Im not 24 anymore...

Well, I def know how to party like a rock star, but I just can't hang like I use to. Im old and it just effects you different the older you get. So I always hang with either extreme older or young bucks that keep me on my feet. One of my friends at Starbucks, is who I have been hanging out with lately, hes just a great guy that puts off some good energy, that it's attractable. I have become friends with his extrmemly nice looking ex-model roommate who is def more my type of style for a friendship. We are alike in some things. One he is straight, fit, athletic and def likes sports like I do and has a business mind. The only down fall is, he's a jew, and not any jew....but JEWISH. I mean this guy is so cheap, and knows it, thats its just so funny. He has a really hot girlfriend that works for Captain Morgan @ Wrigley field, or where ever she is contracted out at. She has a great attitude on life and loves to laugh and have a good time.

Now your prolly asking me what is the problem well my sb friend is one true fag. We make each other laugh and thats always a good thing, but we just don't have alot in common. It kinda sucks cause Bruce works in the middle of the night as a stock broker for the Asian markets, so it makes it hard. Im just trying to increase my friendship base. I like big e, but he is a really selfish person, that only looks out for himself, which can be sometimes bad.

Friday night I headed over to b&e's place for a lil bbqing chicken, throwing the football, drinking and chilling. My sb partner and I were suppose to open our own stores, and I left their house at 130am, I was suppose to be gone by 10pm. Well bruces girl came over and we started chillling and realized we have to go to bed when we looked at the time @ 1am... Well I lost my bus pass at the bank and we looked all over for it, until when I got home @ 150am that I realized where it was.

Up for work 1 hour later to do a full day at my saturday starbucks in the Streeterville neighborhood. It was a very rough day. I tried to take a nap after work, but peeps kept calling me. Bruce hit me up to play tennis, and so I was off to Montrose with him to play. The last time I kinda played was 4 years ago. Were both are at the same skill level...beginner. Were gonna start playing more often.
Went back home and begun the party again by drinking, chilling, playing the wii and just us all having a good time. I left about 1030pm cause they were going to different parties and I was going home.

Well I got home and my friend called me and said, "if this is the one time you want to come meet me and I can't tell you why, you just need to trust me, this is the time." So I traveled to Halstead and North Ave to Parrots pool hall & bar and walked into a private party for friends, family and the BMX Dew tour that was having their first weekend tour wrap up party. It was right up my alley, tats, piercing, alot of wild boys and girls and I met a good friend that I talked to until about 3am, where we took the party else where...not sure why his girl didnt want to come, but she wouldnt of hung with us men anyway. ha

Well I never got any sleep, started running errands around 9am from just getting back and got ready to head to Pride. I was meeting one of my besties from Omaha Geoff. We had front row baracade spots at the middle of the parade. ONE hot mess we were. After the parade we met his friend and went out for more drinks...in which I had never stopped from sat @ 5pm. I've got issues'. I went to b&e 's place in lakeview and kept on partying until I gave up the ghost at 8pm and passed out.
Today as I write this to you, I realize im so stinking sore and Im just not like bruce & ernie not 26 years old anymore...

Not a good week for celebrities...

Im just beside myself with this week of celebrity deaths right now. Ed McMahon was a lil shocking, then Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson absolutely rocked my world. I was taking
a nap, and my cell' just started ringing and texting like crazy. I turned on the news and google and my heart sank.

Im sure people will laugh at me, but I remember the first place, time, who I was with when I heard Thriller and it was with my nanny. She introduced me to the "King of Pop" I was in love
ever since. I just think that its crazy that they really do die in 3's. My night was just filled with raw emotions of talking to people. So I wake up and its all over the tv, newspapers and it's all what people are talking about.
Im getting ready for a big weekend with the BMX Dew Tour, the 2nd half of the Cross Town Classic, Tast of Chicago, and the Chicago Pride Parade. Loaded weekend...Im ready

Too much life, too much drama...

is what im really trying to say..."I'm really trying to rid the drama out of my life." If we were to go back in time to last September, I had big wigs from a certain cable and music based company wanting me to be there first victim. I was approached to have my life filmed kinda like "Real World', but more like "College Life" for the most part being filmed by myself. So I agreed to meet up with the producers. They came and spent Thanksgiving weekend with me, watching me, following me, listening to all my phone calls, asking me 100s of questions and meet who I hung out with. After the first day, they said, "we're sold, your in". Well to the the say least, I was not informed that they also had been videoing me with their eye glasses. I thought it might be a lil odd that they all were wearing glasses-ALL THE TIME.

Christmas was around the corner and I got the call Ive been waiting for from the big wig himself in L.A. Well I was glad to hear that filming would begin May 1, 2009 till Sept 6. I was going to have a very packed schedule, they would be filming me at my work, going to church, working at the bar, and then all my extra activities on the side.

They had a few "request of requirements"
1. my best friend Derrick from Dallas had to come visit me for Labor Day weekend
2. OR I had to go on vacation to Dallas and then have a Labor Day party at Derricks farm
3. I had to go see my parents in Branson Missouri for 4th of July at dads church.-DRAMA
4. My sister Debra and I would have to go on vacation to Mpls to Victoria's
5. My 2 sisters had to come hangout with my parents when they come in July
6. Lastly either I or my other best friend Matthew had to go on vacation together

The exec producer told me that the only way filming would begin was with my thanksgiving as Season 1 of Big Tex hits Chicago. Well let me break it down 4 ya. I was really going through a rough time at that particular valley in my life. I will just say this out of these 3 at my house for 4 full days, I was only sober 4hours of those 4 days. So basically 1 hour of each day I was sober. I was not myself, you wouldn't recognized me, and I would completely disgraced my family, friends, and my faith. The only person that I really cared about their position on this was my bf matthew smith. "randall you won't get it, or understand my answer for many years, but your gonna have to trust me on this one... don' do this video documentary. You will regret it." Well this is probably one of the first times in a while that the tone of his voice screamed stop production-not literally, but in my mind...it did.

So your probably wondering...what is so interesting about randy paul thompson...Well I'm glad you asked? After a 15 page application, 2 i-chat video conference interviews, one here in Chicago and then I go the call.

In a nut shell, I was a complete and utter surprise, my siblings adored me and I rode in on my brother Jim Thompson Platteveiw High quarterback shoulders onto the field before every home game. My family owned a multi-million dollar business, grew up catholic, vodka added to my baby bottle at 2 years old, turned baptist in 1982, my best friend in 7th grade got knocked up, and then pregnant at freshman summer, high school best friend killed himself on the phone, another Omaha friend dieing in my arms after a self inflected gun shot wound to the head, from grandma dieing one month later after Patrick G. My grandpa was a pro golfer, they were best friends with Mr Weatherspoons who owned Pamida, went on missions trip to Mozambique Africa with Teen Missions, worked at a Timberlee Christian Center as a program director assistant and counselor my sophmore summer, and got kicked out that summer. My mom passed away Dec 16, 1998, my father remarries 1 year later, doubled my family and immediately was the black sheep of the new family. Stayed with Mother Teresa her last year of the first half of 95 and soaked it all in. I travel roughly 8 good 4-5 day vacations a year. I lived in Vegas, Dallas and now Chicago for 5 years each. I had a really dark rough time in Dallas and still wondering when I will find out why God took me through that hard valley? Im really missing my mom, I have a dad who is also a pastor, dealing with both of our cancers, his sisters are stuck in Dimensia, and passing away one right after another, growing up like women, but knowing Im gay, and what is the church going to say about it?

Last but not least, after I had been working on coming to Chicago my last 6 months, till now I have been on many of film, tv, and commericals already and Im not even trying to. I have been an a segment of Airplane on TLC, a walker in the park on a car accident episode of ER in 2007, 1930's passer by on the street on this summer opening movie Public Enemies! Lastly, I had a small walk on by-on The Beast with Patrick Swayze, too bad it just got cancelled due to his cancer. We had a lot of family friends passing away, dealing with cousins, and aunts cancer, my son was soon to be 21 years old. I wanted him to know his real father if he chooses. He knew I was moving to Chicago to give him that opportunity and we have hung out 4 times. Life is too short, the risk is always greater and some times you just have to say "F8$# it...Im in!"

Im getting ready to start in a new area in my life, new part of the city Im unfamilar with, and ready to tackle the next 3 years here in Chicago. I have begun writing a book about my incredible, wild and drama filled journey called my life-with the drama.
Until then my friends and family I will be taking a lil break, but promise to be back soon. I still might plug in a few thoughtful events that you need to know about...kinda like this next one, otherwise-peace out!
