Australia Past: Touching Aussie Soil for the first time back in march 2008

Getting to Australia is not an easy task! You waste a whole day of your life flying in a metal mechanical bird. And my first trip to Australia wasn’t direct lol. I flew from New York to Houston, from Houston to Hawaii, from Hawaii to Guam, and from Guam to Cairns Australia. I still had one more flight to go since Christian was in Townsville and my flight wasn’t for another 5 hours. So I called him to let him know I was ok and slept at the airport. It’s funny because I used to Pronounce Cairns as Car-Nees but its pronounced Kan’s. Don’t ask me why I pronounced it as Car-nees. So when I finally arrived to Townsville I saw CT for the first time in months and he was looking cute. He drove me around Townsville and showed me his parent’s house and we just caught up. It was really cool because we just got along really well and it wasn’t hard for us to laugh. Anyways I think that day we dropped off my bags at his parent home and then we drove up to this water hole. The water hole was really nice and pretty. I saw my first wallaby which is a smaller version of a kangaroo. We swam for a bit then we heading back home and got some food. The reason why we were in Townsville was because we were going to go scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef. We had a few couple of days to kill so CT showed me around where he grew up.

One of the days before the scuba training we went to Magnetic Island which is an island just off the coast of Townsville. Its about a 15-20 min boat ride. It’s a small but very cute island. It has a few vacation homes. I am not to sure if people live on the island full time. I remember heading to one of the beaches. All the Beaches in northern Queensland have jelly fish nets since jelly fish are a serious concern in that part of the land. I was a little scared but in the end it was fine and we had a good time. We walked around the island for a bit and ate there as well. This is also around the time he wasn’t shy to fart in front of me and OMG THEY STINK. You know how people fart and sometimes the smell sometimes they don’t. WELL CT FARTS SMELL ALL THE TIME AND THEY ARE DEADLY. I think if you put a small animal nearby it would be killed. So after that I farted in front of him as well, fortunately for him mine only smell from time to time.

On another day/night we met up with CT childhood friend who still lived in good old Townsville. We went out to dinner and later that night we went to the highest point of the city and got a great view of the whole town. I also got to see a lot of bats in the air which isn’t something we ever get to see in New York. Townsville was nice considering it’s a very small town and kind of red neckish. We mostly just hung around the pool are rented a movie or drove around town. I rented one of my favourite movies “Saved” which is really funny but I don’t think he was crazy about it. And I was introduced to Delta Goodrem who is an Australian singer. My friend Justin is in love with Delta.

Anyways that’s all for now

Background Info on CT AND ME

So I was thinking that maybe I should start giving you guys some background information on me and Christian. It was January 7th I was out at my favourite Sunday night party Hiro when I met Christian and his friend Glenn.
They were smoking outside and David who was having a cigarette decided to go up to both Christian and Glenn for no apparent reason. We spoke for a little bit and decided to go back inside for a dance. The music was great, but the night was coming to an end and I guess Christian and Glenn wanted to keep dancing so they asked if there were any after parties. We told them about APT in the meatpacking district and decided to get our coats and go with them. I hate waiting in line for coat check so I decided to put my jacket under a bench ( which is what I have always done ) and that night someone took my Old Navy Jacket L. Lucky it wasn’t a cold winter night and the walk was about 5 blocks. It was Christian, Glenn, ken, Miguel and I that ended up going to APT. Glenn ended up leaving a bit early and APT got boring so we all went back to my place. Miguel actually ended up going back home and it was just me, ken and Christian.

Actually there are so many details to the story that I think I can afford to skip a few spots. Me and Christian ended up meeting up during the day a few times and we just walked around and stuff. I was flying to Las Vegas the next day and he was heading back to Sydney the day after. He called me later that day saying he had an argument with his friend and that he was going to spend the night at a hotel and if I wanted to see him. So I went to meet him at the Waldorf Astoria ( FYI that hotel is crap!!!! They have an amazing locations and the foyer is gorgeous but the rooms where pathetic. I would rather stay at the W hotel) but that’s not the point of the story lol. Christian and I had a really nice night and we cuddled which is something I never really enjoyed because I would get too hot. ( his skin was really nice and cool so it made it easy) he was telling me in the morning that I sounded like a lion purring ( which is really code for I was snoring and keeping him up ) We had breakfast and walked around some more then he walked me home because I needed to pack for Las Vegas. This is the cute part of the story now ……..after I said goodbye we walked away but like a minute later we both looked back and made eye contact and it was just really really nice. I went to Las Vegas and was there a few days as you guys may know and then I later went to LA and I decided to send him a text message just to make sure he got home ok. Later that night he got messenger and we just started talking up a storm. Then he introduced me to skype and we started talking via skype. I didn’t think too much of it, but I did think it was special and cute. We spoke like every other day till I finally visited in March. It was just this amazing connection that I can’t describe.

Well I think I should give the past a little rest.
On a more current topic I went to go see “knowing” last night with my friends and lets just say that it’s the WORST MOVIE EVER MADE. I thought “Blindness” was bad but this one was way worse! The acting was horrific; the story line was crap. The only nice thing I could say is that the special effects were good but its hurts when I say that ….. Yuck!!!!!
Dennis your not allowed to pick any more movies from now on!!!!
You have been WARNED J

Hope all is well

Its been long OVER DUE

Wow I am not even sure where to begin... Its been over a year since I last posted a blog and let me tell you I HAVE MISSED IT!!!! I haven’t even looked at my blog. I feel really disappointed in myself for not writing because it used to bring me such joy. Especially if I was having a bad day I would just sit down look back and it would bring me back to a time where I was super happy and it would bring a smile to my face. Like I said once before this blog to me is like a journal of my life and I happen to share with the rest of the world. My writing isn’t the best and most creative…. My grammar and spelling sucks…and I don’t get super deep in my writing. Its usually just nonsense and crap, but its my crap and crap that I love. I speak about my nights out with friends at either a dinner or a party, or about my travel experience, and maybe about some movies I have seen. All these little stories give me something. Its gives me joy and laughter. It’s made me aware on how I have changed. I have changed a lot over the course of a year. I have met some amazing people. I have moved from New York City over to Sydney Australia. I work a full time job. I learned how to cook amazing meals. I fell in LOVE (Hench the move to Australia) .

It really is amazing what can happen in life. Never in my life did I ever imagine that I would leave New York. There is so much I want to talk about, but I have no idea where to begin. What I am thinking of doing is to start from the beginning. Start from right before I left New York and decided to leave to Sydney. I know that I am going to be missing a lot of details and I won’t possibly be able to capture the moment but I am going to try my best. My best guides to these moments are going to be the pictures that I have taken over the course of the year.

Attention readers…… A lot of this might not make sense and I might jump from one thing to the next but it all makes sense in my crazy head. I want to be as open and honest as possible but again there are something that I like to keep to myself and private. I wont be covering everything either. I think the purpose of all this is so that I can get back to my normal head space. To get back into a routine of what I used to do. More importantly I think it will help in the healing process. I am sure I am going to shed a lot of tears while writing this but I know that in 2 or 3 years I will look back and I will smile. (My eyes are watery now). Smile like I always have. I want to also thank all my friends for the support and love. You guys are truly amazing. Even from half across the world you guys still manage to put a smile on my face. I also want to thank all the wonderful people I have met here in Sydney. You guys rock!!!! I want to thank my mom for always sending me kisses via text message. (she doesn’t know I have a blog but I can still thank her). Even thou I am feeling tons of pain and I want to strangle him I want to Thank CT because without him I wouldn’t have known what it is to give up everything, become vulnerable and to love like I have never loved before. The feeling was amazing and still is to a degree. I haven’t forgiven CT yet and it can be a while before I do. HELL …. I haven’t forgiven myself yet!! But I want too and I know that overtime I will forgive both him and myself.

……Get readyzzz people Jonathan Vargas is back!!!!!! Well kinda … hehe

Hope all is well

Dinner and Mrs beckham

So me and my friends decided to have dinner last Friday at kenjie's house to have a home cooked meal. Its nice to hang out from time to time outside of the club. Usually we are confined in large but crowded space and its refreshing to actually nice to hear one another. Kenjie made a really nice cake and a spinish dip and Erika cooked her famous white chicken sauce lasagna. Everyone made a request for that dish. Its soooooo good. It was like 10 of us at kenjies and we were all laughing and shouting. We all ate like little piggy's that we could barely move. Erika had brought over monopoly for us to play but it ended up getting so late that we are saving it for our next dinner party. Also a few weeks back Victory Beckham was at Hiro dancing with the gays and I was able to take a quick picture with her. She seemed nice and was very pretty in person.
Anyway's I need to start packing soon. I am flying off to Texas and then I head over to Sydney for 2 weeks. I am sooooooooo excited

Hope all is well

The nice things in LA

So my trip in LA wasn't that horrible. Yes I did get drug and yes I did lose my phone but in the end nothing bad happened to me and I got my phone back yahooo. I was able to explore the city of LA a bit and was also able to stay in different areas. The first few nights in LA I spent it with Jason Ridge. I was supposed to stay with my friend Vinny but his BF had issues with me and was very nasty and Jason actually lived only 2 blocks over so he was nice enough to let me stay with him. In the morning Jason took me to breakfast and he showed me around the Hollywood hills. The other nights I stayed at my friends Elias place and he lived in Hollywood. He took me to this amazing Brazilian restaurant that I just loved. The last few nights i stayed in West Hollywood with my friend Ricardo. OMG Ricardo had a sick apt with a sick few of the hills. It was so nice. Also while I was there I met up with my German friend Frank who was in LA at the same time as I. Me and Frank drove over to Vince beach and took pictures of the water and houses. He was telling me how things were going for him in Germany and we just chilled and relaxed. We got to also experience LA traffic and let me tell you it is not cute. Anyway's I had a good time there and was happy to finally be on the west coast.

Hope all is well

LAS VEGAS

So here are a few pictures from some of the places I was at in LV. I met Erika friend Kiscka who took us to see Jubilee which is the longest running show in Las Vegas. It was actually a really good show and would recommend it. It has its cheesy moments and its has its cute moments. Also after watching the show you will have seen enough tits to last you a life time since a lot of the performers are top less. I also gambled for the first time and that was alot of fun. Erika won some crazy cash and she lost some. I played too and actually on my first game i won 80 dollars but i lost it all in the end. Luckily for me I didn't go crazy spending money just 100 bucks over the course of my whole trip in gambling.Anyhow if you are going to stay in Vegas Planet Hollywood is a great hotel and casino and I would think a lot of folks well love it too

Hope all is well

HB 2008 LV

Better Late then Ever I would say. I feel a little bad for not posting up any blogs lately but I just have been so busy with things here and there that I just completely back up. But here it is lol.
So the Hustlaball was held In Sin City. The lights, the shows, the boys were awesome. I was so excited to be there and to meet the other guys in the industry. I got to meet a lot of new people that were nice and alot of other people that were so standoffish. If there is one thing i hate and when people are standoffish. But other then that me and Erika had tons of fun. I also met a really cool guy name Michael and not only was he a Cutie but he was the aerialist for the event. and let me tell you he did an amazing job. HE is in the bttm pic with the forest green shirt. When he did his show everyone was staring and not just because he was ripped up. After the main party we went to a private party held at one of the suits in the plant Hollywood hotel. Little did i know it would end up being a Sex party. I stayed and watched a little I anit going to lie but I was a good boy. Besides i was feeling sleepy and dirty and yucky lol. oh I also got to meet the Tranny that was on my favorite show Nip/tuck. She hosted the event actually which was super cool.

Any how not sure what to mention plus I need to post up so much more
Hope all is well
