Heading back to Provincetown

Posted on July 20, 2011 | 6 comments

I leave for Provincetown Thursday, July 21st and will remain on the Cape through the weekend. With the weather forecast calling for plenty of sun and temperatures in the low 90s, I can’t think of a better place to be. The image above shows just how crowded the deck at the Boatslip can get. If you prefer the feel of the sand under your towel and crave a bit more free space, Provincetown’s beaches will tempt anyone.

Although I love the sun; sadly the sun does not love my pale skin so I tend to seek the shade available from The Boatslip and similar places that have decks along the Provincetown harbor. If you happen to be visiting Provincetown – let me know by leaving me a comment. If you will not be able to get away from your home this weekend, let me tempt you with a few pictures of Ptown.

Provincetown is pretty as a postcard

After the bars close everyone goes to Spiritus Pizza

Provincetown welcomes everyone, but its still a Gay Ol’ Town

Men of Twitter

Posted on July 18, 2011 | 5 comments

Each Monday I post #MenOfTwitter profiles that catch my eye and whom I think you may enjoy following. Suggestions for profiles to feature are welcome and if you’d like to follow me, you can find me at@BosGuy.  Below are a few more#MenOfTwitter you may want to follow.

Str8cam is a delectable combination of sexy and friendly. Straight as an arrow, the gay community should thank Jeff for his work to make sex so satisfying. Not only is he sexy as the day is long, but he markets a product that makes sex so pleasurable. Not sure of what I’m talking about? Check out his site, http://STR8camLube.com.

Rybrator is a young man living in New York City. Aside from his obvious good looks (which I cannot stress strongly enough), I think he is worth following because he’s funny. Maybe it’s an age thing but anyone who rants on twitter about not hearing enough Britney I find amusing. Combine that with what I think are classic good looks and you get #MenOfTwitter candidate.

@TheRealTheoD it seems like hardly a week can go by without a sexy guy from London being featured in my #MenOfTwitter posting… Despite the fact that London has had their fair share of men featured, I couldn’t help but post The Real Theo D… Follow this handsome guy. You’ll enjoy his tweets #promise.

BTW – If you like this post, ReTweet. If you love it, follow@BosGuy. Link here to see past #MenOfTwitter.

Adam

Posted on July 17, 2011 | 3 comments

With the exception of my visit to the movie theater in December to take my nephews to see Yogi Bear in 3-D, I’m not even sure if I saw a movie in the theaters in 2010. At home I may have seen as many as 3-4 movies on demand or on television. So I suppose what I’m saying is that I’m no movie reviewer.

However, tonight I settled on an HBO channel while eating dinner – the movie which had just started was called, Adam. I had never heard of the independent film written and directed by Max Mayer, about a young man who suffers from Asperger Syndrome and becomes interested in an attractive neighbor living in his apartment building. But I am really glad I watched the movie… and should you see it – I hope you enjoy it too.

More about Adam.

Tracey – should you watch it… bring your tissues.

Whose Town?

Posted on July 17, 2011 | 2 comments

The Boston Globe has a great section to the paper called “Your Town”, which features local news from specific neighborhoods and towns around Boston.

The “news” section from “Your Town” also includes feeds from local bloggers. Yours truly has had posts on this site in the past, but a quick look at the Your Town: South End might make Bostonians wonder what is going on. Nearly every story appears to be about hotels in Chicago and Orlando… Oh yeah, and lets not forget about the article about the 405 shutting down today in Los Angeles. Glad that was there!

Perhaps this section of The Boston Globe should be called “Some Other Town”. You can click on the image below to enlarge the image. Its sort of comical.

The Wholy Grain: South End cafe

Posted on July 15, 2011 | 2 comments

I first wrote about the Wholy Grain coffee shop when it opened earlier this past spring. This tiny coffee house has quickly become a personal favorite and with the recent opening of their patio and garden, I can easily see myself coming here even more often.

Come in, check out this cute cafe and make use of their free wi-fi. I would recommend trying some of their over sized sweets. The Wholy Grain is located at 275 Shawmut Avenue.

I’m a lucky S.O.B.

Posted on July 14, 2011 | 5 comments

I rarely talk about my work, because I think that there are so many more interesting things to discuss. However, every once in awhile I feel the need to share. Because I work from home, my work hours can be somewhat unorthodox. However, I recognize that there are many people who have longer and more demanding days no matter how chaotic my week may be.

I have to admit that I also think that I do a very good job of disengaging from work and managing my down time. So today when I received a notice from my firm’s HR department regarding my vacation time I was wondering if I’d incorrectly filled out my time for the 4th of July holiday.
Imagine my surprise when upon reading the email I was receiving a notice asking me to consider taking more vacation time because I had maxed out the amount of vacation hours I was allowed to bank. According to the email, I need to schedule time off otherwise I’ll stop accruing vacation time. The email went on to describe how having a healthy work-life balance is important and I should speak to my manager about scheduling time away from the office.
I suppose the email came right in a nick of time. One week from today, I will be taking a few days to enjoy more fun in Provincetown. I also have a week’s vacation time scheduled for the second week of August.
I’m a lucky S.O.B.

Bastille Day: Vive la France

Posted on July 14, 2011 | 3 comments

I’ve never actually been in Paris during this holiday and wonder what the celebrations are like. For those who have read my blog for awhile you know I am a huge fan of Paris and French culture in general. I would imagine there are huge parades along the Champs Elysee, fire works and sorts of festivals and fun in all the neighborhoods.

After careful consideration, I opted for this bit of French eye-candy over some of the more traditional sights one would come to expect. I hope you approve.
