Conversation Between Stupid People


I really hate double-standard arguments like this one that claim girls look good in spandex while guys look gross....like one's opinion is the only one that matters. Some people disagree.

Oh wait, it's a girl...that's the way they generally think. Their opinions ARE the only one that matters.

Actually by the four-minute mark Gio's making some good points. Spandex DOES require some humility. That's something that a lot of guys lack, unfortunately. As as gay guy, I don't mind seeing through the material, BUT, hey, you're in public dude... skintight okay, see-through, not-so-much...unless your in a gay space of course! ;-)

Everyone wearing tights in the gym SHOULD be wearing something underneath, male or female.

I like Lu...he's defensive of guys in tights and argues points FOR men wearing them since he's worn them personally...and he says guys look cute in tights too!

Some people like them, like how guys look in them, and wear them for comfort. The discussion's pretty funny by the end. They agreed that guys and girls should be wearing something underneath to cover the ugly bumpers.

OMG if you watch any more of Bart's videos, they are a pretty fucking funny group!

Stomping Grounds

Man, I sure miss my old racing track, team and colleagues....the summers of racing and training at Glenmore Velodrome were some of the most enriching days of my life!



Confessions 2

As I suggested in the Holiday Hijinks post, the holidays had many ups-and-downs. I generally felt pretty low, and none of the festivities (or lack thereof) really did much to lift the spirits this year. It seemed like everything was off - there really weren't many organized New Year's party (wtf with 'first come, first in' trend for NYE this year? I hope it's not a permanent trend!)

I'm not satisfied with the reaction and support from our friends; most have just turned out to be drinking buddies that really don't want anything to do with uncomfortable situations. I worked my ass off making several meals over the holidays for our friends since Mr. P and I love to host so much. We went to a couple of pre-parties of two of our friends prior to going out to the bar, but nothing much more than that. I was feeling very unappreciated by them and I'm very disappointed with some of them. This has only made me feel more depressed....Mr. P and I are going this alone...it may not be true but it sure feels like it sometimes.

I'm thinking sometimes that maybe I'm too hard on our friends - I mean, they are just doing what they want to do; what does that have to do with me? But holy shit, guys, reciprocate SOMETHING!

Don't get me wrong, we have a couple of very close friends that are very supportive. Most of them have been through this type of shit in their past before so they are able to sympathize. I vengefully think that some of these non-participants will have to go through this shit themselves someday, but then, of course, I will be there to support them because that is just the doormat that I am.

The lump on Mr. P's penis ended up being a third malignant lump. He started radiation therapy the week before Christmas and the abdomen tumours ended up reacting positively to the radiation therapy so they start radiation on the penis one too. The concern was that radiation therapy could potentially cause nerve damage, and I think you know what that means - impotence. Despite the fact he and I haven't had sex in two months, this would be devastating. Obviously there are more important issues at stake but I can only imagine what this would do for his psychological state.

I've been going around playing with other guys...I realize this shouldn't make me feel guilty because Mr. P and I have our agreement/contract, but the current situations were never 'written in' and if anyone needs some cheering up and release, it should be him. I'm a bit relieved that he jumped in on the action with Rbrgear and I on Friday...and then at the same time I was upset that he interrupted our bondage scene without discussing it with me! And then I realized how selfish I was being and pulled back again. Though I found out later from Rbrgear that he ended up feeling a bit uncomfortable with that situation, therefore my feelings were valid; I have since had a conversation with Mr. P about kink scene etiquette and how it is different from sex.

Rubbout 25 Design Contest

We are looking for artists with a bit of a bend to conjure up some imagery for Rubbout's 25th anniversary in 2016! We are looking for submissions by the end of March so they can be shown during Rubbout 24 for a vote on the most popular. Expect the winner's artwork to be prominantly displayed until Rubbout 25: Silver April 1-3, 2016!

We would like to present the designs/art to the attendees of Rubbout 24 on Easter Weekend to determine a winner!

PSD format strongly encouraged. I think this is what we need for Rubbout 25: Silver:

A Photoshop vector graphics cmyk .psd file that renders to:

48"x72" x 300ppi minimum for our main event banner.

We typically render these poster dimensions
12" x 18" with bleed 400ppi TIFF files
18" x 24" with bleed 400ppi TIFF files

and various other web banners, other renderings from the .psd file layers in various dimensions and orientations in .jpg, .tiff, .pdf and .png files.

Other renderings are utilized in Illustrator to generate a weekend program.

Sticking to Photoshop should be good since it's a suite that we have copies of to manipulate the main .psd files later.

I'm really intrigued by the visual deprivation/blackout aspect of this....what would be best to use? I will ask the man in the pics! :)
