Crossroads Goes Private


Well guys, I had hoped the day would never come. I had hoped that my thoughts and pictures could be shared with anyone interested in hearing and viewing them but I've been getting too many warnings and wake up calls lately. While nothing has happened to jeopardize my career or identity at the moment, I've been getting a lot of anonymous queries and warnings from my closest friends that have raised some red flags and made me become a little more cautious. Moreover, I'm starting to get tired of using gender neutral pronouns and constantly sensoring what I say in my blog "just in case" Big Brother is watching. I mean, I should be able to say I'm gay in my own freakin' journal if I want to, right?

So here's how this will work. Everytime I update my blog you'll get an e-mail from me just as before. Only when you try to access the blog it'll say "this blog is invited to readers only". At that point, you'll need to sign in with a Google or G-mail account. If you don't have one, you'll need to create one if you haven't done so already. Here's how:

1. Go to www.google.com
2. Click on "Sign In" on the top right corner of the window
3. Under the area where you would normally sign in, there's a link that says "Create an account now", click on it and follow the instructions.

I know this is some extra work, but until 01 January 2009, this is what it's come down to.

Please leave a comment on my blog after you've read an entry. And please sign your name at the end so I know who it's from, unless you wish to post an anonymous comment.

I have more to post this week, so keep an eye out, and now that we're private, I'm done holding back...

Thank you sweetie, for the priviledge of reading your post! I am looking forward to more of your wonderful stories and adventures.
I hope your Marines are managing the seas and the number reporting in sea sick, are at a minimum.

RJ,
Thanks for including me, I'm honored!
For those of us who are computer challenged-thank God I made it this far.
I'm really happy you can be yourself now, why should you be anyone else.
Looking forward to more RJ stories.
Take care sailor,
Debby Mc

Well, RJ I find it sad that in the US you can't both serve your country and been open about who your love interests are.
That said, Dave asked me today if I thought you were gay and Kim mentioned reading your blog. Probably smart to CYA until you are out.
I am already loving your blogs and looking forward to them uncensored and uncut!

Hi J,

I was afraid something like that might happen sooner or later...

Well, just like our visits to see you in Miami and hitting the hottest club du jour--it's always better to be "on the list"! LOL!!

By the way, did you tell your Marines about Soldiers' Angels? Get them adopted! Oh and you need readopting!

Blake said...

Miss talking to you, we need to get back to telling our wild stories!
