I talk about vaping and weddings. Really, I think that’s all I cover. So enjoy.

Pretty sure I will Robby. But there’s only one way to find out. And that way is by listening.
- Women sense my power and they seek the life essence.
I did.
I’ve never vaped and I’ve haven’t been to a gay wedding yet either, although, ironically, I was married in a church with a gay head minister. The only reason he didn’t officiate my wedding was my wife’s father is also a minister and of course we wanted him to do it.
But yeah, it’s an amazing thing that gay folks can marry in places like Texas and Alabama and Mississippi now. It’d be a privilege to celebrate it with those guys for sure. Even here, where things seem far more liberal socially than most of the US, gay marriage has only been legal for a couple of years, and we were the first nation in our region to do so.

I don’t like labels – I just try to take each situation on its own on judge it on logic and reason. I do tend to lean a bit more on the liberal side on a lot of issues, though, but you probably already knew that.
And I really went on and on with the vaping, too, huh?
for some dumb reason, I thought of a lot of shit to say.
On vaping: I thought for some reason you stopped doing that (like you couldn’t for so long, that you just stopped or whatever). I just hate the words vape and vaping. No idea what else I think it should be called, but those sound like the industry needed a word so bad they picked their own slang term. I hate that. Also, it seems like it’s become only the geek alternative to smoking. It’s almost like if you don’t manage to learn all of this stuff (and you apparently have), then you don’t get enough out of it to make people to switch and stick with it. I don’t know that I’ve met people that use any alternative device for any length of time, that don’t know quite a bit about them. They are the build your own PC to the generic Walmart Acer or Dell that has 2 specs you think you care about, but everything else is crap.
You could be just as easily talking about SATA interfaces, hydraulic body modifications or meth. I can barely tell the difference. I did figure out that you seem to know what good shit is.
On the subject of weddings: I hate them. I hate going to them, they are boring, they remind me of how stupidly ceremonious humans feel the need to be, and I have to spend money on shit I don’t ordinarily spend money on. These events are stupid for all involved.
BTW: “I don’t get the whole gay thing” is one of those phrases that out of context can get you all beat up on the web. Also your understanding that it’s because you haven’t met the right guy makes it worse. So, I’m going to publish that on it’s own.
Why do you like titties? Not what do you like about them, why do you like them?
The cheating thing has it’s own validity, but isn’t at all connected with people who are actually gay. It probably has more to do with people that experiment, and I’d say that those people don’t know themselves well enough, and the “right guy” or “right girl” thing comes in to play, but it should be the right circumstance to make people question if they really know themselves.
Anyway… going to a gay wedding in TX could be annoyingly weird. I don’t know the people, but I’d be all concerned that it would be over-the-top gay pride wedding, and not about two people loving each other and wanting to share their shit and get health benefits, and just celebrate that with tableclothes, ruined catering and a shitty DJ. I would be concerned that it wouldn’t be like most sucky weddings… unless you are there for the spectacle, or if you are keeping your eye out for that 10% guy that would make you change your mind.
Skip this post if you’re not into the vaping conversation!
I’m with you on the term “vaping”. The thing is, there’s really not a good term for it, because you’re vaporizing liquid – people have tried to come up with a better name, but it’s just too late, because it’s already frickin’ stuck. I also kinda hate that it seems to be this real hipster thing, but the truth is that it’s really helped me.
So yeah, regarding quitting this and that and whatever – what you get out of a traditional cigarette is strange. You get a whole lot of nicotine, but unless you stay outside or smoke in your home, you’re not smoking one after another. You get used to that nicotine rush, and then it’s a while before you smoke another. With these, you do get nicotine, but it’s a different feeling. It’s more subtle and not as immediate, if that makes any sense.
The original stuff that I used to trim down my smoking was very low wattage but with higher nicotine content. I would do it less, but I would get a similar nicotine rush, or whatever you call it. I went from smoking a pack of cigarettes every 1 1/2 – 2 days to a pack almost lasting a week, so it was definitely good. Strange thing is that when all of this shit with my stomach was going on, smoking actually dulled the pain, no joke. I’d always felt better after smoking a cigarette. Everybody’s body reacts to different things, but it’s so weird to realize how much pain I was in constantly, and that smoking actually helped me with that.
When all the shit went down (literally), I quit everything for like three, four months. The weird thing was though, I kept wanting to do things that made me feel normal again. The one thing that I can’t reiterate enough is that when you’re constantly having to deal with leaks and grossness and just really in this torturous way of thinking that you’re always covered in your own feces and always worried about if other people know or can smell it or something, you grasp onto things like that, something to make you normal again. So I went back to vaping, because I really do enjoy it.
Of course, now, I’m using much higher power shit, it’s much more interactive, like a real gadget, and not only am I getting the nicotine (that oh, so sweet and lovely nicotine), but I also get to tinker a bit and it’s fun. I think for most people, it really is just a great way to get off of cigarettes for good. There are so many different models out there, from the stupid simple and straightforward to the “wow, you really need to be careful or you’ll actually blow your hand off” kind of stuff, that it’s just awesome, and in theory, MUCH safer than regular cigarettes. Mine is a pretty powerful unit, and somewhat complex, but April’s mom (who switched over to vaping after like 35 years of smoking) uses a very simple unit. Mine you can adjust the wattage or put it into a temperature control mode so that instead of the coils getting super hot at a constant wattage, it will step down the wattage of the coils heat past a certain temperature. That is awesome, because if you push these things too hard, the wicking of the liquid can’t keep up with the heat and you get a dry hit and it tastes like Satan’s butthole. But the unit April’s mom has, there’s just a hit button. It’s locked into a certain wattage and is very simple.
EDIT: Something I forgot to mention – for the simple vaporizers, people can save a lot of money vs. buying cigarettes, because the lower wattage doesn’t use as much juice. Unfortunately for me, I made the jump to a much more powerful unit, so not only does it cost more to get started, it costs more to keep going. Example – I used to buy a coil every three weeks (about 4-5 bucks a pop), and juice is pretty cheap, like a 30ml bottle would last me about three weeks (about $15 for juice). Now I go through a coil a week, and the juice lasts me about a week and a half, so we’re looking at about $6 per week to about $12 a week. Doesn’t sound like much, but it’s a big difference. The unit I have is 75 watts. I’ve got my eye on a 200 watt unit (!). Don’t know if I’m going to make that jump because I know my cost per week will go up again!
I am not a huge fan of weddings either, but I’m just intrigued to know what this gay wedding is going to be like. And both of these guys are older, in their 40s, so I’m not sure if they’re going to be playing a lot of Erasure or Katy Perry or that kind of shit, and it’s going to be in their backyard, so they’re really not making it into this huge ordeal.
All I was trying to say is that you can say all day long that you’d react a certain way or deal with something a certain way, but it’s all theoretical until it actually happens to you. I love April and believe I would never cheat on her, but if some hot woman came up and actually said to me that she wanted to fuck me right here right now, who knows what I’d do? And although I can say with conviction that I don’t like guys and would never want to get blown by a guy or whatever, what if it’s only because I haven’t met the right one? By the same logic, there’s plenty of women I don’t want to fuck either. I just think that life is a little greyer than many people try to make it. Just like I’m very liberal in my everyday thinking but can’t stand democrats or republicans. I don’t understand why everything has to be so concrete.
Ah, now titties. This is the reason why I think a guy would never do it for me. There’s something about the way they move, they way they feel, the way they lay when the girl’s laying down, all that stuff is amazingly awesome. Even though pound for pound a fat dude could have as much going in the titty department as a woman, there’s a big difference in the appearance, and I’m sure, in the way they feel. I’m not into fatties of any gender, but that’s just me.
But your second paragraph makes the point I was trying to make to you before. When people don’t feel like they are wired right, or belong and they are in a hetero relationship, then sure your example is theoretically possible. But that doesn’t mean you could totally change if you “met the right guy”. That’s a silly as thinking women are only gay because they haven’t had a seriously deep dicking.
The scenario of knowing you would cheat, but having to know that there is a “who knows” scenario is only because you have to accept that someone you don’t know could tempt you on the grounds of what you know to be true of yourself. That makes sense. But it’s not like you are have been wondering around not quite being into women, but haven’t had the right guy wake something up in you. That’s a leap that assumes that it’s a choice, or a temptation… not a personality defining characteristic, whether known or unknown. That doesn’t make it concrete or inflexible or even just accepting that either is or isn’t.
It’s far more individualized than “you never know”. Some people, for some things… yes they do. Some people, not so much and for most people certain situations aren’t supported by their every day life. What you would do in a life or death situation? Yeah, people DON’T know as much about it because they don’t face it day in day out. But for the vast majority of people, they do face their own sexuality every day of their lives… so it’s probably safe to say that they do know, or they at least have a damn good idea. –Even if they haven’t told others about it yet.
Geeze, who knew I had so much to say on that subject.
I wasn’t complaining about you talking about vaping so much as I was saying that I didn’t know you were doing it (good info above) and I don’t know shit about it so it could be about just about anything.
rob: I’m not into fatties of any gender, but that’s just me.
You’re a dream crusher Rob Michaels… a dream crusher!!!
I get what you’re saying, and you’re right – it’s such a fundamental part of your psyche/self that at this point, chances are very slim that I’d change something like that that is such an integral part of who I am (not like I’m this big ol’ macho man or anything, but one thing I do know is I’m a huge fan of boobs, so there is that).
See, though, that’s what I like about doing these shows. Sometimes something comes up that we’d probably not even think about discussing on our own shows, and sometimes talking things out is fun.
