Wow, I guess I have been busy... I fell in a rut of working 12+ hours a day for the last 6-8 weeks and have not had time to think.
What have I missed?

Wonder twin powers, activate! Up, Up and away! Shazzam!
Uh, not much to say. I made it back from North Carolina in one piece. Despite my fears of getting manhandled by a redneck while listening to banjo music, I return with my virtue intact.
There was not much to do there. I went running a couple times. The last run was at midnight - it was 48 degrees, and I was hauling ass. It was my fastest time for 3 miles in a year, since I was prepping for the last marathon. Amazing how inspirational freezing your nuts off can be. I tried to go kiting one, but the wind died as soon as I got to the park.
Speaking of kiting, I just went out last weekend for my first time this year. It was impromptu; I just happened to have a kite in the car when I was going to the park with a friend. I wasn't really paying attention when a big gust hit, so I got picked up, dragged 10 feet, and dumped on my head. I got whiplash and couldn't hold my head up for a couple days. My neck and shoulders are still a little stiff 6 days later. The kite I had with me is my biggest one, about 15 feet wide, 3 feet "tall". It is a very efficient parafoil design so it is quite powerful at that size. I got thrown like a rag doll. I was green from head to toe with grass stains, that in fact got inside my clothes. The inside of my collar, about 8 inches deep, and even my undershirt were green. My friend just said "That was cool!" as I writhed in pain on the ground.
I may or may not have a date tonight, waiting for confirmation. Otherwise I may go terrorize the other local bloggers/chat-roomers again.

Why do you give head? Really.

I think most people can understand why oral sex is so highly regarded. It's personal, intense, and overwhelmingly pleasurable. If not, you are doing it wrong! [blog Dchoney74] had a hot post about her love of giving head, which I took to be a bit of an advertisement to get BJ-happy men like me to read her blog.
I'm a bit conflicted about the issue of giving and receiving oral. Of course I love both giving and getting, and I daresay my generous talents are always appreciated, but I'm concerned about attitudes of enforced reciprocity. We always hope it will be mutual when we give good head, but really, it is a gift, isn't it? And I'm not talking about general foreplay, but a thorough and complete trip down town.
You are giving someone else pleasure and taking no personal pleasure beyond the joy of seeing your partner in ecstasy. If you are genuinely altruistic then perhaps that is good enough for you, but true altruism is not only rare, but actually ethically unbalanced. Hey, I'm glad you altruists are out there, but I think more than likely you are just lying to get laid.
So then, we do probably expect, or at least hope, that our enthusiastic oral efforts will be repaid by an equally exceptional experience. Perhaps not oral, but something special for our pleasure. But should it be tit for tat? Do you expect the recipient of your tongue lashing to immediately return the favor?
It seems rather foolish to think someone who has just had their mind blown (among other things) is going to be in any condition to deliver as grand an experience in return, so it is probably in our best interest to not demand immediate reciprocation. I don't think keeping score is a good idea in a long term relationship, either.
So what then , you must be asking, do I recommend? Well, accept the fact that what goes around comes around, and just give the gift of great head whenever the mood strikes, with no expectations. Enjoy, as I do, the thrill and accomplishment of making someone's eyes roll up in their head as they come harder than they previously thought possible. Then get on with the nookie!

I was thinking about this poem a few days ago, and after [blog _safira] decided to post one of his poems I thought I had better post this one before someone beats me to it.
When I was in about the 10th grade my English class had to do a group project to present a poem of our choice. My team, 2 boys and one girl, goofed off for most of the time we were supposed to be working on the project and at about the last minute I suggested we give an interpretation of this e.e. cummings poem. Basically, read it aloud, with feeling! So the girl read the "said she" lines, and the other guy on the team read the "said he" lines, alternating, in front of the class, while I cracked up in the corner. I don't think we got any comments at all, mouths were just agape. We all got As! Brilliant!
And somehow I think that moment has somehow influenced my entire life. Hmmm...

I'm not sure exactly why, but I have the overwhelming urge to do something entirely unwholesome. Maybe it is days on end of being polite to people and being on my best manners, or perhaps I am just on a backlash from having been sick and inactive all week. Either way, I feel like I need to watch 6 hours of really twisted porn or something. Which is odd, because I would generally get bored by such an activity and walk away long before 6 hours elapsed.
Maybe it's just my time of the month. I think I need to get in some trouble one way or another. Any ideas?

The ground rules

I spent a little time thinking about my preferences when I first joined this site, and came up with some simple ground rules. While I do have a tendency toward dominance, I am fairly neutral and have none of the more extreme fetishes often closely associated with BDSM, particulary the ones associated with humiliation, which I neither wish to cause nor experience. I also am not turned on by pain, outside of a playful spanking, but easier to just rule it all out. I thought I could sum up the rules with the 3 Ps.
No Pee
No Poop
No Pain
Then I met a fellow member who brought to my attention that I had neglected Puke in my list. Christ, is that even on the menu? No thank you!
So, list amended:
No Pee
No Poop
No Pain
No Puke
And then I started getting propositioned by men. One of them even claiming to be straight. As I have said many times in my life, I have known since I was a young boy that I prefer girls. I had 3 girlfriends by age 6, and first tasted the fine flesh of a girl's lovely bits before I was old enough to know what I was licking. Too bad for her!
At any rate, list amended again:
No Pee
No Poop
No Pain
No Puke
No Penis
This list of mine came to mind because I was questioned by a new friend on my preferences. In all seriousness, she wanted to know if I had any tendency to being a crossdresser. Well, I do love Eddie Izzard, but, no, I have never had an interest in wearing women's clothing. And the world thanks me for it!
That brings me to today's amendment:
No Pee
No Poop
No Pain
No Puke
No Penis
No Pumps
The last addition is a little vague, I guess, because of course my partner is allowed to wear whatever shoes she is comfy in. She just can't ask me to wear them!
So there we have it, the SIX Ps. I am sure someone is going to come up with something nasty they want to do to me just to make me come up with another P. So, take your best shot!

V for Verisimilitude

That's like Veracity, but different.
I forgot I saw V for Vendetta last week. It was pretty good, too, but won't have a cult following like The Matrix. The story was fairly interesting, a dark, anti-hero type takes fairly extreme measures to save his country from the rule of a tyrant. Natalie Portman was likable as his unwitting assistant. Hugo Weaving was unrecognizable as V, and not only because of the mask - I couldn't really recognize his voice, either.
There were some interesting parallels that could be drawn against current goings on, with The Patriot Act and neo-McCarthyism, but V's world was far more dark than anything other than what a total left-wing nutbag would paint in a twisted, liberal version of reality. The Inside Man, as reviewed yesterday, had more meaningful political implications.
I am glad I saw V, once, but I do not think it is something I will be wanting to watch repeatedly. It was just not that entertaining.

I took the train back to hell, er, I mean Jersey, today. NYC was not as much fun as it could have been because I have this awful cold. I have been hacking and coughing for a week now and it just won't end. Gasp! Wheeze!
As usual, fuck all to do in NJ, so I went to the movies. I didn't know the schedule so I just picked one starting soon. It turned out to be a good choice. The Inside Man was a decent heist flick. A nice change of pace for Spike Lee. It still had his usual social commentary but it was not overbearing. His overly technical cinematography worked well here, too, helping to set the emotional stage. I think David Mamet's Heist was better for twists and turns but Spike Lee still managed to make The Inside Man fun. I even want to see it again to figure out how one of the characters knew something and who everyone was.
My weekend in NYC was uneventful. Blind Date #2 and I walked around central park and went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is on the Eastern edge of the park, then back to Times Square to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe. That was my one touristy compromise. I HATE tourist traps like the Empire State Building. My cold/cough was a bit of an annoyance, somewhat reducing the romantic atmosphere. I dunno what will happen with us, but I'm not ruling anything out yet. It was certainly my strangest second date!

Wrapped around my finger

So, one of the side effects of being a decent writer and having seen practically every romantic movie ever made is that I am one charming bastard. Don't take that as me being immodest. I know it to be true, and to be completely manipulative, and yet I can't help using it to my advantage. On more than one occasion I have charmed a woman out of her pants only to hear her later wonder aloud how the hell she got herself in that situation. Likewise I have also used this to gain the genuine love and affection of a prospect. Usually to get in her pants, too, but occasionally just because it was what I wanted or needed at the time. And now and then it makes me feel guilty.
BlindDate #2, as she will remain being named, is completely wrapped around my finger. She is eating up every word that I say, write, or type, and is in a complete, genuine titter. I am almost willing to bet she will confess her love for me inside a week. You are probably thinking that is just the process of wooing a woman, but dude, that's fucked up.
I actually do like her - she has most of the qualities I am looking for in a partner - and I do want to get to know her, but maybe I need to tone it down a notch. Poor girl doesn't know what hit her. And I don't know if I am doing this because I want this particular relationship to work out or because I am lonely and latching on to the first viable candidate. Or worse yet, doing it just because I can. I don't like to think of myself as being that kind of weasel.
What makes me uncomfortable is that I am not sure I am ready to handle the serious relationship that will inevitably fall out of this hard-press courtship. I joined this site with the thought of having a less serious relationship (or 3) but I am potentially returning to my old habits. I met this one elsewhere, so I can't yet judge where she fits on the scale of sexual liberation. If that were not a factor for me I probably would not be here.
And there are other women in play, too. Do I learn the lesson from my past and not close any of those doors this time, or do I just try to focus on reeling in this fish and see if I am happy with it?

I'm going through with the weekend trip with BlindDate #2. She is going to fly up to NYC and spend the weekend in Manhattan with me. Our second date. Most people are telling me we're nuts. Or worse! That may be, but the wheels have been set in motion and this will go down as a spectacular failure or glowing success, one way or the other.
It really isn't even that expensive. My company pays for the hotel since I had to be there anyway, and the flight from DC to NYC is about as much as a decent night on the town (same as we spent on our first date, essentially). It's just a little dramatic. Well, maybe more than a little.
We're not total strangers at this point. We've spent 3 hours a day on the phone, and countless emails and text messages, so we have a reasonable idea about who each other is. This event will be a trial by fire, though. If we can survive 36 hours in the Big Apple, we might just be okay.
So, the over/under at # of condoms used is... kidding, no betting allowed!
And please, no more naysaying. Gimmie good vibes, 'cause I am in it either way.

I found out today I need to be in NYC Friday for a meeting. I was planning to see BlindDate #2 Friday, so now I have to figure out how to arrange my travel. I started thinking, wouldn't it be cool to bring her up to the city to hang out? Well, I looked in to it, and it is actually very pricey at the last minute like this, but I mentioned the possibility to her while we were talking on the phone, and she said, sure, that could be arranged! Uh oh.
So now I have this adventure to plan. Keep in mind this is a second date. With someone I had spoken with for all of 5 minutes before the first date. I think something in my brain has malfunctioned.
I'm going to have to think this thing over for a while. Spontaneous is good, but this may just be over the top.
What do you say? You only live once? Would you go?

Just can't wait to get... oh, screw that. I don't want to go back to Jersey. Time to pack up and get gone.
I'm looking forward to it even less this week because blind date #2 went rather well. I did end up missing my friend's band play, but Safira caught the show so at least there was one fan in the audience. My evening turned in to a nearly 10 hour long date that didn't involve any sex whatsoever. Can you imagine? I didn't know I had that much to say!
My voice is getting a little hoarse from coughing. Not sure what the deal is there. I hope I didn't catch any cooties out at the meet-n-greet!
Passion . com made some changes to allow easier access to the site from mobile devices, but in doing so eliminated my ability to blog from the phone. I think I may be able to get through if I use the Opera browser, but that's a hassle and it is unstable. Expect less blogging while traveling.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Damn I sure look fine!
I can't blame those horny [girls],
I would make me mine!
- Pink "Respect"
That verse always cracks me up!
Note that I had to change the line from "boys" to "girls" so I didn't give the wrong impression to the men out there. Speaking of which, if you guys insist on sending me pictures of your penis, at least let it be something that will impress me. I can't imagine even a gay man thinking much of those li'l winkies. No, this is not an invitation for you to TRY to impress me.
Preparing for blind date #2. We're going to dinner but I was considering taking her out to see my friend's band play afterwards. My friend just called to warn me that he invited some of my ex's friends and that they are going to go. How awkward is that for a first date? Damn, I really would have liked to see them play, too.
How's that for a Catch-22? If the date sucks I can ditch her and go see the band - but I really shouldn't be thinking that way, should I? The glass is half full! The glass is half full! The glass is half full! Oh, fuck it. Who drank half my water?
