| There is little to describe. I keep myself in top physical shape and eat a healthy diet, without red meat or alcohol. I am very skilled in valuable trades, I've served as a banquet chef at a luxury hotel, a master carpenter and one of my hobbies is to do 3d computer simulations for clients here and abroad. I attended prep schools and crossed the Atlantic twice before I was 18, I've seen the world. The rest is up to you to write.

I am expressing my disapproval of the new "mouse over" feature. Why would the CM gods want to muddle communication by allowing messages to be read without actually clicking on them? Does it represent the conversational equivalent of ignoring someone? I hear you but I give no reaction..? |

Are not laws dangerous which inhibit the passions? Compare the centuries of anarchy with those of the strongest legalism in any country you like and you will see that it is only when the laws are silent that the greatest actions appear.
-Donatien Alphonse de Sade and also this: I've already told you: the only way to a woman's heart is along the path of torment. I know none other as sure.
Titillating, possibly, but to me the words gather more depth when cast against the events of the period. Not far from my home, in 1773 - the same year Sade took his wife - somewhere between 30 and 130 men, thinly disguised as Mohawk Indians, dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston harbor...times, to say the least, were changing. |

Some people are so dam random, I almost envy them in their blissful ignorance. It's like they go around, shooting from the hip - never hitting anything, of course, but I think that's the point. Content to be discontent, so to speak. And adieu to you too, you loverly hip shooters.

It appears it is time for my annual journal entry. Short one this time around, just wanted to comment on how the term "dude" is entering the vernacular. While I may be a bit of a spelling/grammar nazi, apparently I have a fetish for colloquialisms. I especially enjoy how the term is losing its gender bias, expect a cool (as in chilled) response if you try to highbrow me for using it.

Okaaay so, I kind of thought this goes without saying, but apparently I need to be specific. I absolutely refuse to demonstrate any measurable depth of character until at least the fourth message. (Yes two from me and two from you count, but just so you know, I am not real big on those anal "bean counter" types.)
Back to the character thing. That means: no real concern for anything deep, no smarmy eulogizing and no empathetic outpouring, among other things. What you'll get is a courteous (usually) and original introduction, some tongue in cheek pontification and my fleeting but capturable attention.
If you take the time to come to understand me, not only will you get it, you will likely approve.
Above all, I do not log here to be especially serious, or mean. My life has far too much of that already and this is kind of like a break from the madding crowd.
I know I seem stern, I prefer to call it obtuse.

Some of these profiles are so amazing, colorful back rounds, strange composition or make-up or tattoos - like these people really want to stand out from the crowd. Not another species, but kind of like "human+."
Maybe that demonstrates the trick for the times one wants to fit in: to portray oneself as different and unique.

You just got to love those deaf, Native American girls. The rank naivety amongst the scammers is refreshing. Get this: Native American does not mean "born in America," like Native Nigerean might mean "born in Niger."
Native Americans used to be called "Indians." I think Christopher Columbus started that because that was where he was really trying to go (India) and since the indigenous people were dark complected in a similar way to the people of India, his blind exuberance set the precedent.
Now we know that the skin develops dark pigmentation as a response to generations of "excessive" exposure to the sun and cultural minorities generally like to be redefined every so often. At least according to this natively born, with the smallest percentage of actual Native American blood, American.

I wish CM had a rating system, like eBay. Then we could sort of give each other a heads up. I can see it now, instead of - or in addition to - the no picture, no response profile entries, people would write, "don't expect a response if you have over 4 strikes or less than a 90% positive feedback rating."

Oh and by the way girls, I so love profiles that lament receiving phallic images. I mean really, get a clue. There are so many ways to top from the bottom. The men that employ that technique don't give a whit about what you prefer. They know what kind of submission they seek and for you to put up any sort of resistance to that "offense" means you are not it. So think twice about what you communicate.

I must say that, if nothing else, one has the opportunity to encounter the most exquisitely kinked out personalities here at CM.

So what is up with this Kindle thing from Amazon? Did I just wake up in a Ray Bradbury novel? I mean wtf, is it supposed to kindle, our imagination or something? I imagine the entire recorded history of human culture being reduced to ones and zeroes -- don't anyone turn the power off. Is it any small coincidence that the name is also a reference to Fahrenheit 451?

If you have read this far and don't realize that everything in this journal is tongue-in-cheek - or in the case of this next entry - "tooth in cheek," I feel for you. If anyone actually is this serious, they need to get over themselves. However, the one thing every good joke has in common is a kernel of truth. That said...I should like to have gold teeth in this life or the next. It probably won't work in this life, because the practice has to be done in context. There is something brutally honest about gold teeth. No annuities, no splits, no offshore accounts. If somebody wants your life savings, they will have to carve it out of your jaw.
See in other cultures, cultures that appear less civilized; things aren't as spread around, as vague. Where I live, if an AIG executive gets a kickback, it is alternatively robbing the national treasury or business as usual, depending on the interpretation. Out in the desert, where the meter is running on the camel, somebody is going to pay up, or they are going to get a tooth knocked out, it's as simple as that.
In these simpler cultures, men store their life savings in their mouths. Perhaps their teeth are already rotted, but I doubt they wait. You see it in pictures from Iraq. In images of Bedouins and pirates. Old men grinning glittering El Dorado's. I wonder if the practice is the source of the "grill thing" I started to notice a few years back...
