My birthday night...
So i 'm 26 now and let me start this blog off with a bit of happiness for once. My birthday was amazing. I started the night by attending Marc Jacobs fashion show and sitting in the front row with my date, Jason Preston. The show was breath taking, beside Marc's fall collection being absolutley beautiful, Sonic Youth performed as the models walked the runway. When the show was over i found myself face to face with some pretty interesting people that i'm have no problem talking shit about. Kevin Federline: Absolutely disgusting in person. I got a good laugh as Marc played off the sinsignificance of meetting the wanna be rapper. Selma Blair: so cute and nice. Victoria Beckham: this bitch needed to get out of my face. No bitch i would never wanna come back satge at a spice girls concert. Where is your husband?
The afterparty was just as amazing. The Daily News claimed there was alot of sexula tension in the air:
"And then there was Jacobs' sometime fiancé Jason Preston, who found himself face-to-face with ab-rific porn star Erik Rhodes. All three of them got dirty on the dance floor and in a banquette. It was Jason touching Erik and Erik touching Jason and both of them touching Marc all night long.
When we asked Eric about his relationship with Jacobs, he just lifted his shirt to reveal a 12-pack. Guess we had our answer."
Sorry that's not exactly what happened... but it sounds like a good story right. Like i talk by showing my abs and it just happens to mean :"yes daily news, marc and i fuck our brains out". Like i said before, this just goes to show you, that you cant believe everything you read.
Anyways, i spent the rest of the afterparty socializing with the likes of Lil' Kim, who is amazing and other less worthy celebs in my eyes like Rachel Zoe. I concluded my night with quite diner with Marc and jason. I sware to God, they gave me the best birthday i could have ever asked for. These are the types of people i need in my life. Regardless of all the celebs i met, it didnt even compare to just hanging with them. Even right now writing this it makes me happy as a clam. So if you guys are reading this. Thank you so much. XOXO.
(oh and as for some of the websites telling me to shut up about Marc Jacobs if there is no story... trust me i will. Because there isn't. I was just blogging about my weekend. End of story. But keep enjoying reading my blog looking for a story)
-----------------------------------------------------------
So Saturday Night
I ended up going to the party that replaced The Roxy here in New York called Stereo and a huge shocker to my friends but i ended up leaving the party by myself. I'm not gonna say that it was an ugly party at all, because it wasn't. It was just an ugly scene in terms that its the same people. Just older. Still just living for the weekends and dance music and popping pills of exstacy. Seriously, i didnt even know that people were still doing exstacy. What is this high school?
Anyways, I tried to find someone worth talking to, but the more i thought about it the less i thought i could even give a fuck about someone that make this type of party there life. What turns fags on about dancing shirtless, being covering is the sweat and stench of 600 misc guys and listening to the same beat till the early morning. Its funny cuz i saw a couple of guys that i used to have a hugest crushes on back when i used to go to roxy, and they are still doing the same shit years later. Still tweaking, shirtless and looking for meaningless sex. These are the types of guys, i want in my life? Fuck that. I just kept saying to myself, "yeah i could have sex with anyone here, but who out of this crowd of guys do i wanna cuddle with and wake up next to" the answer was none of them. So i left by myself. It was a waste of time, but an eye opener.

Hooray for eyeopeners and flashing-ab !
happy girthday Erik
Glad you had a memorable birthday. Hopefully you'll find more good people who are worth your time.
I've had my nights on the party scene and had some magical moments on the dance floor. That said, one of the things I've really enjoyed these past several years is going beyond the chemically induced feeling of togetherness we had to actually get to know them as people and make some very good friends. Yes, there are some guys who are just out there to get high and have sex and are stuck in that phase of their lives. At the same time, there are others who can go out and have a good time and also want more substance.
Sometimes it takes some time and effort to move past the superficial. Just like there are some who can't easily look past the porn star who is Erik to see the real person (some prefer the illusion, to be sure), often there is much more to people than what you'd encounter in a club. Its just a matter of being willing to find out.
Happy born day. Live it, its all about these moments. looks like im moving to NYC! Im so excited maybe i can be just like those tweaked club kids!!!! Hurraayy my drream come true.?
I actually like clubs and parties because it's the only place where I can totally abandon everything in my life.
Except I don't need drugs. I don't do ecstasy nor meth. And I'm always sober.
But I agree with you. It's always an eye-opener at the clubs. One going to the club and you think you probably see it all.
I'm glad to hear you had a good time.
I can't express how happy I am for you to see life and friends for what they really are. That's growing up, that's the best birthday anyone can have. I'm really happy for you. It's a great start for the rest of your life.
Hey man I’m so happy to read that you had a great time and that your B-day made you go to sleep happy!!! Marc and Jason indeed sound like two great guys and it’s super that they are in your life I think!!! All we need in life are the good people who actually take time to see us for us and who do so cause they want to and not cause they need to!!! The best influences in life are the ones that care and telling them that I bet means the word to them.
As for Saturday good for you man, you know what you want in life, all you have to do now is find it and yea I know that is so easy to say, I say it to myself and I am like what the fuck are you going on about. But art the end that is the truth we gotta find it ourselves or at least open our eyes when it passes us by.
So again happy 26th and may this year bring all the love and people in your life that you need and remember you’re a great guy ( yea total stranger I am, I know, but what I’ve read so far in your blogs screams good heart and that is all that counts!!!)
Take care

I wish I could answer questions by just flashing my abs. You'll have to teach me that trick someday. LOL But first I'd need a 12-pack so I could never use it anyway.
Happy Birthday and glad you had such a great one. I turned 26 in October, didn't involve any fun or excitement though but oh well.
well it sounds like you had a great birthday and even more wonderful connection with marc and jason...
hmm...looks like you are a step closer to figuring things out and aligning yourself with good and positive people in your life...
hope your 26th year is full of breakthroughs and positivity, eric!
Sounds like things are definitely moving in the right direction.
Glad to hear the birthday was a fun one!
I'm happy for you, Erik. I hope moving out, being single and free, and having an "eye-opening" birthday are steps toward a more content, positive you. Glad you had a great, memorable day and night!
Happy birthday!!
Great that you finally "see" what's good for you. Partying and meaningless sex isn't everything in life. It's time you take control of your life and head to the right direction :)
Erik
Sounds like you had a great time at the Marc Jacobs fashion show.
I love what you said about K-Fed and Victoria Beckham.Classic!
As for Stereo,different strokes for different folks.
Must be nice to be confident that you could have sex with anyone you wanted... and decide not to.

Read your posts. you're actually funny. subtle sense of humor. not sure these people are getting your humor though. but funny regardless.
Great quote by marilyn, i feel like that all the time.
Amazing, 21 years old here (45 on the inside).
Came across your blog, now, for the first time.
It took this long to finally find out..there's 1 more soul out there, on this planet, who I can relate to.
It makes me want to cry, happy tears. Any tears would do really.
Obviously, reading this, doesn't equate knowing who you.
But this helped, I needed this.
Thank you for having been borne Erik...as retarded as that sounds, it's the most serious thing I've said and meant in a while...and probably will for some time.
The moments worth giving a damn in life come so rarely.
Happy Birthday Eric, I am about to turn 36, and from my experiences, it's a pretty shocking experiences, but a good one, I just can't believe I am turning 36 already. Time really just flies by. So do enjoy what you have now, cause time wait for no one. I remember when I turn 30, everything had turn to much more easier, I hope that will be the same for you. You said you see the negative much more than the positive, but just know that you actually realize that is a much better than someone who lives in shit and never cares.
I don't pretend to know you, but from reading your blog, I get a sense that you are a honest guy with a good heart. So I hope you the best! Cause the world with you in it is a better place.
Really happy that you had a Great Birthday! As I just turned 40 myself, I have learned the importance of being with the people who truly matter. Consider yourself lucky that you now see what it is you saw at the club. It often takes some a lifetime to get to that point!
Nice, I got really baked and worked out all weekend.
Happy V Day.
Cheers,
G
Happy belated birthday, Erik!
I tried to send you an e-mail at the address on your website, but apparently it never went through... Just not a comment I want to make public here.
Anyhow, I hope all's going well, and things are looking better. Have a good one!
Sounds to me like Marc Jacob's publicist fed that threeway story to the NY Post last week so he could generate some publicity for the show.
A press whore pushing a story about a stressed whore to build buzz for a dress whore.
Looks like they all got what they wanted. Happy birthday E.

Ps: I lost my glasses So I won't be writing a lot as I use to for awhile... But I'll make my best to read your words every day!!!!
Hello Erik,
I've been reading your blog. I'll admit I just started. I went all the way back to when you and Danny were breaking up. Look, I'm a certified Life Coach. I want to help you (no charge) You are too young to be this unhappy. I think, no I know I can help you. It's all on the down low, and I just want to help you. Think of it like this: You are in the water up to your neck and I'm at the edge of the pier with my hand out to get you out.
Please, let me help you
My cell is 559-799-6991. I'm in California so I'm not trying to "date" you. LOL Give me a ring ok?
Sincerly

Happy Birthday, Erik! Glad that the day went so well, hanging with two men who sound like they could be SOLID friends.
I'm glad you got the Birthday Gift of an eye-opener at the club later on that night. Yes, the Party is fun, but IMHO, a steady diet of it and nothing else is not healthy in the long run.
A Birthday wish for you: May you find during this year the People, Places, and Things that will truly sustain a Great Life for you.
Peace, Pleasure, and the Pursuit of Happiness!

This is the kind of person you have to be: A guy who sees his surroundings for what they are and you snap out of the "poor me" bullshit.
Snap out of it Erik, you have shit tons of potential and don't have a lot of problems most people face.
Maybe do something to help others as opposed to sitting around feeling sorry for yourself, tweaking, fucking, partying, and working, because it might give you something you've been missing for so long.
I'm sorry, but I find it highly unlikely that Victoria Beckham would want to have sex with an uneducated porn star who is addicted to coke.
I totally agree! I usually feel awkward when I go to clubs. It's just not my kind of crowd. I much prefer bars where you can sit down and chat with people.
I think Gym is just as bad though. All of these guys pretending to like sports, putting on the biggest act that they're "Str8 acting." It's so obnoxious.
I'll tell you, the best bar I've actually been to in this entire city, believe it or not, is Cubby Hole. That tuna poppin, Coldplay listenin, oddly decorated lesbian bar had the most chill people in it. After a few drinks, everyone in the bar is chatting together. It's like one great big alcoholic family when you go there. And, I don't know what it is, but the boys that go there are always pretty chill, and I've found a lot of them to be pretty hot too.
When you go, you can't help but love the lesbians more--even if they are dumpster divers by night.
I'm going to bookmark this blog and try to start reading it. See you around--maybe at Cubby Hole. :)
Yeah I had my eye opener not saying that I won't roll ever again but my 20's are over and I never even rolled or did any drugs until I was 24 and after finding out I was positve a week before my 32nd birthday last year because some asshole cut the condom after not having sex for 2 years and being lonely and meeting up with someone. I should have paid for an escort. *LOL* Then I wouldn't be worried about losing my life be in my art career and finished with college. Oh well you win some! But if not now then when! Keep your chin up and eyes on the horizon.
soon enough you will become a good, clean, romantic, "marriage material" boy that I would introduce to mother... hehe Way to go! There's more to life than whoring around... Tom (varekaidream at htmail)
