As I think I have mentioned before, I live with 2 gay guys. One of them is an amazing drag queen. He does performances, usually 3-5 minute dances in full out drag. Being as sheltered as I am, I am absolutely blown away by the depth and strict details involved in becoming a good drag queen.
Tonight is Nate's drag competition, at DAF in Delray.
Here is the catch: not only does he adequately make himself look like a woman....he looks really good as a woman.
I have come a long ways in the last year, coming out of my shell and being more open minded and less judgemental of people that are different from me. I now support my roomate and think what he does is AWESOME.
Just because I am not homosexual, does not mean I can't be proud of my roomate, who is.
A bunch of the people I work with are going to show up and support Nate tonight. I am proud to say I can do something outside of the box for me. If anyone wants to come and watch, it's at DAF at 8 pm.

Easter Sunday
I call my blog, Jon Bates: The Adventures...but sometimes I wonder why. I lead a pretty boring life. I love my job, it provides just about the only excitement in my life. The people I work with are absolutely hilarious. Some of the conversations we have are ridiculous, and politically incorrect.
Today, on Easter Sunday, I feel I should write about the love of Jesus Christ, and about the unthinkable gift He gave us by dying on the cross for each one of us. I, along with many many people across the world, cannot grasp the significance of this act. Without God giving Jesus to the cross, we would not be anything but doomed for hell, for we are imperfect creatures.
I miss my family sometimes. Especially on days that the entire family spends together, like Easter or Christmas. I had to work all day today, but my mind was with my family and my amazing girlfriend and her family. I spent the last 3-4 major holidays up in Titusville, FL with her and her family.
I am so thankful to have 2 different families to spend holidays with, that actually want me there. It's unreal. Last year at this time, I was in drug rehab. This year, I have over a year clean and sober, a fantastic relationship with my parents, I live in a house, work full time to pay for my own bills, and a PERFECT woman that makes me feel like a real good man.
Can life get much better?

I am not very handy
So I bought a desk tonight for my bedroom. I got it from Walmarts. It came in a tiny box, with a trillion pieces of wood and tons of screws and bolts.
Historically, I have never been a very handy guy, I suck at building anything...even legos. So after my roomate and I gave it a shot for about an hour, I realized that we pretty much butchered this desk.
I then proceeded to call my friend Jon, who is extremely good with his hands...he is an electrician by trade. He laughs at me and says "it should have directions JB". And he was right, it does have directions in the box, but I tried using them and still failed.
I wish I would have called him before I attempted to build the desk, I'm hoping that I did not do too much damage to the point where Jon cannot fix it.
HAHA...I suck. Everyone laugh at me, I know I did.
