BULLGOON: A DEFINITION
Basics: Just your average twentysomething 'mo, originally from the suburbs of New Haven and a wanderer thereafter to upstate New York, Miami, Boston, Southern California, and NYC. I now work in the Federal civil service and reside near Washington, DC. When I'm not working my day-job with the gub'mint, I like to dabble as an amateur drawer, photographer, and 'chronicler' of big, burly lugs (a.k.a. 'bullgoons') and their intersections with uniforms, hypermasculinity, stereotypes of authority, authoritarian aesthetics, politics, dominance/submission, and body growth. With that in mind, this blog primarily serves as a space to project an imagined, tongue-in-cheek 'Goonited States' as relayed through both my assorted sketches/drawings/photos as well as other bullgoon-related photos/links/videos I stumble across on the internets. Some old school '80s kid memories, demi-daily cityscape shots ('Daily Landscape(s)'), and other bloggish errata are thrown in for good measure. All full-size photos can be found at my Flickr account listed above.
Above all, this blog is created in the spirit of appreciation of big lug aesthetics and casual demi-erotic amusement. If you have a problem with the content, or can't digest it without ascribing simplistic political interpretations to it, please go elsewhere; thanks!
As mandated by the LJ-gods: This journal does occasionally contain 'adult' content and situations. The vast majority will be behind LJ cuts, but not always. Caveat lector 'n stuff.
