This is something

This was the first time Felix and I had a chance to get together this week. Monday I got together with my neice for some girl time, nails, feet, and waxing evening. Then pizza and talking.

Last night we got together for dinner and drinks at Thai Roma, it was a nice evening just sitting and talking and sharing our week. He asked me what i wanted for Christmas, but I couldn't think of anything. Then he asked if I wanted a diamond ring, a engagement ring. I just couldn't believe it. I told him that it was to soon to talk about that, we haven't dated a week yet. He just smile and said OK. He did tell me earlier that day that he thinks he is falling in love with me.

I like him a lot but taking things slow.

This up coming Saturday he has invited me to a event at his church, so we will have a chance to see each other. I am looking foward to it. He also wants to sit around later and cuddle and kiss and then kiss me all over. That sounds like a great plan. :)

Meet Felix Abrams

This is the new man in my life. We are taking things slow and seeing what happens.

He is 54 years old,, 6'3, Director of Medicine, from Texas, living in Northwest DC.

He is a cowboy's fan (but that's ok it take it interesting), nice guy who laugh's at my jokes. He talks just as much as I do and just a nice guy.

What start out as breakfast

Felixe and I met that morning for breakfast, it was so nice to see his face and how happy he was to see me. He greeted me with a kiss. That was even nicer. We had breakfast and great conversation. Then he wanted to go with me to Eastern Market so I could buy groves. We held hands and talk for hours. The next thing u know we end up at Folger's Shakespear Library. That was nice, i love history and after all these years living in DC. I have never been there.
We spent the rest of the day together watching college football and most of the night.
The next day he went to his church and I went to my church then we met for lunch and football.
Check this out this guy is from Texas and a Cowboys fan and he drives a blue honda ( is this a joke someone is playing on me or what).
So things are going good for us so far, he invited me to a event at his church next saturday and of course I said yes. I enjoy his company.

Felix

OK last night was the first meeting, blind date, see if we click, see if we like each other.
Rudy my German buddy wanted me to meet a friend of his. So we met at Tyroma a local bar restaurant on the hill. He was there when i got there, he was a nice looking man of 54 years old, a little gray in his short blond hair, tall slim, glasses. He lives in Northwest DC. We had a great time, he did a lot of talking, he told me that he is divorce with 2 grown kids and a grandson "JP". He try's to visit them a couple times a year. They all live in Texas.
At the end of the night was the hug and quick peck on the lips. AND then came the big kiss, I didn't know if it would happen,but I think we were thinking the same way. Wow what a kiss, I didn't want it to stop. Kissing is my favorite thing to do!
OH Yeah,,, we are meeting for breakfast at 9am, at the Tune Inn, my favorite place.
Well I better get dress. I feel like a little kids, i can't wait to see him again.

Shit Happens.. and you go on!!!!
I started my morning with the alarm clock screaming at me at 1:45am. I jump to my feet and head for the shower. Boy was i still sleepy, i didn't sleep well , only got 2hours sleep. Buy the time i got my act together,well some what it was 2:45 and the taxi was due to arrive at 3. So then the phone rang and it was my driver, i told him i would be out in 5mins., mind u I was standing there in my underwear, trying to put a little heat to my cargo pants.
The taxi ride was good of course no cars on the road at 3:05am to National airport. For some reason i decide to make sure i had my door keys, so i check my pockets-NO KEYS, jacket-NO KEYS, carry on bag and small suit case-NO KEYS... Oh my GOD did i leave them at home, maybe in the front door. I couldn't call my neighbor so early so I wait until boarded the plane and called her about 7am. Man the 3minutes it took her to check seem like 3 hours. She found my keys laughing she told me there they were in the top lock of my apartment door. HAPPY DAY.

Arrival
I arrived in Belize around 1145, took a taxi it start to rain by the time we left the airport but quickly stop by the time he drop me off at the water taxi terminal $18.50us taxi ride. After getting my ticket for the tip to Caye Caulker, I was hungry and ready for a little Belizean food. So I found a little place in town and had red snapper, rice &beans..GOOD GOOD GOOD!
Walking back to the water taxi things really hasn't change in 2 years. The weather is warm and people are friendly.
The ride to Caye Caulker took about 45mins. the water was beautiful and he sun was so bright and warm. It was nice. The women next to me was cold so I gave her my wrap, we started talking and she started telling me about tonight's Bingo at the local bar "Ocean Side." I told her about my previous trips to Belize and I wanted to see my friend that own Rasta Pasta. Sad news it is closed for remodeling.
Check in time.. will it is off season so I didn't have to make reservation before i got there, so the one place i stayed the 1st years i was there Albert's was full, so I tried Topic, they had a room for me. $25bz, which is $12.50us. Hot and cold running water with my own bath..Outstanding!
Later that evening for dinner I found my friend Jolly Roger who has a new place were he sells fresh grill lobster, whole grill snapper, or grill chicken. Oh course I had the lobster..It was great, we chatted for a while and he told me about his new son, 10 mouth old. He also caught me up on some of the happenings on the island. I met a few more people that sat down to get a bite to eat and then off to Oceanside for bingo.
Surprise my new friend was there, her name is Marion and her boyfriend and Paula she introduce me to. Well our night went like this we never won at bingo but after 5 shots of tequila's and i not sure how many beer ,who the hell cares.. We never won at Bingo, but we had a great time.


Well I had to go to bed and get ready for my day of snorkeling and manatee watch.

A day on the water
Waking up at the crack of dawn and a little hung over was hard but so worth it. Nothing a hot cup of Joe can't make better.
We board the boat a E-Z Boy tours and was off to sea. It was a 45 minute ride to Swallow Caye's, the Manatee's live there. We sat there for about 15mins before the first sighting. We had to cut the motor when we got into the area and or Captain guided the boat by pole. We saw about 10 Manatee and they also look as if they were happy to see us. I took picture but they didn't come out to well.
Snorkeling was just breath taking, the reef's and fish were outstanding. I love the water and what beauty it has to offer.
By the time we got back to Caye Caulker I was ready for a hot shower and a nap and that is just what I did. A 2 hour nap did me good and I was ready to enjoy the evening. Lobster for dinner at Jolly Roger's beach side grill. I met Roger and his wife on 2 years ago, so we caught up of things and had a great dinner. Lobster was mouth watering. I love lobster! They i walked along the beach to the beach side Sport Bar (that's it name).. There were a few Belikin beer's with my name on it. I met a nice man from Canada there, we have a great conversation.

A day of rest
Boy did I need it...... I put on my bathing suit, got my book, my blanket, bottle water, sunblock and fruit and headed for the beach (75 yards from where I am staying).
That evening I hosted a beach party with some old friends and new friends and Rum & Coke..
I got a couple of the shop owners to close early and we party-ed in the sand. Island music, sand under our feet, Rum, Rum, Rum and coke.... What a night. Even Miss Paula and Miss Juanita had a few drinks after their Bible study. Wow what a bad influenced I am.. lol lol

Day Trip

I decided to take a trip to Belize city to walk around more and do a little shopping. Nothing really has change there.
SATURDAY NIGHT----Ocean Side bar- karaoke, that was fun... Yes i did sing, infact 3 maybe 4 songs. A little Anita Baker and Jimmy Buffet....


SAN PEDRO, AMBERGRIS CAYES.........
This was another boat trip to a beautiful island. I rented a golf cart to do a little touring and shopping. I was later approached by a guy that invited me for a time sharing tour of Captain Morgan Resorts. It was a beauty place but to much money for me. I was given $100bz/$50us and all the rum punch I could drink and free lunch for attending the tour. So what the hell. I made a little money.lolol

After my day trip I hung out with friends, had dinner and drinks.

**A EARLY NIGHT TO BED

Garifuna Settlement Day In Belize
Dandriga, Belize

Water taxi to Belize city, 2 hour bus ride to Dandriga and I am ready for the day.
Awesome day, drum ceremony was outstanding. Big street parade with everyone dancing and performing in the native dress. The town was on fire.
There was a taxi driver wanted to charge me $40us to take me to Hopkin and other village where the night time celebration was, then a lady told me that I could take to local bus for $2us. and that was were she was going. So I hung out with her and her family we caught the bus and then a friend of hers gave us a ride the rest of the way there.
Then I found a place to stay that is owned by a American woman for New York. This place was great, it reminded me of a old country home that is on the beach. It was the best, I wish I had more time to stay. She is very interesting woman salt and pepper hair, her common law husband AB, is a Belizean man who had been celebrating for 5 day, when I came back to the home later he was passed out on the beach drunk (more power to him). Anyway a group of the guest were sitting around the kitchen table trading story and I joined in. It was after 3am when I called it a night.

Nov. 20, 2007,
I had about a 3 hour trip back to Caye Caulker in the morning. So half a sleep I started on my way with a 25 minute bus ride to Dangriga, then 2 hours bus ride to Belize City and then finally a 45mins., boat ride to Caye Caulker. Most of te day I hung out with friends on the beach drinking Belikin Beer.
My last night was a little low key, I went to Oceanside Bar with a few friends hung out and had a few drinks, then said our good bye. To be honest with you, if the holiday wasn't that week I would have stayed a little longer.

I WILL ADD PICTURES SOON!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike Rest In Peace My Friend

I truly don't know what to say, but today I got a phone call from Stefan saying Mike had pasted away. Mike's roommate found him Saturday and they believe he has been dead a couple of days. The cause of death is not yet known. Stefan said he's been calling Mike all weekend but no answer and his roommate was out of town until Saturday. When Stefan told me all I could say is oh no, oh no, oh my God not Mike. Then the tears started and wouldn't stop. I was driving when I got the phone call. I am still in shock I can't believe it. We were all just together having dinner and then watching USC game in Dupont Circle. At the beginning of the summer we all went to San Francisco for a week and then before that the gangs 2 or 3rd trip to Richmond to for the weekend, hanging out with Scottie. We the gang were together for New Years and were planning our trip to Dublin next summer for rugby.
Oh Mike I love you, you were like a brother to me. Never letting me buy dinner,cab ride, drinks when we all would hung out. You were a true gentalmen. You always told me that you thought I was so special how I never judge anyone and how cool it was that I would hangout with the him, Stefan, Scottie and Chuck at the local gay clubs. Mike I never once was a shame of our friendship and was proud to be your friend.
Know that I will be here for Stepfen. I remember when he met you and I remember when he told me that he was in love with you. You guys look so happy together.

I am going to miss you. Rest in peace my brother. Being a christian I know I will see you again.

Your friend/sister in Christ,
Jules

I am so ready for this

A few more days before I leave for Belize, and boy I need it. I have to have a few shots today, Hepatitis A, Typhoid and yellow fever. I am told by a friend to get ready to feel like shit the rest of the day. Of course I am not looking forward to this. Oh well better safe then sorry.

Later Friday evening:
I am not feeling my best, but it isn't that bad.
Bill wanted to see me before I left town so we had a nice dinner at 701. They also had a piano player for dancing so we did a few slow turns around the floor. And YES I WAS LOOKING HOT.. He like to have a hot young ebony princess on his arm. (OK call me Ann Nicole) Later that night I hooked up with friends for a little more drinks. I didn't get in the house last night until after 2am. Wow was I drunk off my ass.

Saturday, 11am
I am just getting my drunk ass out of bed. I have a ton of things to do and I should have been up and out by now. Oh well!!!!!
Tomorrow is the big game Skin V Philly.. we are playing at home so it is going to be a long day for me. It will be nice to have another win. Philly fans are nasty people, I feel sorry for the police officers and security in the stand because those asshole will be fight all day.
GO SKINS!!!

Well I have to get going, time to shop for my trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is just nice

A few months ago, I attended a black tie affair, for a art opening in Washington, DC. I belong to The Young Benefactors of the Smithsonian. Well anyway I talked to a lot of people that night it was over 300 people in attendance. Two days later I received a phone call from one of my friends that this gentlemen wanted to know more about me and that he left his phone number for me. A couple of days later I gave him a call. We had a pleasant conversation and agree to have dinner the next evening. We met at Jenny a nice restaurant on the water front in Southwest,DC. We had a very nice evening, the conversation was great, he has season tickets to the Redskins ( and I work for the Redskins) so we talked about football and other sports, traveling and just everything. Bill owns a corporation in Virgina, so we talked about. He is a well traveled and well educated man. He has lots of money. You know some people just smell of money, well Bill smells of it. After the dinner he walked me to my car and then I drove him to his car, I asked him which car was his and of course it was the Mercedes, what a beautiful car. He called me later on that evening to make sure I made it home ok and tell me that he really enjoyed the evening with me and would like to see me again. I said that would be nice. The next day he gave me a call and we met two days later for lunch. He asked me why I wasn't dating anyone, I told him that I really not looking to date anyone right now, that I haven't had a great relationship history in the last year. I asked him what was going on with him and what was he looking for with me. He said that he was taken away with my beauty and intelligences, when we first met and my smile and wanted to get to know me better. He wanted he wanted a beautiful women to spent time with and his time is limited with running a corporation. In the last month in a half we have had dinner at the finest restaurants in DC, Jenny's, DC Coast, 701, Cyldes in Rockville, just to name a few.
You see Bill is about 65 years old, he has kids almost my age. He is a very good looking older white male with fine taste in life. We have a great time together and there has been nothing physical between us, just a hug and a kiss on the cheek at the end of the evening. It is just nice to be treated like a princess every once in a while, too dine in the finest restaurants, have someone open the door for you, telling you nice things and want to know about your day. Every phone conversation starts with good morning beautiful.
He is a nice friend.

It is just nice......
My girlfriends are calling me Anna Nicole-Smith.
So is there a twist to this dream or will it last?
Tell me what you think the twist is?
