[filmstu2005]

Why couldn't I have met people like you when I was in college? OR anywhere for that matter? Lol. you're so bravely intelligent. Always a good quality to have

[RobNorthampton]

I'm sure you are well settled in to your 'new' place by now. Presuming you have a communal area, I hope you all worked out who does the hoovering and throws out the old Domino's boxes! :-)

[SilentMovieGuy]

You're going to enjoy Transparent.  I just finished it. That man is sure easy to look at. Congrat's on your new job and..... your new place.

[xypowerpop]

@cuteboi1226 Aghh, i know right. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that I was 15, living with my parents, and having all kinds of late night ufn with you guys on stickam. omg good times, and probably one of the best summers of my life. You're still young too, so shush.. :P I work in the Housing office for the University of Florida.

[Thankyou3403]

@xypowerpop go gators

[JMIME45]

I want your flag!!! but for gay girls

[xypowerpop]

@JMIME45 lol, they had one for sale where I purchased it, which was a stand at Gainesville Pride Festival.

[sleekcartim]

OMFG I need those pillow cases! Happy belated Bday!

[sleekcartim]

If i was ur BF i would get you mr lemon for ur birthday LOOL. i didnt know he was gay, but like you always wished he was Mmm

[xypowerpop]

@sleekcartim Aww, thanks haha. ROFL yes, definitely always wished. I'm glad you approve of my pillow cases. They've been featured in my videos for almost four years now :P I think I got them when I was 12 or 13.

[underthesurface323]

aww so proud of you dude. U are really growing into a confident young man. Cant wait to see whats next on your journey :)

[xypowerpop]

@underthesurface323 Aww, thanks :-) I'm excited to see what's next along the road for me too, excited and kinda scared.

[masterdoa]

NICE, enjoy your own place and happy belated. That was motivation to stay here in Miami get one, but on the out skirts of the city. The inner city apartments cost too much.

[xypowerpop]

@masterdoa Thanks :-) I can imagine the inner city apartments costing a lot down there. My apartment is definitely not in the center of Gainesville where all the expensive residences are. >_>

[luckeeleeyeo]

Where'd the beard come from? I likes it!

[xypowerpop]

@luckeeleeyeo I have a bear from time to time. Unfortunately I'm probably going to shave it back down to a goatee tomorrow. Hope you don't mind!

[luckeeleeyeo]

@xypowerpop Awwwwhhhhhh! Tear :'-(

[MrGuylaugher]

yah! apartment, research assistant, and job! mr powerpop doing big things. . .i want more vidz on issues. i enjoy listening to your perspective.

P.S where is the dog?

[xypowerpop]

@MrGuylaugher :) "big things" lol I'm trying. I also will most definitely post more videos on issues I find. There are a few really interesting topics I've had incubating in my head for weeks now.

[DarrenDiamonds]

I looooveee the flag... x

[xypowerpop]

@DarrenDiamonds Thanks :-)

[SteFUNN]

don lemon is pretty cool. my mom was crushed when he came out.

[xypowerpop]

@SteFUNN ROFL.  Not sure why I laughed really hard reading this comment.

[CatotheCensor1]

Glad to hear you are doing well. Oh, and a belated Happy Birthday!

[xypowerpop]

@CatotheCensor1 thank you!!

[BIGBALLSSEESALL]

Bitter much about the cam? lol. Awesome pillows btw :)

[xypowerpop]

@BIGBALLSSEESALL lol, not at all, i hope it didnt come off as bitter. :P  thanks

[geesthacht82]

You have a handsome face and a nice, deep, "straight" voice.

But why don't you have any muscles? I thought all African Americans were muscular.

[elm1230]

@geesthacht82 LOL! yeah...fail.

[xypowerpop]

@geesthacht82 i just dont know where to begin with this comment..

[bert070967]

@xypowerpop Better to not start at al, altough I have to agree with as he writes: " You have a handsome face and a nice, deep, voice. "

[xypowerpop]

@bert070967 Aww, thank you!

[drdantepereirea]

I want your flag where did you get it

[xypowerpop]

@drdantepereirea I got it at Gainesville Pride last year for $10.

[ThereWillBeDaniel]

when can I come over

[xypowerpop]

@ThereWillBeDaniel maybe once our place doesn't look like such a mess x_x i want to shop for decor once i'm financial aid rich.

[CuddleBunE]

congratulations on your new apartment congrats on the new job too and I heart your flag its AWESOME! : D



[xypowerpop]

@CuddleBunE haha thanks :-)

[CuddleBunE]

@xypowerpop welcome! : D

[LEEP1948]

Congrats on the job...enjoy the book..its great..tell Shawn to post some vids!!

[xypowerpop]

@LEEP1948 Thanks :D Will do.

[24okay]

You're gay? Why is there a gay flag like that? Straight people don't have sexual preference specific flags.

[xypowerpop]

@24okay When straight people become a group of people with a need for a sense of pride because they're oppressed by an ignorant majority, they'll have a flag. Trust me.

[24okay]

@xypowerpop Yeah I guess you could be right if that ever was the case. I dunno man, it just seems so strange. Like Gay parades and things like that. Men and women have equal rights based on their actual gender. Sexual preferences are totally something different and I try to wrap my head around the need to have parades and flags because of one's sexual choices. I dunno if you see what I am saying, and maybe we won't see eye to eye on this one. But HEY! Maybe another video to discuss. :-)

[elm1230]

What you got a job?!! and your in your apartment!!! You have a really nice room.I will try and call you when I get the chance.Mom has been ridic with the phone.Love you!

[xypowerpop]

@elm1230 yessss. it's an office job that'll barely pay me each week ( minimum wage, only like 6 or 7 hours of work each week.. ) but it's better than nothing! and it's easy as hell.

[xypowerpop]

@elm1230 ps - tell that mom of yours to get with it and be considerate

[elm1230]

@xypowerpop Yes I know she's been flirting with a new guy (I'm done with men my ass) I'm gonna see if she's off that phone.

[Leadman1989]

You forgot to say this is where the magic happens. :p

Dude I totally had/have a crush on Don Lemon too. I KNEW in my heart of hearts that he was gay (gaydar) and when I found out (really late) I was like bullseye.

[xypowerpop]

@Leadman1989 LOL. It most certainly is. and hah, you're taking the words straight out of my mouth. :-)

[naries21]

Congratz on the job man and lucky you with the new place

[xypowerpop]

@naries21 gracias.

[16leafaR]

now i can come visit lol... yay jk... congrats

[xypowerpop]

@16leafaR thanks man :-)

[faraon3000]

Congrats on your new job and nice flag.

[xypowerpop]

@faraon3000 Thanks! ^_^ which flag did you like?

[faraon3000]

@xypowerpop The gay flag behind you on the wall.

[tattooskin72]

Love the flag :) Grats on so many things.. first apartment is a big step and so exciting :)

hehe, the pillow cases are cool :)

Don Lemon is great. I love that he came out... must have more big names in different industries coming out.

[xypowerpop]

@tattooskin72 forreal, we definitely need more big names in various industries coming out. I also really like that his gayness apparently isn't a big "thing" in his book, he casually mentions it.  We need more successful gays to come out and not let their sexuality become their only image - while it's an interesting and important part of it, it's not everything, and often not the largest part.

[Aparturum]

first ;-) congrats

[xypowerpop]

@Aparturum heh, thanks :-)
