I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids

Hey hey everyone! For anyone who might have missed my mug around here, I’m just getting back from a self-imposed time out from the internet. Had way too much work to do and social media proved to be quite the distraction. That being said and out of the way, I hope everyone's week has been good. Any stellar plans for the weekend? I know I’ll be spending every second of mine on the beach, any beach. By the way, that’s an open invitation in case anyone is interested in tagging along.

  New guys? Absolutely not boring, that’s a delight! I’m Eve, it’s good to meet ya! I’m in Scotland, so where might you be?

Eve! It’s my pleasure. What are you doing all the way in Scottland? I’m in California, Long Beach at the moment.

I hung out with a few friends and tossed back some beers, not sure if that would fall under celebrating but it was a good time. That right? Where did you go to school? I’m teaching at Berkely currently as a visiting professor. I grew up here for the most part, but my family migrated here from Mexico a lot of years ago when I was still a youngster. And what’s Stockholm like? What brought you all the way out there? Work I assume? @cherisawarren

So exciting! He proposed to me and now we get married in the flowers of Holland! Everyone is invited to bring us presents.

Wow, I can say swimming with dolphins is something I’ve never done before. What’s it like? Would you do it again?

Hiya friends. Sorry I’ve been away. If you want to know why, I’m going to tell you. First we have to have a little talk though. Some of you might be familiar with it, others might not care, and others might have been affected by it personally. I’m talking about “Unicorn Hunting”. If you don’t know what that is, it generally starts on a dating app intended for LGBTQ women. It essentially when a woman is ‘tricked’ or ‘hunted’ into becoming a third for most often a heterosexual couple. 

It usually starts with a woman harmlessly flirting with another and it can go on for MONTHS before “surprise” she has a boyfriend that she’d love to introduce. This is harmful to both bisexual and homosexual women. Not all of us are interested in a threesome, and were really starting to see something great in the beginnings of a relationship. Some of us just want a monogamous relationship and some of us aren’t into men. At. All.  Then we get painted as the villains when we get upset over this. Not cool. Needless to say, all dating apps are being erased from my phone.

[adrianblnc]

You’re educating me here, never heard of such a thing. You’re giving up on apps though? Must have been a really bad experience for you. Sorry, that happened.

  YOU’RE IN CALI TOO!!! How great! What do you mean you’ve been all over the place? I’m a veterinarian at the San Diego Zoo… that’s the real thing. I work a lot. Probably too much. Let’s not worry about that, though. I like adventures too, I free climb a lot for fun. I paddle board, and kayak, and all this fun stuff. You could say I’m a big time adrenaline junkie. What about you? What sorts of things do you do? And also, did you want to hang out at the beach? Because beach adventures are still on the table!

Right now I’m Berkely as a visiting lecturer but I travel a lot for my main job too is what I meant! Veterinarian?  Really? Tell me more about that!  Who’s your inspiration there, I mean how did you become interested or even know this is what you wanted to be in life? How come not worry about it? It’s a lot of work, huh? 

I like to do all of the above but I could just as easily chill out, read a book in a day at the coffee shop or something boring like that. Yea sure, we could hang out sometime. Which beach are you thinking about and when are you free?

   Hi Adrian! Are you new too? I’m Olivia!

Hey Olivia, I’m pretty new, yes! Where are you located?

[adrianblnc]

[adrianblnc]

  Just your name isn’t a lot to go on.

That might have been intentional, haha!  What’s your name and what would you like to know?

[adrianblnc]

cherisawarren‌:

  Hello and welcome, Adrian. I’m doing okay, and how are you? Where in the world are you joining us from?

Hello, and thanks a lot for the welcome. Just okay? How was your holiday weekend? Do anything special? I’m in California, near San Francisco Bay. How about yourself?

[adrianblnc]

olivia-linh-vo‌:

  Hi Adrian! Are you new too? I’m Olivia!

Hey, Olivia. Nice to meet you! Yes, I’m probably the newest of the newbies. Has your experience been everything you hoped so far? I’m still making the rounds myself, I feel like I haven’t made a dent in all the people here.

[adrianblnc]

I'll try and make this quick and painless, try not to bore ya out there, wherever you are in the world. So, I’ll get straight to it!  I’m Adrian, how ya doin?

  New Zealand? What should I expect to find in New Zealand? I don’t know much about what they would have to offer me. Is this going to require me to camp out in a tent and trudge around in nature?

Honestly, that’s exactly what I would do. I take it backpacking, camping out and such ain’t your thing?

Oooh, tell me more! What all have you been working on? I’m Lucie, by the way. Lately I’ve been working on comics, but traditionally painting/sketching/media arts. Thanks! 

Well, this summer I’m working on a study abroad project. I’m taking a group of students to Brazil to make what we call sustainable art.  Hey Lucie, good to meet you. Comics? Now that’s interesting. Anything I might be familiar with, or even better,  have some examples of your work I can check out?

  Haha! I certainly try! But I swear I sound so much more exciting than I am! I live in San Diego now, but I’m willing to visit another beach if need be! Where in the world are you? Oh! And I’m Madeleine… Maddie… or whatever you’d like to call me! What’s your name?

There are too many, plenty of good ones in Cali for sure. Home base is in San Francisco for now but I’ve been doing a bit of couch surfing, I’m all over the place. Nice to meet you, Maddy.  So what do you outside of the beach life?

[erolcetinkcya]

I’ve never been one to be good at introductions, so hello, I’m Erol. I’m headed back home and it’s a longer trip with some stops along the way. Anyone up for a meal or a drink somewhere? I’m definitely going to need to stretch my legs and a break.

[adrianblnc]

Where’s home and what stops along the way do you plan on making? I’m always down to eat, even better if ya want to throw in a few drinks. Adrian, fellow new guy here. Good to meet you Erol.

I’m back in LA working on a new video for my channel, but we low-key look like we’re posing for some sort of superlative in a 90s high school year book!  I think when I was in school I got “most artistic.” I think I’d give myself “best hair” or “most likely to get away with something” instead! What superlative would you give yourself? 

[adrianblnc]

I’m gonna go with, Best Grind. I ain’t gonna lie, I been a machine lately. What kind of art are you into? Assuming that you still are I mean. Also, nice hair. You’d get my vote there too.
