Yes I am the Daniel Gonzales from People Magazine. I am an ex-ex-gay meaning I tried to cure myself of my homosexuality and then realized I couldn't. This is my old personal blog I don't update anymore because I now spend my time in front of a computer writing for ExGayWatch.com. If you want to write me, my email addy is daniel@exgaywatch.com.

Bought a new beanie (touque for you Canadians) for my trip.


My aunt's morbidly obese cat.


One of the first things we did was go to Lake Michigan so I could see all the ice blown up on shore by the wind.


Not that I care about football but the Chicago Bears were in the superbowl and several buildings used their office lights to spell out support.


I went to the Shedd Aquarium on superbowl Sunday since I knew it'd be empty. Why the penguin exhibit was indoors was beyond me.


The Kimodo Dragon exhibit.


On the walk back to Union Station the bottle of water on the outside of my backpack froze.


On my way home. That's a very well know piece of public art at O'hare airport for y'all who don't know.


My friend Mark who works for United hooked me up with a friend-of-employee-standby-fare which got me upgraded to first class. My flight back was on a 777 that had just come from Germany so it was equipped with lay-flat seats that were so large it was obscene.

Our reflection somewhere in there at the Chicago "bean"


Tomfoolery at the Palmer House where we were staying


Oh and we were there for the 4th of July


All thrilled to be at Buckingham Fountain


The EL, the preferred method of transit to Boystown


And all of a sudden we're in upstate New York picking cherries, cos that's what there is to do.


They've got ladders too.


More cherries


Getting a little something for the girlfriend (they have a unique relationship)


The Erie Canal


Mark really seemed to enjoy the "apple frost" frozen slushie things so he got too


In case you didn't believe me.


We also went to Buffalo and ate at the home of the buffalo wing.


Our last stop was NYC. I insisted we take the train.


Really the only thing I felt like photographing in NYC was the Chihuly show at the New York Bottanical Gardens.


Pretty effing cool.


It was really hot that day in case you can't tell.

Woo, got my tickets to Austin yesterday. Well we're actually flying into San Antonio but my roundtrip on AA is less than Southwest's fare each way.

Effing hot! I'm so getting one of these when I visit in September.

Did I mention I'm visiting Austin?

Ladies and gents, I'm back. I've decided I'm leaving Long Beach when my lease is up in February and I've only begun to consider where I might end up. I expect to resume posting regularly again to document my final months in Long Beach.

I posted some thoughts / requirements on XGW:
I'm currently exploring my options for moving to a gay-friendly city with more affordable housing than exists in southern California.

Cities must have at least half a million residents and the median home price must be near or below a quarter million dollars.

Government recognition of partnerships is not required but non-discrimination laws at either the state or local level are.

Hot is preferred to cold.

Thoughts anyone?

(And it's kind of funny that Exodus' hometown of Orlando now almost fits the bill.)

Bio:::

I’m Daniel Gonzales, and I recently graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a B. Architecture. I’m currently working for one of the largest commercial architecture firms in downtown Long Beach as a designer in their mixed-use urban redevelopment and retail studio. While in school, I worked for the Mustang Daily photo department for three years and also spent time studying abroad in India and Thailand. Yes, I realize none of that had a damn thing to do with architecture. I grew up in Ventura, and moved here to Long Beach after graduation. I'm a workin boy now.

I am not yet a licensed architect.
