Breaking news, Tim Cook (the CEO of Apple, who took over after Steve Job’s left us) is gay.

Wow, I’m completely shocked.

I honestly thought he was gay and had been out of the closet.

Can I let some of these guys into a secret, we already know.  Ian Thorpe, Tom Daly, Anderson Cooper and that guy from Savage Garden.

The breaking news would be if any of those guys came out as being straight or bisexual.

If anyone would like to read the article from Tim Cook.  He does mention how ‘proud’ he is to be gay, although yesterday he wasn’t really proud enough to share it – click here.

I suppose I am sounding a little synical, I support anyone who wants to come out of the closet in whatever manner they choose.  I also support anyone who wants to stay in the closet as well.

Tomorrow, part 1 of telling you guys about Kip’s last night in Australia (with Tim, Alex and yours truly).

Since I don’t think there are any speedo pics of Tim Cook, although he is a fitness nut so I think he could look pretty good in a speedo I thought I’d look for some celeb speedo photos.  More celebs have come out of the closet than have come out of the closet wearing a speedo.

I’ve created a topic over on the Speedo Forum (SpeedoForum.org) if you have any celeb speedo photos you’d like to share.

I think the hottest speedo celeb in recent times has to be David Beckham, he talks like an 8yo girl but he looks great and he wore a white speedo!!!

I don’t think Jerry O’Connell has ever made anything more than a B-Grade movie but I love his speedo style!!!

If I was going home each night to Nicole Kidman I’d stay off the booze, stop being a loose Keith Urban, you have to be one of the luckiest guys on the planet!!!  Good work sporting a speedo for us though!!!

There really aren’t that many pics of modern celebs wearing speedos.  There are a bunch of European and South American soccer players in their speedos but I don’t know any of them.  Here are a couple of older celebs…..

The Hulk….. he looks comfortable in a speedo.

Tom Selleck is another old guy who would have been sporting a speedo no probs.

And the last one…… Rod Stewart.  There are some pics of Rod Stewart recently on a huge yacht wearing a white speedo but the pics were just horrible quality.  No matter what Rod Stewart wore I’m sure it was cool.

What a sad day with the news of Robin Williams.  He was someone that was a staple growing up.

I once had a business mentor who outwardly seemed like the happiest guy ever.  He had a beautiful family, he had a small marketing business which was hard work but doing OK and I found out years later that he suffered from depression in a big way.  The last person I would have expected.

I suppose I get stressed and down sometimes but I don’t think I understand what people with depression really go through.  Particularly this community is vulnerable to some pretty big issues with coming out and family.

Feel free to share your comments on this.

On to more positive things, guess who is taking Friday afternoon off work?  Alex…..  What do you guys think that the three of us speedo boys should get up to?

Walkabout refers to a rite of passage where male Australian Aborigines would undergo a journey during adolescence and live in the wilderness for a period as long as six months

I often go walkabout, not for six months, when I want to think about things.  Growing up on the coast whenever I was upset about something,  in a bit of trouble or didn’t have enuf money I’d go walkabout on the beach for a few hours and I’d always feel better when I got back.  I’m not sure if it was the exercise or just the time thinking but it is something that works for me.
