is it raining in france?

will i get my passport in time to skip over to france this weekend?

* UPDATE: No, I didnt get to France. I didnt get the passport in time. I suck.

I'm blessed to keep such beautiful company. A special someone that i've kept in touch with since I attended a Black Gay Men's political mobilization retreat earlier this year, has invited me to spend the weekend with him in Cannes, France.

Because I've actually never been to France, of course i'd love to go. There' s just one problem: I've lost my freakin' passport! I havent traveled out of the country for a little over a year and a half, since I last got back from South India.
*
Today's Wednesday, is there anyway realistically that I can get my passport by Friday at 9:30pm?!??!? Isnt there some kind of emergency service? If not, i'm stuck in New York this weekend, while France passes me by. Considering how ready I am to leave the country permanently, perhaps a weekend abroad might be too much temptation anyway.

Stay tuned for the final word on this story. And do help a brother out if you know how to.

Call and a make appt for rush passport. Increased fee but it worked for me when I had to travel ina hurry and had lost my passport.

thanks so much jalyah and "leontyne's child"!

Yeah man, I did it myself too. Tkanks for the comment on my blog. Glad you enjoyed. Yeah man you might have to kill ya whole day getting it done and spend some dough but that's life right.

Hey thanks for visting my blog. You'res is quite impressive. I definitely plan on coming back. You offer a lot of great things here.

Make sure that when you go to the passport office you also take your flight itinerary. That's gonna be the second thing that will be asked for

Frank, the last comment is a very good one, and you've gotten excellent advice already, so let me just say, Bonne chance, bon voyage et amuse-toi!

Please have a great time in Paris...

Make sure you get to Le Rue de le Champs-Elysse... I think that is how you spell it...

You will understand why I am sending you there, if you find it...

Madison has nothing on it...

As always in Parting,

I came in Peace and in Peace I leave...

Wow I can't believe it! I was noticed in Gay-Space and this time I hit international.

Thank you very much for dropping by my blog Frank. It was an honor having a prominent guest like you hanging out in my little corner of blog space.

Joms here, 23 years old. Manila.

Hope you got your passport. Lucky bastard! Kidding. Have fun.

And yes, there is nothing like a black man's ass.

Thanks for your support Frank. Enjoy your trip to France. Check out an opera while you're there if you can.

Babe, thanks for visiting my blog but I am noticing that you perhaps you were a blog comment slut?! I see that you commented upon many a blog and not just mine: http://living-in-chinese-gitmo.blogspot.com

At first I thought I was building upon my fan base but see...that it was a lie. However...you are exactly the type that my roomate goes for. He is a cute Greek Gay man and we live right by NYU...Love connection in the near future? I think I just upped my fag hag status to the virtual world

hahaha. love the comments. no, im not as uh...slutty as i seem.

i came across several blogs last night that i loved and commented on all them---yours happened to be one of the lucky few.

thanks for stopping by.

Aww man, France. Sounds like it's going to be a great weekend. Enjoy your time in France!

Have a great trip! Paris, I'mma coming one day!...

I think you should have fun, Frank. Cannes, France? does your friend have an older brother? lol!

Have fun...I think you should go and enjoy yourself..and no we don't think you are slutty..but we DO think you put out a LOT of booty to get someone to fly you to france..HA! ;)

We should meet up in the future...things are very hectic on my end with teaching everyday, etc. But, we'll talk soon.

I hope you got the passport and made it across the pond! (avec the accent aigu)

France is fun, and you definitely deserve a break. . .

Cheers,

TLO

Man a weekend in France I'm like whoa.....

Just my thoughts
