Sweat! Sweeeaaaat!

Matthew: you know maybe it's time for people to make more songs like "The Power"
I'm going to write a letter to Basement Jaxx, hold on
me: hahahaha
That should be the sound of the next Justin Timberlake album
me: Timberlake & Timbaland all interviewing at MTV News, "We were in Missy's car and we found out the only thing she had in her CD booklet was C+C Music Factory bootlegs..."
Matthew: ha
underground extended remixes of C&C deep cuts
me: exactly
all from Holland
every single one from Holland

Matthew: isn't your porn name more like Chris Cockroy or something
me: Trey Mendez-Cox
Matthew: ha
how did you arrive at Mendez
me: Say it aloud, dude
Matthew: I did pick up on it
OH
hahah
I see
me: The joke would be that I took my first wife Courtney's name
I would never refer to her by name
"Yeah, I met her at this music-video shoot. It was great while it lasted, but she just wasn't cut out for the life, so we kinda parted ways. She's with some comedian now, he's much better for her"
Matthew: maybe it's time to consider gay porn as a job
me: I literally just had a conversation about this ten minutes ago
Though it was more in the prostitution context
Matthew: if things got bad you could do "straight for pay"
me: i.e. it's time to start charging ugly guys to blow me
that could really shore up the cracks in my budget
Matthew: it's true
but you know
dignity is nice
me: i guess so. i could make them wear a bag on their heads.
some guys are into that.
Matthew: well, I mean, your dignity.
me: not having to see them helps with my dignity.

I still haven't done my taxes, shut up

Andrew's Status Message: Getting fucked by the IRS, without poppers
me: ok, so I read your status message and started wondering how big the IRS' dick is
it seems more natural for it to be small
y'know, pencil-necked accountants, etc.
but anecdotal evidence would indicate that they fuck people REALLY hard
Andrew: NY is actually a total bottom who is giving me (not very good) head. the US IRS, meanwhile, has an average dick but isn't very good with it and is fucking me without poppers or lube.
me: The federal government is just going to give me a quick, teasing poke with the tip alone.
NY is leering at me from across the room and grabbing its crotch, and so far I have no idea what that means.
Andrew: lol
