Besides the temperature index for the last three days of 100F to 105F. I hooked up with my AVATAR after a separation for two years. Being a true favelado, lying to him comes just as naturally, if not more so than the truth. Honest. Yes. Sexy. Definitely. All of the rest, lots and lots of bull. One of the guys who is at MM, who has the nickname there of the Mohican or Chico, live near each other in the group of favelas between Cascadura, Madureira and Vila Valkirie, northwest of the Maracana. And ran into him on a bus, a big surprise/coincidence, and got his new cell phone. After a couple of phone calls, we met up downtown, near where he works. I was thinking just to chat. He wanting much more. I saw him and of course, was attracted immediately. If anything, he looked better than before. More mature to me. Hotter. He put on a bit of muscle. No steroids in evidence. Surprise. We ended up spending the night at my home. More than just catching up. One great night of festivities but no future. Just an incredible sexual being, very skilled, talented what have you. Had a late night swim in the pool. Sex under the stars. All of the good stuff. But unfortunately the bullshit outweighs even that. Way too much to put up with. His stories and lies are just too much to put up with after a period of time. If I only wanted to use him for his body, then it wouldn't matter. Alas, I was hoping for more... It has been truly hot here. Temperature wise. Combined with a breeze you have loittle clue that dehydration is happening and then next thing you know, heat stroke. Lots and lots of gin and tonics with ice pool side. Pleasant way to spend Christmas without cold, rain, sleet, snow or ice.

Campo Grande, on the west side of Rio de Janeiro, set a new record not seen since 1915. 109degress. 43.2 Celsius. In Saude, part of the Zona Portuaria, close to Meio Mundo and the Praca Maua, reached 106degrees or 41.3 today. Usually Bangu and Campo Grande are the hotest part of Rio de Janeiro as there is a depression in the land out there and the heat just seems to build and build. But surprising as to how hot it is near the water here on Guanabara Bay. Going for a swim in the mud on New Year's Eve should be close to jumping into a tub of loose, fresh poop. Yech. Tradition says that a mudbath on January 1st brings you good health for the coming year. Unfortunately I don't think I can send in one of my dogs by proxy.
