A conversation this weekend has helped me to think through some of the priorities in my life. As regular OYGA readers have no doubt noticed, my posts lately, though relatively consistent, have been severely lacking in any creative content besides the daily eye candy.
This has been unavoidable, as my life lately has been rather crazy, particularly with my job in a company that is in a tailspin it is unlikely to recover from. Consequently, I am trying to balance the demands of a very full-time job with the fairly-urgent need to find a new job in a more stable situation.
As a smart friend reminded me this weekend, I need to make sure I am dedicating the maximum amount of effort possible to my occupation situation and not allow myself to use other things (such as blogging) to be used as an escape from the stress I have been under for far too long. For, when I spend my time on things less important, I ultimately only will increase my stress and delay its resolve.
So, today OYGA is going on an indefinite hiatus. Although I have every intent to return to blogging at some point, I cannot today tell you at what point that will be. I will keep the blog up, and perhaps I will be able to give an update along the way. But at this point, I don't plan to post again until my job situation has settled down and I am comfortably-settled into whatever new opportunity awaits.
Thanks to all who have been so kind in your comments and visits. I do hope that I will be back here again soon....keep checking!
And, as a parting gift to you, thanks to the great work of the folks at Blogger and Picasa, you can see 1,000 of the photos I have posted on OYGA in photo albums on Picasa by clicking on the picture below. Enjoy!

Thursday
Ever find a picture of a guy who just captures your attention? This first guy has such a warm and inviting smile, definitely a nice way to brighten this Thursday morning!

Skinny
Here are some guys who remind us that being a muscle-bound hunk is definitely not the end-all definition of beauty!

Time Traveling
It's actually a couple minutes past midnight, but fortunately Blogger lets me set the post time for whenever I want, so this can still count as Tuesday's post....

Confrontation, Humility, and Forgiveness
Well, just as I make the comment that I almost never post YouTube clips on this blog, sure enough today I find another one that I can't overlook posting. Both yesterday's and today's clips are worth your time to watch (and fairly brief, so it's not a major commitment!). But while yesterday's was purely entertainment, today's has value beyond just diversion.
Regular OYGA readers may recall this post from last December in which I talked about Rosie O'Donnell's insulting "ching chong" comments on The View. Well, it took a while, but someone finally got through to her. Poet Beau Sia created the video you see here, and honestly I cannot imagine someone coming anywhere close to being as dead-on perfect in response as he is here. Firm, direct, confrontational, measured and unyielding--yet with an offer of forgiveness and the possibility of reconciliation.
And effective.
Because Rosie finally offered that apology that should have come months ago. And, from what it appears on her blog, the apology was sincerely given. So high praise for Beau Sia and a measure of respect for Rosie for responding as she should. Let's hope the lesson is long-lasting.
And now, on to the main attraction.....

Holding Out An Olive Branch to Homophobes
Well, George Takei (a.k.a. Sulu on Star Trek) may have waited til later in life to come out, but he certainly is enjoying the freedom now! He was the grand marshal at the Gay Pride Parade here in Chicago last summer and was obviously enjoying all the attention. The clip above is hilarious....Takei recorded a "public service announcement" in response to NBA player Tim Hardaway's recent homophobic comments. I try not to use YouTube clips too often on the blog, since they can easily become a substitute for originality, but this one made me chuckle, and we could all use an extra laugh today, so enjoy!
And, of course, pictures for you (isn't this guy in the red shirt the most adorable guy ever?)....

OYGA Oscars
I love the Oscars. And I have to say I enjoyed this year much more than last. Ellen was fabulous, and there were very few awards I disagreed with (though Dreamgirls was robbed by Melissa Etheridge for Best Song, and I was kinda rooting for a Little Miss Sunshine upset for Best Picture). Many many more compliments than criticisms overall, however.
So, as all the stars sleep off their post-Oscar hangovers, I give you OYGA's awards for a number of Asian guys who have achieved great heights of hotness. I'm not certain what to call the awards, since "Oscar" is already taken. Maybe Peter? Or Dick? Whatever we call it, I am sure each nominee will be deeply honored for the recognition.
And for those who win, send me an e-mail, and I will give you directions to my bedroom house, where I will be glad to personally present the award to you. And here they are...the first-ever OYGA Oscars (and yes, they're not gonna be quite as traditional of categories as you would find in Hollywood)....

Hot But Not Bothered
With guys as hot as these, it's no wonder some believe we have a global warming problem...

A Note for Justin
Hey Justin,
I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know that I brought sexy back. Thanks for loaning it to me. I put it back in the second floor closet next to your board games as you asked.
I went downtown today and definitely caused quite a stir. Unfortunately, those other boys just simply do not know how to act. But there was one young guy there who impressed me. Walking right up to me (as I attempted to nonchalantly hide sexy behind me), he whispers. "I think it's special...what's behind your back." Next thing I know, I've turned around and he "picked up the slack" (if you know what I mean).
- Lance
P.S. - Next time come along yourself...VIP, drinks on me.
Dirty Babe...
You see these shackles, baby, I'm your slave....
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave...
It's just that no one makes me feel this way...
