Looking at Xtube- I love the fake personals adverts down the side. "Trevor38328, Auckland! theBigOne28, auckland! CodyMyBootay, North Shore!"

Dude, these guys are all black. I know every black gay man in Auckland. Yes, both of them. These guys aren't them. And Trevor38328 appears to be posing on the hood of a Sebring.

Of course, I'm only looking at Xtube because I just finished work. Well, not *just*, I finished work 2 hours ago, but I just crawled into bed and as my head hit the pillow I thought... "Shit. I left 6 bottles of Becks in the ice chest. If they freeze they'll explode and ruin all the ice." SO back to Kamo I went, removed beer from ice chest, and now back home. No longer sleepy. Well, not just yet...

OK. So, here's my "Black guy in NZ" story.

Had a two week break in my last year of grad school. Did the whole NZ Bus Tour for People Under 40 thing. I forget which major city. The one with the SF-like cable cars. (A lot of NZ reminded me of Northern California for some reason.) At some American-ized bar. Called "Chicago", I think. Dance with some American girl. She asks me what team I play for.
"No. I'm a dentist."
"No you're not. Why are you making that up?"
Little did I know that every black guy in NZ is apparently a minor American talent there to play pro NZ basketball.

Wellington. And yes, if you're black you've probably been imported to play basketball. Not sure why black people are so few here, there's no racial bias: on the contrary, black guys are such a rarity that they are instantly popular, especially at Urge. Some kind of stereotyping, I suspect. Not sure what. Anyway.

Why dont you come visit again? ;-)
