Over the past two weeks I have been working so hard in preparation for my move to Sydney, building a pool fence around my spa, sorting out my tools, cleaning out my shed, advertising and trying to sell belongings whilst dealing with tradesmen, real estate agents and making minor repairs.
Moving is always stressful but the combination of moving to another organisation is terrifying, I had run myself down so much with stress that I became ill. Having no energy I almost fainted when I walked, I had to just stop everything and focus on getting better.
I needed a break from my blog's, I even considered stopping completely as I was worried that I had no time to even check my emails.
I believe the break was good and I feel a little refreshed as my health becomes back to normal.
I thank you all for being understanding as I hit the wall to speak very hard!

DNA holds Sexiest Men Night
DNA held a Sexiest Men Alive party at Will and Toby's, Taylor Square(Sydney), last night and it was a huge.
Zach and David from Big Brother were there, as were Mark and John, two hot speedo waiters who kept the crowd entertained simply by walking about in their speedos and sneakers.
A bunch of DNA coverboys were also at the party, and Michal Nicolas from Boy Around Town TV arrived with his camera crew in tow and filmed a Sexiest Men Alive special for his show.

Returning Home
After a relaxing 3 1/2 weeks in Sydney, I flew back into Adelaide last night after earlier setting off the excess luggage alarm, and for the first time having to pay for over weight luggage. A 10kg roll of packing paper the culprit.
Today the work began for my move to Sydney, when two real estate agents inspected my property, to place it on the growing rental market.
Tradesmen booked for final repairs, all I have to arrange is the revivalist and pack...
Subsequently my posts have been a little thin over the last few days...
Having booked some tradesmen for final repairs all appears to be on track for my move.
Brazil to pay for sex-change operations
Brazil's public health care system will cover the cost of sex-change operations, the government said after a federal court ruled the procedure was a constitutional right.
The court's chief judge Rober Raupp Rios said the ruling would prevent self mutilation by people with sexual identity problems.
The Ministry of Health estimated the cost of sex-change operations in Porto Alegre at about 1,000 dollars, and that as many as one Brazilian in 10,000 could be seeking one.
During 2000-2007, Brazil carried out 250 sex-change operations, the ministry said.

When a truck isn't large enough
Yesterday was a huge day, so no posts were written!
I have just helped my boy move into our new rental property, a nice 2 bedroom split level apartment close to Oxford St in Sydney. Yesterday was a very long day but we managed, I have never seen so many pairs of shoes, they were coming out of the closet, I now realise I am so not gay in one sense.
I only have about 6 pairs of shoes, the above ship was hired to transport my boys shoes and shirts some of which have still never been worn.
Moving is never stress free and we certainly had our stress, the carpets were friggin filthy, even though they were supposedly cleaned three weeks ago, I had them cleaned and have a lovely sample of the water. Not to mention the condition of the curtains, smell of cats urine, oh how lovely.
So now I'm going to shame the cleaning company. I am considering sending them a sample of the water so they can see how effective their cleaning is.
Anyway my boy is now settled in, so that's great, I will return to Adelaide on Sunday to finalise my property and then pack and drive 1600km across the Hay Plains to be with my boy and with my fabulous friends.

Britney's topless lesbian fling
Briney Spears got down and dirty in a hotel pool with her former assistant Shannon Funk.
According to pals, the ladies cleared the hotel pool of other guests so they could enjoy kissing and fondling each other.
Britney's wild behaviour followed her topless romping with video extra Matt Encinias in the same LA hotel.
Britney stripped to just her knickers, hat and shades and partied until 4am - seducing Matt first then Shannon.
One friend said: "Britney seemed more into this girl than she ever has been into a guy.
"Even though the hunks were hot, Britney made a beeline to cavort with Shannon.

Hayes savages HOWARD
Australian Singer Darren Hayes has hit out at John Howard's stance on gay marriage and urged his fans to not vote for him.
Hayes married Briton Richard Cullen in London last year, but his husband has to travel with him to Australia on a tourist visa. "It makes me angry and frustrated," the former Savage Garden frontman said yesterday.
"I'm Australian and the way the law sits I can't bring my partner home as my partner. That to me is an infringement of my civil rights -- a very un-Australian thing. I would never have voted for John Howard and I encourage people not to. I don't think he speaks for this country in the same way I don't think George Bush speaks for the US."
Hayes is in Melbourne to promote his new single On the Verge of Something Wonderful, which made its debut at No. 29 in Australia this week and is No. 10 on the UK midweek chart.

So who was the winner?, well apart from us, I would say Myer for having hot guys in black swimwear!

Tiananmen Square turned into a festival of jubilation Wednesday night as people from across China and from around the world gathered to celebrate the one-year countdown to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

The Games will commence at 8pm on the 8th day of the 8th month of 2008. 8 of course is a lucky number in China.

Firefighters cry Harassment
Four San Diego firefighters are pressing sexual harassment claims against the city's fire department after they were taunted while driving a fire engine in a gay Pride parade last month.
The men claim their battalion chief ordered them to ride in the July 21 parade through San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood, according to their attorney, Stephen Stirling.
The firefighters followed the order out of concern they would otherwise be suspended or punished.
During the parade, the firefighters said, bystanders taunted them with sexually explicit comments and colleagues called to tease them for participating in the event.
"I was forced into a situation that would compromise what I hold true and what I believe in," engineer Jason Hewitt said in a statement.
The four contend the department failed to protect them from sexual harassment and didn't immediately act to correct the situation, Stirling said.
The four men, who were assigned to a fire station in the parade route area, were called in after another crew that had volunteered to participate canceled at the last minute because one firefighter had a family emergency.
My Thoughts
OMG get over it guys, we work in a profession that is highly regarded and respected by the community, that's the entire community, the gay community is part of the community it represents about 10% of the population.
I attend incidents without prejudice, I don't care where people are from, or what their beliefs are, I attend and help, THAT IS OUR JOB!, it's not up to us to decide what we will and wont attend to.
The fact that you have made a harassment case for attending a community event has put a dark shadow over your service.
Singapore bans gay picnic

Homesexual 2nd Birthday Celebrations
Homesexual is turning two on the Thursday night eve of the APEC summit in Sydney, not that Sydney needs to celebrate the arrival of 21 world leaders, but it's a just a good excuse to party with three days to recover.

Gay Street opens in Rome
Gay rights activists welcomed a 325-yard zone in the center of the city — filled with shops and bars — as an area where gays can "feel at ease," after days of heated debate in predominantly Roman Catholic Italy over the kissing incident.
"This will be an area where people can feel at ease, and it is also meant to be a bridge between the citizens and the homosexual community," activist Fabrizio Marrazzo, the Rome leader of Italy's Arcigay gay rights movement, said Friday.
Hundreds of thousands watch Vancouver gay parade
Rainbows, water balloons and gay rights were front and centre Sunday at the 29th annual Vancouver Pride Parade as an estimated 385,000 people watched the spectacle dance down streets in the city's densely populated West End.

Firefighter beefcake calendar banned
The emergence of a naked firefighter in a lurid video has prompted a ban against New York City Firefighters making any more beefcake calendars.
Future editions of the wildly popular FDNY calendar, which last year raised more than $150,000 for the department, were banned Friday by Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta.
Scoppetta acted after a "Guys Gone Wild" video emerged of firefighter Michael Biserta, 22, stripping naked before several enthusiastic women in 2004, The New York Daily News reported Saturday.
Biserta, a second-year firefighter in Brooklyn, posed shirtless before the Statue of Liberty in the 2008 "Calendar of Heroes." The 2008 FDNY calendar, featuring Biserta will remain on store shelves, will be the last "Heroes" calendar published, Scoppetta said.
Below are some stills of the boy's piece of meat that has caused the controversy..
Biserta joined the FDNY after the video was filmed and, therefore, will not face any discipline, The Daily News reported.

Amsterdam Gay Pride Draws Record Crowd
Gays and lesbians sailed through Amsterdam's historic canals as the city celebrated its annual Gay Pride festival.
The party drew an estimated 500,000 people and took place in the shadow of a spate of gay-bashing attacks this year which has surprised a city renowned for its tolerance.
DJs pumped music from ships packed with dancing partygoers, vying for the most outrageous theme. Well-muscled men wore leather, cowboy hats, disco glitter, and little else.
Crowds lined the canals to watch the boats pass, basking in the first warm weekend since summer started.

Some of New York's finest have been selected for the 2008 Fire Fighters calender. I will admit that the guys are hot but what a boring calender, honestly where are the tools, the hoses the branches the soot and sweat on their bodies.
