It's been nearly 11 months since I've last posted. I'm back and hopefully on a regular basis. Life happens, but I'm working on moving back into Intown areas of Atlanta since I'm starting a new gig in my career field. Hopefully, I can continue to deliver my analyses of the things occurring in Metro Atlanta, Greater Birmingham, everywhere, and some life/social issues.
I will say this...why are there so many obtuse black gay and bisexual men or males in Atlanta. Let me be more specific, I was just reading a post by another blogger than mainly focuses on porn, yeah the gay kind. He was in shock or thrown off by a) how many people but particularly gay and bisexual males that are two timing backstabbers and b) how few people are truly your friends. I was like, "Uh, I've learned years ago from sheer observation but also some quasi-personal experiences that most of the guys that tend to migrate here are thirsty, whores, attention whores, narcissistic/sociopaths, and finally, the come-up artist aka "stunt queen". The few that do not fit these narratives are usually homebodies, low-key, or too busy with their careers to be caught up in the shenanigans.
I mean, I have a few friends that happened to be gay or bisexual males, but most of them are not. It's hard enough as it is to encounter and befriend decent people in general in any major city. However, befriending one that falls into the gay/bisexual fold is even rarer. Let's not pretend there aren't thirsty mofos on Adam4Adam, BGCLive and/or Jack'd, (and if you are foolish enough to be on these following ones then the joke is on you) Grindr and/or Manhunt that have profiles based in Atlanta to know what is going on. The thirst in real in this region and I can log onto any of these websites and look at how quick somebody is looking to fuck you before getting to know you. So the porn industry is a dog-eat-dog world for sure. I cannot even begin to tell you how warped the sense of reality because they are already not paid well because it is (black) urban gay porn. Then you have the come-up-artist and "survival" mode mentality then you will likely not find many whom are really a friend.
*le sigh*
I'm not saying, but I'm just saying...
The discussion of social issues and happenings across the South (sometimes the nation). Along with some rants about things such as the media (radio, TV, and internet), music, etc. from a socially progressive yet politically independent perspective.
