Which means I love you: Happy 6 months!!

I was hoping to watch porn this morning but none of the DVD players are working…more or less I am unable to work them. Crap-Damn. I could try fidgeting, a little harder, with the television in the front room but there’s just too many gadgets associated with that TV—I fear I’d fuck something up. And then everybody’ll know I was beating off to porn. Not good.

By the way I’m at Keith's house. I don’t think I’ve ever made mention to my Sweet Pea Keith in this arena. I come by his place weekly on those Monday/Tuesday mornings when I get off work at 3am and the bus home stops running. Luckily the Redline train runs all night and Keith lives at the end of the Jarvis stop. I spend those nights here.

I walk in, open the door and the dog barks. You never know who you’re gonna find when opening the door. The possibilities are infinite. Aaron’s usually getting ready for work, Kindrick’s normally asleep and I either flop on the futon or take refuge on the sofa in the living room. Last night Paribe, Keith’s WaLmart buddy, was on the couch sleep. I nearly scared him shitless trying to lie down. I didn’t see ‘em! But, fortunately, we dodged that bullet. Aaron surrendered the futon, and I didn't crush Paribe, but that’s all beside the point… I love my Sweet Pea Keith. There’s actually a running list of people that I refer to as the Sweet Pea’s [which means I love you] :

Sweet Pea Roger
Sweet Pea Walter
Sweet Pea Aaron
Sweet Pea Karla
Sweet Pea Kayla
Sweet Pea Kindrick
Sweet Pea Dontae
Sweet Pea DaRRyL
Sweet Pea Chuck


But Sweet Pea Keith inspired all of that.

RomiE and I hit 6 months today. Applause. Applaud because neither of us have ever sustained a relationship passed a year (and that was one of my concerns in the beginning) but applaud because, if you’re all caught up on your RomiE&Ken trivia—applaud because we…or I, didn’t think we’d make it so far. I’m happy we made it. I was approached by one of my Sweet Pea’s today who nearly unscrewed m’man-berries (the twins, the boys—the balls) when she heard the word celebration.

Sweet Pea: there needs to be NO celebration
Sweet Pea: you should celebrate everyday
Sweet Pea: not at this silly point
Sweet Pea: it's not like it's been 10 years
Sweet Pea: don’t have me go off on u

Me: you just did


Sweet Pea Keith suggested there be some sort of candlelit dinner and provocative horseplay, afterwards, in a private, but genuine, commemoration of the occasion.
He claims that six months is a year to gay people, a feat that mustn't be left unappreciated because not most gay relationships see this side of six months. And I guess there’s something that can be said about how time is managed on the Calendar for Queers. I would actually love to rejoice in celebration for today. But, in turn, I rejoice and celebrate every night that I’m able to leave and return home to that face, his face—RomiE’s face, that mirrors everything we accomplished within the whole of our six months spent. Thank you, Baby.

Happy 6 months, Mister Brown!!!

6 months is not a major milestone and I don’t see the need to celebrate it. And saying 6 months is great in “gay time” is not a compliment. We as homosexuals need to move past that insane thinking and strive for more…to be better. A year is not good enough…..where are those who think 10 years is great…….MEDIOCRITY WILL NOT BE REWARDED!!!!!!!

You should spend less time concentrating on the quantity of minutes you two have been involved and invest in the quality of it all….COMPLANCENY AND UNAPPRECIATING WILL KILL IT!!!!! It’s not about the time….so stop bringing it up.

I would be offended if someone told me he was counting the days we were together as if it were a job and needed that sort of attention.

Well as I told Brownboy, congratulations on hitting the 6 month mark! Every couple, gay or straight, acknowledges the significance of making it to 6 months because there's so much going on in those first months and the relationship is so new that it's a hard feat to accomplish, and you guys did just that!!! So kudos to you, and much happiness to the both of you!!
