Best Gay Blog 11

Joseph is a 30 year old from Atlanta (born in Southern California) whose boyfriend BJ is the owner of another great blog, Sodomy Creek. He describes his interests as Politics, Technology, Science Fiction, and of course sex. Joseph’s blog is very well organized and easy to find what interests you. He has quite a bit of experience in the blogging world after all, as he started his own on May 8, 1996 when he was still in California. He has been sharing tidbits of his life with us ever since (with a few blips of snow on the radar). The meat of the content really began in 1999 when his sense of discovery and freedom took him on a road trip across America which led him to meet BJ in Atlanta. After that meeting (and having sex every night they were initially together), he was hooked. He is a romantic who shared about sending CD’s, love letters, and thoughts of kidnapping BJ with his readers.

Monotonous dot net is not the average looking blog. It has a simple, but effective design with a great search engine to find anything you want. Be specific, though, since the word “sex” will bring up almost every entry.

You can’t help but be drawn to the sexy photo he found on Live Journal glaring on the left side of his banner. Joseph shares numerous other photos through his site including some other great hunks, pictures of himself and friends, gay art and even a gator photo.

Joseph shares some intimate and private thoughts with his readers as well. For instance he gives us insight into his initial fears and concerns about moving in with BJ, “Last night, BJ gave me a letter, saying that I had taken his heart from him, and to be careful with it. I realized after he kept saying that I had his heart that he was trying to say that he loved me (at least this is my interpretation). Even so, I was scared to say “I love you.” It’s such a strong declaration and can’t be taken back. What would I be signing onto? Once you tell someone you love them, I think you owe them more than you did before. Besides that, there was still a major possibility of being rejected or having him think all of this was going too fast.” Joseph is able to take us through various stages of his life by talking about his current life in one entry and then bringing us back to a memory from his younger “cruisier” days in the next.

Joseph shares some of the simple things in life such as books he’s read (he’s a John C. Wright fan), movies he has seen (or is yet to see like The Godfather) and even the sensitive subject of death.
