Sam's from Chunk to Hunk Journal :)

I usually go for the atomosphere. I'm not much of a singer unless I've had a lot of liquid courage, lol... I wonder if I would get crazy enough to sing some Erasure or something, lol... ;) My friends I go with actually have great voices and my voice would be the comedy after them, hehe... Who knows though. The thing I love about the bar we go to is it has all types of people. There is a girl there that can sing a lot like Gwen Stefani/Reel Big Fish style, she has that tone to her voice and can sing really fast songs. I love it when she sings ska music. My friend Celestia sings R&B mostly, and she is excellent...

Madge Madge Madge... I am a gay man and loving Madonna is in my blood... However, since she turned 50 this year it seems like every picture I see of her is with her legs behind her head or doing a high kick or something.... Reminds me of that Sally O'Malley "I'm 50" character Molly Shannon used to play on SNL a few years ago... jmo LOL :)

OMG! So True! I think she really likes showing off her flexibility, but I agree, it's gone to far. Seems like the older she gets, the more booty she shows! LMAO She really does need to stop acting like she's gumby and just go back to vogue'n

Erasure!! I've been listening to them since 1991! LOVE THEM! Respect, Always, geez, I love all of their music.

I was influenced by my gay friends in high school, and fell in love with all their styles and tunes. One of my best gay boy pals and I use to Vogue for hours. LOL

I'll never forget the day we left campus at lunch in high school because he told me he had a hot construction worker in his closet. When we got there, sure enough, there he was! We kept asking him to come out of the closet, the pun in that was hilarious, but he was in shock that I was there googling at him. LMAO This closet was a big closet with a TV in it and a small sitting area, but still. The irony!!! He was a grown man! Hiding from my gay friends father I'm sure. Ah, I sure miss that guy.

Anyhow... Have fun at Karaoke!!
 
Sam, karioke is SOOOOOO much fun!!! I really enjoy it. I don't drink, so I need a stiff kick in the pants to get up and sing. But my saving grace is that by then, most people are hosed and aren't aware as to how poor my singing skills are :D

Enjoy yourself! :)

I know what you mean about Madonna. Almost every gay guy I know loves her, too!

But you're right about the recent pics of her since she split from her hubby. It's overkill ...
 
I'm going to have to look for that on Youtube. It sounds killer. :smilielol5:


It is funny! My family still does her impressions all the time, lol... I have a hard time finding anything SNL on youtube most of the time, so I found it on hulu instead :)

Here she is audtioning for to be a dancer at Tony Soprano's bar Bada Bing :):sifone:

Hey everybody!!!

Got thru my first day of official Nursing School today... It was long but I wasn't bored. Very interesting stuff and I got to meet all the clinical instructors, whom I feel in love with. They are amazing women who I feel comforted by, and look forward to have be my mentors. There is this one who isn't my specific clinical instructor but I really like her, she reminds me of my aunt who is a nurse in CA. Overall it was a good day.

Got home and downloaded my syllabuses and class schedules for my 3 (actually 4) classes and all I can say is my ass is going to be super busy. I'm glad I can study at work and will have lots of time to devote to this. It's all possible if I just work hard enough, and study, and keep up with the tremendous amounts of reading that is required. I'm not going to psych myself out anymore, or at least try not to. It's all a balancing act.

Did pretty well with the food today. Got in 3 squares and I'm sure I'm within my caloric range. Was planning on going to the gym but it didn't happen. I instead updated my planner so I'm aware at all times what i need to be doing school wise. I will get there though. I work tomorrow and I'm sure I will bop in here and get thru some diaries :)

Time for a shower, and to watch some Intervention before I crash for the night.

Take Care, I love you all ;)

Sam, I so thrilled to hear that your first day went so well!!!

I really think you'll like this stuff, and although you might feel overwhelmed, you'll be fine.

Just remember: "The journey of a 1,000 miles beings with one step" ;)

PS: I love you, too :p
 
hey there :)

nice for the first day, especially if you immediately found someone who can be there for you.
studying and working is difficult but manageable. i really admire people doing that...and some of them have kids on top of that. so my respect to you :D
 
Thanks you all :)

I need to get major reading for school done here at work today. I'm hoping I can get it all done and then go home and just go to sleep, lol... I also have two practice Medical History's that I have to do, and I'm going to do one on my co-worker, so I'm happy I have that all thought out and covered.

I watched Intervention last night and one of them was an update about a young man who was addicted to food (it was his drug of choice). It made me think about my brother. Although my brother isn't nearly in the same category size wise as this man was, it still hit home and made me break down. I really want my brother to start taking better care of himself but I know he has to want it. I can't make this "better", and it's out of my control... Which drives me insane and makes me sad. I'm okay though. This is something that I've been dealing with for a long time.

Work is good. No snow outside today, kinda warm and mild-which is weird...

Sammy Boy,

Congrats to you. I'm so out of it, doll. I had no idea you were entering nursing school. Good on you! I'm sure you'll do wonderful with your studies. Damn.. you're going to be a hot lil' nurse. Mrawllllll.....

Madge Madge Madge... I am a gay man and loving Madonna is in my blood... However, since she turned 50 this year it seems like every picture I see of her is with her legs behind her head or doing a high kick or something....

What???? You're a gay man? Since when....?






:p

I love you and your Madge-loving ass, Sammy! Take care, handsome.

<snipped>I am a gay man and loving Madonna is in my blood...

-Sam
Hey Sam! I heard it was in the gay men by-laws that you have to love Cher, but I didn't know about Madonna. :)

I hope you're doing well. I'm glad you're enjoying your start in the nursing program.

:seeya:
 
YAY for your first day! :hurray: That's awesome you clicked so well with your instructors. Yes, you will have to spend A LOT of time sitting on your ass, reading--stop yourself from snacking! That's how I got chubby in college--reading and eating :( I know you're too smart for that but WATCH OUT!

Sorry about your brother and of course, you have a healthy, level-headed view on his situation. I'm sure if there was ANYTHING you could do, you'd do it. I learned A LOT about how family members' health affects peoples' lives from this forum. I'm very lucky that my family is active and healthy on a whole, even Good ol Barre! Stay strong! Good luck on everything, all's good in the hood on my end!

Love, Bunny

Sam, sometimes when family members see another family member getting into shape and getting healthy, they pay attention. I've seen it happen before, but you're right -- your brother will have to want to put forth the effort himself. I know how hard it is to watch, though.

Nobody in my family ever really worked out that much. Despite the fact I was a jockette, nobody else seemed to share my love of the gym and wearing tight clothes and skimpy outfits, although I'm a little old to be pulling that crap off now :D
 
Hey you all :) Thank you for stopping by. I promise I will get into everyones diaries here in the next couple days. Today was insane, I had Patho for 4 hours and Pharmocology for 2, then came to work for 5 hours... I have tons of Fundies reading i need to do tonite for my class tomorrow as well... This weekend will be more relaxed I'm sure. I will be able to go more at my own pace :)

Thank you all for stopping by, so much. It's so nice to read from you, I mean that. I do enjoy Cher as well Judy :), perhaps more than Madge. I really like Bette Midler too but I think that comes from my mom and perhaps being a gaybee ;)

So nice to hear from you Sheryl. Yes, its official I am a student Nurse and life as I know it has been turned upside down for a little while. I hope to be a hot lil nurse, lol...

Val- what would I do without you? :) I'm going to stop by your journal just as soon as I can to catch up. I bet you have a lot going on.

ILM- thanks for stopping by. Your so wise and I'm glad to have started conversing with you on this forum.
I wigged out last night and was freaking out about school and everything... My bro and I had a talk- he "talked me off my ledge" as I like to call it. We had a great heart to heart (he was the one I'd been wanting to talk to for awhile) and it went great. I feel better about things and I think he does too. He even mentioned it to my dad today, which is a very good sign :)

Food has been pretty good. I have to remind myself to eat because I'm so busy. Still need to work on getting to the gym, I'm sure I will once I get into a groove.

Pretty tired. Going to finish up with work and do my reading and go home and try to get to bed semi-early tonite :) We shall see. I just want everyone to know I'm overall really optimisitic and feel capable, I just have moments of doubt and freaking out but, I think they are going to become further between because now I'm learning what to expect, which I like.

Take Care, I truly miss and love you all and hope your all kicking ass with the challenge your all in (most of you)! I don't care what team your on, I'm rooting for everyone!

-Sam
 
Hey all :)

So it's official. I got thru my first week of Nursing classes and lived to tell about it. Still no tests, I got a few weeks before that happens. Lots and lots of work but as I'm going along it's becoming less and less overwhelming and more of a "challenge" that i want to succeed at. I will admit I'm tired as hell and my brain does hurt a little bit from all the reading and lecturing I've endured over the past few days. I'm excited to study and get everything put together this weekend, and rest up for next week. I do plan on getting a run in on Fri. and Sat. at the gym. I have to remember to try to get that in as much as I can.

For some wack-ass reason my computer here at work is being majorly slow with this website... and I don't have the patience to read thru and try to reply to journals when it's moving this slow, so I shall log back in tonite on my laptop when I get home and get thru a bunch of journals, I promise!
