Stupid Boi Says Hello!

So I will introduce myself. My name is Patricio…everyone calls me Patrick. Okay so Stupid Boi…yeah I hate the word Stupid. I think it is so dismissive…when we don't get someone or something we call it stupid! So you are probably thinking why did I use the name "Stupid Boi" well…here is my explanation.


My whole life I have not really fit in with the rest of the kids…I have been misunderstood…a lot. I know most of us have. I am also a gay man….lately I have noticed that the word "Stupid" and "Gay" have become the same word. I have heard so many people say "That is so Gay!" Again it is so dismissive. So I thought that it would be Ironic…don't cha think? "boi" okay so I am not a child…nor am I still a boy! However, I am not that old so I still get called a boy…so I changed it to BOI instead of BOY. Get it? Okay so that was the boring.


Well here I am….so what do you want to know? Well I am 27 and I live in South Bend, Indiana…near Notre Dame if you don't know where that is. This is a small town who thinks it's a big city! Well we are not that far from Chicago or Indianapolis. I live in this one bedroom apartment on the east side of town. I work for AIDS Ministries/AIDS Assist…I am an HIV educator. I don't make a lot of money but I love what I do.


I actually started writing this blog on myspace and decided to move it over here! So if you wanna read some of the past blogs you can check it out at www.myspace.com/patrickbattani. I just actually write what I am feeling. Sometimes I am redundant but I really don't care. This isn't about entertaining people it is about putting down my feelings. So I hope that explains what is going on here…feel free to leave me you comments or suggestions. A word to the wise please leave your hate somewhere else…I really don't want to hear you ignorance.
