The Summer Begins!
Today was the last school day this year. It was a half day for students. They were gone by 12:00. The rest of the day the teacher's had a lunch and enjoyed each other's company one last time. We technically have a teacher workday on Monday but many will just stop by to drop off paperwork or finish cleaning their rooms. I have a few things to do but hope to only be there a few hours on Monday.
I always see the last day of school as my official start to summer. I know the temperature and humidity tells me the summer has already begun but not until school is over for me. Once I get all my paperwork done and have more time in the evenings to do the things I like to do, I begin to think about all the things I want to accomplish in the summer.
This summer I have several things I want to accomplish. I want to take a 10 day road trip to see Shawn. While driving to Oklahoma I plan to stop in southern Virginia to see my father for a day and then on to North Carolina to spend a day with my brother and his wife. And finally onto Oklahoma to spend a few days with Shawn. I haven't seen him since last September and I'm really missing his presence.
I have a total of 12 books sitting on the shelf on my night stand. I want to read them all this summer but I'll be happy if I read half of them. I always have more time to read in the summer then I do during the school year. I plan to read while walking on the treadmill everyday.
I want to loose 10 to 15 pounds this summer. I'm planning on getting my bike out and taking some bike trips with David. We just spoke on the phone last night about getting back on the bike trail on Sunday mornings.
I will be spending some time doing homework for a class I'm taking this summer. I'm taking Classroom Management. After teaching 17 years, surely I could teach the class. I know. But it's a simple class. It meets twice a week for the month of July. It will also give me 2 credits towards re-certification and salary increase. It should be simple enough not to take up too much of my time.
I also have plans to work more on my mother's condo. I'm going to paint her kitchen and replace more outlets and light switches. After she gets the living room and hallway painted, I'll do the same in those areas. I'll also replace some ceiling light fixtures.
So I'll be busy this summer. Mostly I'll be doing the things I want to do. Beginning tonight my sleep patterns should begin to change. In the summer I usually stay up later and get up later. No more 4:00 AM wake ups for me. Well, until September that is.
Of course I will blog about all my summer activities as well as post photos of different things. Tomorrow I'm off to Richmond to celebrate father's day at my sister's place. Should be fun but I HATE the drive down I-95 south. It sucks.
If your father is still living, call him and wish him a Happy Father's Day!
Gave It A Wank
Couldn't take the horniness anymore. I woke up this morning after a very sexual dream with wood so I decided to take care of it. Ah. Felt so good. Messy, but good.
Horny
Late this afternoon I watched Queer As Folk. I taped it last night since I forgot to tape it Sunday night. The show was pretty good. The story lines are moving along as expected. The best scene and probably the only sexual scene in the whole show was when the hot football player showed his nice abs and then jumped on Emmit. He rolled him over and yanked down his pants. I'm not attracted to Emmett at all. He's way too queeny for me. But damn, he's got a nice but. It's hairless and round. Just the right size. Very nice.
Seeing Emmett's butt reminded me again how horny I've been lately. I haven't dated anyone or even been remotely interested in men since Brad broke up with me in March. I've dabbled in my masturbatory activities from time to time but I haven't felt sexual at all in a long time. Lately however, I've been feeling the urge to have some physical contact with another man. I'm not interested in some quick sex though. I'm craving and missing the passionate intimacy that is associated with dating someone. I miss the touch of another man. The smell of another man. I miss feeling a rough beard against my face as we kiss. I miss running my hand down a man's back and onto his ass. Of course I miss all the actual sex acts too but it's the closeness and intimacy that I miss the most. The touching, the discovering, the exploring. I guess I'm just plain horny and jerking off just isn't cutting it anymore. I know really down deep that it's Shawn's touch and intimacy that I'm missing but I don't want to admit it. Shawn already knows how much I miss him and wish we were together so this won't come as a shock to him. I just don't know if I can find the same feeling I had with him with another guy. Writing about it here certainly won't help either.
Odds and Ends
The price of gas is falling…slowly. That will make my road trip this summer cost a little less.
The nation's population is up to 290 million people. Hispanics and Asians make up the largest increases.
Today is Flag Day. On this day in 1777, the Stars and Stripes was adopted as the nations flag.
“The Supreme Court ruled today that a California atheist did not have the legal standing to challenge the constitutionality of the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance…” So…until someone else challenges the law, under god stays in the pledge. That sucks.
I taped the season opener of Six Feet Under last night. I watched it late this afternoon. Good season opener. I like how they pick up right where they left off. Nate found out about Lisa and most of the episode was about him dealing with what to do with her body. I won't tell you how it ended in case you haven't seen it yet. I did like what they did with the unclaimed remains of the kid who died in 1972. That worked out well. Keith and David are back together. Yeah! I like those guys. I hope things go well for them. Clare told Russell she had an abortion. He didn't take it well. Ruth and George made a lot of noise on their wedding night. So things are moving along well and of course I'll be looking forward to next week's episode.
I forgot to tape Queer As Folk last night so I have the VCR set for tonight. I'll have to watch it tomorrow after work. Might have to post something if it's interesting enough.
It's hot as hell in DC right now. Well, it's not that the temperature is all that high..mid 80's but the humidity is so thick. The AC was off in my building for most of the day today. I was a sweaty mess. I felt like a sponge. By the end of the day the AC was back on but the damage was done. When I got home I had to take a shower.
Oh. I found the free poll site. I have a stupid one up on the side bar. Feel free to vote. I'm going to try to put a new one up each week unless they become too annoying.
One more thing. I'm horny. More on that another day.
