New year. New start. Still dismayed and disillusioned with the whole thing as it seems quite artificial and almost childlike. But I imagine that's all part of a free website. You get what you pay for.
I don't care if you are single or married, on your own or involved. I don't judge. Let's be adult about this.
And I'm one who could care less that the second 50 Shades of Grey movie is coming out in two months. |
| |
| |
|
|
Is it just me or does it seem to other Dominant men that you find women in the general populatIon who claim to be submissive? It's somewhat fascinating. The whole 50 Shades thing brought it out of the woodwork.
But, if you subtly pry, you'll find that the vast majority have very little clue of the true inner workings of D/S. They probably never will.
in an experience I had a few months ago with a woman who wanted to be tied up, all she could do was complain of the discomfort of the ropes and believe me, the ropes were nowhere near tight. While safety is paramount, the mood of the evening was gone.
But it is interesting to say the least in the dichotomy between submissive in a lifestyle versus submissive due to a series of books and soon movies. |

Today is my birthday. I don't say that in order to get wishes or greetings. To me, it's just another day. Age is a number.
But, it does give me pause to reflect on this whole D/s thing. It is unfortunate that this life choice attracts so many that are simply fooling around or keep it all fantasy. Combined with those of both genders that are very unattractive and seem to have no semblance of having pride in their appearance, it is disheartening. I'm not full of self pity. Just sharing my observations.
Who know what the future brings. Hope springs eternal. We will see. |

A very poor man lived with his wife. One day, his wife, who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed.
The man felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken. She did not insist on her request.
The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife. He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife. He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short hair cut.
She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band. Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.
MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is something but to love and to be loved by the one you love,that is EVERYTHING.

Spanish Teacher
A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
"House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa."
"Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."
A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("el computador") because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves.
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time, they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The men's group, however, decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computadora") because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
Nobody is quite sure who won due to the lines of division. |

Making bad decisions is a part of life. Blaming others for your bad decisions is immature. |

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from yourself. |

I can't imagine how it must feel for a woman to go through a double mastectomy and wait for the pathology report to see if the cancer was all caught. In this past year, I now know two who have had to travel down this road. One age 39, the other 49.
For both, the pathology news was great; no spread into the lymph nodes. However, long roads for both and their families.

The Bammer Night Before Christmas:
‘Twas the night after Auburn
and all through the land,
not a “Roll Tide” was uttered
by a Crimsom Tide fan.
-
They used to be boisterous,
they used to be loud,
they used to be boastful,...
and cocky and proud.
-
But they lost all their swagger,
they lost all their swing.
For one little second
had changed everything.
-
The score it was even.
The clock had run dry.
When Nicholas Saban
then started to cry.
-
He demanded a second
be put on the clock.
The worse that could happen?
A miss or a block.
-
But fate it is fickle,
and greed has a price,
and what happened next
just wasn’t too nice.
-
The previous kicks,
wide left and wide right.
So he put in a rookie,
'twas not very bright.
-
The kick was a boomer
of 56 yards,
but the extra yard needed
was not in the cards.
-
And back in the end zone
a lone Tiger stood.
He caught that ol’ football,
he caught it real good.
-
He started to run,
he heard the cheers grow.
The Crimson Tide offense?
Too fat and too slow.
-
One hundred and nine
he ran for a score.
If needed he could have
run one hundred more
-
The crowd it erupted
while storming the field.
The Crimson Tide’s season
was settled and sealed.
-
A cry of “War Eagle”
soon echoed the plain.
Nick Saban’s expression
was one of pure pain.
-
And up in Ohio
they shouted "Go Bucks"
It gave hope to many
except Gators and Ducks.
-
And in Tuscaloosa
you could hear a pin drop.
And in Tallahassee
a tomahawk chop.
-
For the night after Auburn
the Tide does not roll.
The new boss in town
wears garnet and gold!!! |

It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.

I'll tell you... going to a Mardi Gras ball and getting an up close and personal look at the parade and floats, while fun, is also painful. Getting pelted three times in the head with beads damn hurts. I suppose I shouldn't complain as a Dominant, but those strings are wicked when not tossed with loft!
Next year, perhaps I will include a hard hat with the formal attire. :) |

Not a bad way to recharge the batteries after a week in the northwoods. Sounds brisk for all those south of the Mason-Dixon line, but it was great colors, temps around 70 and lots of open space and blue skies. Nothing quite like the stars on top of you, accompanied by a full moon.

Will someone tell Kirk Cameron that his career was over a long, long time ago? After appearing on CNN and saying that due to his beliefs, he does not support gay marriage and homosexuality as unnatural, he had a couple co-stars from his old show come out with opposite views. It's way overdue to have us stop bickering about what's right and what's not. People are people, no better or worse, than the next.

Some will call me crazy for leaving the Mardi Gras season to head north about 1,200 miles and spend a few days in 30-40 degree weather. But, of course, it did not bother me. It felt good to be in familiar places, like putting on an old coat that will always fit you perfectly. Now, back to reality and real life. I look forward to what the future holds. |

While most are enjoying the Carnival season (got a couple of invites to some prime viewing for Uptown Krewe parades but alas can't take advantage of them), I am heading out of town for a week for a respite and time with family and friends.

I had a conversation with an old friend within the "life" a couple nights ago. She brought up a point that she has been feeling for quite a while. That is, that because she is not with someone, she is missing out. I asked her if that meant she was jealous or envious of others who say they are either with someone, married, etc. At first, she said no, but then she admitted she did. I told her I bet many feel the same way she does, that perhaps that leads to bad decisions or to leap into something (or someone) too soon. She agreed -- but yet, still admitted her envy. I told her, we're all only human so it's natural to feel that way if you want the same thing so badly. Then, of course, she asked me the same thing and I said no, honestly I did not feel that way with others. I would be happy for them. Envy is a destructive, nasty emotion. It serves no purpose. Good thoughts and good feelings should attract and bring about good people, good times and good relationships. Whether in a lifestyle or not. |

Ever find that work sometimes soothes the savage beast? It did for me today. That means I got much accomplished and kept my mind busy, so busy that it seems no thoughts except work-related, went through my head. Good for my employer. Not so good for moi. All work and no play... |

One of those weeks where it is only Monday and it seems like there won't be getting much done. One step forward and two steps back. And, it's only January! Oh well, nothing major, after all the positive side is that at least I'm taking steps.

It's going to be a fantastic 2012. The mindset is there. I have much going in positive, productive directions. I have so much for which to be thankful and grateful. And, I am. I know my priorities are in order. I know I have grown in the last year. Love, laugh, live and learn.
Be nice to one another. |

Spoke to an old friend of mine, a submissive who moved to Texas a year ago. She sounded down, missing her family and friends back home, and also being mini-terrified in trying to drive around the area in which she lives and works. She sounds trapped. I wish I knew of ways to help her. It has to be a sick feeling. |

My son left early this morning. After he walked into the airport to catch his flight, I stood there staring at the door long after he went in. Suddenly, it hit me. I visually realized... that he was now a man. Still always will be my little boy, but he's grown so much. Wow. It was a very nice, unexpected Christmas present. |
| |
| |
|
|
This will be my first Christmas spent outside of my native state of origin. Strange, and yet not so. I may actually play golf on Christmas Day! My son is coming to visit for a couple of days, so that's the topper to my Christmas tree. I hope all have a similar "top" as that. |
| |
| |
|
|
Ugh... nothing like struggles with the Christmas tree lights. One doesn't work, they all don't work. Now I'm being stubborn and refuse (for now) to try a different string. I'm determined to make these work. Where there is a will, there is a way, even with holiday lights.
But whoever invented these types of lights... sadist... heh heh. |

Season's Beatings -- that was a phrase I saw in an email someone sent me a few years ago. She loved the saying, said it reminded her of being wrapped in red ribbon and then spending hours feeling the sting of the crop and flogger. I asked, "hours?" She replied, "it seems as such."
A female submissive wrapped in red ribbon. How nice it would be to find that under a Dominant's tree. |

I've found that the P90X program has very much paid off. Pants are looser (not that they were that tight to begin with), feel great and when you have that "good sore," you know you're working out the right way. Being healthy and doing healthy things is the only way to go.... |

Is there anything better than classic rock? I'm usually not a CR listener in the evening after a busy workday. However, I flicked it on after working out and tonight it has been one great tune after another, quite a few from bands I've seen live. Not a bad way to end a Monday evening.
Start me up! Play it, Keith... |

Been a while since I journal entried -- it's been a busy time and of course, we all get busier during the holidays. I'm glad I'm not a shopper. Online works just fine for me. Family came to visit and I've arranged for a trip back to the Midwest for Christmas. I need to get a little snow time in.
With this being the holiday season, I am constantly reminded of having the attitude of gratitude. Sometimes, it always isn't so easy, but for me, it is much more of a habit now. It's a great habit to have. I would highly suggest it. |
| |
| |
|
|
I've read lately, and believe in the phrase "have an attitude of gratitude." I think it has become more appropriate given the state of the economy these past two to three years. While there is nothing wrong with wanting or wishing for more, perhaps "more" will come, or come easier, if the attitude is correct? |

Ever wonder about all the stuff you've lost over a lifetime? Where did it go? How could I have misplaced that?
My favorite baseball glove -- my favorite wooden bat... man 34" 32 oz pice of timber gold. I could smoke a pitch with that thing. All the socks that left a twin orphan behind.
Lately -- it's been the plastic strainer I've had for years, my black sports jacket, and for God's sakes will someone tell me where my spare car key set is????

While working out this morning...
Three words came to my mind. I'm not sure why, but they did. Perhaps the adrenaline or the endorphines?
Drive -- the drive to be your very best, to do your very best and to expect the very best. That book I'm re-reading is rubbing off on me!
Passion -- having passion for everything you do. Even as I typed this, I was finishing a piece of leftover pizza. I realized now just how good it tasted. I can taste it in my throat and in my memory. Sounds weird, but true.
Belief -- believe fully and totally, almost child-like, in what you want, need and desire. What you achieve or experience is a direct reflection on how to look upon yourself and life.
No matter what lifestyle you choose, or what role you play, they relate to everyone. |

I PROMISE MYSELF
to be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
to talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet.
to make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
to look at the sunny side of everything and make optimism come true.
to think only of the best, to work for only the best and to expect only the best.
to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
to wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
to give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
to think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
to live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

The Dash
I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth...
And now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own; the cars .... the house... the cash.
What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard ... are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left. (You could be at "dash mid-range")
If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real,
And always try to understand the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more,
And love the people in our lives like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile...
Remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy's being read with your life's actions to rehash...
Would you be proud of the things they say about how you spend your dash?? |
Thank you, Justi...

Saw this in a profile and thought it struck as resonating with some, if not most:
"I've been offered the moon so often, I think I'll change my name to NASA."
Sometimes, humor just makes things a little bit better... |

Is there a difference between intoxicating and toxic? Seems like there should be. One word draws vision of heads swimming and being a bit of balance (or just plain smashed), while the other brings up the symbol for radiation.
In D/s, one can be intoxicating, yet toxic to another. Would you agree? |

Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on
And before you know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friend's face
For life is a swift and terrible race
He knows I like him just as well
And in the days when I rang his bell
And he rang mine but we were younger then
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game
Tired of trying to make a name
'Tomorrow' I say! I will call on Jim
Just to show I'm thinking of him.
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes
And distance between us grows and grows
Around the corner, yet miles away
'Here's a telegram, Sir,' 'Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end
Around the corner a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
SEIZE THE DAY -- NEVER HAVE REGRETS |

ABC's of BDSM
(Q-Z)
QUEST to be better for Him, to always perservere,
RESPECT and honor will rule your life, all doubt will disappear,
SURRENDER to His will; He knows what?s best for you,
TOTAL surrender and obedience, the word He speaks is true.
UNBOUND by ropes and chain, your bondage is in your mind,
VALUE his discipline and training; these are the ties that bind,
WORSHIP your Master at all times, show you really care,
XRAY your mind and search your soul, a vision will appear.
YEARN to learn every day, there?s always sometime to discover,
?Z? is the Master you chose to serve, your best friend and your lover.

A poem from another website I wanted to share
Slowly and gently.
Soft as the wind.
Our body's combined to make next of kin
Tossing and turning.
Gasping for air.
or slowly and surely, we soon will be there
Back and forth, and deeper within.
And soon we'll both come, again and again.
Over and over, above and beyond.
The feeling so good.
The sensation never gone.
And after a while, you'll scream not once, but twice.
For every jerk, twitch, and tingle will feel twice as nice.
With our body's combined all through the night.
I'll go down below, and duck out of sight.
I'll give you a pleasure that's never been seen.
A pleasure so pure and ever so clean.
With my arms wrapped around you, ever so tight.
I'll hold in the warmth. and keep out the fright.
With lips on your neck.
And hands by your side.
Our body's erect, as they stand with great pride
Our thoughts then emerge, and flood with emotion.
Your body gets hot, as I rub on the lotion.
I then start to kiss you.
From your head to your toes.
Stooping at places like, well, you know.
I'd then work my lips slowly down.
Moving my tongue in, and around.
So hot and passionate, you'll work up a sweat.
So deep and intense, it will get you wet.
And at the end, when it's all said and done.
We'll do it again, for the thrill, or just for the fun |

What Will Matter
Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end.
It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.
Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.? So, what will matter?
How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.
What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.
What will matter are not your memories,
but the memories that live in those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance, but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.

THE ABC'S OF BDSM (I-P)
IDOLIZE and adore him, your Master should come first
JUDGE not anyone else, because life is unrehearsed
KNEEL at his feet and always know your place
LOYALTY to Master will earn his warm embrace.
MANAGING your time is key, to fulfill his every need
NEVER lose sight that he comes first and you will succeed
OBEDIENCE to your Master is the way to show your worth
PLEASING Him completely will give you spiritual rebirth.

Pain leads to making bad decisions.? Fear of pain -- accelerates that process.

In memory of when I was once married...
I miss my wife's cooking -- as often as possible!
|
| |
| |
|
|
"I'm not overweight... I'm just 6" too short!"
|
| |
| |
|
|
There are two groups of people in this world:? those that accomplish things and those that take the credit.? Try to be in the first group -- there is much less competition there.
|
| |
| |
|
|
There's nothing quite like the sound of thunder.? The slow, quieter rumble in the distance, building up volume as it gets closer and closer.? Mother Nature keeps reminding us of who is really in charge.? While it may frighten some, for me it provides a calm, an inner peace.? Call me crazy, but thunder is a wonder...
|
| |
| |
|
|
You are what you think about.? Had a tougher year last year and I can think back to all the time I spent being negative, worrying.? I guess that is human nature.? I've bounced back, relocated to a new area.? Believe me, being positive is much, much better!
|
| |
| |
|
|
Sign I saw at a restaurant:? Eat Now, Pay Waiter... clever
|
| |
| |
|
|
This is my first taste of seeing homeless people on a regular basis.? Driving around the freeways or bypasses and seeing people with signs held up, asking for food and/or work.? It's like a cold slap in the face.
But hey, Larry King helped raise $2.1 million last night during his show for the victims of the Gulf oil spill.? Man, I hope that money really does get into the hands of those who need it.

If love is blind.... why is lingerie so popular?
|
| |
| |
|
|
The heat felt good today, radiating up from the ground.? Something about it for me, just makes me feel that much more alive.? A friend of mine told me to keep my eye out for any tropical depression coming off the coast of Africa.? That's what we need to watch for hurricane season.? Life certainly is interesting.
|
| |
| |
|
|
You are what you think about.? What you think about attracts others on your same wavelength, like a radio station sending out signals and you tune in to get the music.? What frequency are you on? :)
|
| |
| |
|
|
I had a great time going out with colleagues after work.? Nothing much better than a happy hour that last three hours!? Thank the universe someone invented gin n tonic. :)
|
| |
| |
|
|
Remember to remember -- it seems so simple and yet it resonates.? Being a Master of one's own thoughts seems also simple, yet with the distractions, messages, lights, electronics, visual and audio overload that bombards each of us, it is no wonder that mastering thought, feeling and vision is a difficult thing, but yet something that can make your life meaningful, with fuller purpose and direction.
|
| |
| |
|
|
I have had the pleasure of reading a great book.? It is eye opening, talking about the law of attraction.? What you want in life is what you think about.? The natural course of life and the universe is to attract what you think about.? Think positive and positive things will happen.? Be happy and be love.? What tremendous, yet simple, words of wisdom.

I had a great trip down with my son.? It was three days of being together with nothing distracting either one of us.? Great communication and sharing.? It was awesome to hear more about his dreams, goals and aspirations.? I'm very proud of him!
