Unless you live under a rock or a giant snow pile like some of us on the East Coast, Valentine's Day or is this Sunday Feb. 14th (which coincides with Chinese New Year by the way.)

Ahh to be in love during a bitter cold weekend. I remember the most romantic Valentine's weekend I had was a few years ago. I was dating this hot little prep who had the tightest ass and was a kinky s.o.b. to boot. He surprised me this year with a weekend getaway! Romantic and raunchy? I struck gold! We drove up to Boston and stayed at the fabulous gay bed and breakfast. All I really remember from the trip is it was like -10°F and we fucked... a lot. The relationship lasted about a year where we broke up and got back together around the same time at an orgy similar to this one. Soon we realized we were not meant to be—mainly because I moved on.

Why the hell am I tell you this story? I always reminisce of this fun time I had when Valentine's Day rolls around and even though I am very happy not having to deal with the romantic obligation; some of you don't feel the same way I do. Some get depressed thta they are alone while others get pissed that they have to try and purchase that "special gift" that says "I love you". So because of this I want to show you all how special you are to HOMOPOP. And to be quite honest, I would not being doing my name justice if I didn't have a gift for you.

I have a handful of G-PASSES for 30 FREE minutes to TLAgay.com's VOD site. As much as I want to think you are all innocent fuckers and are going to check out our gay cinema VOD site (which you should because it has the largest selection of gay independent films available for streaming); I know you are going straight for the porn (Yeah, I would too.) All you have to do is leave a comment and tell us your best Valentine's Day story or why you HEART HOMOPOP. Once you leave a comment shoot me an email at khart@homopop.com and I will send you the code for your free minutes. It's that simple... and the special gify is only good until Feb. 14th.

Let's recap: leave comment + email khart@homopop.com = 30 FREE Minutes on TLAGAY.COM's VOD site

Minds out of the gutter. I don't know what sparks it, but I can sometimes be a softy... and not THAT kind of softy please!

The holiday season is upon us and it's time to celebrate. If you are like me you will be traveling to spend time with your family over Thanksgiving. Sure you may have to listening to grandpa or your crazy uncle tell the same war story, roll mini meatballs for the soup, but you can drinking LOTS of cocktails. Even though some of you might think this is a torturous time of the year, please just remember that there are many people out there in the world.

I can't help but reflect back to the first time I met Mike (Subsequently is going to kill me for talking about this.) I was shooting a commercial for the mighty fine folks at the GLBT organization Delaware Valley Legacy Fund. Every year they put on an annual TOY drive. My producer basically cast all non-actors and I was thinking, "Oh great this is going to be a long day." But then this large cup of manliness walked in the house. I asked if anyone had any acting experience and thankfully Mr. Mike did. A couple of months later when the stud muffin showed up a party, I immediately thought he would be a prefect match for us... and he sure is!

So who cares right? If it wasn't for the generocity of everyone involved that day we never would have made the commercial for TOY!, which is an event that raises money and collects gifts for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. We generally don't like to talk about regional things, but I think this one's worth it; don't you? Sick kids in the hospital during the holiday season SUCKS. We all have to do our part this year to help those who needs it most. Hell, look at Paula Deen. She was helping pass ham hocks that were being loaded onto a truck heading to a food bank when someone tossed one too soon and it smacked Deen in the head. She laughed it off, but it just goes to show that even TV stars take one for the team.

TOY! is being held on Friday, December 4, 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM at the Marketplace Design Center (2400 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA.) Or just go online right here to buy advance tickets.

Be safe everyone and have a Happy Thanksgiving. I doubt we will be posting anything, but you never know when Keeneye Reeves pops up around here because he has a bad habit of working too much!
