Can you believe it? I made it to the TOP THREE in the bloodthirsty Gay Bloggies competition. I’m deeply touched by all the loving messages you guys have been posting on the site! Thank you so much, it’s really what’s keeping me going through all this.

If you want to read some entertaining hate speech, check out the angry messages I’ve been getting from people in Asia and the UK! “You so stupid Fausto…” I may be crying on the outside, but inside I’m laughing. Or is it the other way around?

The next round asks the question: “What are my New Year’s resolutions for 2008?” I’m thinking… what is the whole thing behind New Year’s resolutions in the first place?

Find out why we practice the ritual of declaring to ourselves and each other how NEXT year is going to be better, hotter and fruitier than the last. I asked you guys what are ways you’re already loving yourself unconditionally in order to gain insight. I guess I wanted to stop the hate speech and start the love. And yes, I mean in that sexy, sexy way. Please post your thoughts, ideas, resolutions and comments there.

Check out my special Gay Bloggies BONUS PODCAST that features some great audio messages from you, our lovely listeners. To add a little spice to the mixture, we brought back one of your old favorite guests, Marsian De Lellis!

At the bottom of the entry, please post a comment there and give me the thumbs up. This is THE most important round, as your votes and comments decide who gets to win the competition. I know it sounds awful, but not only do you have to give me the “thumbs up” on my latest entry to keep me in the competition, but give the “thumbs down” to the other three contestants to help me into the next round.
