Inspiration

It's not easy being right all the time, even though someone has to beCause feelings can be undermined, usually that someone turns out to be me

These past few days I've lost my inspiration to write. My brain isn't functioning at all and I seem to lose my train of thoughts easily. Not being able to put actual thought into words, I decided to get inspired by working at the Petrol & Oil Exhibition as well as attend this event called Suits & Ties @ the attic alone.

At the event I bumped into one of my ex's friend; Adam (not his real name) said hello and asked me what I was doing there. Being a hypo maniac and ashamed of why I was really there I blurted out that I was thinking of doing a review for the attic; which is partially true, since one of my ideas a couple of days ago was writing reviews for various places to go. So I spent the whole night sitting outside, sweating profusely and feeling like an outsider when I overheard a conversation from Adam and his friends. The conversation (I feel bad for listening but I had practically nothing to do) went somewhere between drugs like cocaine and Special K (ketamine) to invitation to sex parties.

As much as I love sex, I rather not get into the messy act of sex parties and orgies. I'm not a saint but the thought of consuming drugs just to get a high and having sex with tens of men in a hotel room is sickening to the bone.

A question came to me during cigarettes and the incessant sip of my Whiskey Sour to cool the harsh hot weather; when did this trend of sex and drugs happen?

That's when it hit me, how Queer as Folk portrayed and inspired the lives of other gay men. I stood up from my chair and looked into the room full of pretentious gay men and wondered how many of them succumbed to the glamourous lifestyle of wanting to be rich and famous as well as consume party drugs and attend events held at hotel rooms consisting of various sexual acts with different men. Not to mention having the body of an Adonis to top it off. I felt like crap in the bar, I felt more myself when I left it.

Note to readers: the attic is located at 61-2 Jln Bangkung, Bkt Bandaraya, Bangsar. Entering the world of chic, the walls are decorated with paintings with splashes of colours (I didn't get a chance to see the paintings up close) and ultra hip furniture. The bar is very art deco and serves killer Lychee Martinis and Long Islands; it's a great place to chill out and have a drink. Check out the various events held at the attic @ [Click Here]
