Spring into Life

Latino Boy has been rather good for me. He is a pretty boy. But since he is only 20 years old, we can go to restaurants but we never have alcohol and we can’t go clubbing either. So I’ve been missing the club for the past month or so. But interestingly enough, there are others upsides to Latino boy who has a zest for Hindi movies and I am seeing a lot more Hindi movies in the last week that I have this whole year. His pronunciation of Hindi words is adorable and makes me smile every time. He is in school and also works about 25 hours and so we don’t really have much time other than a few evenings a week. We spend most of our time at my place, watching movies or going out to eat and then getting home. I want to go out during weekend days but I can’t. I just hang out with friends while he works.

LordOfHearts called me up, Sunday afternoon. He was coming back to town from the BigCity after a fight with EternalGirlFriend about whether to have sex in the night or in the morning. I take it that it was kind of a minor argument since he didn’t seem particularly disturbed by it or anything. So we went out with the top down on his convertible smelling the smells of the countryside. Yes, I do mean the smell of cows here. Yes, I mean the smell of cow dung really. But also, flowers, cool breeze and green mountains. But anyways, convertible was fun for the most part. We went out to this state park about an hours drive away which I really love and spend a lot of time by myself every summer. But we had taken a lot o stuff to eat and we had this great discussion about how I love renaissance art and mainly revolving around the gay theme of Ganymede and how he enamoured Zeus. Then we talked about homosexuality and what Socrates and Plato thought of it and where the word platonic comes from. Apparently, Plato considered love for a man really quite supreme but he said that sex would spoil its beauty and hence the word platonic. It helps to realize that he also thought that sex was meant only for procreation. He considered love and sex in completely different lights.

My friend TheRock is getting married this month and is going to India for a month. His fiancé of two years is going to get back and I can’t help but wonder if our relationship will remain the same. I have been musing on the dynamic between him and me for a few days now. It’s completely platonic but I really do like the guy. Somewhat like my brother. Things are mostly left unspoken but neither of us is a complainer and so we get along great and like to spend time with each other. We have very similar backgrounds and hence share a whole deal of similar likes and dislikes. And yet we are so different. I hope he is one of those people that I remain friends with for my whole lifetime.

I also recently came across this website that has stories of the “Vikram Aur betal” on the net and read it. It has been nice to refresh memories of those. I have always like the little stories from Jataka tales or Panchatantra but some of those are meant for kids but “Vikram Aur Betal” was something that I wasn’t really bored of reading. I was glad to have refreshed my memory.

Coming back to Latino boy, I really need to talk to him about what exactly we are doing together. Its not that I am looking for a very long term future but I have always felt that if something doesn’t have a future then I have no interest in doing it further since I feel that its is sort of pointless. So at least I need to talk to him and ascertain that we are doing OK for now being with each other. I am sort of undecided on this because I don’t want to talk about something and over examine it and ruin it but I have to be true to myself and if something seems pointless to me then I need to end it soon. So I’ll let you guys know how it’s going.

Mood: Life is going dashingly well. I have reached a state that I am happy with myself. Just that simple fact is enough reason for me to smile.
