About Me

My photo
Manchester, Hulme, United Kingdom
6ft,regular gym goer 4/5 times a week,non smoker. I'm single live on my own and work in the city centre I consider myself loyal, easy going, friendly, funny (I hope). I like the gym, restaurants, cinema, theatre, shopping and the occasional drink, though a bit of a light weight there I'm afraid 1 glass and I'm drunk.So all in all just a normal guy who is sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes kind, sometimes not, but always just me... I am not impressed by a fancy car, house or job no amount of money can make up for a crap personality.Remember "to the world you may be one person but too one person you may be the world" Time is precious and it costs you nothing.You can do anything you want with it but own it.You can spend it but you cant keep it and once you've lost it there is no getting it back its just gone. As Joan Collins Said "Beauty is like starting with a full bank account and slowly withdrawing cash until there is nothing left"

‘You can tell me anything’




‘You can tell me anything’

my mother said to me
‘Except that you’re a queer’.
Words like that leave an indelible impression
On a child who knows 
 
‘But you are gay, aren’t you’
I would scream as I
looked at myself in the mirror.
‘No. It can’t be true’
The man in the mirror
Would reply.
 
‘What do you think of her?
My friends would ask
As they looked at the girls 
‘Absolutely nothing’
I would say in a voice so quiet
That only God or the devil could hear.
 
‘If you are faithful, I will cure you’
said my aunt,
masquerading as the Lord.
So I was in the church
Every time the doors opened
Hoping for my reward.
 
‘You can’t turn off
your homosexual attractions’
said a voice of reason in my head.
‘In which case, I’ll turn off God’.
Not realising that the two
Should be reconciled instead.
