Over a month into my job as an apartment leasing agent, I can safely say I made a good job choice and I've been very successful at it. I'm already their top new guy. More importantly, I really enjoy what I do including the challenges. My more long term goal, and maybe it's coming up in the short term, is to get my real estate sales license and then I will become a realtor. I just need to be sure which state I'm going to reside in before I take the test. Tomorrow, I will head to Iowa to represent my company at a career fair at the University of Iowa. I am actually excited about this. Yes, Iowa is not know for being very exciting or sexy, but I appreciate the opportunity to travel somewhere new, and especially so when I'm being paid handsomely to do it. Plus, that's one more state that I can say I've been to. It'll be a nice change of pace and I'm sure it'll be interesting interacting with the young fresh Iowan minds that want to know about life in the big city.
P.S. I am as happy as a school girl that Paula Abdul is making a comeback since I grew up to her music and was always a fan. What matters though is that the new song and video are great! Enjoy and support!
The latest is that as of last night, I e-mailed in my resignation to Minibar. It was a bit earlier than I had originally planned but then I had just filed my federal tax refund and saw that I was due a lot more than I had anticipated. My action may have been a bit premature since my claim was rejected for errors, though that's most likely because I left out some information from additional jobs I had that means I'm entitled to get back even more. Nevertheless, I'm sure I'll have my claim adjusted in the next few weeks and excited that this weekend will be my last working at the bar unless I have someone take my shifts.
I also signed up to play in the gay men's dodgeball league. In fact, it's already a week in to the season when I found out that the association even had the sport but fortunately they still had some teams looking for a player. The team I was assigned to has this Friday off from play, so if all goes as planned, I should be knocking people down with my inner aggression the following week.
Things are going really well with my new roomie as well. He's nice and easy to get along with and since he's brand new to Chicago from Texas, it's fun showing him around Boystown and the "overwhelming" open gayness of the city.
Second big change of the new year: I was just extended an offer to join an apartment rental/condos for sale company here in Chicago as their newest leasing agent. I accepted. I am very excited about this new opportunity and what I think will be a very enjoyable job. Plus, it will be something new for me. Once I get this position up an running, I can drop the gig I have with Minibar which sucks monkey balls. In the meantime, I've got a little over a week in which I can still sleep-in. And this just goes to show how indecisive I am, but I have another place in mind for where I want to move next after Chicago. Though granted that I am about to start a new job, I will stay in Chicago for a little while longer than I had intended.
I am also very excited because the new single off of Janet's new album is the shit and I have it on constant rotation. I smell a comeback for Ms. Jackson! When's the tour Damita Jo???
So I was propositioned by a gay porn star today and not just any porn star, but one of my favorites, even though I don't really have many to begin with. Now I would be all for throwing all of my morals out the window to hook up with this beautiful stud, and I know the sex would be good, based on the work I've seen. However, this wouldn't be your average tryst. And it even has nothing to do with the fact that the guy's boyfriend would be present that give me pause (although if the situation was reversed, I wouldn't be comfortable having a boyfriend who was in porn much less hooking up with random strangers), but the fact that the whole thing would be recorded on film by the bf. Yes, this couple is making a documentary of the star's slutty exploits across America. Even though my face supposedly wouldn't be shown, I still don't feel very comfortable with the idea. I'm still contemplating as I write this, because he gave me his cell # and I think it would be cool to talk about it with him, but chances are this will be one adventure I will let slip on by. It would have made for a great story, although just to be asked is a boost to my ego. Maybe I'd be more into it if I were feeling hornier. And I'm also a bit under the weather again. Being on tape with a phlemy cough sure would be unsexy. I had other important things occur today but nothing nearly as entertaining. And no, I will not say who the porn star is. Maybe I'll reveal when his docu. film comes out. But some hints are fun: he's a relative newbie that started in 2005 doing "amateur" work and has worked with many different studios since but he prefers to be independent of any of them. Good luck!

I got hired today for a part-time gig at Minibar/Winebar Chicago, a "sophisticated" and "upscale" martini lounge in Boystown. The place is kind of pretentious and known for being snobby, but somehow, when I partied there New Year's Eve (with a friend who chose that place to go) I got the idea to apply for a position. I thought it would be fun and a good way for some supplemental income. I have to admit though, I also wanted to see if I was "good" enough to get a job there. The staff is all hunky and very cute boy next door looking so I wondered if I stood a chance. So I guess it's nice to have some superficial validation every now and then. And I think I may be the only not completely Caucasian person to be working there so good for them for adding some "color." I wonder if I can also bring a more laid-back friendly vibe to the place, but we'll see. Of course, come visit me when I'm working and I just might hit you up with a steeply discounted drink or two.
