything.

The death toll from the natural gas line explosion that leveled a San Bruno neighborhood grew overnight to four as federal investigators joined the probe into what caused the disaster.

The morning after the inferno erupted, newly homeless residents of the Crestmoor neighborhood west of Interstate 280 awoke in shelters as firefighters and emergency officials took stock of the tragedy.

The fire that raced through the neighborhood of single-family homes erupted at 6:24 p.m. Thursday when a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. natural gas pipeline ruptured, officials and the utility said.

PG&E President Chris Johns said at a news conference this morning in a shopping center near the destroyed neighborhood that the utility’s workers had not been able to get close enough to ground zero of the disaster to find out why the pipe ruptured.

More than 12 hours after the explosion, the fire was still only 75 percent contained. Officials said 38 homes had been destroyed, down from an estimate Thursday night of 53, and seven more houses had sustained significant damage. Several other homes sustained less serious damage.

The San Mateo County coroner’s office said four people had been killed. Their names have not been released. At least 52 people suffered burns, smoke inhalation and other injuries, and three of them were in critical condition with third-degree burns, authorities said.

“There is still a dark cloud over this city,” San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane said. “You’ve heard the numbers. Unfortunately, the numbers are going to get higher. We’ll know that as the day progresses.”

City Manager Connie Jackson said the city was a “strong and resilient community. We are proud to live here, and we will be proud to respond and to restore the vitality and the safety that San Bruno is known for.”

Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, who is acting governor while Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is in China on a trade mission, said 30 additional fire engines would be deployed to the scene today to supplement the 67 engines that responded Thursday night.

Twelve specially trained dogs will also be on site today, some of them to detect possible bodies, officials said.

More than 100 people were evacuated from the area Thursday night and are still being kept away. Jackson said some may be allowed to return later today.

The explosion happened at Claremont and Glenview drives, officials and residents said. The city manager said the most devastated streets were the 1600 and 1700 blocks of Claremont Drive, the 900 block of Glenview Drive, the 1700 block of Earl Avenue, the 1100 block of Fairmont Drive and the 2700 block of Concord Way.

Some 200 firefighters from agencies around the area responded to the blaze, joined by air tankers that dropped retardant on the fire. Millbrae Fire Chief Dennis Haag, the incident commander, said today, “As devastating as this was, it could have been so much worse.”

Haag said four firefighters suffered minor injuries and have been treated and released from hospitals.

Johns, who came to the scene after the blast, said the gas line that ruptured has been secured and that gas is no longer flowing through it.

Local officials and the utility will be joined in the investigation by a metallurgist with the National Transportation Safety Board, Ravi Chhatre, who has looked into previous pipeline explosions. Although the safety board is known primarily for investigating plane crashes, it also dispatches teams after major pipeline incidents.

Some residents told reporters they had smelled gas in the neighborhood in the days preceding the explosion and that PG&E trucks had been in the area. Johns said the utility had not confirmed that.

Johns said, “We are committed to do what’s right and what’s appropriate to help all the families and others who have been impacted by this tragedy.”

Meanwhile, residents of the area described escaping with their lives amid intense heat and confusion.

Teddy Bernardo said today that he lost his house on Claremont Drive. He said his 9-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter had been home alone at the time of the explosion, as he and his wife were coming home from work.

“It shattered all the windows,” he said. “My son was smart enough to get away. As soon as it cooled down, my son grabbed my daughter and ran out.”

Bernardo arrived home shortly after the blast and found his children in the neighborhood. Later in the evening, he saw his house on TV, burning.

“Everything can be replaced, except for my kids,” Bernardo said. “They are my life. That’s all I care about now.”

Melanie Parkin, 34, lives on Concord Way at Fairmont, about a block northeast of where the pipeline ruptured. She was driving her 7-year-old daughter home from ballet and was about a half mile east of the neighborhood when she saw the fireball erupt.

“My first thought was that was where my house is,” she said. “I just floored it and drove home as fast as I could.”

When she pulled up in front of her house, the air was filled with hot ash and debris and the fire was roaring into the sky.

“I told my daughter to wait in the car,” she said. “By the time I got from my car to the door, I was drenched in sweat.”

Her husband, Bryan Parkin, 37, had been talking to his mother on the phone when the explosion rattled his house. “I looked outside and the sky was orange. The flames were shooting over my house,” he said.

When his wife arrived a couple of minutes later, she put their 5-year-old son and the 5-month-old baby into the car and took off, with him following in his truck.

“I didn’t even worry about a car seat,” she said. “I just put the baby on my lap and took off.”

As they fled the house, “the vinyl from the windows was melting into the grass, it was so hot,” he said.

At 11:30 p.m., when they checked in at a Red Cross shelter at San Bruno Park, they still didn’t know if their home had survived the flames. But they weren’t optimistic, because they knew the house across the street from them had burned to the ground. The home was the one where Bryan Parkin grew up.

“We knew everyone in the neighborhood. We’d gone to school with them,” Melanie Parkin said. “I’m just so grateful to be alive.

WDW with JoanCrawford-Texas

so in a few days 2 things are going to happen. First will be Whatcha Doin’ Wednesdays or WDW for short. .well Joan Crawford-Texas (http://www.joancrawford-texas.com) post an entry on her site about it.. here is what she had to say: “I can tell you now that it will be even bigger than the last one, which totally blew my skirt up over my head! My dear Drag Sister, Ginger Snap, will be guest bartending at Trigger this particular evening; Do or Die winner Jeb Havens performs, the sensational Sideshow Dancers will be back; I have a Fire Eater and lots and lots of other surprises in store for you, including a film crew following us on our crawl. Many local merchants will stay open late and YOU could win one of 4 Gift Certificates valued at $100, thanks to my Partners Stoli Vodka, Bud Light and RedBull ”

I think this is gonna be a fun event. Now also on the 18th is the end of the stay for Prop 8. So the wonderful folks who backed prop 8 have filed an paperwork  and well this is the story from the SFgate.com..

The lawyers defending California’s gay marriage ban are making one last argument on why an appeals court should block same-sex weddings while it decides the case.

Sponsors of Proposition 8 are appealing a federal judge’s Aug. 4 decision that found the ban unconstitutional.

The judge also has ruled that county clerks may begin issuing marriage licenses to gay couples on Wednesday unless the 9th Circuit appeals court decides otherwise.

The Proposition 8 legal team asked the court last week to stop the weddings. Plaintiffs lawyers and state Attorney General Jerry Brown urged the court to allow them.

In documents filed Monday morning, ban backers argued that gay marriages would harm the state’s interest in promoting responsible procreation through heterosexual marriage.

So if you have some time come out and have a blast with the Joan at WDW, it should be fun, and who knows maybe you’ll get married.

so are you ready for the announcement due out today? here is a blurb from the sfgate this morning. I saw on the news that people are already down at city hall waiting outside to get hitched. I’m gonna find out how to do quicky divorces and set up the gaydivorce.com site. I can see billions being made. Here is the link to the article by Kevin Fagan, Chronicle Staff Writer

Chief U.S. District Judge  Vaughn Walker intends to rule today on whether same-sex marriage can resume while his landmark decision in the case makes its way to an appeals court, those involved in the case said.

Last week, Walker invalidated Proposition 8, which was passed by voters in 2008 and bans same-sex marriage in California, but he immediately put in place a stay that froze enforcement of his ruling.

His action – expected between 9 a.m. and noon – will either lift the stay, which could enable gay and lesbian couples to get married, or to leave it in place, which would maintain the ban.

Proponents of the ban are seeking a reversal of Walker’s decision from the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Lawyers for the two couples that challenged Prop. 8 have asked Walker to lift his stay.
