Today, August 29th, 2007 is officially Ladies Day here at Adam's Web Log. All of my posts today will have a unifying theme of interest toward the fairer sex.
Enjoy.
==========

Yes, the girls are reading, not 'the gurls' (queens reading each other), but actual women with fallopian tubes and everything are reading this blog. Lately I've been noticing that I've been getting more and more comments and emails from women who are readers of the blog. I even got one of my sisters to start reading it and once she got over the shock now she's hooked.

When I started this blog I have to admit that women actually weren't my target demographic. It's not that I wanted to exclude them I just didn't think they'd be very interested in the life and times of a black gay man, boy was I wrong. I thought that all of the sexual references I make here would turn them off. This morning I read one of the comments that one of them left to the "I Really Am A Bottom, I KNOW I Am..." post. She said:

"You are such a good storyteller. I am right there with you every step of the way. I am glad that you didn't just say f*** it and rammed dude up you actually took time to consider how he was feeling in the situation."

I read it and I actually couldn't believe she said that. I think it was the fact that she used the term "rammed dude up". As open and sexual as I am some things can still make even me blush when caught off guard. I don't know why I would blush though, I am the one who wrote the blog post. It's actually really cool that there are women aren't so repressed when it comes to gay sex. I really appreciate her comment.

Now that I think about it my initial expectations of women were actually kind of dumb of me. The theme of the blog is "We Are All Much More Alike Than We Are Different" it's like 'DUH Adam, why wouldn't they be interested?' The whole point of the dayum blog is that we see ourselves in each other. I put forth a purpose and then I start to fulfill it and then I'm shocked when it's actually working out, crazy huh? The only thing I have to do now is teach the women gay lingo. I am actually working on a gay lingo dictionary and it will be posted to the site soon.

Some of the female readers are bloggers themselves so I wanted to give them a shout out. I'm also gonna add them to "My Favorite Blogs" list located on the left panel.  Be sure to check out these blogs:

- Get Erica (she's beautiful)
- Caramel 101's Live Journal (she's bi, papa likes)
  Thanks for the link.

Thank you to every woman who supports this blog!

Especially Angie, the moderator from the JanetJackson.com Message Board who was the first woman who made herself known as an avid reader of my blog.

If you are a blogger or webmaster and you have linked this blog from your website. Let me know so I can give you too a shout out.

I just wanted to take the time to thank everybody for reading and supporting this blog.

It is very very very very very very very much appreciated!

I've taken a measure to make everyone's lives a bit easier.

I know when you tell people about the log it's hard to remember a long web address.

So I went out and got a shorter one.

So when you tell and/or email your friends about the blog tell them to go to:

www.AdamsWebLog.com

The old address still works though: http://blog.abenjaminirby.com

Thanks For Everything!

Most of my friends are Facebook heads and have been trying to get me to get a page on there for a while now. After checking the site statistics today and seeing that people have been putting links to the blog on their Facebook pages I finally decided to take the plunge and join.

Check out my Facebook page:
