Breathing

Sometimes when things are piling up, things get to hectic and confusion and worries mounts I have found that it usually helps to stop in my tracks and just breathe - deep, long and slow breaths.

In the old days Ars and I would sit down in the garden swing together. Just sitting there, focusing on breathing and being close together with the one you love always calmed me down immensely. After a while we always started talking, making sure we listened to what the other had to say, what was on their mind. We would breathe and talk, talk and breathe. Being together.

Nowadays my favorite "sitter-with" is Millimina. Even if she was busy today, she took the time to sit with me.

It´s good to have someone to breathe with.

Dressed To Kill

I am going to a wedding today. So I threw on my old family rags, the McMillan tartan.

This tartan was made to order for me by my dear friend Elle74 Zaftig, owner and designer of "Bellissima", the best tartan makers in SecondLife.

The best thing about a tartan is that you can wear it anytime and anywhere and always be appropriately dressed as well as looking stunning!

Pictures from the wedding will be posted tomorrow.

Funny

Thought provoking isn't it? There are loads of hilarious e-cards at someecards

...although I have yet to use a spoon in the process, but then women are of course more evolved, refined and elegant...

In fact I am almost certain that she is wearing fish net stay up stockings and stiletto high heels, while I myself would most likely be barefooted.like her cousin.from the Appalachians.

Muggee Mugs Mugger

Malmo, Sweden. A man was robbed on Friday afternoon but he ran after the robber and responded in kind - by mugging him.
 
A 25-year-old man was robbed of his cell phone outside the Lidl store on Södra Förstadsgatan. The 25-year-old then ran after the suspected robber, a 41-year-old, and, in turn, robbed him of his mobile phone.

"- It's a very strange story. We have a double mugging, they mugged each other", says police officer Mats Attin.

After their mutual muggings the men started fist fighting. Both men have been taken into custody and will be charged after sobering up in the police lock-up.

Straigh But Not Narrow

Through Joe Jervis over at J.M.G. I just found a great site that I would like to recommend to all gay-friendly straight guys.

"Straight But Not Narrow" is a campaign working to positively impact the way teens view and treat their LGBT peers. The campaign is primarily directed at straight male dudes by using comedy and their peers to positively influence their views on LGBT teens.

...and now I am off to bed to take a greatly overdue nap. My first week back at work after the vacation has been great but rough! It´s good to be back with my work team though!

Sex

I just read an excellent post by Torro Spyker on his blog The Bullring. The post "Talking Dirty" is about sex in SecondLife.

The subject of sex in SecondLife is rarely discussed among residents, at least to my knowledge. I am happy that Torro broke that taboo with his post today.

Having sex in SecondLife is mostly about sight and sound - and pushing those damned buttons. For someone like myself who also depends on touch, smell and taste to enjoy sex the experience is rather limited and usually not that thrilling. Except if the person I am having phone-, voice- or chat sex with can get my imagination racing with his words, images and the sound of his voice.

I always used to say that "my most erogenous zone is my mind, stimulate it and watch what happens...". And that has been the truth, but the problem for me has been that without the missing ingredients it becomes more difficult. Ars had a wonderful, sultry and sexy voice and was good with words, but still I think I may have been a disappointment to him in this area because I did not always get triggered.

When I was reading Torro´s post I realized that I haven´t had sex with another person in real life or SecondLife the last 16 months. To be quite honest I haven´t had much sex with myself either during that period. This insight really scares me. I am only 41 years old and cannot imagine myself doing without for the rest of my life.

Another thing that has worried me lately, since I started flirting again a few months ago, is that I will get a reputation of being a "cockteaser", because I actually do not have any will or intention at the moment to follow up on my flirting. I guess I should just tone it down several notches...

I ask your pardon for this unstructured post, I just had to get it out to start my thought process.
