Personal Blog
Ahh, another interesting week. Last weekend I went to Rock Island, a local hip hop club, to dance my ass off. I succeeded in doing so and have since been searching Denver for the remaining pieces of my ass. See if you can find them all! Anyway, whenever I go clubbing, I am usually quickly befriended by a talented black dancer kid or two and we battle people all night. This trip to Rock Island was no different, except I finally encountered a girl (gasp!) that was a near worthy dance battle competitor! This little short spikey-haired blonde cutie, who looked like Pink(you know, the pseudo-badass chick rocker?) saw me dancing, twirled over to me and we started talking. She was really cool and after talking for a minute, a break(dance) circle started up right in front of me so I jumped in and pulled some of my fake-break moves(I can’t break that well but I’m a good uprocker and gymnast), and then stood up and started pop n’ locking. She then kinda pushed me out of the circle and let loose with her modern/ballet/jazz moves. 
I was very pleasantly surprised at her skill level and self confidence, and I told her so. Then we had a fuette contest – a fuette is an unnatural spin on one foot and you bring your other foot around with the spin and kick around each rotation. I have never taken ballet, and that is a very tough move, but for some reason I’m really good at it. Anyway, she was a really great dancer and an all-around fun, sweet girl, so I got her number. So her name is Gabi, lives like 4 hours away in the mountains, which sucks, but we’re gonna go clubbing together whenever she comes back to Denver.
Last night was another session of open gymnastics gym, so of course I went with Dewey and we tore it up like we always do. Last night I think may have been my most productive time in open gym ever. I tried a double backflip on the trampoline for the first time ever, and after one or two imperfect landings (landing on my knees, or rotating too fast and landing on my heels), I NAILED one. I kept doing them over and over, and after a few more tries, Dewey tried a few and landed. I also tried a back layout 360 on the tramp, and got it perfectly. Dewey and Francis (this cool 25-ish instructor that practices with us) said that my back fulls were just beautiful, poetry in motion, so next week I’m bringing my camera so we can take some pictures and video clips that I can post. I’ve been really sore since gymnastics, so today was just errands day – I washed my car, got my credit card fixed, ordered my new cell phone, sorted my laundry, and cleaned my room a bit.
Oh, hey, by the way, I get a LOT less traffic than you think I do, and I put a LOT more work into each entry than you think too, so could you please tell your friends to come check out my groovy site here? Thanks Gees.

Well, if you’d fix your webcam maybe you’d get more traffic! Why have the vote for me thing and then never be on cam??
But yeah, your pages rocks..

I know I’m not supposed to comment here any more, but I just had to disagree with Jenny. I think the hat is great…fits Peet’s style perfectly. Sometimes you just have to do what feels right to YOU, and not worry about what all the jerks in the world think of it. Still love your site Peet, keep up the good work!
Cute chick in your latest blog, by the way

What?!
Who is that uncomfortable with their sexuality that they would actually believe a hat would "reveal" their sexual orientation? Like it matters… How does one "come off as gay" anyway? Get real!
The hat is very attractive and it got MY attention. And I’m a girl…

so along with the hat, add the ballet, gymnastics and JT. no, he doesn’t want to come off gay. that’s obvious, if you’ve ever read the site or listened to his show. but who the f*ck cares. maybe he’s bi. and still, who the f*ck cares.

Thank you Shocks. I am 100% straight. While I find the concept of homosexuality acceptable(ie people can do whatever the hell they want), I have 0% interest in guys. Ew. I also have 0% in proving that to anyone who reads my site. Think what you will. Here’s what I think: "Hmm, I really like girls!"

… 100% straight …
hmmm
In other words – you are narrow-minded / you have some barriers , right?
(Sorry for my English. I’m just asking myself what’s going on with this *lovely* guy).

Ew.
I am 100% straight. That does not make me narrow minded. YOU can be gay all you want, buddy… but I like girls. Get it? There is nothing narrow minded about it.
I don’t like the band Creed. Does that make me narrow minded? No, I just have different tastes.

Hey guys..no need go give Peet a hard time. He is not a homophobe or narrow-minded. I should know. I’m gay, and I’ve teased Peet endlessly here on his site, and during his radio show. Although he is obviously str8 and not interested in my lame flirtations, he has been nice to me and even gives me shout-outs during his radio show.
So if you are gay and don’t enjoy being stereotyped for your behavior, try to use the Golden Rule and don’t try to characterize Peet by his clothes, music, etc. Everyone has a right to be themselves.

Oh geez Peety, I know you’re not hosting the age old ‘gay vs. straight’ battle on your site now, are you? I say just let ppl be who they’re gonna be, and shut the hell up about it. Still <3 ya Peety…muahz 2 u!

What have I done! *sigh*
I am a visitor of PEET’s really great site since 2.5 years, and I love the *man* and his way of live at all. (The very personally blog, the photos and everything.)
It could be that I used the wrong words in my last comment (it was my third comment) cause my English is very lousy. Nothing speaks against you!, Peet.
So I have to say *apologize* to you.
btw. you are right: I am gay, well – sometimes. And sometimes I am not.
