I had to carry Fernando at one point because his blackness caused him to over heat. I whispered to him as I held him in my arms, climbing, &#8220;If it was any hotter, we&#8217;d both be dead.&#8221; (I didn&#8217;t bring any water.)<\/p>\n<p>When one is a blogger, one puts themselves out there for public scrutiny. And the public love to scrutinize. There will always be haters and lovers. What I choose to post and don&#8217;t post is open to constant criticism.<br \/>But I am true to myself. I post what I want. My only rule is to never knowingly dis anyone. I don&#8217;t want this blog to ever cause harm to anyone. After that rule, I give myself free rein to be me.<\/p>\n<p>I know there are those that will be disappointed that this post does not include a picture of myself. Because they take pleasure in believing I&#8217;m a narcissist.<br \/>But to be clear, to post pictures of oneself on the net is not narcissism but courage.<br \/>Because trust me, one is ripped to shreds. I choose to not care what others think and do what I want. I am an artist and I&#8217;m not shy to use the medium of self portraiture despite knowing the critics will be delighted to rip me apart.<br \/>But not to worry, as an artist who isn&#8217;t shy&#8211;you can count on a few more self portraits to delight in the future \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What the Metrosexual Man is Wearing to the Office (as modeled by Peter).
