More protests yesterday directly in front of the Guanabara Palace concerning the visit of Papa Franciso and the 53 million dollar cost being born by the government of Brasil for the Journey For World Youth and International Youth Day this Thursday. I'm not sure if anyone has heard that amidst a throng estimated from between 1.5 and 2 million, Fran is going to be walking the stations of the cross on the sands of Copacaban. Even by me, there are a few hundred extra kids here in my little corner of the world bunking with friends and relatives. It is happening all over the metro area. Quite a feat to see this happening in front of my eyes. Some of them are quite cute and then others...not so much. One interesting facet is that the Catholics are copying one of my, I thought original, tour-guiding ideas. They are offering a self-directed walking tour of the six historic churches on the Rua Primeiro de Marco. From the recently-restored Santa Luzia, past Sao Jose, continuing on to the neighboring Antiga Se/Old Metropolitan Church and the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, back across the street to the Brotherhood of the Holy Cross of the Miltaries and finally to the Candelaria with masses offered throughout the week in varied languages at different locations. One point of interest is that yesterday afternoon and this afternoon at 5PM, the Antiga Se rededicated their restored pipe organ with celebratory performances. No idea if papal nuncios have been issued for those heretic non-believers who also cross the threshold without taking communion. Or for the various priests who perform sundry other services while kneeling down around the corner from the Cardinal's Palace at Rua Candido Mendes, 117 in Gloria(GLORY.)

It is not BS, MVAN. For the US of A, the drug capital is Portland. Decent enough weather year-round that existence can be maintained outdoors. Reports have been aired on TV about this fact for years. Supposedly, liberal attitudes about marijuana usage led to more users traveling to this area of the US from elsewhere and ditto increased usage of harder drugs with less chance of prosecution.

I think I had him last night, even including the faked blond highlights. No bling but then while he was pummeling my butt, I fear that he might have punctured my scrotum with that pointy thing, and I don't mean the unseen penile unit.

Who knew that Joy and I both like a hot guy on our backs and that Sherry and I are both gayer than gay?

I can imagine him screaming to high heavens for Wendi Deng to come save his sorry ass and begging for mercy by actually offering to reveal what was in Al Capone's secret vault.

Come on. You know you'd bend him over and fuck him. Isn't one warm ho, er hole just as good as the next one?

Not sure what to say. One more of the Baixada Boys. They cum, er come by bus, van and trem to sell there wares at Clube New Meio Mundo. I have been missing fooling around with him for about a year or more. I suppose he has a decent business as a painter, ne doesn't seem to be at the sauna too often. And he is much nicer than the photos. Damn camera phone. Or I think so when he doesn't totally shave himself down, which is the style here. We've been going back and forth about what he was comfortable performing. Ativo or Ativo Liberal or Completo. Is he going to kiss or not. Oral without or with a condom. Everytime I tried to kiss him he wold turn away. I knew it wasn't my breath. So I never got to find out until I forced him to kiss me and he did a bit, which was nice, and said not in front of everybody. Anyway, he was phenomenal. And no problems at all not only getting a stiffy or maintaining it. More of a problem to keep from ejaculating. He kept pushing me off of him. So many guys ooh and aah. I thought it was just more of the very, very bad telenovela acting that they learn from toddler age. Not with Rodrigo. And none of the bullshit comments that he was saving his "leite"or "milkey"for three days for me and for another 20Reais who would cum wherever I wanted. All of it for me for the bargain cabine price of 20Reais. Fun times on Monday night. I guess this was Fran's first miracle on his road to sainthood. A fucking fantastic programa.

Well, LSPK, I figured out how to get the pictures out of my camera. I lack the connecting wire to go to my USB port. I've somehow misplaced two. And the replacements go for 50Reais, and if it isn't really a brasilian Nokia it doesn't transfer data. I've also bought a cheapo here and tried my niece's US Nokia phone=USB connection. No dice. This technodummy just figured out to e-mail myself. Coming right up.....er, that is just what I did already. And he as well.

Il Papa is much more of the common man. He would definitely minister to those poorer boys who make their way to the more derelict Clube New Meio Mundo. Actually, almost the whole house was watching the Pope's arrival on TV as he took a zig-zag tour through Centro, entering via Ave. Presidente Vargas. On of the boys who works at both saunas told me that frequent Saturdays and Sundays receive a couple of priests. After all, between Masses they must minister to their flock and the palace of the cardinal is just around the corner at Benjamin Constant.

Maybe he was presenting to the TSA officer a more inviting and dangerous package in need of further investigation. Don't you find it quite invigorating to play with a nice full scrotum?

I love it when I get cupped by a cute TSA agent. My only problem is that I am desperate to reciprocate. But that is a bit off-topic and maybe for a different forum?

For a Saturday night, Meio Mundo was really nice tonight. Centro was very busy yesterday and today. There are tons of youths roaming the city for the World Youth Journey - Jornada Mundial da Juventude. Pope Franciso arrives this week. Downtown plastered with all of these multilingual signs posted everywhere, People wearing little plaques around their necks with the country they traveled from. I've seen almost as many nuns as attend the Metropolitan Cathedral on Ave. Chile for mass on Good Friday. They are expecting 1.5 million for Francisco's Mass on the beach in Copa. So Centro was hopping with lots of youths today. And there was some hot new blood at Meio Mundo tonight. I decided (for me) to have a buffet of tasty morsels. Three different guys. Yum. Yum. Yum. Very piggish. Oink. Oink. Meio Mundo - very nice for a Saturday. I got there at about 5PM. First date for 60Reais. Completo. Hotter looking than the horizontal action. Leonardo. I was there on this past Monday and chatted him up. I was interested but my body failed me. Just felt exhausted. I should have stayed exhuasted, but it was a nice warmup. Because... ... it got better. Much. A lot. Second guy looks like a young schoolboy with an incredible swimmer's build and a dick that kept on growing. Very rapable. And I did.He goes to a school on Ave. Presidente Vargas in Centro for environmental studies. Looks 19. Actually 27. My favorite cookies are the Little Schoolboys and he is now my new favorite cookie. Ny own little schoolboy. Completo and we had a lots of fun. 80Reais. He started at 100Reais and came down quickly. It was his second night at Meio Mundo. He is so hot with a dick that just kept growing. And growing. Very addictive. He is staying over tomorrow night for 200Reais. Worth every penny. Rodrigo. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that no one tells him or he doesn't figure out that he should switch to 117 where he can earn more money. To me, he is too hot for Meio Mundo. The third one was so, so handsome. Beautiful face. Much better looking even in brighter light. Flourescent lighting can be a killer. And he just looked better. Incredible boy Not too muscular. Claims to be a life guard in Barra da Tijuca at a large condo development. Only proof I can go by is that he has an incredible tan line. Fabio. 26. 19cm and really thick Full thick scrotum that spewed a geyser of cream y milk. And the kind of butt that people all over the world talk about when they refer to Brasilan Bundas.

She was born to lesbian parents. Wow! That was certainly one progressive family to be brought up in all of those years ago. I'm surprised that with that type of upbringing, she held such beliefs concerning the Jews,

Hey. Sorry. I goofed. I get my Diego's/Diogo's/Thiago's/tiago's mixed up quite often. The names are all derived from the biblical Yaakov or Jacob, by the way. The mostly ativo boy, for a very few he might even deign to suck dick poorly with a condom, wearing a two-toned Tag Heuer who fled 117 with a client last night is Diego. 5'11"or 6'0" If he even shows, normally only on a Tuesday, hardly ever on a Friday, and never other nights of the week. Supposedly he strips for women on Saturdays and Fridays if he can get a gig. Incredibly gorgeous, kind of reddish/blondish/light borwn hair with a close mustache/beard, beautiful muscled body, developed but not too much. He never trolls for clients downstairs or in either of the bars. He stakes out his spot right at the stairs on the main level. Stands there looking gorgeous in all of his glory. Mixed him up with an ativo/liberal who I have in my cell as Thiago Musculoso/The Muscular. He has incredible abdominals that a miniaturized model of the lunar rover would have trouble negotiating. He is normally there on Tuesdays and Fridays. Never any other nights. He claims to be a photographic model for swimsuits. And he tells me he has a job from 8AM- 3PM. Basically a shorter, more muscled version of Diego with the kind of smile that will hypnotize you. About 5'8" and need I say, well hung and stay very hard. He never needs to go into the movie room to get a stiffy. And he does walk around on both floors, circling, circling, circling like a shark searching for its next victim. He is really a personable guy. Unlike many of the guys who are not very well-spoken, this one is quite nice.

There is a really hot guy, who works at Meio Mundo and Pointe 202, looks like he could or should have done multiple porn shoots for LatinJocks.com but on Monday night swore up, down and sideways that he had not. A Baiano - and all that indicates - from Brasilia, supposedly here in Rio for 4-5 months, ativo liberal and a real 8 1/2 inches with a wild curve and a great smile, wonderfully talented as I discovered last week, nome de guerra of Thiago(yet another) real second/middle name of Roque, wants 400Reais as well. But that was with no negotiating. I'm fairly certain he might be convinced for a bit less. Although not sure, as he is quite the looker.

I've read faint mention of this from different news sources. Reading of 258,000 ER visits due to heroin use is a great surprise. Ditto the Vancouver BC as the heroin capital of North America.

“Glee” star Cory Monteith, who died Saturday of an accidental overdose of heroin and alcohol in a Vancouver hotel room, may not seem like the stereotypical heroin user. That's why, despite the fresh-faced 31-year-old actor's openness about his lifelong struggles with alcohol and drugs, his death has shocked many. The surprise is only because most Americans aren’t familiar with the new realities of heroin. The economics and demographics of heroin use in the United States have been changing in recent years. In fact, according to statistics from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Monteith largely fits the new profile of a heroin user: a white male in his 30s. “I deal with drug users every day,” Dr. Richard Clark, an emergency room physician and director of toxicology at the University of California San Diego Medical Center, told NBC News. “The stereotypical user on the street? That’s the past as far as heroin use in the U.S. is concerned. Lots of people are using it these days – kids, teenagers, white-collar workers.” Many of the newest generation of users start as teenagers, often living in suburban or rural areas. As NBC News reported last year, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), documented an alarming 80 percent increase in first use of heroin among teens since 2002. In 2009, 510 teens and young adults between 15 and 24 died of a heroin overdose, up from 198 a decade earlier. “People think it’s totally impossible that they could know somebody who could be on that trajectory,” said Caleb Banta-Green, a research scientist at the University of Washington School of Public Health who writes frequently about heroin use. Monteith, Banta-Green said, “is what a heroin user looks like.” There are several reasons for the changing face of heroin use across the U.S., experts say. It’s cheaper and more plentiful. Once obtained through tortuous routes from the Far East and Southwest Asia, heroin is now also produced in South America and Mexico, much closer to the U.S., increasing its supply. Meanwhile, Afghanistan’s production leapt from 150 metric tons in 2002 to 664 metric tons in 2006, according to the United States Department of Justice. Meanwhile, the U.S. government crackdown on abuse of prescription opiates like oxycodone, has made the painkillers harder and more expensive to get, especially in rural areas where the pills had become popular recreational drugs. So drug users turned to heroin. “We knew that this would happen,” Eliza Wheeler, project manager for overdose prevention and treatment with the Harm Reduction Coalition, an advocacy group, told NBC News. “For the folks dependent on prescription pills, the logical thing is to switch to heroin.” And once people do switch, they find they prefer the rush of heroin, Clark explained. “There is no better opiate high than heroin,” he said. “It’s converted in the body to morphine within about 15 minutes and gets into the brain dramatically.” Heroin use dropped sharply during the height of the late 1980s-1990s AIDS crisis because drug users didn’t want to risk injections. Now, though, heroin is often snorted or smoked, giving it the same kind of ease of use, and even societal caché, as cocaine once had. Monteith is the first major celebrity example of heroin overdose for his young fans, but he is only the latest in a long trail of deaths among entertainers at least partly associated with the drug: Jazz man Charley “Bird” Parker in 1955, John Belushi in 1982, actor River Phoenix in 1993, to name a few. Authorities judge use prevalence partly by emergency room visits, and in 2011, there were an estimated 258,482 ER visits due to heroin, according to SAMHSA. Users wind up in ERs because they use too much heroin or mix it with another substance, as Monteith did. “If you’re out partying at a bar, you’re most likely not doing heroin in the middle of patrons drinking socially,” Clark explained. “But you may be real mellow from the alcohol, go back to your hotel room and say, ‘Boy, it would be good to get high with heroin.’” Although alcohol and heroin work somewhat differently on the central nervous system, they can act together. Most of the danger, however, comes from the heroin. Almost all heroin-related fatalities, Clark said, are because people simply stop breathing. In an effort to reduce such risks, Vancouver, where Monteith died, a city known by some as the heroin capital of North America because of its easy availability, has instituted a safe zone where drug users can take drugs without fear of arrest. The government has even authorized one clinic to give heroin to users for free as part of a research study called SALOME (Study to Assess Long-Term Opioid Maintenance Effectiveness) that hopes to discover if providing a reliable source of drug can help those who want to stop abusing to end their habits. Help for those who realize somebody may have overdosed is available. For example, the University of Washington Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute maintains a website giving advice on emergency procedures that could save a life. But, of course, that won’t do much good if nobody is around when a user is getting high, as appears to have been the case with Monteith. Vancouver police say they believe the actor was valone when he died.

I did not chat at all with PR2K's Fernando so I do not have a clue what he wants. I have talked to Thiago, who happens to be quite striking and claims to be a part-time swimsuit model and is only at 117 perhaps one weekly. Maybe twice. I talked to him last night and he had other "stuff" going on. Whatever that means. And an overnight with him is 400Reais. Another Fernando I met in my search for PR2K's Fernando, I went with last night. We had a great time and talked about an overnight. He is at 250. TomCal has posted many times that the guys he goes with are happy with the 150Reais he hands them. That used to be the price I paid as well. But lately have not even found any guys I was interested in bringing home. So...all I can say at this moment. Of course, one has to feed and water them as well, We are talking higher-quality horseflesh. And in the case of my avatar, a supply of marconha/ herva or in the US we'd say grass is appreciated.

I've been told it makes their balls shrink. I can attest to definite personality changes. An ex-boyfriend used them before we met. And then after we met began using once more. I broke up with him three times in six months as mood shifts occurred. He never had a problem getting and keeping a hard on nor ejaculating.

One of my favorite places in the center of Rio de Janeiro. Surrounded by many restored colonial buildings as well as the João Caetano and Carlos Gomes theaters.the old royal library with carved wood reading room. A couple of years back the entire plaza was rebuilt and traffic reformulated. No longer just a bus stop but beautiful area with the magnificent statue with cobblestones and Portuguese stones. Tiradentes was a Mineiro freedom fighter in the 1700's and the portguese colonial rulers. The name comes from his early occupation as a dentist. Tirar means to take out or away, pull, etc. And the dentes part is self-explanatory. Around this square are many colonial building in various states of rehab. The next street over is where the newly-rehabbed Colonial Mint is located, fronting onto the Praca da Republica. Bordered on another side by the Firefighter's Castle in bright reds and silvers. Shiny aluminum. Museum inside that Oz and I visited. A number of benches under shady trees to give a respite from the hubbub of the big city.

Last night at 117, I saw a real one. Kind of like around 25 years ago, when an in-his-prime Nick Nolte walked right in front of me and directly into a bar. Should have been an indication of where his life would later lead him. But, I digress. Oh, Nick Nolte was so beautiful 25 years ago. But a real live Brasilian porn star. He's done lots and lots of porn. Not my type, Way, too muscular. Of course, now even more muscular. Without a doubt, a user of "a bomba" or "anabolizades" or "anabolic steroids" A strikingly remarkable face. Just like in the photos and films. I was a bit surprise that he even was working at 117 last night. I would have thought he had enough private clients to support him.

It was back to normal at 117 last night. Almost every boy not wants 100.Very few ask me for 120. But I am sure for an English-speaking gringo they will attempt to start higher. First reason they ALL give is that Monik raised their entry by 10Reais. Of course, pure capitalism, they need to double the cost of their doing business, the entry and raise their asking price by 20Reais. On Wednesdays, Thursday and Sundays, entry remains at 10Reais, so if I go back on one of those nights, I assume that the boys will lower their pricing back to the previous 80? NOT. From about 6:00PM until about 8:15PM when I left there was a list with about 15 names. So very busy. However, everybody that signs up for the list are NOT waiting near the desk for their names to be called and you can JUMP to the head of the line before you get JUMPED by one of the boys. I asked one guy who I find very attractive, just my type, but not a very nice guy really, what he charge to go to a motel, he responded immediately 200Reais/hour, which I thought wa a bit rich as he is not too popular when I see hime there. I did finally run into PR2K's dream garoto/Adonis/god-like whore. Very young, very handsome and incredibly beautiful skin. I can only imagine what he looks like glistening when wet. There are very, very few boys with the quality of his looks. My favorite for the hottest guy there(to me) a Thiago who wears a real Tag Heuer watch and always stand in the vestibule, was without business for maybe 30-45minutes and then ran past me like a house on fire. Couldn't figure out what happened. A client took him out of there for an off-site programa. He was happy. Must have been worth his while.

Was that a dig that I live in a slum?

Give the guy a break. He battled his demons for many years. Shit happens. The last rehab stint obviously wasn't long enough. Life isn't always A-OK. It can suck! I found his candor about his many problems in life quite touching,

Is this a problem?
