2006

well as the holidays wrap up for yet another year, one night of guaranteed debauchery still is waiting in the wings...you betcha, it's the night we wave a fond farewell to 2006 and with open drunken arms welcome in the new year, in hopes that it will bring us tidings of love and joy...and a few less shit storms than the past one!

i don't know about you, but i'm not the least bit sad to see 2006 come to an end. it started out a little bit promising, then it all fell apart. come to think of it, besides me moving away and going back to school, not much of any 'good' has actually happened this year. and i'm not saying this to be depressing, it's just that well...it can only get better, right?? well, at least i hope so.

sure we had some good times, some drunken times, some happy times, some laughs, and some new pairs of shoes...but as optimistic as i am in regards to life and everything in general, i can't really say that 2006 has brought me any sort of advancements. i've had a slew of failed relationships this year, and some sadness, and some overall shitty bad moods...BUT, the outlook is good!!! you heard it here first.

so come on 2007!!! let's make this a rockin' one! school is amazing, i'm surrounded by fantastic people, i have a clearer head than i did at the beginning of last year, and i'm (overall) in a lovely place.

so as we get ready to kick 2006's ass out the door, let's raise a glass of baby pink champagne in hopes of more amazing times to come!

cheers!

Grindhouse trailer

this is the trailer for the movies i was talking about (below)...enjoy!!

GRINDHOUSE

i don't know if ya'll have heard of quentin tarantino's and robert rodriquez' new double-feature horror flicks that are coming out in april, but if you haven't heard...consider yourself warned!! it's apparently a double-feature horror flick marathon, featuring two movies (one by each master of mayhem) and you can say that i'm a tad bit wet over the idea.

being a long-time tarantino devotee, i would await the opening of his newest film with the anticipation of a pervert on toonie-tuesday...make it a double feature with his side-kick (and equally talented) roberto rodriguez and i'm gonna cum in my pants!!

i've seen both previews, and the most i can gather from them is that quentin's is about a woman who has her leg amputated and replaced with a machine gun...and the other has something to do with a demented hospital...hmmmm, can you say EXXXCITING?!?

they're both apparently going with the theme of the blaxploitation films of the '70's, and will both feature 'fake movie trailers' for imaginative new movies that don't exist...

what can we expect from mr tarantino, riight??

check out the extended trailers online...you'll be impressed!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ME AND THE KING

well i couldn't think of a better way to wish ya'll a merry ho ho than with the king himself!! no one can sing xmas tunes like elvis; his 'blue christmas' album is still to this day some of my favorite christmas music of all time, and i don't think i'll ever get tired of hearing "blue christmas" from the most beautiful man that ever lived!

today i spent the afternoon at the one place in this province that i don't think i could ever get tired of seeing; the beach!! it was beautiful, and the waves were huge! and now i remember why i loved it here!! what a better way to spend christmas eve than at the beach, right?

so i just wanted to write a quick post wishing you and yours all the happiness that this time of year can bring! and no matter who you are, or where you celebrate, or with whom you do, make sure to have a jolly one!

be sure to drink lots o' nog, listen to 'blue christmas' at least once (for me!!), spend time with your family, and eat way too much! 'tis the season!!

i love you bitches,

merry christmas

ADDICTED TO JERKS

well yesterday miss jenn and myself were walking through the mall on lunch, and i had an epiphany; i am completely, totally, 100% addicted to jerks!!!

honestly; take all the amazing nice men who have been interested in me in my life, all the men who have given me everything i THOUGHT i wanted...and what did i do? nothing...i did nothing with them...why, you ask?? i just wasn't interested! but give me an asshole; someone who's attention and love and affection i practically have to BEG for on a good night...and i can't get enough!!! i'd fight till my fingers bleed for someone who treated me badly...

i don't understand it!!!!

what is the rationality behind this people?? will somebody please tell me? why are assholes so damn attractive? why is it that someone who makes you fight for their attention, and keep you up at night wondering where they are, or keep you asking yourself why they didn't call, or keep you hanging on by a thread... sound like a good idea??? it's like we're fucking masochists, and enjoy punishing ourselves.

give us a nice guy, who would pay us all the attention we'd ever want/need, be at our beck and call all day long, shower us with gifts and kisses, say everything we ever want to hear, and ALWAYS CALL WHEN THEY SAY THEY WILL...and we run for cover!! we complain that they're TOO ATTENTIVE, or that we're being suffocated, or that we need space, or that things are getting too serious...

why is it that the tables can turn so quickly, and suddenly we become the needy/clingy/'my boyfriend doesn't pay enough attention to me' whiny little bitch, who's more than willing to go back for more pain time and time again?!?!?!?

someone needs to write a book about "the perfect relationship", and everyone has to read it and then all relationships would last forever and be happy...

maybe stephen king could write it...

DON'T GET IT TWISTED, DON'T GET CLEVER, THIS IS THE MOST CRAZIEST SHIT EVER

pete wentz is hotttttt...just wanted to start today's post off with a little sanna saaaan!! and while on the topic; have y'all seen him naked?? there was an email circulating a while back with leaked cell phone pics of my manz pete wentz fondling himself...it was nice!!

i was going to dedicate today's post to talking all about, actually scratch that; BITCHING about how trying on my nerves it is to be living back with the parentals while i'm home over christmas break...but i seem to have lost my urge to complain for the day.

basically my frustrations aren't any more abundant than the ones i originally felt while home in the summer time; i'm stuck in the basement, the dogs aren't allowed on the couch, and i have no real privacy, blah blah blah...so i'm not going to bore my fellow readers with my trivial complaints.

christmas is near, the drinks will soon be flowing, and work is somewhat slow (hence why i have time to sit here and write to you guys!!) so why complain,right??

as i'm writing this, i'm now realizing that there was in fact no real subject behind this post...but i guess it goes nicely with my 'naive inner-workings' title...

anyways...

XXX MAS

well it's almost that time again, yup you guessed it; XXX MAS TIME!!! there's a certain hustle and bustle in people's step, a crispness in the air, and annoying caroling heard everywhere you go!

ahhh, the holidays!

although this year i digress; i just don't feel it. how could this be? normally i'm stoked to go gift shopping, normally i count down the days to santa's arrival, normally i'm in party-planning mode...but this year all i wanna do is lay down and take a big ol' nap!

don't get me wrong; i'm totally up for a redonkulously HUGE party, and can't wait for new year's eve (as usual) but as for christmas, i really just don't care!!

perhaps it's the fact that i'm still in school mode that's responsible for taking away my christmas buzz;, or perhaps it could be the fact that i left my xmas spirit in fort kent; or perhaps it could be the fact that i'm working my whole break away and therefore it just doesn't feel like i'm actually on holidays...who knows??

i even tried watching christmas specials on tv to try and pep up the ol' christmas spirit...but sadly, to no avail...

so i guess i'll just have to enjoy the holidays from my usual slightly drunken standpoint that's typical of the keefe family!! don't worry, tis the reason for the season, riiiight??

cheers

STARFUCKS, MALLS, AND GAY BOYZ

well halifax and i have met again; yup this little twink has left the confines of fort kent and retuned to civilisation!! and let me be the first to say how fuckin' great it feels to be back in a city...a real city, not a town, not a village, but a sweet sweet city!! full of starbucks (where i'm sitting right now, rambling aestheterically on my laptop) malls and boutiques aplenty, and more gay men than you can shake a gay stick at!!

ahhhh, feels nice!

i drew a conclusion on fort kent recently. it only tooke me a semester to actually decide my take on it, but rather late than never riiiight?? basically my advice for any of you out there looking to take up residence in "the little city that could" be forwarned; it gives you waaaay too much time to think!! due to it's lack of diversions, and the fact that you will probably get to know almost EVERYONE who lives there at some point during your stay (which can be a good and a bad thing) you can't help but think about pretty much everything.

i went there with (what i thought was) a relatively clear head; i thought i knew what i wanted and was ready for a fresh start. but once i settled in and realized that "wow, this is it??" i immediately was forced inward on myself, and began thinking a little too hard about myself, and about life in general. and well, i guess you could say that i learned a lot about myself since i've been there. i now have a clearer perception of what i want out of life, i know now what type of a person i should be with, and i now know what type of people i want to surround myself with!

and for that i thank you, fort kent!

when you're in a city, you have tonnes and tonnes of things you can do to take your mind off of something that's bothering you. you can go to the movies, you can go to a club, or you can sit in a coffee shop and just hang with friends. but when all that's taken away from you, and you find yourself stuck in a place where there's nothing to do but watch paint dry on a wednesday night, you will be forced to THINK, and to reconsider things, and to doubt that you really know yourself at all...

so it's been quite the eye opening experience so far...and i'm looking forward to seeing how the second half will play out.

so wish me luck on my journey's in the future during my love affair with northern maine...but not so fast yo, i still have lots of damage to do to this fair city i used to call home while i'm here...so look out!!!!

wind it up

Eating Out

k, i know i'm a youtube addict, but this is from the movie "eating out" and i know you'll love it...make sure the sound is up!! the line about "being gang-raped" is classic!!

Video Mash Up-Gwen Stefani/Madonna-What u waitin 4/hung up

love this video...genius, pure genius.

BUY IT BITCHES!!today we celebrate the other lady in my life (yesterday it was jenna), and the release of her sophomore album appropriately entitled "the sweet escape". you got it kiddies, today miss gwen releases her follow-up record to L.A.M.B, and i couldn't be more excited!! i've been a die-hard gwen fan for years...remember i still hold true to my original statement that i'd cut off my left pinky right now to go see "no doubt" in concert...and i fell totally head over heals in love with her first solo release, and from what i hear, this cd promises much of the same...if not better!!originally not the biggest fan of her first release "wind it up", in fact i even downloaded it twice just to make sure i had the right song...it just didn't sound like her at all. but at a second listen, i realized "it sounds EXACTLY like my gwennie!!" full of blips, quirks, twirks, and a beat to kill a horse...what more could you ask for!! i was a little peeved at the fact that it took her so long to come back to us, uh, i mean the music industry...but cut her some slack, she was off makin' babies!! so leave the comfort of your homes asap kiddies and go pick up her newest release...you won't be disappointed. the revues say it's a little more 80's vibe than her first solo cd, with just the edginess we've come to expect from our little lamb. tracks to look out for:1. wind it up2. 4 in the morning3. orange county girli heard live versions of all of them, and they're fantastic...enjoy!!

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

i'm hali bound in 9 days...and i couldn't be happier about it...i was talking with my wife today, and we both decided we need a vacation!! unlike our other (smarter) classmate counterparts, we stayed in fort kent over the american thanksgiving...for our boyfriends...and ended up having the worst weekend of our entire time here...grrr, is all i can say.

but the outlook for christmas break is exceedingly good!! i'm going to go back to work, shop, go clubbing, and hang out with my family...

so if you're one of my family members reading this, and by family i mean my friends, know that i never stopped thinking of you this entire time, and can't wait to see your smiling faces, and get one of your loving hugs!

being here has opened up my eyes to the fact that home is where your heart is! and while i consider fort kent to be my home now, halifax (drama included) will always have a soft spot in my soul...we've been through a lot, ol' hali and i...and i eagerly anticipate it's feeling of comfort, of familiarity, and of love!

hard times will be everywhere...and it's wrong to blame a place for shitty things...the fact is, they happen! and this journey has begun to force the harsh realization that boys will come and go, good times will be mixed with sad ones, and life will sometimes throw you curve balls! the best thing we can all do, is keep smiling, dance and sing whenever we can, and buckle in and enjoy the ride!

surfs up kiddies!

i totally found the only gay boy in fort kent...and fucked him...repeatedly! then realized that i don't date "kids" anymore...especially not fuckin' retarded ones! NEXXXXXT!!!!!!

that was sexual

wow, this has been quite a ride so far...good ol' fort kent, maine...where do i even begin. when i left halifax in august, i was so excited to be free from it. i had a serious hate-on for that town...and over thanksgiving it just became worse. i held to my previously considered notion that that city has become toxic for me...that it oozed drama...and that nothing good could any longer come from it.

and then i came here...800 kilometres away from the place i called home for my entire life...and i was so sure that it would be easier. everything would be more clear, and i would be able to reconnect with the "me" that i felt that i had lost over the past year or so...

school is amazing...i'm constantly learning so much, and i'm completely surrounded by the most amazing group of friends and classmates that i could have ever hoped for. so in that regard i consider myself to be the luckiest boy in the world.

but as fate has somehow allowed, i fell in love again...and as the red flags became rationalized away, as "I" tend to allow, i ignored the signs...and once again it ended...but this time was different, this time i didn't lose a part of my lil' heart...this time (even though i hurt) i was actually made aware of just what i need...and just what i deserve...and just what i won't settle for...

i think my greatest problem in relationships has been that i will fight till my knuckles bleed for something that may not be worth fighting for. and now i know just what is worth it, and just what i have to let go...

so as i end this semester, i let go of all toxic anger...i let go of my fear of being alone...and i let go of that longing to fix something that should forever remain broken.

i know a little more now just what i want...what i deserve...and above all what i don't ever want to have again...and i feel good!
