my lists
i've had a few people ask me about the list that i keep posting about on Facebook. In all reality, it's not really that exciting or any kind of big deal whatsoever, but it's being very helpful to me so far!
Basically, my list is just a standard to do list. i keep it because i tend to do better when i have things written down in front of me. And, also, it's easy to add to the list when something pops in my head so that i don't forget it later. Typical to do list standards lol My goal is not to get everything on my list done, but just to work towards getting things on the list done at all. they can be things as simple as take out the trash, or more involved like clean out my closet (which would take days i'm afraid)
The reason i post about it on Facebook is simple. Awhile back i talked about changing up my routines. Well, one of my routines is to come home and sit at the computer for hours at a time and not get anything done, only the bare minimum. So, i've simply challenged myself to work on getting things done on my list between the time i'm done with work and 9pm. Then, after 9, i can sit at the computer for however long i like and do whatever i want. So far, it's working for me!
Good times!

Camp Bear
i had a wonderful time last weekend at Camp Bear at Timberfell in TN. It was our 4th time attending and we always enjoy it. Already have our room booked again for next year!
One of the things i really love about CB is that in some ways it truly is attending camp. Of course, obviously, Timberfell is a campground so there are tents everywhere and cabins and a lodge and such. But, i'm referring to the people. It's so nice to go back year after year and see familiar faces of staff and friends we've made over the years. It makes a very relaxed atmosphere, which after a busy work year, i can always use.
i love the fact that, unlike other bear/gay events i've been to, this one is so open and friendly. Of course, like anywhere else, there are certain groups that hang out together all the time. i don't really think of them as cliques because they are all still welcoming whenever you walk by. At least, to me they are. And there are all types of guys there. Not everyone's a bear....i'm not lol but am still made to feel part of the event.
i'll admit that i'm not aggressive socially. i never really have been. CB gives me a chance to work on that, and i did this year. i met some great people and made a few friends. Thanks to places like Facebook, i'll be able to keep up with them til next year! Of course, i didn't get around to everyone on my list, but it gives me something to work towards next year!
If you've never been to CB before, you should definitely look into going next year. It truly does have a reunion atmosphere and i, personally, cannot wait til next June! Woofs!
