Short week, lots accomplished, more to go...

Heck of a week...  The week was short, but long at the same time.  It was short in the sense of an extended weekend.  We finished up our Miami trip, arriving back home on Monday.  We all pretty much, managed to arrive in one piece with little drama along the way.  Once we got home though, BAM... it hit.  Good news, I was either asleep or gone at work during it.  But wow, did it hit.  

Long story short (since I don't know full details)... Melem's last day is Sunday.  Now, yes.. he and I have certainly had our moments.  We've gotten on each other's nerves (as many roommates do at times) but all that aside, I truly wish him the best of luck.

Now I know some of this will be a repeat, as I tied up last week's events in my last diary (Monday).  But oh well, it's life.... right?!!  So onto the rest of the week.  Since it is so short, there's no surprise that most of my week was filled with work.  I'm always busy, but even more-so this past week.  I had a LOT of stuff to cram in this week because of the trip.  In addition to my normal work load, I also was covering everything needing to be done because of my upcoming and now present training.  Yup, today (Saturday) starts my 3 week long training for work.

This training is broken up into 2 parts.  Now, without going into too much detail (as it bores most people), I'll keep it somewhat simple.  The first part is a week long session at home, filled with HOURS of reading.  After that, I'm off to Texas for 2 weeks.  The whole process will definitely be intensive, but that's the fun in it :-).  I'm excited and nervous at the same time.  I know my stuff and always learning more, but I suck at testing.  So I'll be putting in a little extra time (than the norm.) in preparation for the whole process.  What does this mean for you (the members)??  Well, You'll see more of me this week, but I'll be boring as ever.  Reading all day and secluded to my room.  I will have chat as normal, this week, but off the following 2.  So come in, make sure you catch me now before I'm off for a few weeks.

So yeah, it doesn't sound like much... much it IS.  Got a lot done this past week, but so much more to go.  It's amazing to look back and see my own progress.  These past 6 months have been an eye-opener, a challenge, and a period of growth.  I'm so close to being where I wanted to be at the end of my contract.  So where does that leave me now? and what does that means for CBL?  Well, you'll just have to wait and see!!!

So hit me up in chat, before I'm off for a few weeks.  Also be sure to say goodbye to Melem.  I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, and their week to come.  Make the most of it guys!  Have a blast!!!

FUN!!!

Wow, so this past week(end) has been awesome.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.  Different than the usual work, work, work stuff.  Of course I did work... a LOT.  I had a lot to cram in for this trip...a lot of time to make up for before I went anywhere.  So yeah, I worked all week, cramming in as many hours as possible.  Because of all the hours, I also had late chat every night last week (just like this week).  It definitely made the whole week longer.  Lack of sleep and what not.  But onto the good stuff.... Miami!

So where to begin???  Funny thing is, you guys should probably tell me!  You have eyes & ears everywhere.  The whole trip was a blast.  Of course every trip has its moments, but as they related to me...I think it went pretty well.  I managed not to kill anyone (always a good thing).  For the most part, we all got along... though there were moments.  The good news, most drama waited until we got back home (so we got to enjoy the trip).  The bad news... that we had drama at all.  Seems it's attracted to the house.. lol.

The drama aside though (as everyone else will talk about it), it was fun.  We had great weather (all sun, little humidity) AND I managed not to get burned!  I know... shocker.  Helps that I used SPF 50 with 3 coats... lol.  But hey, it protected me.  I got a little color (not red), so I was happy.  Now I can't say that for everyone else.  Most everyone turned some shade of red.  

We hit the beaches, hit the clubs, hit the alcohol,.... hit everything but the boys (at least to my knowledge).  I'm sure there was more "play" that went on than I knew about, but I think we were good boys for the most part.  Friday we hit a club called Johnny's.  Brian caught up with a friend of his (really nice, cute boy).  He chilled with us most of the weekend, which was really cool.  He was understandably shy, but seemed to have a good time.  Saturday we had our scavenger hunt (Amazing Race Style)... that was fun, but I think it was more because the boys actually pulled together and seemed to get into it.  Heck, I just liked running in the sand and watching Zac follow.  Haha, he certainly can work his cams.

Later that night, we hit another clubbed, called Discotekka.  Wow, it was a blast!  I've been to good clubs, and no...it wasn't anything truly spectacular, but with everyone there, hot boys, and room to chill...it was soooo much fun.  I caught up with a friend while there, danced a little, drank a little... and met cool new people.  Its always awesome when you can meet new people.

Sunday was a little more laid back.  We spent most of the day recovering, then relaxing while walking along South Beach, smelling all that food... mmm.  Nothing too special happened that night, we all stayed in and took it easy.  Pretty much a laid back night of just talking.  This was probably one of the better parts of the trip.  I got to know each of the boys a little better (Aaron, Brian, & Daniel).  Angel, well... he's always cool.  I know he's Seth's "hubby," but I always feel close to him when he's around.  It was cool to see him and hang this whole trip.  That night (Sunday), Melem was off doing his own thing.  He crashed a little early (as he was going to get the car with Zac).  But everyone else stayed up late talking.  Jonathan of course, was in bed with Zac.  Only thing they were missing were all 4 dogs in bed.  Zac & Jonathan were fun though.  It's always cool to see the lighter side of them.. the more laid back & fun sides.  

It truly was a nice vacation.  Something we all needed.  I enjoyed the break from work (though, going back is hard).  So next up, another long week of work.   Next Saturday, I start my at home training.  The following two weeks after that, I'll be in TX for training.  Anyway, hope you guys have an awesome week.  Look for me in late chat every night this week.  Until then, enjoy.

Exhausting week....

Wow, well I'm starting/ending the week with a cute boy in bed :-) That's always a great way to start things off...lol. Don't worry, it's just Jay. Haha. It's been a crazy week. Not crazy bad, just crazy busy. Yeah, nothing new in terms of the usual weekly activities... just swamped.

Work is work. I love it, but it really kicked my ass this week. With several people gone for training, we were short staffed and cramming in almost twice as much work in our usual 8-14 hr days. Once they come back from training, I'm off to training myself. Lookout Texas, here I come... well, soon enough. So I'm working the same amount of hours as usual, just working twice as hard. I guess that's a good thing. It means I'm learning that much faster, being forced to think on my feet.

So the good stuff... Well, I actually did start my week off with a cute boy in bed (last Saturday). Melem threw a party for one of his friends, who ended up bringing additional people. I'm not sure if Melem got the turnout he wanted for the party, but it was decent (towards the end). I met a cute boy, which is all that matters... lol. I had a great evening with a really cute boy. Unfortunately he left early because of his ride. I did manage to spend more time with him though.

Despite working most of the week, I took true advantage of one of my days off and hit up Palm Coast. That's where the Saturday boy is from. So I went up there, spent all day with him, relaxed, talked, & all the usual stuff. Spent the day getting to know him. We also hit the beach, and just walked the shore for over an hour talking & learning about each other. It was something that I've been missing for awhile now... a great time with a cool person. Where will it go from here? I have no idea. I did catch up again with him earlier this evening, but had to cut it short (early day at work tomorrow)... and had to finish this diary entry.

So next week, hmmmmm. Well, next week should prove to be very interesting, trying, and fun. Or so I hope. We head out for Miami next Thursday/Friday to return Monday. I'm really looking forward to the trip (nice mini-vacation). Let's just hope we don't kill each other on the way down (or at any point of the trip). We still have some funds to raise for it, but I'm sure we'll pull through. At least the cams will be there, capturing every fight, drowning, and more... lol. No, I'm sure it'll be a blast. Time will tell.

So an exhausting week has passed, with an even busier week to come. At least it'll be ending with something new & exciting. Until then, be sure to catch us all in chat, find out what's going on, and who's plotting to drown who during the trip :-) Hope everyone has a great week. Be good, have fun, be safe!

Blah, part 4...

Yet another week goes by, and I'm still here... pissing off gossip... lol. So rumors are going around that I'm leaving CBL for sure... well, I might just have to put it out a little longer, just to piss off gossip even more.... hahaha. No, seriously, I have made no official statement on what my plans are with regards to CBL. I still need to have a meeting with Zac & Jonathan regarding any future plans here at CBL. For the moment, I'm just having fun, working my ass off, and trying to start drama whenever possible.

So yeah, what happened this week? Same old sh*t. Work, work, work. As usual, I was off Tuesday & Wednesday. The rest of the week, was work as usual. Yep, nothing new there. Well, that's not entirely true. I actually went out twice this week. I know!! Once more than usual. I did the usual Wednesday night thing - Pulse. Really different type of crowd that night. Guess everyone was back in school, so most of the cute boys were home studying?? Who knows.

Thursday was my second night out. I caught up with a friend at Revolution for his birthday. Overall, it was a fun night out. Yep, tons of alcohol, boys, music, etc. throughout the entire night. I also caught up with Melem, Aaron, and Brandon (Aaron's friend) that night. I hadn't been out on a Thursday before, especially to Revolution, but all in all, it was fun. Kyle (the birthday boy) had a blast as well. The big news, NO DRAMA that night... well, at least to my knowledge.

Skipping forward, Saturday, all the boys in the house went to the Gay & Lesbian Center for a little community service. I did miss out, but I'm proud of them, giving back to the community a little. I can't wait to see footage of the boys doing manual labor.... lol. For some reason, I have a hard time envisioning them lifting anything more than a remote control, or even a glass of beer. I think it's great though, hopefully I can help with the next event (given my work schedule).

Tonight, Saturday was a little different than most. Melem had a party for a good friend of his (and people actually came). It was fun, and yes... I actually stayed awake (for most of it). We had a few cute guys there... well, one at least. He seems cool, might be able to get him to crash here tonight... we'll see. This one can actually hold a conversation, for more than 30 seconds. I know, WOW. He's cool though. We'll see what happens from here.

So yeah, another week of work, chat, sleep (some at least), and more work. I'm sure next week, we can expect the same. I hear Zac is planning to do the Miami trip this coming weekend, but who knows. It's dependent on a lot of things. Either way, I'm sure it'll be fun. Be sure to catch my video diary with Jay, it lightens the mood a little. Tomorrow is our usual party, so be sure to catch it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and catch you all in chat next week. Later.

Yeppers....

Had no idea what to put for the title... haha.

I don't know what to write. We started the week like usual... Sunday party tons of drunk, shirtless boys, and sex?? I honestly don't know who got laid last night (if anyone did). I'll definitely hear about it later this evening though. I did have someone in bed, briefly. NO, we didn't do anything.... has merely crashed for a few hours, then headed home.

Tuesday and Wednesday were like usual. I was off from work those days, so the intent was to run errands and take care of some business, but no such luck. We had a so called "hurricane" or tropical storm (or whatever it was at the moment). Turned out to be more rain than anything, but many places closed down expecting the worse. That kind of put a damper on my plans for the days off. Just means more to get done next week.

I kept busy as usual this week. Picked up a few extra hours (as approved by my managers). The BIG news of the week... I got promoted (YAY!!!). That's right, I was promoted to "Genius." That's a good thing. Means I'm doing something I actually like, and am getting paid for it. So how is this different than the past 2-3 months - well now I'm officially full-time. I've always worked full time hrs between all my jobs, but for once in my life, its "official." Better late than never... right?! So yeah, I'm excited. Means long hrs, longer days... but worth it.

So what else, I don't know. Seems my diaries are shorter and shorter. No, thats not good... but not exactly bad. It means people are getting along (at least with me). Then again, I'm not home enough to cause trouble... lol. From what I hear, Melem is looking to start a porn company. This will be interesting. We'll see if he follows thru with it, and if it gets anywhere. I wish him luck, but the odds are definitely against him. especially here in Florida. Aaron seems cool. We've talked a little, sounds like he's looking forward to getting a job and what not. I don't know him nearly as well as past boys, but he seems serious about it. We'll see. He did ask about getting a ride to the mall to apply for stuff, so time will tell.

So drama..., hmm.... I don't know of much this week. Jonathan had his feed stolen yet again. Thats about all I've heard of. I hope he gets it resolved, but if that's the extent of the drama, then we're set. Yeah, so things might be boring... but it's nice to have people getting along now and then. Lol. Again, I miss a lot since I'm not home, but haven't hard much else.

So yeah, uneventful week. But a good week, at least for me. I'm working hard and moving up. What's next? We'll see.... we will ALL see.

Until then, hope everyone had a great weekend. Party is going on now, and people are drunk as ever. Have a great week, and catch you guys all in chat. Later...
