<p><br />OMG am I really that gay? I don&#39;t &quot;act&quot; gay but I guess I have the &quot;gay mentality&quot;. At least according to my friend Eric, I fit the stereotype perfectly.</p><p>Just to preface the convo screencap above, Eric was telling me about a business opportunity with another man, an older man. It involves millions of dollars, real estate, and the Hollywood hills. I asked him what the guy wanted from him thus leading to what you see here. <div><br /></div></p>

 <div>I found this off one of my favorite bloggers, <a href="http://chrisglass.com/">Chris Glass</a>. I&#39;m a huge fan of Michel Gondry. From his music videos to movies, the man clearly thinks in differently. The video above spoofs MTV&#39;s cribs which he calls &quot;cribbage&quot;. <strong>LOLZ FOR DAYS!</strong><br /><br />I want to be his friend.<br /></div>

 <div>I&#39;m obsessed with split toe shoes. I&#39;ve been wearing them for years. Now that summer is upon us, I need a new pair that lets me enjoy all the coolness of split toe while letting my feet breathe.<br /><br />I just ordered the <a href="http://terraplana.com/%28X%281%29A%28yduQ0EjlxwEkAAAANTg4ZmQyZTktODU5Ny00ZGVjLTkwMGYtYzEzOTI4MmI3MTY2Q26A_pvxydweCMcEnttYUbA1oFM1%29%29/shoe.aspx?ProductID=90">Car Sandal</a> by Terra Plana. They&#39;re made entirely of leather with a sporty tread for grip. This is a company I trust since I own a pair of sneakers that have lasted a very long time. I can&#39;t wait!<br /></div>

 <div>I&#39;ve come to the realization that I&#39;m an Ursula. I&#39;m constantly trying to cut deals with people who are in a tight situation in exchange for something I could use later on. The only thing missing from my persona are gold contracts and 8 tenticles.<br /><br />The gold contract I can pull off. Don&#39;t know about them tenticles though.

<div>I&#39;ve been having some sort of cat obsession lately. Last night I spent 2 hours YouTubing cats when I should have been blogging or at least getting a good night&#39;s rest. I was determined to find something good. I finally came across this video about a cat with a peculiar vocal anomaly. Anytime he yawns, it sounds like he&#39;s singing, operatic style. Seriously tho, this cat can hold a note better than most American Idol contestants.<br /></div>

 <div>Oh god, I keep watching this trailer over and over. Can one person get anymore excited about a book, a fictional universe, and a movie? Okay, so maybe I&#39;m not like some of those crazed fans who parade around in Hogwarts scarves and capes on the daily. But I assure you my fandom runs deep. So deep that I even <a href="http://www.tranism.com/weblog/2006/09/theories_on_har.html">wrote about my theories</a> on what the final chapter of the Harry Potter saga will entail.<br /><br />One of my best friends and I are planning to attend the book launch party come midnight at the local Barnes &amp; Noble. We&#39;ll come proudly sporting our Hogwarts scarves (it&#39;s okay to wear it for special occasions) ready to push any kid out of the way to make sure we pick up our pre-orders on time. Then it&#39;ll take me only one, two days at most to finish the book.<br /><br />This upcoming movie (July 12) is actually from book 5 which is my 2nd favorite from the series, book 6 being the 1st. This is when Harry learns of the secret organization called The Phoenix and his destiny to organize his own rebellion, to finally step up and take charge. It&#39;s action packed!<br /><br />Needless to say, it was Harry Potter (the books not the actual wizard) that rekindled my love for reading. I seem to enjoy it a lot more now that I&#39;m an adult. Anywho, watch the trailer and enjoy.<br /></div>

 <div>I went to Daniel&#39;s farewell party Saturday night. Although it was mostly a happy occasion, aside from being quite drunken, there was a sense of bittersweet happiness in the air. At least with me, I found it difficult to let him go.<br /><br />I met Daniel about 4 years ago when we both worked at BCBG Max Azria. I worked in Marketing and he worked in Store Concepts. I remember walking by his office and seeing this cute guy staring deep into his computer screen, as if he was doing everything in his power to avoid attention. Of course, I saw that as an invitation and introduced myself. Fast forward to this past Saturday night and I&#39;ve realized he is one of my best friends.<br /><br />It&#39;s odd how life really is journey of unexpected events. I would have never thought I&#39;d ever meet someone like him much less becoming friends. I always knew he wanted to move back to his native Sweden, we&#39;ve talked about many times. I guess I was hoping it would happen later than sooner, but later is never late enough. This Tuesday he hops on a plane and heads back to Stockholm.<br /><br />Of course this won&#39;t affect our friendship. Everybody says that right? Like I said before, life can foist the unexpected on you so I can&#39;t foresee what our friendship will be like weeks, months, and years from now but I can at least wave goodbye knowing a few things. I know I have a friend in him. I know he&#39;s found a friend in me. I know I have wonderful memories of working at 3 different jobs together, planning our careers in tandem. I know that we&#39;re complete opposites but it works out for us because it&#39;s like Yin and Yang. I know we still have our dreams of a clothing line. I know we will still have our <a href="http://www.tranism.com/weblog">blog</a>. I know it&#39;s okay to watch a friend grow and to not feel alienated or abandoned. Most important I know my life would have sucked if he weren&#39;t a part of it these past 4 years. He&#39;s an awesome friend, a best friend, and I wish him good journeys. I&#39;ll see you soon Daniel.<br /></div>
