T&A (James & Rob)

Tits and Ass

Boy do I look different. I always wonder what people think of me as we travel the country. No better place to figure that out is to go to the middle of nowhere, where everyone looks the same and you look different. Not only do I look different, but I’ve got a scar on my face. Now, in every other place, I think the scar looks hot, but here, I think it makes me stand out even more. We’re in Wyoming, btw.

As I went to the bathroom, I had to walk clear across the restaurant, through the general store, past the washers and dryers, and into the back of the building. Each person I passed, stopped what they were doing and looked at me as I was some sort of anomaly. Not that there is anything wrong with this, it’s just that I know I’m so out of place.

We left Bryan’s house a little while ago. It’s always very interesting to go to see where other people grew up. Bryan’s parent’s house is gorgeous. It’s surrounded by mountains on each side. It’s also always nice to see how other people enter act with their parents. At home, it seems, all the defenses go down and we revert to our childhood. Our parents, there to take care of any problem. When we’re in San Diego, it’s not that we’re different, it’s that we’re the grownups. Now at home, we’re the child and we don’t have to take care of ourselves, because there is someone there who will take the responsibility to do that for ourselves. (I think a gay person just walked into the T&A…but I digress.) Bryan’s parents are great. They cooked breakfast for us…kept us company…gave us food and drink to take up our trip…and wished us well. It’s really uplifting to see Bryan in a different context.

Wyoming is desolate…but beautiful. It makes me want to take up riding horses. That’s about the only thing I can say about this place. I’ll probably have more to say after I see more of it.

That’s it for now.

Ok… so, I had to go empty the recycle bin at T&A and what a wonderful display of graffiti. “Shoot Kill the FAGGOT Queers”. What a wonderful place this is. No wonder Heath Ledger’s character couldn’t come out of the closet!
