Doggie Heaven

I took this picture prior to Spud Anthony's funeral services at my mom's backyard. Yup. We did the speeches and words of goodbye sort of thing.

My little brother Anthony looked at me as if I had lost my mind holding the urn with a stretched out arm, and the camera on the other hand.
"Well, bro... it's symbolism. The urn with the blue sky in the background... it's like Spud being in doggie heaven."
"Oh... you're a genius!" He says.

My funny little thumb is sticking out, nonetheless I like the finish product.

A Visit to My Apartment

I stopped by my older brother Mike's house on Monday and ended up having dinner there. It's really funny how civil and human we are with each other. This is the same guy I had fist fights with in my youth. And I, being the smaller boy, had the bruises and the black eye.

Mike ended up driving me home downtown. My place was immaculate when I left for work this morning so I invited Mike up. He's aware I'm gay, but we've never had the big talk. It's been a very LONG time since I brought girls home other than my bestfriend Sunshine Girl.

If he is still questioning my sexual preference, the huge pride flag in my balcony would have solidified my position in his mind... not to mention the poppers, and the huge bottle of lube beside the bed. Still, I doubt breeders know what they are to begin with. Pity.

Oh, let's not forget the pictures of myself with various men on my fridge. You just can't ignore that. Mike is not stupid but he kept silent and seemed fascinated looking around. And then he ran into my DVD's.

"Can I borrow some DVD's?" He says.
Oh dear - the Gay Porn! In horror, I stalled by pointing that he should definitely see the Brazillian film 'City of God'. [pointing to the DVD case] "You gotta see this movie, man. The quote here [on this DVD case] by Roger Ebert was right on the money. One of the best films I've ever seen..."

Anyways, he eventually sees the porn which led to an awkward moment. No doubt he has lots to talk about when he comes home to his wife.
