Of course we were all excited to meet hottie Anderson Cooper and he was so laid back and cool, which I have to say was unexpected and a pleasant surprise. I was NOT excited about such a big crowd (I'm small so I get stepped on a lot) and was terrified of getting lost or separated from the rest of Team Griffin, but Tiff made sure to keep a close eye on me. We were joking that she should've had me on a leash like how parents do with their kids.
Anyway, as the night began, the excitement...]]>
It’s fun being on the road with Kathy. It’s like hanging out with my buddies when I was fourteen or fifteen years old. She is comedy, and I am a huge fan of comedy. Our relationship is is probably more like brother-sister. I would say brother-brother, but I guess that’d be a little weird cause she’s a lady.
Before I even met Kathy, I loved comedy. Kathy and I willl sit and talk about music and old comedy together. I love that given that I’m a certain age, I can appreciate some of the things that she talks about. Jessica and Tiffany are a little young and don’t know who certain people are, like Don Rickels. Kathy and I can trade Don Rickels fodder back and forth.

Could I ever see myself with Kathy? Well, I just want to see myself with anybody -- at some point....]]>
For my second time, I went with my parents and a church group. I basically went because it meant a free ticket to Italy. Because I was with a church group we saw all of the famous churches and historical landmarks in Florence, which was great.
Let's just say that with Kathy it was a completely different experience. We may not have seen many churches, but you know, we attempted to find the gayest bar ever. Replace Dante's tomb with boys' night. Yes, it was definitely different.

Our recent visit to the Arizona State Prison Complex in Perryville was an eye opener, to say the least. It was both intense and nerve-racking. As I walked around that prison, I knew we were safe...but I wasn’t comfortable.
It’s difficult to be hopeful for the prisoners, simply because they’re in prison. I mean, I hope they get out someday, but for now they’re stuck there. I’m not sure what a lot of those people did to get there, but they’re serving their time, so...
At the end of the day, I felt kind of like ‘thank God'. I get to go out, go to a restaurant, go to bed, and do whatever it is I need to do. It led me to reflect on what’s important to me and to acknowledge what I’m most passionate about in life.

What a strange and morbid question.........Hmmmm, her Chanel coats?
2. What did you give Kathy for her birthday?
Free dog/house-sitting coupons for when she tours and chocolate covered strawberries I think. For Xmas I got her Oprah's DVD and she recently went through her collection and got rid of most of her DVD's but I saw she kept that one. I felt special.

I don't actually know....I should look into that!
4. What do you do when you’re not with Kathy?
Sleep, go to the gym, hang out with my cats, dinner with friends, read, art, occasionally see a movie or go dancing, watch TV. The normal stuff anyone does in their spare time I would think. I've recently re-discovered yoga, meditation and massages. I'm very into self-discovery and therapy in every sense...]]>
Well believe it or not, I met Jessica on MySpace. Yes, MySpace!! I was randomly clicking on people's profiles when I came across Jessica's. I sent her a message asking about being a personal assistant in the entertainment business because I always wondered how people got those jobs. I guess it was good timing because they were looking for another assistant at the time.
Next week I came to the house for a trial day. I met Kathy for the first time after picking her up at the airport. We all clicked really well, so she offered me the job a week after I graduated college.
2) What do you want Kathy to leave you when she dies?

Kathy asked me once if I’m into porn, and I just honestly said, "As much as the next guy..."
Like I told Kathy when she first hired me, I'm into porn no more or less than the average male. Note to job seekers: "DON'T SAY THIS TO YOUR PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYER."
Of course Kathy found my porn and pulled it out while the cameras were rolling. And then she laughed…disgustedly. (Oh, and Kathy also makes assumptions about why my showers are so long. Let me just say that a man has needs.)
I might as well just put it all out there now...
__MTPAGINATE_PAGE_BREAK__
I don’t think I’m necessarily into porn. It's just that if it's there and I have nothing else to do I’ll look at it. Whatever’s lying around, I’ll peruse it. I wouldn’t limit myself to just one type of porn because I like many...]]>
I’m not a lesbian. I’m saying that right now. It just started off with a potential, and now Kathy calls me a ‘fakey dyke’.

Here’s the truth about what happened...
The story is that I met a girl, Heather, on mySpace who I thought was semi-cute and was flirting with me and that was basically it. I told Kathy about it and she made it into this big thing like I was a lesbian. She started talking about my potential lesbian tendencies on stage and then it turned into this whole snowball, which is gonna kill my grandmother.
I never met Heather in real life. We spoke on the phone a little bit but I don’t like to talk on the phone that much so we would instant message each other. And she happened to be a cute girl. You get girl crushes sometimes and that’s all it was. Now, of course, it’s...]]>
