I just want to give you guys a head's up about the scene in Havana. I got there on February 13. I had dinner with a young Cuban guy I met on Bearwww.com. He wasn't a rent boy. He turned out to be more feminine in person. He was very pretty, but not my type. Also it was difficult getting to know him because he had no English and I have very little knowledge of Spanish. I felt sorry about letting him down as he was very sweet, but I felt no chemistry there. Saturday night I went to Humboldt 52 with the owner of Casa Arian. It was fantastic. Great entertainment and cheap booze. There were plenty of boys/men to be had. Some were obviously gay, others were young macho guys. The majority were available for sex. I was forewarned to tuck my money away and to bring only enough for the evening. There I met the most gorgeous young twink ever. Sorry I have no contact information; he lives with his family. The prices range to 25CUC ($1.00CUC=$1.00USD) to 45CUC. I also gave him toothbrushes, hair products, and small bottles of cologne. Bring some extra toiletries along because they are hard to get in Cuba and very appreciated. The boys are very nice and not at all dangerous, but are not averse to lifting a few items when you're back is turned, so put all your valuables in the safe. Another caveat, do not buy food on the street. I bought a fruit juice from a street vendor and had 24-hour bug. So bring Immodium and any other over the counter meds you need. I drank the tap water and had no ill affects. However, there are no convenience stores there, so you have to buy bottles of water in restaurants. I ate several times at the Hotel Park Centrale which is very modern and has reasonable prices. The owner of Casa Arian also suggested some good Cuban restaurants. I met some guys from Amsterdam and after recuperating from my stomach ailment I went with one to Cabaret Las Vegas. There were about 50-75 rentboys there. The majority were black or mulatto and between 20-30 years old. I didn't see any twinks that night. The Dutchman and I proceeded to get inebriated and we left the bar with two guys. My guy was a black dude around 23 with a big pinga. Most of the boys are "activo" only. My last night I went back to Humboldt and once again the show was fabulous. One of the dancers was extremely handsome. I was mesmerized. As I had an early flight back to Toronto I left early with a tall handsome mulatto guy in tow. When I got to the airport I was still tipsy, but got a few winks in the waiting area. Some overall comments. It was my first time in a third world country and it took a bit to get used to the sadly run down buildings. However, I didn't see any panhandlers and the people were healthy and well-dressed. There were many many handsome Cuba men on the streets and sidewalks. Make sure to bring a Spanish phrase book because almost no one speaks English or any other European language. Beware to taxi drivers overcharging you. Negotiate your price before getting in the taxi because they are unregulated. I liked using the bicycle taxis for short rides. My ankle was still healing after a break in December. For souvenir shopping go to old Havana. I was told that the Malecon was dead because of the cold winds there at night so I didn't bother going there. The weather in February in Havana is not very hot and some nights I wore a jacket when I went out. The hottest day I was there it was about 29 Celsius and almost no humidity. Many of the Cuban guys want you to fall in love with them. I believe it's because they are desperate to get to a first world country. But there are some sincerely nice guys who are very romantic. I'm definitely going back, but I'm going to learn more Spanish before I do so. Being able to communicate with the locals really adds to the enjoyment of the holiday. I think the next time I go it will in March because the cool sea winds precluded going to the beach. My rating is 3 1/2 stars out of 5!

You Want Cup of Suckee ?

The former head of the Mossad, Meir Dagan, speaks out on the damage Bibi is doing to Israel: "An Israeli prime minister who enters into a confrontation with the US administration needs to consider the risks. When it comes to the settlements, there is no difference between the two parties. Nonetheless, we are protected by the American veto power. If we are at odds with the White House, we could lose that protection and, within a short space of time, find ourselves facing international sanctions. "The risks involved in such a confrontation are intolerable. We are already paying prices today. Some I know about but cannot elaborate on." Dagan doesn't limit his criticism of Netanyahu to his de facto alliance with Republicans. Apparently even conservatives in the Israeli foreign policy establishment fear that his crude conduct of Israel's affairs are damaging their future.

Random something to brighten our day.

Not everything is always obvious to the Naked eye. Lifes surprises are always the best gift !

One more reason Fuckefeller Rockefeller Center keeps its signage out of reach.

About half way through I realized that he had not used one four letter word, or said anything inappropriate, then the last 30 seconds he explains regarding new comedians, attempting to get a laugh: "So they take shortcuts they'll use off color material, use four letter words, or insult somebody in the audience. My show I don't have any of these things in it, I don't think anyone should have to pay money at a box office or invite into their homes any jokes or any words that they can read on public walls" A thoroughly interesting and enjoyable interview.

Interesting story, and it sounds like this thoughtful little girl is not the only one who has established a mutual gift-giving relationship with crows. I currently have a bunch of these bellicose black-bellied blighters being bothersome around my place and have been looking for something to give them too. They must have sensed my intentions as I came out yesterday morning to find they had beat me to the punch with a few little gifts of their own.

Why do I feel like I fell down a rabbit hole? And popped out in The Big Bang Theory? BAZINGA!

And the guy singing it wasnt half bad either... Gorgeous ! but I gotta admit... I am hooked on Cookie. In my next life I wanna be Her (I am ALMOST her now )
