The Wonderful Life of Mr. WannaB

Ep. 1 - Condoms for condos!

When you buy an apartment in Praça das Flores, maybe more than in any other part of town, you’re bound to have a gay man in your building. I’m the one in mine! But along with the gay residents, you have the gay visitors, who visit the bars, the restaurants and the other residents, especially the gay ones! Sometimes, I find myself surrounded by so many gay men, that I feel the need to find shelter… and what better protection from too many gay men… than lube and condoms?

Besides the gay men, when you buy an apartment in Praça das Flores, you’re bound to have a grumpy old man in your building. I also have mine! Everybody else gets along but not him. He’s the one who is always against everyone and everything. He’s not ignorant, he’s not poor, he’s just rude. Luckily, I don’t really need to put up with him most of the time, except… in condo meetings. Last night I was in one, and among the many accusations from old man, the same old same old accusations, inconsequent and deliberately offending accusations, a very serious one was directed to me. Suddenly, I had an outburst, because more than fed up with him, I was unprotected. It was an ugly messy scene, which fortunately didn’t last as I was quickly able to calm myself down.

If even for gay men, society found such a fabulous protection so we can deal with each other and not be contaminated with each other’s «mess», how come there is no protection for when you get messed up in condo meetings?

I didn’t get much sleep last night. But now, it’s another day, it’s morning, it’s sunny and maybe, the next time I meet the grumpy old man from my building, I’ll apologise for my outburst. Someday I may be an old grumpy gay man from some young gay man’s building and I’d sure like him to say hello! No one is worth a bad nigh sleep because if in Bedrock they had a gay old time, in Praça das Flores I plan to have a gay young time!
