This Is What Comes Out of My Boredom.......

I am so bored. I can't even describe the depths of my boredom to you my reading public so I'm going to write a story. Actually I've already started to write it, and maybe it sucks. Maybe it is stupid or maybe it is a future bestseller, but at the moment it just me entertaining myself. So here is a little tidbit of it.....

Once upon a time there was a boy named Trevor. Trevor was twenty-five years old, lived in New York City, worked in a thrift shop on Bleeker Street and was trying to find his voice as a writer.

Oh..........and he was gay.

There was another boy. His name was Matthew. Matthew was twenty-seven years old, lived in New York City, and was a wildly successful free lance graphic designer.

Oh.............and he was gay too.

Matthew lived a charmed life. There wasn't anything that didn't come natural to him. Trevor, on the other hand, couldn't walk down the sidewalk without tripping. Trevor's life was a series of calamities and disasters while Matthew followed a path of lucky pennies and fortuitous circumstances.

Matthew told his mother at sixteen years old that he was gay, and refused to allow anything but acceptance. He introduced her to all of his boyfriends. Trevor, on the other hand, had no desire to open up to his family. Occasionally he would bring home a girl and without out right saying it allude to the fact that she was his girlfriend. It was a Superman/Clark Kent situation. When at home he was Clark Kent, and while living his life in NYC he was Superman. But the glasses that he wore to disguise his true identity weren't very effective. Most people questioned how anyone could believe that Trevor had a girlfriend, let alone that he was straight.

On paper Trevor and Matthew are a match made in hell, but sometimes people who should be the worst together are the best. There is a reason that Paula Abdul's song, Opposites Attract, is an enduring hit. It speaks to the truth of matters of the heart. Whether you be a woman and a cartoon cat forever condemned to only be together on the blue screen or two gay men in varying degrees of being out causing confusion and pandemonium you never know what two people are going to be drawn together.
