So I was cruising around FetLife, looking for something to inspire a rant or some deep thought or…  whatever.  Cuz, yanno, life in the Taylor y puss casa has been damned quiet and normal and uneventful for a damned long time.  (For those who may not know, puss = me.  Taylor calls me puss)  And [...]

Holy shit, I have had a busy week.  From a busy weekend – other than Sit-Around-Sunday – right into a busy week.
Work has gotten more intense as I take on a few extra responsibilities – not that I’m complaining! I have a dream jobby sort of thing!  But it’s left me with little time to [...]

(Were you humming along with the title?  I was.)
Taylor and I were talkin’ this morning.  I was telling him about a blog I read and how I used to get all insecure when I read it, like I wasn’t doing it as “right” as this person was.  How even when they had struggles it was [...]

The six year anniversary of Taylor and I meeting for the first time is coming up pretty soon. Early in February, actually.
We’d known each other years and years online but rarely talked.
He used to tell me “one of these days, sin”. (That was my screen name back then. Submissively_sinful. Most people called me sinny. Taylor [...]

I’ve seen this numerous places on the web lately – blogs and websites and quote sites. Despite it’s wide availability, it’s definitely worthy of a repost.

“A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.” ~Anais Nin
I touched on this in my 360° blog but thought it deserved a bit more attention…
There is [...]

“Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy.”~ Sarah Ban Breathnach
I read this quote today and it made me realize…
How often do you hear people say:

When I was younger…
Oh, I remember the time…
God, those were the days…
We had so much fun then…
I was so happy when…
Nothing has been the [...]

(Wrote this a few days ago on the ibook and have just now gotten around to plugging it in to the modem to post it)
So, lately, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to expectations – just in general, really, but specifically the expectations we have of others. Because, face it, we all have expectations. [...]

Waitin’, waitin’, waitin’.
Waitin’ to hear about that house. Waitin’ to pack cuz I don’t know where or when we’re movin’. Waitin’ to get my car fixed so I can get outta jail now and again. Waitin’ on the damned child support people to get their heads out of their asses.
I swear, I have absolutely no [...]

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.” ~Epicurus
I think, sometimes, this is what people most forget…
We tend to want everything – every want, need and desire to be met all at the same time. We [...]

“Indecency, vulgarity, obscenity – these are strictly confined to man; he invented them. Among the higher animals there is no trace of them. They hide nothing; they are not ashamed. Man, with his soiled mind, covers himself. Man is the Animal that Blushes. He is the only one that does it – or has occasion [...]

Well…I’d say we’re creaures of logic.When it suits us.But, as a whole, I guess humans are far more apt to be ruled [...]
