Wading into the deep...

Here it is. My first post and my initial steps into the water to get my feet wet at blogging. We'll see how long it lasts. I have no idea what the content will be as each post will be unplanned and basically will consist of whatever is going through my mind at the time I sit down to write it.

My intention is to post at least a few sentences every day that I have access to the internet. Who knows who will take the time to read what I will publish here. But that does not really matter to me as this blog is more for myself than for anyone else.

I am a single, white gay male living in the great state of Utah. I was born and raised LDS in an Eastern state. After serving a two year mission for my church, I graduated from BYU with a degree in Business Management with an emphasis in Information Systems. And that's all I feel to share about myself at the moment. At least for tonight.

Tomorrow, I get to call and cancel the hotel reservation I had for this coming Easter weekend. I had planned to go pay Greg a visit and spend time with him--to get to know him better. We had such a good time together the first weekend I spent with him. But I won't be going now. He doesn't want me to make the trip. He's confused about how he feels about me. And he's afraid of having to say goodbye to me and how a relationship would work due to the distance involved. He's afraid he'll fall in love with me. I'm disappointed, because I like Greg a lot, but, I get it. I want to stay open to the possibility of spending time together as friends, but he is not as open to that possibility. Oh well.

For now, I'm giving up on Jack. He and I were supposed to see each other today, but, once again, he flaked. No call nor text. So, I'm letting him go. If he wants to see me again, he'll contact me and will make it happen.

I have a second date with BJ on Wednesday night. Our first date was fun and it will be good to get to know him better.

There was a report on Greta Van Sustren tonight that last year, 2010, federal agencies reported more than $125 Billion in wasted and improperly spent tax dollars. And people wonder why I so distrust government and am an advocate for smaller government. I think government is a necessary evil to be constrained and limited in what it does and can do at every turn.

I do believe government can grant legal status to the domestic partnerships of gays and lesbians. No need to call it marriage-just grant legal protections to LGBT couples.

Till next time, love and light--
