I feel at home

I feel at home when I go to the city. Not the area where I go to my old job, but just the freedom of walking around getting everywhere without needing a car. I did the photo shoot last night at Pilsen, in the center of the art district. Afterwards I ate and talked and drank some wine. Later in the night my friend invited me over at his place.

I cabbed from Pilsen back to the River North area to the lofts over there. Went through Greektown, was nostalgic. So as I got over to my friends place he got me some chilled wine. More drinking for the night, it wasn't just any kind of wine, he got me some Greek wine (which I might add was very good)!

By that time, I was a bit tipsy from the wine when I left Pilsen and then more glasses of wine that I had at his place. We talked and I had a smoke, yes I do that once in awhile. Then we headed up to the balcony area. There were a lot if people sitting up there just chilling out. The view was freaking amazing of the Chicago skyline. So we hung up there and chilled and catching up on things.

It was a good time up on the balcony. Then we headed back down, to get some food. By this point, I was a little more than tipsy. We were at his place and then he grabbed me and tried to kiss me and I pushed him off. He was like come on, please! He's like I know you really love your girl, but just a little kiss. I was like no. He was saying he wanted to do more and couldn't believe how much control I had to resist his advances.

Well for one, I love my girl so much. I wouldn't ever go there. I know karma is a bitch and what comes around, goes around. Secondly, I'm not a ho and I don't go around fucking around with people the minute they pay attention to me. Yup, I have class and respect myself and I respect my baby. Lastly, I'm 100% gay so there isn't anything that would remotely attract me to that, yes he's a good-looking guy - I can appreciate a good-looking man but that's as far as it goes.

So anyways we talked about relationships, he was saying that there is something I like about the long distance. I told him because it's hard to find attractive femme woman here in Chicago, who aren't solely based on looks alone. He was like, yeah but I think you enjoy the freedom without being too attached seeing them every second. That was his theory, I said maybe it is but I didn't have a relationship where they were there every minute so I have nothing to compare it to. So we went on talking about that.

Then he was telling me how proud he was of me with how my business and how much of the photography biz I had learned since we last seen each other. Then by 12am I had to leave to catch my train, did t want to sleep at his place. I didn't get home until 2am.
