April 2014 note ... One of my hobbies, as I find time, is collecting hockey jerseys (tops, sweaters, maillot, maglia, trikot, matchtr?, pelipaita, etc.) from around the world, a habit that started during my playing days. I lost an extensive archive of pictures and deions of them when my online database was lost so I am rebuilding it. Aside from my standard inventory pictures, I have been toying with the idea of taking the best favorites from my collection, pairing them with a suitable matched model, throwing in some serious skin or provocative pose, and building a private 'showing' of my collection (for e.g. I have a friend of Lithuanian ancestry with a stunning ass that would look great wearing my Lithuanian National Team jersey!). So I would love to hear from anyone interested in filling out a uniform for pictures [a collage of samples/examples added to my pictures]

I so rarely get back to this profile, but it's still here for when i might be getting back to south Jersey (as of now, spring/summer of 2015).?

?

much more active is my same-named FL profile

"Fleet Week" in NYC can certainly get annoying (hadn't thought of ahead of time) ... but at least now had the idea to check for internet cafes for connectivity

another Friday-Saturday in the 'big city' (NYC, not Philly) ... at least it's not like it's supposed to be hot and humid or anything!    well, some consideration for a lot of New Yorkers should be out of the city for the holiday weekend

maybe I'll get some writing done this weekend

some morning thoughts 'n' reflections:

   I first thought I was yet again in need of some more status updates (or truthfully, a profile overhaul), but I got to thinking about some of my recent interactions with people I've met through this site. I should go further to say interactions with people who have contacted me here, because with other things going on I had not thought much toward ... being in "pursuit mode."   And my recent enjoyments have come not from having appendages to restrain or three orifices to use, etc. Rather, I've been much more mentally (intellectually, educationally and curiosity) stimulated. I have exercised dominance remotely over distance on someone and her body, and also at another time found myself in an almost 4-hour debate/discussion on politics, economics, and the law with someone else, getting quite extensive & contentious (elevated to near yelling through phones). I hope very much that I have gained one new very good friend whether anything else ever comes of it or not (not that such contemplations are lacking ... on the contrary they have been very much stimulated). And it's not to dwell on vanilla pursuits, and especially not for the sake of the specific erotic interests related to a site such as this one, but I was just struck again by the idea of pursuing balance in things. As a vanilla relationship, lacking in all things considered kink, I think I suspect must almost certainly stagnate, I know from experience that no matter how intense sessions may be, the sheer physical attraction to using a body & 3 holes can quickly wane. The mental considerations of the things we do and pursuits we follow (such as on this site) ... I think sometimes they can slip the mind; I'm glad I've had reason to be reminded ... reminded not only of the minds that go with the bodies, but that the intensity of the minds can be as appealing of the smoking hotness of the bodies. A reminder lesson in pursuing both I'm glad I came across.

   well, that seemed to mess up most of my other pictures, but I did have the camera out to snap some shots of some hockey jerseys from my collection, and thought at the same time to add a few of my cabin (with emphasis on the overhead exposed ceiling beams!). 

   it is definitely spring cleaning time as commenced this weekend, including I need to get all of the patio furniture outside and back down the lake to the patio at the main family household.

   I could also welcome pointers in home-refurbishing ... ceiling panels ripped out in my bedroom as too much debris was falling through when recently had a new roof put on. The platform bed is my own design build, primarily to accommodate space by putting a small dresser underneath the bed ... but having a solid wood platform also allows for quite a number of possibilities !!!    especially when combined with the exposed rafters in the same room. There's even enough room under the platform (behind the dresser) to function as quarters for a kept slave (if I was focusing for now on such a full-tilt situation) !

   any suggestions I haven't thought of?

 ... I guess some time allowed for a bit of an update ...

Actually finding a little more free time, though with warm weather upon us I should be getting back to some labors around the 'estate.'   At least I did find some time to get out for socializing, albeit only on south Jersey side of the river; hopefully next should be getting out to some Philly events. Also lots of vanilla social things this month up & down mid-Atlantic, especially with Cherry Blossom festivals coming soon to D.C., Philly, and N.Y.C.

   of a more significant online status update ... It is now seeming more 'n' more likely that the issues for which I've been so anchored to the south Jersey estate for these few years are getting resolved (some for good ... other ...). This has been part of my having a scant little more free time of late. But also, it is seeming more 'n' more likely that I will be moving back down south, though details still extremely vague right now (more graduate-level academics in all probability), I could be relocating by mid-late summer, will have to see. But it pretty much means that while I'm getting more time on the social front, with still-uncertain future factors I'm still not expecting any active recruiting for slaves at the moment.

with so much needing to be caught up on, day off today is definitely welcome

added a collage to pictures to express how I could use a model for some of my hockey jerseys

Model wanted:   ...

   among my many interests, and in large part related to my time living in Europe pursuing (semi)pro sports, I have developed one of the best collections of European hockey uniforms to be found.  mostly jerseys/sweaters (or maillot, maglia, trikot, matchtröja, pelipaita, ... etc.), but also a number of full uniform pieces, including the ones outfitted with my name & number. I've been getting them into online galleries such as webshots, and also I occasionally trade or sell surplus ones in the pursuit of others.      I recently had occasion to notice that some people have done some wonderful picture shoots with attractive young girls wearing jerseys and what appears to be not much else. I think a number of the pieces in my collection should be furnished thus. now I just need to find the right tight ass to done them ...

that's the profile overhauled and tweaked for 2012 ... now what's next on my checklist ...

"[Auda Abu Tayi] will come [to Aqaba] ... because it is his pleasure."

Been quite swamped with other things lately, but had a moment that inspired some thoughts: Even though I have the DVD, when I was flipping through channels several nights ago I stumbled upon Lawrence of Arabia and I ended up leaving it on. Of course there are many great scenes that I can always think of, but I was especially struck with one scene in a new context. In this particular scene Lawrence and Sherif Ali (Peter O'Toole & Omar Sharif) aim to convince Auda (Anthony Quinn) to aid their attack of Aqaba. Auda has already established himself as a powerful of will character who can not be bought, bribed, ordered, extorted, ... etc. In fact, it is often his catchphrase that things are to transpire because it 'is his pleasure' that they do so. How simple a phrase, yet how exceedingly to the point. How summarily precise in establishing roles and defining of definitions. For that is a component of what I seek. Not (merely) in terms of physical pleasure, but that things should transpire as I preconceive. And also that should be the mindset of my ideal best submissive/slave. "For my pleasure." Should not my house me maintained to my suitability? If my muscles have been left tired from a strenuous wookout would an expertly soothing touch be ideal to unwind them? The scenarios I could speculate could go on and on. But what of the submissive's mindset; should she not seek opportunity to perform "for his pleasure."? What is the motivation for how the slave addresses her master or ends up bound in a certain position? Or how her mouth may be used? Or how her pubic hair is groomed or removed? Does she wonder to herself 'why is this happening?' or is there a complete lack of wonder because all answers that might be forthcoming from The Master can crystallize around "because it is my pleasure." and thus no other thought need be considered?   It seems Auda had a great mindset for life.

call this part B I guess ... my many interests cover a great spectrum, but another that for me can have a significant physical component is my fanatical interest to music. this goes back to childhood, and in fact the house I'm back to and fixing up was, during my high school years, a fully functioning recording studio, rehearsal space, and crash pad for the many bands and musicians I worked and performed with. my primary instrumental discipline? drums and percussion.   anything with a solid tempo. give me a swinging piece like Sing, Sing, Sing by The Benny Goodman Orchestra to a double-bass blast beat by a power metal band, and pretty much anything in between such as I can think of Paul Simon's Rhythm of the Saints, the orchestral bells and Timpani on Smashing Pumpkin's Disarm, or Björk's Human Behavior. And not just standard 'band' music, as I also love corps music (Highland Pipe 'n' Drums to Japanese Daiko), through to a great many classical composers. As I once heard someone remark "I'm tapping my foot so I must like it." ... so the physical element? what else do you do with music.   I've played so many pieces some many different places, been in numerous mosh pits at thrash shows, used to know many Ballroom steps (but am quite rusty now), and would like to get better at Swing Dance and learn Latin moves. so maybe this isn't as much inclined toward this website, but it is an expansion on my interests, and in a way elaboration on my priorities ... for I take the idea and recruiting & molding an ideal slave as a very almost-all-encompassing process, and one for which I don't anticipate sufficient time to devote to, yet I can certainly continue conversations and chat, and am always willing to discuss ideas (including others thoughts on D/s and related topics) and learn new things (and especially new entertainment suggestions)

I've had reason to consider further exploration and elaboration on my current situation (and part of my profile) for how I do and may devote my time (and for here, how my activities and experiences may incorporate others). so, in another part(s) ...

  ... part 1 ... it now seems that as I've been contemplating and planning things, especially the all-important calendar planning, I've considered some people I have talked with in the past or might either re-establish contact with or start up new correspondence with. Many high-priority goals I've been trying to account for are athletic-related, which is a field I've known so many people in over the years. My biggest foci are seeking to return to an elite level on the ice (can elaborate upon request, but briefly: my time spent in northern Europe was based around ice hockey - which has in part left me with a number of nagging-or-worse physical impairments), and I'm further aspiring for completion of a number of open-water swim races. Now I don't expect that many people are to be readily found with a great skill on skates, but for my swimming events ... one specific example date is in late March, and a companion that day would be great: maybe just a friend someone to hold onto all of my valuables at the race site from the parking area (I don't plan to take my cell phone or keys into the water) or snap some pictures crossing the finish line, ... but this particular race just happens to be basically within [endurance]swimming distance of Sandy Hook park (if you don't know it, can look on Wikipedia) and a companion of the right accommodating mind (i.e. members here) would have no reservations about relaxing on Gunnison beach afterward.    some other open-water races I'm anticipating for this summer are either in or near Atlantic City ... a companion who would have no hang ups about staying the night at one of the casinos could certainly be welcome ... particularly if she were skilled in massage (I'm anticipating that 'unwinding' would be most wonderful after multi-hour multi-mile swimming!)     ...     in short a slave certainly would fulfill complementary roles, but I don't see that a trained & kept status must be necessary in everything I may be inclined to do; some people might be willing to go along merely for the curiosity or friendship

so perhaps a little more elaboration, or rather clarification ...

I am not actively seeking immediate participation/activity. This is not for a lack of desire, but more for an acceptance of simple facts and current constraints. For example, I mentioned in my profile my aim to renovate part of my home including the installation of some dungeon-esque fixtures? This is a project that I reasonably anticipate taking six to nine  months, or even as many as 12 or more. That would be not only because I am doing it myself, and I have an attention to detail and patience to see things through to what I deem a minimum ideal, but also because of the many other things that often intrude on my time. It is much the same in my availability to pursue active participation in the lifestyle at the moment.

So why be on a site such as this? Well, always communication is intriguing; often informative and occasionally profitable. Perhaps I can learn some ideas for outfitting my environs for future activity that may not have occurred to me. Or someone could tell me about an upcoming event where a technique I seek to improve my skill in would be on demonstration. If someone wants to send me some pictures of some examples of ropework, I'm not likely to decline. I can fit in almost communication currently, even if it might often have to be delayed and not in real time. So that's one thing to look forward to on here.

For an example of how I have accepted someone in the role of a dungeon model before: I had a friend who was interested in experiencing bondage she had seen in media yet was uncertain about proceeding beyond anything platonic. We developed a system where we had progressing sessions to ease her into the ropes, and we facilitated her comfort level by a system of wardrobes for her where she would come to sessions already dressed in a minimal layer to silently indicate her comfort threshold for the session: at the beginning she wore a competition-level one-piece bathing suit in order to minimize the erotic shyness ...  this 'wardobe code' later progressed through to more alluring swimwear, to bra and panties underwear, and ultimately to sheer/lace string-tied lingerie with our pre-agreed limit being that covered regions would be subjected only to minor contact and manipulation. In our final sessions the string-tied nature of her lingerie indicated at that point I was empowered to remove any pieces as I desired during the session. Yet these sessions proceeded without any significant Dominance/submission aspect. Nor were any punishment implements introduced - mostly we kept it at manual petting & caressing with some occasional teasing 'punishment' like a slap on the buttocks. We had good times and she confirmed her desires for being bound, while at the same time confirming in herself that any true intimate submission, for her, was going to be based around a deeper intimacy. We ultimately ceased our modelling sessions when she found her later fiance (and though I have not had details since early in their relationship, she had indicated that their intimate lives were helped by the sessions we had had, though she was not entering into a D/s based relationship with her to-be husband).

Yet another friend I had once engaged my services to provide rope and camera work for her for nude bondage pictures before she moved to New Orleans (she was actually a Domme, though really only recreationally) ... as she was going to introduce herself to the scene there, she wanted to make sure she had some 'skin' pics. While they were all done on her camera, I still have some files she e-mailed me on my old, non-USB port computer. Unfortunately we have lost contact since before Katrina hit down there.
