i used to be a transcriptionist. i made decent money doing it - $1 per audio minute, which at an industry-average WPM works out to about $15 per hour, this in 2000s dollars. (mind you, my wpm is crazy, so i made more for my time.) i had ADHD that wasn't medicated at the time and would get ready for work by brewing up a huge pot of coffee, letting it go lukewarm, and chugging it in one go. i don't recommend this approach but it worked. it was also hellish on my wrists, my audio processing disorder, etc. after a working day i'd have a hell of a time understanding anything anyone said to me on the phone. i could pay rent with transcription in the 2000s, but rent was cheaper back then and transcription paid better. nowadays you're very lucky to see $.60 per audio minute without any formal qualifications (which are getting harder and harder to get), and the workflow has changed; everyone wants you to "edit" garbage machine translations and pay you with the fiction that you are "editing" them, where the reality is you have to do the exact same work but with an added layer of software wrangling for corporate compliance.

my great-aunt was a transcriptionist in the old days, when instead of VLC having a dial on it to adjust file speed she had to pay for a pedal that slowed down physical tapes. she paid for a mortgage with it, but that was in the 70s and 80s, when mortgages were cheaper (and rates were still at or near a dollar per audio minute, in less inflated dollars).

the existential threat everyone acknowledges to transcription is software, because everyone thinks software transcription is good. (it's not markedly more accurate than a well-trained 90s speech-to-text program, to be completely honest, and if you need a non-verbatim transcription - i.e. all the ums and ahs and doubling-back parts aren't left in - you're completely up shit creek.) the actual existential threat is outsourcing; the cost of living is simply lower in many areas of the anglophone world, people have less ability to take their ball and go home if offered insultingly low rates there. (this is not likely to remain the case forever, as average floor wages have increased by a factor of anywhere from 10 to 20 in anglophone south and southeast asia since 2000, and while they're very low by the standards of the global north, they're also on the order of a factor of 8 or so lower rather than a factor of 20 or 50.)

apparently the opportunities available to mostly housebound people with keyboard skills in america have declined such that the average such person, offered 60 cents a word to hammer out words for hours a day, can't reasonably take their ball and go home either. the competition used to be flipping burgers; now it's uber and grubhub, other gig work bullshit.

this is a long rambling story without much of a point. i miss having that job. i liked it, as shitty as it was. but i can't pay rent with it anymore, and it took too much out of me to be worth what it still pays

There are a few words that I have typed incorrectly so many times that spell check has given up on them. That is a problem, since my job is "transcriptionist" and I kind of need Word to flag things like "abuot." My supervisor keeps telling me to run spell check, and I have sent her screenshots of a clearly misspelled word right next to a spell check 100% notification, but she's still getting agitated about having to correct my typos and I have no idea where to look in my settings for "words I've fucked up so many times I've rewired the brain of my entire program."

Any ideas?

(Yes I do have to use Word/microsoft office, but if there's a place you would recommend that I paste everything into, then paste it back once it's been run, I...will consider it. I don't need to be losing my job because she's trying to close on a house and move before April 2 and taking stuff out on me)

Sometimes I rlly feel like outlier in deaf community bcuz I like both interpreting and subtitles bcuz I struggle with language and helps with both of them. Ik I'm valid anyways bcuz every deaf person valid etc. Just feels lonely sometimes. I could never ever get them as accomodations though :/ college only offered transcriptionist OR interpreter but trying to take notes while watching an interpreter is augh!! Not happening which led to me dropping out which was not good

that's so frustrating!!! I hate the way colleges do accommodations, sometimes people just need both?? college accommodation centers like to simplify down disabilities way too much. everyone has so many factors influencing what accommodations they benefit from and when.

also I definitely understand not being able to take notes with an interpreter. it's one of the main reasons I don't currently have an interpreter accommodation. someone once suggested to me getting a note taker accommodation with the interpreter accommodation but if the college even paid for that it wouldn't be the same as taking my own notes. it sucks that interpreters and note taking really just don't go along together well.

never feel bad about dropping out though. college isn't built for us and it's not your fault that you couldn't make it through when there are so many barriers in d/Deaf people's way

I'm all about people getting transcriptions and captions of their work/recordings/videos/whatever but especially when it's phone recordings (esp esp of phone convos)... i really need people to listen to the audio before sending it to the transcriptionist. because if it's literally all static I can't help you. like. if u cant hear any words then why did you send me this. im literally just typing the words you can hear. that's the whole job. i can't decipher pure feedback, i'm not magic lmao

#me #tbqh most people don't know what a transcriptionist does #when i tell ppl i freelance theyre like ooh what even is that.#like. most people.#like 9/10 people/

Why Are We Fundraising?

Hi all! We're close to our main goal on the Hi Nay fundraiser, but we've got a LOT to achieve between main goal and our second stretch goal.

So we wanted to share some of the things we're fundraising FOR:

EXTRA EPISODES:

If we hit our stretch goal of $12850 (reflected as $13906 on Indiegogo to cover the fees!), we'll release EXTRA EPISODES of Hi Nay!

HONORARIA:

All VAs on Hi Nay, including the main cast, have been volunteers and therefore UNPAID. Even our crew, and writer Motzie, has been unpaid. We get a tiny bit from Patreon, but everything else goes to managing costs like hosting, website fees, etc. Everyone's just worked to help the story come together, for FREE.

We want to give each of them an honorarium or gift of anywhere between $50 to a few hundred dollars depending on how often they appear on the show. If you think that's too low, you could always get us to our stretch goal of $12850 to help raise that number!

CAPTIONING AND TRANSCRIPTION FEES:

For accessibility and other reasons, we want to ensure Hi Nay has captions and transcripts available for all episodes. To do that, we want to hire a dedicated transcriptionist. We've mostly been doing the transcripts ourselves, but not in a timely manner.

EXPANDED EDITING SERVICES:

Our second stretch goal has expanded editing services as a goal. We also wanted to hire a dedicated editor so that our team could focus on other aspects of the podcast! It's not looking likely that we'll hit that stretch goal ($10150) but you can't blame us for trying.

EQUIPMENT UPDATES:

Thankfully the nature of Hi Nay's analog style audio means we don't NEED super fancy equipment, but at least a couple of our team might benefit from updated mic setups, so we're hoping to cover that for them as well.

WEBSITE FEES, HOSTING FEES:

Surprise! It takes money to have our podcast on a decent host, and money to keep up our hinaypod website. We've gotten pretty affordable options all in all, but that's still a couple hundred a year all in all and we don't want Hi Nay to not have a home!

SPECIAL EVENTS:

It would be super cool to bring Hi Nay to live spaces soon, and we're planning to figure that out in the near future, but funding that would be super helpful! This is outside of our stretch goals, but we're hoping we can aim for it regardless!

EXPANDED MEDIA (Books, comics)

Given that Motzie is a visual artist who's independently sold comics, having a Hi Nay comic or book would be pretty awesome. Another one of our beyond stretch goal ideas!

If you'd like more details about our current goals, you can check out our budget here. We'll likely move stuff around depending on how much certain services turn out to be, but this was our initial estimation.

HELP US GET TO OUR STRETCH GOALS!

HI HELLO that clip is really something! First off I really appreciate all the translation stuff you're doing and the character analysis posts they give me life AH. I don't want to be that guy tm but do you mind breaking down the part you put down as "Well [we're thinking] that he lived...that's no joke" ? To me, it sounds like there's a lot of incomplete thoughts/sentences, but at the same time I'm a little hard of hearing so might not be getting all of it.

This isn't trying to call you on anything, I'm interested in improving my own Japanese as well and I really would love seeing the breakdown !

First of all, thank you so much for writing in! While I'm pleased with the reception, it's quite rare to get comments on the translations themselves (perhaps understandably so, the work of a translator should be and often is "invisible"), so I'm thrilled to have your support! I'm also always happy to see others enjoy my Unmitigated Braindumping to Snap recently.

And you're more than welcome to be That Guy™ because I was hoping for a chance to talk about this! As I mention in the disclaimer at the start, it's really difficult to make out what's being said in some parts. The commentary and gameplay is almost at equal volume and there's crosstalk both with the commentators and with the in-game dialogue.

That's sort of why I had to have the clip professionally transcribed (although my initial point of interest wasn't what was in the clip I shared; I actually glossed over Yokoyama's comment entirely at first and only noticed it in the transcript). Even then I had to fill in some of the blanks myself, which I only managed because I have some much-needed context on the series and commentators.

There's also the matter of stylization. In this case, I was going for natural human speech rather than a literal translation, but I also had the constraint of having to make everything fit to one line (or about thirty characters). I'll go into those aspects as they come up.

Anyway, without further ado, let's break it down!

The clip in question for context. To stay on-topic, I'm only covering what Yokoyama said from 00:18 to 00:36. I'm starting a bit earlier than the point you mentioned, but the context is important to establish in terms of how I chose to translate what was said.

tumblr_video

[00:18–00:25] Yokoyama: [知]ってんだよ・・・　勝ってんだけどさ・・・　こんなに簡単にさ・・・　まぁ、ちょっと。

Interestingly enough, the transcriptionist and I had significantly different ideas on what was being said here because he's sort of slurring his words at the start of those first two lines. As a cohesive whole, though, I believe my interpretation here is accurate.

「知ってんだよ・・・」 -> Literal: "I know..." (emphatic, explanatory) -> Final: "I know..." Easy enough to pin down and translate, as he's already repeated this phrase multiple times at this point.

「勝ってんだけどさ・・・」 -> Literal: "[Someone/Something] won, you see..." (emphatic, explanatory, with the slight nuance of introducing an idea) -> Final: "He won me over..." The trickiest line, because it's very difficult to make out the 「か」 sound at the start. This is where I had to rely on context, because while most verbs starting with a sound in the 「あ」 column simply didn't make sense with the surrounding lines, that in and of itself doesn't narrow it down to one possibility. So I had to consider what Yokoyama might be wanting to express here that could be considered a newly-introduced idea within the context of the conversation, and I recalled that at the time the tweet at the end of the video was posted, Yokoyama had "denied allegations" that he liked Mine. His views in the past would come as a surprise to anyone talking to him now, particularly when he always speaks highly of Mine, so the nuance works. Then the association formed of him being "won over" by Mine, so that's what I ended up going with. He technically doesn't say who or what "won," or in what sense, but I think it's fairly clear.

「こんなに簡単にさ・・・」 -> Literal: "This easily..." (emphatic, explanatory) -> Final: "Just like that..." Pretty straightforward. It connects directly with the previous line, so the verb had to be something that can be (and was) done easily. Although he "denied allegations" at the time, a decade ago now, he's warmed up to Mine (and Hijikata) considerably. So as mentioned before, these three lines form a cohesive whole, which you get the sense of from their similar structure.

「まぁ、ちょっと・・・」 -> Literal: "Well, [sort of/a little/a little while]..." -> Final: "Oh, well..." I'll explain this one further below, because it's not an independent phrase, but the start of the next thing he says. It should be noted that the fact he takes so long to finish this thought shows that he's taking his time to consider his words carefully. But for now, all I felt I needed to do here was make the "bridge" clear by ending this line and starting the next one with the same word.

I did say I'd only cover what Yokoyama said, but as an aside, Santo(?)'s line drives me insane. I hate, hate, hate leaving anything as [unintelligible], but even the transcript was of next to no help here.

[00:29–00:32] Yokoyama: ちょっと生きてましたでさ、やっぱ獅童さん呼ぶのも辛いじゃん。

Now we're getting to the meat of it. And by a stroke of pure luck, there are no ambiguities here at all on what's being said, so I won't keep you waiting!

「ちょっと生きてましたでさ、」 -> Literal: "And [he's] been alive for a bit," (emphatic, explanatory) -> Final: "Well, [we're thinking] he lived," The nuance of 「ちょっと」 here is arguably the trickiest part. Of course, in my translation, I opted to emphasize the bridge between the two thoughts instead of fully interrogating the "meaning" of 「ちょっと」, but it is really worth taking a closer look at. Because in one sense it's sort of a filler word, a buffer. But in another sense, weighing the potential meanings of 「ちょっと」 against each other here is crucial in understanding who he's talking about and what he means. In this context, it can only be describing either time or certainty, and the emphatic, explanatory nature of 「で」 and 「さ」 cancels out the idea of it being a matter of certainty. That's why I've been hammering that in so much. So if instead it's about time, saying this about Nakamura, saying "he's still alive and therefore can participate in RGG," would be incredibly weird, disrespectful, and out-of-character for Yokoyama. So it can only be about Mine. It can only about how long it's been since they came to the conclusion he's alive, and, in a sense, how much thought they've put into it. This is sort of where the issue with character count came up; I wanted to say "we've been thinking" to convey these ideas, but I just didn't have the space. But that's an addition by me based on an inference, because I didn't want anyone to, as I mentioned in my original tags, expect too much. The most important takeaway is that Yokoyama says in no uncertain terms that Mine is alive. And I didn't include this because it goes by incredibly fast and I wanted to keep the spotlight on what Yokoyama was saying, but Santo(?) agrees. It's not Yokoyama's personal opinion (which he typically qualifies extensively even if it's for something that doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things, like Kiryu being a virgin in his view). It's a fact that's known to RGG Studio. Mine is alive. It's just a matter of whether we'll see him again and when.

「やっぱ獅童さん呼ぶのも辛いじゃん。」 -> Literal: "Still, inviting Shido-san back would also be tricky, right?" (assertive, inviting agreement) -> Final: "But getting Shido-san back, that's no joke." Very straightforward. He does slur his pronunciation of 「辛い」 as 「つれぇ」, but that's undoubtedly what he's saying. (Side note, a number of his characters also talk like that; some at RGG Studio say the "Yokoyama-ism" comes through at times.) What I'd like to point out here is the usage of 「も」, or "also." The implicit meaning is that getting Nakamura back is tough, but it's tough in addition to something else. Because of what he says next, I believe that "something else" is figuring out how to write Mine back in and do him justice. This wasn't particularly important to me to convey in the translation, because I thought it was fairly clear, but maybe I should've? It really frustrates me that so many people automatically jumped to the conclusion that this would be an arbitrary, poorly-thought-out decision despite Yokoyama acknowledging that it wouldn't be. I guess a number of people didn't watch that far into the video, though.

[00:33–00:36] Yokoyama: だから、その、やっぱ・・・　やるならガチなんだよね。

Final stretch, let's go!

「だから、その、やっぱ・・・」 -> Literal: "So, [if we do] that, of course..." (emphatic) -> Final: "That being the case..." Again, very straightforward. Elevating the level of assurance conveyed in the sentiment as a whole.

「やるならガチなんだよね。」 -> Literal: "If we do it, we'll have to do it in earnest, won't we?" (emphatic, inviting agreement) -> Final: "If we do it, we'll do it right." This is one of the most important things in the entire video. Of course there's the openness to actually going for it, that's important in and of itself, but the emphasis on doing it right? That's something people always miss. Because if they want to get Nakamura back, if they want to write Mine back into the series, they DO have to do it right. And they want to! It's just ridiculous to me to see people gloss over this completely. Like, I was the one who "broke the news" about Lau, one of the people who broke the news about Kashiwagi, but none of these were decisions made lightly. Yokoyama is the first person to shut down "fanservice" for its own sake, and I know that because I've seen him do it time and time again with my own two eyes, even if it would be relatively benign like having Mack show the player how to use Photo Mode in Ishin or having Akiyama show up in Kiwami. When he makes these decisions it's because they've been weighing on him for over a decade. He was literally talking about how he wrote RGG Mobile as an "apology" to Kashiwagi for killing him off in 2013. It took him ten years to get to the point where he was willing to bring Kashiwagi back, but people act like he just flipped a switch, and it's simply insanely out of touch with how things are actually done at the studio. And perhaps I'm in the minority here, but Kashiwagi's death WAS a waste and bringing him back couldn't have been handled any better, in my opinion. I can see their commitment to "doing it right" because they have.

Sorry to get so heated at the end (honestly, I'll probably never be "done" talking about this), but I hope at the end of it all, I've answered your question adequately! For such a short clip, there really is a lot going on, so there was a lot of ground to cover. Feel free to send follow-up questions if you have any, I'd be happy to expand on anything I may have missed (although, with any luck, I haven't missed much).

#asks #my analysis #my translations #esotericephemera #yakuza 3 #yoshitaka mine #ryu ga gotoku studio #masayoshi yokoyama #kson #SORRY THIS IS A LITTLE LATE #i wrote. a lot. as you can see. and for that i had to compile a fair amount of information as well #i have an advanced understanding of japanese grammar but not an advanced ability-to-explain-it LMAO #so i'm sorry if certain things don't make sense!

911 season 5 part 1 liveblog

5x01

Okay, dramatic opening image!!

Love it

What's this walking dead shit

Omg emus??

Oh jeeze what else is loose here

A fucking GIRAFFE ok I'm obsessed

This is a GREAT fucking opening

LMFAO I appear to have accidentally downloaded the Spanish dub

Ok an hour later that mix up is not as funny as it was but we are back baby

Take two

Btw I don't think I've mentioned it yet but I love the show's score

Little baaaaaaaby

What the hell is wrong with the human brain that at the moments when you need it to be functioning the most, like when you have a new kid for example, there's a solid chance it just breaks

It's Mad About Depression hours I guess

The fact that Eddie is so stubbornly insisting that meeting his girlfriend's family isn't a big deal

Idk I guess Eddie's love interests so far just haven't grabbed me. His type is bland willowy ladies and I would like to see some sparks.

911 is being flooded with calls?

Oh shit this is bad

This really does not seem like a glitch to me

Haha oh it's kind of fun to see Taylor and Buck getting a little spicy. I've been thinking about how this show doesn't really do much sexiness and it's not like it needs it but I also sometimes think it doesn't have to be quite as sanitised as it is.

(I may or may not have been thinking this in the context of, it would be fun to see some hot and heavy Buck/Eddie makeouts. They're both very attractive people, sue me)

(But Taylor is also very attractive and I'm down with Buck/Taylor make-outs)

Ok the fact that she was seducing Buck to get access to his phone just makes it hotter. Hi Taylor just a heads up if things with Buck don't work out I am available.

(Also will someone write me Buck/Eddie/Taylor because for real I would be into that)

Yeah ransomware makes way more sense

What the fuck how does the rapist have a giggly female fanclub?? That does not seem plausible to me.

T____T Christopher is so cute trying on suits

Oh no Eddie did not like Ana being referred to as Christopher's mum

That looks like a panic attack to me

"I don't panic" shut up and take the damn pamphlet Eddie. I hate to break it to you but you are still a human being.

Oh Athena, honey

Harry taking care of his mum is so soft

I'm sorry but as a former legal transcriptionist, self-reps are never this calm and collected. they are constantly being pulled up by the judge on things they're not allowed to say and getting off track (it's a little bit funny). It's pretty implausible, under the circumstances, that he would be allowed to represent himself in the first place - and that is for his own protection.

Oh the idiot defendant decided to make a break for it in the chaos while maintaining his innocence? That sounds more like the self reps I'm familiar with

Crying with laughter over how a digital attack is somehow making an analogue clock go haywire

Oh Buck gets bitchy when Eddie hides things from him

On top of everything else, now there's a blackout?

This is officially beyond my ability to suspend disbelief.

Still, I am having a good time. I love when shows go big and get stupid with it.

No!! Not Athena's detective friend!!

5x02

Jesus Christ Bobby that was very heroic but you know that if you die Athena will KILL you right?

Oh fuck Athena's friend didn't die I'm so relieved

I really thought he was gone

Fire Marshall Buck, my delight!

Man Eddie is never gonna beat the gay allegations if he keeps having panic attacks every time someone thinks things are more serious with Ana than they are

(I'm being a little flippant of course I know there are other reasons for that to feel Fraught)

(I just can't help but think about how much of his relationship with Shannon felt like someone checking the boxes he's supposed to check. To me, at least.)

Ok but when do the animals come back

Oh my god Eddie is so FOND listening to Buck talk about the animals at the zoo and why they should be panicking

Buck on "animal control" is hilarious

LOL at Hen and Bobby being menaced by alpacas

"Clever girl" HEE

T_T oh I know this is deliberate weepy feelgood bait but the neighbourhood coming together to help the little boy on the ventilator still gets me

Aw Buck is so worried about Eddie's hypothetical heart attack

"Suddenly it became a ready-made family and I don't know if I'm ready for that"

LOL Eddie is going to "stick it out" with Ana because she is, and I quote, "the first woman I've wanted to spend this much time with since Shannon." My guy you spent most of your marriage to Shannon in Afghanistan.

Eddie taking a nap to avoid a big life conversation feels very relatable lol

I'm glad Chimney is talking to Hen about Maddie having post-partum. He needs support too.

Oh jeeze that's so scary, falling asleep with the baby in the bath. I fell asleep holding the baby once, just for a split second while sitting up in bed, and dropped him onto the floor. I don't think I have ever felt worse. But he was fine and Maddie's baby is also fine.

D: the attacker is at Athena's house. Oh that feels horrible. Even just knowing he'd been there. I would have to move.

Harry oh no!!!

This horrible worm of a person with Harry in his car boot. I will fight him.

Jesus Christ ANOTHER cliffhanger? But I really have to sleep this is terrible

Stay tuned I guess T_T

Mental Health - Break the Stigma

My beautiful bride posted this on “The Facebooks” and it’s important and she gave me permission to share it here, word for word: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recently, I was struggling with depression, and I may be still, but it wasn't until this year that our insurance covered mental health services. I wasn't aware I was depressed until it started to get a bit better. That doesn't mean the depression magically left, it means there was enough of a break in the clouds that I could see the sky again. Two things happened that caused me to notice.

One, at least a small part of my depression was hormonal. I was prescribed some estradiol 0.01% estrogen cream by my urologist because it could help with my interstitial cystitis. I'm perimenopausal, so my estrogen is dropping and it caused a hormonal depression. What caused me to realize this was happening was after I used the estradiol and it was like I had just mainlined some espresso! For the first time in a long time, I felt so good! I had more energy and I was raring to get some things done!

Before I had used estradiol, a friend had told me of her hormonal depression and how hormone therapy helped her. I didn't think I was depressed. I had just been through a world fracturing loss immediately followed by several other losses, so it made sense I was down. I was grieving, but I didn't know it was depression and that my hormones had hopped on for the ride. As I examined my physiological response to the medicine, I began to connect the dots, and that's when I could see the depression for what it was. It was like coming out of a haze. This is what spurred the second thing to happen. I began to look at how I was feeling and my responses more closely. Overthinking came in handy at this part as I turned everything over and examined it more closely. I could see that over the last 2-3 years my communication with friends and acquaintances had dropped off dramatically. Only the very closest people to me were getting some kind of regular communication, even though that was a struggle sometimes. It wasn't that I didn't care or didn't want to know how others were doing, and if someone had reached out to me for help I would've done my best to help them, but I couldn't reach out for myself because I didn't know I needed help. That realization lifted a significant chunk of the haze for me. You may wonder why Mike didn't notice this, it's because he was suffering the same losses. The person closest to me was also in a depression in struggling, and for those 2-3 years we just survived. The first 6 months or so were the adjustment to the quarantine and life in a Covid-19 world. Then I got certified as a medical transcriptionist. Addison got Felix, and Mike took them to the park and to Stone Mountain to hike while I did my course. And then there wasn't enough to keep busy. Whether other activities slowed down, or the depression strengthened, maybe both, I can't say. We survived the through losses, through the pandemic, through life by hiding in our escapes of books, movies, tv shows, and video games. But that's what it was, surviving, not really living. We were there for each other as much as we could be, but when getting out of bed is one of your biggest struggles, and how you start each day, it can be incredibly difficult to be present in life let alone be there to support someone else. So when that's all we could do, we would just be present for each other. We were fortunate with that, and it may have made a bigger difference than we'll ever know.

This depression started with the loss of my Dad in December 2019, followed by one of Mike's brothers 6 weeks after that, followed by losing Joey Good Boy, followed by 5 more losses in the year and a half since that December. Because of the pandemic, I couldn't go back to MD to see my mom and sister regularly, something that helped me deal with everything. Grief so great that it nearly blotted out everything else. Grief so great that it's a mental health concern. Grief so great that it shut everything else out and consuming depression moved in.

Mike and I do regular check-ins with each other about once a week or so about how we're doing individually and how we feel about how our relationship is going. We used to do monthly relationship check-ins to make sure we maintained a healthy relationship, but that was before we were surviving. Little things, things that would go unnoticed could uncharacteristically become a big deal, but they weren't being addressed because it was just one more thing to deal with and it was just one more thing I simply could not handle because I was surviving. I got out of bed most mornings, because there was a point I just gave in, and that took all the effort I could muster.

My depression. I had never before been depressed like this. It was new and terrible. It was stubborn and difficult to get to leave, and sometimes it keeps trying to slip back in like an unwanted visitor. I know its tricks now. I know the signs when it wants to ramp up again because I'm still not 100% but now I know. I know how and when I need to communicate that I need something. I focus on rebuilding communications and relationships that suffered, and that's hard sometimes because it can still be hard to talk about being depressed, not because I'm embarrassed but because it's a lot to deal with, but facing it is how I, personally, work through it.

Not everyone is that fortunate, that's right, fortunate in depression. I was raised in a home where we were taught to be compassionate about the struggles of mental health. Mental health, the health of the mind, a legitimate illness that needs the care of a good doctor. My depression snuck up on me, and then I accidentally found something that helped me. Not everyone is that fortunate. Check-in on your friends. Let them know you care.

STORY: Ups And Downs 28

Temptations

Rocky and I snuggled all night...what was left of the night. Being an entertainer, he was a night owl, but I was used to getting up with the sun to go to school or work. So, when I awoke at dawn, he was still sound asleep. It would have been delightful to roll back over and cuddle throughout the day, but alas, I had commitments.

The conference at the U.N. was not scheduled to start until 1:00 p.m., but I wanted to get oriented, so I arrived at 9:00 to take a tour of the building, which is very impressive. Marc Chagall’s stained-glass “Peace Window” is absolutely stunning. Picasso once said, “When Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour is.” I don’t know about that, but his work is certainly colorful…and amazing.

After the tour, I grabbed some lunch in the cafeteria and met Mr. Block and Woody in front of the conference room. “You brought the Wacom,” noted Woody. “Good. There will be transcriptionists, so you won’t have to take down everything, but you should take notes on anything that might constitute an action item for Mr. Block. If you ever have any questions, just look at me, and I will give you a signal.” I tried to talk to Woody about learning that Mr. Block is actually Brock Archer, but he evaded the question and ushered me into the conference room.

The conference ran until 6:00 and was followed by a dinner hosted by the Japanese CEO, Mr. Yen, who had been at Mr. Block’s dinner party. I was surprised to see Rafael and especially Ward there since Mr. Block did not bring them. Rather, they were guests of Ambassador Papi. I envied them for looking so refreshed, but unlike me, they had been able to sleep until noon.

By the end of the evening, I was exhausted, and I still had to get up in the morning to meet with the hotel manager, Mr. Danvers, before heading for the airport. On Mr. Block’s instructions, Rafael and I had taken lots of pictures of the hotel and extensive notes on our observations. The boss knew that the meeting would be beneficial for Rafael in his new job in Sitges and that I might even pick up a few pointers as well. Actually, I learned a lot, but that was mostly due to the insightful questions that Rafael asked. I know that Mr. Danvers was impressed.

We considered ourselves very lucky to have the opportunity because we knew that Mr. Danvers was a very busy executive and probably was meeting with us only because of Mr. Block’s considerable influence. We promised to keep the meeting short, but Mr. Danvers, a very handsome, immaculately dressed man in his mid-forties, was overly accommodating. An hour into the meeting, I finally had to excuse myself to meet Mr. Block and Woody for lunch and then depart for the airport.

“Please be my guest the next time you are in New York,” he said.

“I’m sure that Mr. Block will be returning soon,” I assured him.

“With or without Mr. Block,” he insisted.

I thanked him for the offer but explained that I could never afford his elegant hotel on my own.

“Oh, but I have my own apartment here in the hotel,” he replied. “You will be my personal guest.” The offer did sound very appealing. I wondered if Mr. Danvers was as good-looking out of his custom-tailored suit as he was in it.

Just as we were getting up to leave, we were approached by the concierge. “Excuse me,” he said. “I have a message for Mr. Campbell.”

It was a note from Woody changing our plans. He said that he and Mr. Block would be staying over a couple of days but wouldn’t need me. Instead, they had arranged for me to meet with the director of the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in Soho at 5:30. They had re-booked me on a red-eye flight.

“You will love the museum,” said Mr. Danvers. “It is devoted to the works of gay artists and gay themes.”

I wondered aloud why they were sending me back without them. “Probably because the big Halloween party is coming up in a couple of weeks,” said Rafael. “Kim is incredible at organizing these events, but it is a huge affair, and he can still use all the help he can get.”

Since I had several hours to kill before my appointment at the museum, I was very tempted to suggest to Mr. Danvers that we go up to his apartment for a little “farewell party,” and I could see that he had considered the same option, but, unfortunately, he had other appointments that he could not cancel, so Rafael and I decided to have a nice, leisurely lunch and then take a stroll through Central Park. I did leave our little meeting with Mr. Danvers with a substantial hard-on, though. I was so tempted to drag Rafael into the bushes at the park and screw the hell out of him, especially since this would be the last time we would see each other.

Mr. Youngblood, the director of the Leslie-Lohman Museum greeted me when I arrived. He was younger than I would have expected for a man in such a responsible position, and he was damn cute. Between his good looks and the very impressive erotic works of art, including several Archers, I popped another boner. I tried to conceal it with my tablet, but it was a futile effort. “Don’t worry about it,” the cute curator brushed it off. “It happens a lot in here.” I’ll bet it does, you fucking stud.

First, Mr. Danvers at the hotel and now Mr. Youngblood at the museum. Fuck, I really needed to get my rocks off, but I just had to hold it.

Still, I felt like I was at home in that museum. I appreciated that Mr. Block had arranged for me to see the place and meet Mr. Youngblood, but I didn’t realize that there was more to his motives.

“I hear that you are an accomplished artist yourself,” said Mr. Youngblood.

“Mr. Block told you that?” I asked.

“Yes, but he is not the only one,” he said. “I have received several phone calls from our patrons who were at Greenwich this past weekend. You made quite an impression.”

I thanked him for the courtesy, but there was more. He invited me to send him some sketches to exhibit in the museum. Me? Average Joe from Columbus, Georgia, exhibiting my doodlings in a New York museum? Wow!

“Let’s discuss it over dinner,” he insisted, and since I didn’t have to be at the airport for a few more hours, I gratefully accepted. Dinner was delicious, but what I really wanted was the gorgeous Mr. Youngblood for dessert. Sigh.

The red-eye flight back to San Diego was nearly empty, but there was a pregnant woman in first class who monopolized the bathroom, so when I had to take a leak, I strolled to the back of the plane. I did a double-take when I saw the man in the back row playing with himself, and he had a lot to play with. It was huge.

When I stopped in my tracks to gawk and then looked back toward the galley, one of the two flight attendants there just looked at me and shrugged the whole thing off. When I finished my business in the lavatory, the man was still going at it, sometimes with both hands. One of the flight attendants came out of the galley, sat down beside him, and took over the stroking. Yeah, a hand job. He looked like he wanted to suck it off, but seats in coach are pretty cramped, and he would have to have been a contortionist to get into position.

After about 10 minutes of the complimentary jerking, the other flight attendant called, “Henry, time to bring out the drink cart.” So, Henry, the jerking flight attendant, excused himself and returned to the galley. When the duo exited the galley with the drink cart, I scooted over into one of the seats across from the stranger. After watching for a few more minutes, I dared to make a move, sliding into the seat next to him.

The man smiled at me, “Edward,” he offered. I smiled back and told him my name. As I replaced his hand with mine and stroked slowly, he commented, “Take your time, buddy. No rush.”

We chatted and I learned that he was a frequent flyer. “I make this trek twice a month,” he said. “The guys (referring to the flight attendants) know me”—as if that gave him license to expose himself. “Occasionally, I’ll get lucky,” he added, “and find some guy who will give me his phone number or follow me into a restroom when we get to the airport and blow me.” This was obviously a man who got aroused by taking risks. Hmmm. I wonder if I should....

“Ah,” he exclaimed. “Getting close. You’re good,” he commended me. “Nice touch. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that you’re fucking hot. Gets my juices flowing.”

I thanked him for the compliment just as he pulled up his sweatshirt and shot all over his chest and belly. Once the orgasm subsided, he raked a finger across the white pudding and stuck it in his mouth. On the second run, he offered the cum-soaked finger to me, and I accepted it politely. “And they say you can’t get a good meal on a plane anymore,” the man laughed. Before I knew it, Henry was standing over us offering us a couple of moist towels.

When the plane landed and we passengers disembarked, I headed straight for the toilet, and when I exited the stall, I saw the pilot enter another stall…followed by Edward. I was so tempted to see if I could make it a threesome. I walked out of the restroom, paused, and almost turned to go back in there when my cell phone beeped. It was a text from Kim. He and Ron were waiting for me at baggage claim. Apparently, Woody had asked them to pick me up. “He asked Ron,” said Kim, “but I insisted on coming along.”

“Good,” I exclaimed. “Let’s ride in the back seat together, and you can blow me. I’m so horny, I’m about to burst, and I don’t think I can wait half an hour until we get home.”

“I’ve got a better idea,” said Kim. “Remember that Mr. Block has a penthouse overlooking the park. That’s just five minutes away.”

The penthouse was luxurious…surprise, surprise…and the view from the top floor of the high-rise building was unbelievable. Not only could we see Balboa Park from one side, but from the other side we had an incredible view of the bay and the Pacific Ocean beyond.

Ron and Kim wasted no time in tearing off their clothes and mine. When Kim tried to drag me into the nearest bedroom, I recalled the scene at Rocky’s after-concert party, where one couple fucked out on the balcony. We didn’t actually go out on Mr. Block’s penthouse balcony, but we did grab some cushions and pillows off of the sofa and throw them on the floor next to the balcony. And we opened the glass doors just to be daring.

When Ron went down on me, I let out a Rebel yell that I was sure could be heard by people on the street 12 floors below us. I thought I would explode immediately. “Don’t you dare!” Kim threatened. “You’re gonna fuck me tonight, and I expect you to make it last.”

Though it had been a very long day, and I had arrived back in San Diego exhausted, seeing Ron and Kim again, or maybe it was the exhilaration of having sex overlooking the water with the glass door open, reinvigorated me. I fucked Kim good while Ron tongue-fucked my mouth and played with my nipples and finger-fucked my ass. It was the next best thing to being in the middle of a sex sandwich.

Having sex with new partners—as I did in New York and Connecticut—is always exciting, but there was something amazingly comforting about having sex with a couple of good friends. It was the perfect homecoming.

The three of us spent the night in the penthouse, treated ourselves to a late breakfast at Urban Mo’s, and went back to the house. To home.

To be continued
