I'm leaving on a jetplane, who knows when I'll be back again...

I'm launching on a new adventure, conquering Europe. Back to the roots I go, to discover the UK, see what's in, look for Mr. Right in the land of Shakespeare, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery, and David Beckham... Look for more first dates, funny and not-so-funny stories, and celebrity sightings...

All about Adelina - Thaqi, that is

Friday, September 12, 2008

Ever since Adelina Thaqi managed to get to my iPod playlist, her songs have always made their way into any mix I made - Je Vetem Ti (Only You) , Nje Here Ne Jete (Once in a Lifetime), S'mundem Me (I can't do it Anymore) , and then, more recently, Me Do Mua (Love me) and Kontrast, have left me thinking how much more creative this girl can get.

The daughter of Rasim Thaqi, a Kosovar comedian known as Cima and a favourite of any slapstick comedy fans, Adelina turned out to be nothing like him. She most recently won the Bruna Spiler Music Contest for singers from the Balkans when she performed arias from some prominent operas.

I was just listening to her song, Sonte (Tonight), which I love. I'm less fond of the Latin American soap opera clothes she's wearing in the video [below].

Gay in Kosova - Muslim in North America - Gay Muslim in North America???

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

I recently joined Gay Romeo after reading about it on the Gay Universe pages of Kosova.

First of all, I'm depressed when I read Gay Universe pages - while it's great that Kosovar gay men love sex, it's a little sad when that's all they want out of a guy.

I speak from a perspective of privilege, thousands of miles away from the epicenter, where it all happens, so I have a certain freedom to criticize, which, one could argue, is not fair or just. In a sense, whoever thinks that is right because I am not putting my life at risk by writing about men who do.

I am also not in a situation where being labeled as gay in the community will mean the failure of my life, career, and whatever else I hold dear for my future.

Now that that disclaimer is out of the way, I can keep going with my story. I created a profile on Gay Romeo primarily because I wanted to talk to a fellow gay Kosovar. I did talk to a few, and quickly realized they were all in it for a quick fix of "you do me, i'll do you, we'll all be happy." They were, in fact, so horny that talking about anything else would have been pointless: What were the things I was asked?

[In respective order]

A-Where am I now?
B-Do I have a photo of my body?
C-Do I have a cam?
D-Where do I live that I don't have a cam?

Answering these questions honestly meant that neither one of these men wanted to keep in touch - So I'm left wondering once again if all the men on this page I was lucky to find are in fact, looking for S-E-X.

Time will tell. Until then, I'll read articles on the web about the efforts of the Catholic Church/Muslim Community/ Orthodox Church in Kosova to rid Kosovar gay men's right to marry. Unfair.
