film the morning after
We’ve all had this happen to us. A one night stand. We wake up after a long night of partying, rub the sleep out of our eyes, roll over in bed only to discover that we’re not alone. And then, we leap out of bed and try to sneak a peek at who it is that is laying there. Where did we meet? What did we do? Who is he? That’s exactly what happens to Harry in the short film The Morning After. Check out the short’s synopsis:
The morning after a drunken night out, Harry’s (Joshua Berg) world is turned upside down when as he awakens to discover a naked man, Thom (Luke Striffler), in his bed. Stunned and confused, he tries to make sense of his repressed desires. In an attempt to re-assert his heterosexuality he revisits an old lover, Lucy (Juliet Lundholm), but finds little comfort from the encounter. Harry is left to make a decision: to follow his set path and return to his doting girlfriend Jess (Jane Alice), or attempt to understand his own wants and desires…
The short has great production value and come on, we’ve all known a straight friend of ours who has dabbled in the homosexuals realms only to A. jump back into the closet or B. join Team Homo. Whatever the case, or your sexual preference, I hope you enjoy this little short.

film the departed
Colin Sullivan (Damon) is introduced to organized crime by Irish-American mobster Frank Costello (Nicholson) in the Irish neighborhood of South Boston. Costello trains him to become a mole inside the Massachusetts State Police. Sullivan is accepted into the Special Investigations Unit, which focuses on organized crime. Before he graduates from the police academy, Billy Costigan (DiCaprio) is asked by Captain Queenan (Sheen) and Staff Sergeant Dignam (Wahlberg) to go undercover, as his family ties to organized crime make him a perfect infiltrator. He drops out of the academy and does time in prison on a fake assault charge to increase his credibility.
As both infiltrate their respective organizations, Sullivan begins a romance with psychiatrist Madolyn Madden (Farmiga). Costigan sees her for his probation and also develops a relationship with her. After Costello escapes a sting operation, both moles become aware of the other's existence. Sullivan is told to find the "rat" and asks Costello for information to determine who is the informer within his crew. Costigan follows Costello into a movie theater where Costello gives Sullivan an envelope containing personal information on his crew members. Costigan then chases Sullivan through Chinatown. When it is over, neither man knows the other's identity. Sullivan has Queenan tailed to a meeting with Costigan. Costello's men go in and Queenan is killed. When they exit, Costigan pretends he has come to join them. Later, Costello's henchman, Fitzgibbons (O'Hara), reveals that Delahunt (Rolston), a crew member, was an undercover cop.
Using Queenan's phone, Sullivan reaches Costigan, who refuses to abort his mission. Sullivan learns of Costello's role as an informant for the FBI from Queenan's diary, causing him to worry about his identity being revealed. With Costigan's help, Costello is traced to a cocaine drop-off, where a gunfight erupts between his crew and police, resulting in most of the crew being killed. Costello, confronted by Sullivan, admits he is an occasional FBI informant. Sullivan then shoots him multiple times. With Costello dead, Sullivan is applauded the next day by everyone on the force. In good faith, Costigan comes to him for restoration of his true identity, but notices the envelope from Costello on Sullivan's desk and flees. Knowing he has been found out, Sullivan erases all records of Costigan from the police computer system.
Madolyn tells Sullivan that she is pregnant, but does not reveal who the father is. Later, she discovers a package from Costigan containing a CD with recordings of Costello's conversations with Sullivan. Sullivan walks in as she is listening and tries unsuccessfully to assuage her suspicions. He contacts Costigan, who reveals that Costello recorded every conversation he had with Sullivan. Costello's attorney left Costigan in possession of the recordings and he intends to implicate Sullivan. They agree to meet at the building where Queenan died.
On the roof, Costigan catches Sullivan off-guard and handcuffs him. As Costigan had secretly arranged, Officer Brown appears on the roof as well. Shocked, Brown draws his gun on Costigan, who attempts to justify his actions by exposing Sullivan as the rat. Costigan asks Brown why Dignam did not accompany him, but Brown does not answer. Costigan leads Sullivan to the elevator. When it reaches the ground floor, Costigan is shot in the head by Officer Barrigan, who then shoots Brown and reveals to Sullivan that Costello had more than one mole in the police. When Barrigan turns, Sullivan shoots him in the head. At police headquarters, Sullivan identifies Barrigan as the mole and has Costigan posthumously given the Medal of Merit.
At Costigan's funeral, Sullivan and Madolyn stand at the grave. Sullivan attempts to talk to her, but she ignores him. When Sullivan enters his apartment, Dignam, wearing hospital footies and surgical gloves, shoots him in the head with a silenced pistol.

film the beach
Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio), an American college student in Thailand for the summer, goes to Southeast Asia with the intention of experiencing something radically different from his familiar life. He meets Daffy (Robert Carlyle), a Scottish traveler who is crazy and rants on about a beach paradise on a secret island and the parasites of civilization. Daffy later commits suicide but leaves Richard a map to the island, convincing him that it exists.
Richard meets Françoise (Virginie Ledoyen) and her boyfriend, Étienne (Guillaume Canet), and persuades them to accompany him to the island, partly out of an infatuation for Françoise. They travel from Bangkok to the shores of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand, where Richard befriends a pair of American surfers. They talk excitedly about the myth of the beach and how it has an almost unlimited supply of marijuana. Richard does not admit his knowledge, but copies his map and slides it under their door the next morning.
To finally reach the island, Richard, Françoise and Étienne must swim across to it. When they first arrive on the island, they come across an enormous marijuana plantation guarded by local farmers armed with AK-47 assault rifles. They manage to evade detection. After jumping off a high cliff and landing in a lake below, they are seen by Keaty (Paterson Joseph), who takes them to the beach community. They are cautiously interrogated by the island's leader Sal (Tilda Swinton) regarding their knowledge of the island, but are accepted. The trio are introduced to everybody and over the next few days go on to become integrated into the community.
One night while Richard and Françoise are walking down the beach, she tells him that she is falling in love with him. They swim out into the ocean to look at a swarm of bioluminescent plankton, where Françoise kisses Richard and has sex with him on the beach. Despite their attempts to keep the romance a secret, the whole island finds out about it, including Étienne. Although devastated, Étienne says he will not stand in their way if Francoise is happier with Richard.
At first the island and its community seem to live up to their idyllic reputation. Richard swims out into the ocean to catch fish with a harpoon and is attacked by a young mako shark, but he stabs it to death with a knife, which gains him much admiration. Events take a turn for the worse when Richard is chosen to accompany Sal to the mainland to acquire supplies, where Richard is inadvertently reunited with the American surfers who are preparing to go to the beach with two girls. Sal overhears their conversation about the copy of the map and confronts Richard, who admits his guilt. In exchange for Sal's silence and Richard's return to the island, Sal blackmails Richard into having sex with her that night.
When they return to the island, everything returns to normal until the Swedish fishermen Sten (Magnus Lindgren) and Christo (Staffan Kihlbom) are attacked by a shark while fishing in the ocean. Sten dies almost immediately and Christo is severely injured. The only options for Christo are to go to the mainland to get medical help or stay on the island and take his chances. Christo chooses to stay, not wanting to go near the water after his encounter with the shark, but Sal refuses to allow a doctor to come to the island. Christo's condition worsens, consistently lowering the morale of the whole community, so they take him out into the middle of the jungle and leave him to die. However, Étienne, disgusted by the group's decision, vows to stay with Christo.
Later, Sal observes the American surfers on the neighboring island and assigns Richard the task of watching them so he can obtain the map and destroy it. While he is waiting for the surfers to arrive, Françoise shows up, furious and heartbroken, saying that Sal has told everybody about her affair with Richard at Koh Phangan. Richard cannot cope with his task and retreats into the forest where he becomes temporarily insane, believing that he is communing with the long-dead Daffy, and by this point declaiming (in voice over narration) "the longer I'm away from the others, the less I miss them". He evades the other islanders and sets lethal traps in an attempt to keep them at bay, at times hallucinating that he is a character in a video game.
Meanwhile, the surfers reach the island but are discovered and killed by the marijuana farmers before they can get to the beach. Richard witnesses their executions and retreats to the community to convince Étienne and Françoise to leave the island, believing that all their lives are now in danger. Étienne refuses, not wanting to leave the emaciated Christo, whose leg has become gangrenous. When the other two briefly leave the tent, Richard tearfully smothers Christo to death in a mercy killing to put him out of his misery. When he leaves the tent however, he is struck across the face by a farmer and knocked unconscious.
Of course you could never forget what we have done, but we adapt. We carry on. And me? I still believe in paradise. But now at least I'll know it's not some place you can look for because it's not where you go, it's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something. And if you find that moment.....it lasts forever.
“
”
Richard's speech at the end of the film
He wakes up in a tent in pain, surrounded by the community and the farmers. The farmers approach Sal, with whom they had an agreement where the lead farmer (Abhijati 'Meuk' Jusakul) give her a gun loaded with a single bullet and an ultimatum: shoot Richard dead and be allowed to stay, or leave the island forever. Sal approaches Richard and fires an empty chamber, throwing the crowd into chaos. The lead farmer smiles as the community instantly disintegrates. Sal collapses in a flood of tears, as the crowd, now in hysterics, flees en masse to get away from the island. Together, they swim back to the mainland and go their separate ways.
The film ends with Richard stopping by an internet cafe to check his e-mail. He receives a message from Françoise entitled "beach life" which contains a photograph of the beach community and an animated handwritten inscription over the image: 'Parallel Universe. Love, Françoise x'.

Christo's condition worsens, consistently lowering the morale of the whole community, so they take him out into the middle of the jungle and leave him to die. However, Étienne, disgusted by the group's decision, vows to stay with Christo.
Later, Sal observes the American surfers on the neighboring island and assigns Richard the task of watching them so he can obtain the map and destroy it. While he is waiting for the surfers to arrive, Françoise shows up, furious and heartbroken, saying that Sal has told everybody about her affair with Richard at Koh Phangan. Richard cannot cope with his task and retreats into the forest where he becomes temporarily insane, believing that he is communing with the long-dead Daffy, and by this point declaiming (in voice over narration) "the longer I'm away from the others, the less I miss them". He evades the other islanders and sets lethal traps in an attempt to keep them at bay, at times hallucinating that he is a character in a video game.
Meanwhile, the surfers reach the island but are discovered and killed by the marijuana farmers before they can get to the beach. Richard witnesses their executions and retreats to the community to convince Étienne and Françoise to leave the island, believing that all their lives are now in danger. Étienne refuses, not wanting to leave the emaciated Christo, whose leg has become gangrenous. When the other two briefly leave the tent, Richard tearfully smothers Christo to death in a mercy killing to put him out of his misery. When he leaves the tent however, he is struck across the face by a farmer and knocked unconscious.
Of course you could never forget what we have done, but we adapt. We carry on. And me? I still believe in paradise. But now at least I'll know it's not some place you can look for because it's not where you go, it's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something. And if you find that moment.....it lasts forever.

Richard's speech at the end of the film
He wakes up in a tent in pain, surrounded by the community and the farmers. The farmers approach Sal, with whom they had an agreement where the lead farmer (Abhijati 'Meuk' Jusakul) give her a gun loaded with a single bullet and an ultimatum: shoot Richard dead and be allowed to stay, or leave the island forever. Sal approaches Richard and fires an empty chamber, throwing the crowd into chaos. The lead farmer smiles as the community instantly disintegrates. Sal collapses in a flood of tears, as the crowd, now in hysterics, flees en masse to get away from the island. Together, they swim back to the mainland and go their separate ways.
The film ends with Richard stopping by an internet cafe to check his e-mail. He receives a message from Françoise entitled "beach life" which contains a photograph of the beach community and an animated handwritten inscription over the image: 'Parallel Universe. Love, Françoise x'.

film the beach
Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio), an American college student in Thailand for the summer, goes to Southeast Asia with the intention of experiencing something radically different from his familiar life. He meets Daffy (Robert Carlyle), a Scottish traveler who is crazy and rants on about a beach paradise on a secret island and the parasites of civilization. Daffy later commits suicide but leaves Richard a map to the island, convincing him that it exists.
Richard meets Françoise (Virginie Ledoyen) and her boyfriend, Étienne (Guillaume Canet), and persuades them to accompany him to the island, partly out of an infatuation for Françoise. They travel from Bangkok to the shores of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand, where Richard befriends a pair of American surfers. They talk excitedly about the myth of the beach and how it has an almost unlimited supply of marijuana. Richard does not admit his knowledge, but copies his map and slides it under their door the next morning.
To finally reach the island, Richard, Françoise and Étienne must swim across to it. When they first arrive on the island, they come across an enormous marijuana plantation guarded by local farmers armed with AK-47 assault rifles. They manage to evade detection. After jumping off a high cliff and landing in a lake below, they are seen by Keaty (Paterson Joseph), who takes them to the beach community. They are cautiously interrogated by the island's leader Sal (Tilda Swinton) regarding their knowledge of the island, but are accepted. The trio are introduced to everybody and over the next few days go on to become integrated into the community.
One night while Richard and Françoise are walking down the beach, she tells him that she is falling in love with him. They swim out into the ocean to look at a swarm of bioluminescent plankton, where Françoise kisses Richard and has sex with him on the beach. Despite their attempts to keep the romance a secret, the whole island finds out about it, including Étienne. Although devastated, Étienne says he will not stand in their way if Francoise is happier with Richard.
At first the island and its community seem to live up to their idyllic reputation. Richard swims out into the ocean to catch fish with a harpoon and is attacked by a young mako shark, but he stabs it to death with a knife, which gains him much admiration. Events take a turn for the worse when Richard is chosen to accompany Sal to the mainland to acquire supplies, where Richard is inadvertently reunited with the American surfers who are preparing to go to the beach with two girls. Sal overhears their conversation about the copy of the map and confronts Richard, who admits his guilt. In exchange for Sal's silence and Richard's return to the island, Sal blackmails Richard into having sex with her that night.
When they return to the island, everything returns to normal until the Swedish fishermen Sten (Magnus Lindgren) and Christo (Staffan Kihlbom) are attacked by a shark while fishing in the ocean. Sten dies almost immediately and Christo is severely injured. The only options for Christo are to go to the mainland to get medical help or stay on the island and take his chances. Christo chooses to stay, not wanting to go near the water after his encounter with the shark, but Sal refuses to allow a doctor to come to the island.

film notebook - ryan gosling
At a modern-day nursing home, an elderly man named Duke (James Garner) begins to read a romantic story from his notebook to a fellow patient (Gena Rowlands).
The story he tells begins in 1940. In Seabrook Island, South Carolina, local country boy Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling) is smitten with seventeen-year-old heiress Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams) after seeing her at a carnival, and they share an idyllic summer love affair. Noah takes Allie to an abandoned house, which he explains that he intends to buy for them. Later that evening, she asks him to make love to her, but they are interrupted by Noah's friend Fin (Kevin Connolly) with the news that Allie's parents have the police out looking for her. When Allie and Noah return to her parents' mansion, they ban her from seeing Noah, whom they called "trash, trash, trash". The two break up and the next morning, Allie's mother announces that the family is returning home to Charleston.
Noah and Allie have no choice but to move on with their lives; Noah and Fin enlist to fight in World War II and Fin is killed in battle. Allie becomes a volunteer in a hospital for wounded soldiers, where she meets an officer named Lon Hammond, Jr. (James Marsden), a young lawyer who is handsome, sophisticated, charming and comes from old Southern money. The two eventually become engaged, to the delight of Allie's parents, but Allie sees Noah's face when Lon asks her to marry him.
When Noah returns home from the war, he discovers his father has sold their home so that Noah can buy the abandoned house, fulfilling his lifelong dream to buy it for the departed Allie, whom by now he hasn't seen for several years. While visiting Charleston, Noah witnesses Allie and Lon kissing at a restaurant; he convinces himself that if he fixes up the house, Allie will come back to him. Later, Allie is startled to read in the newspaper that Noah has completed the house and she visits him in Seabrook.
In the present, it is made clear that the elderly woman is in fact Allie, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and cannot remember any of the events of the film so far. Duke, the man who is reading to her, is her husband, but Allie cannot recognize him.
Back in the forties, the day after Allie arrived in Seabrook, she and Noah renew their relationship and make love. In the morning, Allie's mother appears on Noah's doorstep, telling Allie that a jealous Lon has followed her to Seabrook. Allie confesses to Lon that she has been spending time with Noah. He is angry but says that he still loves her. Allie tells him she knows she should be with him, but she remains indecisive.
In the present, Duke asks Allie whom she chose. Becoming lucid, she remembers that the story Duke was reading is the story of how they met. Young Allie appears at Noah's doorstep, having left Lon at the hotel and chosen Noah. Elderly Allie suddenly remembers her past; after finding out about her illness, she herself wrote their story in the notebook with instructions for Noah to "read this to me, and I'll come back to you". But soon Allie relapses, losing her memories of Noah. She panics, not understanding who he is, and has to be sedated.
The next morning, Elderly Noah ("Duke") goes to Allie's room to find her lucid again. Allie questions Noah about what will happen to them when she won't be able to remember anything anymore, and he reassures her that he will never leave her. She asks him if he thinks their love for each other is strong enough to "take them away together"; he replies that he thinks their love could do anything. After telling each other that they love one another, they both go to sleep in Allie's bed. The next morning, a nurse finds them dead in each others' arms.

First Loves
What is it about our first relationships that makes us into people we don't recognize when we look in the mirror? Normally when we think of first love, we think of sweet things and a time when our lives are full of endless possibilities. But...when looking back, does anyone else have those moments when you ask yourself, "What the hell was I thinking?" I don't know if this is a universal phenomenon or really just something that pertains to me, but it seems that Our first loves have a way of becoming our moon and sun to the point where we behave in ways we might not otherwise....like overlooking glaring flaws in the relationship, ignoring our friends, and doing things that push us beyond what we thought we were capable of. First loves always teach us lessons by the mistakes we make within them. Oh snap Toto...I don't think we're in Kansas anymore...
I have a friend...who shall remain nameless...who has confided in My husband and myself about his relationship with an older man. At the time...they were having alot of trouble with honesty and fidelity. They met online at a dating/hook up sight and began seeing each other. Soon a relationship developed. Our friend was in his twenties and the other man in his mid 50's. The problems began when our friend began to get serious about this older man. The older man would frequently not bother to call our friend for long periods of time, would not introduce him to ANY of his friends or family except to refer to our friend as his "nephew" to others. He kept there lives very separate. He also got caught by our friend continuing to solicite hook ups at the same sight where they met. Knowing what most of us do today, I'm sure alot of people would have had some hard words for anyone who claims to be their boyfriend and then treats them this way...many would move on to greener pastures....especially after catching your boyfriend cruising for hook ups on the same sight you met him on.
But my friend is in love...and it's his first....he's willing to ignore every warning sign and danger signal along the way because that feeling is so overwhelming. Ah well...When we hear from him at all these days its all unicorns, butterflies, and bunny rabbits. Thats first loves for you.
I understand by now that you can give people the best of your years of experience and they will take your advice and promptly ignore it. Its happened all too often. You can't walk another persons path for them..they will do what they need to do and sometimes being a good friend means standing back and allowing them to...even when you see the warning flags they don't. Sometimes, being a friend is still being there when the poodoo does hit the ventilation device. Besides, I was no different.
All these events have made me think back to my first boyfriend. I was twenty and fresh out of the closet...like less than a month out. I was like a heat seeking missile looking for someplace to put twenty years worth of pent up emotion and longing...and I found it. He was a very good guy...easy to talk to...easy to be around...the kind of guy that could bring out the most frightened of closeted men. We liked the same things and often spent long hours talking about video games, comics and all the juvenile stuff we both still love today. But..he was also the kind of guy who loved intellectualism for its own sake and considered himself smarter and more experienced than me...and he showed it to me in a variety of ways.
In any conversation he would love to argue it around to its begining just for fun...leaving me frustrated that I had not been heard at all. Also, in any new thing I discovered and became excited about...he had already been there, done that and didn't care to discuss it any further...mind you we were only a couple years apart in age.
But the part that eventually led to a break up with him was that he loved to seduce people that were outside his bounds and take me along with him. I was fresh out of the closet and dealing with sex outside of my relationship was scary....a little shame filled...and exciting all at once. Now...several years away from that relationship I can see how I was manipulated by him. Wtith him I experienced many things outside the norm...and I learned from them. I learned much from him both good and bad.
I learned what it felt like to be in love on all levels...not only emotionally...but physically as well. It was the first time in which all the elements were present and I didn't know that it could feel like that. Dating women never held this level of feeling and passion. I learned what it was like to love someone I was friends with and what a relationship could be. I saw myself do and say things to him I didn't think even existed within me...and in that moment realised that relationships were not meant to be easy all time, but required work and patience. I learned that two men can definitely love each other with the same level of commitment that any straight relationship can boast...a fact that was a revelation for me then.
In the negative...I learned that I can be manipulated and that sometimes my instincts for people arent so sharp(in fact..they suck). This taught me to be wary of the motivations of others and that its not always a good thing to accept people at face value. I learned that I am capable of doing things my sixteen year old self would have paled to consider....and thus the lesson was to take responsibility for that part of myself and my actions. With him I learned the connections between sex and love. I was with him for over three years.
Now...I have always been something of a serial monogamist. There has never really been a time when I was a single gay man. That said...I don't think I have lacked for lessons in life. Its just that most of those lessons have come from those I loved. If not for my first love, I don't think I would have had the emotional equipment to be with my current husband...with whom I have grown exponentially more. I can never regret anything that has happened because it has all led in some way to the love I know today. Even the bad things about my relationship with my first love have a different meaning for me today. All I regret is the pain and hurt of how we ended. I still carry that lesson today as well....even though he does not believe that is so.
That is my story...somewhat abridged....My point being that the people we first love take us to places we didn't think it was possible for us to go...and they usually hold a mirror up to ourselves in a way we have not been accustomed to seeing. They often teach us not only about love but the realities of living it day by day after the honeymoon has passed... so I can never be judging when I see someone else dive off that same deep end that I swam in for so long.
ah well, thats first loves for you...
Until next time dear readers...

Written perfectly!
My first love was with a girl when i was just 15, and it lasted 5 years. She gave me my first 'Taste' of love, but the taste was actually not as sweet as i thought. Moving out of this relationship and into a new, single 'Better' life, made me bitter towards her, as i realised i had been held back from doing things that others has already experienced in their teenage years. This Haunted me...I believe that the emotions and things that i am dealing with now, from 20 - present (22) are things that i could have dealt with muh earlier in my teens...But i am not one to regret, it happened for a reason!
Love is different i believe in each relationship, the passion and stength however is down to the individual bond, trust, and connection you have with that person. The love i have now, i believe will remain sweet!
Great read, Keep it up!
Chris

It is not only first love, but all love. Every time we open our hearts to love someone, we become vulnerable, and from that openness we learn something. First love tends to be more intense, more complete, but if we love each time like we've never been hurt before, and hold nothing back, we learn each time. But this is true only for those who love with an open heart. For those who love by manipulation, by selfish aims, like your first lover, or the older man of your young friend, they will never learn, and never truly experience love.

Great, now I'm all nervous and self-conscious. I've been w/ my current boyfriend (first relationship ever) for a year and a half and still going strong. I think our relationship is solid, but like I can't see the future ya know?
Okay, that's basically my comment. Have a great weekend! :)

I have a theory that gay people stay in their first relationship longer than they probably should, particularly if they didn't come out of the closet in middle or high school. They see their straight friends pairing up and dating and think "Why can't I have that?" Then, when they finally do date someone of the appropriate gender, they're just so excited to be dating and with someone, they overlook all the problems in the relationship. Maybe they're in love with the idea of having a boyfriend, they just don't want to lose that by confronting the problems. Or maybe they just don't know what dating should be like, because they didn't dated people of the right gender as teenagers, when most straight people learned how to be in a relationship.
Either way, they'll put up with a lot more in their first relationship than they would in later ones.
Well, that's my theory at least. Maybe I'm off-base, and this isn't something that's unique to gay people. But that's kinda where my personal experience lies.

It all depends on the people, Sameer. The younger generation is luckier, with more open and opportunities earlier. And who knows, I have known older couples who met when they were young and stayed together all their lives. It's difficult to generalize but in general, I agree that the tendency to over-stay in a relationship, any relationship not just the first one, is directly proportional to the depth of the closet.
Good luck with your relationship, Chris. Maybe you are one of the lucky ones. Only you and your boyfriend can tell for sure.
By the way, every relationship has problems. It is not enough to say someone needs to end a relationship because there are problems. It depends on whether both parties are willing to learn from them and compromise, and stay together in spite of the problems. There are, of course, as Dr. Phil says, deal breakers, like abuse (both physical and emotional), drugs, unfaithful deceit, etc. In a way gay relationships never deal with these issues as much as straight ones for various reasons, and so many gay people stay in bad relationships longer than healthy for them. I stayed in one that, in hindsight, should have ended a year earlier - better yet, never got into it at all. I learned a lot about myself from that bad experience nonetheless. Live and learn. :-)

Chris, Everyone, including myself worries far to much about the future...If the present is treating you well, and your still enjoying your time with each other etc, then fine. Let the future take its course. However if the present isn't being kind, then address it...I too am now in a serious first gay relationship and am 22 (your 21 i see)
Sameer...I can relate to what you are saying and i have invested alot of my own time in making sure that whats happening now is right. Because i was 'in the closet' for so long, or maybe its just a personal trait I have, i found myself becoming obsessive with people. Not in a freaky way, but you know, falling to quickly, giving to much to quick etc. I was worried that this is what was happening with my current partner...And if i told you the story, God you'd think it was...the main point being i've moved to Brazil....I live in UK!
I invest alot of my thinking in making sure that i am here because of the relationship, our connection, our bond, not because of your points mentioned Sameer, because your RIGHT, this CAN happen very easily. Thankfully, there are no problems i can see yet in our relationship, and i will be sure to address these if they arise. I have far more to loose than him (being here) and i will make sure that i don't loose it by being 'Blinded by love...'

"Sometimes, being a friend is still being there when the poodoo does hit the ventilation device."
Sorry to disappoint you, Bryan, but "poodoo" is Huttese for fodder (i.e. animal feed).
I discovered it recently when I was writing something in response to the Vatican's recent decision to rank female ordination alongside paedophilic rape on a serious sin list. I intended to describe the list as "Papal bantha poodoo", on the theory that I would therefore not simply be describing Pope Ratty's latest outburst as a steaming pile of shit, but fictitious shit as that - a sweet (if not immediately obvious) extra degree of insult. Unfortunately when I double-checked the translation, I found out it wouldn't work: "fictitious animal-feed" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Five out of ten for effort though!
(hmmm, isn't that the second time in recent months I've seen you &/or Jay make a Star-Wars related mistake? You guys may need to hand in your fanboy cards if this carries on!)

Great entry. A lot of what was written resonated with me and my experience. I've never had a "first love" per se. Depending on how you define love, but given that I've never been in a relationship, not out of the closet, never done anything physical with anybody, etc. I'd definitely say I've never been in love.
That being said, I've definitely had a crush. A strong one where I acted as if I was in love. Like what you wrote, you learn stuff about yourself that you didn't even know you had in you. I finally understood what they mean by "crazy in love". It would've been helpful to turn to somebody for advice (or they could smack sense into me lol), but I was and still am closeted, so I just had to deal with a lot of issues by myself. I'm glad though, because I came out a stronger and hopefully a more mature person
I know I have tons to learn and experience still, but I feel I learned so much from my first major crush. Like you, I learned not to be overly trusting of people, and also still take the imprint of that "first" with me.
You mentioned "serial monogamy". Did you decide that's how you were going to conduct your relationships consciously or did they just kind of happen that way Bryan? I feel your personality is similar to mine in that area, and obviously you're much more experienced in life than me, so I'm interested in your thoughts on it.

I agree completely with Sameer, at least for my generation. I was extremely envious of my friends when they first started dating in High School because I realized I could not have what they did: a normal relationship accepted by society and my peers. Misinformation was so prevalent that I, to some extent, believed a gay relationship could never be as whole and meaningful as a straight one.
By the time I got to college I had discarded much of that flawed ideology, but then realized that I was missing something that my peers had acquired: the trial and error experiences accrued over their Middle and High School years. I don't know how to ask someone out, nor how to engage in a relationship because I have never tried and either failed or succeeded. But I think there's an even graver disadvantage to gay people: exposure to societal norms through media.
In all my 20 years, I cannot remember a single positive gay role model growing up until the movie "Brokeback Mountain," if indeed you can call that positive. Media is rife with examples of love stories and depictions of straight dating and stable straight relationships while at the same time bristling with negative examples of LGBT relationships (Dog Days with Al Pachino I would submit as such an example) when they’re willing to admit the existence of such people. Even worse, I just watched a short video that outlined how many villains in Hollywood can be seen expressing what society would label as LGBT tendencies (The Great Escape with the character Pierre and The Silence of the Lambs with the Buffalo Bill character).
Thus simple things, such as holding the door or buying flowers, become complicated in a gay (or LGBT) context: Is buying flowers too feminine to do for a boyfriend and if so, then what do you do in its stead? Do you hold the door for a guy? Who pays for the date? Even though these questions are also being asked in the straight community, it’s not looked down upon for a guy to buy flowers for his girl whereas things are more uncertain in an LGBT context. If these things were as clarified as they are for straight people, then it would certainly make dating for everyone else easier (and less awkward).
It certainly is true that things have gotten better for the younger generation, though I question to what degree. When I hear about some attempting to take their significant others to prom, it astounds me. At the same time, the simple fact that we’re hearing about them means these are exceptional cases, so there’s definitely room for improvement; I simply cannot see someone attempting to do so in my hometown. The issue of role models has also changed: Ellen DeGeneres and Neil Patric Harris are now openly gay, and more movies with gay themes have entered mainstream media (Milk and the new The Kids are Alright). Again, their numbers are few and it takes especial effort to find out about them. The ever-expanding Internet also has brought a lot of opportunities, such as this very blog, but again opportunities have multiplied for adversarial forces (and ill-informed opinions) as well. Hopefully as society moves ever closer to tolerance (at a snail’s pace…) things will become better.
Even if not, we do have one thing on our side: love. And love, as they say, conquers all.

Isn't it amazing how we do things we wouldn't normally do for that person we love so much, especially at the fear of losing them. Then later we realize if they really loved us, they wouldn't have asked or manipulated the situation. But, we grow as we make those choices. Funny, I read this today because I was sharing with a friend of mine yesterday about who I believe to be your nameless friend and was telling her how he was just on my heart because of some of his videos and most recent video. I do hope he's getting the best from his relationship and not being hurt....he's got such a great spirit and I'd hate to see him crushed...again! But, he's lucky to have friends who care about him so much!

I've done the stupidest thing you could do: I've fallen for a straight guy. I know you never really know, but it's the kind of person you just know is straight. It sucks when you biologically cannot be with someone.

Love is foolishness, one that anyone would choose over all the riches in the world: for love is being eternally rich without owning a thing. Besides, I would rather play the part of the Fool than that of the King, for the Fool dies with a satisfied smile on his face, while the King departs this world weary, his furrows still cemented in agony.
