I wonder if VA would consider Miami & Key West, Florida. I hear that all of the dance clubs (straight & LGBT) down there are excellent.

Well, I'm a secretary. So if you've got me a job somewhere that pays decent money and an affordable apartment in a safe neighborhood that I don't have to scratch and pinch every penny to pay for, I'll start packing. And remember, I don't have no wife to split the bills and I do not do roommates.
My apartment is a one bedroom townhouse in a fairly safe neighborhood in a town five minutes away from Jackson for $495 a month which it takes every dime I make to pay for. Now, top that. I can't even afford to live in a safe area of town within the Jackson city limits and you think I'm gonna just pack up and leave like a damn fool to some other city with no job and no place to stay? When the money fairy starts passing out free money, I'll be the first in lihe and the first one the hell out of Mississippi. But the money fairy doesn't exist.
Hell, that's like asking somebody who just totalled out an old hooptie car why they don't just run out and buy a new Mercedes.

That's about the cheapest rent you're gonna find anywhere for a one bedroom townhouse in the ole US of A these days.

He can still go there for a weekend visit.
I live paycheck to paycheck. Throwing away money on a trip somewhere would be spending my rent money which would make me homeless when I got back. When I rarely take "vacation" days at work, it basically means I stay home from work that day.
On the rare times that I do have extra money, I spend it on an item that I want but could normally not afford such as a computer or a piece of stereo equipment. Something that I would own and get years of enjoyment out of instead of a trip that I would only have a "memory" of later.
I don't have cable and I've never owned a cell phone and don't want a cell phone. The only extra "luxury" bill I have is internet. And that's because I'm getting a one year trial of high speed internet from AT&T for $20 a month. After the year is up, it goes up to full price and I thought about cancelling it but now I'm considering keeping it because it's something I actually enjoy. But full price for high speed internet, $45 a month, is definitely too damn expensive. Hell, that's more than my phone bill.

There's cheaper rent in the shotgun houses in some of the roughest ghettos of Jackson but I value my material possessions and also my life. They would kill my white gay ass and take all my stuff in the process. And the only other option is the trailer parks and I don't do trailers. Plus, I wouldn't feel much safer around those rednecks either.

$495 a month for a ONE bedroom apartment?!? What a freaking rip-off! Any one bedroom apartment that is higher than $399 in Mississippi, Louisiana, OR Alabama is overpaid and overrated. My studio apartment here in Arkansas is only $325/monthly & the one bedroom apartment at a few of the other building is only $375.
With $495/monthy, you might a well moved to Florida for real. At least that state has an excuse for being pricey; They have the vacation resorts!

Cell phones are better deals than old-fashioned land line phone. I have a very affordable AT&T Go Phone, which I brought 2 years ago for $50 (as of 2011, it's now $40). But I only reload within $15 to $25/monthy for new minutes. All phone calls between 2 AT&T customers are free throughout, that alone is the best deal.

Look up apartments on the internet for the Jackson area. You'll rarely find anything under $500 in a safe area of town (remember, "safe" is the key word here) and the apartments I live in are considered "low class" to a lot of people. For a "middle class" apartment, you'll spend at least $700 or more, which there's absolutely no way possible I could afford.
I live in the one bedroom townhouse. They had some one bedroom flats available for $470 a month but for $20 more a month, I went ahead and got the townhouse. I've got too much furniture for the efficiency apartments which were $399 a month. I considered one but they didn't have one available. Plus, all of them are upstairs and I'm scared as hell of that outdoor railing they have. I'm extremely tall and it doesn't seem tall enough for me to be comfortable standing up next to.

I need a land line for my internet and I be damned if I pay for a house phone and a cell phone. Plus, I don't want a cell phone. Those damn things are so little, I can barely hear someone through them. Plus, there are times I don't want to be found by people. If I don't feel like speaking with someone, with a house phone, I just throw my answer machine on and if they ask me about it later, I simply tell them I wasn't home. If I had a cell phone, I would have no excuse for not answering their call because a cell phone can go with you everywhere you go. I never have liked cell phones. I would feel like I was being monitored all the time and could never escape people I didn't want to talk to.

But there is a great excuse.
I keep my cell turn-off during the day when I'm at work. Or even if my cell is on during my off hours, I have Voicemail for callers to leave a message just like a digital answer machine. All cells included caller ID, so if I don't know anything about certain phone numbers (especially those "unknown") I would NEVER answer the cell anyway!
After reading & listening to your opening post VA, I must say that the straight AND gay clubs sound exactly alike.......for THE worst!
A few years ago, my then-girlfriend actually took me to an all black club in Monroe, Louisiana. And that club was playing the same damn Soulja Boy-inspired music.
After about 20 minutes of that crap, I've successful convince her to take us to a racially mix club (owned by white folks). That place was an improvement, since the DJ played a good mix of 70's, 80's, 90's, & 2000's music. Granted, a few shit-hop were played here and there. But at least it was "good shit-hop" by Snoop Dogg, The Hot Boyz, & Master P/No Limit All-Stars and not freaking wack ass Soulja Boy!
Oh, you ain't lying about that. The majority of the older black gay people in my area go to one of the white clubs. There's a lot of bullshit played in there also but at least there's a little bit more variety. The music for the dancefloor is usually that damn trance and a little shit hop but the drag shows have more variety. Every blue moon, somebody comes out and does something entertaining like this old whore in this video. That old bitch may be confined to a walker but she's determined she's gonna shake some ass.....
Trade is a closet bisexual man who lives in denial. They are attracted to women but they will get their dick sucked by another man and will also fuck another man. Even though they are participating in a homosexual act, in their mind, they think they are straight because they aren't the ones doing the sucking or the ones getting penetrated. They see it as "an orgasm is an orgasm whether it comes from a man or woman and since I'm attracted to women, then I must be straight". They refuse to accept that they are even so much as bisexual. They are the worst gay bashers on the planet. They hate gay men but they love the pleasure that they can give them. And since they think they are straight, then they also think a gay man owes them something if they want to sleep with a "straight man". Sexual encounters with trade usually are fine, if you can tolerate them thinking they are straight, which I can't. But they also can be dangerous and sometimes deadly because these men think they are all that, "straight", and that we owe them something if we want to sleep with them.
I've been in many dangerous encounters in my younger days when I first came out and was just discovering what they were and I've been in two or three life threatening encounters also. Nowadays, I consider them as gutter trash and I hate the ground they walk on. I've many a friend and acquaintance that hasn't been so lucky with trade though and they paid with their life.
Reminds me of that old Stephanie Mills song, "Rough Trade".
"When there's no moon in sight, Doobley gets an appetite For tender young things Like lion stalks when girls for their walks They become his prey
Didnt they warn you, your mother should have told you Never mess around with rough trade Didnt they warn you, your mother should have told you Bad boys will steal your heart away and take you to the break Doobley is a bad boy Hes just rough trade Doobley is a bad boy Doobley is a bad boy"
